before i buy jabra 250 . is it work well with pda2k now after the new rom????
also do you have something better than jabra?
jabra 250
no good 4 a xda2
jabra also confirm this if asked
so which bluetooth headset is best ?
Sony Ericsson Akono HBH-300 ok ?
Mine works faultlessly with my XDAII.
Mine works, but there is no actual handsfree. i.e. you cannot do a last number redial, as with the wired headphones, so I presume it is not legal to use in UK when driving?
When you ring someone there is a second delay then the XDA transfers the call to the headset. When you recieve a call you have to press the answer but on the headset then it is transfered. You don't get it ringing in your ear. Well mine doesn't.:-(
Regards
I get ringing in my ear with mine and no dely when transferring.
I can confirm that only answering and ending calls work. There is no dialing on LNR.

I have a blue angel ( SX-66) and neither my BT200 or 250 work with it....
The Stack is too old as well so my BT keyboard will not work either !
Stay away from Jabra 250 on these phones. Jabra 200 *might* be ok.
HBH-300, HBH-660, Plantronics M3000, Logitech Freedom are few that work well.
HS820 will work but audio is poor compared to above head sets.
You can patch that SX66 with i-mate patches.
Hard Reset and apply these in this order.

Here is some commentary from Tech Support. Does this make any sense?
Dear Sir.
Thank you for writing in and for your query. Regarding your issue, I would like to tell you that you should install the Bluetooth patches after upgrading your device in order to fix the device Bluetooth issues. On the other hand, regarding Bluetooth headsets, Sony Ericsson HBH-65, Cellink, Jabra and Motorola headsets work perfectly with i-mate devices. Most of these headsets have been tested by i-mate technical team. There have not been any reported complaints regarding these headsets as they are quite compatible and error free with the i-mate™ devices.
Regarding Plantronics M3000 Bluetooth headset have not been tested yet from i-mate technical team.
On the other hand, make sure that your headset has the following specifications: Bluetooth Ser. Version 1.1 and supports the headset profile.
I brought a jabra 250 and didn't know it had problems with this device 100$ later I reallized that it doesn't work it pairs and I can hear people but if I am more than 2 feet from the phone the audio become muffled.
my coworker has a nokia headset. and the same thing happened.
I am not sure what my bluetooth version is but I I do have the latest roms.
Hi,
I have the Jabra BT200 with the non bluetooth adapter and I get more crackle in my ear that I get out of my bowl of Rice Krispies! And there is no point in using the adapter with it when the headset is bluetooth and is supposed to work with my MDA III. Oh! and for the record... I also have the SX56 and the bluetooth adapter and it didn't work with that device either. When I plugged it in the jack and turn on the set , no sound. Jabra is a decent product. But lets face it, Any company that is going to make anything or install anything Bluetooth need to stick with one set of Bluetooh frequency protocols instead of trying to make it customized to work with just certain devices. Because everybody is not going to stick with the same headset or the same phone and people upgrade all the time and others just stick with what works. In my research I did fine that any of the Plantronics headsets (M2500 best pick) works well. Which I will pick up this weekend. I hope this helps. Cheers everyone.

using a bt200
I'm using a blue angel (XDA2s) with a Jabra BT200 headset, I have installed the recently released patch from o2 to fix the bluetooth problems, and now I find it works ok, audio is reasonable withing a couple metres, gets a bit flaky further away but I'm never sure if that's the bluetooth or network signal in my house!
It IS slightly annoying that you can't do dialing, not even last number redial from your headset, but mostly if I'm driving I'm not making calls, merely expecting them, so I can answer on my headset OK and talk to the caller. I DO get a short ring tone in my ear (series of short beeps).
I got my headset free with my phone so I'm happy to live with it's limitations til I've finished paying for Xmas, then I might ebay it and buy an officially supported one which I can do LNR with.
I have heard (dont know if anyone can confirm) that the blue angel doesnt support voice dialling via your headset (for any bt headset) as the bluetooth headset doesnt take over the microsoft for all applications on the blueangel.
Jabra FS-258 (Jabra 250 + car charger)
No problems here (crackle) after upgrading to the 3500 stack. Making voice commands isn't the fault of the gadget -- blame the stack on the XDA. Originally bought mine for the SE T68i and it worked perfect. Moving to the SE K700i the call button didn't work anymore. So, this is a software driver implementation problem definitely. The best thing about the Jabra is its linked to all the previous devices and I just have to turn off the bluetooth on one so the connection hops to the other. Seamless integration with the XDA IIs.
My Jabra 250 works perfectly on my the XDA II and my XDA IIs. On the IIs i do get some crackle/static related to the bad stack especially so after the 3500 update but hopefully that will be fixed soon, anyway that is no fault of the headset.
Also on the IIs it is extremely loud and i had to turn it down. I always had it on full on the II.
On both II and IIs there is a ringing in the headset aswell as the devices ringing.
It is a shame that handsfree is not fully supported still in the new IIs.
o2 don't like making it easy to find out about compatability, do they?
There's the list on the my-xda website, but that's not very exhaustive.
Muggins here phoned up customer services trying to find out whether the Logitech stuff worked. After taking me through security, I got another number...
...which was engaged for 20 minutes.
So, eventually I got thru, and was told to phone customer services (on a different number) and ask for data support.
I got through there. "Nick", a helpful chap, then passed me onto tech support.
Tech support insist that the only things that work are the:
SonyEricsson HBH200 and 65, and the Nokia HS 4W, 3W, HD W3 and W2.
I suspect they are talking what is known technically as "balls".
This site seems much more helpful...
I've got a Motorola HS850 BT headset, and while working out of the box with my T-Mobile MDA III, for now the ROM version 1.06.00, I get a lot of static and people say they cannot hear me on the other side, while I can hear them -- though with some static.
Is this a BT problem which is fixed in a new ROM version -- i.e., would reflashing the ROM help and worth doing in this case?
What version of BT do you have? 3500 or 3900 (available as a cab file in the ftp) would help if you are not already at that level, also which radio version are you running?
Just upgraded to Radio 1.13 and BT 3900. A different kind of static -- all the time, lower intensity, annoying to no end. Can talk, but as in a thunderstorm...
Bringing MDA III closer to the headset solves the problem, but defeats the whole idea of hands-free -- I have to hold it at chin level, might speak into MDA as well...
Are there any tunable parameters for BT? Does it make sense to try a different headset instance (same/diff. model)?
Which headset works best with MDA III, in the local experience?
I am using the HS850 with a XDA IIs Radio 1.13 and BT V3900 I get static if I am not in line of sight and or exceed 3 feet away from the handset. Other then that it works ok. I was using a SE 660 headset and it was terrible. The Blueangel BT leaves a lot to be desired. Do you know someone else with a HS850 that will let you borrow it for a bit?
my Radio 1.12 and BT 3900 ... i got two bluetooth headsets. one is bluespoon AX. another is motorola HS-820.
my xdaIIs can pair with both of them. HS-820 working perfect but not the bluespoon AX. can talk unless i hold my xda2s on my hand. not inside my pocket or leather case.
I really prefer to use my AX .... . really headache!! anyone able to work with his /her xdaIIs with bluespoon AX??
Hi all.
Shure will be releasing their new "I" series this week. Apparently they will have several models that will meld high quality stereo earbuds with a mic. Shure says that the single plug 2.5mm model will work with the Treo, but no mention of other 2.5mm devices.
Anyone care to comment on whether they will work on the Wizard? I hope so since I don't want to be relegated to using the stock headphones/mic that came with the device.
TIA!
Shure's response on I-Series
My email to them:
I own an i-mate JAM Windows Mobile Pocket PC which has a 2.5mm 4-conductor
headset jack. Will your Treo version of the I Series work with my phone,
and if not, is there an adapter I can purchase?
Their response:
The Treo version will not work with the PPC. Here is the adapter:
http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main~u...ccessories-Audio+Adapters~item~PPCPADPT14.htm[/url]
You will then use our I series DUAL connector version with the adapter giving you phone and stereo music with a flick of the switch through your PPC. If you then have a separate mp3 player you can then use the one side of the I series for music and then plug the phone side into your phone without the adapter to take a phone call. The above adapter gives you phone and stereo music or you can eliminate the adapter for just phone calls and free up the headphone jack for another device. Thanks!
Shure I Series with Treo Connector (i2cT, i3cT, i4cT)
The Shure I Series with the Treo connector works on my i-mate JAM.
Seidio sells an in-the-ear headset w/ mic. The same model number (BD3-H2ERNTR650-BK) is sold for use with
Palm Treo 650 / 700w
Audiovox SMT 5600
HP iPAQ hw6500 Series
i-mate Jam / SP3 / SP3i / PDA2
MDA II / Compact
O2 XDA II / IIi / II mini
Orange SPV C500 / M1000
Qtek 8010 / S100 / S110 / 2020 / 2020i
So I thought it was fairly safe to order the Shure i2cT for my JAM. As I said, they work. I even left myself a message on my home phone to test the mic. It works. And the sound is fantastic. I've sampled a little of everything and I am very impressed (Biggie Smalls, Cracker, Thievery Corporation, Miles Davis, Devin the Dude).
The only drawback is that there is no answer/end call button (there is a microphone mute switch and a volume control).
I'm not sure if your device is listed above (or a clone), but if so, I would imagine the Shure I Series with the Treo connector (i2cT, i3cT, i4cT) would work for you.
If there is no answer/end button, how do you answer calls?
If there is no answer/end button, how do you answer calls?
You have to use the buttons on the phone to answer/end calls. Some headsets have a button on the in-line mic that you can press to answer an incoming call, saving you from having to pull the phone from your pocket. The Shure I Series does not have this button.
I wonder if this one would work with the 8125?

... is what we need for those and other BT stereo cans to (fully) works, which is going to be a ways out. apparently MS is pushing for push email functionality over audio capabilities. i guess more people want push email ... :roll:
MDash,
Here is the response I got from Shure:
Hi Stephanie,
Our I series will be compatible with your Wizard. However, there will be some limitations.
The single jack version we have for smartphones is only completely compatible with the Treo 700W and 650.
The dual jack version is the one that will work with your Wizard. It is a stereo headset that is designed to work with two different devices at once - a cell phone and an mp3 player.
You can use the headset with your phone and answer calls, text message, etc. All of it's functions. You will also be able to listen to music via your phone. BUT...Here is the limitation - the audio will only be able to work in a mono sound for both ears. So you will hear the music in both ears, but it won't be true stereo.
The other jack, which fits iPods and DVD/CD players, etc. will work just fine on every portable device. You can listen to your music and as soon as a call comes in you just switch the headset to your phone and talk.
Hope this clears things up for you.
Best Regards,
Kevin Blankenberber

You say that yours sounds great, but that you just cannot answer a call with the button. Why is this rep giving me a different story. Do they just not have it together over there?
Well, I'm looking at getting some shure headphones to work with my Wizard and would really like for the sound to be stereo. I need to know if the Treo compatible version will produce stereo sound with a Wizard. The Shure site says the Treo version is Wizard compatible... If it is not then I might as well get the dual connector version and a 2.5-3.5mm adapter.
I dislike headphones not having a volume control so the standard shure E2C are not an option.
Shure i2C-t works, in stereo

I have the Sure i2C-t and it works great with my 8125 - no adapter - definitely gives stereo sound (Beatles songs are a good test for this) - the sound is awesome, and it works well for making and receiving calls also, except for having to push the buttons on the phone, as mentioned.

Hi!
Is there a headset-Adapter with Micro-Support available (2x 3,5mm Connectors, one for speaker, one for micro) available? I do not want do solder.
Another question:
I have an old Siemens Bluetooth-Headset. Its working fine with the integrated Phone-Application but not with Skype, SJPhone, MediaPlayer,...
Any solution available?

Johannes

I dont understand your question. The hermes comes with a wired headset. Besides, the headset connector is not a standard jack. so you have to solder anyway.
Ok, one more try.
i am not happy with the original headset. I have a great sennheiser Headset (for the pc with 2x 3,5mm jack) and i want to use this headset with my TyTN.
There are adapters on the market with one 3,5mm connector (for speakers) so maybe there is also an adapter with 2x connectors available to use also the micro.

I got a mini USB to mini headset adaptor for my wife's RAZR and it works well on the RAZR. I haven't tried it on my Cingular 8525 yet, but I'm guessing it will work fine. I got it off of eBay for a few bucks.
The headset that comes with the unit is actually pretty nice. It has the wires to deal with, but it has decent quality and nobody has complained about my voice being underwater or sounding like a speakerphone when I talk on it.
I also use the default headset to listen to MP3's using Windows Media Player (stored on the 1GB micro SD card). The music comes through fine in stereo, and when the phone rings, WMP auto-pauses and the headset starts working in phone mode, taking the mono signal and splitting it to both ears. And when I hang up from the phone call, my song resumes right where it was paused without me having to hit PLAY.

Good idea, Music Man!
I found it for just $7 with free shipping - http://www.emtcompany.com/products/adapters/cnyv3to3-motorola-razr-v3-to-35mm-headphone-adaptor.htm
Just ordered, don't know if will work with the Hermes (my 8525) but I figure why wouldn't it...
It will not work because the Hermes and Trinity use a strange hybrid connector with extra pins for the headset.
Look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280439
Yeah, I actually tried the RAZR adapter at the local Cingular store on my TyTN. And it does NOT work.

If it doesn't work, like others claim, I will buy it from you for the price you paid for it. My wife needs another adaptor for her razr phone. Send me a PM or email.

Martin fields apparently says theirs is compatible with the Dopod 838 Pro (HTC Hermes).
Might wanna give it a shot.

Hi, I have bought it last week and confirm it is working great!
Great stuff. Thanks for the confirmation.
The Martin Field (http://www.doml.com.sg/productdec.as..._dash&pid=2698) sure looks to me like an adapter for stereo headphones (no microphone) with 3.5 mm jack. The following looks like a an adapter for a mono headset (microphone and single earphone) with a 2.5 mm jack:
http://igonemobile.com/products/html/61315310.html
I haven't tried it, but am considering.
Thought of Bluetooth headphones?
On top of having a Jabra bluetooth for use in the car and other places, I just purchased two Jabra BT620 Bluetooth Stereo Headsets from Amazon (only $37 a piece) for my wife and I. These are rechargeable and stereo via bluetooth! The cool part is that they also have a built-in microphone so if I get a phone call and I accept the call (either via a headset button on the headset or via the phone, the music automatically stops and the phone can be answered. It's kind of weird to hear a phone call in stereo, but both the speakers and mic works great!
Of course, all the controls for listening to music are there ... play & pause, fast forward/backward ... volume ... answer call ... etc.
We even purchased a small bluetooth adapter so she can use her headset with her iPOD too (I use my phone as my all purpose device, including a MP3 player).
Anyways, these are fantastic for the price. Sure, the Motorola version of these are sweet, but at over twice the price, I'd expect it to be that way!
I hope this helps!
Hi,
Today gone my A2DP Stereo Headset and now I need to buy something instead. I prefer something like my old Jabra bt8010 which was hanged on my ears without any clips (as is in new jabra models).
Could someone suggest me something what will be working with HTC HD2
TIA
I have the Plantronics BackBeat 903 headset, which works very well with the HD2, and will use the same micro-USB charger.

I picked one of these up when it was called the "Altec Lansing Backbeat 903."
Regardless - I can recommend it but I've found that the bluetooth connection isn't as stable/strong as with my previous phone (HTC Touch Pro) when the phone is in my pocket.
yea the signal isnt strong doesnt give me the 10m it should without breaking up. I use the senheiser px210 not cheep but sound is amaizing aptx ready bought the apt x dongle but dont need it as they sound very good work very well with audio and video no sync issues while whatching video

OI have tested many and they are all different. My favorite is the LG HBM-570. It is not A2DP, but has the best sound, and accesses the contacts to announce the caller. Since MS Voice Command doesn't seem to work --- Anybody get VC to announce the caller in the bluetooth??? ---- BlueAnt Q-1 will announce, but you have to update the headset manually, and you have to listen to an annoying phrase every time you want to voice dial.
And at last I have bought another one Jabra BT8010.
