so i started out with a brand new 8525 and decided to get my own set of blueteeth n ended up with the southwing sa505. i liked em, they work great, but i've now run into a new prob....the once good working mic has now decided to play a strange game with me.
the mic won't work(in or out) in ANY phone call, BUT using the note recorder i get a crisp, clean pissed off voice of myself...joy
i've taken it apart to check connections and all is fine.
upgraded the radio n did all the other crud(hardspl, unlock, blah).
upgraded from wm5 to wm6black.
no change, mic works only in note recorder, never during a call.
anybody got an idea?
there only a $30 pair of phones, but its still a waste when it could be repaired(less its something in the headset software)
Think it might be the headset...

I use a Plantronics 855, and I've never had any problem with it. Also used the V-655, and V-715 from Plantronics as well. Perhaps a different headset will solve your problem. Good Luck!
I use a sony ericsson pv705 with my 8525 and it works fine, not the best headset but still does its job!
I have never had a problem with the plantronics 510 or 520
No probs here with the Motorola H700 either.

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.
Is anybody using this headset with hermes? I am thinking of buying one, but just want to make sure they work good with 8525.
Thanks
I have one and I love it. The only issue I have (which wont effect you) is that when using it on two phones (which is the whole reason I bought it) my 8525, and a LG cu500v, it wont work on the cu500v, I had to un-pair it or I can not ever answer the phone.
But no issues with my hermes, I love the headset other than that one issue. Easy pairing, very loud earpice volume, and I have had no trouble with people hearing me.
any more info on
Plantronics Voyager 520
is it better or equal to jawbone headset ?
I saw an artical comparing it. Obviously it doesn't have the noise canceling ability of the jaw bone, but they say it comes close. I can not find it but this one is informative.

Thank you
I have the Plantronics 520 bt headset which works really well with voice on my 8525, but won't play any music. I've tried all the various cabs from this forum but none has worked. The "wireless stereo" option in the bt settings when I pair it to my 8525 is grayed out ... does this mean that the headset cannot do music at all? Even though I really like this unit, if that's true, I'll need to return it and find one that does.

Yes, but it seems like in other threads that people are able to make some sound come thru, just not a2dp quality.
I use this program to get audio to stream to my Plantronics 520 using my HTC Elfin. It works well enough, but listening to music over Bluetooth 1.2 is not so great. It's comparable to AM radio quality. I found the program in a different thread. It's from TrianglePowers who no longer have a website. Once installed you just run the app from Programs and turn on Bluetooth audio. It opens an audio channel on the headset and all audio then goes to the headset.
I've got my TP2 for over a week now, but I just can't get my carkit to work with it correctly. I've searched for solutions but couldn't find one yet.
I've got a Pioneer AVIC-F910BT radio/nav with builtin Parrot carkit. I believe it has the CK5000 or the CK5050+ OEM module.
My TP2 will pair correctly and sync of contacts works fine as well.
Problem I'm having is:
1) When I call, the sound of the radiu/iPod is not muted (need to turn down volume)
2) "Call interface" doesn't show up on the Pioneer. This should popup everytime I'm in a call. It allows me to drop the call and change volumes.
When setting up pairing I can select a bunch of phones, but non of them solve my issues. I'm not sure but I believe it might be caused because the TP2 only recognizes Hands-free and no carkit.
I've had a Samsung i600 (with JetWare) which works fine and a Nokia e75 which works fine out of the box. The JetWareMobile app doesn't work on the TP2 as it has a different Bluetooth stack.
Anyone has any idea's on how I can get my TP2 working fine with my Pioneer?
Any help is appreciated.
No one experienced this yet?
I also have problems with a parrot CK3100 which is supposed to be compatible with TP2 according to parrot web site.
This car kit is working fine with my Tytn2 and my wife's diamond.
Pairing, contacts synch, battery level and network are OK (tried "other phone" and "windows CE").
I have randomely a blank screen or some strange characters and/or disconnections with the phone. Sometimes the connection comes back automatically.
The vendor has replaced the electronic box (with a brand new one) but I still encounter the same problems...
It seems TP2 got a lot of problems with bluetooth connections. I have a brand new Volvo V70 with a built-in bluetooth carkit (off factory). Works fine with all phones (even my old HTC touch) but not with the TP2! The phone can connect but when data connection is switch on (UMTS) I can call but after that I lose controle of the phone and have no sound at all. Manual switching the data connection off solves the problem (maybe this will also solve your problems). It seems that all of the Volvo models with built-in carkit have this problem with the TP2. Besides this very annoying problem also no voice dailing is availble. How can HTC say this is a business phone with this kind of bluetooth crap.
have you checked parrots website for the latest firmware
i have a parrot carkit i think its the ck3200, and it works fine, i had massive issues with my tytn ii before with it, but with the latest update all is fine with both my tytn ii and tp2.
parrot reconised that they had issues with most wm devices about a year ago and updated their software

Pioneer in this case uses an OEM Parrot module. There are 2 versions available, 2.9 and 3.3. I've tried both, but they just wont work
I hope this can be fixed quickly.

I tried original HTC 6.5 rom for my TP2 and work flawless with my pioneer 900bt. But when adding manila 2.5 in a custom rom starts the problems..

Doubtful. Have the same problem with my MK6000 Parrot using the last available firmware. Parrot has a bad habit of stopping support on their overpriced car kits quickly, less than a year on this model. Their suggestion to me was to buy a newer model. This was their most current stereo model 12 months ago. Go figure. Mine works great for stereo connections and the sound is good, but it hangs up phone calls about ten seconds into the call. No such problems on my much older Moto 605 but its stereo sound is not as good.
Hey there,
Not sure if you've got it figured out already, but here's your solution (I assume it works for the Touch Pro2 as well): http://www.winmo.nl/pioneer-avic-f910bt-niet-goed-compatible-met-htc-hd2
It's in Dutch, for anyone who doesn't understand that, have it translated with Google Translate.
If anyone is using one with a Hero, can you get Stereo?
If so what ROM are you using and did you have to tweak anything?
I've got mine connected and get Mono (Left channel) audio only, although all the buttons and call control functions work perfectly!
I've tried tweaking the settings and enabling the headset only for Media and not phone calls to make sure thats not the problem with no luck.
My Plantronics 590a works in stereo on Modaco 3.0 without doing anything special. I know that isn't helpful but I just wanted you to know that it can work in stereo.
Edit: Radio 63.18.55.06JU_6.35.08.29
Im not sure what the difference is between the 590 and 590A variants. Maybe mine are 590A though i'm not sure how to tell (Anyone Know?)
Whats written on the sticker on your headphones? (If you don't mind looking)
Mine says:
Plantronics P590
FCCID: AL8-P590
IC: 457A-P590
Made in Mexico
Date Code: A07-B
SW:SB
I can try the 3.0 ROM and the Radio you use.. So I will give those a go.. Hopefully one of those will fix it.
Thanks for the Info
Turns out the Hero is not to blame here..
Somehow (I've used them maybe 3 times in the 1.5 years I've owned them) the right earpiece has gone faulty.
So I think they would work.. but would now not reccomend buying them as they cant be that reliable (I store them in thier case and havent dropped them or anything like that)
Thanks to the guy that replied.
My sticker is the same so we more than likely have the same headset.
I would say the same about not recommending them. Not because they are not reliable but because the sound quality is horrible. At least they are in mine
Hello, All!
Motorola phones have obviously bluetooth issues. I found 3 different threads reporting same issue, but no answers(see links on the bottom of this post):
There is no full duplex capability.
I'm owner of Motorola Photon Q, and active user of bluetooth headset. If during call my counterpart begin to speak, my handset stops to send audio to counterpart. Especially if counterpart is in loudly environment - audio stream from me stops every few seconds.
This issue occurs only by cell phone calls. If i make VoIP call with CSIPsimple softphone - i doesn't happen, and everything work perfectly.
I did tests already with 2 different devices - Motorola Photon Q(xt897), Motorola Droid 4 (xt894), and four different headsets from Plantronics, Jabra, Sony, Allereli with stock Motorola firmware as well as Cyanogenmod 10 and latest milstone builds from Cyanogenmod 11. In all cases i was able to reproduce same issue.
Questions:
1. How can i debug/localize root cause?
2. Could is be issue caused by BlueZ->Bluedroid replacement?
3. Could is be issue caused by incompatibility of Motorola phones with non-motorola BT headsets?
4. Should i post it to any other resource?

Hi there, I also experience issues with my XT897 and Bluetooth headsets. It also happens with Motorola headsets however, as I was using motorokr headsets for years until just recently, but regardless, I still have calls where the other person can't hear me at all, or they say I am very quiet.
This is intermittent however, as other people/calls work OK.
I have tried many ROM's, however I believe all the ROM's are developed from Cyanogen's base, so the issue is likely to be ingrained into them all if it is a CMRom/XT897 hardware error.
Try stock ROM & see how you go. I have for a brief time, and didn't notice any BT issues. I'm about to go back to stock (with some bloat removed) for another go.
Hope that helps.
Sent from my XT897 using XDA Free mobile app
BT answer mutes all audio, all other functions work
Two headsets - Blueparrot and cheap FM auto adapter. I can originate calls without error form wither unit. Incoming calls when answered cause the BT to be muted (both incoming and outgoing audio) but the call is connected. If I switch from BT to handset, call proceeds normally. Phone is Motorola Droid Maxx xt1080M running 4.4.4 SU6-7 "rooted" per CrashXXL, but this has never worked right. Originating call is fine, using BT to tether a tablet works fine. Only audio on answer seems mis-routed. Is there a diagnostic tool/app to examine BT connections? Oh yes, speaker phone also borked, but "Yako Elgoog" talks out of it just fine.
Replying to this thread to make sure it is saved for posteriority. I'm sure a few others have this issue. What do we have in common?
