I've been playing around with my XDAIIi today and finally got music coming from my Jabra BT250.
Pressing the answer/end button on the Jabra toggles the sound to the headset and back to the XDAIIi.
At the same time I get my Tom Tom voice over the music!
The sound is not great, certainly not Hi-Fi though this, I guess, is mainly down to to the headset.
doesent work with me...
XDAIIi hardware+drivers support voice dialing over BT and playing audio. It was written in specification.
It is impossible to make these drivers work on normal XDAII or XDAIIs devices.
That's too bad for 2s user!
how did you get this to work as on my XDA2i i cant get it work, mainly the tomtom voices i am intrested in, not fussed about the music side
Thanks
John
I don't like answers like the one I'm about to give you and it's all I have.
I was on a call and ended it with my Jabra headset button. I then pressed the button again as I wasn't certain it had ended and I got the Tom Tom voice. I then played some music and that came through as well.
Now I can switch between XDA sound and Jabra sound just by toggling the headset button.
I haven't done anything with settings or patches. I got it quite by accident. If you want any info on my settings just ask but I'm sure they are all default.
The only thing that had changed between not getting it and getting it was the installation of Microsfot Voice Command, which is probably the best bit of s/w I have used. I don't know if this is a factor or not.
Thanks Mindraceing, are you useing Voice comands v1 or v1.5
Thanks

I'm using 1.5 UK version.

I am looking for a stereo bluetooth headset and was wondering if members of this forum have any suggestions of what to buy.
I'm going to go with an iTech r35 clip. It seems to have the best support for a range of profiles, and also allows connection of your own preferred headphones.
It seems reports of it working with tytn are mixed, but this appears to be because the tytn BT stack is not the best.
I'll give it a go, but I don't hold out 100% confidence in any BT stereo headsets unless something is done to address the weaknesses of the underlying device.
good price for the itech clip at the orange shop £29.99 (includes a free dongle to allow you to use the headset with other stereo equipment via a 3.5mm jack.)
let us know how you get on as I think it's ok.
pros
1 quality acceptable for me using my own ear buds
2 A2DP works well so far
cons
1 no car charger included
2 hands free reconnects fine when coming back into range but the stereo wireless does not and you have to reconnect manually
3. I'm using the headset through my car stereo aux line. works great for playing music and taking calls except people ringing in hear an echo (themselves through the car speakers about .5seconds after they speak). I thought it was one of those things but it doesn't do it using my w800i. - I really need to resolve this one :?:
I havent heard any complaints about the S38 I think that from what comments I have heard would be the better choice
Im using the s38 it works geat!
Hey,
I've been looking at buying the r35 and was wondering whether or not the clip has a built in microphon on it or not? Becuase I want to be able to use my own headphones and still answer an incoming call. Thanks
I have chosen to go with the Jabra BT500v so far so good quite comfy, only problem is that it won't let me use it to do voice commands on the Vario 2 so some hacks are needed I think.

+1 ?
I use the i-Clip R35 and it works great with the Hermes, using my own headphones and the clip picks up my voice really well even if it's in my shirt pocket. The forward/backwards button works with WM but not the play/pause button, still trying to get these to work with TCPMP.
My R35 clip arrived today. I bought from here and paid circa £64 for two delivered to the UK.
So far it's working well (I made the registry alterations to improve the stereo - as suggested in the wiki). In WM the pause/play button doesn't seem to work (but the volume up/down and track back/forward do). It flawlessly switches to headset whenever a call comes in.
The only thing I don't like is a device issue - having to keep the device on (ie all buttons and the screen active) when playing mp3's.
I'll keep track of how I get on, and report back on a long term test.
so pressing the down button on the joypad in media player to switch the screen off (but keep the music playing) stops the iTech from working ?

If you are having problems with accidentally hitting the buttons etc.. when the phone is in your pocket, have you tried enabling the "Lock" in the settings menu to activate after 0 minutes.
This is what I used to do when I was listening to Tomtom voice commands on my motorbike (used to have the phone in my pocket and didn't want to accidentally phone someone, activate other programs etc..)
Solved the problem for me

I wasn't aware that you could do that. Does it also disable the buttons? I find I get all sorts of presses as I slide it in and out of my bag. I'll have a play, and see what happens.

thx for that. I'll give it a go.
My first pda phone, so these tips - even the most simple - are extremely useful.
Im wanting to get stereo audio for use in my motorbike helmet for music. At the same time have the audio from tomtom to come through the ear piece. then when a call comes in take it. so i can let folks know i need to pull over for the call.
Also i want to be able to use the voice dial to make a call, save taking off the gloves to dial.
I currently have a jabra 205 which i use in the car but only have the tomtom on the xda2i.
I have run tests, the xda2i lets me listen to music on the jabra (very poor quality) tomtom also comes through as the music is playing. when a call comes in the audio switches to the call but when the call ends the music n tomtom switch back to the xda2i and i need to press the button on the jabra.
On the mini s i cant get the audio from media player to come through the jabra.
I know what ever i get im going to have to strip out and fit into the helmet (doesnt bother me as long as it will work, i am an electronics engineer)
so what stereo head sets are there and will they do what i want
Wrong forum for this topic. Please post in "General" or "Accessories".
hmmm
Err this is the accessories bit for the wizzard/mini s isn't?? As the question is about A2DP and it working with the mini s, and if the mini has the ability to run music, tomtom and calls through Bluetooth headset.
If this does need posting in another area will you post the link to which area you want me to put it in.
Thanks
203 views and only one reply telling me its in the wrong place......
i have got the motorolla bluetooth headset (big and embarassing to wear) and it works very well with the wizard (I am using mr clean tmobile uk rom), and does everything you want, but the only problem is a cant get microsoft voice command to work reliably by pressing the button on the headset.
Hi,
I'm somewhat of a noob regarding Tytn/Hermes updates etc. Hopefully someone can help me with this problem.
I just bought a Jabra BT620s bluetooth headphone. Connecting works but when I play music in Windows Mediaplayer, the music sometimes stops as if it's buffering a stream.
Does anyone know if this has something to do with a bad connection or should I install some other musicplayer on my PDA? Or is it because the Jabra is just a worthless headphone?
thanks in advance
this has been noticed by several folks now. also problems such as slowing down and speeding up of the audio.
My tests have concluded that i couldnt run my bluetooth head set and bluetooth gps at the same time. on its own the headset was great.
Check you have nothing running as well as wmp also if it is an a2dp headset do a search for the way to add support somewhere on here.. sorry dont know the link.
Music skipping on me as well
I just bought the BT620 - and tried several music players - they all skip. Sometimes I can get thru an entire song and other times it skips so bad as to cal it worthless. The speed up and slow down pitch is very annoying.
Is the issue the headset or the BT stack the MDA uses.
Is there a fix/hack ?
Thanks
I just purchased the Cingular 8525 and BT620s. I can only get the headphones to work as a telephone headset. They will not work with the media player at all, the sound comes from the handset everytime. I have tried pairing them several times, but with no success. Any ideas?

Same Problem. But my BT620s does not work with AVM Blue!Fritz, MDA3 nor with a Logitech DiNovo Desktop. I'm getting angrrrry...
Actually, I got it fixed. With the headset on, and paired, goto the communications manager (second button down on the right side of the handset) and click on settings>bluetooth settings. Then go to the Devices tab. If the heaset is paired with the 'phone you will see it in the list. Click and hold the stylus on the Jabra BT620s item and a pop-up menu will appear. Select "Set as Wireless Stereo". Majically the 620s headset will start flashing both earphones (instead of just one) and it works fine. The headset will automatically switch from phone mode to A2DP mode from that point on. It's slick. I have not encountered the buffering problem reported by others.
Good luck...
Just got my bt620s's and am having the same issue. thought that reducing the quality with fit4cat would work, but nothing seems to fix it. also, for some reason the X-button functionality of spb pocketplus is gone when listening to music with my 8525. After pairing the headphones with my G5, sound quality is worse then than that of the 8525, but I experienced no pauses or skips with the computer, however massive pauses (almost a minute) with the 8525. Tried using mortplayer and wmp. I think these are getting returned unless any of you have found a fix in the meantime. Not to mention the entire phone slows to a crawl, not good.
I too use the Jabra BT620s with the 8525. I also have buffering problems. However, the Jabra also freezes (i.e., locks) the 8525. Bottom line, the Jabra BT620s is being returned.
Hi, I just posted a new thread where I explained how I got the whole thing working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293054

Mono instead of Stereo !?!?
Mind the fix of CrazyBrit above, it made the BT 620s jump to Audio mode (both earpieces flashing). The problem with interupted streams got fixed once I shut the WLAN / WIFI function of while listening to music. Remember: WLAN and BT use the same frequency band. In a "normal" data stream interferences are a side issue, but in realtime streams - fatal.
However, even that everything seemed fine with my set, I only hear MONO audio, ie. the left and the right earpiece give exactly the same audio. Now i am stuck. Any hint for me? I got a Swisscom / Vodafone v1605 OEM of the HTC TyTN plus the BT620s. Anybody aware of a firmware update, a software fix or a tricky setting?
Thanks,
Pefis
Well guys ....
I used to have the skipping issue as well , seems to be either a a2dp hack issue , or the ROM is too slow to handle streaming and decoding siultaneously !
Not any more .......
I started using XM6 , and WOW , I can run pocket player without overclocking , and I can finally get pocketmusic to run smoothly and stream a2dp !
So give it a try , worked for me , may work for u !
I am running the bt620s with wm6, everythnig works beautifully. It also worked great with wm5, but 6 is better.
Now for me, these 2 settings made a world of difference as far as quality goes:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/Bitpool=60
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/MaxSupportedBitpool=35 (or greater)
I have searched the forum but can not seem to find an answer for the issue I am having. I am trying to route the phone ring tones to BT headset, and can't find a software or a hack that does it for me. I tried Jetware hands-free soft, but can not enable that feater with that software because its grayed out.
Are there any other progs I should try to use, or is it useless with hermes?
I heard this worked with other HTC phones.
Thanks
K
Hey what's up man? Here's a little program that reroutes all sound from your hermes to your mono bt headset. Basically once it's installed, turn your bt headset on and hold down the call button on your headset for about 3 seconds. it will transfer over all sound once u have done that. gl.
but isn't it going to make BT awake all the time?
Is the battery going to drain fast witht his method?
thanks
K
nah the battery might drain a tad faster cause it's reproducing the ring tone and any other noises ur cell makes but bt headsets are designed to be on standby for days.. i hardly think a couple rings here and there will kill it bro.
didn't work
i still hear regular tones from bt headset instead of my ringtone...
is voice dial conflicting with it?
i honestly don't know.. it works with mine.. im sorry it isnt with yous..
try voice command 1.6 works great on my wizard
Hello everyone,
I was using a O2 Zinc on WM6 platform before the current Nike. With Zinc, i was able to listen to mp3 songs played to my SE HBH610 one-sided headset but not now on Nike. I noticed though that the Bluetooth stack on these 2 sets are different while on Zinc, you have an option to "Enable Audio". Anyone, can help? Thank you in advance.
Alano
what settings you have try?
There is nothing much to try. Just either to delete this headset or set it as "handsfree".
There should also a option for bluetooth audio if the phone recognize a2dp on a headset.
my car-hifi has handsfee and bluetooth audio and i can check both.
A2DP for music works like a charm for me...
i dunno about the settings my bluetooth headset when activated automaticly takes over from the phone speaker when im using media programs, though not with all programs. im using an Jabra bt3030 headset myself.
There doesn't seem to be an option perse for A2DP, anyone got an idea?
I have managed to downloaded a 3-party software that allows me to hear on the same headset audio. This show that there is nothing wrong with the capability of the headset but the software of the bluetooth in Nike. As far as I remember, on WM6 of Zinc, it is using Broadcom BT stack. Anyone has ideas where to get this to replace the MS stack on Nike?
Weird - I recently bought a SE HBH-DS220 headset and it works fine together with both Windows Media player and the inbuilt HTC media player.
Nike is A2DP compatible as said in the phone documentation. I use to listen music wirth my motorola S9. When I pair the S9, audio is automatiquely routed to it.
I have a motorola S9 stereo Bt too and everything works fine, even games and tcmcp work without problems.
I use this Blue Tooth Headset. Reason ... no other Product use 24bit D/A Converter! Not much Headset, can match with this product!!! and ... i am a fan of old designes ... if you have a sunglasses ... you look like the first Napster Logo LLOOOLL

The S9s are a great set, but don't ever go running/cycling or get sweaty with them - they totally fail - which is seriously lousy for something thats "designed" for such usage.
I use the Motorola SoundPilot S705, which i brilliant.
I have an outtake for 3,5 mm. jack, and FM radio. When I turn the SoundPilot on, it immediately paires up with my phone.
