Maybe it's just bad luck.
I bought one pair of these off ebay and the microphone didn't work.
It's paired and connected for phone and music. Music control and playback is great. When a phone call comes, the music stops and plays my ring tone in my ear. I answer with the button on the side, but this is where the problems start. While in a phone call I can hear the other person, but they can't hear me. The microphone simply doesn't work. I try tapping and blowing to register any sound, and there's nothing.
All the websites say this is supported by the G1, but I'm starting to not believe it. Does anyone have any experience with this? Am I doing something wrong?
Then I bought a pair from Best Buy. Same thing.
Thank you.
The same thing happened to me actually when I was testing out various bluetooth headsets. Looked like a bit of an idiot in town talking to myself haha. I've not had a chance yet to test a different headset and indeed if the recent fixes (look in the development section for the thread by Meltus) actually work.
Well, IDK, because I have Cupcake and it doesn't work. I think I'm just gonna throw in the towel and return the Best Buy one... and use it just for music, not phone calls...
Official Cupcake (OTA) or a modified one? If you haven't already I would recommend rooting your mobile phone and slapping on the Dude build, this along with the Meltus audio mod has fixed the bluetooth issue.
In my signature there is a link to the FAQ if you need instructions on how to root etc.
Oh man. I used to mess with my Wing so much. I had open touch, touch it, thought about ICP, and everything, but the G1 seems like something I really shouldn't mess with. It seems too... integrated.
On top of that, are there any guarantees this would make my s9-hd work in call?

I have the S9 headset and works fine with my phone, i am running JF1.5
s9-hd
i have the s9-hd bought from someone off of craigslist. pairs perfectly and bass hits hard
Hmm... guess I am s.o.l. Maybe I'll give it another shot, but I think I'm just cursed.
The music is great, the sound quality in call is great, but the mic won't connect, or something.
i had the same problem while on JF 1.51 so i decide to try another rom and it been working fine on cyanogenrom idk if ur into the rooting of ur g1 but that seem to be the only fix for me
I am using the S9 SYN1902 A, they work fine for me on jf 1.50 and jf 1.51.
I had some problems with the s9-hd at first on my G1, but have eventually grew to really like it. I wear it everywhere listening to podcast and shoucast streams using Streamfurious. It has worked about the same using the stock mod and now CM 3.8.6.1.
1. first off it didn't fit my head, but kept stretching it before each use and after about 5 days it now fits perfectly and I can wear it for hours without any fatigue or ear strain.
2. You have to make sure that you turn bluetooth on the G1 first for auto-pairing to work properly.
3. I'd like to get an arm case for the G1 because the audio will cut out by having it in pants pocket. I can use it no problem by placing it in my laptop bag on the go.
4. I have had a strange problem with pairing the headset set, but that was resolved by turning off the radio and turning it back on.
Do these have InEar headphones or standard ones?
For example, are they like this (inear):

the first ones (they come with different sized buds)
JJ, they are more like the in-ear version (but I would say they are not quite as tight as other noise-cancelling in ear headphones I have tried - a good balance imho).
I have this set for almost a year now using it daily (while commuting to work, during exercise, commuting home, and sometimes in the evening while hanging out at home). They have really worked great and I have definitely gotten A LOT of use out of them. However I think they are finally starting to flake out on me. They still work, but not the colored light no longer flashes while I charge it, tho it still seems to charge. Also, some other times while working out the volume starts to beep uncontrollably. Turning the headset off and on again doesn't always work, so I think some sweat might be seeping into the unit causing it to short out. After leaving the unit sit for a while (1hr+) it again seem to work just fine. go figure. Also the adhesive on the back of the unit is definitely starting to peel more and more. If I am unable to mod the S9-HD to breathe more life into it I might be back in the market for a new A2DP headset in the near future.

ok im running 5.0.2H and it has stereo bluetooth right? have to make sure of that first lol.
In my car I dont have bluetooth, I just have the standard AUX input. So I was thinking of buying some type of adapter to plug into my AUX plug on my cars headunit that can then connect via bluetooth to my G1 to play stereo music.
Can someone recommend some good devices that would help me get this done? Thanks
didn't your G1 come with a headset??? if so you can plug any normal 3.5mm plug into it and it should work fine foger the dongle thing. personally mt G1 camr with a two piece headset, one that plugged into the phone and allowed a 3.5 mm headset plug, and the earbuds that plugged into the first piece. just get a male/male 3.5mm jack and plug it into the first piece, it should work fine
yes I know I can plug a stereo aux cable into my g1 with the dongle but I dont want to. i want to connect wirelessly via stereo bluetooth
any help please?
I've got a friend who uses this dongle with his car sound system and it seems to do the job pretty well: http://www.porta-charge.co.uk/accessory_0283.html
Also try searching google for '3.5mm bluetooth adapter' and a few show up with some reviews.
EDIT: Actually I think that device I linked to is a transmitter that plugs into his iPod and transmits to his bluetooth stereo. Try googling for '3.5mm bluetooth receiver', seems there's a couple of devices that will do that for you, they seem pricey though.
Something like this, perhaps? http://www.gadgetworld.co.uk/p/Mavizen_BluDock_Bluetooth_Receiver.htm
I'm gonna get this but it the website has really slow shipping times since it's from Hong Kong...
i have this just came in today haven't had a chance to use it yet but its smallish and has decent reviews from most places
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-s705..._1_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1239929599&sr=1-1
yeah godsfilth I was looking at that. can you please tell me how well it works with the G1? I was thinkign of that.

Looks good and a good price too. Pleast post how well it works when you get a chance. Are you running Haykuro?
Im interested in that too.. anyone confirm working?
So considering that godsfilth never posted his evaluation of the Motorola s705 I thought that I would. I figured the specs and price was good, it's still available for $30 from Amazon. Long story short, it works like a charm. For reference I'm now running Dudes .92 with the new radio.
The music streaming connected right away from the default media player. Play, pause, and track changes worked fine. If you hold the "phone" button it will do the voice dialing. I've always found it a bit flaky myself but that's android not the blue tooth adapter.
Once connected it basically acts as the mic and speaker for the phone. The only drawback is that the track controls on the device only work with the default media player. I use mixzing a lot, and the audio comes through fine but if i try to use the controls on the adapter it also launches the default player. I think this might be on the android side though.
Overall, it's well worth the $30.

(mentioned earlier by amgupt01) from DealExtreme for $13. Works like a charm - PlugnPlay. Never again wired headset!
Shipped in 9 days to Sweden (from HK) - actually it arrived to Sweden after 5 days - then the Swedish Postal Service went on vacation, obviously - Not bad, considering shipping is free from DealExtreme.

I just got the s705 in the mail today. The FM receiver works just fine but the BT is a little weird. Like benmyers2941 said, only the default music player will respond to the input from the headset. But when music is playing, every now and then, the playback would pause, then immediately resume at random times. I don't have a clue why. Could the device be faulty, is it my G1, or my FW. I'm running JF's 1.5.
Edit:
I think I have figured out why it was showing these symptoms. I did a wipe and switched to Haykuro's latest and the symptoms went away. After the wipe I realized that I was also running Open Overclock beforehand. If someone could try to use this device while running Open Overclock and confirm/deny that the symptoms are present, then that would point out whether it was the FW or Open Overclock.
Nope. I don't think it's Open OverClock. I think that the device is defective. It will only do that "pause and resume" thing when I'm walking. For what ever reason I can't fathom, it worked perfectly after i made the wipe yesterday. But today, it doesn't work properly. I even put both the phone and s705 in the same pocket. I've tried restarting both while on a walk, but that didn't help. Also, I've had regular conversations on my BT125 with no problem, the same with the default earbuds the phone came with. Does anyone know how I can determine which has the defect?
Well, the usual way - Try the s705 with another phone and/or try your G1 with some other A2DP headset. Can't see any other way to find who to blame.

Hey,
Just a thanks to you guys for the headsup about the $13 bluetooth thingy from dealextreme, just got mine yesterday.
When I heard that the G1 had no 3.5mm jack I was really dissapointed.
As gadgeteer and an audiophile, I was keen to try bluetooth stereo out, but to be honest I wasn't really expecting much (I mean, the G1 doesn't even have a equalizer!)
How wrong was I! Sound quality is excellent, I truely am shocked! I could quite happily replace my Sony mp3 player with the G1 and stereo bluetooth.
This little bluetooth jack will keep me happy until the market in bluetooth headphones explodes after Apple enters the fray.
One comment though, sometimes I can hear the pitch of the audio speedup or slowdown.. not sure if this is the receiver or the phone, not too fussed about it though.
Oh, and having no wires running around your body totally rocks!
Yeah, after a few weeks, I'm still very satisfied. With my use (biking to and fro work) it lasts > one week between charges. Haven't noticed any pitch drift - but then all I listen to is .977 The 80s Channel using StreamFurious. Beats the hell out of any OTA radio station where I live!
One thing - Without using too great force, I managed to pry away the clip - and the spring just vanished into thin air! The clip was easy to put back, but now it's just dangling there. So be carfeul when "operating" the clip.

Hey,
i have a huge Problem. Somehow the sound of my phone kind of only works with headphones.
Sometimes the rear speaker will give sounds but generally the windows media player never works with the speaker.
Strangely though the alarm works with the speaker. But when i get a phone call, the microphone and the front and rear speaker dont work. if i plugin the earphones it works fine, but as soon as i pull them out it doesent work anymore...
ive tried using different roms but it just wont work.
I have the feeling my system thinks the headphones are plugged in all the time and doesent recognise, when they get pulled out.
Anyone got an idea?
Greets

Let me tell you that i have exactlly the same problem
My device recognise that a hands free kit is still inserted even when i unplug it !!!
so, when i get an incoming call or alarm event, the internal speaker works.
Otherwise, no sound till i plug in the hands free kit.
any help please !!!
I have a Qtek s200 3G
thanX
Mine is a Vodafone vpa compact-s
g4.
Does anyone have an idea what we can do?
I have had this problem before and it eventually just worked again.
But im not sure if it happened by chance or if i did something...
And well... i´m stuck with the same problem agaain
Greets
David
Let's ask firstlly if that is a hardware or a soft issus ???
And i suppose that is a hardware problem !
in the other hand, i disassembled my Qtek looot's of times and i didn't find any dammaged thing wich corresponds to the sound !!!
any way that was just my oppinion !
waiting for experienced users to help...
Sound problem fix
I had the same problem. Easy fix. Blow in the earphone hole a few times.
It worked for me. Guess there was dirt inside.
you have to open your device like what i did.
But be carefull.
if don't know how to open your device, i advice you to not to do it.
ask an experienced hands to heal your Prophet
after opening your device, look at the jack, you will see it covered, its actually covered by a lil plastic cover that you can pop off with a small screw driver. the jack will be like this

when you unplug the earphones, the metal parts shown in the red circle on the photo must be connected.
when you put in the earphones the metal parts must be disconnected.
that's all
Good luck.

ThanX to camilo26sk for the picture.
...I think it's not secessary at all....... I had the same problem and I did:
(DO THIS ON YOUR OWN RISK!!!)
1st. Put a .mp3 song using your mp3 player (for example tcpmp or windows media player)
2nd. Insert your 2.5mm headphone jack one time, two times, three times...and revove it doing a little angle..(similar to lever)
3rd. If you can't make your speaker sing, try to insert a different item through the speakers hole (be careful!!!)
I repaired it and I never had the same problem!!!

Sound Problem
I had the same problem as you. As " specter16" said, the problem is the hardware inside the 2.5mm jack. After plugging in the headfones in and out a few times the problem occured and i had to open my device again. I never found a real solution, and so I started to use Bluetooth-Headphones (iTech Blueband)
I use them now for about 2 years....
Maybe anyone of you will try them^^
Hi
I need advise wich bluethoot set to use.
I will have a mono set, only on one side of head
Most important
1) works with X10 mini Pro, the person i talk to hear me, and i hear her
2) Fitting to ear, preferably not a thin plastic bow/clamp (ref HTC headset)
thats it. I fitting that let's me work with both hands on a building site.
I would like to get comment from people who have X10 and a working headset.
Thanks in advance!
Unfortunately X10 does not support bluetooth headsets.
I've tried 3-4 devices, all have weird noise and problems during calls..
I have spoken to Swisscom about it, they blame sony support and firmware, they offered me refund.
So far the only recommendation on this - give up on X10 with bluetooth, or get another phone.
I have a set of these, works great with my x10mini

I use Plantronics Explorer 210 with my x10 mini, no problems so far.
I use JB-TH710 and they work great with my x10 mini
Samsung WEP 200 working just fine here since Android 1.6.
o.k.. after having the MW600 for a few weeks now.. I have to say I love it!!
The battery seems to last ages!! I use it almost every day for at least a couple of hours for listening to Music when I am out and about, I also use it to stream Music from my Ubuntu laptop to my stereo (for hours at a time) and also skype calls from Ubuntu and I am amazed at how long the battery lasts. (at least 10 hours of Music.. perhaps more.. seems like I hardly ever have to charge it!!)
Call quality is great too..
pity about the song id and caller id not showing up with the X10mini but I don't really miss it too much. (and thats a fault of the phone not the headset)
I have also tried it with decent full Hifi headphones and it sounds really sweet.
My only real gripe is the volume control is a bit stupid (I tend to have my mini in my Jacket pocket and control the volume from there instead (its winter now so my hands are always in my jacket pocket anyway..) and with gloves on the phone control is the only way to go.
anyway Highly recomended if your in the market for a good stereo BT headset
Ive got plantonics 520 works great for me
Sent from my E10i using XDA App
I use Jabra BT3030 and as far as I can notice everything works just fine ...
I have not used a Mono BT headset with mine X10 Mini
But three BT Stereo headset.
Excel PSHC122 (Actually a noname that been branded by a chain)
Samsung SBH650 (Most probably designed with Samsung phones in mind)
I-tech S35 (Low cost)
All three works with the X10 Mini (and hence also with the Pro)
Just having problem with the Samsung one which Pause/play-button won't work with the XY-(video)player from Android Market.
All three does work flawless for phonecalls
I guess just look for BT mono/stereo headset that suits you and be sure it will work with your X10 Mini Pro

Hello, Is the song/caller id bug fixed in the latest version?
What do you mean with volume control is stupid? I cycle a lot and, I find it important that the volume control and next song is easy to reach..

Nope, SE can't seem to get their TrackID and Caller ID working in Android (Even with the latest firmware.. still nice to know when I get a real phone.. HTC, Samsung or Motorola I will get those features )
and what I mean about the volume control is that its a touch control.. not a physical button or knob.. so can't be operated through gloves but its o.k once you are used to it.
I do find if the controller is buried under a jacket the forward and back buttons can be pushed by accident (Its only really annoying if your listening to an audiobook and it accidently flicks you forward a chapter) , its just a matter of clipping it somewhere where it can't get bumped/crushed, I clip it onto the strap of my bag when I am cycling or walking
Still really happy with the battery life and the audio quality, and the fact I can use my big ass headphones to keep my ears warm in winter

Ok, I'm using the mw600 now. I'm pretty content with it. It's easy to use, no more hassle with the cords. I clip it to my t-shirt or shirt. Still no track/caller display. A pity, but honest, I would not look to it anyway.
One small, but difficult thing.. Sometimes, when on a long trip, I would like to make voice recordings. Would it be possible, say, with an android application that notices when I press the call button on the mw600, and then starts recording. Possible saving date/hour/location too?
I tried searching for "android recording bleutooth", and while some apps support the recording using a bleutooth headset, one still has to use the gsm to start and stop recording. It would be important not to have to take gsm, it should be safely in the backpack.
Cool idea..
Not sure how you would go about disabling the voice dial (or hijacking it) I am sure a good DEV would be able to figure something out.. (it would work for normal wired headsets too.. if they could figure out a way to do it.. so would be quite a popular app)
Kiwi
which bluetooth headset can work with all sounds? GPS, Music, calls?
Xperia X10 doesnt support Bluetooth headset?

MW 600
I also use the SE MW600. I can confirm that it's a really nice piece of electronics. I'm using it with Winamp for Android, too. This third-party-app reacts to the MW-600's buttons, but only if you enable that in Winamp's settings.
Last week, I had to buy a new MW-600. I had to realize that it does not like too much water
There is another thing I like with this phone: You can exchange the earphones. I specially got a pair with clamps over the ears, so that they won't fall off when jogging.
---------- Post added at 03:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------
I can confirm, that the MW-600 shows the phone number of the caller (but not his name).
I can also confirm, that Mini Pro does not have a suitable implementation of the AVRCP bluetooth profile. TrackID needs version 1.3 and our Mini Pro has 1.0 (as far as I know).
Since someone shortly submitted a fix for this in the cyanogen team, I'm hoping that the custom ROMs based on Cyanogen will shortly bring me TrackID.
does anyone know any that support caller ID?
Hi,
Does anyone know if any of the 3.5mm wired headsets with at least an answer button would work with Optimus 7? Winter is coming and it would suck to have to take out the phone and take off gloves just to answer a call.
I've just tried the one from Samsung Galaxy S and the phone didn't respond to the answer button on it.
Thanks,
Alan.
Update: I feel really stupid but I didn't notice neatly designed answer button. It's there. Problem solved.

Hmmm... My Optimus 7 came with a wired headset that works really well (with an answer button that doubles as a play/pause button). But I am in Canada, so it might just be a Canadian thing. Where are you at?

Btw, double-clicking it works as next in Zune. Great.

Sony MW600 with W3 Westone's
I picked up a Sony MW600 Bluetooth headset dongle. It's about the size of a double A battery and has an LED screen which tells you the number calling, allows you to connect 3 bluetooth device simultaneously, has volume control, and has a play, pause, next, and back button for use with media... it sounds better with my Westone W3's plugged into it then plugged into the phone! It seems to only be available in eBay - I can't find it in stores in NA at all... do a search on it... fantastic product - worth every dime I paid (like $50 bucks)

I can only agree with you, multipoint works just great (I´m Jusing 4 devices...) oh and btw the soundquality is great (could be better, indeed but at this size..)
But I'm wondering why the MW600 don't show the actual music title (It does on Win7 MacOsX and Android)

I won one and still haven't used it. =s
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I have the MW600 also. Hopefully the next update of the WP7 OS will enable the display of the names in agenda in calls also the track names when playing music.
Is it fully compatible with Optimus 7?
My original headset broke down and i'm looking for something new.
Actually I have a problem in defining what is compatible with the optimus 7 (or WP7) and what is not.
I had a pair of Apple in ear (3 buttons + mic) and the mic doesn't work, while the central button does. Any other solution i thought about has 3 buttons and i'm not sure it will work. I don't like risk, too, and I don't want to pay 80€ for something i'm not sure it work.
So this Sony MW600 appeared to me as a nice solution and relatively cheap. I'm just willing to know if it works properly.
Thankyou in advance.
I just found a new Mango feature with the original (and possibly other) headset:
I don't really know if this is a new Mango feature but as far as I can recall it did not work before.
You can use the button on the mic to control music playback. This is how it worked before Mango:
1 tap: play/pause
2 taps: next track
3 taps: restart track
After the mango update, three taps go back to the previous track if you do it right after the track started playing.
If you already are in the middle of a track, three taps will restart the track.
Really a useful feature in my opinion.
Can anyone post the model number of the original/oem headset?
I bought my phone used, and would like to purchase one.
Lg oem headset is: sgey0007610

Thanks!
FYI, I recently bought another OEM LG headset on eBay which allows me to use the same advanced multiple tap music control functionality and also lets me use my own headphones with the mic/remote.

You are welcome. I will probably buy one like yours soon. These in ear headphones just don't want to stay in my ear!!!
My Atrix worked flawlessly for the last 6 months on Jokersax's ICS rom and CM9. Last month my headphones stopped working, and a work or so ago speakerphone stopped working. 2 days ago the ear speaker went out. The mic is still working fine, I just get no audio whatsoever.
Any ideas?
It's at a repair shop at the moment, but the guy called and said he's not seeing any issues with the speaker itself.
If it is software, what might fix this? I even tried flashing a new rom with no fix.
My first question is does the headphone out work? I would guess that if the headphone jack audio is fine then you might need to replace or repair the jack on the phone. There is a switch built into it that cuts sound to the speakers when headphones are plugged in. It is unlikely for that to stick, but not impossible. Fortunately. That repair is very easy to do. I have pics of it somewhere. I'll put them online if you need them.
If it isn't that and you can't find audio at the headphone contact points on the board you probably are going to need a new board.

Headphone was the first thing to stop working.
My ear speaker also stopped working. I tried flashing different roms but apparently the problem won't solve. My first guess is this is a hardware issue. Try do the same as in order to make sure.
This is exactly what happened to me. All of my audio outputs were shot. But if I whacked my phone against my hand, sometimes the headphones would work, so I'm betting on hardware. I have tried multiple roms but none seem to work. You can try flashing a GB rom, like Neutrino, with a full wipe, just to make sure its not software. GB roms have all of the official drivers needed for this phone, so they would be the roms that most likely fix it, if it is software.
PS: JdgM3NT4L if you could please put those pics of the headphone switch on here or direct me to them, I'd appreciate it. I'd like to see if that makes a difference on my Atrix. Thank You

You know what, I am so sorry that I let this slip. Here are the photos and an observation.
First pic shows the headphone jack from inside of the phone.
I simply removed the battery cover, removed 8 screws and gently pried the back off.

This photo shows me beginning to remove one of the contacts.
This one shows one of the contacts removed.
And this one shows the camera board where the headphone jack makes contact.
And if you want to simply replace the whole jack it comes out easily, those are available on ebay.
If I was not able to repair your problem by taking those pins out and checking them for breaks, and possibly re-bending them back into shape.
I think that I would consider either a new jack. Or a new camera board, since that is the first point of contact. Also that is where I would check for audio. It would be a little difficult getting the battery in place and manipulating the phone to play while it is apart, but doable with enough resolve.
Please accept my apologies for not responding sooner. I really meant to get to this way before now...
