Has anyone used the i-Tech Clip IIs with a PPC-6600 (HTC Harrier) before? Does it even work with the PPC-6600 (HTC Harrier)? Can you actually hear your music and movies and stuff with it?
How big is it? I'm guessing it's a little box, with a built in mic, with a headphone jack. So you plug in the headphones to be able to hear your calls (and movies and stuff) and you use the built in mic for talking on the phone. Is this correct?
Does anyone know of another Bluetooth headset that will let you talk on the phone and listen to movies, music, etc? it doesn't have to be stereo. It can be a single ear clip, as long as it allows you to hear movies, music, system sounds, etc.
Any info on it would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know of a adapter I can use to connect my 8525 to my car cassette player to play some mp3s?
Casette adapter
I'm using regular (wired) casete adapter which I got from RadioShack and connect it to R35 which in its turn is paired with TyTN. By this I can listen mp3 stored in mн PDA as well as on-line radio through car speakers. I should note that quality is much better than I expected, better tha regular radio (not HD )
Wonderful news thanks..
I installed the Sony MEX-BT5000. Its able to stream audio from the tytn via BT. Very nice, it connects automatically when I start the engine. I also use it as my handsfree for calls. At first, callers said they couldnt hear me loudly, so I flipped down the faceplate during calls and now calls are good. This is because the mic is behind the faceplate.
Just thought I'd throw it out there...another option to connect the tytn wirelessly.

This is wonderful news because I was just looking into some bt radios..
Do you have a BT headset? I'm curious if I can still use my headset while in the car and just do the audio part..
I do have a BT headset, but I found that the combination doesnt work well. I tried to split the audio streaming to the headunit, and then the handsfree to the headset, but the results were unreliable at best.
I've found that the headunit mic is good enough quality to speak through, as long as you flip down the faceplate. If you dont want to use the handsfree, you can use the audio only and regular Tytn phone. The BT connections are separated by Sony.
Interestingly enough, I was able to internet radio stream via BT to the headunit, and run Tomtom navigator 5 BT GPS unit at the same time. The music volume was decreased and the directions came over the music.
I guess I could just turn off my headset while in the car. I assume it will mute the radio when calls come through..
So you don't get any skipping or anything while playing mp3s?
Do you store your mp3s on a storage card?
Mp3s stored on storage card and internet radio streaming doesnt skip connected via bluetooth.
What is a R35? Is it a BT radio reciever of some sort?
hi
I walk to work and back everyday and I listen to my DAB radio all the time.
Problem is (and I realise its not the biggest problem in the world) I can't hear my phone so always miss calls.
Can anyone think of a solution so I can get audio from my DAB into the Hermes so I can listen to the radio and when I get a call, it interupts the audio? I thought about using the mini usb but that only has a mic in and if I use that, if the phone rings all they'll hear is my radio
Its a big of an expensive solution but would this work?:

So I bluetooth audio to my Hermes then use the wired headphones/mic to listen to it and if I get a call, the audio stops?!
Would that work?
thanks in advance

You could just have your phone on ring AND vibrate and keep it in your pocket so you feel it.
Just an idea
Try these instead. http://www.plantronics.com/north_america/en_US/products/cat1150057/cat5420035/prod29780013
I have had a pair for about a year and the sound is great. You can connect the included dongle your DAB or any other non blue tooth audio device and set up a link between your phone and the dongle with the headset. While you are listening to your music from the DAB if you receive a call the headset silences the music and you can answer the call directly from the headset. When the call ends your music resumes automatically. I may be a little pricier than device you listed but works like a charm.
Note make sure you look at the 590a not the 590e. The 590e does not include the dongle.
Also don't purchase it directly from Plantronics site. You can get it for about $100 if you search the web for it.
I've read that some newer bluetooth headphones can be paired with two devices at once. I'm curious if the following scenarios are possible:
1) While listening to music on my Prime with the headphones, a call on my phone will ring through on the headphones. I can then use the headphone controls to answer or drop the call, after which the music on my Prime will continue.
2) While listening to music on my phone, I can start a Youtube video on my Prime, which pauses my phone's music and begins the Youtube audio on the headphones. Once finished the music on my phones resumes.
Is anyone using their bluetooth headset with both their phone and Prime?
Yes you can it os possible

Butbonly on newer headsets

What your looking for is commonly called MULTIPOINT. Most higher or even mid end bluetooth headsets will let you connect to two or more devices at the same time. Consider if you are paying more than, say, $50 for a half decent headset it SHOULD have it. If it doesnt have at least multipoint 2 i wouldnt get it.
To stream music you are looking for A2DP or AVRCP.
A2DP is your basic music streaming. Much higher quality than your standard voice protocols, keps the music from sounding too tinny.
AVRCP is more fancy, my car stereo has this where i can use media buttons (forward, back, pause, etc.) to control the music. Depending on the device it may also display track information.
Now that we got the hardware side down, lets move on to your scenerios.
You can have media connected to ONE device and voice connected to ONE device for most quality bluetooth headsets. You can play music and if you get a call it will PAUSE the music to notify of the incoming call. Easy.
The second scenario is a bit more complicated. You can only stream music from ONE device at a time. If i have my bluetooth connected to my phone and my computer at the same time for audio i can play movies from my computer to the headset then play audio from my phone to the headset but if i have ANY audio coming from the computer the headset wont accept music from the phone. In most cases i find it easier to turn off bluetooth on my laptop when i want to hear music from my phone, or at least turn off all media players and wait ~30 seconds before switching devices.
In all, yes it can be done, much how others have said, but now hopefully you know what to look for. I remember how difficult it was for me jumping into this blind, maybe my information can help you buy the right hardware. Good luck!
Additionally, which headset are you going with?

Through research I believe the Samsung HS3000 is a good option. It has a new bluetooth music codec called Apt-X which is supposed to be higher quality than A2DP if both the headset and phone/tablet support it.
If I go that route I'll try to upgrade my phone to a Samsung SIII or HTC One X which both support Apt-X. The Transformer Prime unfortunately does not, but I'll only use it to watch quick internet videos while browsing in this case.
for primairy use of listening to music / movies, that should be decent. The mic placement makes me think that it would not be as good for calls as a headset you wear on your ear but it depends how often you use it.
Never heard of Apt-X, will have to research it probably part of bluetooth 3.0, different frequency, more bandwidth. should be interesting!
Whenever my phone is connected to my stereo through A2DP, the music is played through loudspeakers only by default. However, when there's an incoming call and my ringtone is being played I can hear it through loudspeakers AND the phone speaker, which creates a pretty cool surround effect. I'd really love to make my music player interact with all the speakers like this all the time. I took my chance installing various apps like SoundAbout to help me figure it out, all to no avail. Any ideas?
Unlikely. There may be a way but it definitely involves some kind of hacking.
Hello!
I have an older car with a very nice new stereo, which I love. When I play XM or FM it plays through all four speakers without issue. When I connect my phone in any manner (USB, Bluetooth, audio cable) and with any app (Play Music, iHeart, basically all music apps on my phone), I only get sound from the front two speakers. I'm inclined to believe it's a setting in my phone and not something with my stereo. Is there a setting or app which will allow my phone to play through all of my speakers?
