Blue Angel - A2DP Bluetooth

Hi all
I have got Blue Angel:
ROM: 1.42.00 WWE
Radio: 1.13.00
BT: 3900
Last week I upgraded to the T-Movbile 1.42 Rom. I then installed the A2DP profile patch and was amazed that my Omiz OMS600 headphones were actually working using the high quality audio profile, and they were working very well.
The other day I did a hard reset to sort out a few things and left it at that. Later on when I came to reinstall my A2DP it wasn't working, nor was using the headphones as just a normal headset. I tried all sorts, including downgrading my ROM because at that point I was wondering whether or not it was actually on a previous version that I had it working.
Anyway... eventually I decided it was the headphones that had an error so emailed Omiz who were very helpful and sent me the download for their firmware flashing utility. This upgraded the ROM of my headphones from 1.06 to 1.25. I can now pair my headphones as a headset but not as High Quality Audio. I can get it to add a High Quality Audio shortcut in BT manager but when it trys to connect it says: "connection failed". Before it was also saying "service unavailable on device" or somthing similar.
Any assistance would be good.
Thanks a lot.

Can you, please, tell me where to find this patch?
Someone knows if it works for wm5??
Thanks!

A2DP & WM5
Hi there,
I got the patch from: ftp://xda:[email protected] Upgrades/BT profiles for build 3500/
But I'm not sure if it will work on WM5, I think I have read that it will not, this is my main reason for not moving to WM5 yet... although at the moment while i can't get A2DP working I am not much better off.
How are you finding WM5? Is it reliable enough to compete with WM2003 yet, or is there still a bit of work needed?

It doesn't work under WM5. WM5 has a Microsoft bluetooth stack, this patch does not apply.
WM5 on the BA is quite stable if you have the time to work with it. I am not going back. If somebody comes up with a BT fix for the stand-by problem that does not drain the battery, all of my issues will be fixed.

A2DP on WM5
Thanks for that... I might consider upgrading one evening when I have nothing better to do!
Do you rekon we'll ever see A2DP on the MS bluetooth stack?

Yeah I think so. Apparently it's not out in the wild yet, but w/ BT 1.2, a lot of people will be looking to do more with it.

Did you mean: "the mamaich rom has microsoft bluetooth stack". I really hope we can get WM5 with the same stack I had on w2003. (Broadcom, I think). Maybe it is out there but I can't see it...

I agree. By the moment, I'm very pleased with the performance of WM5 on my BA. It actually runs faster than w2003! And I'm beeing very objective, believe me!
I'm having a big annoyance with writting (sms, word, etc) as the spelling isn't allways what I wrote. On the SMS window, it seems the screen gets redrawn all the time and it loose some words...
The other big is not having A2DP. I think is very frustrating having such a nice machine without a good software that makes all its goodness work! :?
Some delayings on the screen repainting and (I'm using Pocket Informant) slow performance on the everyday tasks as opening the contacts list, or changing toanother program, for example...

What do you mean? To have the BT on a low-power mode more or less?

looking 4 answers: ad2p & bluetooth & wm5
somebody with an answer to this theme?
WAS: ad2p & bluetooth & wm5
It is somehow possible?
Anybody there? :roll:

Answer is no, not possible yet.
And to the poster above - yes, just need the bluetooth connect issue solved where it drops connection when it goes into stand-by mode. The fix that drains the battery by keeping the unit out of standby mode really isn't a fix for me.
Not that I am complaining - I'm happy to be an early adopter along for the ride..

How do I enable A2DP on my BA??
Hello!!
I have searched the forum many many times and visited wiki, but I could only find 2 threads which is close to what I need to know. This is 1 of them.
I have got Blue Angel:
ROM: 1.40.00 WWE
Radio: 1.12.00
BT: 3900
This configuration came from the recently rom upgrade from o2.
It seems to me that it's possible to enable A2DP on a BA running on WM2003 SE, which allows me to stream music to a bt headphones??
However I just could not find a thread which has an instruction on how to do it. Not even on wiki. After reading some threads, I came to my own conclusion that I need to upgrade me BT to build 3900 and install a patch??
So this was what I did,
Since my BT is already 3900 "offical" version, thus I didn't do anything to it.
I d/l this file BA_OEM_AudioGW (1.33g.00).CAB (83KB) and ran it on my PPC. I then got the audiogw.dll in my windows folder.
That was all I did. It didn't work of course. I have another file, BroadcomCorp_BT1.0.0.3900.cab but didn't use it as I'm already on 3900??
So I was just hoping that someone who has done it and was successful, could point me in the right direction!!! Thanks a lot!!!

anyone tried running both cab loacted at
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/BlueAn...age BT 1.0.0.3900 and audiogw.dll - 1.33g.00/
if it works, do let me know. I currently do not have a bluetooth headphones to test with.

I have Omiz headset (with MP3 and radio FM) and due to work with my Magician I had to manually change some registry entries. Point was that my PDA was not correctly identified as a A2DP device (only HF). I paired my PDA with normal BT dongle with A2DP profile, found registry entries with dongle mac adress and copied manually keys coressponding with a2dp service to folder with my headphones profiles. After all that it was possible to chose headphopnes in BT menager as stereo audio receiver.
Maybe its similar and u should look in registry...

jarekt, can you post those registryvalues please?!

Can't get streaming audio to BT headphones
I still have had no luck with the BA_OEM_AudioGW (1.33g 00) Cab or any registry settings under WM5.

BT a2dp WM5
have you tried the file (.cab) i uploaded in BlueAngel under uploads, it let me pair BT Stereo under wm5. Nevermind I looked someone deleted it dont know why. PM me and i can send if you want, I tried to reupload but Uploads appears broken.

I am on thesame situation of errorist.
My machine is on Broadcom 3900, and I want to make A2DP work.
If anyone can shed a light on how to make it work, I'd be very very grateful.
BTW, I have a Motorola HT820.
UPDATE:
I have installed the 3900 stack + audiogw dll even though I had a factory-installed 3900 stack, and I managed to connect in handsfree mode.
I still have not found out how to connect in A2DP mode though...
Any help is appreciated.

Hi All
I dont know how useful this is going to be, but i spent ages doing research to get my ht820 and my 02 xda 2s working properly, and when i did, i wrote a semi bad guide here
http://www.corecodec.com/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=29&expv=0&topic=2840.0
if its any use i'd be tempted to maybe write it up proper and put in in the wiki, either way, try some of the steps or files ive listed (most of them are from here)
but it gets it working with TCPMP aswell, which is a lot better than WM10 anyhow
good luck

BTW: ivans rom uses the broadcom stack, so the patch may work, however i dont have the headphones to test it with

i've onstalled this two cabs too, but new profile didn't appeared. Bay Be some registry values didn't appied? who did this patch?

Bluetooth stack with A2DP stack

Guys,
Where can i get a bluetooth stack that have A2DP stack on it so that i can use it on my stereo bluetooth headset for audio....

Try this
ftp://xda:[email protected] 3500/Broadcom Corporation BT-PPC AV.cab
In combinbation with bt 1.0.0.3900
ftp://xda:[email protected] Upgrades/BroadcomCorp_BT1.0.0.3900.cab
Works fine on my pda.

I tried the first cab and it broke my today screen! The wallpaper is black behind PocketBreeze and scrambled behind iLauncher. Weird. Soft reset doesn't help.
I already had BT 3900 so I didn't use the second cab.
Oh wait, today screen problem solved! I switched wallpapers and then switched back to the original, it's fine now. I'll submit this post anyway for reference if it happens to someone else.
Anyway, the A2DP profile is there all right, so thanks Vastloper!

thanks. but the link seems not working....

my fault
it works now

I tried the 1st link, but it made no difference.
how to check if I managed to have a2dp profiles on my sx66?

In Bluetooth Manager, select "new connection". There should be a new option in the list called "High quality audio". Use that to connect to your headset.
Did you download the .cab file and run it on your device? You have to download it, copy it to your pocket pc and run it by tapping on it in file manager. If you did all this and still don't have the High quality audio option, I have no idea what could be wrong.
By the way, once you've managed to install the patch: if you have a ROM version with Windows Media Player 10, you may want to read this thread.

It worked perfectly, in my configuration menu, i have the high quality option.

Anyone had trouble actually making an A2DP connection work with these mods?
The A2DP profile is there, and seems to have all the right stuffs, but actually making it connect to my earphones (sony DR-BT20NX) is proving an issue.
Thus far ive only managed a normal HSP hands free style connection.
Such a waste.

Nothing but "connection error" (Have'nt tried your HSP connection, though)

Awesome!
Thanks, this worked like a charm although I did have to perform a Hard Reset first. I can now listen to stereo sound through my Oakley O Rokr sunglasses and use my hands-free headset.

I downloaded and installed
ftp://xda:[email protected] 3500/Broadcom Corporation BT-PPC AV.cab
which gives me the High Quality Audio profile. However, I only get sound when playing music through Media Player. All other sounds (system sounds, telephone, sounds from games) are muted. Am I doing anything wrong?

Any help? NEWER - BETTER A2DP update?

ok so i have an htc p4000 and i recently bought a scosche bluetooth receiver kit and i'm able to produce some sound but its not high quality. i checked and my phone does support the A2DP service but it sound like my device is outputting sound for headphones and not normal speakers. i used both the cabs you put on here and they are functioning but it says that my bluetooth is off in it. my dad has an ipaq and the bluetooth manager on his phone seems to pick up my scocshe perfectly and is perfectly able to play. anybody know where i can find that bluetooth manager? thanks for the help if you can help

Hope this help:

BA WM5 Broadcom 1.7.1 Build 3400 Stack (Test)

BA WM5 Broadcom 1.7.1 Build 3400 Stack (Test)
This is just some test of mine to hv option with BT stack (MS/Broadcom), I only spend the last 3 hour workin on this little project, so it really possible if anything is missing or I forgotin something (its happens to me right?..lol), but I've test it and it work like it should (With My v1.3 ROM), I dont know if this test hv a bug. maybe we can test it, especially A2DP and stabilty issues with this test.
Tested operation:
1. Activesync
2. Send/Recieve File
3. Headset via computer
4. Network Access
5. BT Serial Port
6. Dial-up Networking
Known Issue:
U tell me, not tested so much.
Instalation:
1. Install the HELMI_BA_WM5_BT1.7_TEST.CAB then soft reset
Uninstall (note the step its really neccesary, or u'll endup mess with ur phone):
1. Install Enable_MS_BT_.CAB
2. Delete registry value (or the folder)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WIDCOMM]
and delete "Redirect" key on:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Bluetooth]
"Redirect"="BTConnManagerCE.exe"
3. Reset
4. Uninstall HELMI_BA_WM5_BT1.7_TEST.
5. Delete file from \Temp dir
EDIT:
I forgot to mention, after u run ENABLE_MS_BT.CAB the Broadcomm/Widcomm file will be move to \Temp folder so u can delete it safely...
Dont expect to be perfect on this release, cos its only on earlier stage, to early, hopes someone might help for improvement, and workin together with me, and I hopes some1 can make a better Install/Uninstall process.
Dont install/try if u dont know what ur doin, and backup your data is a must.
Input is always welcome. cos I believe there's still much things to do.
Thanks for http://www.aximsite.com site and everybody there for the BT file.

and also thanks -=xXx=- for the info where to find it. thanks man.

gonna test it now helmi_c
thanks

Just intalled. The stereo works fine! Great quality for me! The hands free seems to be a bit tempremental. Worked once and then stopped afet receiving one call.. WIll try it out again..It looks like am stuck with an either. One observation: with the ms stack, there was a headphoen icon while using the phone. is absent here...wonder if that was a ms stack function?
deepak

helmi_c,
hmm weird, after i installed the new wildcom stack, my pda cant see my headset anymore.
still testing though.
wish me luck.
imatrix

I believe u guys both hv problem with MS Stack, hopes this stack will help for who having problem with MS Stack, but remember this is just some sort test, maybe still need a lot of improvement. but its seems work good with deepakr who hv problem with MS, imatrix hopes u'll hv the same result like he does. good luck.
btw In the rar there's a BTspeed cab, it might help for some headset, post on the Axim forum sites... there's also another app for controlin power if i'm not mistaken, I'll post when i get back.
A little note, this stack sometimes wakeup if gsm signal is lost/found, if the signal of gsm is good, it shouldnt happen (theoriticaly speaking..lol..).

helmi_c
Firstly great to see BT restarting automatically after handset is switched on from standby mode. After some fooling around I was able to set up activesync and it worked like a charm (useful for me especially since USB activesync does not work)
Couple of problems I faced
1. Turning off and restarting BT gave me a unable to load driver due to insufficient memory error. When I stopped my activesync, outlook and contacts and tried again it started successfully.
2. I was unable to find the DUN service and my PC did not recognize a DUN service either - am I looking/not looking at the right place?
Thanks and highly appreciate your prolific contribution

Hi Hemli
I have just installed this a minute ago,
Ill report back in a few hours with my experiances with this.
Hopefully it will be better than M$ BT stack with stereo headsets.

I've upload a patch that contain a newer BTCeIf.dll (1.7 the original was 1.6) and HTC_PCM_Routing.dll taken from htc device. well... in my device I dont hv problem with memory issues, even without this patch.. I dont know for sure, cos i dont test it much...currently test workin Simultaniously is BTSYnc, SerialPort 1 in 1 out, and Audio Gateway. and its still work fine.
btw please post comment here, and also what rom u currently use. Otw now, just come to trow the patch..

bro helmi,
Sorry if i asking you stupid question.
Can this file install/working with WM2003SE ?

hi..
hi have instal this, and find some issues
1- if i turn on bt the wifi dont work..
2- if i turn on wifi, the bt give the memory error
afther use 1 off the things (bt our wifi) need a soft reset to work the other

No, it does not work on WM2003SE, I installed it and I had to hard re-set my Imate, it works only under Wondows 2005!!
Any way I gave it a try and I had to hard reset my PDA any way!!

Helmi, I just wanted to confirm, that Dial-Up with 2nd phone works fine. Tested also BT stereo headphones from HP (A2DP with additional profile for controlling playing - skipping to the next track and pause) - So far works as only BT implementation in BA allows: on close distance and not doing much in backgroud works fine.
Another happy user of your Firmware and other tools for BA!
Later on I will test GPS on BT, but do not expect any problems.
One small detail is left from old BT stack: while creating a connection you can still choose connection using "Bluetooth" that refers to M$ stack (selecting it reports hardware error - not rreally suprising

NO HANDSFREE PROFILE
Hi
nice integration and thanks but i went back to ms as my sony ericson hcb-700 wll not pair for some reason after looks like the handsfree profile is not working

The Audio stream is great with this BT solution !
But when I connect to my parrot ck3300 carkit, It opens the connection like there is a tel.call active. when i press the hangup button on my carkit the BT connection is gone.
So it seems it is connected as headset and not as handsfree phone,
One other thing, when I connect to my BT Sony Ericsson HbH ds970 stereo headset I cannot shut off the screen in tcpmp player ???
(I think this also happened with th MS stack)
any solution for this ?

Last test (with my clean AKU3.2 v1.3) with BroadcommPatch1 applied and no overclock:
Turn on/off 4 times and reconnect below service (get bored to turn on/off and play with it again):
currently active BT service at the same time is:
1. Activesync / Bluetooth serial Out (syncing)
2. Network Acces/ Bluetooth Networking
3. Audio Gateway / Calling my mobile operator and stream audio to my pc as headset
4. Send/Recieve file from pc and from pda
5. Bluetooth serial In
and currently active application (leave as background procces I dont close it):
1. Activesync (Syncing)
2. Calendar
3. Contact (580 contact display)
4. Excel Mobile opening 185kb file
5. Album
6. Word Mobile opening 220kb file (little bit slow on opening)
7. Powerpoint Mobile opening 350kb file till end slide
8. Notes
9. Task
10. Bluetooth Manager
11. File Explorer
12. Calculator.
lastly...activate Wifi...wifi detecting & connect to neighbor network... turn off wifi...activated again...detecting & connect to neighbor network again...
but I dont test the GPS (serial port) or A2DP stuff since i dont hv it.
turn off bt...turn on again...reconnect the above BT service...do this 4 times.. still no memory issues. well maybe I'm just bein lucky... but the battery is drain more faster with this test, maybe because this is somekind of stress testing.
so far this Broadcomm stack still running well...the sound from Audiogateway while this test active is still ok, but if the gsm signal is bad, the sound is bad also, so its not bt problem its a gsm problem. btw the ShutXP Icon on the tray is GONE..thats weird.., that the only issue I hv..
btw does anyone know where to find a PC Widcomm/Broadcomm driver that support A2DP, I dont remember where to find it. My PC Widcomm driver version is v1.4.2 Build 12, quite old, I want to test the a2dp profile.

btw if u play with:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\HandsFree]
"SupportedFeatures"=dword:37 (default doesnt exist)
"ServiceMask"=dword:1
"AudioSetupDll"="\windows\HTC_PCM_Routing.dll" (default MkSpk_PCM_Routing.dll need to play with this and see what more widely support device)
"AudioPreferences"=dword:2
"AudioHandling"=dword:13 (default 8 )
there's a Icon if headset is activated. but its seems unstable in my device, try it.

Thanks Helmi, great job!
A2DP works nicely, but now i get the same opposite as compared to microsoft stack. my A2DP is perfect whereas any calls that come in ring through the hedset, but i can't pick the calls up / talk through the bluetooth headset. weird uh?
Anyone hit the same problem?
I have no problems with static, just some slowdowns due to processor usage and i can't toggle the screen in WM or using display switch.
Great Job though!
edit:
maybe its because i'm connected as both headset and high quality audio? going to try connect as hands free and HQA.
edit 2:
can't for the life of me find out how to pair it in handsfree mode! Any pointers?

A2DP skipping solution

Hi to all,
as pointed out many times in various XDA forums - there is a definite solution to the skipping problem with bluetooth stereo. The reason i post it again is that i never had the issue before, but it appeared with the latest ROMS 2.26 and beyond - probably due to more optimistic assumptions about the BT headset performances (i own a Jabra BT620S which i love, after i got rid of the Motorola HT820 because of terrific skipping that i could have probably solved!)
The solution:
set/change the registry BitPool (it is a DWORD in case you don't have it) by using TotalCommander or similar:
HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/BitPool=40
A value of 50 or so means heavy skipping, the lower it is the lower the bandwidth between your headset and the wizard. At 40, i can be the famous 10 m away without any skipping with a great audio quality. But at 50, i have essentially to keep the wizard nearby my ears....
Last comment on the quality: i don't notice any difference, probably because my WMA files are encoded at lower bandwidth anyway....BTW, MaxBitpool and SampleRate, experimentally, have no visible effect (probably depending onthe MS implementation of the BT stack).
All the precise information supporting this empirical evidence is available in (see for example pg. 22 and 71 for the bandwidth estimation)
http://www.bluetooth.com/NR/rdonlyres/800D10CD-DE3D-4D51-ABC0-726C8DF26151/921/A2DPspecv10.pdf
Enjoy the Wizard!

No Skipping at last.
It seems to work for me no skipping as long as I am not syning via bluetooth.
Thanks for posting this fix, as the skipping has been bothering me for a while.

I thought it was fixed
Sorry Buddy it still skips on me, do I have to reset the wiza after adding the registry setting?

Absolutely yes, you have to soft reset your device (keep pressed the power button or use the stylus in the small hole on the right side).

I use resco registery editor and there is no file for settings or bitpool? I have cingular 8125 and jabra 620

same here, i have no settings/bitpool in my registry

@pzucchel, which rom are you using?

And your roms are A2DP enabled? seems strange, though you could always add the settings, but God knows how many other keys you'll be missing.

which are you using, my only requirements for a rom are -
1 working a2dp
2 fast i don't really care if vanilla or not

if only that worked
i am using phoneAlarm which seems to slow down every rom is use a lot, but overclocking does not work for me.
someone please tell me which rom they are using, that way i can try it, and if the sound still drops, i know it's my device/my loaded software

I'm using Core2.0 (as shown in my signature). But I got the hissing problem so I am using Axim Widcomm stack.. However, I still have to overclock to get rid of the skipping. The reason could be because I play aac+ files using TCPMP. I remember that there was no skipping in WM5 when I played MP3s.

Well I'm using the stock T-Mobile now (I'm in between cooks, and messing around with the registry files, hopefully tomorrow I'll be flashing..... again) Have you tried Faria's roms? a2dp worked pretty well for me using an IOGear stereo headset. Skip's were far in between, that is if they were present at all; usually when I had a lot of apps running, or when the phone was connected or connecting to GPRS was the only way it would skip. Your milage may vary though, but it might be worth a shot.

so i flashed the core 2
edited the registry (set it to 20 hexadecimal, which gives 32 in brackets) (i really didn't find a2dp settings in any other rom i tried) and now it works, so thanks for all the help - it's easy when you have the right rom

I thought I would drop in my .02 cents. I have a Jabra 620 as well. I had previously used Molski 3.3 crossbow lookalike rom (WM5). With that one, auidio was good but was not in stereo.
Now today I had some free time so I decided to try a wm6 rom or 2. With Faria's rom, the sound quality was good. I think he sets the bitpool to 60. But the rom itself is buggy.
Next I tried crossbow reload 1.7. This rom is much less buggy. But the stereo bluetooth sucks. The sound quality is very tinny. Also, there is this constant background clanging that is very annoying. I have looked at the bitpool. Bitpool in reload is 30. I changed this to 60 but it may have only gotten slightly better. Sound quality still sucks. To note, I dont get any skipping, so Im happy about that.
EDIT: I decided to change the MaxBitPool value to greater than 30. At 35, all the clanging and general bad sound went away. I'm happy!

sorry for the missed replies!
....i have switched to the trinity due to a wizard failure!
...If you don't have the bitpool register, you should create it. And by the way, i had exactly the same problems with the trinity and the same jabra bt620s, and changing the bitpool value worked again!!!
all the best;
Piero

I now have the ingenetics rom dump flashed to my ppc (see my sig) and it is by far the best a2dp rom ever - without overclocking (i forgot to try it, so i'll be doing that soon, to see what improvements i can make)

OT - how is the trinity compared to a wiz? i asked in my local shop, but with all the rubbish from orange on it, it was actually a lot slower than my wiz. and they wouldn't even let me hard reset it and let me remove the extended rom they even said there was no other software to make it run faster! nor would i be able to remove the orange crp - funny how we know more about these things than the sellers

Thanks for this post. I know it's been a few months, but I just got myself a Jabra BT8010 and this change in the registry value made a difference in the audio quality. I don't have the drop outs I had with the other value. The problem I have now is that TCPMP doesn't play the video smoothly when using the headset despite overclocking. Any ideas to the setting that would help? Thanks.

Request for ROM with HTC Sense and bluetooth AVRCP working in AudioManager

I own a bluetooth stereo headset, and I'm used to controling the music player using the headset buttons (bluetooth AVRCP) since I had a Touch Cruise.
Now, for the Xperia, I've been testing some ROMs (Touch X 10.8.2, latest Valkyrie releases, both Energy ROMs and Jack's V3xx and V4xx) but none of them gave me AVRCP in HTC's player (AudioManager), only in WMP.
I also tried some suggested fixes (the one in Jack's thread, Itje's BlackStone Audiomanager cab, extracted audiomanager.exe from Daran's BlackStone TouchFLO 3D cab), but either I get a certificate error or they don't work.
Is there a ROM with latest TouchFLO 3D (HTC Sense) and with bluetooth AVRCP working in Audiomanager? Or an actually working fix?

I gave up on this a long time ago.. It seems that it's just not working on Xperia. But of course, i would be interested in a solution, too

Wow, new ROMs lack this core functionality? What about when playing music from the panel manager?

I'll jump on here too, been waiting a looong time for this one. What is the issue exactly? Is it the OS the app? Some minor improvements under windows media player makes me believe its the app but then not so much when i havent had any success since 6.0....

I tested and it definitely working w/ my rom (make sure you copy w/ Resco Explorer). But by enable this w/ the new manila will cause your playlist lost after reset.

Something that is also annoying is that the Xperia automatically connects the bluetooth headset, but doesn't automatically connect the A2DP to the same device.
So everytime I step in the car, I have to go to bluetooth settings to click on the XPLOD device (that's already connected) to connect the A2DP. Is there a fix for this?
This combined with the HTC player not working with AVRCP, means that I have to get up 10 minutes earlier to listen to music in the car when I go to work

This thread got me looking again and for those with issues check out the On The Road panel . Fully working AVRCP plus a cool panel to boot!

I have tried, but with Total Commander, not Resco Explorer.
With your fix I get a certificate error, but I'll try again.
fu-raz, this automatic connection depends on the bluetooth device. Example: I had two different bluetooth headsets. With the first, when I connected it to the phone, it was connected as a handsfree, and I myself had to go to bluetooth, advanced, and set it as a stereo headset.
With the last, at first it was connected as a handsfree, but I only had to press the "call" button on the headset control, and then it was connected as a stereo headset.

Could you please be so kind and attach your working AudioManager.exe or cab or sth.? Tried many by copying into Windows folder with resco and always got the not signed error.

I did test jackleung fix, and got a certificate error.
Any other suggestions?

The thing with my device is, it acts as both. It's my car radio. It sets up a headset AND a stereo headset connection. The thing is, one connects automatically, the other doesn't. I will see if I can use the on the road panel if I can find it!

On The Road panel does not help me.
Yeah, I know Xperia is capable of doing AVRCP in other applications (e.g. WMP).
What I want is AVRCP working in TouchFLO 3D music tab, that is, HTC Audiomanager.

I am busy w/ my new kitchen now. Let me build a 6.5 med rom w/ AVRCP later to prove it's working ;p (but be aware the bug I pointed out)

Ok, I'll be waiting for it. Hope it works.

Here you go. This rom is just a prove of concept that AVRCP does work on MY rom with my fix (not guarantee to work w/ others). And it does has bug that playlist cannot survive after soft-reset.

Hi Jack.
Yeah, it really works! I don't know about the playlist-softreset bug (can you explain it to me?), but at least I have AVRCP working in music tab.
I wonder if other people can cook this fix into their ROMs as you did. Do you know if it's possible?
