The Bluetooth Post - will it ever work!

Hi all,
Dunno about you guys but my new XDA2s is pretty paff when it comes to bluetooth. Scratchy sound, erratic volume, headset disconnecting randomly, poor range, etc etc.
I have used an old O2 G2 headset, a new O2 Bluetrek headset and most recently a Nextlink Bluespoon AX headset. All of them were nearly as bad as each other - except the volume on the AX is far less erattic. However, using them with my PC proved no problem so the XDA2s is at fault here!
I did find that forcing the headset to use headset mode rather than hands-free made a significant difference on the older models, however I cannot manage to force the AX to headset mode in any way (still waiting for tech support on that). The AX is let off though as its hands-free mode is as good as the headset mode on the older models, I just hope it will be even better when I force it to headset (if anyone knows how let me know!).
So - I have tried the following builds with my AX:
Radio 1.06.00 BT 3500 - BAD
Radio 1.06.00 BT 3900 - BAD
Radio 1.08.00 BT 3500 - Better volume and outgoing call, but bad for person on other end of the phone.
Radio 1.08.00 BT 3900 - Pretty much the same, small imporvement for me, no imporvement for other end of the line.
I am hoping we can keep a track of various radio and BT version in this post and try between us to figure out a good combination.

There is an extra audio dll
There is an extra audio dll for bluetooth that fixes some problems posted somewhere else in this forum.
This one fixed bluetooth headset enormous here.

I believe the dll you are talking about adds the high-quality bluetooth protocl, allowing stereo bluetooth heasets to be used for music etc. Does this make any difference to the normal bluetooth headsets though?

Hi,
Not sure how I got mine to work but I am using a Jabra 200 headset and it works great.
I am using a custom image of WM2003SE with the optional BT drivers and so far no problems - I found when I originally had similar issues I had to pair the headset again and then everything was okay (I noted the XDAII asked if I wanted to enable the headset support).
I get the odd problem where the headset icon disappears from the today screen but I found that its still there, just doesn't refresh so you have to tap the area and it comes to life.
The headset answers the calls after 3 rings (the headset creates beeps in time with the ringing) and when I dial the headset switches on after a second of making the call. The only thing I have noticed is that I cannot redial when pressing the button on the headset however it does hangup an existing call.
Cheers,
Godz

Hi finalzero - you say XDAII, do you mean IIs or are you using the II? My old XDAII worked fine - it is just this new XDAIIs that is giving me problems.

Bluetooth
Hi ,
same problem for me ,
Radio 1.08.00 BT 3900 - slightly better but not the best wit Jabra 250 V & Qtek 9090 ,
I installed BA_OEM_AudioGW CAB , downloadble somewhere around , but still problems .
When all of this will end ? Bluetooth is a nightmare !

I've had an XDA2 (several actually and got fed up of them being rubbish so insisted on an upgrade) now got XDAIIs. The bluetooth manager is aweful! Can't connect to my O2 headset, does't work well with TomTom3 and is generally crap!
Logged on to find out if anyone else is having trouble so please it's not just me, now all I need to do is find out how to fix it. I'm not a mega techie (but not too bad with the right support) and wondered if it's possible to use the bluetooth software from the XDA2?

Bluespoon AX
I have the same sort of combination Orange M2000 and Bluespoon AX and have the same nightmare sound quality - using Radio 1.04.00 and BT 3900. The AudioGW patch makes no difference (as posted above it's for headphone solutions).
Would be interested in the info you get back from Nextlink on the way to force the mode of the device if possible. Otherwise it's a complete waste of money as it crackles at both ends.

Nothing back from NextLink - have sent 2 emails. With radio 1.08 it sounds fine to me but the user on the other end reports it still quite bad. Gonna do 1.10 soon and see if that helps...

XDAIIs Bluetooth - upgrade to a Jabra 250
I had similar problems with my bluetooth Jabra 200 so I upgraded to a 250 (the black one) and I didn't have any further problems. The vibrating alert is really neat... 8)

bluespoon AX
while we're waiting for Nextlink's reply - can anyone advise me as to whether an upgrade to the Radio version (I'm only on 1.04) requires a hard reset (and full software re-build) or not? If not - are there instructions on another post that say how to do it??

Upgrading to radio ROM 1.08 or 1.10 may improve your BT performance significantly -- I updated my SX66 to 1.08 a couple weeks ago and my Bluetrek G2 headset now works much better.
Radio ROM upgrades do involve a hard reset & software re-install; this thread is devoted to the 1.10 upgrade -- there's another one in this forum for the 1.08.

BT headset unusable

Hello
A while a go, I upgraded successfully to wm2005. Since then, my ba works like a charm. Memory, BT, wifi,... all is going swell! The only aggravating point is I no longer can use my bt headset (jabra bt250v and jabra bt800). The problem is that there's so much disturbance that I cannot hear what people are saying and vice versa. I already upgraded the radio till the last version I could find on the ftp, but no luck.
Today I tried with other headsets (another jabra and another sonyericsson) and I have the same problem. But just now, I hooked it up with a sony ericsson bt carkit and the reception is flawless. Too bad that carkit wasn't mine ;-)
So I'm really at a loss here...
If any of you could help me out, I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks!
Beldin

Which rom are you using?
I'm using Helmi's 1.4 rom Vanilla version and it works great with my Bluespoon AX and i-Tech Clip Radio.
You might want to hard reset and flash the WM5 and Radio 1.15 rom again.

I have upgraded to the vanilla version, but the problem remains... (nice version btw!)
The following was also the case with the previous version: when I hold my ba very close to my headset, the cracking stops. Then I have not only my ba to my ear, but my headset in between
I also have a bt gps receiver, which works fine, no matter how far in my car.
So now I still wonder why my ba has such a bt audio problem...

try i-tech s35

blueant x5i stereo headset mp3 playback problems

hello again everyone!!!
i just got a set of blueant x5i stereo bluetooth headphones yesterday... they look cool and feel cool... call quality is great...
but the mp3 sound through my tmobile wing is HORRIBLE!!! i tried the headphones on my co-worker's t-mobile dash and they sound awesome... i can't figure out why they sound so muddy and crackly on my phone... is there a setting somewhere that i am missing??? perhaps a firmware upgrade for my phone that would solve this issue???
any help or insight would be greatly appreciated...
thanks in advance,
bennie

How does playback sound through the included (if any headset) or through the loud speaker? If it sounds good (normal) through those then its most likely a blue tooth problem. When you sync it up are you around anything that could possibly interfere with it during the sync process? There have been a few times when I am making a call (rare) but it wont get a good connection and everything will sound like I am under water or worse. (more with my old phone having a crappy radio)
If you have sync'd the two a fair ammount of times and its always the same sounding quality might look on the T-Moble Wings forum (this is the HTC s730) and see if other users have had the same problem. I wouldnt see it having a bad HTC driver, but it might not be very compatable with that headset?

its hard to judge sound the the loud speaker... it sounds bad no matter what...
when hard wired through the headphones that came with the unit, the mp3 playback is fine... its not crackly like this headset is... i tried resyncing a few times as far away from everything as i could so there would be no interference... i never sync my music files though bluetooth so i know that the files aren't getting corrupted... they are going through usb...
i think it has something to do with the phone...

Double check the compatability on the headset, if it plays fine through the USB headphones, and the headset sounds perfectly fine on another phone...
What version is the heatset? blue tooth 2 or whatever the newer version is? I know the phone supports it but something else might have changed? Just something to look into.
Aside from a firmware flash or some software bug I cant think of anything else If the compatability show's up that it should work might try calling HTC's support line?

i contacted blueant before purchase and they assured me the headset is compatible... also tmobile claims that its compatible as well... they even have tmobile packaed oem boxes for this particular headset... the hardware protocols also line up... technically, everything should work!!!
i already contacted htc with regards to this issue... this was their reply:
Thank you for your inquiry in regards to Bluetooth headset stereo issue.
Ben, I know how important it is for you to have the bluetooth headset working properly, Unfortunately there is no updates or patch available for the T-mobile wing to fix the issue, although T-mobile might have a ROM upgrade. The reason why the T-mobile dash had no issues with the headset is because it has different drivers for bluetooth support. Look into possibly upgrading the device rom to try and resolve the issue, otherwise you'll need to purchase another headset which is compatible with the device.
i looked into updating the rom and it appears that i have the newest version: 4.10.531.3 WWE from march 15th 07... i wasnt' able to find anything newer... does someone else know of a newer version for the hera110???

Hmm, might be something in T-Mobiles software that is nerfing your set... Not sure of what though...

Bluetooth range problems

Hi !
I hope anyone can help me.
What i have is a 32A with new radio and flashed with Cursorsense latest rom. I have also tried alot of other roms with 2.1 android, etc etc.
My bluetooth is all messed up, i can't go more than 20-30cm from my phone and then the signal starts to fade. I've tried with a new Sony Ericsson headset, same problem, and now i have a expensive Jabra BT3030 and still have the problems.
The headset works perfect on a iphone, laptop etc, but on my Htc Magic, big problem.
Anyone have any ideas?
Best Regards
Erik

Lol
i just solved it.
I missed out on the antennas that was on my original shell for htc magic ...

[Q] No stereo on fm radio

Help me before I change smartphone (in spite of this LG pleases me).
My problem is as follows: before this P880, I had a smartphone with which I was satisfied, but when I discovered that its radio fm was not in stereo (hey yes, I attach a lot of importance for the stereophony), I sold it, with regret of course, and it is what is going to take place with my P880(if the problem is not solved),because its radio is not stereo ( by stereo I mean 3D sound as you can hear different sounds on the right and left earphone,not dual chanels only) .I tried all the official roms(v10c,v10e,v20a,v20c...), and many headsets and earphones, I upgraded, downgraded , but the problem is that I have mono sound,while on my son's LG L3 there is a stereo effect. Then, please, tell to me if there is any manipulation to make to have the stereo effect. Thank you for helping an old man limited in technology.
P. S.:avec spirit fm, I have the stereophony with original earphones, but I am obliged to stay on ICS.
Sorry for my bad english,if you understand it,you're champions.
