thank you for your interest and answer...
I have one too, but if found the Headphone you get with the RC-E100 less copfertable than the original ones you get in the Topaz's box.
I tried several headphones and got to the conclusion that the best ones are Sennheiser MXL51 (they have a nice feature - you can plug-out an additional cord so you don't have a really long cord dangling from them).
I have the RC E100 too and confirm it does work fine with the Topaz. I can't understand why they make the cables so long though. It takes me 30 minutes to untangle it whenever I use it

It's long because the remote also contains a microphone for the handfree and the cord has to be long enough for it to reach your face.

Does it work well with the TouchFlo music player, or only with Windows Media Player?

It works well with TouchFlo and Windows Media Player.
One word of warning though - if you use TouchFlo Detacher, it will only work on Windows Media Player (NOT TouchFlo).....

Great, so if I just pair the headset, it should work right out of the box?
yep. I know that all the custom roms should have it working.
If it doesn't quite work, try doing it using bt quicklink. For some reason that ALWAYS 100% works for me.
Well I have a Creative SL300 and it works wonderfully. I watch videos, play music, you name it BT on the wing pairs it nicely.
Great, thanks for your help guys. Im ganna go ahead and get the headset and be on my way to wireless heaven haha.
I'm looking for a Bluetooth remote to use in my car, to control my G1 when it's hooked up as a music player. This is both a safety and convenience concern.
The starting point is finding a remote control that transmits Bluetooth directly to the G1 (i.e., not infrared or wired). It needs, at a minimum, a forward and a stop button. Reverse, pause, and other functions are nice, but not mandatory.
The other half of the solution is software to control the media program in Android, which may or may not already exist; if not, I'll commission someone to write it. Maybe I can even offer a turnkey system for sale if there's enough interest.
I know someone's will say "search the forums", and I did. What I found seemed to be focus on wired remotes for another HTC phone, or remote controlling your PC with your phone. But if I missed a relevant post, please do correct me.
Ideas are greatly appreciated.

there is a remote for gaming used for the n95 i saw on a website it worked for android on a basic level. maybe that might help. in the development of this
Found this on another thread http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87Wc0KqnW2M that some people are using. Jabra BT3030
Aux cable from car stereo plugged into remote. Remote paired with phone. Not *completely wireless* but atleast you don't have to look at your phone.
Does that get you anywhere?

Hmm, I posted a reply to this, but it isn't showing up. Maybe forgot to submit.
Anyway, thanks for pointing this out. I had seen this a long time ago and forgot all about it. That's exactly the kind of thing I want. Here's the instruction manual, for anyone else who might be interested. It's about US$55.
The only problem I see here is that it'll register as a headset and thereby disable the sound coming out of the extUSB connector in the car.

It's the Zeemote JS1, and this blog has a video showing it interacting with a G1. This may ultimately be what I'd have to go with... it seems to be designed solely as a controller, without A2DP getting in the way. But looks like it needs some kind of interfacing software, at least on the Nokia. At US$20, I should just get one and play around with it. Cheaper than buying another car stereo with BT built in.
Dual Infrared + Bluetooth Remotes
FWIW, I ran across two rare, interesting items.
One is the RicaVision Vave 100 Universal Remote. Unfortunately, it's $349... but in theory, it would control both your car stereo (via infrared, which the majority of remotes use) and the G1 (via Bluetooth). It's able to "learn" commands from 24 infrared devices, and has a 2.4" 240x320 color LCD screen. No PC or internet connection is needed for configuration.
The screenshots show artist/track info being received from Windows, so it's Media PC-oriented, but still a possibility -- assuming you could program it accordingly. If so, just carry it back and forth between home and car: use it inside for your TV and PC, outside for the car stereo and G1.
The other device is the Ricavision SideShow Remote for the same price, also having IR + BT transmitters. This is purpose-built for Windows SideShow, and has fewer buttons -- volume, play/pause, prev/next, etc. It's smaller than the Vave, but still has a 2.5" QVGA screen. This is perfect for my car setup, but there doesn't seem to be a learning mode or any way to program, so the chances of it working are about zero. Boo!

If that worked in my case it'd be perfect, and it's the smallest form factor yet. The only problem I foresee with this and the Jabra is that they'll want to subvert my wired headphone output over to A2DP. But for $13 I'll probably take a chance.

Well, I finally bought a Jabra from there. I'll play with it and report back on whether it'll work like I wanted above.
Meanwhile, I didn't realize until looking more closely that most of them were fake. I've been burned by counterfeits before, and sure enough, there are a ton of them on fleaBay. I made this graphic to demonstrate:
Aside from the logos, they look identical. Price is an obvious warning, but not always. Location is another: I'm wary of shipping from Hong Kong. OTOH, just because it says Jabra doesn't mean it's real... the Motorola H700 is another example where it's nearly impossible to tell them apart online.
Unfortunately, even with VeRO and the rules against keyword spamming, this junk can be found all over eBay.

In theory, if it's able to connect to one phone's A2DP, it should connect to any. But I wonder if it has something to do with the ROM you're running?
I've noticed the G1 needs some finesse when connecting and pairing BT. Also, there are different steps you can take that all arrive at the same result (ergo, lots of trial and error).
Anyway. Now that I have the Jabra, my next problem is keeping A2DP, HSP and AVRCP separate... more on that soon.

Here is whats interesting; I have tried the BT3030 with several ROMS and I get the same results (I even tried it on stock and then rooted). When paired placing and receiving calls work fine. The problem arises when you try to listen to music, the sound skips constantly and I haven't figured a way to fix this permanently. Do you experience this problem (skipping sound)?

It's strange that it works with one phone and not another. But if it really is a counterfeit, all bets are off -- you may never figure it out.

I got 3 knockoff bt3030s back in october (from dinodirect... shady) at $15/ea it was an ok price...
I too have the skipping problems on my Droid, but I just discovered how to fix them. Go into bluetooth settings, long-press the jabra bt3030 device, select options, and deselect phone audio and reconnect the device. Now, no more skips.
I don't know if it's the bt3030's fault, I think it might be an android bug where audio gets routed over phone audio instead of a2dp. This is evidenced by the skipping audio--headset audio only has something like 8khz of bandwidth.
It kind of sucks that phone audio has to be disabled, but in all seriousness, I use the bt3030 for a2dp far more than phone calls, if I need to make a phone call over the bt3030, I'll reconnect the phone audio and disconnect it when I'm done.
Don't know if anyone still cares, but for the record, and for searchers, there are these options:

Both of these are very expensive though as they are part of large packages for cars. YMMV.
Does anyone use a remote with their Hero. The one bundled doesn't seem to control music playback, and I'd like to use my own headphones.
The official one from HTC looks good. But are there other options?

Just for the record, RC E100 doesn't work properly with Hero. The phone detects it as a headset with microphone, but the sound is mono and none of the buttons work.
According to the HTC tech support, they're not aware about any RC E100 driver release for Hero in the nearest future.
Thanks for the warning.
Are there any remotes that do work with the Hero?
Sorry, no. I'm happy with my Sony HDH DS-970 Bluetooth headset, and I'm not really looking into any wired replacements.
E100 Remote - works with Tmobile G2
Hey all,
I had the old HTC Diamond until I moved to the world of Android, I cant believe I have not had a crash yet, with my winmo device had to restart everyday nearly. Anyways, I digress, with the Diamond I purchased the HTC E100 remote.
I would like to say I am happily using it with the HTC Tmobile G2(Hero) phone without any issues, volume keys work great, can change music tracks without any problems and able to receive and end calls with the mic. Just though I will let you all know that it does work !
Weird. It definitely doesn't work properly for me.

Are you able to control other applications, such as last.fm, using the remote?
Update: It seems the previous remote I was testing was faulty. I just tested a brand new RC E100 and it worked perfectly fine with Hero out of the box, so now I'm thinking about getting one myself, if I could only find some good earphones that could match HDH DS-970's quality of sound.
I haven't tested it with anything else but the default Music Player though.
I have just purchased a RC E100 Remote Control unit for my HTC Hero but am getting the same problems as previously mentioned on here.
While the answer/hang-up and volume control buttons on the remote work fine, the media control buttons (play/pause and skip-forward/skip-backward) buttons do absolutely nothing at all. While there is a CD included containing drivers for Windows Mobile phones, there are no drivers for Android so I'm not sure if this means that the remote is supposed to work natively with Android
The RC E100 is advertised on the HTC website as being a compatible accessory for the HTC Hero so I assume it must be possible to get it to work properly with this phone in some way.
I emailed HTC support a couple of days to try and get an answer on this (no reply yet) but would be interested to know how other people have managed to get the RC E100 working with the HTC Hero because from this thread it appears that this remote does work with these phones.
I'm running on the latest version of the ROM (v2.73.405.5) so I'm not sure if that makes any difference (i.e. remote control of the audio functions have maybe been "broken" in this ROM)??
I use the HTC E100 remote with my Hero (modaco 2.8 rom). Every button is functional and sound is great

Can you possibly tell me what the exact part number of the remote is (shown next to "P/N:" on the side of the box). And is "HTC Hero" listed as a phone model on the side of your box? The part number on the side of my box is "66H00001-13M".
Even though the RC E100 is listed by HTC as a compatible Hero accessory, on the side of the box I received the Hero isn't listed as one of the phone models that the remote will work with. I'm beginning to wonder if there is actually more than one version of these remotes whereby maybe only later versions will work with the HTC Hero

I have same part no: 66H00001-13M, Hero not listed as compatible. I use android stock music app, and meridian is fully functional with RCE100 too.
Works just fine for me.
Have the White GSM Hero and the HTC EC E100 (White) works perfect. All buttons and stereo work excellent.
It however does not work with an adapter like the 2-in-1 and 3-in-1 charger, headphone, sync. I was hoping to hook this remote up in my car while charging it and it does not seem to be possible. Remote works by itself just fine though.
Hmmmmm. I'm trying to use mine with the standard music app as well. Are there any settings on the phone that might need to be enabled (or ones that I might have inadvertantly disabled)?
If not then maybe I do actually have a duff remote. I guess all I can do in thay case is to try and get it replaced and see if a new one is any better.
Thanks for the help

Unfortunately not...I really wish it was that simple. The mute button on the side also isn't doing anything either
It's a shame I don't know anyone else with an HTC phone to try it on because I'm now paranoid that the problem is actually with the phone and not the remote. I guess I'll only know for sure by sending the remote back and getting a replacement sent to me.
I've just got this remote to use on my Hero / G2 and the remote is detected as a headset, the volume, back/forward and pickup/end call buttons are working fine, however the play/pause and mute buttons do nothing at all.
I'm running the latest official T-Mobile ROM (build 2.73.110.26).
Anyone got any ideas / suggestions as without play/pause working it's pretty useless!
Mark

actually, i got this one as well, and it works perfectly (play music, answer calls etc.)
it worked perfectly when i used the stock 2.73 rom, and it still works perfectly with modaco's 3.0 rom
what's also nice is that you can actually use 2 headphones at the same time by plugging in the wired remote control in the extusb, and the standard HTC earphones in the 3.5mm jack (although only the buttons on the standard HTC 3.5mm earphones will work when doing this)

I've currently got an open "ticket" with HTC about this issue but they're not being very helpful or quick with their responses to be honest. I submitted the original details of the problem to them 6 weeks ago but they still haven't given me any real help or possible resolutions. After 4 weeks of communication back and forth they eventually told me to just look on the list of compatible products for the HTC Hero I politely informed them that I had already done that before I ordered the remote. Apparently my problem is being urgently investigated but the last reply I had from them was over 2 weeks ago so it clearly isn't that urgent to them. It seems to me that they actually have no idea why.
The supplier of the remote didn't want to give me a replacement and just told me to get in contact with HTC for a resolution. This is dragging on far too long now so it looks like I'm going to have to go back to the supplier and demand they give me a refund.
This remote seems very hit and miss with the HTC Hero and I can't understand why some people can get all buttons on them to work perfectly fine while others have issues with some of the buttons not working even when those different people are running the same ROM

I can confirm that the splitter which can teh man linked, the YC A300, does work on my G1 running BiffMod 2.0
This makes me suspect that the relevant driver is either in Cyanogen Mod 6, or the Pershoot kernel which BiffMod uses. I haven't tried to break it by flashing another kernel. I do hope this at least gives you a starting point.

i have an adapter but not exaclty this one..
if its not working you can try an app called "sound route switcher" or sth similiar.
it forces your phone audio output through your desired channel. so i got mine to work on donut (before it was patched on a cm)
but my adapter uses more battery than being connected to my bluetooth headphones >.<

Thanks, I found this post useful.
A quick search on eBay revealed many of these for five bucks.
I was looking for an adapter that would let me charge and use the headphone port at the same time.
I don't know why they couldn't just put the d**n headphone port on the phone itself. I guess it would have cost them an additional 35 cents per unit. I hate the "break this port and you're screwed" paradigm.
