I have a Jawbone and a HT820. I find it difficult to get my 8525 to recoginse a different headset when switching from listening to music on my HT820 to my Jawbone for driving.
Anyone have any tricks on how to manage the 2 BT headset routine?
I've been trying this yesterday with no luck. I am going to work on this again tonight and will let you know.

This doesn't answer your question, but along the same lines, is it possible to set up the jawbone to get all the 8525's audio over the earpiece? I've got a jawbone paired with the unit, but the normal audio is still piped through the speaker.

Yes there is a fix. I think it is in the Hermes(general) forum the fix does wipe out any usage of M$ VC though.

Are you on rom 2.06? Is it the rom? Because the 8525 only wants to connect to the BT device on the top of the list. It is a real pain.

Hi,
I am looking for a bluetooth stereo headset. Where can i find one
which is good sound output , reliable and long batt life. I want to be able
to listen to mp3's and calls thru my XDAIIs.
Any ideas?

Wow, a bit pricey. Do you have 1st hand experience with this device? The reason that I am asking is that tha xda II / III's have traditionally had bad bluetooth reception. Before I dish out 300 bucks I would want to make sure that it did not suffer from the same bluetooth static that the headsets are having with the xda's.

I tried many bluetooth stereo headset, and wasted hell of money on trying many of them, considering the bad bluetooth reception of the PDA2K, the best bluetooth stereo headseat works with it is motorola HS820 it works well within the range of 1 to 1.5 meters from the PDA2K.
"6 talking hours - 100 hours stand by".
I'm still waiting for the up-grade which was promissed to be developed to improve the performance of PDA2K's bluetooth reception.

Don't worry, I talked with the live chat on iMates site and they asured me that the bluetooth issue would be resoved soon.
Now that was 6 months ago and 2 ROM updates, I am still holding my breath....
The Motorola HS820 isn't a STEREO bluetooth headset, but I agree that it's one of the better regular bluetooth headsets for the phone. I also bought the Motorola HS850, which is the update to the 820. The bluetooth performance was definitely better than the 820's performance but I ended up giving it back anyway because the volume is too low for me.

don't buy this product. http://www.blueant.com.au/. I called up the guy to enquiry this product. AT first, they did not include HP IPAQ 6365 in the list of compatibility. After I talked to him, they claimed it was working properly but they did not money into their mouth so the next day, they included as part of the list of compatibilty.
second, the guy also told me that it did not include a dongle which can support A2P2 therefore it will not work for HP IPAQ 6365 as it did not have A2P2 software hence it will not answer phone call and listen to MPEQ music in stereo manner.

The Motorola HS820's volume is not low for me, but I do receive some complains "sometimes" from the other parties saying that my voice is low and they ask me to raise my voice, but some other times it works fine.
Hold on....
Are you guys talking about headset or handsfree?
So far I understand hs-850 is a handsfree bluetooth (not a headset bluetooth).
Correct me if I am wrong.
Arto.

They waiting for me at home, (I'm currently in the US) so I will let you know next week.
Well I'm listening to The Killers over HQ A2DP stereo
I had to use the BT hack stack here to get it working.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=15671&highlight=stereo+headset
I have paired the handsfree profile as well. The problem is however the handsfree is not working very. Also the pause and stop buttons don't work with WMP10.
Will post updates if I get any other stuff working.
I just got the Zonet ZUB8100 from Newegg -- only $120 after rebate (which ended yesterday). Works very well as stereo headpnones with my SX66, not so well as a voice headset. You can connect the BA to it in both A2DP and handsfree profiles simultaneously, so it should be possible to answer the phone while listening to music. No caller ID, AFAICT -- well for $120 you can't expect perfection
There's no mic boom, so the mic is in the left earpiece, a bit too far from your mouth. That in combination with the standard headset issues with the BA results in quite a bit of static and the person on the other end barely able to hear you.
Well guys, I dont recommend the Sonorix or infact any BT Stereo headset unless you like pain.
They are a peice of crap.. wasted $150 dollars Sad
Sound is muddy and they not very comfortable. (Granted I'm used to my Sennheiser HD500's). Not to mention it takes ages of fiddling to get A2DP working and then it doesnt work well.
I think Bluetooth is a waste of time. When Bluetooth2 comes out and is properly supported i might give it a second chance.
In the meantime I'm going to use these instead:
http://www.seidio.com/index_products_pda2k_headset.htm
I bought the Motorola HT 820. Works pretty good for answering phone and stereo music on sx66 after some bluetooth updating and adding profile. Not too comfy but tolerable for $89--took a couple of weeks to arrive.
Haven't used them for prolonged periods but they work for a couple of hours at a time.
Hey people anyone had a look at a set of these for thier Hermes?? (look at bottom of the page)
I was walking through town today using the standard wired headphones and found it a bit of a hassle with the wire in ma pocket cluttering up space. On expansys they say soon to be released anyone been thinking of buying a set??
Alternate BT 2.0 A2DP Plantronics Pulsar 260 cans
These are also interesting dangly headphones:
http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=139855 @ £47
The Pulsar 260 is a "pod" that connects to your musicphone over Bluetooth A2DP to provide stereo audio. A set of wired earbuds, with an inline mic, connect to the Pulsar 260 itself, where you'll find controls for track skipping and volume (which operate on the Audio/Video Remote Control Profile).
When a call comes in, the music stream is put on pause automatically - the user can take the call by pressing the button on the mic.
This control unit sporting Bluetooth 2.0 is for more discerning users with MP3-playing phones demanding high quality stereo earbuds and remote facilities for volume control and track selection.

@mrvanx: That headset looks just like the Itech S35 Clip available now in the UK I believe. Interestingly, the Itech is one of two stereo headsets known to work well with the TyTN.
That would be great, people wouldn't need a headphone Mini USB Adapter, althogh i know bluetooth stereo would be draining your battery more than usual, you can use this device and even use your own headphones (it looks like you can plug in any headphones), so if you have a dedicated pair of Shure e3c...... awesome.
Consider the R35, also from i-tech. Adds control buttons (although pause/play) don't seem to work with tytn - forward, backwards, and volume up and down do though).
I *really* like it.

Hi!
Any recommendations regarding the Plantronics Pulsar 260?
Thanx!
i have Jabra 620s (Bluetooth, stereo), working good on 1.34 Rom.
I am about to take delivery of a pair of Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 Bluetooth 2.0 stereo headphones with multipoint that should allow me to switch easily from Media Player to the phone, and hopefully also from my PC (eg Skype) to my Hermes. Question: I have been reading your posts on A2DP hacks, etc., with interest, but I was wondering if the latest HTC ROM had solved most of the problems or whether I still needed to do some tweaks to get good stereo performance.
performance is good (not great) you will still get a one second skip every 30-40 seconds.
SE HBH DS970 vs Nokia H-12W
Has anybody tried both SE and Nokia A2DP headphones? How would you compare the?
Thanks

The skip is a real drag. Any word when there will be a fix for this, if ever?
WOW didnt notice this thread had taken off!
Im really wanting something like the HTC bluetooth stereo clip, as i can use decent headphones with the TyTN untethered.
Is there anything out yet that can do the Audio/video remote functions with A2DP??? if so where cos im out of ideas and effort tonight

Have you guys eventually found a fix with the skipping issue?
I'm having this issue since I upgraded to 6.1. It was fine with previous Shap's 6.0 ROM.
Thanks.
Hi, when i talk to someone i hear my self as well on my phone. Is there a setting for this? is this normal? This only happens on the phone.

Thanks! problem solved! Here's another question. I have my headphones on and a call comes through but, i can't hear the person through my headphones. I am able to do this with my iP4. BTW it's just a pair of headphones not a headset.
Thanks!

That's why. It only routes output through the headset if it has a mic. This is an issue for some people who like to use an auxillary input in their car to listen to music and then want to answer calls over the car stereo. This would be a firmware fix, if there ever is one. I don't think there's one available.
damm that sucks. so i basically have to get headphones with a mic for it to work.That's one thing i miss about my iP4. Thanks for the info!!!
Everytime i use a bt headset when the other part talk to me and i try to speak at the same time they can' t hear me. Today i made a test: i asked my wife to count from one to ten and i did the same together. Althought i was able to hear her, she wasn't able to hear me! I tried four different headsets and the problem is common. Sorry for my bad english.
Are you using cheap BT headsets? I have my Jawbone and its works fine with no issues. If you have the money for 4 different headsets, i would get rid of them and buy the jaw bone or another higher end BT headset. also in my car, i have a pioneer BT120. full nav, BT music streaming and phone calls. no issues with that either.

Same problem with Parrot ck3000 EVO (lastest v5.25 firmware), but only if i start a call via voice command (with green button on handsfree remote). If i start call manually from phone microphone works without problem

Three different plantronics models and the other one is ford car bt system!
Here's my situation: In my car, I often have my OG connected to my stereo with an A2DP bluetooth audio receiver (without a mic). This works well for listening to music, or getting directions from the nav. However, if I answer a call while connected to it, I can hear the audio through my car speakers, but the other person can't hear me. I understand that the OG's internal mic is disabled at this point, as it is expecting a bluetooth mic to be connected. The work-around I have found is to disable bluetooth for phone calls. This plays the call audio through the phone speaker, and utilizes the internal mic like normal speakerphone.
What I would like is a mix of the two. I want the call audio to play through the car speakers, but enable the OG's internal mic so I can talk through that. Does anyone know of an app or setting I'm missing that might accomplish this?
Thanks.
No, but that sounds like it would be really easy to code if you wanted to learn some java.
(Disclosure: I don't know java)
I was hoping to use this in the next few days. I don't think I can learn java that quickly. But I agree, it seems like it should be pretty easy to accomplish. Software turns the mic off, it should be able to turn it back on.

The SoundAbout app seems like it will work when the phone is connected to a headset (audio out through headset, input via phone mic). But I can't find anything that will accomplish that when outputting audio through BT.

Yes, I tried it and it did not work with BT... After much research and testing multiple BT Manager apps I decided to return the BT adaptor and I'll think about buying a full BT hands-free connector...

Yeah, I think I might be forced to go with that Belkin adapter shown in the link above, which Is too bad because I was hoping not to spend anymore money, haha.
phone mic instead of bluetooth device
I had the same problem. I got fed up and decided to move the bluetooth mic to a more convenient location in my car, since I could not disable it. Before I re-positioned the un-soldered mic to a new location, I decided to make sure my soldering did not inadvertently damage any of the device. To my delight, without the mic being physically present, it defaulted to my phone mic. So, for me at least my problem was solved by removing the mic in question. I have no idea if it will work on other bluetooth devices.
any progress?
Just for info, after much research I don't think this is possible as Android does not allow routing of call audio to A2DP at all, probably due to security reasons?
I just plug a lead to the headphone jack and patch into the auxiliary input of my stereo. I also had one of those USB dongal Bluetooth receivers that worked exactly that way but it stopped working and other ones don't work, the one that did work was able to connect to phone audio as well as media audio. So it seems that if the mic can be disabled form the other end the Android mic will kick in. Android OS sucks you cannot do anything with the hardware. PC's piss over Google.
They probably don't do it because of latency error affecting feedback canceling. And what has external hardware got to do with security. Google just uses it as an excuse to getaway with marketing an inferior OS.
I wonder if I can replicate this. I need to kill the awful mic in my car Bluetooth so I can use phone mic
Has anyone tested this with non-native Calls like Skype, Facebook Calling, Zoom.US, what's app etc.?
it's totally unacceptable that I can use A2DP stereo audio + Computer Built in Microphone, but I can't do this with android!
Companies are taking off the headphone jack but they haven't figured out HD Bluetooth microphones yet!
Are any updates on this thread? maybe some apps could rout mic?
