Is it possible to make a WM5 rom for HTC Voyager / O2 Xphone? HTC Voyager is still abundant here in the Philippines and others are wondering if it is capable to have a WM5 rom. Since no one here in the Philippines can make a rom, I brought it up here where there are lots of person who can make one.
Thanks

if it's possible, i hope someout out there wouldn't mind to make a rom....it would be greatly appreciated by filipinos
My guess - its too late. This model is not popular around here
I know this is a old thread. But..
Ive been looking around for a small smartphone that could be used to play my music and be used with my bluetooth headphones. Im using the blue angel at the moment and it works superb (except the ablity to use sdhc cards). But its just too big and im always worried if i crack the screen plus it looks pretty nerdy..
So i saw this phone.. Which is excazly what im after. (Which i might add is the only phone that has bluetooth and supports a sd cards).
But i see no one has made any upgrades for it?
Well ill just put it out there that if someone can make this phone to enable a2dp bluetooth profile and support sdhc sd cards (having windows mobile 5+ would be a bonus). Id have to say that this phone with an extended battery would be one of the best phones on the market today.
Ive just started doing a three year programming course at the moment. So if no one else is willing to program a rom. Then hopefully soon ill learn how to develop me own one
Basically my brother got himself a Nokia N85 the other day and i was having a play around with it and found a really awesome little program that comes with the phone. It gives you the option to transmit all of you music through a FM signal. I was wondering if there is an app to do this with my X1 or could one be made?
Thanks
No FM-transmitter in X1 so... no.
x1 got a fm receiver not a fm transmitter
or transceiver as it would be called if it both send and receive
but you can use fm transmitters with 3.5mm jack of cause it's more troublesome
That clears that up. Thanks.
you would find this on many new walkman phones and some satnavs like my tomtom 930t

The iPhone don't have FM trasmitter hardware. the software belkin to do this...never trasmitter required!
I need to replace my Xperia Play headphones and I have been looking online. How do I know if they will work with my Play?
I am looking at these 3 right now. But I am open to any suggestions as long as it is around 45$ with shipping to Canada.
Sony MDR-EX210B
Sony MDR-EX77S
Altec Lansing MZX406
My ideal solution would be something that works with Play and any other future device I own. What headset would you guys recommend and also are there any cheap adaptors if I end up wanting something that wont work with the play.
Also does the Sony Livesound Hifi headset works with other non-sony devices.
Thanks so much to anyone that helps. I want to make an order soon so it ships asap so please help

As of Sony ones, see the compatibility list on their webpage.
As of any other, they most surely won't work as far as they have a buit-in mic.
Now, if you get a headset (not headphone) compatible with your Play, they will only work on SonyEricsson phones, some Nokia and some Samsung before the Galaxy S.
You can buy an adapter, but... well, see this and this.
Any headphones made for the iPhone (including controls, a mic) like the Altec ones won't work. The Sony ones should be fine.
It's lame that in 2016 we still have to ask this. Google was very late to the party to implement hands-free profile 1.6 with wideband audio. They just started with the N6 in late 2014, the N5 did not have it. But, the N9 does not have it, the Shield Tablet does not have it, the N10 of course doesn't either, so no Google tablets that I know of (haven't tried a 2013 N7 though).
If you're wondering, so-called HD Voice in bluetooth (not to be confused with the carriers' "HD Voice" which is a similar thing but within their network) is also called wideband audio because normally BT cuts out at about 3kHz for voice/talk. HFP 1.6 wideband doubles the bandwidth to about 7kHz so voice is much, much clearer.
Usually this is advertised for phones cause the carriers are implementing their own HD Voice, and you'd need a BT HFP 1.6 wideband headset to take advantage of that, but what everyone seems to miss is that pretty much all VoIP apps use a wideband codec, and those work great with these HD headsets.
So, if anyone is familiar with this, could you test it on the Pixel C? You'd need a HD Voice headset, of course. I know pretty much all Sony ones are (but for some like the SBH52 and BRH10 you have to explicitly enable it with an app), and most modern ones from the big brands. If you don't know how, you can make a hangouts-to-hangouts voice call from your phone, and listen to the clarity. (Don't use Skype though, I think its Android app while it does use wideband normally, falls back to narrowband for bluetooth.) There shouldn't be much difference between using headphones and using the headset connected to the tablet. If it's not HD Voice, you'll notice a big difference with the higher frequencies, especially the "S".

Hey Andy o
I have a Plantronics Voyager Edge with Wideband - I use it daily with my N6P on voice calls (GSM).
I'd be happy to pair it with the Pixel C and happy to try via hangouts, but no one I know uses hangouts anymore. PM me if you want to try and test this.
Seems that the pixel c has no hands free Bluetooth profile at all (not narrow band and not wide band). When you connect a Bluetooth headset the tablet pairs but doesn't connect to any hands free profile. It has A2DP for music streaming but if you were thinking of making voip call using a Bluetooth headset, forget it. Pretty lame for a $500+ device.

Holy crap, it appears you're right. That was unexpected. First, no GPS, then this? Damn that is terrible.

Hence why I returned it. This and the lack of auto correct when typing with the keyboard killed it for me.
I wonder if this is because of the rumors that it was designed for Chrome OS which, unbelievably, just got the HFP profile last July. If so, it might be available in future updates, and would support the notion that the software on this thing was rushed out.
Regardless of the reason, it is simply unacceptable that such a premium device being sold and a high price tag will lack basic features like this.
I'm sure most users won't use a headset with this device but for the price support for it should be included. The original nexus 7 didn't have it either. The second nexus 7 had it (lowband). The nexus 9 had this profile.
This is why apple is doing so well. Everything just works.
I don't even think "premium" comes into play. That any modern tablet or phone doesn't have it is nuts. I can't imagine a modern BT chip not having support for it, so it's probably a software/drivers issue, but who knows if Google will fix it.
BTW, are you sure the 2012 N7 didn't have it? I remember it not having a TRRS (headphone+mic) connector, which also crippled it for Square payments, and which was just as dumb a product design choice. But IIRC one of the workarounds was to use a BT headset.
Also, I don't think the N9 has HFP 1.6 wideband. The audio itself is just terrible in comparison with HD-enabled devices like the N6P, N6 and my iOS devices. Even using a frequency generator just to be super sure has it cut off at just above 3500 Hz which is expected for the narrowband profile. With wideband I can still hear on the other device up to 7800 Hz or so.
Yes I don't think the N9 had wideband either. As far as I can recall the N7 2012 didn't have HFP profile either as I remember it driving me nuts that I couldn't use a Bluetooth headset on it to make voip calls.
I went ahead and opened a thread on the Google product support for the pixel c and it has been escalated. Let's see what comes back and if they intend to enable HFP on this device or not.

Would you mind linking the thread? I can't seem to find it at the Google product support forums.

it's what i think he mentioned.
Thanks, that's it https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/f8c_iLUs_rI Will be following it.

I don't believe the Nexus 7s or the Nexus 9 have HFP support (low or wide). I can confirm the Nexus 9 doesn't, I couldn't use my bluetooth headset for voip calls via Hangouts. Here's Google's table with Bluetooth profiles:
https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6048862?hl=en
I can confirm that the table is correct about the Nexus 10, I used Plumble and Hangouts perfectly with the same Bluetooth headset as I used above for calls.

That table is wrong. I can 100% confirm that the Nexus 9 and Nexus 7 2013 did have hands free support. The Nexus 7 2012 did not.

I'll have to check my Nexus 9 with Plumble + Bluetooth then, only used it with Hangouts video chat and it worked great, but Hangouts Dialer calls to a phone number wouldn't work with my bluetooth headset.
Anyone here with the Pixel C on the latest developer preview? Can you confirm if they added Bluetooth headset support (hands-free profile)?
How can one check, which Codecs are used over Buetooth ?
On my Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite I can somehow enable under Developper Mode the APT-X and LDAC Codecs,
but how can I test it, if it being used e.g. in Skype for Android or other Voice Applications ?
My Blootooth Stereo Headset has Apt-X , but during Skype calls or a Wireless Video Recorder app, it still uses only the 8 Khz SBC bad audio codecs...
Any idea how I can test it and how to enable the Wideband Audio Codecs ?
Many thanks.
Regards., Stefan.
It has to support mSBC for handset:

An app like Bluetooth Monitor might show more info about the actual connection.
