Cracking sound with Bluetooth headset - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development

Ever since I upgraded to Windows Mobile 6, I have two big problems with using a Bluetooth headset with the HTC X7500.
The first one is in topic over here and has not been solved yet (or maybe a little, by using another headset which doesn't seem to have that problem with the X7500), yet the second problem goes for BOTH the headsets:
Cracking sound and very often. When I make a call, when I receive a call, it doesn't matter, there's a very loud, ongoing cracking sound, so I can't hear what the other one is saying. They seem to hear me though.
Is the Bluetooth stack/Headset Profile that messed up in the WM6 ROM? In Windows Mobile 5.0 I didn't have any of the two problems....

I found the opposite, the sound is much better in wm6

I have a Jabra 5020 headset and the reception under WM06 is very bad. It was much better under wm05, and I would probably love to flash back to solve this issue. Pity that cannot be done at the moment.
I had a clear reception from 3-4 meters away before flashing 06, now it is 50 cm.....

It must be the headsets then.. I have both an old Logitec (With Boom Mike)
and new BlueAnt Stero headphones, Neither have sound problems and work
clearly up to 30ft away.. Yes I'm using WM6 too..

No problem with me as well since migrated to WM6. Not even need to change the registry. Maybe yo u should try using other BT headset instead...
cheers..

before i buy jabra 250 . is it work well with pda2k

before i buy jabra 250 . is it work well with pda2k now after the new rom????
also do you have something better than jabra?
jabra 250
no good 4 a xda2
jabra also confirm this if asked
so which bluetooth headset is best ?
Sony Ericsson Akono HBH-300 ok ?
Mine works faultlessly with my XDAII.
Mine works, but there is no actual handsfree. i.e. you cannot do a last number redial, as with the wired headphones, so I presume it is not legal to use in UK when driving?
When you ring someone there is a second delay then the XDA transfers the call to the headset. When you recieve a call you have to press the answer but on the headset then it is transfered. You don't get it ringing in your ear. Well mine doesn't.:-(
Regards
I get ringing in my ear with mine and no dely when transferring.
I can confirm that only answering and ending calls work. There is no dialing on LNR.
Headset
I have a blue angel ( SX-66) and neither my BT200 or 250 work with it....
The Stack is too old as well so my BT keyboard will not work either !
Stay away from Jabra 250 on these phones. Jabra 200 *might* be ok.
HBH-300, HBH-660, Plantronics M3000, Logitech Freedom are few that work well.
HS820 will work but audio is poor compared to above head sets.
You can patch that SX66 with i-mate patches.
Hard Reset and apply these in this order.

Here is some commentary from Tech Support. Does this make any sense?
Dear Sir.
Thank you for writing in and for your query. Regarding your issue, I would like to tell you that you should install the Bluetooth patches after upgrading your device in order to fix the device Bluetooth issues. On the other hand, regarding Bluetooth headsets, Sony Ericsson HBH-65, Cellink, Jabra and Motorola headsets work perfectly with i-mate devices. Most of these headsets have been tested by i-mate technical team. There have not been any reported complaints regarding these headsets as they are quite compatible and error free with the i-mate™ devices.
Regarding Plantronics M3000 Bluetooth headset have not been tested yet from i-mate technical team.
On the other hand, make sure that your headset has the following specifications: Bluetooth Ser. Version 1.1 and supports the headset profile.
I brought a jabra 250 and didn't know it had problems with this device 100$ later I reallized that it doesn't work it pairs and I can hear people but if I am more than 2 feet from the phone the audio become muffled.
my coworker has a nokia headset. and the same thing happened.
I am not sure what my bluetooth version is but I I do have the latest roms.
Hi,
I have the Jabra BT200 with the non bluetooth adapter and I get more crackle in my ear that I get out of my bowl of Rice Krispies! And there is no point in using the adapter with it when the headset is bluetooth and is supposed to work with my MDA III. Oh! and for the record... I also have the SX56 and the bluetooth adapter and it didn't work with that device either. When I plugged it in the jack and turn on the set , no sound. Jabra is a decent product. But lets face it, Any company that is going to make anything or install anything Bluetooth need to stick with one set of Bluetooh frequency protocols instead of trying to make it customized to work with just certain devices. Because everybody is not going to stick with the same headset or the same phone and people upgrade all the time and others just stick with what works. In my research I did fine that any of the Plantronics headsets (M2500 best pick) works well. Which I will pick up this weekend. I hope this helps. Cheers everyone.

using a bt200
I'm using a blue angel (XDA2s) with a Jabra BT200 headset, I have installed the recently released patch from o2 to fix the bluetooth problems, and now I find it works ok, audio is reasonable withing a couple metres, gets a bit flaky further away but I'm never sure if that's the bluetooth or network signal in my house!
It IS slightly annoying that you can't do dialing, not even last number redial from your headset, but mostly if I'm driving I'm not making calls, merely expecting them, so I can answer on my headset OK and talk to the caller. I DO get a short ring tone in my ear (series of short beeps).
I got my headset free with my phone so I'm happy to live with it's limitations til I've finished paying for Xmas, then I might ebay it and buy an officially supported one which I can do LNR with.
I have heard (dont know if anyone can confirm) that the blue angel doesnt support voice dialling via your headset (for any bt headset) as the bluetooth headset doesnt take over the microsoft for all applications on the blueangel.
Jabra FS-258 (Jabra 250 + car charger)
No problems here (crackle) after upgrading to the 3500 stack. Making voice commands isn't the fault of the gadget -- blame the stack on the XDA. Originally bought mine for the SE T68i and it worked perfect. Moving to the SE K700i the call button didn't work anymore. So, this is a software driver implementation problem definitely. The best thing about the Jabra is its linked to all the previous devices and I just have to turn off the bluetooth on one so the connection hops to the other. Seamless integration with the XDA IIs.
My Jabra 250 works perfectly on my the XDA II and my XDA IIs. On the IIs i do get some crackle/static related to the bad stack especially so after the 3500 update but hopefully that will be fixed soon, anyway that is no fault of the headset.
Also on the IIs it is extremely loud and i had to turn it down. I always had it on full on the II.
On both II and IIs there is a ringing in the headset aswell as the devices ringing.
It is a shame that handsfree is not fully supported still in the new IIs.
o2 don't like making it easy to find out about compatability, do they?
There's the list on the my-xda website, but that's not very exhaustive.
Muggins here phoned up customer services trying to find out whether the Logitech stuff worked. After taking me through security, I got another number...
...which was engaged for 20 minutes.
So, eventually I got thru, and was told to phone customer services (on a different number) and ask for data support.
I got through there. "Nick", a helpful chap, then passed me onto tech support.
Tech support insist that the only things that work are the:
SonyEricsson HBH200 and 65, and the Nokia HS 4W, 3W, HD W3 and W2.
I suspect they are talking what is known technically as "balls".
This site seems much more helpful...

Problem with Sony DR-BT20NX

Hi,
Today I finally got my Sony DR-BT20NX stereo bluetooth headset, but the joy wouldn't last for long. I have paired it and played music with awesome sound quality. However, as soon as I put the phone in my pocket or even just behind my back the sound drops and doesn't resume until I bring the phone back up front. It's just ridiculous. I also have a pair of Plantronics 590A and with them I can easily go into another room without the music dropping. Is their something wrong with it or is there a problem with this headset and the Tytn?
I have the a swedish Tytn with the 1.18 rom.
Edit: Btw, sleuths fix did nothing to help this problem.

I think it is the same on the SONY HBH-DS970, the BT part needs a pretty clear line of "sight" to the Tytn to play without interuptions. It will defenetly not work with receiver in fron of me and phone behind my back.
I t will work with the phone in my front trouser pocket, but can get interupted if the arm is in the way to long.
Interesting to hear that the range seem to be so much better with the Plantronics 590.
What experience does others have with their BT stereo hedsets?
It did not even work with the phone in my front pocket which pretty much renders it useless. Fortunately webhallen.com agreed for me to return it.
My Plantronics headset works superbly and I can actually go into another room still with crisp sound and no interruptions. Since those have worked so well for me I'm considering giving the Plantronics Pulsar 260 a try, although I like the looks of the Sony headset better. Seems to be more cable on the Pulsar 260. You can clip it to your belt and the cables reaches your ears, which I think defeats their purpose.
Can you please tell us which ROM/Radio/Ext_rom etc... you are using??
All but the most current WM6 ROMs have problems playing A2DP you see.
I am using the standard rom, mostly because people have reported better a2dp sound than with the updates. I need the swedish keyboard so I don't have that many choices. However, since my Plantronic 590A have worked so well and with good sound and distance I do not think that the rom is to blame. Also I have not had any sound dropping every 40-50 seconds which many users are reporting. Probably because I have a task manager or setup that works like Sleuths a2dp fix. Also, I tried the Sonys with my Qtek 9100 with the same results.
My setup:
Rom: 1.18.263.2
Radio: 1.07.01.10
ExtRom: 1.18.263.104

OMG....upgrade...upgrade NOW
Having been on this forum for nearly a year and had a TyTN I can almost guarantee that the ROM is the culprit sir. Like I said before ALL but the latest WM6 ROMs have issues with A2DP...im running Black Shadow and A2DP is almost perfect, streaming to several different devices works no problem.

I don't think it has changed the range? Sounds good but still needs a clear line of sight between my Tytn and HBH-DS970.
Using Shadow now and LVSW latest before.
Thats not the kind of performance I (and alot of others) get. Do you have anything else you could test this with?? Like a friends A2DP headset??
My TyTN was in my bag in the boot of the car and was streaming nicely to the car stereo, changing track via the AVRCP function.

Jompao: How is the a2dp quality with Black shadow and do you get the swedish characters on the keyboard with that rom?
I haven't upgraded simply because I haven't had any problems whatsoever with my rom. All the applications I use work like a charm and the a2dp quality was above all my expectations. Than again, I used to use a Qtek 9100 (still own it) and the a2dp quality sucked.

Bluetooth headsets Compatiblity!!!

Okay, I'm not trying to reinvent the will. I'm curious thought, what are some good compatible bluetooth headsets for HTC TC? What are the bad ones? ....using Murato Radio and Original Rom!!!! Or any other radio/Rom combo!
I have seen a post on headsets/stereo music/phone thread. But not one with a specific list of compatible headsets.
I'm asking because I'm trying to figure out if my brand new (one week old) device have a bad bluetooth problem or do I need another headset. Currently using Plantronics Voyager 510, and I cant go 3 feet without it getting choppy and static, sound quality is f**k*d up!!!!
So I will post first: Plantronics Voyager 510 ....NOPE!!
Just be sure and purchase from a place that allows returns if you're not happy with them. Find some you like on your own.

Jabra JX10 Series II: Works well
I love my Jabra BT620S
well i have a Plantronics Voyager 510 and have been using it first with Artemis and now with Polaris and i have to say its THE BEST heatset i have ever used (and there have been many!)
good up to 15m and sound perfect.... you have something wrong either with the headset you have or your Polaris
I'm currently using Philips SHB9000. At first signt, it pairs but no headset icons on the top bar (which means all the sound goes through the speakerphone).
Using BTAudio, sound gets redirected to the headset (still no headset icon) but quality is awful, using HomeScreen PlusPlus UI A2DP option the icon appears and sound is incredibly good.
I was using Murata radio/udK R8 when I bought it one week ago. Changing radio or ROM did not change anything so either it is OS or headset related.
Regarding your choppy sound, try this method (especially for Plantronics Voyager 510) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2533699&postcount=13, this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2533699&postcount=14 and this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1317007&postcount=18

Thanks for the resource everyone. I appreciate the response and the help.
I purchased the Plantronics Discovery 655, and guess what? The exact same thing is happening. I still get choppy reception at times.
though I have noticed it is slightly better then the previous headset. And people who I'm tallking to say that I sound alot more clearer.
My conclusion, now, my phone has a bad radio. Either the bluetooth hardware is jacked...or my radio is horrible.
What do you guys think?
BTW i purchased it from a website and I didnt get any warranty on it.
So I called HTC and complained about my bluetooth connection. The lady (valerie) told me that as long as it works, they are not interested in the quality of the connection. After complaining a little more, I ended with the conclusion that I have to test alot of headsets until I find the right one. So to add to this thread:
Good connection will be defined as, "clear crispy hearing on both ends, no static and choppy sounds, and the ability to walk away at most 6 feet (maybe 3 meters) from the phone and still maintain sound quality connection with the phone: Good connection".
So those who have post already with their headset, can you repost to determine if you have "Good connection". My only purpose for this is to purchase this time the "right" headset instead of numerous returns to the store to find the perfect one.
Jabra JX10 series II
Jabra BT6210S
Phillip SHB9000
Do all of these fit the Good Connection definition?
Thanks for all who have post. I truly appreciate your help. You are helping me save money and time!!!!
Yes, JX10 series II: Good connection (FYI, not sure about the series I, as there are some firmware changes that happened.)
I think I can say that Phillip SHB9000 has out-of-the-box a fairly good connection (did not test the 3 meters test yet and had natively choppy sound before the registry modification) with my TC.
After the reg modification it has a good connection (still did not checked the 3 meters connection but I never get disconnected), but it can't be compared to the 2 Jabras at it is really dedicated to listening to music (covers almost all your ears). It is the first time I'm buying that type of headset and it is really a different world than usual headsets (intra auricular or in-ear). The sound is clear and all details are present.
The only drawback compared to the other is obviously the size...
BTW, disconnection problem with Jabra headsets could be solved by HTC official Bluetooth fixes (as one has been especially made for them) and BT disconnection is also relying to the ROM version.

Jabra BT8040
I use the Jabra BT8040. It has as major advantage that it not only supports the handsfree profile, but also wireless 'stereo' (A2DP), so I'm able to listen to music on the headset too.
thanks muyz
after applying the patches from HTC's website, my Jabra BT500 works pretty good. the issues before were addressed and it works fine now as a hands free in the car headset.
i have tested it while walking and talking and something strange i've never encountered: crackling noise. it's as if i was on a wired set with bad wires. as soon as i stop moving, the connection is back to normal. strange. this is why i said it's great for in car connection since the phone and your head will stay relatively static.
looking for a new headset myself actually.
Hi,
I'm using the Jabra BT3030 which also support A2DP for my music listening. After I applied the bluetooth fix from the htc website it's working flawlessly, with no loss of connection as it did before the patch. Very happy with it.
what does the Jabra BT3030 look like? Is it jus the dog tag thing...or is it also wired or wireless plugins? Can you take a quick pic and upload?
Thanks
I tried looking online and I only see the tag piece...is that it?
i'm using Jabra BT620s - work's perfect
i had just some break's in stereo while running in traffic (maybe caused by other BT devices from cars?) - so I changed A2DP setting in SKTools and now it's perfect
strongly recomend
slightly off topic, but what are the registry hacks people keep mentioning
I have 8 cruises for my company's engineers and all of them are moaning about the carkit connections. We have applied the hot fixes and they are still generally rubbish
a selection of the carkits ;
nokia ck 7w
motorola HF 850
focus c-max bluetooth in car
Auidi bluetooth in car
various jabra headsets
motorola HS 800
Keeps cutting out. poor/ tinny sounding, mine (Moto hf 850) makes outgoing calls ok (sometimes) but takes about 15 seconds to hear voice of othter caller on incoming

Anyone ? this phone is pants, great pda tho
…and for the HBH-DS980 ?
I have a Jabra X10 Serie II, but I want a HBH-DS980.
Is there someone who know if it works with Polaris ?
I mean, every function of the headset [playlist, list contacts, etc…].
Thanks for your feedback.
It doesn't work fully with anything, its pants !
and even when it does work fully ... it stops working when it feels like it !

Recommended Bluetooth Headset for Tilt 2

Can anyone recommend a good BT headset for the Tilt 2? I currently have a BlueAnt Z9i, but it does not work with the phone. I've used 3 different ROMs and a number of radios, and the phone has never been able to pair with the headset.
So, can someone please recommend a good replacement headset for me?
I am currently using this ROM (build 21892):
|R|6.5.5|ROM|WWE| ★ Energy "Leo" 23542/21892 |Mar 5| ★ Sense 2.5.2012 / MaxManila ★
I just need great reception, answer/hang up button on headset, and volume controls (optional).
Thanks!
I currently use an insignia model number ns-bthdp and it has been a great headset I specially like the fact that it doubles as stereo headphones

Thanks for the suggestion. It doesn't look too bad. However, I am really looking for a regular (mono, one ear) headset - unless I can find a stereo model that would allow me to detach the stereo component when not in use.

The plantronics Voyager 855 will do that...it's a BT stereo headset but you can disconnect the 2nd earbud and just use it like a regular headset too. I haven't used one, but I do have another plantronics BT headset (stereo only) that pairs just fine with my TP2

I will post a review in a few weeks a put a link up here for those who are interested.

I figured it was new enough to work with a new phone, but I can't even get the phone to see the headset at all.
I even paired it with my old (almost 5 years!) Motorola H3 this morning, as a temporary fix and it found the headset right away!
I've had a Jawbone ICON for a while now, it works great with the tilt 2.
Do any of your BTs have a working mute button on the device? I am surprised that almost none of the BTs on the market have a mute button. I thought the whole purpose of BT was so that you could pocket the phone and still make and take calls. But if I can't mute from the headset then it defeats the purpose for me. I am aware that many people probably never mute their phone calls. But those of us who use our devices for business purposes, mute is a requirement for conference calls.
Ive got a Nokia BH-103. Its a good headset, but i havnt used it with my TP2 yet.
Mute
The Moto H715 works with the tilt 2... You can mute the calls by pressing both Volume buttons.. I am pretty sure most headsets can mute a call, just need to see what butons need to be pressed
blackberry hs-655+, best BT headset i have used. So light you dont even know you have it on, has its own cradle that also vibrates when a phone call is coming in so if you have it in your pocket and your phone at your desk of something, you will feel the headset vibrating
A vibrating headset on my ear would likely freak me out every time it happened. LOL!
Invisio
Invisio G5. Great headseat, I have blown through many now, and this one is super comfortable, great sound quality, and the charging pack is an awesome feature.

I have a BlueAnt Z9i and it works just fine with my Tilt 2 with the stock ROM. It paired first try and activates voice command, answers and hangs up. The volume controls work fine too.
My other headset is a Plantronics 510. It is old school, but it also works just fine. Folks say this one sounds better.
The BlueAnt is more comfortable, has better noise reduction and is capable of higher earpiece volume.
The Plantronics, with the foam thingie, is better in the wind and sounds better to folks on the other end.
YMMV, FWIW, My 2 cents.

Thanks for your reply. You are the second person to tell me that they successfully paired a Z9i with the Tilt 2. I don't know what the problem is, but I am able to pair the headset with other phones, and I can pair the phone with other headsets.
I went with the Motorola H17, but the connection kept dropping so I returned it for another unit.
I'll say this, it is not a solution by any stretch of the imagination, but sometimes $0.02 counts. I have had strange behavior with my Moto S9 using the rom you outlined. The sound is often choppy and I cannot figure out why. As far as my H715 goes I have had no issues. Are you having this issue specifically with NRG roms or are the three roms you tried from different chefs and potentially using different BT drivers etc.?

Thanks for the input, it is definitely appreciated. I used the stock ROM, then the Leo Cell EVO ROM, and now the NRG ROM with the same results on each one.
It's really weird because my 5 year old headset pairs and works fine with the phone. It's just too large to wear for long periods of time (and the sound isn't great either).

Honestly, I think the oddball Widcomm bluetooth stack in the TP2 is one of it's biggest achilles heels...it doesn't seem to be able to give consistent performance across a single unit, let alone across the entire production line.
I think it's to blame for a number of issus that defy normal troubleshooting (like the one you're seeing now), as well as extremely high level of batt drain whenever you connect to/with anything via BT

Crap Bluetooth?

I purchased mine yesterday. Once the WOW effect wore off, came the disappointments..
The bluetooth is terrible. Lots of static in my Plantronics Voyager Pro, and also it pairs with my Nissan BT handsfree, but only connects the first time, afterwards its not possible to connect to it anymore.
Flashed to the latest KE7, factory reset, did not help at all.
How can such an expensive phone be like this? Bluetooth is one of the most important features in a phone...
I have the same pairing issue like you. Don´t get my Sony Bluetooth headset to work. Tested it with two devices.
I have car bt xplode System and i never had it so good. Always connects. It does skip if wifi is on though. I had the same issue with gs1.

Happily mine works nice, with SonyEricsson a2dp stereo headset, Belkin a2dp receiver, a nokia handsfree (not sure about the model), the file transfer is faaaaaast
It has paired everything I used it with and no problems so far.
The sound is even better than it is via my retired iphone.
does anyone tried working with SE LIVEVIEW.
My N1 had truble, and looking forword to SGS2 and don't know yet if it is OK.
Also have problem with a Plantronic Discovery 975. Statics and stuttering sound. No problem pairing though and it is the same (bad) sound quality if I'm near or 5 m away.
I'm on KE7 firmware.
Wow, should this be added to the official bug list?
For me, bluetooth intermittently skips if wifi is turned on. Once I turn wifi off, its crystal clear. This has happened on all my different bluetooth headsets so if other are experiencing the same thing, I think this is definitely an "official bug".
Mine skips, and randomly drops connection to my JVC car stereo requiring a reboot. Back and forward buttons don't work reliably either.
Anyone who says theirs is clear is wrong. They just don't have an ear for decent sound quality. The bitpool on every Android phone (including Cyanogen) is horribly low and it really shows in the mid-high tones (ie hi-hats). No-ones is different.
Worst of all, sometimes if I get out of my car, I'll get a 'hot' leg where the device is overheating from the bluetooth going nuts. I feel like it's damaging my SGS2.
Yapp, can confirm that turning of wifi stopped the stuttering. Sound isn't great but probably usable. Defenitly a bug?

Any progress on this yet? Mine drops the sound quite a lot. Remains connected but just no sound and does this about every 15 minutes, requiring bluetooth to be turned on and off.
First let me start off by saying, my bluetooth pairs well with my Motorola S7HD and the sound to ME is DECENT until you put it in your pocket and from there it gets "staticky" somewhat but not too bad.
As for the car, I have to manually pair the phone to the car stereo every time. Sometimes it would connect it to automatically. The sound to MOST of us in the car is fine. Keep in mind most of us aren't audiophiles. If it plays well, understandable, and without any static, it's a ok in my book.
The suckerpunch is that sometimes the bluetooth would drop connection now and then. I need to do a restart on the phone to get it flowing again. Meh.
If anyone finds a fix, please tell
i also get crappy sound quality, but whats worse is, that neither the mic nor the earplugs work on my BT headset when i try to answer a call! (sony ericsson mw600 headset)
only when i pause the call and resume it, the headset works!
did anyone experienced this?
solved it by disabling wifi....seems to be a common android issue
Any progress on this issue?
E.g. does 2.3.4 improve?
Hi @all,
I noticed a (bluetooth) headset issue while calling (not only in this rom, even in all roms i have tested): when wifi is on, crack sounds make every call inaudible.
It happens with plantronics voyager 520 and BMW professional (2011) car kit.
I can't believe having the best phone with such an error.
Suspending wifi, stops the crack sounds, but the quality of headset calls is much worse than with my "old" SGS1.
I use my phone two hours a day for calling. I'm not amused about this fact.
Other surveillances?
