Any recommendations or ones to avoid?
I think I'll need one for when I'm driving.
OR do I actually need one? Do the supplied headphones do a good enough job?
Thanks

I have a Jabra 620BT, it works perfectly with the TyTN, and it has also a small display that shows the number of the caller, so you can keep it in the cas!

and this is the best
http://www.jabra.com/JabraCMS/EM/EN/MainMenu/Products/WirelessHeadsets/JabraBT800/JabraBT800
if you like earbuds, the hbh-ds970's work perfectly with A2DP.
Switches effortlessy between phone calls and conduits pocketplayer, very good quality sound.
Minor drawback -- have noticed infrequent 1-second hangs, but seems to be related to mailbox access intervals.

Problem using handsfree
Hello! I am using a Nokia handsfree (from my old phone!) connected to a TyTN. The problem is that it's not handy at all. When using the Nokia 6310i phone I could do the following:
- press the headset button and wait for a BEEP
- say a name and hear the headset repeating that name
- the phone started to call that person
When using the TyTN things changed. If I'm trying to follow the same three steps, I get the following:
- press the headset button (nothing happens and only after a few tries I hear a BEEP on the TyTN, not in the headset)
- I don't know when to say a name if the TyTN is far away from me because I can't hear the BEEP
- when I say that name it looks like the TyTN is not "listening" for what I'm saying in the headset but it uses it's own microphone instead
- when the conversation starts everything works ok
Imagine that all this is quite annoying when driving. Anyone ever had similar problems?
Re: Handsfree problem
Same here Innov. For voice dialing the Sony Ericsson HBH-30 worked as you describe with my Sony Ericsson T39m, except there were 3 beeps before I had to say the name. With the TyTN, after pairing apparently succesfully, the HBH-30 never stops beeping!
So only certain bluetooth headsets are compatible with the TyTN?
:?
I use the Nextlink Bluespoon AX2 - only 10g, sits inside your ear and great quality. Boasts up to 1500 hours standbye too! Pics/review on my website... http://rakh1.homeip.net Cost is just over £25 from mobilefun - not bad considering the original AX was nearly £100!!!
I use the Motorola H700 and have also used the Motorola HS850 both work really well and initiate MS Voice Command reliably for driving.
Software or headset?
Sorry, but I really don't think that the solution to this problem is in the headset that you are using. I believe that what I need is a software for my TyTN with Windows Mobile 5. The fact that the TyTN only starts to use the hands-free's microphone and speaker AFTER the conversation has started (and not before, in order to be able to use the voice dialing) proves that what I need is some piece of software for my PDA.
Another example. If I use my hands-free with another mobile phone it works ok, but the sounds that I hear when it asks me for a name to call are different. Because they come from the mobile phone to the hands-free.
Any ideas of such a software?
Anyone uses it for HD...?
Is it suitable????
I doubt you would get the mic working
there is no std how one do 3.5mm minijacks in relation
to having more then 3 rings
ground
left
right
how and where one add the mic or more is up to the maker of the headset and or phone
Iphone earphones should work but they're rubish so I wouldn't bother if I were you. Just get some Sennheiser MM50s if you want earphones with a mic.

Yes it works. I had a cheapo 3rd party one I got off ebay for my iPhone. Then I sold off my iPhone ( good riddance ), and still had the cheapo earphones lying around. So when I got my Touch HD, I compared the bundled earphones with the iPhone earphones, and noticed the rings were identically spaced. So i plugged it into my HD, and voila ! it works !
So while answering this post, I decided to try if the button on the earphone's mic works. Happily, it works. Single press answers a call, another press while a call is in progress puts it on hold, and a double click ends the call.
The cheapo iPhone earphone's quality sucks, but its perfectly adequate for taking phone calls.
Sometimes I use them for music if im on the go, since they have no mic, u have to talk into the mic of the phone, it's ok if u have to...
BUT I wouldn't recommend apple in-ear-headphones they suck, cuz they don't stay in place
bought one from creative for iphone.
fits weeell, just as soneric/walkman i get used to before. sound normal, mic, button functional.
bought two pieces just in case.
I tried to use BB Bold's headset and it worked great
It worked for making and receiving calls, and listening music
honestly i use cx300
changing to px100/200 i think they are better.
i used the Meizu m6 headphons too, they were good
I've got the apple in-ear earphones and the mic/middle button don't work. Any ideas?
i have tried apple earphone many times coz i got spare one and it works for accepting call, hangup call and everything as similary as htc original ones.
and i have orderd one of sennheisers mp50(something like this there is one for iphone typically designed for iphone by sennhieser) earphone let me see how it works it should be on the way.....
Hi guys,
I recently lost my Shure SE420's and have upgraded to a set of Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Vi IEM's. I bought the 'Vi' version as it has a built in mic for handsfree and a button to answer/hang up. The box said for iphone and blackberry compatible but I assumed the x10 would have no worries as its the same 3.5mm jack.
Turns out I cannot use them as the button appears to be inverted for the x10 / Android, ie its permanently in 'hang up' position. Tring to make a call immedialty displays 'call ended', but if I hold the button down it allows me to call out and releasing it hangs up.
Listening to music is terrible, it sounds robotic and keeps chopping the sound, but when the button is pressed it works fine.
Tested the headphones on my old HTC Touch HD (wm6.5) and a friends iphone and they work perfectly so appears to be an android / x10 issue. The only work around to listen to music is using a 3.5mm extender which doesnt use the mic (one less connection on the jack)
Is there something ive missed in the settings or does anyone know a workaround? Its driving me nuts!
Thanks
its because the wires dont go to the same conections in the x10 compared to the iphone, if you know what i mean. there is no setting because they are hard wired. if you are good with that sort of thing you could make an adapter, afaik that would work but its a lot of hassle.
Does anybody have a headphone with build in mic that actually works on the X10?
yea my stock sony headset that came with the x10 have built in mic and they work fine....

Really? What model headphones are those? The ones I got with my X10 came with an extension remote/microphone that you can use with any headphones, but the extension makes the cables too long so I'm looking for heaphones with the microphone build in.
I tested my Ultimate Ears Triple Fi 10 Vi on an EVO before I bought mine and they worked great. They also worked until around the time of the latest OTA update. Now they don't control music or answer phone calls. I highly doubt the headphones broke but I ordered a replacement cable just in case so hopefully that's it but I suspect they broke something with the update.
Hi! I was wondering of an app that can live monitor my voice on my omnia, in other words I want to hear my voice on the headset so I can connect my phone with an amplified loudspeaker and hear my voice live (without delays) in the loudspeaker. Is that possible? That wold be cool, turn your phone into a speaker system. Please if you can do a reserach and give me an answer, thank you!
mic in headphone jack?
So, does the X10 have the 4 connector-type of headphone jack? Mono headphone jacks have only two conductor areas separated by an insulator; stereo headphone jacks have a third zone; and there are some devices that use a fourth zone adding a presumably mono mic to the mix.
I've been thinking Bluetooth is the only way to add a mic to the X10.
I have one of these mic/headphone combos for my ipod (for skype) and it does the same thing with my X10. I found that if I plugged it in the X10, then pulled it out by about 2-3mm, it worked fine for audio and microphone, but the button would be inactive. Best workaround I can think of.
the original headphone with mic is the best, don`t need to change it
wow so now my skullcandy's w/mic decide to work on pandora radio..
I found this adapter, which might be a fix for the hard-wiring. It's called "FiiO LU1 smart adaptor cable converter".
I am also looking for a wired headset (not in-ears). I know the one from Koss iPorta Pro isn't working.
Today, I found this other one, pretty cool, which claims to be working for most sonyericsson phones: Cresyn C550S black.
Not sure if the adapter is needed though. Maybe it would fix the problem with the
Let me know if you are using any nice wired headphone with mic that is working with x10!
I'm using obsidian v2 froyo build. Music and navigation work fine thru the headphone Jack when attached to my car stereo. However when a call comes in or if I'm trying to make a call I get nothing. I've searched thru various forums and others are having the same issue but could not find a solution. Any help would be appreciated
its a "feature" of all the froyo roms. froyo seems to want to ignore headphones without mic as it has a self-esteem problem and does not trust the quality of its mic at a distance.
it seems to be a kernel issue and won't be able to be addressed until they devs have source. only alternative is to have a cable with an in-line mic. that works for most of the roms. (i would say all, except i just flashed latest macnut and its not working )
EDIT: also, don't post this in dev forum. i answered nicely, but this is not the appropriate venue.
So why does it work for some and not for others
wait, so audio out still works fine but NOT the in-line mic?
sorry for the noob question, but i was going to flash obsidian later this evening, and i really need the 3.5 audio out. don't really care about using in-line mic headphones at all
thx
it doesn't. those for whom it works are those using headphones with a mic, those for whom it doesn't are using headphones or cable without mic.
well, crap

It is a kernel issue. We are looking into it.
The funny thing is when I first flashed obsidian v2 I attempted to try out the 3.5mm out thru my car speakers. I was listening to Pandora in my car, I received a call and I heard the caller thru my car speakers. But it has not worked since then. And all I'm using is an audio out cable attached to my Alpine head unit
This does not work on any Froyo Roms, because of the required external mic, but does anyone know of a 3.5mm adapter that has a jack for headphones as well as a inline mic? Would this work ?
EDIT:
Looking at the audio routing from this page: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/AudioManager.html
it looks like some of it is deprecated, does this mean that it will never work?
int ROUTE_EARPIECE This constant is deprecated. Do not set audio routing directly, use setSpeakerphoneOn(), setBluetoothScoOn() methods instead.
int ROUTE_HEADSET This constant is deprecated. Do not set audio routing directly, use setSpeakerphoneOn(), setBluetoothScoOn() methods instead.
int ROUTE_SPEAKER This constant is deprecated. Do not set audio routing directly, use setSpeakerphoneOn(), setBluetoothScoOn() methods instead.

I see. Well I hope there's a solution soon, in the meantime keep up the great work u guys are doing for us.
I'm having a hard time understanding what everyone is saying is broken here...
I use a standard line out cable from my headphone jack into the analog aux input on my car stereo. I purchased a cheap extension cable that has the 3.5mm plug on one end and a mic/button at the other end that I plug the regular cable into. When I get a call, I pick up the mic on the cable and speak into it and I can hear the caller through my stereo and they can hear me just fine. This has always worked for 2.1 ROMS and so far has worked for three 2.2 ROMS I've tried.
Everyone is saying that the mic function is not working, but it's working fine for me.

It is working for you because of your extra external mic, it is confirmed a few post back that when using an external mic, it work fine but when using just a pair ear phones + internal mic (the one at the bottom of your phone), it fails to work. It used to work on 2.1 roms.
same thing here, went from fusion 1.1 to V4 Onyx...big pain in the ass out on the road today. Never wold have thought to check for that. I constantly have music going, ussually it will pause my mp3, and beep and show up the phone call, but now music plays, until I anwser and no go from the headphone jack.. I have mine hooked to an fm transmitter so i can take calls over car speakers.

Which cable are you using that has a built in mic? Should I look in my G1 / Mytouch boxes for an old one?

Ah. That makes more sense then - I thought people were using the mic built into the headset, not the actual phone.
d33dvb, the cable I use is similar to this one:
http://www.accessorygeeks.com/apple-iphone-maletofe-headset.html
It's an iPhone accessory, but works fine with the Vibrant. It's been a few months since I bought it, and don't remember where I got it, but I do know that I got two of them for less than 8 bucks.

Thanks man, I think I will hit the best buy and that will be my temp solution to running 2.2
This issue is the biggest reason I'm not running a 2.2 rom.
What's the quality of the mic like on that adapter cable? The mic built into the phone is really good, I was on a call one day and had only raised my voice a little, but the caller on the other end asked me to stop yelling. I was like "Umm... I'm not"

Anyone know of a good set of bluetooth stereo earbuds? I don't want headphones and I'd like something that can be used for phone calls as well.
I'm not exactly hard of hearing, but I do hear much better with earbuds in both ears than with just one.
Any suggestions?
I use the Jabra Clipper. It charges with the same cable that comes with the Note and it also allows you to use any type of miniplug headphone, as it's a powered BT receiver. It has a mic built in, too.

I use these both of these, mainly at the gym, I like them a lot...
http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/backbeat-903-plus - I like these the best
http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/st...10551&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666198163
I bought these, Samsung HS3000, a while back for my Captivate and in anticipation of the Note.
I like them because I can pop in my Sony studio cans or IEMs. Almost went with the Jabra Clipper mentioned above. With either of set you can jack them into a stereo Auxiliary and use your phone as a wireless remote.
I guess I'm most interested in Voice Quality. I want two earbuds in my ear. I want to easily hear someone when I am talking to them. I don't want the person on the other end of the call to know that I'm using bluetooth.
What are your voice call experiences with these?
