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.
I've got some Sony Ericsson DS-HBH970 bluetooth headphones which sound pretty good and are great for the convenience of non- cable tanglingness, and control of playback while the phone is in your pocket.
Problem is that I use coreplayer for listening to music on the phone, and when I use the play/pause, or next/previous track control it's doing it on the built in player in Touchflo, and not on coreplayer.
It's incredibly annoying as it means I can't control the player I'm actually using via bluetooth.
Any ideas how to change this?
Many thanks!
Jim
I'm having the same problem.... Does any1 know how to fix that? Thank you
Same issue with Jabra BT3030.
I tried the advanced control plugin features in CorePlayer, for enabling WMP control support .. didn't worked.
Then tried AVRCP Agent (available on XDA, search the forum), which allows you to send command directly to the desired app (WMP, Coreplayer, GsPlayer)... didn't work either. Looks like HTC hardcoded AVRCP support into their player :-(((
I just hope some of the chefs here will comme with a little tweak...
Edit : It works !!! (see below, post #6)
Fingers crossed as this is mega irritating. Frankly I've been astounded at the quality of the audio on my HTC both via sennheisers, and sony ericsson bluetooth cans, but given that I only use coreplayer, and prefer the bluetooth phones for convenience it's a real pita!
Does any WM guru know how to solve that?
Coreplayer working on TOuch HD with BT3030
I tried again tonight, and AVRCP just worked out of the box : play/pause, next, previous fast forwrd (double press)...
It works with Coreplayer in the foreground, or in the background...
I previously used AVRCP agent, but this time it wasn't enabled (maybe it changed some setting somewhere, and it was not meant to be always opened...). I have TFDetached enabled ; I started Coreplayer from the "regular" Today panel, but it still works when switching to TF3D !
If opened Coreplayer before switching on the BT3030 headset (previously paired).
Settings for Coreplayer :
- HTC Windows Media Player Mobile A2DP plugin : on (ticked)
- HTC WMP control plug-in : off (unticked)
Will try to find if that didn't came from another tweaked, but right now I can't think of something else I would have done...
Good luck guys !
Ace! Will try that AVRCP thingy tonight and see if I can get mine to work.
Thanks
Eyaeeya would you be kind and explain to me step by step how did u do that ? Can you post here the version of AVRCP that you use ? NOOB HERE Thank you in advance!
This must sound really dumb but how do I run AVRCP?I got the zip and ran the exe file from it to install it but nothing seems tohave happened.
Sorry for being dense!
Well, I've had AVRCP running for a bit now but I just cannot get it to control Coreplayer by bluetooth instead of the headphones controlling the TF3 player instead.
There must be LOADS of people facing this problem since Coreplayer is near enough a staple application on winmo phones.
What am I doing wrong?
Still no-one?! Surprised by this.
Does no-one use bluetooth + coreplayer besides me and eyaeya?
I'm looking for the same fix too!
has anyone tried to go into coreplayer options(or tools)??? --- I saw somekinda option in plugins "windows media player control" or something like that, see if that helps!!!!

works 100% with Coreplayer
Cheers mate - installed that and rebooted etc but it's still not working with Coreplayer.
It's stopping WMP from using the control but it's just not doing anything with coreplayer.
I've posted on that thread anyway.
Thanks for the link
I've finally given up on CorePlayer. The latest version of Pocket Player 4.1 solves all of my Verizon HTC Touch Pro + Bluetooth problems.
Thanks to Pocket Player 4.1, I now have:
1. Full control of all of the buttons on my Motorola HT820.
2. Lossless flac and ape support.
3. A boost in volume. I set the default equalizer with the pre-amp at its maximum. With a press of a button on the headset, I can boost volume so that it is suitable for freeway speeds.
4. A persistent current playlist.
Goodbye CorePlayer. Don't let the door hit you where the good lord split you.
did anyone ever make progress on this? I need coreplayer for the .mp4 video functionality. I cant find any other player that play is (TCPMP is to laggy).
I have searched the past threads and did not see any about bluetooth audio issue. I have 2 plantronics headsets that both Paired properly paired 2XXPlantronics and a 220Plantronics. I am on stock GB. Is there an app or setting that I am missing to push all audio through the bluetooth? I tried super Mono but that just stopped audiop playback on my X2 and did not give me any audio through my headset. I have tried with both headsets. Thanks in advance. I think after some review this is a gingerbread issue but with all the developers hear I am hoping there is a fix or some can come up with a fix.
The headsets must support media audio in addition to phone audio. This has been the case since day one. If your headset only supports phone audio, it won't for example pay music. Don't know if anyone has tried tweaking the bluetooth stack to get around this, but the limitation has existed since before smartphones came around.
Related Q
Anyone got the (stock) fm radio to go over BT?
I use a Plantronics 3XX. On my old HTC Touch Pro II, I could play music thru it with a particular setting in WM 6.5 and I think even WM 6.1 had it too. My thoughts are that it's more an Android issue regarding routing.
[EDIT] - I found on Market an app called Bluetooth Switcher for $2.99 that might work. There is also a FREE trial version for you to try out before making a purchase to see if it works on your hardware.
Bluetooth Switcher trial
Just tried it. Opens and has on/off buttons. It does nothing.
I use a Plantronics pro+.
Yes my headsets have worked with an HTC Imagio (Windows modile 6.5) and on my Dell laptop. I am thinking it is an android issue as well. I tried a friends out whos earpiece had A2DP and it worked fine but I already have a bluetooth headset and do not want to spend any more money. Thanks for all of your responses thus far.

Iirc you must have a regular 3.5 mm jack in to listen to the radio.

You have to have a headset plugged into it because it uses the cord as an antenna. No internal antenna. My Sansa MP3 player's FM radio works the same way.
Now, you can use the speaker on the phone for the radio once you have a headset plugged in. So maybe there's a way to route it thru BT if you have a headset for an antenna.
There is an apk called media switch (pro). It may work but mkt says incompatable w/ dx2. I tried the email purchase but it failed. Mkt does not know what works on MY dx2 as it also said spb shell 3d was incomp. But it works *****great-****. I had to do the email buy.
Hi,
Does anyone know how to enable the change track buttons?! I´m using a Jabra BT3030 and it´s working fine to adjust volume in spotify but i cannot change track...
I'm using Sennheiser bluetooth headphones and didn't change any setting to be able to change track, worked out of the box, but with the default player. I know that doesn't help you a lot; does your Jabra work ok with other devices; possibly it's a Spotify problem?

Yes, i was anle to do it on iPhone and android without any problems. But i found the issue now. I´m able to change track in the built in music app but not in Spotify...so it´s a spotify issue.
As for cabled headphones, what about pressing play button twice or three times? (twice makes it next track, three times makes it previous one). If this works it might be that WP doesn't recognize the other buttons on your headset. I'm just improvising, as a matter of fact I don't know anything about this stuff.

Actually that works with cabled...will test this later with my Jabra headset...but it´s kinda anoying that i cannot use the forward and back button on the headset when using spotify. It works in the built in app so i´m sure Spotify will sort it out in future updates.
