[Q] how do you play music or video audio via bluetooth - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a UK T-Mobile HD2, is it possibe to play audio through my bluetooth headset. I have a Invisio G5 headset which works fine to make phone calls.
I just can't see which setting I have to change/select to play music via it.
Thanks for any help you can offer.

Your invisio G5 bluetooth headset does not support A2DP. You can't stream music into it other than making calls out of it!

If you absolutely must stream your music through to your mono bluetooth headset....

Don't expect anything quality-wise. it's going to be like listening a badly tape-recorded version of your music/movie
You're better off buying a pair of stereo bluetooth headphones that does support A2DP

Thanks Guys!
Thats what I'd feared. I may give the link a try, it's mainly so I can watch core player while at my desk at work without people seeing what i'm up to . stereo headphones would be nice but for to obvious.
thanks again!!!

Now to have another pop at t-mob UK about not releasing the latest rom!

BT Headphones Finally Working!

I've spent many a frustrated hour trying to find a way to use my Bluetake I-Phono bluetooth headphones without that damn dongle and at long last, I've found a solution!
"Simply" install the WM2003SE upgrade by toenailed/xda2jojo (which is pretty bloomin impressive, BTW) and then install the HP iPAQ Bluetooth Stereo Headphones Driver Update.
This adds a "High Quality Audio setup" option to the Broadcom bluetooth implementation within the WM2003SE upgrade. Not quite A2DP but pretty damn close. Fidelity, volume, bass are pretty good, particularly considering its a wireless connection, but there are occasional "pops" and "squeaks" to contend with. The connection is so sensitive that I'm having to maintain line-of-sight between my XDAII and the right-hand (BT connected) side of the headphones. I can move several yards away but only as long as I keep the LOS, otherwise the connection degrades significantly.
It's far from perfect but its not a bad compromise until someone cracks A2DP on the XDA (something which I would happily pay £50 to achieve, if any interested party is listening).
Cheers,
Ged.
Headset Update
I've been playing around with bluetooth headset settings and I can't make it work under either BT stack.
BLUETOOTH HEADSET
Hi there mate I have V3 BTHS I tried using broadcom plus the upgrade but its not working...not sure though if I configure it correctly ...When i checked the connection on the bluetooth MAnager/Active Connection it shows an Icon in the Outgoing Connection and it is connected but i dont hear any sounds on my bt headset. What could be the problem? BTW my BT works on the orig bluetooth progy but only on the calls not in music players and sound notification. Hope you can help me. Thanks
As I understand it, you can use a BT headset for calls or BT headphones for music, but not both. My headphones are supposed to work in headset mode but they don't... for the moment at least.
Sorry I can't help further mate.
I understand "High Quality Audio setup" is A2DP. There is nothing more to achieve.
Surur
Okay I have the Bluetake i-PHONO on order. Can someone please tell me if it's possible to use them as stereo headphones and a headset at the same time? When you add the Bluetake to your BT setup as high-quality audio, can you add it at the same time as a BT headset? Does it show up as two icons in the BT manager? The Bluetake is supposed to automatically switch between A2DP and headset/handsfree profile... What I want is to be listening to music using media player over A2DP, then hit the button on the Bluetake and pick up a call. Isn't this the way it's supposed to work?
BLUETOOTH HEADSET
oh ok now it makes sense hehe. thanks PinkySlayer. Iphono is bit expensive though its almost a price of a mini ipod...
Expensive they may be, MTX, but I HATE cables, and what's the point in carrying around an MP3 player when you already have one in the form of an XDA (albeit with a few 1GB SD cards in tow)!? I'm working towards a personal nirvana of "single music source, multiple outputs"; I have an FM transmitter wired up to my GPS enabled car cradle so both my WMA and TomTom audio come out of my car speakers; I have wireless Sennheiser headphones for the house and now and now I have wireless BT headphones for mobile use.
I didn't think that was the case, surur. It certainly isn't in practican terms in that the Bluetake phones work great with their own BT dongle (which truly supports A2DP) but with the "High Quality Audio setup", things arn't so rosy.
That's what the Bluetake phones are designed to do, trhuseby, but I think the only way to achieve that at the moment is to use the BT dongle for music playback and then connect your XDA direct to the phones in headset mode. I believe that the phones would then automatically swap from music playback to headset mode when a call comes in, but you have to use that bloody dongle.
The settings for "High Quality Audio setup" do allow the (de)selection of both audio and headset connections but alas, this does not make it work.
BT HEADPHONE
yeah i hear you Pinkyslayer...I really like to have a bt headphone i'm just looking for a cheaper headphone. i was thinking on buying a HP or Toshiba headphones

Can't see why not.

Hearing Music via Bluetooth and Car handsfree set

Hi all,
I have on question. My Car is a Audi A4 from 2004 and a used the in car hands free for telefon calls. My question now is, is it possible to hear music from the Touch HD musicplayer through BT of my car hands free set? Is there a software available that let the car hands free set think that the music is a phone call
I hope my question is clear to understand.
Thx
BT Audio should do the trick, i used it with my Kaiser and it worked great

Your Audi probably doesn't support A2DP (aka Stereo Bluetooth). You'll probably need to plug something in to make this work.

Thanks! This really works. I've just used it in combination with my parrot. The only problem is that the sound quality is really awful..
Hi Jammy. I'm really glad to hear it works. (I wrote BTAudio)
The reason the sound quality is awful is that it makes use of the "Audio Gateway" service, which is only intended for voice quality audio. Every mono bluetooth earpiece I've seen makes use of the Headset/Handsfree bluetooth profile, which only supports basic Audio Gateway sound.
It's just an essential limitation of the hardware.
To hear good quality, your car or car kit would have to support the A2DP profile, in which case you would not need any additional software, as long as your phone has that profile enabled, and you can successfully register your car to use that service on your phone.

Is this headset compatible with voice dialing? I use microsoft voice control.
Thanks
Why not get some well known branded headsets like motorola s9, that comes close to the price range as well...
i dont like the headsets. i want something that can clip on my shirt, control the hd media player and plug any headphones into.
cheers
Calypso SP
Hi,
I first had the Motorola S9 which were nice, but too much bass, and after some time they completely fell apart
Now I bought the Calypso SP and they work just fine. They support Bluetooth 2.0, so you don't have those annoying pauses if the phone is not exactly behind your back, and the sound is great.
They look a bit like Princess Leia's haircut though

I've got sony ericsson HBH-DS970 and they're really excellent.
They will control next/previous track etc in the built in touchflo player but I cannot find out how to make them control Coreplayer instead. I hate the built in player and use Coreplayer for almost everything, but I've had to stop using these headphones because I can't control the tracks with them sadly. Really gutted about it.
I've got Sennheiser CX500s which sound great, but the track control & untangled wires of the bluetooth set was brilliant, and the sound was very good too.
Anyone know a decent bluetooth earbud set that works to control Coreplayer? Or a way I can fix this problem as it really sucks.
do the controls work with windows media player?

[Q] Plantronics 240 (Audio?)

I have this Plantronics Explorer 240, that I have synced to Streak (2.2.2).
When I am playing games, I cannot hear the audio through the BT headset.
Even the notifications are not heard through the headset.
but, when I am on a call, and I play games, or get a sms>
I get to hear all the audio through the headset!
Is this a bug or what?
Or, is there a way, that I can source all the sounds to my headset (all the time, not just during the call)?
Explorer 240 is not A2DP, right?
thanks,
Sony.
Navigation or music?
Navigation (voice) or music:
can I get any of this on my Plantronics 240?
Please help - I have a trip planned next weekend! and I need either OR (both )
Thanks,
Sony.
All:
Help please!
Kind people of Streakville
You won't get media audio from a BT headset without the A2DP profile. You need a headset that supports this. When you get game audio while in a call it isn't working properly, the audio from your music player or game app should mute when you get a call.

Yes, agree about the A2DP part,
but, I am taking a different clue from this-
The game media if it is playing over my BT Headset - we can do something to get it doing that other times too!
can you (others) confirm what happens in similar case on your non-A2DP BT headsets?
Thanks,
Sony.
There's an app that will do it... called Super BT Mono Froyo I think iswhat its called that will solve your problems.... I didn't use it for long because I soon bought an A2DP headset

[Q] A2DP Bkuetooth music Transmision issues

Hi all,
First of all sorry for me English,
My question is, somebody here is using bluetooth connection to listen music? I get this table some weeks ago, and music quality is so poor. I had one IPAD 1 and I always use this way to listen music, I had no issues with IPAD and my A2DP receptor. This problem could be generated by hard or by soft? Do you know if we can get some bluetooth app to improve this situation?
Best regards and thanks in advance for your help
Issues
I agree the stock speakers are not that great. However most of the time I have listened to music/movies I have used my headphones.
I don't plan on using this for music much as I have an MP3 player for that, but mostly plan on watching movies.
I downloaded and use an equalizer app that helps out a lot.

Maybe, I didn't do me question correctly.
I'm using my tablet to listen music from Spotify, like integrated speakers has so poor quality, I used me Hi-Fi speakers connected to a Bluetooth receiver with A2DP profile. Before I used this way to listen music with me IPAD without any kind of issue, now with me tablet S bluetooth conection are no so goog. due to that I'm lookin for an app to improve me bluetooth connection.
oh, misunderstood

I actually don't own any Bluetooth audio devices.
This might help, but without a bluetooth audio device I really don't know.
