A2DP support is really limited!

I have a Motorolla S9 A2DP headset. I have used it for years to get wireless stereo from my PC.
Now that the iPod Touch has the support, I bought a second identical headset to use it for workouts. (Only $25, shipped from ebay!)
The headset was able to be discovered easily and it works fine for basic music reception. But there are 3 major omissions from the support that I would have expected.
The most obvious one is that the 'track change' buttons are not supported. This ***** because you cannot just touch the headset to bump to the next song.
I tried to watch some video's and there is a serious sync problem. There is a latency issue where the music and the actions don't match - makes it almost unwatchable. I would have thought that testing would have forced them to have an adjustable latency delay for the video.
The microphone doesn't work. Yeah... I know that's not 'headphones' but come on guys.... if it works for the iPhone then why not open it up for the iTouch!
Some of things that I really like are obviously the lack of wires! Wonderful! Also the battery life is still really good. I can do a 1 hour lunchtime workout using the bluetooth and have virtually no battery used.

latency and bluetooth are hand in hand.. that will always exist. The problem is that apple didn't think far enough ahead to let us set a lag compensation for video playback.. they could have even built in a .5 second delay for video and it would be in sync for 98% of us.
You don't detect it in music, the lag.. because you can only tell when you track forward/back hit play/stop.
Yes though VERY annoyed at this bluetooth implementation. I went and bought a brand new touch (because my iphone 2g get's no stereo bluetooth, unlike the phone i upgraded from 2 years ago..) It's like they didn't even try...
Very common, connects, works, disconnects... never works again..

  • A2DP Support

    I am new to this forum so excuse my ignorance. I purchased a stereo headset motorola s9 before I realized that the iphone will not support A2DP yet. One of the reasons I bought the phone. The motorola will not play music over the headset. I have found a work around with a sony bluetooth adapter. The adapter of course takes battery power from the phone and the volume levels are what I would consider marginal. Does anyone know when or if apple plans on supporting A2DP and when? I paid good money for the phone and now for the adapters, headset, ect... and really think a legitimate answer wouldn't be too much to ask.

    Welcome to the forums!
    Unfortunately, as we are all end users here there is no way for anyone to know when or if Apple plans to implement A2DP support on the iPhone. Apple never comments to these posts so the answer you won't get the answer you seek here. Likewise, Apple rarely announces feature enhancements before an upgrade so it is unlikely you will get an answer from them either.
    While I understand your frustration about the lack of this feature, Apple never promoted the iPhone as having stereo blue tooth capabilities. The fact that you paid good money on the phone before you did a solid search of its feature set is just a lesson learned.

  • Anyone check A2DP support in 1.1.4?

    Anyone with the Motorola S9 or similar device check out A2DP support? Thanks in advance.

    Anyone who really wants to use the MotoRokr S9 BT Stereo headphones, should check out this device I purchased (Motorola TenTechnology NaviPlay). It works well with the iphone, despite having to attach a seperate device. I use it for everything including calls, and the quality is impressive both for music and calls. The trick to it is during the initial sync to the phone, then to the adapter. The best approach to using the dongle correctly for calls and music, is to 1st sync the headset to the phone for standard function. Next, plug in the adapter, answer no the the Error Message about no support, then put the device and headset in sync mode, and wait for the dongle to flash fast green. When both the phone and the device is connected to the headset, all the controls on the S9 work well. Now the next time you goto use the dongle, before connecting it turn on the S9, let it autosync to the phone, then plugin and turn on the dongle, answer no again to the error msg, and wait for the dongle to autosync to the S9. In essence, you only really need to sync the S9, iPhone and dongle once, as all 3 devices keep memory of previously synced devices, but don't forget to let the S9 sync to the phone 1st, before connecting and powering on the dongle

  • A2DP Support for Nokia ASHA

    I am so disappointed by the recent Nokia ASHA phones with keypads (non-touchscreens). I could not believe that none of these phones supported A2dp, and what's baffling is that most websites and blog sites would say that these phones would have A2DP support, but it really does not have. I have a Philips SHB 9100 bluetooth stereo headset, and it's disappointing that I wasted money in buying these two phones below:
    1. I bought Nokia 112. It's a great small classic phone that is not fancy looking. It has bluetooth 2.1, edge, and dual sim. But even though it has bluetooth, it doesn't support A2dp. I sold Nokia 112 for 40% less it's original price, even though I bought it on the same day.
    2. . I then bought NOKIA ASHA 206, hoping that this will have A2dp, but it doesn't have! I'm surprised. So I sold it too.
    3. I decided to check on Nokia Asha 202 before buying it, but I'm surprised it also doesn't have A2dp.
    Are there still basic phones out there that support A2dp? I have a Nokia Xpress Music 5320, it's small and it has A2dp!

    The Nokia 301 supports A2DP 1.2

  • No A2DP support for Nokia N80!

    I just wonder why Nokia can't add support for A2DP in the new firmware for Nokia N80ie cellphone. =(
    I just uppdatet my phone in hope of getting somewhere,but it was pointless.
    It would be pretty nice if i could use my N80 as a real media centre with my Jabra BT 620s bluetooth headset but no way.
    I am just intrested why not, i have read som discussions in this forum and other N phones did get their uppdates with A2DP support . Or am i wrong. Am i doing somethig wrong and cant get this to work?

    A2DP and AVRCP does not require additional hardware for bluetooth 1.2 and above. It is based purely on software simulation.
    Nokia can support A2DP in nokia n80. but battery could be an issue. Initial prototype of N80 had bluetooth 2 but then it was downgraded to 1.2 !!!

  • Does A2DP support in leopard mean A2DP driver for Vista on MBP?

    Would love to have A2DP bluetooth support for my MBP, and I know it's coming next month. Also next month in leopard is the official release of Boot camp and therefore I should imagine a full bunch of windows drivers for the MBP. My question is, if they are bunging A2DP support into leopard do you think the bluetooth drivers written for windows will also include it? I mainly run Vista on my MBP (not out of choice, but you try getting Visual Studio to run on OSX).

  • Nokia N91 8GB A2DP support 3rd Party Stereo Bluet...

    Hi...
    Can Anyone confirm that does Nokia N91 8GB's A2DP(stereo Bluetooth) support 3rd Party software Stereo Bluetooth Sound? like
    LCG Jukebox, Smartmovie , Power Movie etc...
    N73/N73ME A2DP does not support 3rd party apllication (LCG Jukebox,Powermoive etc)bluetooth stereo sound.But The set (N73/73ME)A2DP support only default music,video player(real player)stereo Bluetooth.
    I want to know real things abt Nokia N91 8GB A2DP with 3rd party software..

    I have a Nokia N73 and a Parrot MKi9000. I wanted to use the Internet Radio application to listen to streaming radio via bluetooth AD2P connection. Nokia N73 firmware updated last, supports this standard, but only for applications installed directly with the operating system: (Standard Media Player and RealPlayer).
    If you start only "Internet Radio" sound does not pass through the bluetooth connection, but I noticed that also enable the media player to hear the sum of the two sounds.
    The solution I found is that of creating an MP3 file of about 30 minutes with a background of ambient music very low (not too much else if there is total absence of sound, such as interruptions in the buffer, the system soon after it disconnects). I set the standard player so that will loop through the MP3 in the background.
    Then I turned on the application "Internet Radio" and select the station to play. Once started streaming the music you hear on the car speakers.
    I think this trick may be useful not only to listen to the radio via the internet, but also for other applications that do not activate by default bluetooth AD2P streaming and other Nokia devices, or other Bluetooth hands-free systems.
    Ciao

  • Created an app not able to see it on iPhone Apple Support is REALLY POOR

    My company created an iPhone application about 2-3 months ago. It has been accepted by Apple Online (where you submit it) but it is not viewable in any iPhone. When you ask apple support they just send you a reply back with a link that does NOT help.
    You will not believe I have sent approximately 20 emails to ALL of Apple's support email and even rang them a couple of times but there is no one who knows what they are doing. No one helps, everyone replies back with that link in the email. Even if you tell them what you have done and ask them for what else is requored as the link is not able to help us they will still reply you back wit the same email.
    I was hoping that with such a big company like Apple they would have hired some educated people who know what they are doing or at least reply you back with some helpful solutions.
    For the past 2 months they have given me a run around and no help at all. Does anyone know where I can complaint about Apple? Or does anyone know who can help me out with this type of a problem. I mean come on, the application was developed by my professional IT team who has been in IT for over 10 years and have developed numerous applications.
    Please someone help me out on this one. This is very important. I am very tired of emailing Apple over and over again and getting EXACTLY the same reply back all the time. I mean do they even read your emails or do they just send you back like a ROBOT what is already in the system i.e. Automatically Set Emails.
    I am sorry If I am rude but even the director of the company had a good run around because of this. Is this really professional of apple support team?
    I am asking again please help me out check our account all the codes are absolutely perfect we have checked over 100 times or at least tell us what else we can do to improve this. It's urgent now!

    This is what you get from them ALL THE TIME. Exactly the same reply:
    Please include the line below in follow-up emails for this request.

  • SAP DDIC support for Index - Limitation of 16 fields

    As some of you know DB2 Index advisor at times recommends indexes with more than 16 fields, Unfortunately SAP doesn't support it creating them from SAP DDIC level (SE11).
    We had a recent issue in OLTP system where BW extractor on FAGLFLEXT wasn't performing as expected for a delta run. SAP OSS Support wasn't of much help. We already had an index on TIMESTAMP field, unfortunately the SQL generated by BW Delta run wasn't using TIMESTAMP field for the DELTA run. DB2advisor recommended index for the bad sql resolved the issue for us.
    Is there a DB6 DBSL related profile parameter to remove the max index field limitation ?

    Thanks Frank as always for quick response.
    I have also got an official response from SAP DDIC Development team
    Here are the details for others who want to know -
    Regarding your question why DDIC supports only up to 16 index fields:
    Our applications are supposed to run on several database platforms.
    In order to guarantee portability of applications across all of these
    DB platforms, we have to set the limits accordingly. Unfortunately,
    there is at least one platform that does only support up to 16
    index fields and thus we cannot support more in the DDIC. We can only
    increase this limit when all supported DB versions - and this might be
    very old ones because we cannot force customers to always migrate to
    the newest DB version - support this.

  • A2DP support for 8800

    I have a 8800 smartphone with software version V4.5.0.37 (platform 2.7.0.55).
    I bought a bluetooth stereo headset which is A2DP enabled. I am not able to use this with my mobile.
    Any support/suggestions?

    One notable missing capability is support for the A2DP Bluetooth profile for stereo headphones, although the device does support mono Bluetooth headphones for use with the phone. RIM says support for A2DP will be added in a future software update. Until that happens, to get the most out of your music, you'll need wired headphones with a relatively uncommon 2.5-mm headphone jack or to use an adapter with your regular wired headphones. All in all, the media capabilities feel like a half-hearted add-on to this device.

  • Still no A2DP support in 10.4.7?

    Am I wrong or is there still no A2DP-Bluetooth support for hifi stereo sound in the latest OS X update 10.4.7?
    I just updated and couldn't see a matching profile.
    This would not be just disappointing - this feature is a built-in MUST for my next laptop.
    Maybe Apple thinks we will buy more Ipods or Airport-AP's if they don't include it.
    Well, in my case, they will sell one Macbook-Pro less..
    G4PB

    I totally agree! I have been patiently waiting for some kind of support for headphones with A2DP. I own the iogear GBMHKIT bluetooth headphone/mic. OSX finds the headphones, allows me to set it up with passkey 0000, it shows up in both input/output pages of the Sound control panel. I can even hear the blip blip blip of the volume slider in the control panel when it successfully pairs. As soon as I try to use any program that uses audio, not only does the sound not play through the headphones, but it locks up the computer and the headphones? Since there is no on/off button on the headphones, there is no way to turn them off?!? I have to wait until the batteries die before I can regain functionality. I also have to hold down the power button on my mac to force it off.
    Come on now Apple! Why the heck do you tease with this?
    PLEASE add headphone support for A2DP and the Iogear line of headphones. (which pairs with my pc just fine)
