So I had a bit of weirdness with this - I always just took Bluetooth connectivity as a given, but the Lumia 800 seems to be really finicky..
Attempt #1: Existing Jawbone Icon
Connection kept activating and dropping out
Figured it was just because the earpiece was older and things had moved on.
Attempt #2: Brand New BlueAnt Q2
Same issue - repeated dropping out
At this point, I google searched "Lumia 800 Bluetooth Compatibility" and found a rash of posts by people that are running into the same thing. Apparently, Nokia has narrowed the Bluetooth compatibility limiting the number of devices you can use with it. There's probably some bllsh-t reason about imposing this to improve reliability...etc.. but my guess is they want to sell more Nokia headsets because sure enough...
Attempt #3: Brand New Nokia J
Perfect function!
Anyone else run into anything? Wouldn't surprise me to hear that after all the $100 sets above I tried, a $5 cheapy probably works fine..
I ran into similar issues, also with wired handsfrees.
I first tried my old Bluetooth headset(Creative of some sort), sound out worked perfectly but not mic.
I then went and got a pair of wired, asked specifically for one where I would have proper earbuds and a mic that was compatible with WP7/Lumia 800, same story, sound working out but not mic, went to the store and they tried it with an adapter that reverses the order and same result.
Eventually I went to the local Nokia store and dished out about 250 USD for a set of Nokia BH-905i, and those work flawlessly, they are even wired and BT and the ANC works, so to be honest, not really regretting that purchase
Good info, Thor.
I am finding the Nokia J is working well for the most part - with some hiccups; sometimes I have to restart the device; re-pair the J, or both.
One thing I did find is I think the magnetic tab on my generic phone holster is playing havoc with the bluetooth connection. It's never stable when I carry the phone in that.
So have ordered on eBay a non-magnetic case made for the Droid A855 which is identical in size to the Lumia. Will have to see when that comes in if there's a difference.
Right now, weather in LA's hot again, I REFUSE to carry this thing in my pants pockets, and the holster in other respects is just too damned convenient to consider throwing away until the Droid case arrives..

Just wanted to know which is the best and most compatible, ie. where all the handsfree features work like voice dial etc. Bluetooth Handsfree for the Wizard. Not stereo headsets.
well i will let you know the moto h700 worked like **** on mine the volume was low. If i wasnt in a busy restaurante and in my car with windows up i could barely hear anything i want to know what people think also
((It might be a good idea to mention those headsets that really suck so people won't even think of buying them.))
I have the exact same problem with my Motorola HS820 bluetooth headset, extremely low volume, voice command never understands what I'm saying........it sucks!
BLUETOOTH HEADSETS
Ones I have tried:
gennum nxgen 5500 plus - http://www.gennum.com/audio/index.htm - the only one that was worth using it actually cut out the background noise i had a bus drive pass me my gf never even heard the bus i could talk on the phone while in the bathroom and my gf could not hear the echo it worked everywhere it took a while to charge but its not bad and was a bit flimsy it broke after about a month and a half because the ear clip broke off in my pocket now having read around i wish i had kept the broken one and contacted gennum because as i have been told other places if you call them and tell them they just ship out replacements barely even asking what happened the one i want to try that i haven't is the gennum zen headset which looks to do the same as the 5500 plus but is a little more stylish in my opinion and has a technology called leap which helps with face to face conversations with people in crowded areas as well although the downside to these units are there are not many places that carry the 5500 plus especially around me here in tennessee and the only place that carries the zen headset is ecost.com which if by some odd odd chance i didn't like the zen headset i couldn't return it because because ecost.com only allows you to exchange for other items on their website and with 179.99 price tag for it i am not gonna risk not being able to get my money back being more then half as much as my phone
nokia n80 - not to bad but so small it would miss direct the mocriphone and pick up something else and not my voice and hurt the inside of my ear picked up alot of background noise
jabra jx10 - had a big problem with it charging i tried 3 none charged turned out to be a bad charger once charged it picked up alot of background noise
motorola h500 - picks up background noise is loud enough most of the time but gets uncomfortable and rubs the outside of your ear canal raw if worn all day
motorola h700 - does better with background noise and is loud enough most of the time love the charging time 45 minutes to do a full charge but also get uncomfortable and rubs the outside of your ear canal raw if worn all day
plantronics m3000 - don't bother just background noise everywhere
plantronics voyager 510 - picks up less background noise but is just a bit big even though it is light although for the most part it is secure all the time and fairly comfortable
plantronics discovery 640 - great but after long perisods of wear after about a month or so the eargel begins to wear thin on the back and get rough and ended up rubbing my ear raw on the inside
plantronics discovery 645 - haven't tried it yet but from everything i have heard the battery life goes way down the drain when used with the dsp turned on and doesn't work that great anyway
motorola - hs850 just flops around to much on the ear as well as not loud enough and doesn't have any noise reduction and pics up all background noise
plantronics explorer 320 - really hurts the inside of my ear didn't even give it enough time to try thoroughly but from what i could tell it picks up background noise everywhere
Bluetooth in the car
OK, headsets is just one part of it....
What about bluetooth carkits?? Does anyone have a good suggestion for the T-Mobile Vario/K-jam/etc...???
:?: :?: :?:
thanks for those bluetootj reviews..
Im using the hs500 and for the most part its been good. I agree as it may pick up background noise but its the most comfortable headset ive ever worn. The range is also pretty good but i havent compared this to other headsets.
I also have a jabra bt800. This headset is feature packed but is just too bulky. It bothers me when i have it on too long and i dont really want to go out in public with it. It even has caller id though.
My question ..
Is there any headset that works with voice command? Im suprised microsoft havent pushed out a fix for this.
Also anyway to listen to media player through my motorola or do i absolutely need a stereo headset
Anybody using the Nokia CK-7W with the Wizard?
hbh-662 works great, good sound volume and the sound is better than using the handset itself.
enilkciw said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am. I had nokia phones for years, that is why I have the ck-7w. I have the speaker going into an adaptor so it is using my car audio speakers instead of the speaker they include.
Sound quality is very good, and there is plenty of volume. I have had conversations with the windows down at 70 mph. No one has ever complained they cant hear me. Although, I do naturally raise my voice when I am talking on it.
An issue is the voice dial. I didnt have many problems with the included voice tag software (although there were times it did not work) But using MS voice command has been a problem. When it does work, it works great, it always recognizes what I am saying. But it seems after making a call or two with it, the car-kit button stops working. A double press will redial the last call, and then a single press will end it, but a single press or press and hold (what is supposed to start voice command) no longer does anything. And voice command works great from the phone.
My only other issue, is when I get an incoming call from someone on a cell phone in my contacts list, sometimes I cant hear them at all and they can barely hear me. I never had this problem from an incoming land line phone call, and all outgoing calls are fine.
Actually one other thing (though it is not an issue for me) anytime a call comes in, the phone (I have an 8125) sends a generic ringer to the car kit. Whatever ring tone you have specified, rings from the phone itself, but not from the car kit. I really dont care about this, but others might.
I would just really like to get the bluetooth connections fixed.
Cardo Scala 500
I am a big fan of the Cardo Scala 500. I bought one three years ago, and was very pleased with it. When it was broken earlier this year, I decided to try some Moto products, none of which provided the noise cancelling that I needed...I spend alot of time in my car...so I went back the Scala 500, and I absolutely love this headset.
It's comfotable to wear for as long as you need to, the noise cancelling works exceptionally well, it comes with a lanyard and a belt clip, and it's inexpensive! It is compatible with voice recognition programs, and the volume is fantastic! I actually find myself turning it down. I have bought both of mine on eBay for about $40 shipped.
I highly recommend this headset.
SCALA is cool
Yeah Scala is really great, I amazed at its capacity to remain charged. I have charged it less often and it remains charged. Real value for money, connects smoothly to my O2 Mini S. No problem with voice activation. Great volume. Simply super.
Hello,
Any recommendations on the best bluetooth unit for the tytn? I would also like to pair it with another phone sometimes, if that makes a difference.
I'm only looking at using it for voice calls and skype...don't care about music playback, etc...
Thanks,
LIP
I use the Jabra Jx10.
It works great and is easy to switch to anther phone (just turn off the last phone used and it auto connects to the next phone it was paired with). Might be an easier way, but this does work.
Only negative I have with all bluetooth is I can hear the hiss sound very well. But I have that problem with all bluetooth. Friend of mine has the exact same phone and bluetooth and he can't hear the hiss at all. But then again I think he must be going death.
My next bluetooth to try is the jawbone. Once it comes out in black.
My BT headset
I've got the Plantronics Discovery 645. Overall, I'd say it's very good. Great sound, people tell me I sound good, pretty good range, etc. I generally keep it on the lowest volume level, and that's just loud enough for me.
My only complaints are:
1. Whenever I answer using the BT headset button, it takes about 1-2 seconds for the audio stream to fully kick in. (That could be a BT thing, not just this headset.) But occasionally my TyTn's BT is off (I've noticed that it sometimes turns off overnight...still trying to figure out why), and when I try to answer using the BT headset button, I end up waiting about 3 seconds before I notice that there's something wrong. Then it's a mad scramble to get my TyTn out of the holster and answer manually.
2. The soft-gel earpiece, although soft and comfy, isn't a perfect fit for my ear. After putting it in and adjusting it, if I move my head just a little too fast, it will start to come loose to the point where I need to push it back in. I end up fiddling with it to find the "snug" point where it's secure enough to stay in. (Yeah I could use the little wire whip to hook over my ear, but I wear glasses, and that makes it uncomfortable.)
If this BT headset ever gives out (or my wife decides she wants it instead), I'll be checking out other BT headsets. Until then, it's good enough for the price.
So far I had more than 20 BT units. My latest one is simply the best.

No clip. but not like similar units with no clip, this one if very comfortable. You get in the box 3 sizes of ear/gel adapters. try and see which one fits you most and there you go.
jawbone
Get one of the new jawbones. It blows everything else away. I have owned every headset mentioned here and returned them all within 30 days.. and with disappointment. I have been able to carry on a conversation without raising my voice in a convertible with the top down (windows up) at triiple digit speeds. It is the only headset that has been reasonably quiet on the other end enough that the person is willing to chat with me. THe buttons take some getting used to, and so does the fit wih all the included options. Try them out until you are sure it fits snugly.

I second your opinion. I love my jawbone. I can talk to anyone 2 inches away from my washing machine, and they can't even hear it when it's running. Truly amazing. Check it out at www.jawbone.com.
I just got back to work with a brand new HBH-IV835 and I have to say it's dissapointing.
The sound from the speaker is a bit muffled, like it's missing treble. Other end complains that my sound gets also muffled under noisier environments (Computer room).
Other complaints are the loysy answer/reject button, and no way to change the volume.
When the battery runs low, the earpiece won't alert the user in anyway (or not that I've heard) but just dies silently leaving you wonder what the hell happened.
On the plus sides, it sits comfy in the ear and it's light and looks cool.
Verdict: I'm gonna test drive this over the weekend and prolly take it back to the store and try Jabra JX10 instead. The sound quality is just lame.
I use the Sony Ericsson DS970 and find it great.
It wasn't without tirals and tribulations though as it was originally rubbish and I was quite disapointed.
I searched the forums and found that a hwhole host of bright people had made patches for the issues that work for most headsets.
To start I downloaded and installed the fit4cat tweaker (Now 2.0) which has boosted the audio quality and done a load of other funky things to my phone so that application is a must! for the Hermes.
l also downloaded a cab from somewhere called A2DPfix.CAB which stopped the skipping.(Yes.. it seems you need both)
THere is also another patch called bluetooth Voice command.cab that stops the Hemes occasionally outputing the audio to the phone rather than the headset and stops the voice command talking over your conversation.
Is there anything left that could be fixed?? Yes.. there are still no tags for numbers from the phone but I can live with that. And sometimes the phone behaves a little slow when reading mail whilst listening to music and its downloading something. but thats ok for me.
All these patches are available if you read the forums and take in what has been said so you can find them.
using a plantronics 510, works great for me.
Jawbone -- thirded
Jawbone is the best, for sure. I've had about 5 of them. Never returned them. They are just sitting around somewhere (gave a couple away).
After raving about mine, all of the fellows in the office are getting them. They're that good. It's the only BT earpiece that my girlfriend will let me talk to her on.
-Humber
Very good to hear. My jawbone gets here monday so I will post a review as well.

Please post in detail about compatibility and functionality. My current headset the flamingo really BLOWS with the 8525. My Jawbone is coming on Friday and I am planning on doing a hard reset for the arrival.
MSVC over BT has been a total disaster. Now I just want BT that works.
Jabra BTV 500
Hey,
I use the Jabra BTV 500V (Vibration).
Very long use, good work with my TYTN.

JAWBONE REVIEW
So here is my short review of the Jawbone (Bluetooth) based off only a few hours of testing. Look for an edit if things change.
First of all... this is the best presented Bluetooth I have ever received. Just wait until you open the box, it almost makes you want to take a picture.
But that's just fluff now the real stuff.
Calls are noticeable better on my end.
The Bluetooth hiss is almost gone for me, and I imagine most would say non exist at all.
Noise Shield seems to work well. I turned on my bathroom fan and shower as a "loudness" test then called my wife. She could not hear the fan at all, and could only hear a slight static from the tub running. (which is very loud).
Outgoing calls seem to be the same as my Jabra JX10. At least to my wife. I think it sounds better when I had some one call me on my new jawbone.
It fits very well. I have trouble with some ear loops and ear buds on other Bluetooth I have tried, but they provide you with enough to get a near perfect fit. I can wear it without the ear loop like my JX10 with only minimal fear of it falling out.
I do not use voice command so I cannot rate.
I do use voice dial and so far it has not had any trouble in a variety of noise levels (further testing needs to be done for me to feel comfortable on this, but it is at least as good as the JX10).
It does not call back someone when double clicking (like it should on some phones) I love this as I store it in my pocket and am prone to clicking the button by mistake.
It rings faster than my phone rings. Meaning that I can hear it in my ear before it ever rings out loud on my phone.
Pressing the phone answer key auto connects to the jawbone. I can live with this, but I personally would like it not to auto answer... I mean normally if I hit the green talk button on my phone it is because I can't find my Bluetooth so I would rather talk on the phone and not it.
It is noticeable larger than the jx10. Which see my last part about loosing my Bluetooth is not necessarily such a bad thing. however it is very light not light enough to drop it by mistake, but light enough to wear on your ear for a long time. (Although IMHO you should not wear it on your ear all day long, the borg look is just not in. but this is just my editorial opinion.)
The manual says it is Bluetooth 1.2 complaint. So I am not sure if it is really a Bluetooth 2.0 that happens to work down to 1.2
Despite that I can still reach the same range as my JX10 (which I am pretty sure is 2.0).
It comes with an AC charger and a USB cord. (USB plus into AC charger so you can charge either way). The Manual it comes with is top notch.
OVERALL: I like this Bluetooth. If my opinion changes I will post it. Sound is the best I have used on incoming and ties for outgoing with my JX10. And I have used about 6 different BT over the past 2 years. It looks good and feels good.
Oh and for all you who hate the flashing blue light... this one is a much less annoying dim white.
Q
sounds great, too bad we cannot get them here in Australia.
Might have to Ebay it....

D'oh! I realize that I wrote my previous post a little ambiguously... I had 5 other BT headsets, and they're all just sitting around.
I only have one Jawbone, sorry :-( There's a guy selling them on ebay...
-Humbert
is it possible for incomng/outgoing calls to use the same bluetooth earpiece with two devices?
if so... what brand should i get?
the two devices are a Blackstone and a Polaris.
Thats a question I would love an answer to. So far the onlt bluetooth device that i've found to do this is the Jabra BT8040. I own one and it works as advertised though with some bugs....
TechAnimal
what kind of bugs?
An example, when you're in a call with one phone and the other rings, it switches to the ringing phone without you answering, which leaves the person you were speaking to wondering what the heck happened.
TechAnimal
I could live with that... I just switch one off =)). Kidding now... it's rather rare when this happends. Just that I can't find the earpiece here... i searched each romanian online store... nothing

Sure, it is called BlueAnt and I have two of them. Both the black color and the red color. Couldn't decide which one to get, so went for both colors.
However, one is sufficient!
The z9i:
http://www.myblueant.com/z9i_headset.htm
Since then they have come out with a newer model called V1, which has voice command build into the bluetooth.
http://www.myblueant.com/v1_voice_control.htm
I paid $75 each for the z9i year ago, they are now less than $40 each .
KOR!
Also, they give you a cable for firmware upgrade. When I bough mine it had v1.0 firmware on them, since then I have upgraded to v1.1

Jabr BT8010 can do it as well. I own one and its a pretty cool peace of toy. Especially to see on the screen of the headset who is calling and that you can even dial with this headset names from your phoneboock is very convinient. I dont want to miss it anymore.

Thanks a lot! I found it at a good price here which is awsome.
Multumesc!
was my pleasure to help you.
I did buy it from vodafone, on points (was free for me)
you can try in there if you have some points.
SE HBH-DS980 works fine with two devices.
gentillo
too many wires I already ordered the plantronics earpiece. as soon as it arrives i'll let you know how it works.
it arrived
While on vacation, the earpiece arrived.
+ good sound quality
+ easy pairing
+ it pairs to more than two devices
+ accessories (it was shipped with different earbugs and earloops, to fit more customers)
= battery life
- small range: if more than 5 meters (even with direct line of sight) the call could be considered as dropped
- no car charger or USB charger in the package (uses proprietary charging socket)
I'd say it's a 8/10.

Eh?! What the deuce? I use this headset every day but never knew you can get dual connections on it?
Are you sure you don't mean multiple PAIRING? I haven't seen a headset (other than dodgy $5 nobrand ones) that can't multi-pair, it's pretty much a prerequisite of any bluetooth headsets to even make it to market these days.
But being able to connect to more than 1 host device is the challenge here...eg: listening to music via A2DP on the Blackstone and have my music automatically pause to answer a call coming in a Trinity for example...and vice versa... and if I press the voice command button, which phone does it issue the voice command to... etc..
plantronics voyager 520 with noise canceling
Hi guys, anyone here encountered this issue of a non-stereo headset (mine is an SE HBH PV705) that while playing music/audios, it would cutoff from the headset and play through the ppc-speaker at every 4-5 mins.?? Each time I'll have to press the headset button to resume listening through the headset.
...I've never had this issue with my WM5 ppc with the same headset - I can listen through the headset for hours even w/o any interruptions.
...solved.
For in car use both Nexus and Movon have products that do this - both available from amazon.co.uk or were last time I looked:
http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=227944&C=AffilWin89477&T=41513_
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Movon-MK30-Bluetooth-Hands-Free-Car/dp/B001EKMRVU
Jabra BT 8010 or 8040 do the job well with the glitches already mentioned with simultaneous calls. They have "multipoint technology" that is they poll both the handsets alternately making both think that have an individual headset paired.
I had problem with 8040 due to sweating. Sweat like hell.. and they are NOT water resistant, something you need to keep in mind if u are planning to get one.
2 devices, one headset
Yes, I also have the problem. I got a headset which can connect two mobiles, both are Nokia but I can't do that with one PPC phone and one Nokia?
What wrong or may be some setting on PPC need?
Thanks
After I got my Tilt 2, I was looking for something wireless for listening to music (I Might)
I was thinking having Jawbone prime as my car bt device.
Looked and searched through the internet, nothing was reasonable price and suitable for working out / treadmill until I ran into this.
http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5008646&sku=M151-2514
Its motorla, but a few reviews on the internet looks good. Not sure how well it will work on the rhodium phones. Anyone got any ideas.
Site is Canadian, but I'm sure there are alot of US sites.
I use the s305 with my ATT tp2 with energyrom, and it works fine. The incoming call quality is nice and loud, and people on the other end report that they can hear my clearly, but ofcourse its nowhere near as clear as my jawbone 2 in the outgoing department. The volume is pretty decent, with the phone on 100% volume in both system and pocketplayer, i can leave the s305 at about 50% volume and still be able to get enough volume to drown out a moderately filled starbucks.
65 dollars seems a bit steep though, i bought it locally at a fry's for 50, and prior to that i saw it even cheaper still online, i just couldn't wait for delivery as i was going on a trip and needed a replacement for my plantronics 855, which had better noise isolation but the incoming calls had my voice in it as an echo, and in-ear solutions sometimes is a hit or miss in fitment....in my case it was a miss.
I recommend the s305's if you prefer to still be able to hear around you, i use these when i'm cycling so i can still hear my surroundings.
I should also mention that since A2DP and headset are two different profiles, you can pair your jawbone for headset (its the only profile it supports) and deselect headset but leave bt stereo checked for the s305 and they will not conflict with each other even if they're both on simultaneously. The s305 also supports multiple connections simultaneously so if you happen to have a seperate bt stereo source (i use a samsung p2 as a dedicated mp3 player to save on my phone's power sometimes) you can pair the s305 to both and have them both be connected at the same time, and it will switch from one mode to the other if a call comes in and switch back when the call ends.
i have a nokia bluetooth headset which i think is brilliant. i dont listen to music on my tp2 but always use it with my nokia e51. it should work fine witht he tp2 aswell.
its the nokia bh103 Link
i use it for sat nav + music on the same phone at the same time while riding my bicycle and its great.

All joking aside they should work just fine on your Note 3. Enjoy!
I had some issues with Sbh52 regarding dropped connections but they resolved after update. SBH52 is fine and all but I never used the speaker and didn't care about the screen either. It broke for no reason after just three months of use and I bought SBH 20, which goes for 23 pounds on ebay uk. I like it better since it's not dragging on my shirts and can be well hidden.
Think hard how much do you need the screen and the speaker and more importantly - is it worth 2-3 sbh 20's?
Iove my sbh50. I've had 2 in fact,thought I lost one and bought another. 1week later I found it left on with a full charge. Granted it was not connected to a phone and in stand by but even then I get about 10 hours with non stop streaming music and taking calls. Another plus is you can stay connected while charging. Which is great in the car. I also use it with an FM tuner that has 3.5mm plug and a head unit in another car with the 3.5mm aux, bookshelf speakers ect and it all works great. You can also pair 2 devices at a time and separate music and calls. In my car with a Bluetooth head untit I have the note 3 stream music not calls for privacy, and the calls only go to the SbH50 to earbuds. Alternatively you can have your phone connected for calls and another device, say your tablet connected for media.

I like mine as well, gets good battery (8hrs- straight or mixed) Plus I like that you can use any headphones/earbuds.
I hate that rubber/silicone tip found on most earbuds these days (hate not being able to hear whats around me) But most hard tip earbuds dont come with media controls.
Had mine since January and still like it.
