a2dp on Official WM6 (ANZ)

[grahamrb]

Does a2dp need to be enabled somehow on the official ANZ WM6 rom? or is it enabled by default? I'm thinking about going down to the shops to try out some bluetooth headphones this afternoon and want to make sure a2dp will work on my phone.

Thanks

A2dp is enabled by default. You will probably want to change the settings though. Its default as joint stereo ( MONO ) and low quality. Settings are changed in the registry or in a third party app ie trinity hack.
Good luck

Please let us know how you go BT A2DP experience?

Just make sure you try before buy or buy from a retailer who has a no questions asked return policy.

I have tried a few handsets and BT headphone combinations (never tried d810). So far I have found it is not worth the $$$..

I just use the W100 which works very well with the ANZ wm6 release.

try a blueant x5 - got mine from planet wireless- same price as ebay plus free postage it was- works great- and with the new coreplayer i can use it for all functions... sounds awesome too!!

So, do we have joint stereo = to 0 or 1? I have read it should be 1? but are you saying it should be 0?

on SEA works very good with my Sony Ericsson without touch any registry keys

Your ears should tell you, shouldn't they?

JointStereo must be set to 0.

Wrong! with the new wm releases jointstereo is fixed and you MUST have it set to 1 and remove the bitpool values in order to get high quality sound. Furthermore, you should set samplerate to 48000.

The OLDER roms should have jointstereo to 0. The way you can tell a difference is if with it set to 1 you hear 2 distinct channels.

where to set this samplerate, please?

On my P3600 if i change framerate for an higther 30, the sound cut every 5 seconds :(

If you are unfamilier with the registry you should use a tool to help make these changes, my HTCustom program can enable these a2dp changes for you. It's located here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307873

With it simply check usejointstereo and set bitpool to none on the comms tab.

In the registry itself you goto HKLM/software/microsoft/bluetooth/a2dp/settings (I think)
And remove the bitpool entries and set a new DWORD SampleRate to 48000. And make sure usejointstereo is set to 1. There are of course still some devices that are not going to work properly, but those are the correct settings for these newer roms.

I have already tried to change the value of the register, but as already said, has 48 that cut :(

A2DP on the SEA ROM is pure crap. Even with the registry settings it breaks up so often it's unplayable. I flashed back to AX3L 2.08 and A2DP is perfect again with the same settings!

Open letter to Microsoft:

Microsoft, you really need to do something about your A2DP (and Bluetooth in general) implementation. People constantly complain of cut outs while listening to music, amongst other issues. Take a look at SonyEricsson. Their K800/K790 phone doesn't have a 400Mhz+ processor in them, yet their phone can play A2DP perfectly, without skipping, and can even play the music through walls! So please do your customers a favor, contact SonyEricsson on how to properly create an A2DP driver! That is all.

Well, I went down to Organiser World yesterday to check them out (chose this store as their website stated that they had in store demos of several of the headsets). Anyway, the one I was particularly looking at was the Blueand x5 which they didn't have in stock. And just to make matters worse they didn't have any of them available for me to try out and wouldn't open a box for me to test it.
I asked the person would it work with my phone and they said they guarantee it would work. So of course my next question was if it doesn't work with my pda can I return it... no I'm afraid not was their response. At that point I walked out of the store thoroughly disappointed.

the blueant X5 works on my D810 - running Ax3l WM6 2.0.8.

Everything works great- answering calls, increasing volume, next song etc....dunno about with the offical rom though.......not trying the official rom until someone cooks it and makes it better.....

hi,

My config, with WM5 radio 1.41.00.11 :
in HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\Bluetooth_A2DP\Settings\ :
bitpool=58
maxsupportedbitpool=40
usejointstereo=0

now with WM6 radio 1.46.00.11
58
40
1

works like a charm, other config make AVCRP unavailable of very slow
