Observation regarding Motorola s9 headset (a2dp) and 1.0.3

[el_greene]

For some reason I'm having a Remote Control issue with Core Player & GS Player from the right side controls of the S9 (pause/play - next/prev).

Although they still work in Windows Mobile Player on the Mogul... all they do is beep when actuated in the other players.

Can anybody tell me what may be wrong?

Coreplayer's remote control via the s9 headset work fine for me. I'm using the latest version (Version 1.1.1 build 1600)


-mark

call me crazy, but after trying a number of regedits I noticed that I would get different results with same settings. I began to formalize as much a possible my start up procedures and found that with my phone and S9 headset, the following is true:

in regedit:
bitpool=58
maxbitrate=80
jointstereo=0
**no samplerate value**

start up procedure:

turn on the apache,

turn on the headphones and wait for approx 30 seconds (if you have them on your head you will hear a faint hissing when they first power up, then a faint click or pop and then no sound at all)

now start your music player (I use windows media and TCPMP) and play music.

If I stick to this procedure I never get drop outs/skipping, hissing or distortion.

Can others confirm this observation?

Let me begin by saying I'm computer illiterate so I need detailed directions. I just bought the s9 for my xv6700. Easily paired and the mono worked with making calls, but nothing when I opened my pocket player or wmp. I installed some cab files (tornado_a2dp and tor_a2dp_cert), and now the s9 recognizes the media players. First time the noise was horrific, then closed and reopened the program and you could barely make out song words. I did a soft reset and it played perfectly. I essentially replicated this this morning: first it skipped like crazy, then after a reset played almost perfect like last night but a little skipping. I've read about changing registry settings but I don't have any idea how to go about doing that. I'm running the following: 2.07.20 WWE, 1.41.00 radio version, 0041 hardware version, PRL = 50855, PRI + 1.14_002 (I don't know what that all means but I'm sure it's important). I don't know anything about the cab files I installed that worked, but found them on a June or July 2006 post. All help is welcomed!!

After trying everyones' suggestions, I finally got this thing to work without skipping for the first time while jogging.

Phone: Mogul
BT Stereo Phones: Motorola S9

in regedit:

bitpool=64
maxbitrate=128
jointstereo=0

(no samplerate value)

However, I think this issue is definitely affected by outside extraneous interference and will therefore react differntly based on the environment in which it is tested.

I guess I'll just have to continue testing and adjusting (if necessary) for now.

Thanks for everyones' help.

my experience is that the activation procedure has to be very specific for A2DP to work on the apache. For me, I turn on the head phones, turn off blue tooth on the PPC, then turn it on again, then in the blue tooth settings say "use as wireless stereo headset"...

Then it works about 50 percent of the time. If it doesn't, rinse and repeat.

Like I said, I'm computer illiterate. I want to go in and change the settings you guys have mentioned, but I don't know how. My s9 is now playing with the 6700 and sounds pretty good (almost great, actually) but I still have background hissing. How do I get to where I need to so I can check settings and make changes? Thanks!!

The background hissing won't go away. Sorry, it's a flaw in this stack.


The way to get rid of that is to Cut your volume by about about 20 percent on the PPC (not the headset) and then go to the equalizer on your music player (if your music player doesn't have an equalizer, then get a different one) and lower the treble to cut out the hiss completely.


I know, that's not ideal... but you have to remember that A2DP on this phone at all is a hack and not intended or supported by the manufacturers.

I'm using Kirvin's New C&S 3.5 1.04 and my S9 and have no problems. It sounds great and works well with the phone. Once again, great sound quality.

So I am interested in listening to music via bluetooth on my 6700, the question is do I need any special software to make this happen, or is it simply an order of operations type thing?
