A2DP and TMO MDA

First of all I want to thank the devlopers of A2DP cause they were looking out for the interests of others. BUT I am very surprised to see posts to the fact that the tornado cab works great with the T-Mobile MDA 2.17 Custom upgrade? I tested the tornado cab to death, and frankly found the sound quality to be very poor at best. :?

I compared the HT820 Motorola Stereo Headset vs. the supplied Stereo Headphones that came with MDA, and there was no comparison, the supplied headphones were superior in sound! The stereo seperation using the Tornadao cab plus the HT820 was terrible! The sound quality during key guitar seperations using the supplied stereo headphones was clear and consize. I even tried TCPMP using the equializer, and power boosters, and it helped the sound on the HT820, but again, using TCPMP with the supplied stereo phones was awesome!

At first I thought the HT820 were possibly a sad pair BT stereo headset, but paired them with a Motorola Dongle on table top PC. An the sound usig Windows Media was awesome! Incredible sound and I was able to get calls from MDA to the HT820 while listening to awesome music off my table top pc. That was an interesting experience. :lol:

I appreciate Tornado's attempt to offer A2DP cause it's the way to go, but hope TMO can finally come up with an official ROM version hopefully, but not holding my breath, which includes A2DP.
[HTC Tornado] Sleuth255:
I believe there are issues with the moto HT820. They apparantly only work well when either direct connected or bluetooth connected to another motorola device. As supporting evidence for this hypothesis, the HP iPaq/Logitech bluetooth headphones work great with the tornado A2DP patch.
[HTC Tornado] Maddogx007:
I will assume your using the Tornado and TMO MDA device? If so, then this is a very interesting observation, cause I will try another BT Stereo Headset. :lol:
[HTC Tornado] Sleuth255:
Actually, I'm using the patch on a Cingular 8125 (wizard) with Qtek rom. If you have a CompUSA nearby, you can try out the HPs as they stock those. If you don't like them, then just take advantage of their 21 day return policy.
[HTC Tornado] Maddogx007:
Incredible! I was just on HOFO talking with some buddies about giving the Tornado another shot using the logitec which I just googled, to see if it works. I mentioned about "try before u buy" from stores like Circuit City or Comp USA, cause I had just done that with Radio Shack and the HT820's... thanks bro :wink:
[HTC Tornado] Maddogx007:
You know I googled the Cingular 8125, similar to MDA, that's good news! But have you actually tested the Tornado, your BT stereo to the supplied mini jack stereo headphones? What is your opinion?
[HTC Tornado] Maddogx007:
I did some googling on the HP stereo headsets and the responses from real users is pretty sad. I think I will try googling other set you mentioned.

@Maddogx007:

I read the review in your link. The pre-release drivers referred to as being "scratchy" aren't required on HTC devices. They are only used on iPAQs and actually implement the A2DP stack there. Do not try to load them on your HTC PDA if you decide to buy this headset! BTW: I paid $79 for these at CompUSA. That's $20 less than the reviewer paid.

The Logitech headset is the exact same thing; both are produced by the same OEM. I would suggest searching this forum for " HP FA303" as this is the model number of the HP headset. You can also find poster impressions of this excellent headset by searching the Wizard forums as well. I have not seen a bad review of this device from an XDA poster yet btw. This is important because XDA posters are reviewing performance of the HP headset on HTC devices like yours, not iPAQs.

Also: the headset has no capability for direct connection so there's no way to check for sound quality differences

Logitech headphones with i-mate SP5

I have a i-mate SP5 and got the A2DP working with the moto HT820 but also notice some distortion at high frequencies. I went out and bought the logitech wireless headphone for MP3 (black pair). Now my question is this. .. How do I pair the logitech headphones to the i-mate SP5.. I held the connect button down for a couple of seconds and searched for bluetooth device but the SP5 didn't find it ..... I know with the moto I used 0000 for the pairing code. The headphones came with an adapter with a 3.5mm connector on the side... I am assuming that I don't use this adapter since the purpose is to use the A2DP mode on the phone....

Thanks.... Rich
[HTC Tornado] rmastbro:
Re: Logitech headphones with i-mate SP5

Figured it out... I didn't hold down the connect button long enough....

I agree with Sleuth255.... I don't get a high pitch distortion compared to the moto HT820... But I am a little worried about the plastic bracket breaking as many have reported (connecting the 2 headphones together)

I would like to try out the new Jabra BT620s... Has anyone tried out these headphones ??? Any annoying high pitch distortion ????
[HTC Tornado] Sleuth255:
The plastic headband crack issue is real. A friend of mine has an older pair of logitech's and he fixed the crack with a piece of plastic and black tape.. :roll:

Any progress with the sound quality issue?

Has anyone turned up anything regarding the sound quality issue ("ringing" sound with higher frequences) with the A2DP hack and the Moto HT820s? I've been pulling my hair out trying to get this going, I've tried it with the original Cingular 2125 firmware, the newest SP5 f/w, and the newest SP5m firmware - same result each time. It works, it is stereo, all the buttons work, but it's impossible to listen to for more than a few minutes. Even tried overclocking it with omapclock.exe - phone performance was better, but the sound quality was the same. The headphones work great paired up to my computer with a non-motorola bluetooth adapter ($40 at radioshack, "bluespoon" or something like that) that uses the Toshiba software, and with my PC at work (Widcomm software, I think).

I realize this will probably be fixed by the time the official A2DP release comes out, but I'd REALLY like to get it going sooner. Any help would be greatly appreciated, and I'll donate as much as I can.

thanks in advance-

Josh

Re: Any progress with the sound quality issue?

Unlikely. I have a suspicion that this won't even be fixed in the "final" release. I'm waiting to hear from StarTrk users to see if they have this problem as well...

AND works on my german MDA Compact II from T-Mobile as well!!! Thank you all!!!!!
[HTC Tornado] roma:
Don't know if I said thanks, so... Thanks

Works fine with my i-mate SP5m and Nokia HS-12W stereo set. Some minor interference at the high frequenties at high volume, but acceptable.
[HTC Tornado] mterlouw:
Just to confirm, I have both the Logitech bluetooth headphones for iPod and the Motorola HT820, and the latter have a totally annoying ringing high-pitch sound that accompanies high pitches. The Logitech headphones work perfectly, though are generally less comfortable.

It's pretty sad for a product that normally goes for $130. I was hoping they would work well since I got a good deal on them a a local Radio Shack that is going out of business.
[HTC Tornado] roma:
Don't judge them to harsh yet. It is an unofficial A2DP patch that is most likely not optimized for the Tornado. It might get better if the official release is installed. If......
[HTC Tornado] mterlouw:
Ok. :) I just went back and read the last couple of pages. You're right, it seems to be a software issue with the WM5 A2DP driver/hack.

using a regular non stereo bluetooth headset?

Is there any way listen to music from Windows Media Player through a regular 'one ear' non-stereo bluetooth headset?

I know that the hack mentioned in this forum thread is talking about stereo bluetooth headsets, but I just want to listen to some tunes while my regular bluetooth headset is in my ear.

Anyone ever heard of this being possible? whenever I play music with the media player, the sound it comes out the built in speakers and not the connected bluetooth headset, like what happens to stereo BT headsets without the A2DP driver/hack.
[HTC Tornado] joshw:
Re: using a regular non stereo bluetooth headset?

As far as I know, this is the only way to do it -

http://www.smartphone.net/software_detail.asp?id=2013

it works as advertised, but keep in mind the audio quality of the regular bluetooth headset profile is atrocious for music - they sound fine for speech but the bandwidth is so low that music becomes very distorted.

If you decide to do this, I would recommend switching ears from time to time, so you don't totally wreck your hearing.

YMMV, etc etc
[HTC Tornado] timnology:
Exactly what I needed! Your right music quality is bad, but it's good enough for the quick movie clip.

Thanks!
[HTC Tornado] mterlouw:
Ok, the Motorola Q is out and it looks like it supports A2DP, and they are apparently selling the HT820 headphones with the phone as an option. See here.

Maybe this means we'll see a version of this driver that works with these headphones sometime in the near future? I hope so. :)

Jabra BT620 review with i-mate SP5 (stereo bluetooth)

I purchased a Jabra BT620 bluetooth stereo headphones and wanted to give an update after listen to them for several hours..

I updated my i-mate SP5 to add the A2DP stereo bluetooth mod.

First off I want to say that there is NO "high pitched digital disturbance/distortion" like I have experience with other bluetooth stereo headphones like the Moto HT820 and the Plantronics Pulsar 590A with my i-mate SP5.

Pretty comfortable .... did not notice any issues after wearing them for about several hours... To me the most comfortable stereo bluetooth headphones I have used.

The max volume level is not bad but wish it was capable of going a bit louder. the bass level was fair but not great..

I also got them to work with my computer bluetooth adapter. Also sounded very good.

Conclusion:

Comfort - 9/10

Sound Quality - 8/10 (no high pitched digital disturbance/distortion)

Weight - 9/10

Battery life - 10/10

[HTC Tornado] salmon:
Works fantastically with Pulsar 590!

Only problem is reconnecting to the headphones once i've turned them off... every time i reconnect i have to go into connections/bluetooth/devices and set the headphones as "set as wireless stereo"...

Is there an easier way of doing this that i'm missing?

T-Mobile SDA A2DP experience

Installing A2DP based on these instructions worked great. Although I spent a few days reding this and other threads before I messed with my new phone. I ended up removing the application called "Your Company Name Your Application Name", which did not remove completely, but it removed the registry settings. I did not notice any difference. My moto HT820 continued to pair and play the songs. I could no longer control windows media player, but I did not discover that for a few days. Today, I found something about AVCRP on this same thread, and checked my mobile registry. The new settings were gone. I reinstalled the cab which has the registry settings in it (http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=275438#275438) and noticed that the app is called "Your Company Name Your Application Name".

Other T-Mobile SDA (USA) observations:

A2DP does not work with WiFi on. The sound buffers such that I hear 1 second out of every 10 seconds or worse (so I know it is not a software problem). So I cannot watch my home TV on slingplayer with A2DP headset on. If I use GPRS instead of WiFi, then I can use the headset. If this is not about interference, then this is a hardware limitation.

I have CoPilot GPS and when it is thinking (every now and then, at 30 second or 1 minute intervals), the sound from Windows Media player jams for a seond or two. And this is without using bluetooth a2dp profile. I use a wired connection to a cassette adapter. Guess I will have to live with that, since I gave away my other mp3 player to a friend when I got this phone. Now that I have my songs and a a terrific GPS solution in my phone, I cannot imagine not using them simultaneously.

When using my bluetooth headphones with windows media player and no other software, the song still slows down at times, like a tape running at a slower speed, and then recovers back after 2-4 seconds. And this happens even with fully charged phone and headset. At other times, bringing my hand close to the bluetooth controls on the headset breaks the feed at times. I will learn the right way to hold my hand when changing volume or song.

These things dont deter me and I am still very excited to have a phone that is small, yet can play my TV, DVD (just plug in my dvd player and play, thanks to slingbox), play my music (even the phone speakers sounded good to me while grilling), a full-featured GPS system (with 350 MB of eastern US data on the phone). While I am an enthusiast like most of you on this thread, I can see that the technology is still nacent and needs to be improved before this is widely advertised to every tom, **** and harry.

Re: Any progress with the sound quality issue?

I have a Dopod S300 (HTC StrTrk):

1. With the stock A2DP files I only get mono. Arrghh! I use an i.Tech R35 clip and use Audio-Technica ES-7 and AD500 headphones.

2. With the XDA hack I get stereo, but I have the ringing problem.

I'm trying to figure out what I can do about it. Waiting for a better set of files, or buying a wired headset, may be the only options.
[HTC Tornado] Greenturtle:
Agrrh! Im using this with my C600 with an Imate AKU2 Rom and A2DP Addon with the lag tweak. Using anycom BSH-100's and everything paired greatly music sounds REALLY good quality and even the controls work!

However I get this really annoying thing where every so often it will cut out for a second or sometime 5 or 10! its really really bad it can happen ever 30 seconds or every 7 and drives me mad.

I paired the headphones with the pc and listened to the music on the pc for an hour and all was well with no jumps. Just perfect straightforward playback with controls.

It must be the A2DP, as I sed im using this lag tweak but it hasnt helped but its a bit better.

Downloading attached zip

Hi there, sorry for being a newb (and probably a bit retarded)....but how do I download the attached files that everyone is using to instal A2DP on their various devices?

Which stereo wireless headphones.

I purchased a iTech Clip S38 headset when I bought my Dopod 818pro. It is said to be compatible with A2DP profiles. However until now I could not get it to work in stereo (I just downloaded the CAB file posted in this forum to try).

Why the iTech Clip S38? It allows any standard stereo headphones to be connected to it. This way I can use my own super hi-fi (or any) headset ( I use this http://www.headphone.com/products/headphones/in-ear-monitor/ultimate-ears-superfi-3-studio-black.php). That way I can use cheap or hi-fi headphones. True there is a short wire this way, but much better then one draging all the way around my body. And if I'm in my car, I don't have to worry about the wire getting tangled with my steering wheel.

Cheers!

Hi All

Even though I own a Dell x51v PDA [I believe it's a HTC] & I'm trying to use a Sony Ericsson's HBH-DS970 stereo Bluetooth headset with no success.

I was refered to this forum from a us.dell.com member who had success using the HTC_Tornado_A2DP.zip but I must be totally dumb because I can't get it to work running the 2 setups. I must say you guys sound experts & i'm just a users so I need your help please step by step.

It also seems the bluetooth enabling in connections seems to break my active sync, [which means a full restore] :( . My PDA requires a bluetooth connection password of 1234 & Sony Ericsson's HBH-DS970 stereo Bluetooth headset requires a different connection password of 0000. So this seems to be a conflict as the 1234 isn't accepted & Sony say the PDA password takes president so I should use 1234 code but it's not working. HELP any one.

How to I know the Tor_A2DP_cert.cab, Tornado_A2DP.cab files have been successful?
