Does anyone know whether its possible for Stereo sound with the version of Bluetooth on the JasJar?
It has Bluetooth version 1.2, someone told me that Stereo was only supported in Bluetooth version 2.0.
However, after some investigation I now think that this is actually not version specific, but rather whether the OS supports A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile). WM5 does support A2DP.
So, I think that it will actually work on the Jasjar, my question is, has anyone tried it and can confirm that it does work? WHat headsets are you using?
Sorry guys, currently bluetooth v1.1, not v1.2 as I stated earlier..
New ROM should be out soon for Universal that will allow this - it's currently in testing right now, but should be out before March.
So to answer your question: No, not yet, but soon.
That soon is six months now.......
We are waiting for Win CE update since forever. It has not chnaged since the phone started shipping (see the build numbers)
Only German roms seem to have been updated - but whats the use - we dont understand German.
Smile for buying a beta phone.
Naw.. last year they said it was coming in 2006. This year theyve been saying its coming in March since January. So as long as it really does come out in March theyll have kept to their word.
Any news? :/ i want some damn stereo
I thought that upgrading the radio stack to 1.0.6 (or I believe 1.0.8 is now available at Buzz's site) allowed you to use stereo Bluetooth? I'm sure I saw it in a thread here somewhere....
Edit: Sorry, must've been dreaming. Can't find anything that comes close to backing this up!
XXXXXXX,
Thank you for your email.
The new AKU-2 service pack released by Microsoft is currently being tested by o2, we currently have enough testers testing this service but thanks for your interest.
Unfortunately we have no timescales when this will be available to our customers, I would recommend periodically checking our XDA Exec website at http://www.my-xda.com/xdaexec_soft.html for more information.
If you have any further problems, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
Many thanks

Latest info I could get from O2 on the AUK 2 update.
can anyone confirm what sub69 says?
Buzz has the AKU2 stereo patch but has been asked not to distribute it.

oh damn, if anyone got it please give me a pm

I know that it doesn't mention support for XDA, but it is a patch for Windows Mobile 2003, so it may just work. Has anyone tried it?
http://www.handango.com/PlatformPro...92&platformId=2&productType=2&productId=88989
Headset works fine in the XDA II
I miss the point, headset works fine, it's handsfree that we are missing.
I doubt you should attempt to load the patch.
Regards
Michael
WARNING. Don't try it. I lost sound after I loaded that "patch". It doesn't work with XDA II.
Fortunately I wanted to update my ROM to the Dangaard ROM anyway....
This is just for PDA's not having bluetooth headset profiles (Just for listening to music and the likes).
As mentioned, what we need is the handsfree profile to be implemented, How long will it take?
someone is working on it I think....... :wink:
I guess than means I didn't actually understand the bluetooth problem correctly.
Incidentally, I called O2 to find out if there is any news on when the update will be released, and was told 'it should be the end of this month, but don't quote me on that'.

I have installed the patch(es) that 'Horsy' mentioned and my TomTom, BT200 (23B) and activesync all now work, headset capabilities to come! Definitely worth a paypal donation!
the site is very slow, try this
http://bluetooth.i-networx.de
Well I've installed it, and it doesn't seem to have broken anything, but I haven't had a chance to test it properly yet.
Now if only we could get the handsfree problem sorted!
Does anyone have an update from O2 on the availability of the ROM upgrade for BT profiles? It's been nearly 3 months that they've been saying "any day now ...."!
Hey, i know how you feel. Ive only had my XDA2 since the end of February and its driving me nuts waiting for a ROM update to fix the Bluetooth problems... :evil:
by the way, how do you know the ROM update WILL actually fix the Bluetooth in the XDA2 ? have you read it somewhere ? :?
Yes, you do have a point there :?
O2 backup and support for XDA is useless
O2 is haphazard at the least in its updates and general support for the XDA well at least in the Uk they are so dont hold your breath.
The new website for example is a nightmare for getting information out of and as for support on the phone they pass you to xda warranty repairs.
have you tried pocket bluetooth tools? (http://www.angeltowns.com/town/bluetooth/) i THINK it claims to fix the BT stack problems. . . but i'm not so sure . . . maybe you dont have to wait for an upgrade =)
hope this helps.
Cheers,
Carlo
bluetooth tools works ok, its the only way i can get my gps to work
Pocket Bluetooth tools works fine, but it doesnt let me use the Bluetooth to send files or phonebook contacts as theres no profiles for it to happen in the current version.
I emailed the author about a month ago and didnt get a reply. I emailed him again last week and got an automated email saying he was on vacation until the end of March.
Im starting to wonder if he's having problems with his next version which he said he'd like to support file and contact transfers.
I doubt he is having problems, bearing in mind its a free program and takes many many hours of programming and effort I would assume he is a busy man. Even the makers of Navman suggest using his path which leads me to believe that he could charge a lot of money for his programming skills. It would be much better if O2 addressed the problem instead taking into account the fact that they released a crippled and brain damaged product to market.
Amen
I spent 3 hours installing 1.60 last night and reconfiguring the machine. Does it improve anything for headset and handsfree profiles? No. bog all. Handshaking with a CK3000 is now even worse.
Waste of b****y time.
I've been waiting for AKU2 ever since it was announced back around Christmas. It finally got released from Imate today and after flashing my KJAM there is still no Stereo Headset profile??? What gives? Anybody know why it's not there, I thought this was supposed to be one of the big features of AKU2 besides push mail?
I read on another forum (I only quickly looked, honest, this is the only forum for me) that the A2DP profile caused the device to slow down too much and they were removing it for that reason. When I read it it was just a rumor but it looks like they were correct.
I dare say after some more tweaking that it will return as the slowdown only occurs when the profile is active.
If you really need it use the Qtek 2.8.x.x rom on the FTP server as it is very stable if not fully optimised.
Well, that sounds like a reasonable explanation. Given that the Wizard is barely 200mhz and A2DP is a CPU hog. But DANG IT, they should have released it and just had a pop up warning or something,"Performance may be impacted during music playback via the Bluetooth headset." Or something at least. I don't mind if the PPC is sluggish while I'm listening to Podcasts! ARGH!
I heard the Qtek ROM was kinda buggy. I'm not sure I want to flash to something that's gonna make my phone unstable all the time. Have you used that ROM?
I am using the Qtek aku2. Its far from buggy.
As far as i can say they could have made it general available.
Using the Qtek ROM as well [just got a pair of stereo BT headsets yesterday] and I don't see any performance issues as well. Maybe it also depends on what you have installed on your device. I probably won't be updating the imate ROM if it doesn't have a2dp. I don't need the push email but I am enjoting the BT music streaming heehee
Try out the Qtek ROM it might be ok for your device.

No offense but you seem to be saying imate should have released it with A2DP bugs, but you don't want to use the qtek beta because it might have bugs. Err make your mind up dude.
I don't think sluggish performance using A2DP is necessarily a bug. Given that the processor is only 200mhz and streaming 128kbps stereo audio over Bluetooth is processor intensive, it's probably just the nature of the beast. It may turn out that Qtek will remove A2DP from their final ROM as well after they get feedback about the beta firmware.
Do you guys know if the Qtek beta ROM fixed the Storage Card disconnecting issue? Because the KJAM AKU2 update has finally resolved this issue for me. I can leave programs open on the storage card and turn the device off and on and the programs don't crash out anymore.
Can you please post a WORKING link to the QTEK9100 AKU2 Test ROM with the working A2DP? The ones I've found are not working. Otherwise, can someone arrange to email it to me?
Has anyone here tried the QTEK9100 AKU2 ROM on an unlocked US Tmobile MDA?
i was also pretty annoyed that A2DP had been left out of this update as i had bought myself a set of stereo bluetooth headphones for xmas in anticipation of the update and now they will continue to sit on a shelf gathering dust.
I thought why not email i-mate - [email protected] - and ask them. To tell you the truth i was not expecting an answer (or at least not for several days) as with my previous experiences.
Well i was pleasantly surprised (amazed even) that i-mate replied to my email within 3 hours. They said:
Thank you for your E-mail. Regarding your query, please note that our engineers are working to integrate the A2DP profile on Windows Mobile 5 devices via ROM upgrades but we do not have yet any information or release date for this update hence, we would suggest that you keep a regular check on the www.clubimate.com for further information about new upgrades, releases and services.

I thought this is cool but wanted confirmation that A2DP would be released as an update for the K-JAM and current devices and not just future / new devices so i asked them to confirm this for me, This time i recieved a reply within minutes:
Thank you for your E-mail. Regarding your query, we confirm that A2DP update will be soon released for K-JAM.

Overall i must say this was the best support experience i have ever had from i-mate. Maybe they are listening to us after all. Of course no timeframes as is the i-mate way but it does look promising for us.

wow! :shock: when I owned an i-mate JAM I waited for 2 weeks until I got a reply. I guess i-mate is learning to treat their customers better... too bad I already switched to dopod and since Manila has a very small difference in time [dopod's singapore office - I think a few hours] I usually get replies within the day... still like i-mate dopod has no timeline and answers with the generic lines...

De Ja Vu... with a different company ey :wink:
Theres been a few recent posts around here and other forums speculating exactly why A2DP did not make it into the recent i-mate update.
Some of these posts have been suggesting that the A2DP 128k audio stream is too resource intesive for the Wizard's 200MHz Ti Omap850 CPU.
So, i thought i would ask one of the Microsoft Mobility guys on his MSDN Blog to see if he could confirm this. Whilst he was not actually able to tell us the reason of the hold up, he has confirmed its not likely to be the CPU: Read his Blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/jasonlan/archive/2006/03/02/542036.aspx
Jason Langridge - Chris - no that's not accurate - I have it running on other devices with similar CPU specifications. re: A2DP - Ultimately it's an i-mate decision what is/isn't included in their releases.

============
I also own imate kjam and want to use Motorola HT 820 bluetooth headset. Form this thread it looks that if I install Qtek ROM on imate then I'd be able to use this headset.
CAn i get the link to download Qtek ROM?
Thans is advance
Hi, but i don't understand if is possible put inside qtek 9100 the A2DP and AVRCP. How?
I have buy bth-820 and i can't use
Thanks
PS: now i can!
hi, I just bought an Atom Pure. I have a question and thanks in advance for help. When I listen to the MP3 using my headset, I can hear a popping noise in the background and it is very annoying. But after I softreset, the noise seems to go away. It will came back again if I use the phone and then listen to MP3.
I tried to hard-reset and the popping noise still there. Then, I went to the retailer to try out another Atom Pure English Version, the same "problem" is also on the second Pure Atom.
On May 2nd, I then phoned the O2 customer/technical support and report to them the problem. They responded to me as there has been no report of above mentioned problem by other users with ATom that has the 20060123 ROM. I will be talking to the manager of the O2 technical support tomorrow. I will update you all asap.
So far, the Atom is a good piece of hardware, in my mind, it is better than 818pro. However, the Atom software is the problem which O2 is working hard to update.
Do update us on whatever goes on with your Pure.
I am surprised O2 shipped this device with that ROM we are crying about :twisted:
Hi, Ultra4 and the team out there...thanks for the support (at least spiritually !!)
Yes, I got the call back from the O2 tech supt mgr and he confirmed that the popping noise is a bug and he got quite a bit of complains from others as well on this. He confirmed that there will be a new ROM update in mid June to resolve this. I guess this is the 0414 version that everybody is "hot and heavy" on these days...but he will not confirm nor he doesn't suggest me downloading the "not for sale" version. Of course he has to say that due to beauracracy standpoint.
Anyway...this is what I have so far....but now, a "itchy" question from me to you'all .... should I take this product back to the retailer (bought 3 days ago) and exchange for another brand ? such as EtenM600, etc.. any thoughts/advise ? I love and have been using the O2 products all the way back from the XDA years...so, II, IIi, IIs, Mini....etc.. and now the disappointing Atom....the Ad say...Pure Atom...but I say...Pure Disappointment..
Whatever suits you
Well, if that "pop" sound gets under your skin then trade it in.
I used the Atom from the first day it was launched with more problems than just what you described. I stuck it out and with each ROM upgrade it got better. At least I know O2 is working on fixing this problem and continually releasing the updates.
now ... I wonder how long DOPOD has to wait just to get the STEREO bluetooth ... manufacturer not doing anything about upgrading firmware ?
I prefer a company that keeps improving and supporting their product.
So, I have searched all over these forums, and cannot find a difinitive answer or solution. I have problems with A2DP when connecting w/ the BT in my car, since installing a 2.1 ROM (currently DC 2.09.01). When connected, the music plays about twice as fast as it should, then slows down, then speeds up again. Conversley, Android 1.5 worked fine. There has been a lot of talk of BT issues, but it doesn't appear there are any solutions. Am I correct, or has someone found a solution? THanks.
ZenEXP works if you dont mind switching.
I have had those problems occasionally with all 2.1 ROMs I have tried. Usually, if I pause and then unpause it solves the problem. Sometimes I have to do it more than once.
I'm currently running ZenEXP and I've had the problem a few times, but it has been significantly less than with other ROMs. However, AVRCP hasn't been working with ZenEXP, whereas it has worked on other 2.1 ROMs, such as DC.
So, with the unrooted stock Sprint 2.1 software, A2DP works?
The Darchdroid ROM actually fixes this problem! I had the exact same problem as you with playing audio in my 2010 Mazda 3 and Darchstar's ROM fixed it for me, it's the only ROM I have found so far that fixes the bluetooth
I have a problem with my bluetooth headset when I'm playing music, the music stutters alot, I almost have to hold my phone a certain way with very little movement in order for it to play decently. Any solutions on that problem?

Turn off/disconnect headset while playing music fixes studdering for me in settings under bluetooth for the connected device. Disconnect the ' phone' while playing. Haven't really tested this on anything but my kenwood head unit.

here's a reply I received from HTC support:
Hello, I understand that you have had issues with your bluetooth since the update for your Hero. With the update, the entire bluetooth stack was updated, and thus some bluetooth devices that previously worked are unfortunately no longer compatible. While we have not heard any information about nor made announcements about any upcoming patches to address this, it is not at all out of the realm of possibility. Otherwise, you may want to try a different bluetooth headset. I do apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us again. You can find additional support at support forums at community.htc.com. There is also a customer satisfaction survey for you to take if you are interested.

Bluetooth Stack?
So is it possible for one of the developers on this site to rewrite the bluetooth stack or copy the old one from 1.5 that worked?
I have a Panasonic TH12 bluetooth home phone that worked fine before 2.1. I recently bought an AT&T bluetooth phone and it does the same thing. Will pair but not connect.

I have to call BS on this. (Not on the post, on the reply)
Why would any company not support legacy hardware as simple as Bluetooth. Especially since most devices aren't even Bluetooth v3/v4 standard yet. And Bluetooth 2.1 is 1. Not very old and 2. What 90% of Bluetooth device still manufactured are! and its been around since 2006!
I honestly can't believe a company is going to just say "Oh its to old" instead of fixing their crap. as far as I know v3/v4 is fully backwards compatible to 2.1 because they include "Classic Bluetooth" protocols!
Not to mention I doubt the hardware in our phone is even capable of v4 stuff. I'll have to do some more research on what BT chip is in the phone. Utter BS.
Either Phillip or HTC is a moron.
CDMA Hero Specs for BT:
Supported Profiles: HSP 1.1, HFP 1.5, A2DP, AVRC, (OPP, PBA)
version 2.0+EDR / possibly upgradeable to 2.1+EDR, plus OPP and PBA profiles
2.1 FULLY backwards compatible to v1. Meaning HTC built the crappiest BT Stack allowable by law to say it includes it. May as well have not bothered.
Someone could probably redo things with AOSP and a newer bluez stack.

Yeah, I just bought a BT USB adapter so I could exchange files and synch and stuff. I got it to work ONE time and all it did was pass 200 of my contacts to my phone from my PC. Like it was just waiting to upchuck on me. After that, nothing.
There's three hours of my life and $8.99 I'll never get back.
Bluetooth is pretty much the #1 complaint that users have been posting on the Sprint Community Forums (here's the HTC Hero section). Nearly all of those complaints say that Bluetooth now doesn't work at all or just plain sucks on the stock 2.1 Sprint/HTC release. Which probably also means that any ROM here based on 2.1 stock will also suck it up bad with Bluetooth compatibility. Known problem, no one has done anything about it yet. It sounds like AOSP ROMs don't have this issue, so at least that's good.
