I picked up a scosche bluetooth car kit (motormouth BTAXM) at Walmart as it was on sale for 12.99. I was planning on using it to stream audio, but the stupid company is tricky and make two models. One is just for phone calls and one can do a2dp.
I have a theory that the devices are actually exactly the same but just register themselves as different. One being a hands free headset and an a2dp device.
I was wondering if it was possible to tell the phone that it is a different device (one that supports a2dp) and see if it works. Anyone know of an app or something that can do this? Running CM9 if that helps. Thanks in advance.
I doubt that will work. If your theory is right and it is the same device (I'd say that's not likely, though) you'd need to get the a2dp capable firmware for the device and flash it on there. Simply telling your phone the BT device is a2dp capable wont make it simply accept a2dp streams.

Hello,
I am new to this forum community. This is actually my first post ever.
I own the cingular 8125. I recently aquired a bluetooth stereo headset, hoping to utilize media options on the go. I bought the Southwing sa505, which seems to be a great product, except for the fact that it will not work with my phone. I have contacted Cingular/att, Southwing, and the HTC people. Everyone knows that I need the A2DP hack, but nobody can tell me where to get it.
I've done my own searching using the various engines, but all I can find are waves and waves of forums-no actual links to any type of file. If you guys can help me resolve my frustration in this matter, then I will become a financial contributor.
I am so tired of dead ends, please try to give me a response, whether you can help me or not.
Thank you for your time,
James Coyle

Welcome to the forum.
Usually people here tell n00bs with such questions to keep searching but since you offered us money...
Just kidding!
Seriously though:
Please read the first page of this thread. You will find a download link, full instructions and even screen shots. Though it is not specific for your device it is for very similar model (just no keyboard) and should work just fine for you. (As far as I know this is the only patch available).
In the future I recommend you post questions specific to your device in the Wizard subsection (that is what your phone is called here).
P.S.
This hack is a ripoff from another phone. No official solution exists which is why any of the companies you contacted couldn't help you.

Has anyone gotten an OBD solution to work on the Sensation? I like the features of torque and would probably use this app. I just want to find an OBD reader that works on the Sensation. I've heard HTC and Samsung implemented the blue tooth stack in a funky way and not all devices work.
I use Torque on mine. It connects via bluetooth with no problems.
Welcome to XDA cavorn! I see that was your first post, so I'll take it easy on you.
Please read all forum rules, stickies, and announcements.
There is a Q&A section for the sensation, so questions like this should be asked in that forum. It's a good question too. I'm wondering that myself.
Again, welcome to XDA. I'm sure you'll find a lot of help here.

Elm327 off of eBay. Works perfect.
Oh, hardware wise???
I bought a USB/Bluetooth unit from Scan Tools (scantool.net)
Works with my Laptop and Phone
Thanks guys. I have a scantool.net USB OBD reader and I haven't had any problems with it so if the bluetooth one works on the sensation I'll pick one up.
Hi,
I wonder why HTC' sound enhancer doesn't work on bluetooth, precisely where I need it the most. Is there a technical reason? Is this something hackable?
BTW: Did some searching about this and found nothing. Curiously one guy asking the same got his thread closed by a mod in circumstances that there's no thread that answers this question. I'm writing this just in case it happens to this thread.

I agree, no clue why HTC blocked functionality over BT, but don't believe there's any work around short of maybe someone hacking the app to make it work. For that you need to find a willing developer who has the skills needed though.
Yeah...
I'll check if I can ask this in an HTC official forum (if any?)
Nah, could not find anything on HTC site.
Anybody knows if there's a work around for this limitation?
Ok, time for a thread revival. Apparently this is still an issue, at least for me. So, has there been any headway on this?
Bump for an answer.

I'll actually enjoy a lot using EQ function with BT! To my mind it is the most missing option in wp7.
Sent from my custromized HD7 using XDA App
And again.....
Hi, I got a BT headset for Christmas and I was very disappointed that I ite can use the SRS when I listen to music. The bass is very good when I connect the 3.5 mm jack on the headset, but I want to use bluetooth function with SRS.
does anyone know if you can change this in the registry editor?
I have searched, without finding answers

Hi,
I've never personally heard of such a thing, and doubt very much that it's possible.... But I have been wrong before... ?
So you can ask about this in this dedicated help thread in your device section,

Hello
I'm having a problem with my galaxy A8 international variant code SM-A800F
The problem is primarily in the headphone jack and it's primarily an audio statics, I hear some hissing and audio statics from time to time, what makes it wired is that it's only showing up in headphones with built-in mic, I tried an old apple headphones without a mic and there was no problem, the problem appear in low tones when I hit sometime the touch screen and the touch screen gives the sound I hear some statics, when I play a song that is low in tone I hear the statics as well, what makes it also weird is that the statics and the hissing sound is reduced when I rise up the volume above the level that the phone advice me not to pass it, if I open adaptive sound feature and open personalize and listen to the right side I will hear the statics in the left side and vis-versa so what's the problem?
Is it hardware or software ? The majority of the phone dealers and equipments owners who fix phones told me it's a software problem
I love the phone but this is a deal breaker to me
But what do you see is it a software or hardware problem ?
If it was a software, which one should I install that could fix it, I can't root or update the OS through Odin, as no software is available for the SM-A800F international version of the Galaxy A8
Thanks.
