I am going mad -
before upgrading to WM2003 SE - my bluetrek G2 worked fantastically.
NOW
it sets it up as handsfree device - I hear people through the headset but people only hear me through the mike on the XDA - the bluetrek microphone seems to be "disabled" in handsfree mode.
ANY ideas how to enable the microphone on the bluetek headset so it is in HEADSET mode and not through the microphone input on the XDA ?
I have been looking for an aswer to same problem. Hopefully we can find something together. :idea:
Problem solved
When I upgraded to 2003 SE I had three main problems and spent hours trying to solve them:
1) Bluetooth handsfree automatically kicked in - when I needed headset mode - rendered my bluetrek headset useless.
2) e-mail attachments - enormous problems downloading and sending attachments
3) alarm clock - not ringing
I have solved all 3 problems by reinstalling the 2003 se rom using the rom of 2.06 instead of the "merged" rom which was causing me the above three problems - when upgrading be careful and beware of country code errors - I am no expert but I used the rom upgrade of Hery and reupgraded and am happy with the result. Every time upgrading is a dangerous excersise and if you like me just want a machine that works and not really technically minded - beware of upgrading. I was able to but was nervous the whole way through. They say version 2.06 hangs but its been OK for me. I do not have wizcom on my machine but the only bluetooth I use is the headset and for GPS which work with the microsoft bluetooth protocol.
Good luck
Just recently bought the iPhono mini BT450Rx to use with my SX66 with WM2003SE. Cannot make all features work at the same time. Here's the story. The mp3 players I'm using are WMPlayer and TCPMP
Installed Broadcom stack 3900 I got "hands-free" and "High Quality Audoi" working, but play/pause/stop/Prex/Next buttons on right earphone wouldn't work. Volume buttons do work.
Here I'd like to notice, that I also have Motorola HT820 BT stereo and its perfectly working with this stack with all buttons, receiving calls and so on. The only problem with HT820 I found so far: if I'm listening mp3 and there's an incoming call and I've answered it without pausing mp3 player, then, after end of the phone call I have to disconnect and reconnect BT Audio device in BT Manager. However, if I put mp3 player on pause and pick up the call, then I can just continue listening.
I tried to change the BT driver and found the one from HP for HP BT stereo, (which I also tried initially, but because it doesn't have "hands-free", I returned it and bought Motorola). It was downloaded from HP site, dont have link right now, but the exe filename is SP3003.EXE. The driver's version was 1.6.0700
Having installed this one I got stereo AND buttons working with mp3 player, but "hand-free" stopped working, probably because the driver is intended for the stereo headphones only, not the "hands-free".
Making some researches I realized, that the part that controlls buttons is sitting in the \windows\BTCeAvIf.dll file. So I extracted this file from HP 1.6.0700 driver, reinstalled Broadcom 1.0.3900 stack and replaced the file above. After all this manipulations, I got hansfree working, able to make calls BUT only to the moment when I connect Audio profile. At this moment I can listen mp3s, control, mp3 player with buttons on the iPhono mini, but cannot talk on the phone. However, if I disconnect "HQ Audio" profile in BT manager, the headset profile gets activated again.
This is pretty annoying, knowing, that HT820 works pretty well without all this tweaks.
Can anybody tell me whether I'm doing anything wrong, or if there's better drivers for iPhono, because I coudn't find another solution so far.
One of the good things with iPhono is it has 4 buttons in mp3 player mode play/stop/next/prev vs HT820 with play/next/prev.
The only thing, I cannot quite understand, since the stop button is also power/(make)answer the call button, how this device is going to determine whether I want to stop music or pick up the phone for making or answering call.
Hi there, I read your thread with a lot of interest cause i have the same problems as you. I purchased the BT450Rx too and had them paired with a Prophet, and I'm the same problems. Actualy, FF/REw works for me in WMP10, but not Pkay/Pause & Stop. Did you have any luck making them work?

I'd actually resolved some issues earlier, wth the exception that I was using TCPMP player instead of WMP and still could not answer the phone while listening to the music.
I was able to use all buttons but on some MP3 files, very misteriously they wouldn't work.
Unfortunately my phone got hardreset because of a deep freeze I coudn't take it out from, so I'm gonna need to reinstall BT again and tweak it again to make headphones work.
I actually love them, and have been using them most of the time, about 4 hours every weekday just for music and audiobooks, despite they suck as a phone headset
Anybody using the SE HBH-DS970 bluetooth headset with the Hermes and if so what is your experience?
Thanks
i use that one waht is your wonder?
I wanted to know if everything works fine and if you are happy with the experience (sound quality, responsiveness, etc.).
I tried it briefly at a store and everything seemed to work except when I received a call I could not hear the person talking. It may just be that I needed to do a soft reset but if I know it is working with the Tytn for someone else I will buy it.
Thanks!
No Good.
1. Sound Quality is very poor even with the A2DP hack. Far from my M600i. It's much better with the original usb headset. so I guess maybe Sony Ericsson has a different A2DP encoding implement or have some tricks on the media player?
2. Only the Call Key and Volume keys work. I don't know if there any PPC music player support DS970's music keys.
1. After registry twiks the sound quality is super.. seems even better than native usb headset.. Only one problem I couldn't solve so far.. it is skipping every 40-50 sec. I am using now original rom from o2 germany. I am going to try imate rom or at least new radio rom. Let see, if it helps
2. All keys are working with native Windows Media Player.
I am using it with PocketPlayer. Works fine with every button. Sound quality is super after the hack. But I got the same problem as SWayf, music got skippy every while...
Multipoint Function with PC Headset profile?
Has anyone tried to pair this headset with a Hermes and simultaneously with a PC that supports the bluetooth headset profile so that it is possible to switch from VoIP (eg Skype) and the mobile phone easily?
Following on my previous post, I now have the headset in hand and although I can connect to my PC and phone simultaneously using the multipoint functionality, the PC connection is only for music playback, ie the microphone is disabled, so I cannot use the headset for VoIP calls. The Bluetooth Service Class is listed as "Audio Sink" rather than "Headset". I don't suppose anyone knows of a way to activate the microphone in this mode?

Really regret buying it.. Tried the A2DP tweak with the Hermes Tweaker but no luck. Better soundquality but sound keeps skipping every 30-40 seconds, useless for listening to music... I would got nuts having to listen to those skips that often..
Anyone found any tweak to get rid of the skipping problem?
Buttons works fine for controlling Tytn audio quality is ok and I love the looks of it, if I just could get rid of that skipping..
How sick is this! I found this tip on another forum.
Try installing this taskmanager, start wmp and then the task manager, close any apps you don't need to use and then set it to monitor system load.
http://www.iaccarino.de/silvio/ppcstuff.htm
As long as it's running NO SKIPPING so far, have been listening to three full songs so far....
Which of you gurus can figure this one out??? So it must be possible to fix the problem by emulating what this software does??
Any updates on this?
Considering buying one, but wont if there's no fix to the skipping
I've just bought one of these headsets. God, the sound is atrocious. Can someone please fill me in on the hack that was mentioned earlier? I've got the Fit4cat ap on my Hermes but the sound is still rubbish even after adjusting the the "improve BT A2DP sound quality" setting to "excellent". Is this the hack that was referred to earlier or is there another I am not aware of??? Please, can anyone help with this. I feel I have wasted a serious amount of cash on this

Hi!
Got hermes and ds970 to work (almost) perfectly
I did this, step by step:
-Hard reset hermes (got o2 xda trion with latest htc wwe rom 1.35 radio 1.18)
-installed ms voice command 1.6
-installed beta version from jetware and their hermes fix
(all files can be found here http://www.jetwaremobile.com/beta.htm don't forget to soft-reset after installation of the "code signing certificate")
-installed a2dpfix
-get HTweakC and set a2dp quality to "medium" do not set it any higher, as the sound quality will be better on medium than on e.g. "excellent"
Configure Jetware Software to show CallerID etc...
Working:
-CallerID shows name!! AND number (alternating) everytime
-A2dp quality is quite good (could be better, but definately very usable)
-Voice command quite usable (still rarely switches back to device speaker)
-very stable bluetooth connection
-remote control of windows media player
not working:
-display doesnt show song title, but i guess we'll never get that on a wm5 device...hope i'm wrong.
Wanna thank everyone on the hermes gps thread...keep up the good work!!
so you can stream media player to the headset too as well as controlling VC1.6? Does VC1.6 fire up when pressing headset button?
Hi!
When I'm listening to music, and press the headset button:
-Mediaplayer goes on pause
-after 2-3 seconds I hear the voice command ding-sound and can say my command. Then hear the lady from microsoft ;-) respond (on long responses the sound sometimes switches back to the device speaker such as when the lady asks me what number-entry to dial and there are 5 numbers in the contact.)
-then switches back to playing mediaplayer for about 2 seconds until the phone initiates the call and then pauses mediaplayer again and switches the headset to the call.
-after the call sound again goes to a2dp and the song resumes playing.
Hope it stays that way...I'll be very very carefull what programs I install.
programs I got installed at this point are:
spb diary
prssreader
navigon mobile navigator 5
google maps (the new not java one)
wakeitup
pocketstreets 2005
tcpmp
clearvue pdf
spb gprs monitor
totalcommander
+the ones mentioned in my post above
(all programs, if not mentioned otherwise, are the latest versions)
oh BTW I tried setting a2dp quality to "low". I can't hear the difference to "medium" and think it will be less stress on the cpu.
what does not work, is also that the announciation of new messages from voice command 1.6 when set to "announce only over bluetooth" still come out of the device speaker.
Hope it works for you, too.
excellent. i'll try these settings. thanks for detailed message
got myself a ds970 and followed your instructions Brevi. music streams brilliantly but i can't transfer calls to the headset,make calls from the headset nor can i get VC1.6 to fire up when i press the headset button. if i start VC1.6 on phone, then i can say command on the headset and that works.
Do you install the JetDial app?
What settings did you configure in the Jetware settings?
any ideas?
i have the "new" btagext.dll which fixed VC1.5 and mono headset - do you think that's the issue?
Update: Aha, i uninstalled the JetDial app (stupid or what) and now everything works except starting VC1.6 using the headset button. i suspect, JetDial has left some reg keys that need removing. No idea what though
Hi! Yeah, you probably need to do a hard-reset to get a clean install of all the little "helpers". I'm confident it will work then.
Tell me if you get the "play reminders only over bluetooth handsfree" option in vc1.6 to work maybe with the btagext.dll. I'm away from my main computer for a couple of days and unfortunately can't mess with my phone till I get back.
Hi everyone,
Here is my challange:
I only use bluetooth with my carstereo (kenwood KDC-BT60U).
Everything works perfect, handsfree calling pairing ect. Now here is my problem, I like the BT stereo audio so I can play music from my LEO over my carstereo. BUT I cant get that function to autoconnect everytime I want to use it I have to go true all the menue's to turn it on in my phone. I have searched the reg but as a noob I cant find it.
I hope anyone has the answer to get it working like I want it to. (I have spent hours puzzeling)
P.S. I am on Artimis 22.0B Radio 2.12

Hi Jimi,
I'm starting to think that this is the case with most, if not all head units. I had, until recently, an In Phase IPS247BT head unit and that did exactly the same: automatically connects to the phone's handsfree, but I need to manually connect the stereo audio. I contacted the manufacturer and they said they designed it this way to save battery life on the phone. Some searching around on the internet shows that this is a common issue. On XDA, I found this application which runs in the background on your phone and automatically connects the Bluetooth streaming which it detects the handsfree is connected, but unfortunately, it only works on phones with the Microsoft Bluetooth stack and our HD2s have the Widcomm one. I have been looking into writing a similar program myself for the HD2, but don’t hold your breath over that.
Incidentally, I have been considering purchasing the KDC-BT60U myself – it looks like a nice head unit. However, in the Bluetooth compatibility charts on Kenwood’s website, they state that the head unit cannot automatically connect to the HD2s handsfree and that you need to do that yourself from the phone. Admittedly, they tested this on a 1.43 ROM whereas I’m using the latest 1.66 ROM. What has your experience been?
--Amr
Hey amrbekhit,
I never had that the handsfree didn't connect automatically, as soon as I got my phone I flashed artimis so I dont know what it will be like with a 1.66 rom.
My personal guess is that it will work.
My neighbour has the same phone but its still stock and he has no problem with his pioneer unit.
I am not a programmer but a toggle would be a nice as a second option to activate the BT audio, I'll search for it when I have the time and post my findings here.
One thing that's weird is when you pair the phone for the first time the stereo also autoconnects but after that it almost never happens again...
thanks for your reply,
Jimi
I've just fitted a Kenwood KIV-BT900 to my car and started using BT for the 1st time. I've paired my HD2 with the headunit without any problems for the handsfree side of things but when connected, there's supposed to be an option for BT Audio in the headunit's menu but this never appears and I've no idea how to get any further.
Handsfree calling works fine, HD2 & KIV pair automatically when the KIV powers up.

Hi Major_Sarcasm,
In my Kenwood the option to connect BT audio is in the Phone selection menu
Press the horn, go to Phone selection press "enter", there I have something like choose Phone and beneath that I have select BT audio.
Not sure if the same menu is in your device.
I also can connect from the phone: go to settings (on the far right of sence), press the soft key menu than more and than you can choose BT, than go to go to your paired kenwood and press the "+". From there you can select Stereo Audio and it will connect.
P.S. did you check your supported connections? (*maybe you forgot to check the stereo audio).
Good luck, Jimi
Sounds like my Kenwood is slightly different as the BT Audio option is supposed to appear with all the other sources. Also, there is no Audio option on the phone's BT settings, only the HF. I'm not gonna let it worry me, the important bit works, it just irks me slightly that BT Audio is supposed to be there as an option and isn't...
Thanks for your reply though.
Hello!
My phone shows me the same message when i connect my headset every time i switch it on.
"The connected Bluetooth headset does not support volume control adjustment from the device. Adjust volume on the headset itself"
But there is one more thing. The internal buzzer of the BT headset does not work when someone calls me. Other functions do not work too, i can only answer or terminate a call.
Is there anything i can do for this? I am using stock ROM.
Thank you
It should be some setting in registry to remove annoying message, but for me was best to change ROM for cooked one. Here is no more silly messages like that.
What you mean other functions not working?
Hi mate.
I found solution for you without changing ROM.

Sory for that mess, but it doesnt work for me, I should check i before.
