Anyone has any experience with the jabra bt250? I was wondering if it would work with our XDA IIs. I THINK it would but I am hesitant to cough up $$ just to see. The jabra website doesn't even have the XDA IIs up at all and they aren't returning my emails.
Hi,
I have a MDAIII and the Jabra BT250 and it works allright... I am not to pleased about the distance you can put your phone to (about 1-1.5" meter) for excellent sound.
YES
I originally got a Jabra FS-258 on a trip to Singapore last October. It was the best brand on review everywhere and I was looking to play around with bluetooth on a SE T68i -- worked great. On an upgrade to the SE K700i seems I lost the single touch call functionality (must be the phone firmware). I'm not using it with my XDA and it works fine except for the initial noise as reported here -
http://www.my-xda.com/downloads/Other_Bluetooth.pdf
The work around is easy. On initial pairing you'll hear the noise as the Jabra tries out to interface, press the Jabra's talk on/off button to disengage. Succeeding calls have been clear at least for me. I was using the old 1900 drivers.
Have now just upgraded to the official 3500 drivers but have not had time to re-test changes. Will post here sometime or if anyone asks again....
On another note, I'm also looking for a way to extend music up the Jabra in other forums. Anyone found the link or the correct way to upgrade the ROM, etc?
I recently charged up the headset with the 3500 patch and voila! no initial noise!
Will continue to do tests this week and mention if it returns or something else.
Now, on to having music piped through it .....
Doesn't work for me
Hi,
You guys are having more luck than me. I have an M2000 from Orange UK. The Jabra 250 will pair with the phone, but when it tries to connect it just times out. Any idea why?

what's your jabra and rom build versions? have you upgraded the bluetooth stack (links are all over the place for the 3500).
I don't know any details about the Jabra, apart from that it is a freespeak 250 which I bought the other day from "The Link" in York (England).
I have installed:
OEM_WWE_124_008.sa.CAB
OEM_Patche_12100401.sa.CAB
I got the links from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=15078
Now the headset will connect, but with really poor sound quality. It's strange, I get a better signal when the phone is facing away from the headset, but even then it's only useable at a max range of about 2 feet.
Jabra 250 problems
Hi everyone!
I'm new here.
I just purchased iMate PDA2K EVDO (CDMA) and paired it with my Jabra 250 with no problems. Made a few calls, it worked perfectly.
On that first day, my battery died completly. When I charged the battery, Jabra couldn't connect with iMate.
I wiped it of from the list of paired devices, and tried unsuccesfully to pair it again, and again, and again.
Called support and did a SW reset, but still was unable to pair the Jabra afterwards.
Anyone knows what's going on and how to tackle the problem?
I've been told that I have the leatest SW version
ROM version: 2.03.00 WWE
ROM date: 12/15/04
Radio version: HA01_140
Protocol version: AA3.3.301
PRL version: 00205
ExtROM version: 2.03.111 WWE
Hardware version: 0041
p.s. I can't for some reason put my iMate details on my profile.
Cheers

Jabra 250 headset is fine, been using it for a few weeks now.
However when you lose pairing, try this:
Remove the pairng from the blue angel, switch the Jabra 250 off, switch the jabra back on and HOLD it for about 8 seconds untill the light is blue constantly. Now pair it again in the bluetoth manager and enter the pin-code 0000. Should be fine.
PS If you can, upgrade to the 1.10.00 Radio and bluetooth 3900. It killed the static crackle for me, before I was having earaches.

Exact Procedure to Bond XDA IIs to Jabra FS 258
Hi Guys,
I'm so frustrated already I wanna stomp my Jabra. I have loaded the new broadcomm 3900 BT driver and I still can't get my FS 258 to bond to my IIs. Can someone provide me an idiot's guide please? It just won't authenticate with my FS 258 no matter what settings I configure!
Thanks alot!
Bah!
Followed all this and my bt250 still crackles big style on an o2 xda iis.

Should I stick with 1.66.00WWE or move to the 1.7X ROM??????
Also what type of Bluetooth head sets are you all using, any specific recommendations or success??
Thanks!
I'm still using the 1.66.00WWE that came with my device.
I'm using the O2 Bluetooth headset and have had no problems with it at all - voice quality is fantastic, battery seems to last for ages and I've never lost bonding...
I've been working in Malaysia for the past 4 years and about to return to Sydney. I have the 1.66.00WWE that came with my device and will probably keep it.
I'm using a Logitech BT headset and thought it is bigger than the SE-HBH 60 I had previously it is a lot more comfortable to wear, sounds clearer (to me and the person on other end of call) and has a longer battery life.
Very happy with it.
Ed
Thanks guys, appreciated.
Im in Melb, using 1.72.00
I havent had any problems with it, but I dont use BT headset, I do use a BT GPS quite a lot and have had no problems.
But I havent noticed that upgradeing from 1.66 really added anything worth while either. As I havent had any problems Im not going to downgrad either, but I would not recomend upgrading unless you are having some particular problem until the SE version finally comes out.
Just remember you are using Optus network, and I think after you upgrade you do require some patch in order for you GPRS to work.
Gee, guys, you're all well ahead of me... I'm still runnning mine with the 1.60.00WWE (ex. ROM 1.60.44)... wonder when I'll see an upgrade...
Besider the older version - everything's fine
I ended up trying both a Belkin and also Motorola head-set. Both had very poor quality for the inbound direction of the call, filled with crackle and echo.
My outbound direction is fine........
Anyone got a suggestion?
I have been using WM2003SE for almost 2 weeks now, and I am very satisfied with it.
I have one problem though with the BT headset. The BT headset AND the speaker on the phone is always on, when in a call. It has the advantage of being able to make conversations in stereo (phone on one ear and headset on the other) Apart from that, it is rather annoying because it seems like the microphone in the phone is the only active microphone (the receiving end is complaining of difficulties of hearing me, when I get away from the phone).
How do I become able to switch between the phone and the headset again?
BT headset: Jabra 250

i'm using jabra 200 and works fine with me. try pairing again with the device.. it might works
Thank you for the sugestion - but I have tried that - without any luck
/Steen
I'm having this problem too with my motorola HS810 headset.
I'm sure it wasn't like this at first though. I've installed bluetooth tools and tried re-pairing, everything I can think of (except a hard reset - I guess thats next though).
What apps do you have installed, perhaps we have some in common and that's causing the problem?
This never happen to 220CHS :twisted:
I'm getting the same issue with my HBH-600!
The CHS ROM, i thought this was Chinese....can i install as english?
Different ROMs
Hi guys!
Looks like some of you are using two different ROM versions, 2.02t and 2.06.
Only the first one supports, finally! the hands free profile, with the inconvenience of playing "stereo" when a headset is identified as "hands free".
The 2.06 version, does not support handsfree at all, so I discarded it after a bit of testing in my machine.
(Can't help with CHS versions, sorry)
For more info read my thread in BT carkits.
Hope it helps.
:roll:
Had the same problem. After 3 hard resets and trying a different BT headset I finally found that installing Bluetooth Tools fixed the problem. will try it out tomorrow and see if it works OK.
Hi,
I recently upgraded my ROM to version 2.06, radio 1.18 and used Sins Ext Rom version 3.5. Since the upgrade, when I use by Jabra 250 BT handsfree, people are complaining that i sound faraway or on the other side of the room when i talk. I can hear others fine. I never had this issue with my 1.60 rom that came installed with the phone.
I actually have 2 of the Jabra 250 and tried bonding with both devices to rule out a hardware error with the hands free itself and the problem occurs with both units.
I did have Pocket Bluetooth tools installed at one point and removed the program from my device and that is the only thing i can think of that might have screwed with the Radio or the BT.
Anybody out there have any ideas,
Thanks,
Danny
Hi Danny,
I did the upgrade this week end.
I have the same problem.

Hi,
New upgrade to Rom 2.20
The bt Jabra works ok.
Heya Universed,
I had the same problem when I bought my BT250, I realised that why I sounded so far away was because the headset's mic was disabled and my voice was being picked up by the XDA mic.
There are a few forum topics regarding loss of mic depending on ROM version.
I am using ROM 2.06, radio 1.18 and sins EXT rom 3.5, but I am using pocket blue tooth tools and only bonding the 250 as a headset (there are work-arounds for handsfree but the 250 doesn't seem to like them ie the mic gets disabled).
I haven't yet been able to have a handsfree solution for my 250 though hopefully a proper (not converted) ROM 2.20 may solve this.
Craig.
Well,
I ended up reflashing my ROM and building everything over from scratch and the problem has gone away. So there must be some sort of configuration issue between the 2.06 ROM and other 3rd party software that I had installed.
This time around i have yet to install Pocket Blue Tooth Tools and have yet to reisntall Voice Command 1.5. So don't really know the underlying cause but have rectified the problem just for today.
I like the idea of upgrading to 2.20 Rom but i am understand there is no English version out for my Asia copy O2? Lemme know ifI I am incorrect on that count?
Thanks,
Danny
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.
Hi I'm having problems setting up by Hermes with this headset...
I get Stereo audio setup fine, but I can't get it to setup as a headset for calls...
It says in the manual you have to pair it with a phone 1st and then with audio devices, but the Hermes sets up both profiles at the same time ?
If anyone's got this running fine and doesn't know what I'm on about, what ROM are you running please ?
Will
Im running...
OS Ver 14.123.10.702
ROM Version: 1.23.70.2
ROM Date: 08/14/06
Radio: 1.06.04.00
Hi Will, did you pair the DS970 with a different phone prior to pairing it to your Hermes? If so, you might want to reset the DS970 and pair it with Hermes only. Pairing once will give you A2DP and phone handsfree setup.
Be reminded that the DS970 will work with only one phone and this is the first phone paired. Subsequent pairings to a second or third phone will succeed but is not usable. It will pair and work with multiple music sources though.
I returned my DS970 to the shop I bought it from because of this limitation because I use 2 phones and I want to be able to take a call from my headset whichever phone rings. Got a Jabra JX10 which does the job perfectly.
Hope this helps. Good luck!
I thought Jabra JX10 not working at all for Dopod 838 Pro/Hermes?
I've tried it and no luck in getting even the phone handsfree setup...
Can u explain how did you get it work for Hermes/Dopod 838 Pro???
I really like the JX10
