[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] e-thug:
Ok, so I finally got into the smartphone game to get a better music streaming experience. MFRadio and MFScorn just weren't cutting it for me anymore. I hated the skips and the ridiculously long (and repeated) buffering time. So I first looked at Android phones but went with WinMo because they say you can run both OS's with WinMo (and the only Android offering from AT&T has a 12-hour standby time before the battery dies, according to reviews).

I have a Bluetooth head unit and have had over a dozen phones paired with it. This phone however is a completely different story. I have installed the latest "release" from AT&T (from a thread on this site). At first I tried streaming with the bundled Windows Media Player which apparently doesn't stream anything at all (with both the bundled and downloaded releases of the OS), then downloaded TCPMP. TCPMP is everything I have ever dreamed of in a streaming media player, but the only problem I have with it is that it won't connect to a stream unless I have already opened up a browser window and went to a website. Not the end of the world.

So, I get in my truck and initiate pairing to the phone. It sees the head unit as a Hands-free and as Stereo Audio. I can get it to connect for a split second and then it dies. I get a popup notification that tells me that the phone cannot control volume when paired to the bluetooth device and audio must be adjusted from the device itself. Fine. But then it doesn't work at all. At first, I wanted to blame TCPMP until I realized that nothing at all was working with the head unit. I think I got it to work once but it never worked again.

So is there any way to fix this problem? This is the one thing I wanted working on my new phone. Yes, the notifications that my texts were successfully sent are very annoying (as well as the other notifications), and yes, Windows Media Player for Mobile is useless, but the fact that I can't stream Bluetooth audio on this phone really makes this phone worthless to me. Didn't anyone bother testing this stuff before releasing this garbage? The Tilt is a paperweight to me right now because it can't do the one thing I want it to do the most. I might as well go back to my Sony Ericsson W760a at this point!

What can I do? I have not yet unlocked anything (although I have a SIM unlock code waiting) and have not yet flashed Hard-SPL. My phone has Bluetooth for Windows Mobile Version 1.9.2 Build 600 HCI Version 4.84. I'd do anything at this point to get this working. Windows Mobile is not that precious to me either. PLEASE HELP!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hitekredneck:
Hmmmm .... I don't believe you ever stated what type of headset you are trying to get working here? I find your problem to be very strange, even though WinMo does seem to be lacking in a lot of different areas, audio streaming via bluetooth stereo headset is definitely not a problem I have encountered. It even streams flawlessly through my 5.1 hooked to my pc via a crappy 8 buck bt dongle and still sounds excellent. Have you considered that the problem may lie with your bt headset itself?

Also, when you say that you installed latest "release" from AT&T (from a thread on this site), what exactly do you mean? I am running the "unofficial" leaked rom from AT&T on mine and I just paired my Motorola S9 stereo headset and it is playing great for me. You also may want to try using some different software, give S2P (Slide 2 Play) a try and see if you have different results. That's what I am using right now, but I have used TCPMP to play a few xVids through my headset and have had no problems.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] e-thug:
The problem is not in the head unit. 25 other phones can't all be wrong. I have no problem using my bluetooth headset. That is probably why you don't see the problem. Anything more complex than a headset will not work with this release. The problem lies within the phone as soon as it displays a notification (which, of course I cannot disable) which reads, "The connected Bluetooth headset does not support volume adjustment from the device. Adjust volume on the headset itself."

That message is the kiss of death. So basically any Bluetooth head unit will not work with this phone? Sounds like shoddy programming to me. Yes, I am using the "leaked" release. I really don't think this release will ever see the light of day. Its horrible! You cannot disable notifications (I don't need to know when my text messages were sent successfully), and it looks like whenever I get a system notification, any program I am using crashes immediately. Like I said before, as soon as I get a notification, I lose the Bluetooth connection (which is like a split second before the notification comes up). I highly doubt this "leaked" copy will ever see the light of day, officially (unless AT&T and HTC do absolutely zero testing on it).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] e-thug:
A little clarification for those who don't know... when I say "head unit" I'm talking about a Bluetooth-enabled car stereo and when I say "headset" I mean a Bluetooth headset
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
My Tilt 2 works absolutely fine with all my BT devices, including 2 Motorola headphone sets and my Sony Xplod head unit in my truck.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hitekredneck:
I was mis-understanding you about the head unit, I did think you were talking about a headset. Sorry bout that, my Mustang doesn't have built-in BT so I have to use a Motorokr t505 for those chores. It works well but it does give me the same message that you are getting about "volume can't be cotrolled etc" but I can dismiss it and carry on without any problems.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ChumleyEX:
Since you don't need your phone for calls, just get Sirius or XM. Ya know, considering you only stream music through the phone..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Did you try the BT headset or head unit with the original stock ROM before you flashed the "leaked official" ROM?

Seems like you might have a couple random issues, with the BT issues and the system notifications crashing programs. I haven't flashed the leaked ROM, but I do know that many random issues with cooked ROMs can often be cleared up by running Task29, which completely wipes the phone memory before you flash a new ROM. I think you will need to HardSPL before you run Task29. Might be worth a try, sometimes fragments of the old ROM interfere with the new one, and cause some bugs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] hx4700 Killer:
Bluetooth protocols can be implemented differently by different manufacturers.

I know of many people including myself who have NO PROBLEM with the tilt 2 and different Bluetooth products INCLUDING car radios.

I am using the "new" AT&T ROM and have no difficulties.

Clearly your pissed but your subject is wrong. I would suggest changing to "Worthless as $HIT to ME"
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] e-thug:
I think my problem is that I am getting notifications which seem to be killing my connection. Is there a way to turn all notifications OFF? The only ones I care about are missed calls, incoming SMS and maybe a birthday. I would like to try to kill the notifications first because I think this may solve my problem
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
You can get yourself a free reg editor (like Total Commander) and apply the following tweaks to modify the notifications:

SMS sent notification: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/24/enable-or-disable-the-sms-text-message-sent-notification-bubble/

Other notifications: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/24/tweak-and-configure-how-notifications-work-in-windows-mobile-notifications/

Although, this sounds like a band-aid just hiding a deeper problem. What you are describing is not typical behavior, and this is something else going on.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] e-thug:
Thanks I will try these out and report back

For the record my head unit is a JVC KD-BT11 and I have never had any kind of problem pairing any other phone
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Somebody else just posted a very similar issue, and found the app hAndyUtils to be helpful:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=741311

I think hAndyUtils might just be a app-based way to make the reg edits I posted earlier. But give it a try.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] yatrg:
I scanned through the topic and did not see anyone mention this so I thought I would add my .02. The Tilt 2 is different than many other WM phones when it comes to bluetooth as it contains the Widcomm BT stack instead of the MS stack. (Just as an aside, on all my past phones, there were people bemoaning the the fact that it had MS, and trying to replace it with the Widcomm, so I am getting a real chuckle out of folks complaining about the Widcomm and wishing for MS :) )

In any case, the utilities (Blue music toggle etc...) that used to work for me to toggle between streaming in stereo and plain phone qulity no longer work. However, all my stereo headsets (I own three different brands/pairs) all work perfectly with the Tilt 2. And stay connected and streaming all day.

By the way, coming on a forum that is full of people helping each other and using profanity, anger and threats, is not the most conducive way to get your questions answered. The odds are that the problem you are having is already solved somewhere among the 6+ million posts in this forum. I do not know where or I would post it for you, but it is probably out there. Good luck. And if you find it, please post the link to the answer back here so that other serchers will find it too.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tnt23:
maybe it can come from the phone itself

i had a rhodium for almost a year and never got my motorola headset ht820 to work well enough for me to use it... (more skips than music...cant move my head without a skip)

i flashed to a NRG rom before trying my headset...i tried eveything as far as ref setting, different radios...even flashed my ht820...

no improvement...

then my phone fell in water not so long ago...got another rhodium same model (european)...and it worked perfect out the box on stock rom i can go in a different room than my device and still hear music with no skips...and it still does with nrg rom and latest radio...

so my guess is maybe some actual devices have bad bluetooth hardware ???
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
I have the Motorola S9 and the HT820 and both work absolutely fine on my Tilt 2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] e-thug:
Can I change my Bluetooth stack to MS? I have installed Hard-SPL and have experimented with cooked ROMs to no avail.

I sent the phone back to AT&T, went to Trinidad & Tobago for a few weeks and came home to a new Tilt 2 waiting at my doorstep (which could have been stolen by anyone!) and I am still having the same problem. So I guess I sent back a perfectly good phone!

I would love to try some different Bluetooth stacks if possible. Where do I go from here?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] dwboston:
Did you ever try the solution in this thread? It fixed a lot of issues people were having with bluetooth car kits. Maybe it will work for you: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=591322

The solution source is here: http://www.everythingwm.com/forum/moto-q-9c/q9c-and-infiniti-g35x-bluetooth-problem-16833-4.html

And here is the solution. You need a registry editor to do this:

1. Modify the HandsFree plug-in:

HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\HandsFree

i. Change SupportedFeatures to 45 (default is 1135)

ii. Add value HFBDA binary, set to same value as LastConnectedBda

iii. Add value HFDeviceType decimal 2

2. Modify the WIDCOMM bluetooth general settings:

HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\BtConfig\General

i. Change bdaddr to (no value)

ii. Change (or add if not there) DisableReopenAudio to 0 (default is 1)

3. Reboot device

You may also want to do the A2DP quality registry edit: Add a DWORD value of LineSpeed to HKLM\Software\WIDCOMM\Plugin\AV\ with a value of 320.

Give it a try, it may work for you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] e-thug:
I will give this a try and report back. Thank you very much for the response!

The gallery app in sense is faster then the 3g gallery app in aosp froyo(never thought I would say sense is faster). It's slow in loading images(even worse with large images), doesn't like to refresh the folders when I add new images, hates to load large folders.

Is there a replacement app I can use and get rid of the 3d gallery?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TREYisRAD:
I -hate- the 3D Gallery. The Eclair 2D gallery was much better.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intensentropy:
Yesterday my roommate decided that he wanted to join the party and root his Evo after seeing the pure unfiltered awesomeness of mine, but he ran into a problem. While trying to flash a custom recovery he kept getting the an error message about a "bad block 000x0000010000" or something similar. So, unless I'm way off, I told him he must have bad handset hardware.

Well, he decided to take the phone back to the Sprint store and see if he could talk them into swapping one out due to the defect. They said no, because after running whatever tests it is that they do that there wasn't a reproducible problem. The sales person did say though, that if his phone were to "unexpectedly crash" then he would easily just replace it.

So... my question at this point, is there a way to get around this "bad block" error, or is there a way to brick the phone without it being obvious that anything voiding the warranty was done? I searched the forums about this error, but everything if found said they eventually got it to work by trying different recoveries, or they swapped out the phone. We have a tried a few different recoveries, but none are working and we have tried more times than I can count.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rekphiv:
Its fraud. Nobody on this forum is likely to help you since its BS claims like that which caused the deductible to raide to $100.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intensentropy:
I understand how one could see it that way, but the way my roommate sees it is that he was sold a bad device. I don't know, I'm not here to argue semantics nor ethics, I'm just wondering if anyone has some advice for the guy. We would prefer to just keep the phone if we can manage to get the device working the way we would like.

Have you tried flashing eng build and flashing recovery from bootloader?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intensentropy:
we flashed the engineering build through the bootloader but not the recovery. The method we used to flash recovery was though adb. we'll take a look and see if we have any better luck. my roommate said that he read something about using fastboot, but I'm not sure about that. We'll give it a try.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrx4memp:
Just be careful not to run out of power "accidentally" while flashing a new radio... that could have devastating effects on phone usage... "Hint... Hint..."

though i highly doubt that your friends problem lies with the phone itself... should try to redo all the steps... and if you can repeat the error post more details on here...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intensentropy:
lol, we are running though the whole process again right now. Thanks for the suggestion, though we are trying to avoid such a devastating event. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intensentropy:
Well... Thanks for all your suggestions! We got everything to finally work though. I don't know why I didn't think of it earlier but we tried the simple root method and let the automated process handle all the labor. We got the exact same error with this method, but the program recognized the issue and moved the recovery to a section with no bad blocks. Doing it manually didn't allow for us to chose a different section to write to. :( Donation can be expected from my roommate! Thanks for the great application!

it looks like the animation is stored in /system/media/video/shutdown as a series of PNG's

Alternatively you could replace the PNG's with your own animation. I might try it later tonight.

rename the file just in case you want it back
