Jumbl bluetooth receiver for wired headphones - Galaxy Note 3 Accessories

I haven't seen anyone post this on here yet -
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GJW1HDM/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I grabbed one of these a month or two ago - it's great. 10-12 hours on a charge, 15-30 foot range. When I'm at the gym I don't want a ridiculously large Note strapped to my arm or weighing down my pocket (if my shorts even have one) - and when I'm walking around I'm taking phone in and out of pockets - since our headphone jack is on the top, this gets annoying. Instead I just plug my headphones into this guy, clip it to a shirt/jacket/short pocket and am good to go. It has volume control, skip fwd/back, and works flawlessly. At the gym I just leave my phone next to the rack or on a ledge or whatever and go to town.
Highly recommended!
Oh - I also use one of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00727FE5U/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1 .... connected to some mobile speakers that have ipod dock + headphone input jack, but no built-in bluetooth. Also works perfectly. Lots of hotel room/resort pool/beach use kinda stuff.
Cheers!

I picked up one of these a few days ago and love it. I gave up on trying to find a set of BT ear buds for now, I really like the Tone+ but I tried 3 different sets and 2 different Note 3s and could not get rid of the skipping. It didn't matter which music player I used and it still skipped if I streamed music or playing it directly from the device. I tried the Backbeat Go 2 but they hurt my ears after a short time and would not stay in very well. With the Jumbl receiver I can use any of the nice ear buds that I already have. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a different way to listen to music. It is very small, light and lasts a long time per charge.

Wizard Speaker Cradle (For Music!!!)

I was browsing Expansys and found this.

I was wondering if anyone has one or if they have seen/heard one. My girlfriend wants a USB cradle for her Wizard and as it is only £4 more than just a cradle I thought "why not?". What I am interested in is the speaker quality for listening to music arround the house (away from the gooooood speakers). I don't think it would be a waste of money either way as it is still a cradle even if the speakers are absolute cricket droppings.
If I do get one I'll post an update, it looks likely though.
I've been looking to get my hands on something like that as well. Only places I've seen it so far have been outside of the US. If someone ever carries it in the US, I'm going to be all over it.. Would make for a nice radio replacement at my desk..
Expansys opperates in the US under the name of Mobileplanet, I've not had any issues with them in the UK and all orders have been prompt and problem free.
I found a review:
http://www.mobilitysite.com/articles/link.php?id=342
Only cons are low volume... I'll have to see...
Bummer on the low volume.. Also noticed that the 8125 doesn't fit.. Looks like I'm out of luck for now.. Nuts..
If you have some polycement (melts and re-sets plastics) you could remould the dock section to fit, it is only slightly different shape. You'd need some setting putty to make a cast of the bottom of the Wiza100 then you case the cast to get a wiza100 shaped lower part. you place polycement in the regions that don't match (may require some dissasembly of the cradle) and gently push to change the shape... Would probably make a mess so nvm... LOL
Speaker cradle
Yeah , it looks good , but there's one that looks even better and fits the cingular 8125 !!! But $ 40 is a bit too much to spend on something that'll not work on it's own , well .........

What about this cradle I found at BargainCell: http://www.bargaincell.com/product_11268_1201.html

[Q] Best way to stream music to older stereo receiver?

Have the Viewsonic G-Tab and finally got my music library loaded, and I am now looking to stream music from the tablet to my basic stereo receiver/speaker setup - currently the receiver doesn't have any wifi, bluetooth, etc capabilities. Just the old red wire/white wire connections.
Does anyone have a recommended accessory to stream music to it, via wireless, bluetooth or otherwise? I do have an Apple Airport Express, but it doesn't seem like that is a viable option.
Thanks!

it can be easily done ..
If you want to go wired, then just use the headphone output of your gtab to the stereo RCA input on your receiver.
Can be found at any dollar store or pick it up from ebay for $1 shipped

If you want to go wireless, you will need to use a BT adapter, connect it to the above cable (instead of directly using the gtab), then connect the gtab to it using bluetooth.
Here is one that is $20 shipped.
Hope that helps,
Best FM transmitter ever. I have had 2 of them in the last say 5 years. My original I gave to my parents when they got an android phone. But my wife got a new car with no aux port on it, so I picked up another one.

How do you expect the OP to use this at home ?!
Whoops, I just assumed it was for a car stereo.

[Q] Can't hear phone ring when it's lying on the desk

I'm just curious if anyone has come up with a "nifty" solution for this problem. Because the speaker in the Aria is on the back of the phone, any time I lay it on my desk (face up), the ringing of an incoming call is all but inaudible in anything short of a very quiet room.
I've looked at a number of different phone cases but none of them do anything to create an air gap for the sound to escape from.
I'm just tired of having to find something to prop the phone up on every time I set it down.
Heh....this was driving me nuts when I first got the Aria. I don't have a "nifty" solution as it were, but once I got a silicone case for the phone that has a bezel around the outside of the screen area, I no longer worried about putting the phone down face-down (as the bezel on the case keeps the screen from coming in contact with whatever surface it is on) so now the speaker is on the "up" side of the phone and I can hear it...
Also go into dsp manager if on cm7 and set the phone speaker setting
Signatures are fancy.
Have a silicon case and I always hear it. Face up or face down. Even in the other room.

juss buy or use a phone holder. i use an old hair grease container to put my phone in and it does the job well
Thanks for all of the suggestions.
Because I place the phone in a docking station at night and use it that way as an alarm clock, phone cases are a problem because the phone won't fit in the dock with a case on.
I finally solved the problem with 2 very small drops of epoxy, applied with a toothpick. The small rounded drops stick up from the phone cover about the same height as the thickness of a credit card, yet let the speaker sound come through loud and clear.
Now I can set it down, face up, anywhere and not worry about hearing it ring.

That is an excellent idea, this was a definite oversight when our phones were designed with such a small speaker.

Asus Padfone stylus

Asus Padfone is coming out & it is shown with a stylus so I wonder if
1.they have done some sort of software offering that might be available that can improve stylus use for us and
2.what their stylus will be like and if it is even theirs?
You can see it

It's probably just a generic bluetooth headset shaped into a case that doubles as a stylus. Even if it is compatible with any other device, I still wouldn't use it as it defeats the whole purpose of using bluetooth in the first place!
You use bluetooth so you don't have to hold your phone to your ear and/or to listen to music without headphone wires getting in the way, right? so why switch holding your phone to your ear for holding your stylus instead? While at the same time losing your ability to listen to music to boot (even if it's capable, the sound quality would be crappy without an ear bud!) And on top of that, what if you need to take notes from the call you're using your stylus to listen in on...?
It's cute, but I wouldn't trade my S305 or my LG Tone or my PX5's for it. Honestly Asus... -facepalm-
Personally I love the idea. For people who needs to use one they could always buy a proper headset. A stylus-headset is very useful if you are just playing/working with your tablet and you can easily take a call without needing to fiddle with a bluetooth or wired headset.
What I don't like about the Padfone though is how they are using a generic capacitive stylus rather than a proper electro-magnetic resonance stylus. That's pretty much a deal breaker for me. (Unless the Atmel Maxstylus turns out to work on it) Now we have the Galaxy Note 10.1 coming out with a proper stylus but I just love Asus's keyboard dock way too much. Decisions, decisions.

Choetech Wireless Headphones v4.1

I tried out the Cheotech Wireless Headphones today with my Pixel. I charged the headphones before testing and here is my review.
What comes in the box:

1x - headphone
1x - charging cord
2x - other sizes for your ears
1x - pair of extra ear hooks.
Pairing the device:
The first time you turn on the headphones it will go into pairing mode. After you've paired it and want to put it into pairing mode, simply hold down the power button wait for it to notify that the headphones are one, continue holding the button and it will tell you that it is ready to pair. The headphones will appear as BH-003
Setup:
The setup on the Nexus Pixel and this headphone was simple - once it was pairing mode, I turned my phone's bluetooth on and waited about 10seconds for the phone to find the headphones and it paired and was ready to go.
Sound:
I played a few different genres of music - house, rock, rap/r&b and have to say that the sounds is clear. You definitely hear the vocals clearly( I was even able to hear the talking from "Give it up" by Pepper). Another big thing I noticed is it really pumps out the base if you your song has any bit of base in it. Some may like that, others may not. Just know that it will bump it regardless. I'm not sure about the noise cancellation with these headphones. I tapped my desk while playing music and didn't hear anything but that was also the case when I used some Shure Noise Isolation earphones.
Build:
The original ear piece fit my ears ok so I don't have any complaints but I don't have particularly big or small ears. It took a little bit to get the proper placement into my ear but once it was in there was a nice seal and it held in place. It's very lightweight and it didn't fall out when I moved around - though I didn't go any running with them.The earphones are rubberized so I'm guessing it is will stand up to sweat.
Overall, I'd recommend these headphones for working out - the music is clear but heavy base. The cord won't get in the way of your running or lifting. It's also nice a lightweight so you don't really notice it too much aside form the cord.
