Why do you need Widcomm? Wouldn't this work just as fine:

nope, the only bluetooth stack that supports high quality audio output is the widcomm/broadcom stacks.

Has anyone tried this on the XDA mini?

the mini needs to have the widcomm bluetooth stack first, is uses the MS Bluetooth stack so no it wont work

Did you buy some stero headphones?

Does that stack include the A2D Profile?

i originally bought the HP Bluetooth Headphones for my iPAQ HX4700, but then i bought a XdaIIs, returned it after two weeks because it was too big and swapped it for a mini, but the mini does not have widcomm bluetooth stack so i cannot use the headphones. I've got a 200Eur Reward out for the person who gets the stack working on a mini.

If your device doesn't have A2DP, there's a dongle you can plug in to do the job.

Have your HP phones worked well with any PDA?

yes with any pda with the widcom bluetooth stack

Walshie, even if you managed to get the Widcomm stack working on the mini, you still can't listen to music thru the headphone since both IIs and mini doesn't support anything other than voice calls on the headsets?? Am I wrong????

I'd like to have Widcomm BT stack too. The Microsoft one doesn't allow LAN BT connection :cry:

There's a difference between Bluetooth headphones (stereo headsets that are A2DP compliant) and Bluetooth headsets (lower audio quality HSP compliant). The Widcomm stack and Broadcom stacks will allow A2DP and HSP if you have it installed on your HTC Magician or HTC Blue Angel. The Blue Angel has the Broadcom stack which is now A2DP compliant. The Magician however is still missing the Broadcom and Widcomm stacks, hence you can only use HSP, and a few other profiles. Walshie wants the Widcomm or Broadcom stack so he can use his HP BT headphones with his Magician. It's a tough crack.

yes it is a tough crack, also the widcomm bluetooth stack i've found to be more stable and has more functions available to use. Also bluetooth keyboard which the MS stack does not support.

yes you are wrong there, once the widcomm stack is installed it will stream all voice, audio, music from the mini to the A2DP headphones you have.

I don't think the Widcomm/Broadcomm stack is the answer, since it obviously can't handle whatever Bluetooth radio is used in the Magician. As far as I know, the only other stack that anyone has managed to get working is the Toshiba one, but it won't stay on if the device goes into standby. At this point, I'm really starting to get digusted at the whole thing. I can't understand why Bluetooth on PPC devices is so retarded, when it works just fine in phones.

the widcomm stack can work if we get the driver memory problem sorted out, because the IIs has more memory it can assign more driver memory to the system for the widcomm stack to work. We need to find the unnecessary drivers running on the mini and remove them, its trial and error bacisally

Walshie, out of interest have u managed to get ur headphones working on a desktop or laptop using a bluetooth dongle?

I've got an o2 mini and hanging out for a solution to this problem too.

[Anonymous]

fwiw I have a pair of the Blue take ones and I can run them through my XDA IIs, with the hack. They also work on my Ipaq 5550 with the patch. They seem to be much better on the Ipaq, as the range is appalling on the XDA.

But they do work.

walshi, i don't think its a mem issue... the core bt of the xda mini and the xda2/2s/2i/3 is totally different.. the xda mini uses some kind of usb driver for bt, that's why the toshiba stack works.
but the toshiba stack has got such a bad quality when using bt headsets - it's terrible.

does the toshiba stack support a2dp?

Ignore my post, i c it doesn't :cry:

I have just bought a pair of Blueant BT stereo headphones. They come with their own USB BT dongle and work great for streaming audio from Media Player on my laptop and will work for VOIP services such as Skype.
They also seem to work well as a normal BT headset however I can't listen to music from my o2 XDA mini as I understand the current microsoft BT stack doesn't support this. Looks like I have the same request as other in this thread.....any news? I noticed there is a new OS upgrade available on www.seeo2.com does this upgrade the BT drivers?
