What's there to fix ? I don't think its a flaw they have to fix ....more like add a feature.

Same problem here. But I just dropped my phone and destroyed the glass so I have my replacement on the way, hopefully the Bluetooth on that one won't be retarded.

s10. And i wasn't even playing radio, it was music from my phone so it wasn't the connection..
My findings, works flawlessly through my Plantronics BackBeat 903+ and Voyager Pro +.
crap, i hadn't even tested this yet. there's no way i'm going back to wired headphones at the gym. anywhere else no problem, but, i'll be damned if I fling my phone to the ground one more time.
ummm +Eleven bluetooth a2dp sound quality is total ****
Not so good
I had a vogue and the BT was fine. I tried the mogul and while people sounded fine to me, people complained that I was hard to understand. I just switched to the EVO 3D from my Vogue (yes an older phone) and people say they have a hard time understanding me - that there is an echo. I didn't have this problem with this headset when paired with my old phone.

okay, i just picked up an atrix for free and i am giving it a try to decide between it or my inspire ...
a major issue for me though is this problem i discovered... i listen to audio books while driving back and forth to work ... i use mortplayer (but have tried other audio programs and gotten same results) ...
if i am playing the audio on the phones speaker or through headphones that are plugged in everything is okay .. but if i connect to a bluetooth audio source it will 'skip' .. about every second or second and a half it skips a very short part of the audio ... just enough to distort works and make what it is saying not understandable ...
i have searched a little bit and not ran into this mentioned (or my searching skill is worse then i thought) so i am posting this thread up in hopes that someone else may know more about this ...
for a little more information ... the audio files this is happening on are 20 min long mp3 audio ... have tried it on just normal music as well in mp3 format and get similiar results.
I was using the following all last week while travelling, and the audio was great. $50 on Newegg:
Motorola S9-HD
I was getting about 3 hours from full charge, and was using PlayerPro which I have found to be the best for my personal use out of all the players.
<edit> The built in mic also works well for phone calls. My wife could hear me clearly when using it.
i will check out player pro .. i already have bluetooths tho .. built into my car and several blue ants and jawbones ... which it does the same with all of them including the one built into car.
Also check the audio player settings to make sure there isn't an output setting which needs to be changed. It appears some people are having major problems with conflicts between their car audio controls and the music player audio controls. Sometimes the players controls tried to override the car audio controls.
ok with player pro i still have the issue though it is less .. now i only get it for a few seconds then it plays normally ... it seems to be related to it caching the audio while playing.

I returned a pair of HT820's (Warranty) and got the S9-HD's back from moto... they have great sound, but their range is SOME OF THE WORST. I can't walk and listen to music without it cutting out.
I imagine it is most likely a problem with the receiver, not the source. Does the audio buffer or does it just skip?

it skips about a half a second or a quarter of a second of audio ... just enough to change the words being said.
Same here. I am new to bluetooth for audio, and have a pair of S9 HD's. They worked all morning and then skipped all afternoon. Is that a sign of low battery? Also, what range can I expect?

Probably so. The battery life is only 2-1/2 - 3 hours on those from all the reading I did about them before I bought them. Also, turn on the SRS WoW on the headphones. It makes a huge difference to the audio imo.

The price is a good indication of cheap the Chinese imitations. If you purchase the OEM bulk Moto version they are $50 and up from reputable sellers such as Newegg, etc. If it's the cheap knock off versions, they can be had for $15-$20 on Ebay.
I mean I got mine from motorola's Rma center. My ht820s went in for warranty and I got these.
I've noticed some better use now with my atrix than my previous nokia 3600 slide. But its still not like my HT820s. Those things were big, but had like 15 hour battery life, and whole house range. Fit perfect around the neck.
I paid about 45 bucks for the ht820 on amazon (best purchase ever), but the volume would not go down after a year. Sent them in and Got s9hd back (they don't even look the same! Moto customer serivce must hate their customers)... good sound, but not enough to justify changing.

Anyone have any good solutions? I am trying to find some, but coming up with older outdated results.
I basically want a bluetooth receiver that I can plug into my AUX input of my car. This being used for music, GPS and calls. I would also like something that can keep power through the car lighter if possible.
Anyone have any suggestions?

Just wanted to warn people there are two versions of this. The BTAXS and BTAXM. On Ebay you'll see both and the M is cheaper, but that one only does bluetooth calling no a2dp stereo. So you want to buy the BTAXS.

Their English is pretty bad but from the part of the description I can make out it sounds like a A2DP receiver, so it should work.
Just so you know, amazon has this a bit cheaper. I think amazon can be trusted more than ebay imho.
Can't post a link but just search for "B0036ORN2U" on amazon and you'll find it.

can confirm the SCOSCHE BTAXS motorMOUTH II Stereo Bluetooth Hands-Free Car Kits is great for music streaming had it for a yr now used with both evo and evo 3d and works great.... for handsfree calling isn't that great but i haven't taken the time to relocate the mic closer so cant give u the most accurate review there

Quick update, I received my Scosche motorMOUTH II Stereo from the ebay I linked. I received it the day after I placed the order. It works great, sounds great. People can tell I'm on speakerphone but they understand me fine. The only con is that you can't charge it while using it. it usually prevents you, but I was able to get it to charge while running, the problem is that you will get the weird feedback sound from the car lighter through aux cable.... Not sure how to explain it.

That's a ground loop. Google ground loop isolator or ground loop filter.
The one I have looks exactly like the PAC SNI-1/3.5 or the PGLI35 (just google those terms) and it works very well - don't pay over $15, I think I paid less than $10 three years ago. It looks like the Kensington Noise Reducing Car Audio AUX Cable has it built-in if you need something longer.
I got this one for $32 at tmobile store with the 50% off coupon. Its a headset that comes with an adaptor to plug a 3.5mm audio jack and a stereo headset.

Yes. Under each bluetooth device you pair to on your phone you can select whether it's used for music, calls, or both; and you can pair with two devices simultaneously. I do this successfully all the time with my Kensington Liquid Aux (for music in the car, does calls too but the mic is crappy) and a cheap BT headset from LG.
It's a shame that Kensington unit is hard to find now, the remote it comes is SUPER handy and it's something I haven't seen included with any other BT bridge. I attached the remote to my Civic's steering wheel and it literally looks stock.
Another good bridge for music only is the BluBridge mini-jack Rx, battery lasts a long time and you can power it with any USB car charger, really good range too. I got one last year and liked it so much I got a second during Christmas to give away as a gift. I use it at home or during small get-togethers so I can stream to any stereo or set of portable speakers.
Ive been using this one http://cgi.ebay.com/IOGEAR-Bluetooth-Wireless-Audio-Transport-Headset-NEW-/150443532234?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2307221fca
Not trying to be rude or anything but why use bluetooth?
Why not just plug your phone directly into the Aux?
I have one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001DDE4VY/ref=redir_mdp_mobile/175-8678155-4748113
And it works well. It's expensive....and it doesn't plug into your Audi port.....and the Mic isn't built in ....the Mic comes with it, you have to plug it in and clip it on to your shirt. The satechi device works real well though.

Sony makes a really nice set of headphones with the mic, If any headset works as stated above, that would be a pair I would consider. Walmart has them and also office depot, and usually theres like 3 or 4 models about 5 - 10 bucks apart.
There's been a few times i was traveling or something and needed a pair quick or the kids lost my girl's pairs, and a quick trip to walgreens and $15 got a nice set of stereo ear plugs and I know some of them have the mic and headset controls that will work with the headset hook mod.
Don't laugh but try Big Lots if you have 1 near you. The last time I was in the 1 near me they had a ton of ear buds & over ear headphones real cheap.

Hey guys, I'm getting tired of my IP5 and was on the fence between the OX+ and the LG O G phones.
I prefer the size and build quality of the One X+ and the Camera and Google Now ect, but I like the LG's skins and UI over Sense.
But I've also read that the One X has BT audio issues in certain cars, since I have BT in my car I would want it to work.
So what's the verdict?
Yeah I know this is the HTC side of the forum, but you can tell me, its ok.
Thanks
I tested BT on my HTC One X+ and it works. It works as well for file transfers as i have done some test for review which i am writing at the moment.
WiFi works great.I tested in the trains, home and some 'free wifi' ones without any problem.
It terms of skin. I can't help you as is personal preference based on personal usability requiremnts (in my case .. i prefer Sense).
I bought HTC One X+ (as LG OPt. G was one of the first which i exlcuded from my selection )

I've probably have tried at least 4 HOX+ phones, all with the same Bluetooth problem. Read through this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001204 to make an informed decision. In short, File transfers, music sound fine. Bluetooth voices on phone calls are really bad, except with a select few bluetooth devices such as the Blueant Q2. Personally, calls on my car's bluetooth were really bad, and that was a deal breaker for me, since I spend at least 3 hours a day in a car commuting.
Hope it works out for ya!

I just got my HOX+ over the weekend. The bluetooth quality seems ok, and the music/audio over BT sounds great (better with Beats on). The issue I have is it does not auto-reconnect with my BT speaker (Jabra Cruiser 2). I can't even manually reconnect it. I have to unpair it and go through the pairing process each time. Anybody else run into this issue as well? My Jabra reconnects every time with my GF's iPhone 4s. Not sure if this is a deal breaker for me as I only drive on the weekends, but still, it's quite annoying.

My Evo 3D has a dodgy headphone socket and it's time to do something about it!
I don't want to start looking into fixing it until I know what to expect because it's my only phone so can I get some advice on fixing it?
I'm a soldering God so no worries there and I'm not bothered about popping it open unless I'm gonna be wasting my time.
Would I be better off getting another and selling mine?
Is there a separate board containing the headphone socket I could buy and just swap it out?

Mhm it is not easy fix, but still a nice challenge. I fixed my HTC Blackstone HD with this method (unlock button was broken).
First check if it is possible by watching a YT vid to change the digitizer. Hopefully they take the chip with the headphone socket apart.
Then try too find the part on ebay and get it.
With the help of the previous mentioned YT vid, replace the chip with the headphonesocket. It took me a few hours too fix this by this way because you need to be very carefull. Hope this helps.
