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.
Ok, I am trying to connect the ht820 stereo headset with my wizard but it will not play sound through the headset. I have the Cingular 2.08 Rom Loaded under bluetooth devices when I "refresh" it shows Headset and Handsfree. I have tried selecting both, and even a combination with no luck. The voice dial/phone functions of the headset work but not when I play music. I know the headset works because it plays music on my bluetooth laptop. Am I doing something wrong? Please help!
press the right ear button, and it will sync the phone to the headset, and start playing the music through the headset.
right button doesnt do anything when I press it. When I press left button it goes to voice speed dial.
Checked Bluetooth settings - Both Headset and Hands Free are Checked.
Any ideas?
wireless stereo needs to be enabled. does your ROM verson say 2.8.7.11? if not, you don't have A2DP.
hmm thats weird, during loadup OS reports 2.17 but i installed the 2.08 rom.??
Thanks for pointing that out to me though, I assumed since I installed the 2.08 rom it was running 2.08 wit a2dp.
i have 2.08 and the motoroma ht820 does work....somehow. I mean that i get evrw 20-50 secs interruptions for a fraction of a sec....the same to you? i tried various things (including Hard resets) but no success...
on 2.08, indeed, the bluetooth allows to have stereo headset, and the right earpad button does the rest.
Music through Bt ear bud
ok, i upgraded to new rom 2.17, this rom is excellent, battery life was beyond terrible before, now it is nothing short of OUTSTANDING... :lol:
Question, does this version support music through Bt earbud? I'd really like to have that feature... :roll:

Some clever people have worked out how to extract the files for a2dp and install them into wizards, prophets etc.
See the thread in the main Wizard forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48535 which direct to another post to download the files.
I have this working on my k-jam using wwe 1.16 rom and its great.

Hi,
Have installed BT A2DP patch and seams to work for my keyboard (Thinkoutside) and ActiveSync plus my GPS (Navman BT). I will now think about getting a stereo headphone set something like Motorola H820 or Blueant X5.
However it seams I can only connect BT devices if the radio is on. There are times when I want the phone off but still be able to use BT.
Is there a setting I am missing or is this how the driver works.
Thanking in advance.
Gordon
Gordon,
it's just one of those interesting quirks - you need the phone on for BT (or wireless LAN) to be on.

You still may leave screen off. :lol: A2DP does not work again after power off. Usual handsfree profile works ok, when incoming call has been made.
where can I find BT A2DP for my alpine?
is there a link somewhere I can't see?, and, then, anyone know some installer/upgrade to go from 1.11.162 WWE to v1.11.171 WWE? I'm going mad to pair the Fortuna clip-on with my Alpine, and seems it doesn't work 'cause BT version on the fortuna is 1.1, on the Alpine is 1.0.0.3900. Is this correct?
thanx everyone, cya
Toobalz;
I'm having the same problem with my O2 BT clip on. I can't pair it with XDAIIi, but it works fine with XDAmini and XDAII.
Does anyone know why???
Cheers;
pc
ROM version: 1.11.00 WWE
ROM date : 01/27/05
Radio Version: 1.04.00
Protocol : 1337.42
ExtRom : 1.11.162 WWE
hey, everyone...I've solved my problems buying a tomtom...I know, it's a defeat, but I've to work faster....
And, for everyone who has an Alpine, I've discovered the TomTomOne car charger is identical, for voltage, polarity and amperage to a its normal AC adapter:
5V . 2A . (+)-o)(-); naturally, you've to unplug the plug from the Ac adapter and to plug it to the car charger.
In sintesi, if you've an Alpine, and buy a TomTomOne,don't you buy the car charger for the Alpine.
Hope so find this usefull, cya
Hi,
Ik upgraded my BA to wm5
And i miss the service in bluetooth OBEX
I need this one for my digital pen.
Dos any one now where or how i fix this.
ROM: 5.35.05 WWE
Radio: 1.13.00
Protocol version 1337.42
there is obex protocol but i think you miss the broadcomm BT stack, you can install it separately just search the forums for the cab
Just installed
Broadcomm 3900 and the update.
Now i have 2 BT icon in the today screen.
One icon is active but it is the standard BT driver,
When i push on the BT button (wich heave the obex service) ill get the message:
the bluetooth radio failed to turn ON due to insufficient driver memory You must peform a reset you can turn on the BT radio
tried different BT stack's
Who can help me
well i think that you installed WM2003 BT stack, and you crapped everything , look for helmi_c WM5 broadcomm/widcomm stack, it is in blueangel upgrading forums somewhere
Is it possible to use the existing hardware within the TyTNII for receiving FM radio signals? Surely it'd be a case of utilising the same hardware used for WiFi (802.11x = 2.4GHz), but at a lower frequency (FM 88.0MHz-108.0MHz)..
I was disappointed that FM radio was not an included feature of the TyTNII, however I'm happy with just about everything else about it. The only comparable phone that I was considering is the Eten X500+ glofiish which does have FM radio.
If there is already an FM radio application, please hook me up.
Regards,
Scott.
NOPE kaiser does not have fm transmitter ...
if it was simply the case of utilizing the same hardware.......then surely, every single ppc with wifi could be modded to receive fm radio signal. holy cow, you know what i realized, my laptop has wifi too! i'm sooo gonna mod it to receive fm radio
just because they use the same term "radio frequency" doesn't always mean that they're interchangeable. so let's review this... since TyTn II has WiFi radio chip is there any software to turn it into:
satellite dish receiver?
citizen band transceiver?
(hd)tv tuner?
microwave oven?
fm radio? ... maybe not
bluetooth - there's a dedicated component/module for this
GPS - there's a dedicated component/module for this
but who knows if there was a disabled chip that can potentially be activated (as long as the hardware is there and accessible), there might be possibilities
one word: SEARCH!
there is a LONG thread on this in one of the kaiser sections which has long been buried which has determined that the kaiser does not have the proper hardware to receive FM radio signals. the touch cruise can receive them IIRC but the kaiser cannot due to the lack of a needed chip.

Threads like this should be closed the second they are posted. Sorry if i sound like a know it all, but i am a amateur radio operator, hence I have alo't of experience in the radio field. Using a modulated 2.4ghz transciever in impossible to re-modulate it to the am/fm bands. it just wont work.
second. you have to have a on board antenna and a tuner that is resonant on those freq's and the kaiser/tilt does not.
Third. Dutty has been tinkering on a idea of getting it to work, and following what he is thinking it might work, however the reception most likely will be limited.
Fourth. If a radio is such a big deal then buy a am/fm portable radio, or buy a sony w580i,
Fifth. SEARCH, there are plenty of threads regarding this.

Sixth. Using wifi or data go to www.thestreamcenter.com/pda and listen to all the FM radio your heart desires
Wow! Thanks for that link.
...or get one of the many internet radio programs available (such as Resco Pocket Radio).
