My bluetooth volume is really low on the headset, anyone else have this problem? Im using the Jawbone bluetooth headset on Dutty's v3 rom on my att tilt. Ive tried different roms, adjusting the volume to highest on the phone and the headset but callers are still hard to hear. Ive used the same bluetooth headset on my previous 8525 with no problems. My headset was even too loud when on high with the 8525. Any advice would be great because i do all my talking via bluetooth with my phone.
Yes, everyone has this problem - although I heard something about AT&T's latest ROM having some fix for the BT, but wasn't sure exactly what it fixed...
FIX?
Well if the problem was fixed either buy a chief here or htc or whomever, there should be a cab file floating around with the fix. thats what im hoping for or maybe a registry edit to help fix the problem. Ive read many threads on how the bluetooth volume suck for cars as well. Maybe if theres a fix for that, the same fix should fix my problem and many other's.

Yeah as a matter of fact you can take this into your own hands. The latest AT&T ROM has a file called "AudioPara4-CWS_V6.csv" which I cooked into my new ROM (releasing tomorrow morning) as well. The thing is you don't need to "COOK" it at all. And it is simply a comma delimited spreadsheet. I have attached it so you can download it. Simply edit it as necessary for your headset, drop it in \Windows and add the following registry key to your device:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev]
"AcousticFile"="\Windows\AudioPara4-CWS_V6.csv"
Drop and Go?
So i just drop the unzip file u provided into my documents and edit the registry myself as u described? Sounds easy enough if thats all it takes. Whats the name of the rom u are releasing? Ill have to give it a try.
?
DARN! When i downloaded the file on my tilt and tried to open it i get the usual zip error of cant find the archive file crap. Guess ill have to wait to get home from work to try it on my computer.

If you're using File Explorer select "Show All Files"...sorry I zipped it directly from my ROM and it has the hidden and system attributes set. Even on a Windows machine you will need to enable hidden files AND Protected OS files to be able to see it. And put it in \Windows.
Nope
Even after i check show all files on file explorer, then click on the zip file, get the same zip error when i try to open it.

Im having trouble trying to follow your instructions. Every time I unzip it, I can't seem to find it. Am I missing something?

Exactly, glad im not the only one that cant unzip this file. sounds like we just need to place a couple files in my documents then edit the reg. This might sound dumb but can u just upload the files a la carte that need to go to the my documents folder instead of making it a zip file? A cab that installs by putting these files and edits the reg would be too good to be true. Anyone up for the challenge?

Make sure you have hidden system files unchecked in Windows?
If you using Vista go to tools in any folder. Click on folder options.
go the view tab.
uncheck "hide protected operating system files"
XP should work the same way as well. This solved it for me.
Adding Registry Key

Yes, you are totally off as AcousticFile is a String, not key.
Try the Cab I attached.
Anyone found this key w/ the cvs file really help anything as I don't see any problem w/ the current BT so far???

Thanks for the .cab
I was wondering if you could provide me with a screen show of what it should look like so I will know for future reference.
Thanks,
EDIT: Am I getting closer?
Whats this cab do?
Thanks for the cab file but whats it supposed to do? I installed the cab to the device then soft reset the phone. I then talked via bluetooth headset for 20 minutes after reset and the low volume was still there. Almost seemed the cab did nothing more then take up 16kb of memory on the phone. Didn't address the low volume problem in the bluetooth headset. It must be something with the phone because i know this headset gets very loud becuase ive used it on several devices and all being consistant except the tilt. Any other suggetions to fix this problem anyone?
you can try this:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway
Tell me what yours say for the "SpkVolume" setting ??
also...
I got this tip from somewhere before ... see if this help you ... it's for the BT handset mic volume ... but within those keys ... there should be one for the speaker volume as well ( you have to search for YOUR device ... as everyone's is different ):
quote:
""
Navigate to
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Device
Under this you would find several keys. Each key represents a device you are paired with. In my case I have only 2 keys since my PDA is paired only with 2 devices (my notebook, and my handsfree) Then navigate to the handsfree key, so mine reads like this.
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\Device\000c55401c45\Services\0000111e-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb
You would find a dword called name, verify that the value corresponds Hands Free
Change the channel to 5 (my default was 2) 5 seems to work better with Motorolla H500.""
goodluck
Bump for some more info.
If you search the forum you will find a few posts on this subject. I have been searching through them just about every day and I have had no luck in finding an answer. Seems editing the registry doesnt help and the BT fix cab was released by HTC to fix bluetooth headsets dropping calls. I have tried the fix and I have tried using Jetware, I have not tried the registry fixes because many others have tried and said it doesnt work. Ive been through 4 headsets and non have good volume. I am still waiting on someone to find a working solution or a reasonably priced headset (below $100 thats non-stereo) that works. I think you may be stuck for a while like so many others....
Man, that sucks. I never get dropped calls on from using bluetooth, only when the phone drops the calls from ****ty att service. Guess thats why the cab didnt help out with increased volume. i did tons of searching beforestarting this thread and like u found nothing so i decided to post and see what happens. Quentin stated above he fixed the problem in his latest rom released today, 1/14/08, so i guess ima have to try his rom out to see if it helps. i really dont want to leave dutty's 1.1 rom cus of opera 8.65 and his great features cooked in. i love how dutty has the battery status under htc home with the exact percentage of battery life. anyone have a cab for that feature dutty cooks into his roms? thanks!

U don't have to limit what rom to use to have this so called BT volume fix (which I am not sure if it really working or not), just use the cab I package above.
For that battery status today plugin, you can find it here too: http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_BatteryStatus_XDA_Neo_WM5_iM_cs.htm
edit: I just noticed you are using Dutty's 1.1 rom. U can try my rom here which based on his 1.1 rom but w/ a few enhancement: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357490
Guys....
I am not aware there is infra-red hardware on the Kaiser/HTC8925! I do not see there is a need to have "Beam" in the Comm Manager window. If I am missing something please let me know, or better yet substitute it with EdgeData on/off.
Thanks and gratitude to all the cooks that are sharing their work with us all.
i too am wondering that
i thought beam was for transport of files via bluetooth??? i beam files to my friends phone...dunno

NO.. Beam is a feature of Infra-Red hardware as in the HTC8525 / TyTn. It is used to transport files between two devices that have such hardware when placed close together. I can not say it is a faster method than BlueTooth, but it is more secure, as blue tooth integrity can be compromised. The Kaiser/HTC8925 does NOT have it.
Yep agree with above post, However, oddly in the case of the Kaiser the Beam icon will actualy start a send file or recieve file by means of BlueTooth.
To copy files (ringtones) to cell phone (Nokia 6280) I connected via Bluetooth and used the "Beam" to transfer it...
There's no IR, like others mentioned, it's related to BT in this case although it's a a bad choice of words.
Am I talking Urdu.... ?? or Swaheely..??
Are you all guys missing the point or it is just me????
I am not talking about the function of the "Beam". I am talking about the existence of the button "Beam" in Comm Manager, next to BlueTooth. So quit telling me your use of the "beam" while we all know clicking it on or off has no function, since transferring files via BlueTooth can be done with BlueTooth on alone.
i dont have it so....yeah

You CANNOT recieve bluetooth "beamed" contacts from standard (i.e. non-smart) mobiles while BEAM is off in the Comm Manager, it basically enables the bluetooth spec that allows it, sort of like a security option. This lets you have BT on for your headset ect. but "protects" you from recieving items like contacts sent from nearby bt devices.
Also no need to get angry at people replying, you asked for info and people were just letting you know what it sounded like you were asking originally.

Thank you... However the above mentioned "Security" can be easily achieved by changing the BT settings, so again there is no need to have the "Beam" in some comm manager plug-ins.
And..... I am not angry....

It really depends on the ROM you are using or CAB file since they put it in. The stock HTC ROM didn't have that as an option. You can change it if you like via registry to another function.
Actually, here's the low-down. From WM5 onwards, even in the old TyTN, bluetooth couldn't receive files(not sure of sending) without the beam option on. Try turning BT on, Beam off, and receiving a file. Personally, I just keep it at on, and then I changed the option.

Hi dude
It's right, there isn't IR (and "Beam" refer to it) on the Kaiser, but as some other one already said, there isn't the Beam button in the original HTC Comm Manager, so, maybe you are using an other Comm Manager with this option enabled (useful for other devices)!
Personally, i also got the Beam Button when install the Schap's CommManager and i removed it using Advanced configuration tools app (remove/customise all the buttons in th "Comm Manager" tab) and with this one you can add the 3G/GPRS button (turn it on/off), but no others like EDGE or HSDPA untill now (if you check any Comm Manager with these new one let me know too, )!
Hope to help you!
Ciao

Dutty has it removed in his V4 DTouch ROM. He substituted it with Data on/off.
To add or remove the beam in Comm Manager, you could access the registry or install Schaps Advanced Config. tool. After installation, click Menu, Comm Manager Settings, Check or un-check the icons of your choice.
Thanks to @[email protected] for pointing that out. I just loaded Schaps Adv. Configurator and got it handled.

Not at all dude!
I already had the Data Button in the Default and Schaps Comm Managers, but not the 3G (...and Voip Button too) in the Default, anyway, can you explain me something?
Turning off the Data button i close all the data connections (GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA, and maybe UMTS too), right? and turing off the 3G, are the EDGE, HSDPA and UMTS connections still opened or not (as result)? ...for this i was talking about different Buttons for EDGE or HSDPA in the Comm Manager!!
Sorry in advance if it's a stupid question?
Thx

I want to take a shot at answering your question, although I do not fully understand the question. When you shut down Data Exchange through Edge, that's all you shut down. 3G and HSDPA through GPRS still function. Edge is a stand alone secure data transfer protocol. If you shut down 3G, then only Edge is up. If your service provider offers full edge service, you can surf the internet with Edge alone as in the case of AT&T MediaNet package.
I hope I answered your question correctly.
"Beam" is a must for accepting files via Bluetooth!!!
As to the original question, of wheteher or not "beam" is needed in the kaiser com manager, I personally like the the idea. Reason is (as stated previously in this post), if the "recieve all incoming beams" box is unticked in start-settings-connections-beam , then you CAN NOT accept any incoming data (ie- vcard/contact/ringtone/files/etc...) via bluetooth. As also stated before, you can have your bluetooth on and operational with a headset or what have you, but then any time you need to accept a file/etc from your pc or a friend's phone, you MUST turn on "beam": and that covers bluetooth "beams" or ir "beams" alike. It is a bit mis-leading in a way I guess to some, but it is nice to be able to just press your comm mgr button and click beam/bluetooth to accept a file on the go, as opposed to going into connections and enabling it all. Well, I hope this was useful info to the original question.
In addition, all previous devices with beam AND bluetooth also worked this way. The tytn, apache, and all the other variants running wm5/wm6 have all needed the "receive all incoming beams" checked when receiving data over bt or ir. As I said before, it only seems misleading to folks who are used to having a beam option with an ir equipped device, but the kaiser/tilt still needs the beam option for bluetooth beams.
Does anyone know how to change the bluetooth name of the phone without installing a different ROM?
Im using kaiser tweak at the moment but it doesnt have an option to rename bluetooth...
Thanks!
start, settings, system tab, about, device ID tab. Looks like there are some other options for you. It's a real shame that you wasted your time waiting on someone to reply to your question. If you would have searched the words "change bluetooth name" you would have found.

I like that verb
If you don't want to pay for a registry editor, here is a highly known one that works great with the Diamond.
yeah I am new to this too so I DL that and all it to my phone and then what?
run the .cab from your device. find it with file explorer.
After it's installed, you have to find the string that you want to edit. Be sure to do a power cycle after you have edited the registry so that things stay inscribed.

yeah you can, use the mp3 trimmer to cut your mp3 to about 30 sec and then save it to your ringtones.
FOund it! but...

and...
can we set a specific ringtone for a particular contacts or groups? if so, how can we make a group contacts, i.e, work, golf etc etc
Hi!I would like to know if X1 has the capability of sending multiple files(pictures,etc.) using bluetooth?Thanks a bunch..

OK. Easiest way is to click and hold on an item in the file explorer. Wait for the menu to pop up and choose "beam file". You will be forwarded to a screen where you can choose to send a file to any device that is in range.
If you want to receive a file via bluetooth go to .... start - settings - connections - bluetooth. From there you can turn it on or off.
Cheers.
How do I send MULTIPLE files with this?
You need Resco Explorer to do this.
Or free Total Commander...
