Hey guys,
I'm trying to find a bluetooth headset that will work clearly and cleanly with my xda iis.
I've tried the jabra 250 whilst in the o2 shop and the chap there blamed the crackly poor quality sound on the flourescent lights. Whatever!
Could we start a thread of known working bluetooth headsets for the blue angel or is there a list somewhere else?
I'm becoming quite tired of trying to find a clear working device.
Thanks.
I'm using a Nextlink BlueSpoon without any problems.
Motorola HS810 here, works fine.
i use the BodyGlove Bluetooth Headset.
No Complaints.
i use the Sony-Ericsson HBH-602 Headset, it works fine.
I have used the following:
Ultra Mini Bluetooth Headset - Crackle City
Sony Ericsson HBH-65 - Worked Great
Nextlink Bluespoon AX - Crackly City
Sony Ericsson HBH-600 - Crackle someitmes - but good otherwise.
Used BT800 with Telecom Harrier and it doesn't work properly.
Paired alright and it seems like the mic part of the headset is not working.
I can hear people talking over the phone but they can't hear me at all.
Upgraded to BT3900 and still doesn't work.
Tried with another BT800 and the same result.
Everything works but not the mic.
I bought the Motorola HS850 yesterday and it has arrived at 930am thanks to www.i2020.co.uk
Took it out the box, charged it for an hour (not the recommended two), went into bluetooth manager and created a new headset connection.
Within 60 seconds I now have a perfectly working bluetooth device. Just called a friend and they didn't even know I was on a bluetooth headset.
A big THUMBS DOWN :evil: for the Jabra models and a big THUMBS UP for the Motorola models!
Thanks all for your input.

I'd like to but my one is a Telecom Harrier. I just can't find the way to update to 1.40 on my device.
Telecom Harrier is a CDMA/EVDO version and it doesn't use SIM Cards. No WiFi too...

I logged into www.clubimate.com and tried to register but it says my ESN number is either invalid or already been registered.

I downloaded and installed it. But it ain't working...!!!!!!! doh!!!!! :evil:
I will try re-pairing the device and see how it goes.
I deleted the profile and re-paired it but it ain't working.
It pairs alright and I can hear others talking but they can't hear me.
It might be my handset or the headset with mic faulty.
I will go get another one and try. If it still doesn't with my harrier, I will just wait and seek for a new model.
Thanks a lot for your help dude.
Hi,
just got the new Motorola HS 850, till now works great.
Sound is good, very little echo.
Using ROM 1.40 and Radio 1.13
On my carkit (Bluetooth Lintech for Cark-91) a lot of echo.
So far so good.
Regards,
Max
I've used both the Logitech Mobile Freedom and their Mobile Pro headsets with no problems.
Personally, I prefer the Mobile Pro because the ear clip mechanism allows you to clip the headset to a shirt.
i have the hbh 660 and it works great. you can even see who is calling you on the lcd of the headset... ooooh yeah
I use this one....
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6402429860&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT&rd=1
and its A PILE OF PANTS!!!!!!!!!!!
I get one call out of it and then anything after it asks for the pin, which when entered does sod all. The amount of times I've nearly crashed in a blind rage with this useless piece of equipement....
....Anyone know of anything that might fix this????? Or is it a lost cause???

Hi! I have Motorola HT 820 - this device work fine (Stereo headset, handsfree)
wireless modem applet fixes BT sound quality
On my SX-66, I have found that if I connect the Jabra BT200 and activate it (press the pickup/hangup button so the PDA sound is in the headset), then run the Wireless Modem applet (\Windows\WModem.exe), "Start" a connection, then exit the applet with the "ok" button, the sound quality will magically correct itself!
This confirms to me that the sound quality problem is a software issue. Every BT headset would work if whatever the Wireless Modem applet does was integrated into the connection routine.
This is not a great workaround because it take about 1 hour to prepare for a phone call :roll: as the wireless resets and is stubborn about reconnecting. It isn't just the reset that fixes the problem because just reseting the wireless has never helped my sound quality problems.
For now, it is best to buy a headset that already works, but there is hope that in the future all BT handsfree devices may work correctly.
Would this thing work on Touch HD? Anyone have any idea? I've been googling all afternoon, but no one seems to mention anything about this neat keyboard pairing with XDA devices.

I think it wont -- in the link you provided its said and showed that theres a usb receiver and it works in 2400ghz frequency--- basically the keyboard comunicates only with the usb thingy, that came with the keyboard!!!
NO IT WONT!!
except only if you make it bluetooth keyboard!!!
Moving this to Blackstone accessories!
Yeah, sorry, I accidentally posted in the wrong thread

Nah, actually I'm aware of that thingy, but that's not what I want. I want a hardware keyboard I can use in my hands or in my lap. This one requires a flat surface to work and that's not an option since I need to be able to use the keyboard in the car / plane / train / ferryboat etc. So I have excluded pretty much all foldable keyboards because they can't be used that way.
I also saw the Logitech diNovo mini keyboard, which looks awesome, but is just so damn expensive I figured I first try to find some kind of alternative. There are a few mini wireless keyboards available out there, but only Logitech and this Super Tiny have illuminated keys (also a must have for me) and can be used without flat surface.
Guess I'll have to go for Logitech then
You could try by using the veripart 3-in-1 converter, which will give you a USB-port, so you can stick the transmitter onto it...
But I don't know how to get the drivers onto your device then....
Grtz,
Degake
Look for the Think outside, or i-Go bluetooth keyboard. it's foldable but you can use it on your lap also. I have been using one for the past two years. fantastic device!!

Yeah, me too, but I'm still undecided. Mostly because the reviews I read weren't that great as I expected.
To be honest, if I'm going to pay 150 euros for a plastic keyboard, then I expect it will be fantastic, and judging by what I read, it's just not so great as one would think.
I own a lot of Logitech devices and have been using their keyboards / mices for years. I never regret paying top money for those gadgets, but I'm just not sure about this little thing. Unfortunately, none of the available reviews tested this keyboard as an attachment to PDA device - most were oriented to Windows Vista tv application / web browsing. So, I'll wait for someone here on the forums to get it and report
Well there is this on the same web site http://usb.brando.com.hk/prod_detail.php?prod_id=00791&cat_id=034&dept_id=015

I'm very interested in it's functioning with HD. Can you test it in SMS / Opera / Word? See if there's a way for the soft keys to be controled via keyboard.
Also, general impressions would be most welcomed.

Bt Keyboard pairs but no response from keypresses
Hi,
Hopefully someone can help me with this as I am rather stuck.
I got this keyboard http://www.iconuk.co.uk/Keyboards--Mice-&-Tablets/Bluetooth-Keyboards/Keysonic-Mini-Blutooth-Wireless-Keyboard-KB-ACK-595BT/p-1583-621-1758-4106/ - Keysonic KB-ACK-595BT.
So far I have only got it to work twice with the touch HD, where it connected and was quite happy typing and controlling windows mobile (typed a whole document quite happily). However, the 2nd time it took several attempts before it would work and now I can't seem to do it again.
As far as I can tell the keyboard is fine (connects to windowsXP without issue) but after paring with the Phone (which it accepts) there is no response from the key presses.
I've tried all sorts to get it to work, but no utility or attempts to change the stack or Soft/Hard resets seems to help. I've even upgraded the radio to 1.12.25.16 but made no difference. I think this must be a WM6.1 issue with BT paring but I'm out of idea on how to fix it.
It is driving me nuts though, since it worked twice so why doesn't it now? Can't find anyone else who has had a similar problem so stuck for ideas on what to try next.
Thanks in advance.
Tim.
Does anyone use a remote with their Hero. The one bundled doesn't seem to control music playback, and I'd like to use my own headphones.
The official one from HTC looks good. But are there other options?
http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B001DXAV...ive=7966&creativeASIN=B001DXAVPC&linkCode=asn
Just for the record, RC E100 doesn't work properly with Hero. The phone detects it as a headset with microphone, but the sound is mono and none of the buttons work.
According to the HTC tech support, they're not aware about any RC E100 driver release for Hero in the nearest future.
Thanks for the warning.
Are there any remotes that do work with the Hero?
Sorry, no. I'm happy with my Sony HDH DS-970 Bluetooth headset, and I'm not really looking into any wired replacements.
E100 Remote - works with Tmobile G2
Hey all,
I had the old HTC Diamond until I moved to the world of Android, I cant believe I have not had a crash yet, with my winmo device had to restart everyday nearly. Anyways, I digress, with the Diamond I purchased the HTC E100 remote.
I would like to say I am happily using it with the HTC Tmobile G2(Hero) phone without any issues, volume keys work great, can change music tracks without any problems and able to receive and end calls with the mic. Just though I will let you all know that it does work !
Weird. It definitely doesn't work properly for me.

Are you able to control other applications, such as last.fm, using the remote?
Update: It seems the previous remote I was testing was faulty. I just tested a brand new RC E100 and it worked perfectly fine with Hero out of the box, so now I'm thinking about getting one myself, if I could only find some good earphones that could match HDH DS-970's quality of sound.
I haven't tested it with anything else but the default Music Player though.
I have just purchased a RC E100 Remote Control unit for my HTC Hero but am getting the same problems as previously mentioned on here.
While the answer/hang-up and volume control buttons on the remote work fine, the media control buttons (play/pause and skip-forward/skip-backward) buttons do absolutely nothing at all. While there is a CD included containing drivers for Windows Mobile phones, there are no drivers for Android so I'm not sure if this means that the remote is supposed to work natively with Android
The RC E100 is advertised on the HTC website as being a compatible accessory for the HTC Hero so I assume it must be possible to get it to work properly with this phone in some way.
I emailed HTC support a couple of days to try and get an answer on this (no reply yet) but would be interested to know how other people have managed to get the RC E100 working with the HTC Hero because from this thread it appears that this remote does work with these phones.
I'm running on the latest version of the ROM (v2.73.405.5) so I'm not sure if that makes any difference (i.e. remote control of the audio functions have maybe been "broken" in this ROM)??
I use the HTC E100 remote with my Hero (modaco 2.8 rom). Every button is functional and sound is great

Can you possibly tell me what the exact part number of the remote is (shown next to "P/N:" on the side of the box). And is "HTC Hero" listed as a phone model on the side of your box? The part number on the side of my box is "66H00001-13M".
Even though the RC E100 is listed by HTC as a compatible Hero accessory, on the side of the box I received the Hero isn't listed as one of the phone models that the remote will work with. I'm beginning to wonder if there is actually more than one version of these remotes whereby maybe only later versions will work with the HTC Hero

I have same part no: 66H00001-13M, Hero not listed as compatible. I use android stock music app, and meridian is fully functional with RCE100 too.
Works just fine for me.
Have the White GSM Hero and the HTC EC E100 (White) works perfect. All buttons and stereo work excellent.
It however does not work with an adapter like the 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 charger, headphone, sync. I was hoping to hook this remote up in my car while charging it and it does not seem to be possible. Remote works by itself just fine though.
Hmmmmm. I'm trying to use mine with the standard music app as well. Are there any settings on the phone that might need to be enabled (or ones that I might have inadvertantly disabled)?
If not then maybe I do actually have a duff remote. I guess all I can do in thay case is to try and get it replaced and see if a new one is any better.
Thanks for the help

Unfortunately not...I really wish it was that simple. The mute button on the side also isn't doing anything either
It's a shame I don't know anyone else with an HTC phone to try it on because I'm now paranoid that the problem is actually with the phone and not the remote. I guess I'll only know for sure by sending the remote back and getting a replacement sent to me.
I've just got this remote to use on my Hero / G2 and the remote is detected as a headset, the volume, back/forward and pickup/end call buttons are working fine, however the play/pause and mute buttons do nothing at all.
I'm running the latest official T-Mobile ROM (build 2.73.110.26).
Anyone got any ideas / suggestions as without play/pause working it's pretty useless!
Mark
====
actually, i got this one as well, and it works perfectly (play music, answer calls etc.)
it worked perfectly when i used the stock 2.73 rom, and it still works perfectly with modaco's 3.0 rom
what's also nice is that you can actually use 2 headphones at the same time by plugging in the wired remote control in the extusb, and the standard HTC earphones in the 3.5mm jack (although only the buttons on the standard HTC 3.5mm earphones will work when doing this)

I've currently got an open "ticket" with HTC about this issue but they're not being very helpful or quick with their responses to be honest. I submitted the original details of the problem to them 6 weeks ago but they still haven't given me any real help or possible resolutions. After 4 weeks of communication back and forth they eventually told me to just look on the list of compatible products for the HTC Hero I politely informed them that I had already done that before I ordered the remote. Apparently my problem is being urgently investigated but the last reply I had from them was over 2 weeks ago so it clearly isn't that urgent to them. It seems to me that they actually have no idea why.
The supplier of the remote didn't want to give me a replacement and just told me to get in contact with HTC for a resolution. This is dragging on far too long now so it looks like I'm going to have to go back to the supplier and demand they give me a refund.
This remote seems very hit and miss with the HTC Hero and I can't understand why some people can get all buttons on them to work perfectly fine while others have issues with some of the buttons not working even when those different people are running the same ROM

I have one too, but if found the Headphone you get with the RC-E100 less copfertable than the original ones you get in the Topaz's box.
I tried several headphones and got to the conclusion that the best ones are Sennheiser MXL51 (they have a nice feature - you can plug-out an additional cord so you don't have a really long cord dangling from them).
I have the RC E100 too and confirm it does work fine with the Topaz. I can't understand why they make the cables so long though. It takes me 30 minutes to untangle it whenever I use it

It's long because the remote also contains a microphone for the handfree and the cord has to be long enough for it to reach your face.

Sorry to tell you. So far as I can tell it doesn't work on the dream. I did the same thing. Same site. One hit I had off a www google search said it worked on 1.5, but after 1.6, it no longer worked. I ended up using this. Jabra BT3030 It works great. With a little bit of hacking you can get this BT Necklace

Got the same one for my Tattoo (click) and it's not recognized, is there no way to make it work, like some driver or anything?
I can confirm that the splitter which can teh man linked, the YC A300, does work on my G1 running BiffMod 2.0
This makes me suspect that the relevant driver is either in Cyanogen Mod 6, or the Pershoot kernel which BiffMod uses. I haven't tried to break it by flashing another kernel. I do hope this at least gives you a starting point.

i have an adapter but not exaclty this one..
if its not working you can try an app called "sound route switcher" or sth similiar.
it forces your phone audio output through your desired channel. so i got mine to work on donut (before it was patched on a cm)
but my adapter uses more battery than being connected to my bluetooth headphones >.<

Thanks, I found this post useful.
A quick search on eBay revealed many of these for five bucks.
I was looking for an adapter that would let me charge and use the headphone port at the same time.
I don't know why they couldn't just put the d**n headphone port on the phone itself. I guess it would have cost them an additional 35 cents per unit. I hate the "break this port and you're screwed" paradigm.
