ID64...spkr volume and mic volume in registry? Is it really there? If so, where? thank you.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] horatiog:
My first post here at XDA as my Vario 3, purchased via EBay, just arrived today. Having read this thread (just after having won the auction) was well worrie, as only last week had sweated blood & tears getting a Parrot CK3100 into my car.

First thing I did was try pairing Vario 3 with the Parrot. It did some very wierd things to start with (Parrot went into "Call" mode with out a call being made, then hung in this state.) However, a reboot of phone, then putting into bluetooth mode, then ignition on in car to boot the parrot and all was sweetness and light. Parrot picked up Vario, sync'd the phonebook and went into "ready" mode.

Then made the call. Voice through speakers was quite a bit less than with HP Ipaq (old phone) but otherwise OK. Remote caller said I sounded fine. Its wierd that there is such a variety of results on here. Only thing I can think of of for those with probs is to flash the Parrot with the latest firmware. (There's stuff to do this on their website - says it adds functionality for the latest phones.)

Jabra X10 and the Tilt

I have the JX10. It was a dream with my 8525 it sounded and worked great.

(caveat: in general it is a very delicate and breakable headset -- I have had two of them and done numerous repairs to keep them from falling apart - I have cannibalized the first to keep the second one going - but what the hell, I love that little head set with my 8525.)

BUT

It is an unusable pig connected to the Tilt.

It pairs ok, but when you activate voice command or try to answer a call it activates the phone but will not transfer sound (or mic) to the ear piece. Sometimes after a short time the JX10 beeps and then you can hit the connect button again and it will transfer the sound. If you place a call it will not play the ring signal into the ear piece or the handset and it will only allow you to connect sound (signaling you with a couple of beeps) to hear the call until after the called party has answered.

Maddening!

Don't even get me started about how bad it sounds on the Tilt.

I'm tempted to go back to the Hermes, but I love my new Tilt...

Does anyone know of a high quality headset that functions properly with the Tilt?

BT sound quality

I have a Motorola h320 headset (think thats right number) works very well.

great sound quality and much better for recipients - my nokia 6300 caused heaps of noise issues.

my blueant x5 sterio headset also works a treat! not tinny at all. Calls good music great.

ROM = Original AT&T retail TILT

HEADSET = Plantronics Pulsar 260
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] hozidax:
Thanks Leon! I just got it a day or so ago. It's kind of bulky but I have been experimenting with it, and it sounds good and seems to work properly (to an extent- see below). I think the in-call sound quality is still pretty poor, but it's not as crappy as the x10 on the Tilt (again, the x10 was a dream with my 8525). I am betting the x10 problems have to do with the fact that the x10 is a BT 1.2 device and the the Tilt is BT 2.0.

I am having some operational issues to get used to due to the fact that the 8010 is both a hands-free and a stereo headset. I saw someone post this link:

http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=freeware

It's freeware and it works great when you want to switch between external wired stereo and BT Stereo on the fly without effecting the hands-free connection. But even that configuration on the Tilt has problems, if I have a wired stereo connection (like to my car's aux input) the Tilt won't route that call sound through bluetooth hands free, it sends the in-call audio through the wired headset connection (which has no mic!)

So my next concern (besides finding a way to improve in-call sound quality) is how to keep the Tilt from switching the handsfree calling connection off if I have a wired connection to my car stereo so I can listen to music but answer the phone via bluetooth (this was a no-brainer on the Hermes).

How could they have gotten this all to work so well on the Hermes in WM5 and so completely screwed it up in the next generation of hardware and software?? aaaargghh

Have I gone off-topic? Should I make this issue a new thread?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] spanky310:
I have a Tilt with the stock ROM and I can't find the 'Mic Volume' and the 'spk Volume' keys anywhere.

Seems that they use other keys to control these valvues, any ideas?

Thx
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xqzmee:
I found something that seems to improve the quality somewhat but I need others to verify because after playing with some many options I can not longer tell what is good and what is bad :confused:

Add the following key, by default it will NOT be there:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\SpkVolume

DWORD:10

You do not need to reset the phone what you need to do is unpair your BT device and then pair it again for the settings to take.

Please try and post results.

Thanks.....

changing this registry key to read just like this fixed my voice quality problem.

navigate to this key and type it exactly like this:"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand Path = "\Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCmd.exe"
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xqzmee:
I tried the above suggestion but no luck.

Tried without VoiceCommand installed and tried with VoiceCommand installed.

No change in quality.

Maybe someone else will have better luck.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] vasquja:
I had this key in the registry already, and it was set to 15. I increased it to 50, and the volume is comfortable for me at this level. This resolved the volume issue.

However, the metallic-like sound is still present, as is the crackle and pop. I guess that is a BT stack issue that will be resolved with an update. I'll keep my fingers crossed for that to happen :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] roverman:
I tried this, but no change. Just to make sure I did it right (i'm noobish) I made a new key under audio gateway and it showed up right under the 'devices' key. Should I have deleted my headset before I added this key?

Thank you for your help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xqzmee:
Re-adding your BT headset should be enough. Not necessary to delete before making the change.

Try soft-reset on the device.

Anyone using a Motorola BT850 with their Kaiser? I find the volume and quality much better than my Jawbone, sadly (since I am in the process of getting a custom ear piece made for it).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] roverman:
Still confused about this 'spkvolume' fix. I added key and can set dword from anywhere to 0-100 and not notice a change. Is Dword the only value that should be under that key? And is the value name of the dword also spkvolume?

Thanks for your help :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] :
I haven't noticed any change either. I did not re-pair my headset (Jawbone) but did several soft resets. When I use the jawbone to increase the volume, the headset beeps indicating that the volume should be increasing, but the actual volume (during a call) doesn't actually increase.

I'm wondering if people are just perceiving a volume increase that isn't really happening, because sure isn't happening for me.

-James
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RemE:
Agreed, "spkvolume" value changes don't seem to do anything that I can tell after re-pairing etc. The volume is simply lower, only for phone "in-call" usage, compared to the 8525 and other phones besides Kaiser.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pauljohn54:
Strange thing. I was reading the thread on the ways to extend battery life and someone suggested to change the band from Auto to GSM thus forcing off 3G and to be honest my bluetooth connection has greatly improved i.e. its louder and has more depth.

I am using a Jabra BT135 mono set. This seems somewhat odd that forcing off 3G improves my bluetooth but nevertheless its a fact. Maybe its my carrier. Who knows but thought I would share
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pauljohn54:
The other thing that I have noticed is that my signal bar is at full strength when band is set to GSM and only 2 bar when 3G is shown. Perhaps weak signal contributes to poor bluetooth. Just my observations
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] easycure1974:
I took a chance and bought it and this headset is incredible, perhaps a little bit of low volume but the sound is crystal clear !

I have to say, having used the phone both before the registry changes andd after... it HAS helped since changing it.

Its still not as loud but its fine to talk/listen even on the motorway doing the national speed limit.

I don't get it..I have done the registry hack and loaded the JETWARE extensions - repaired the headsets - still the same problems. The audio level is OK in my truck (because I can crank the volume up on system) but the audio is very tinny. On my Jawbone it is low and tinny....

Not sure what to say, I followed the instructions to Add the registry entries and tested. At first, there was no change but then I deleted and re-added the device which is a Parrot MK31000 in my car. It has dedicated volume so the stereo volume makes no difference - in other words, it really depended on the phone and whether the "issue" was fixed or not.

In my case, its fine now and am even weary of installing/trying anything else on the phone just incase I need to hard-reset the phone and the problem re-occurs again

I have a jawbone woth the Tilt and I cannot hear at all. It is much worse than my old 8525.

Also, that is the only thing I have had issue with. The Tilt is WAY better than the 8525.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] xqzmee:
If you don't have the reg entries then just create them and soft reset.

I doubt that they will make any difference. No one with the jawbone has had any success with the reg tweaks.

I suppose if I have time tonight/tom, I can make a registry file to just click on and it will make the changes (cab). Never done it before but I can't think its that difficult especially if its similar to the way you do it in Windows.

My problem is back for now - Testing something else last night and ended up hard-resetting. This time, I paired it up without the reg changes. Couldnt hear a thing above 60mph on the road so it was pointless. I'll make the change to the reg again today and try it out - will report back

Please, could you write down the reg tweaks. So I can set them by myself and testing with the values.

Thanks for the settings akash, but many of us for whatever reason don't have spk volume or mic volume in our registries. You say what the default value was, does that mean that these registries were already in your phone? Or did you create them?

What do you mean with 5-increase and 6-increase?

Umh,... thats 120 km/h. ;) It's the maximum speed here in the Netherlands.

With my other/older device (Qtek S200) I had to low the speed to about 110-120 km/h in my car, to have a normal conversation. I drive a New MINI Cooper: because the windscreen it is a noisy car. My dad has a MB E-class with the same carkit and I can drive faster and have a normal conversation.

I 've also read about Bitpool I've put this tweak out the xml-doc of KaiserTweak:

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Setting\BitPool

High value=64

Medium value=48

Low value=30

Description:It is not exactly clear what this setting does. People experiencing sound drop with a bluetooth headset report setting this to "Medium" or "Low" improves the situation.

It's possible that you 've to make these values (+add value+ on top).

I can't do test now. My car has a problem and goes to the BMW dealer, tomorrow.

I hope it isn't a big problem...

I have an At&t tilt and the sound is loud but very tinny on either my BlueAnt Z9 or Samsung WEP 200. Both of these bluetooth headsets sounded great on my HTC Touch and Dopod C730. Eventhough I prefer to keep the phone, the bluetooth issue is too serious for me. I've never had such a hard time trying to talk using a bluetooth headset. Between hearing my voice while I'm talking and the callers sounding tinny, I would say that the Tilt has a issue that must be addressed by HTC and/or At&t.

Is there a website or link where we can log our issues directly to At&t?

Changed DLL Setting - hissing decreases by 80 to 95%

Hi All,

Agree this hissing / pops is annoying... I was really surprised that the HTC TyTN II is much worse than my Dopod D810 / HTC3660 (using official HTC3660i Hong Kong / Asia released official ROM).

I managed to get a reasonable improvement on the TyTN II by doing the following:-

a) HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\

SpkVolume DWORD:80 (Note: this DWORD was missing in my ROM - so I added it along with the MicVolume DWORD:10.. maybe will need to increase this later as well...)

b) HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\

BTAGExtModule BTAGExt.dll (changing from my default setting OEMAGW.dll to the same "dll" I have on my HTC3660i ROM - namely new setting of BTAGExt.dll).

c) Changed headphones using (not BT used) from 02 brand standard for BT XA-0611 Headset to Sony MDREX55SL headphones

I must admit I can not see where these .dll are actually located (as they are not in /widows folder) and I am unsure why it is making a difference.

Perhaps someone else here knows why this is decreasing the hiss by 80 to 95% less than before for me?

Lastly:-

a) note that the headphones used also seem to play a part in the hissing a little 5% (namely more bass the headphones have - the less the hissing can be heard)... I tried a slightly better set of headphones (Sony MDREX55SL - this is mid range product - perhaps a high end one would help even more) with my 02 BT headset, rather than the default ones which come with my O2 XA-0611 Headset (yes, this headset uses a 3.5mm standard plug so is easy to change earphones, unlike the Plantronics 260 where the plug is smaller meaning an adapter is needed).

b) Different codes (ogg vs acc va Mp3 etc.) and haedphones seem to have an effect on the hissing amount a large amount (and this changed depending on headset used... my Sony MDREX55SL earplugs (better with acc files renamed m3a files to play in Mortplayer with GS Player ACC codec plugin). Sennheiser PX200 headphones (better with ".ogg" files on Mortplayer). I don't use Mp3 files sorry... ;)

Once again order GS Player and Mortplayer still produce better sound than WMP - but saying this WMP has improved from that on my HTC3660 using HK HTC3660i official ROM)... strange... but guess dlls, codecs, players, headphones all make a difference as well!!!

Overall seems this problem of hissing is something perhaps which is more "dll" based than a simple number or word rewrite for a registry key by itself...

What "dll" are others using?

Also if anyone knows where are these dlls located when one uses file explorer?

Any comments / add-on ideas also really welcome - I am a user and not a techy... unfortunately (so I am sure some of you here can add something :) )

Cheers, Asiaplay

PS: the "SpkVolume" setting only effects GSPlayer and Mortplayer for me (seems to not help with low volume on Windows Media Player as much... so guess there is a dll partly controlling that elsewhere).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dornier:
Returned my At&t Tilt today for another one and here's my update using it on the T-mobile network:

1) Using the built in speaker, the sound breaks up occasionally. It sounds like a crackle and pop, then silence. Could this a T-mobile issue?

2) Bluetooth headsets (both Blueant Z9 and Samsung WEP 200) sound very tinny still. I also here myself echo when I speak half the time.

Hardware or software issue? In either case, I hope they release an update to these issues soon, but I'm not holding my breath. I'm not sure if I should keep this thing or get a refund. What would you do?
