To be completely honest, i've never posted on this forum, and i'm not sure whether this the right section to post this sort of thread in or not...

a few days ago i ordered a pair of MOTOROLA bluetooth stereo headphones from NEWEGG, and tried pairing them with my phone so i could play my music form it (i have an HTC 8125)

To my dismay, i was quite incapable of playing my music through my headphones, for some unknown reason to me. i promptly went online and searched for a solution to my problem

one solution i found would be to completely re-install a different type of custom firmware, over my WM5.0, THEN install another program that would to this
I decided that would be too much work, so i tried BLUECAST with windows' .NET framework 2.0

This worked, but the sound was muffled and TERRIBLE. my suggestion: NEVER USE BLUECAST

anyway, it was only a trial for bluecast and not the real thing so i only got 60 seconds of music before it quit

RIGHT as i was about to give up and return the headphones, i noticed a little bluetooth icon on the toolbar on the bottom of my screen, which was adjacent to a few other icons, all part of a program called BATTERY STATUS, which i had previously downloaded for the OVERCLOCKER to run my GBA emulator

As it is, when i clicked on the bluetooth icon, the first thing you can select is "A2DP"
When i saw this, i almost had a heart attack. i clicked it, then went to my bluetooth connections and clicked my stereo headset, and there was a third, new option: "STEREO MUSIC" (or something like that)

MORAL OF THE STORY:
Battery status can be used to enabled A2DP on my HTC 8125, and will probably work on any other phone with battery status installed

AN ADDITIONAL NOTE: i only discovered the A2DP feature of BATTERY STATUS *after* messing with some other stuff, like installing .NET framework 2.0 and some other misc. things

Hope this can help anyone else with a similar problem

you should still go for a new WM6.1 ROM. The A2DP quality of all pre-WM6 ROM's (incl. officila factory ones) is dismal with most headphones. See my related articles.

Actualluy the quality is utterly fantastic. there's nothing fuzzy about it, and i can still use the forward, reverse, pause, and play buttons on the headphones to control the music.

also, i don't know where to get the WM6.1 rom. what other features does it have better than 5.0?
