Hi there folks!
Hope someone can tell me ANYTHING to keep me from losing it completely...
I upgraded to an X10 mini pro from my Nokia 5530 a few weeks ago, and aside from a minor issue where the hardware keyboard appeared to be dying (It 'lost' the symbol button, acting like I had disabled the Default Input - regardless of how the default input checkbox was set. Turns out it was a hair or something inside the keyboard itself, who knew?!)
Anyway. The BIG feature the Nokia had that I REALLY liked was it's ability to play music on a bluetooth headset.
Now, the headset I use is one glommed from a Playstation 3 kit - It's high bandwidth, if a little bulky compared to the true phone ones, but handles audio as well as a wired headset, up to around 15 feet after which is starts to fade a bit.
I had it working well on the Nokia, it behaves relativly well on the PC, despite the chassis blocking the dongle back there, but I cannot, CANNOT for the life of me, make it work on the X10 Mini Pro.
It works with VOICE just dandy, with all it's superb range and definition.
But music stubbornly refuses to play through it.
Is this an X10 thing? Is it an Android thing?
I searched a fair bit before posting this, but while people have discussed several bluetooth issues, none of them really seem to address exactly this problem.
Am i missing some awesome (But overlooked by me) app? Am I weird for not wanting to have wires wrapped around me while cycling?
Please help a hopeless n00b!
Dude........
I have the X10 mini and my DELL BH200 headset works great with it.
No problems...
Check if you have kept the headset in discovery mode or not...

It allows you to listen to music through it then? Because thats what I need. Aside from that, mine already works perfectly...
The headset itself syncsby holding the power button for a few seconds, and drops out of sync mode once its linked to the host.
Like I said, the headset works perfectly aside from not playing music. Een while connected, it ONLY plays music from the phone speaker.
Yes you can play music thru bluetooth with any android device. Android is fully A2DP and AVRC compatible.
It must be your headset.
I use three different bluetooth headsets with absolutely no problems. Music, movies you name it. No lag (as I had in my ipod)

Okay, thanks for the replies! I will start trying out other headsets come payday! Being tightfisted I wanted to avoid the necessity but if you guys are having not trouble then it looks like I must bite the bullet.

Hi guys, can you check this out?
When I run skype on my 2.3.5 I3 firmware, it completely mutes all sounds other then skype, like ringtone, alarms, notifications etc. This is also valid, when you exit Skype!
In practice it means, that when I ran skype yesterday evening and turned it off before going to sleep, my alarm did not wake me up to work... I mean it did, but I could hardly hear it...
I hear no sms messages notifications, no phone call tones - nothing.
What I have to do is reboot the phone or kill all background processes and turn the volume down and up - then it resets itself to the proper previous values.
Thanks.
Hmm. I've noticed something similar where after using either music player or scanner radio it looses all notifications. I had also thought it was something to do with the headphones cause they make my phone unresponsive sometimes and I need to unplugged and replug to get sounds. Do the notifications come through the headphones after the Skype thing? Do you use headphones with Skype?
I had concluded myself its something to do with the headphones being faulty until I tried a few different pairs with the same result so its back to the drawing board huh. I'm about to root and flash something new to see if the problem follows too. Will help narrow it down a fair bit or atleast send me in the correct direction.

No, it has nothing to do with headphones.
Headphones don't work with skype or any other multimedia app anyway, I mean the speakers do, however microphone does not work on the headphones (bluetooth ones as well as the ones on cable).
You just run skype and then you notice, that all sound is muted, that is it
Weird. I'm a little unimpressed with my 9100. Its buggy as hell, crap battery and is the redhead step child of the S2 series... meh. I'm back on my galaxy tab and I gave away the 9100t . T is for Terrible trash IMO so i even made sure it didn't go to anyone I actually liked... Epic Fail Samsung. Worse than stock Galaxy tab.....

Anyone using the razr headset with the phone? everytime i workout with this headset i feel like banging my phone on the blardy wall..
For some strange reason it automatically dials my recent calls. I think its something to do with the microphone..when i pant or take deep breaths the voice command thingy comes on, and sometime suddenly just randomly call people...good god its annoying as hell!
anyone know how to disable it? the only reason i use this headset over my seinheriser is cause its LOUD. when your in the gym you need loud bass to keep the pump!
Have you tried restarting the phone? I've had Voice Commands go crazy on me and not let me use my headset to control my music. A simple restart fixed it.
Have you tried a different headset? Maybe you got some sweat in the mic and it screwed something up. I've had this happen also. Do the Sennheisers you mentioned have a mic with music control?
If you're rooted you can freeze Voice Command using Titanium Backup.
Ill try freezing it and see how it goes. No my Sennheisers do not have a mic, thats why it does not happen when i use them, but the sound produced is softer, which is why i dont use em.
Restarting does not help.
Ran in to the same problem with my brother's phone; the problem is voice commands hijacks the headset button. There is an easy way to disable that, for those who are not rooted or don't want to freeze the app: go to settings, Applications and change the double-tap home launch setting to None. Now headset works as it should and controls PowerAmp, rather than popping up voice commands every time.
I had the same issue with mine. Freezing it with Titanium worked perfectly.
If you have an issue with it stopping your music as if disconnected it, I haven't found a fix for that.
And i always find best sony earphones with isolation and with noise cancelling, you'll enhance max trebles in sound settings, get PowerAmp to enhance on basses and for sake of this gorgeous combination forget about microphone.
Original earphones are always not good enough. Always must buy separately.

Use "rom tool box" and freeze

U can go to settings and changing the double tap home button to something else. Ur probably hitting the home button twice during ur work out.

Has anyone been able to disable voice commands on stock? It's annoying trying to use pandora with headphones that have a button because the voice command prompt keeps popping up. One work around I've found is to use Headset Button Controller app.
You can also use media button router.... its free in the play store... allows you to map bluetooth device buttons to a specific app or apps... necessity with the ICS leaks because android hijacks the play button for voice commands if you use Pandora or a third party app to play music...

I'm hoping someone here has some *real* ideas or answers regarding this issue.
I have a handsfree Bluetooth kit in my car so that I can safely place calls while driving. This worked flawlessly with my previous Windows Mobile phones (Tilt/Tilt II). With the phone tucked in my pocket and the mobile OS “locked” I could press the voice activation button on the dashboard and easily call someone. Not so with my shiny new AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II. Now I have to dig the phone out and unlock the device before I can use my handsfree system… are we back in the smartphone dark ages?? I might as well take up texting and driving while I’m at it and forget the handsfree unit altogether.
Apparently Google in their infinite wisdom has decided already paired Bluetooth devices pose a security risk. As such, when Android is “locked” it disables any control from Bluetooth. I suppose if you work for the government or some place that you need Pentagon like security this makes sense. For the 95% of us that don’t need these draconian measures this is just plain stupid and potentially unsafe.
I've already rooted my phone. I've tried other ROMs like the latest builds of UnNamed, ICS'd Out, and CyanogenMod. None of these allow Bluetooth operation while the phone is locked (and in fact all of them introduced other issues). I've searched the forums but most similar posts go unanswered or contain nonconstructive replies (flames, unrealistic answers, etc).
I can't and won't disable ALL security. I won't give up making phone calls while driving - I'm on the road a decent amount and need to use that time productively. What are my other choices? Go buy an iPhone or a Windows Mobile unit which work "right"?? Seems like a crazy oversight by Google/Samsung/AT&T if those are my only options!
I would suggest using the official samsung Car dock, as the USB port on there has a special impedance that tells the phone to go into driving mode, which once you unlock the phone, it stays unlocked until you either lock it, or take it off the dock. It also charges your phone at the same time. However if you have a case, this will not work for you. You would need to solder up your own usb plug that has a certain impedance over some pins (theres a thread somewhere about that, its like a jig, but with different impedance) and just plug that in when you're driving, but you still have to unlock the phone at least once with it plugged in.

My biggest gripe with Android is that BT calling does not work as well as it did with WinMo's Voice Command (which works really well considering how poorly much of WinMo worked). Initiating calls via BT is my main gripe with Android. I wish Google would get it right already. That said, I have no problems answering calls via BT even when the phone is locked.
My phone is paired with the built-in BT in my car and I have no issue with making/taking calls while the phone is locked. Maybe its a compatibility issue with your particular hands-free device?
I also have no BT problem when locked, using the standard BT in my Toyota Avalon, 2011. Running rooted, UnNamed ROM, Entropy's DD 120811 kernel.
For those of you who think BT calling works just fine, I have to ask, have you ever used a WinMo phone with Voice Command? If not, then you don't know how well it's supposed to work. With VC, I could touch the call button on my BT headset or BT car stereo at ANY time, get a little chime and then say the name of the person I wanted to call and have it dial automatically. I never had to touch the phone to do this. When I try this on my Cappy or SGSII I get nothing. I have to initiate the call on the phone and using voice recognition on Android is spotty, at best, and requires more steps. At least answering a call is relatively easy. I have no love for MS, but they got this part right on their phones.

Sgs2 does this stock with no problems via samsung/vlingo voice command app. Seems hit or miss on some custom roms. As long as device has bt turned on and had been prior paired with a headset, just have to turn headset on then hit the button on the headset. Voice prompts over headset ensue

I'm headed into the AT&T store tomorrow to do some definitive tests but so far I'm skeptical people who say it's working for them truly have their phone locked. The Bluetooth unit in question is a Parrot CK3100 LCD - a bit dated (3 years old) but it works flawlessly with several WinMo phones, several non smartphones (mostly Nokia's), and we just tried a friend's iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4. In all cases phonebook and voice dialing not only worked excellently it worked when the phones were truly locked and the screen off.
On the other hand the 3 Android devices I've tried all have the same problem - they won't dial out either by phone book entry or voice recognition unless you unlock the device first. The 3 devices are: Samsung Galaxy S II (AT&T), Samsung Galaxy S (Verizon), and EVO 3D (T-Mobile).
Unfortunately I don't have any other Bluetooth headsets to try out, hence my planned trip to AT&T. I plan on walking out of their either with a Bluetooth device that works or an iPhone Thanks for the replies.
I hear you. I have a Motorola FINITI bluetooth headset and it will not voice dial with the screen locked on my AT&T Galaxy SII.

Are you using a pattern/pin lock? Or just the slide to unlock.
Just slide to unlock.
It works very well and very straightforward. I just press and hold the call button on my headset (while the phone is locked), and then after the tone say, "call John Doe on mobile" and it works.
Something for OP to consider in troubleshooting why he is unable get this work:
The BT voice dial works through the older pre-installed Vlingo (version 2.x). Even though I have the newer version (3) of Vlingo installed, the phone still launches the older preinstalled version of Vlingo for BT voice dial. So it seems the BT voice dial function is in some way hardcoded to that version of Vlingo.
Perhaps OP is using a custom ROM in which the older pre-installed Vlingo is removed(?). I know that is the case with some of the custom ROMs for the Int'l SGS2.
If I were to freeze or remove the older version of Vlingo, that might impact BT voice dial. Although I wouldn't expect it to affect the use of my phone through my car's build in BT.
Try it with a pattern lock or some kind, I believe that is what the OP has and its what "locks" the phone from using BT dialing, whether its voice based, or address book based from a headunit.
OK, if OP means that type of lock, then, no you cannot make a call when locked.
Although, it is not clear to me why one would want BT to bypass the lock in this manner. It seems the PIN or pattern lock would be pointless. If the phone is stolen (or lost) the person who stole it (or found it) could have access to your phone's contents through bluetooth. Am I missing something?
Definitely missing something. He wants the phone to be able to make calls while the phone is locked which is why i suggested to keep it unlocked by enabling driving mode through the mount.
My point was that allowing bypassing the lock through BT creates a exposure many would not want. The simplest solution might be keeping it unlocked either using a mount as you suggest, or using one of the profile apps that lets you create a profile to keep the phone unlocked when plugged in. He could then plug it into the car power adapter.
I use a pattern lock, and can make calls through the built-in BT in my car when the phone is locked. I can dial on the car's touch screen (disabled when the car is in motion, except for pre-set speed dials), or tell it to call someone by pressing a button on the steering wheel and saying the name. The car BT compares the spoken name with the list of contacts from my phone that have been BT-loaded into the car's contact list. Nevertheless,the call is made though the phone, since the vehicle BT is not itself a phone. Has anyone noticed that we have not heard again from Rajah, the originator of this thread? Rajah, are you there? Were your issues resolved?
I've had this for a couple of months now and I thought I'd share my experience with it so far. (I've already done a short version under another thread here)
The MW1 looks amazing, design wise. Sleek, elegant and pretty high tech. It complements any recent SE/Sony phone. As I use my headphones every day, either commuting or when training/working out, I bought this so I wouldn't have to use the headphone-port on my Sony Acro S. That way I keep it waterproof and won't wear out the flimsy hinge on the cover (phone).
Daily Use:
The clip:
In daily use, the clip doesn't provide enough "grip", so the entire thing has a tendency to move around. I believe that the spring on the clip is strong enough, but the grippers on the inside are not sharp enough to grip things like thin fabric (ie. t-shirts, shirts, synthetic material). The shiny (slippery) polycarbonate body of the adapter also makes things worse.
The clip hinge is placed at the opposite side of the charging port. A natural way to open the clip would then be to hold the adapter with one hand and use your thump to activate it. Problem is, SE/Sony designer has placed a "Call Answer Key" button right were you would hold your other fingers. When operating the clip, most of the time, you end up pressing the button. Then you get an annoying "peep'ing" sound, prob for voice dialing or something. Trying to avoid pressing the button only makes you fumble with the adapter.
The clip end is also flush with the adapter body and the hinge itself is placed very near the end of the body. As a result, the clip is "harder" to activate and your thumb does not have a natural resting place when it's fully engaged. Add to that the slippery surface of the entire thing, most times your thumb will slip and/or you will push the button.
- The clip should have had more leverage
- The clip should have been further in, that way you would be able to open the clip and hold it open until you find a suitable place to clip it.
- The surface of the clip should have been less shiny/more rubbery.
- The button is placed "illogically" compared to the clip mechanism. Either clip should be on other side or button should.
The Buttons
It's a small device, so butting a lot of buttons on it is not easy. But it could have been done so so SO much better than this. Operating the MW1 clipped into something and not looking at it is very difficult. Even after this amount of time, I haven't seemed to get proper "muscle memory" use from it.
The "Play" buttons are on a sort of "rocker", skip on either side and play/pause button in the middle. It's raised out from the adapter body and is pretty distinguishable from the other buttons on the device. The problems are as follows. There is a circular "Back" button placed very close to the rocker. Most of the time when I try to skip back, I end up pressing the back button. This brings the device out of the Bluetooth play function and into the device menu. Most times you wont notice this happens and you will press the back button again, that then selects another item in the menu and the device doesn't auto-return to the music funtion. I then have to stop and look at the screen to enter the music functions again.
A lot of times this happens, I end up in the SC-Card music function in the menu This renders the music function via Bluetooth useless. I then have to manually select the phone to use the play functions.
The volume button on the adapter is placed on the other side of the device. Quite often, but not as much as above, I manage to hit the skip button on the other side because one of my fingers is resting on it or near it.The volume rocker is also too narrow and it's sometimes hard to hit the right way, up or down.
One would also think the "Call Button" on the display side of the adapter would be the enter button, but it's not. All "confirm" responses done on the device is via the Play/Pause button. Sometimes I still hit the big call button as this is a bit more intuitive, too me at least.
Using any type of glove, in my case very thing biking-gloves makes it's neigh on impossible to use any of them. But this is sort of outside the parameters of use for most.
- Music/play buttons should have it's own side of the adapter. This would immensely help operating the thing without looking at it.
- Call button should be confirm button. That way you could hold the device with two hands, using our index fingers for either skip button and then your thumb on the call button as enter/confirm.
- The play functions should be placed closes the the charge side of the adapter. Increasing the distance from the volume buttons.
- Back button should be removed or placed someplace else, on the front opposite side of call button.
The Menu System
All in all, it works. Little or no lag, simple UI and easy to use. BUT BUT BUT I F-ING HATE using it connected to my phone, then entering the SD-menu instead. It's a hassle and a real annoyance. I've found it easier to unlock my phone and use that to change music instead. This is prob the worst part of the whole product and could have been a deal breaker for me had I known about it.
Using the smart app is also a bit of a hassle when playing music, since it automatically shows the received in the display. You then have to push play to view the entire message or back to enter music function again. Most times, I fumble with this and it's annoying. I will probably uninstall the sms/email/calender app because of this. Great idea thought and I love the functionallity.
- LOCK MUSIC FUNCTION WHEN YOU ARE CONNECTED VIA BLUETOOTH!!!!!!!
- What about removing the SD-CARD options from the menu, either user selectable or when there is NO sd-card in the slot.
- Press call button to view the message or play it via TTS...(WHICH IS GREAT BY THE WAY)
The SD MP3 Player
What a load of horse manure!!!! I can't say this enough time, this functions utterly destroys the usability of the device. Removine this ENTIRELY would INSANELY improve the device. But, actually having this function is a very VERY smart idea and would be great if it worked. There are problems with getting mp3's to the device. COME ON, WERE IN 2012. I had easier times getting MP3's to my Creative MuVo2!!!
Why does it sometimes enter the SD player in the menu when I'm playing via my phone and there is no sd-card in the slot? Grrrr...
- FIX IT
- Make it user de-activateable (SAME WITH RADIO)
- If there is no SD card, DONT SHOW it.
The Sound
Mainly very very good. Good earbuds, clear enough and deep enough. But why does it play the sound louder when skipping to a song, then 0.5sec later turn ut down, even if it's all the way up? It also started "skipping" the sound after a recent update. At the same time, I also started getting some static on it.
Actually I'm very impressed with the sound and the earbuds!
The "Metal" Cover
Looks pretty good, works pretty well. But this WILL wear out and become fllimsy. So the device's quality in it's entirety is solely based on the durability of this part. When this is worn, for the most part, it will make the device useless for me.
- A USB-key for charging and moving files would be better IMO
The Earbuds
The mic should have been on the ear-bud wires. I mostly look like a twatteroony trying to talk into the adapter. They are also too short to keep the adapter say, in the pocket.
- Longer wires and a mic would be very good. Then you could use the device display and call at the same time. You could also keep it in your pocket if it rained. Some jackets down have a natural place to clip the adapter to.
CONCLUSION
I'm happy with it, don't find it too expensive for what you get, battery life is great. You get a lot of accessories. If you needed another charger, that would be (here in Norway at least) HALF THE PRICE OF THE ENTIRE MW1 SET!!! You also get a short micro-usb cable which I find very "nifty".
But it's obvious that they didn't test this product IRL, but went straight from the CAD drawings to production in China'ish. If they used a little bit more of their brain capacity, this would be the single best product ever released from Sony Ericsson. That's what really annoys me, only very small adjustments would turn this adapter into the work of a genius!
WHY WHY WHY WHY CAN'T I GET ARTIST/SONG INFORMATION FROM SPOTIFY ON THE ADAPTER. Even Sony manages to get this info onto their lockscreen automatically. It's not like it takes a lot of bits to send this info vi BT.....
Pro:
- Light
- Sleek
- Esthetically design
- Great headphones
- Flat cable (tangle free) headphones
- It has a wide clip, strurdy
- Nice, unobtrusive display. Would a color LCD make it better? No, IMO it would look less for it)
- Long battery life
- Bundled accessories: microSD adapter, short micro USB cable, Micro USB charger
- Smart Apps; SMS, Mail, Call Log, Calender on device display
- Update device via phone
- Price, it's really not that bad when proper headphones are equal in price and you get FM/MP3 bundles as well
- Keeps my Acro S waterproof since I don't have to open the headphone flap.
- GREAT SOUND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cons
- Glossy is as glossy does, fingerprint hell!
- Short headphone cable means you can't use it on other devices and that you can't keep the BT dongle in you pocket if you wanted to
- 2GB microSD card? Come on, it goes straight in the trash and it's 2012. Skip it, or ship larger.
- Won't display song info from Spotify.
Can I talk even I changed the headphone? My headphone can only play music but not talking.

Wow! this looks great.
I really like mine, the headphones in particular and awesome. I just hope Sony releases some firmware updates to address the issues. They were quick with release one of them but since then it has been a long wait.
To use it as headset it is great!
If you wanna use the additional benefit of SD-Card player and radio it's just a pain to use, some thing do not work at all!
Hi all just thought id drop by and say there's a new software release, though to caveat that SUS hasn't worked fro me and the standalone bin file isnt available to DL yet

Software improvement:
- improved micro SD card compatibility and handling
- improved mp3 player functionality and playlist handling
- progress bar added for indexing of music
- Japanese caller-ID improved on non-Android phones
and yes its a dupe post but thought id get the news out
Another update 0.1.D.0.6
I've got a question about the mp3 player... if I pause it and turn it off... will it remember where I was the next time I turn it on.
I'm thinking of listening to audiobooks on it, but then it's very important that it remembers where it was last time when you power on the device.

I can test it when I get home later. When you play MP3 from phone, the music app will remember what you are playing. WHen you turn off the MW1, the music app is still active. WHen you reconnect the MW1, you can play from the pause because the app remembers
//Just got the MW1... definitely could use more polish (the device resetted a few times.. sigh)... the call button is totally useless for me, I keep accidentally pressing it and it beeps 3 times(mutes the music), then continues to play music
for those people wondering why A2DP or Stereo Audio isn't showing up --
You either have FM Radio or "nothing" selected... You'll need to go to the music icon on MW1, and select the device name. Then, A2Dp / Stereo Audio will work.... for multipoint, I have to do this manually everytime I switch device source
EDIT: for playing music off of the microSD, if I shut down and restart the player, it only remember the last song, but not the location within the song.... you could fast forward through the song (but no timestamp display)
there is playlist/album support, along with shuffle, and group by artist.... a basic music player
I am using this headset with a Nexus 5. I've had many other headsets of this type, such as a retired sony mw600, jabra clipper, and a still currently functioning samsung hs3000.
I liked all of them for various reasons. One of them being that if my phone was in my pocket, I could press the main button to load up google now search (using another app in the play store to change the default application opened by this button)
The MW1 impressed me at first. But I noticed a problem.
I noticed I was not able to use the action button on the headset for anything other than answering a call, or ending a call. If I pressed the button, it just beeps in the headphones. NOTHING! So I reinstalled the app I use to take control of what happens when you press a headset button and tested it was still working with my samsung HS3000. It worked like a charm. Press the button, said "text message John Smith Hey let's go see a movie later tonight" google prompted me to confirm I wanted to send the message, and away it went.
But when I use the MW1...NOTHING HAPPENS. It just beeps.
Is there a way I can use the circle button on the mw1 to load up google now, and how can I find out what application is taking up the first space in my notification bar?
I still have not found a way to do this.
Thanks!
Battery Info
is there any way to read the battery level from mobile phone?
Using this BT headset for 1 month..
Mostly agree with the review..
For me, flat cable is not good, although it's tangle free, it's very microphonic.
The clip's grip is very light, can't hold MW1 on my pocket well
The rest is no complaint..
Amazing sound quality from it's DAC chip (play from microSD), the SQ is near to sansa clip+, just less soundstage and separation. Much better than my galaxy S2. SQ degradation due to BT transmission is very little.
The bundled IEM (Sony Ericsson MH1a) is very-very great for basshead. Surprisingly, it also good for rock! Yeah, it has good speed and transient! That's rarely found on basshead IEM on it's price
So far I'm so happy to be MW1 user

codes not matching
Couldn't find a better place to ask this. Trying to pair my Sony MW1 with a Taotronics Wireless Audio Bluetooth Transmitter (TT-BA01) to listen to my TV through headset. Can do this easily with my newer Sony SBH52 headset. When trying to pair with MW1, the MW1 keeps on saying on display "Codes not matching". Transmitter manual says it can pair with pin codes: 0000, 1111, 1234, or 8888. Does anyone know what pin code for MW1 is? And whether pin code can be changed?
MW1 manual has no mention of pin codes. Troubleshoot on Sony site makes not mention of "Codes not matching" prompt.
Pls help. Sorry mods if this is the wrong place to ask.
Hi ! Exactly the same problem!
