Bluetooth A2DP on T60 with XP

I have an IBM T60 with Windows XP and all of the updates installed.
I purchased a Motorola S9 Bluetooth Stereo headset which works great with my cell phone, but I cannot get Windows to see that it exists.
I have installed the latest Bluetooth drivers from the IBM Support web site, from the IBM support site
Microsoft Bluetooth Support file for Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate -> http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-62928.html.  After the install, I still can't see the S9 headset.
I tried to download and install the Widecom Bluetooth drivers and each time I try to install it, the install fails.
Anyone know how to get A2DP support on the T60?
Thank you

Ok. Of course it always works this way....I spend hours, days, and weeks trying to get this to work...then within minutes after I post the question I figure it out...sigh....
the problem was, the S9 wasn't staying in pairing/discovery mode because my phone was on and it was connecting to the phone.  So by the time Windows would try to find it, the S9 was out of Pairing mode.
The solution
1. The download from the Lenovo site worked to update to the Enhanced data Rate
2. You need to have all other devices that the S9 would pair with turned off so the S9 stays in pairing mode while Windows is looking for it.
Hope this helps others....

  • Bluetooth a2dp/avrcp

    Ever since a week after the first Iphones were released (when I bought my first one), I've been waiting for Iphone to support bluetooth a2dp/avrcp.
    I bought a 3G-S yesterday. I have 3 different a2dp/avrcp products I've paired it with: my Sony car stereo, a Motorola MOTOROKR S9 and a 3rd device (I forget the make/model). All three seem to play the music via a2dp fine. But I cannot get skip-to-next-track and skip-to-beginning-of-track ( |<< and >>| )to work on any of them. Play/pause works on the 2nd and 3rd device, but not on the car stereo. On the car stereo when I hit pause I hear a split-second pause and then it continues playing.
    So my question is, does the Iphone 3G-S not support the avrcp protocol or is it buggy?

    The iPhone 3GS' Bluetooth profile does not support forward and back, only pause and play via stereo Bluetooth. I had this issue as well, and had to dig around the apple site to find out the supported profiles. My car stereo has the capability to transfer the phonebook contacts to the stereo so you can see a name rather than a phone number; however since the iphone's profile does not support file transfer or sharing I cannot use this feature on my stereo. I hope Apple updates this soon as well as the forward/rewind Bluetooth functionality so I can keep my phone secured in my purse without having to take it out to change the song or see who is calling me while driving.
    Go to this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
    it lists the supported profiles. Pay close attention to the * toward the bottom. It states only pause and play are supported.

    Thank you so much,

    Now I'm facing the same problem with A2DP on my Nokia 6230 (original player doesn't support it) so I'm about to create my own player supporting this bluetooth protocol. I just wanted to ask you how far you've got with this.
    Thx.

  • About Bluetooth A2DP

    Is there this option (Bluetooth A2DP) in N95-1?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    what exactly are you asking? if you asking "if it can be turned on or off?" then the answer is "no." a2dp is already installed on the n95. for it to work all you need to do is pair the headset with the phone, and when you start playing music it will begin streaming to the headset immediately. there is no "on" or "off" option.
    everything happens for a reason

  • Song playback rate is improper over Bluetooth a2dp

    I recently purchased a Bluetooth a2dp dongle to stream music wirelessly from my MacBook and iPhone. My bed is about 2.5 meters from the dongle. The playback is fine with the MacBook but with my iPhone 3G it tends to be inconsistent. I can sense a rush in the playback and then sudden chops. Simply speaking it's not smooth. It's a 3G with ios4.1 and so background apps is not an issue. There is a direct line of sight with the dongle. The MacBook plays it fine over the same distance.
    This problem is present even when my iPhone is placed next to the dongle (which actually kills the very meaning of having the dongle).
    Any help?

    the problem is only with the iPhone 3g and not with my MacBook pro.

  • Apt-x Support for Bluetooth A2DP?

    Hi,
    are there any plans to support the apt-X codec for the Bluetooth A2DP Profile? Maybe that could solve some of the bad A2DP audio qualitiy issues, that are still expierienced by some users (including me) on all the available phones (tested Pre- with 1.4.5, Pre+ with 1.4.5 and 2.1, Pixi Plus with 1.4.5, Pre2 with 2.0 and 2.1, all gave the same issues with different headsets and receivers!).
    apt-X seems to be coming quite fast, not only because apple has built in support for it in it's latest products, but also because it offers CD level quality on low encoding cost, which is MUCH more than the poor SBC codec can deliver.
    I hope HP with it's Beat audio line of products will consider adding such enhanced A2DP codecs to the mobile devices... wireless headsets are so much more convinient than anything wired can be. But at the momen A2DP sound quality is unbearable with my Palm handsets and I still have no clue where that issue arises from (my last guess is, that it's connected to me being an european costumer and we are few compared to the majority of the us costumers. As far as I understood there are differences in the radio part of the handsets between EU and US devices, so maybe those differences break A2DP Bluetooth quality).
    Post relates to: Pre Plus p100ueu (Vodafone)

    Thanks for all of the replies. I also saw in the Z white paper that the apt-X codec is not listed, so the question becomes "can apt-X be pushed via a software update?"
    For those interested in streaming to your home stereo or powered speaker, here's what I ended up doing.
    Purchased a Rocketfish Bluetooth Music Receiver from Best Buy (in the US). It is a pretty slick lttle device, about the same size as the power plug adaptor and it supports A2DP and apt-X. There are two audio outputs: analog via a headphone jack and optical. And it ships with a 6' 3.5mm stereo audio cable and a  RCA adaptor.
    Setup was easy. Connect the audio to the stereo's AUX inputs, set the stereo's source to AUX, plug in the BT receiver power, turn on the tablet Bluetooth on the tablet and play music.
    At first the sound was pretty compressed from MP3's, Pandora and the Google Play service.The fix was to go into the Google Play app > settings > equalizer. Click on "surround sound" and change the setting from "headphone" to "studio".Then play with the equalizer settings to tweak.Results in much improved audio.
    Happy camper now... music streaming through the house and no wires!

  • 6300 Bluetooth a2dp headset reconnection issue

    Hi,
    I have a Nokia 6300 with latest firmware/software. I am using a SE MW600 Bluetooth stereo headset for listening music, everything ok but when I try to reconnect it always loose connection. It says Disconnecting... .
    I had the same issue before with a non-original (No brand) A2DP headset. It seems this is not the headset's issue, I think this is the Nokia 6300 phone's issue.
    It is 2010 now, but Bluetooth is not compatible with its devices.
    What is the solution? Why do I have to pay for something for Bluetooth, for Symbian, for Nokia phone they can not make a compatible device / accessory / software ? Is Bluetooth a standard? Why do we have to pay for those ?engineers  who can not make a compatible device?

    Well, I decided I didn't want to put up with this anymore, so my Pre went back to the store yesterday. I'm just sick of having a phone that's missing one crucial feature or another--I've been a loyal Palm customer for many years now, but it seems like they have turned into a second-class company. Lack of support and updates, shoddy products, etc.--it just seems like they never quite get it right.
    So, I'm somewhat sorry to say it, but I'm going to get an iphone. While I'd prefer to have a device that had a physical QWERTY keyboard, I'm willing to put up with a virtual one as long as the phone operates correctly.
    So, thanks for the memories, Palm! On to the iphone I go.........

  • TP T60 with VISTA and dock doesn't work with DVI

    Hi, at the first excuse my English.
    I am beginner ]:->
    I have Lenovo T60 with vista. I have advance dock from lenovo. DVI on dock doesn't work correctly. External display is distort, noisy.
    After start of Vista is all right. But when I use blank white page monitor switch off and on in a circle. Monitor is in good order. Advence is in good order. (I change it 3 times).
    Thank you for help or inspiration how to find a solution.

    ok, i think i understand you now.   you have an advance dock with a third-party PCI graphics card and can't get it to work under vista.   my best recommendation is to try different drivers.   i am not 100% positive but your PCI card might have to have the same GPU as your T61 to be compatible.   perhaps someone else with more experience on this can help.

  • My iPhone 5 screen is black and will not come back on. The phone still works when paired with my vehicles Bluetooth what's wrong with it, and can I fix it?

    My iPhone 5 screen is black and will not come back on. The phone still works when paired with my vehicles Bluetooth what's wrong with it, and can I fix it?

    I have a similar problem.  I restored my iPhone 5 to the latest available OS.  After completing the process the phone never restarted.  The phone was fully charged when I restored it but now refuses to charge past the red battery icon.  I have been able to get the phone in UFD mode several times and have been able to load the new OS on the phone.  The Apple logo does come on and the software fully loads.  iTunes tells me the phone will restart but never does.  I left it to charge all night but it never appeared to load the battery.  This morning I went to the Grand Central Terminal apple store for help.  A woman at the store plugged the phone in but it never charged.  She absolutely refused to believe that I got my phone in UFD mode and loaded any software on.  I don't think it is a battery issue.  The only solution I was given was to buy a new phone.  Repairing it was out of the question.  At this point the phone is completely useless.  Thanks in advance for the help.

  • After installing ios7 on my iphone 4, bluetooth is not pairing with my bluetooth car speaker.  I have restored settings.  Any tips?

    Can anyone help/  After installing ios7 on the iphone 4, I cannot connect bluetooth on the phone with my bluetooth car speaker.  It worked before ios7.  I have restored my phone but it is still not working.

    Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. This will not affect data. Remove the car speakers from the phone under Bluetooth, and remove the phone from the car stereo. After that place both devices back into pairing mode and reconnect.

  • How can I connect Bluetooth in iPad retina with non apple devices ?

    How can I connect Bluetooth in iPad retina with non apple devices ?

    What devices?
    The iPad can only pair with earphones, speakers and keyboards.
    It cannot directly pair with other phones or computers for file transfer or other operations.
    Most Bluetooth devices will have a user guide to connect them to other devices. follow that to start the process.
    From the iPad side, its just a matter of going inot Settings->BlueTooth turning it on, and searching for the device to pair.
