I just bought an Xperia P, and previously I used a motorola milestone phone. While the watch is working properly under GB CM7.2 with openwatch, I can't get it work with Xperia P / ICS
I paired the device, but its still not working...
Any advise please?

Hi, I know I own another type of cellphone, but when I used the mod-installed Walkman software - I enabled both Sony player options in Openwatch AND checked the option that simulates headset button presses.
Also, I had to start the music player manually; pressing the stop/play button on the watch doesn't do it for you after GB.
Once the music player's running tho, the rest of the functionality should work.

It turned out I'm not alone. I found a few other people at sony forum who has the same problem. It seems that only ICS is affected. So the watch / openwatch works perfectly under GB, but not on ICS with Xperia P.
I don't have any idea what could be wrong :/

can i use mw600 with laptops bluetoooth?
i.e all the music i play on my laptop..is streamed to mw600..which outputs it to connected headset.
so i can walk around and listen to music from my laptop in my room
Yes, all you have to do is pair it, and Windows should automatically connect and send audio through it. If it doesn't, just right click on the Bluetooth Devic and select "Control" - you should get a dialogue window where you can click "Connect." I use it all the time at work... fantastic!

Notice you won't get track names in the MW600 when playing songs from Windows, as it happens with X10.

It does that at all?
It doesn't for me, yet I'm using mediascape and this headset.
It never showed me anything else than the SE logo and volume level.
EDIT:
After googling around on this, I've found out that the ID3 tags via Bluetooth are not supported by Android OS at the time being.
Quote from SE Team's Facebook:
Sony Ericsson Hi All,
Here is the update:
1. ID3 information requires the AVRCP 1.4 in order to be displayed on the MW600. Therefore the ID3 tags will not appear on the MW600 when paired with an X10.
2. X10 doesn’t support FF/RW function.
All other functions should be as normal. The "start playback" issue experienced by Stefan shouldn't occur, this may be specific with your headset, can you test with another X10 at a store location?
As for you Tord, are you pressing and holding the power button until the pairing indicator appears? You should then be able to search for the headset via your phone. Let me know.

I am using ubuntu to connect to mw600. It connects without hitch.
but is giving mono output.
can someone using windows please tell me if they can hear stereo sound?
I use my MW600 with multiple computers (my work laptop HP 8540W and my home computer) and stereo bluetooth works just fine. As does using it as a headset for skype.
For ubuntu you may have to find a different driver for bluetooth or make sure your device/drivers support AD2P.

Unable to play songs on MW600 from my laptop
Hello Folks,
I have been trying to stream music from my laptop onto MW600 headset, but for some reason the music always escapes through the laptop speakers..!
I think I am already in love with this device, only that I am not able to use it to its fullest.
Also, if anyone can guide if this may work with Skype ? what is it differently that I may have to do to configure my MW600 to it ?
OS Platform : Windows XP Pro.
PS : I am not being able to figure out where the control option on the Bluetooth in the PC comes on.
Appreciating your help.
Regards

Hi am using Xperia X10 2.1 with latest update...
when I connect my Dell BH200 Device which is capable of playing music as well for answering the phone calls and talk using it. The Device just connects fine with my Xperia X10, for both Phone and Media...however, I can only play music on it. When there is call(incoming/outgoing) the bluetooth device is turned off in next 10 - 15 secs. Any clue why it does not work?
Is there anything that I can do to get it work with this phone?
P.S... the device works fine with my old SE P990i both for music and call..also works well with laptop for music
...the subject says it all really.
If I get the Motorola work & play kit, will I be able to also use the BT keyboard+mouse & pair them with my media PC?

I don't see why not. It's just a keyboard. Some of the keys might not work though, or work "funny", mostly the android specific ones.
did anyone get this working?
when i try and pair with a windows 7 (x86) machine it generates a code and fails instantly.
edit: nevermind - i just entered 0000 and it allowed me to connect
now I just need to learn the keyboard layout properly!
I also found it amsuing that the music key (F8) does Rightclick and P together... how strange!
at least back is escape so I can ctrl+back to get the windows menu up
Guys if anyone wants to buy a work and play kit I have a brand new one for sale at a rock bottom price.
Let me know.

I tried this on windows 64 it pairs but doesnt seem to work, did you have to do anything specific?
It works fine on windows 7 64 bit
On Windows 7 64 bit, took a couple of attempts to pair before it did. Worked great after that.
In order to pair the keyboard to a PC, ensure the keyboard is turned off. Then, to pair it with a computer, press and hold the V, A, and R keys while turning on the keyboard. Then, continue to pair it to your computer.
I've also verified this works when attempting to pair the keyboard to an ipod touch. My daughtgger was having problems with it because the right hand side of the screen wasn't responding which means she couldn't type the P key and we needed to type that key while I attempted to fix it. Pairing the bluetooth keyboard allowed me to type the letter P when needed.
You also do a factory reset on the keyboard so that it clears out all pairing information by pressing and holding the N, E, and W keys while powering on the keyboard as well.
This works at least for the Motorola Bluetooth keyboard I have which is model 89451N.

Worked on win7x64, just you need turn the keyboard on and off perhaps. Also, you need to unpair it from any previously paired device.
Has anyone tried the Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard & Mouse For Android Devices (89451N) to play games such as deadspace or Nova 3?
function keys
can anyone tell me whether the Fn + Capslock shortcut works with this keyboard on windows? the shortcut that swaps around the function controls so that f1 f2 etc happen on the first press instead of the media keys?
Hi there,
I've got really strange problem with my XPERIA MINI PRO - when I plug in the headphones, the phone wouldn't recognize them.
Only if I've had them plugged before BOOT of my phone.
So, when Iam turning on / rebooting my phone with plugged phones, they're working and recognized, but when I disconnect them, same problem -> phone ignores it.
So, my xperia mini pro can't recognize the action of plugging in phones in general. Have tried official kernel, custom kernel, few roms and its deffinitely a hardware problem.
Does anyone knows how does this phone recognize that? And what might be my problem?
Thanx for any ideas.

i have a similar problem on mine, but mine thinks it has headphones plugged it all the time! i downloaded an app called "headset toggle" it gives you a widget on your home screen to show if headphones are connected or not, and clicking on the icon forces a connect or disconnect of them regardless of wether they are connected or not, should fix your problem:

edit: just to add i have 4.0.4 and it works perfect on my phone
Headset not recognising
i am facing the similar problem...... my headset is also not detecting when i plug in, detecting only when i reset my phone and when i unplug again it's not detecting. i face this problem since i update my mobile to latest version (ICS 4.0.4)

Hello,
I had the exact same problem. It was a hardware problem. The only way is to take it in for service as I did. was repaired at electronics level.
Is it possible to solve this problem with headphones? Any app? Toggleheadset does not work for me. Thanks

did you use a SE headphone or a normal headphone?
i got similar problem. If jack isnt plugged in, there are some electronical noises in microphone, so i cant use, if i remove jack, the phone doesnt recognize. i ToggleHeadset, now microphone works good, and recognized that i removed the jack
what hardware causes this problem? i ask it because i bring my mini pro friday to the service, and maybe i'll ask about it there for repair.

This is a halfway software solution to make the phone work, for a complete repair i believe taking the phone to service is necessary.
I have a hardware problem where xperia mini pro (Stock Rom ICS 4.0.4) is constantly detecting headphones connecting and disconnecting. This stops all the multimedia with sound, so it was impossible to start a music file or video because it was automaticly paused).
Disabling the Live ware app (connect now app) did not help,
This may not work for people who can not make phone play music or videos after headphones are inserted,
I managed to solve problem with software and by inserting headphones in the jack once every boot.
You need 2 apps; soundabout and toggleheadset2 (widget),
soundabout does not need to be registered), you will just need to set soundabout service to run on every boot, and set the 'media audio' output to speaker by default.
Every time phone is booted or rebooted insert the headphones, then play a song, remove the headphones and toggle headset to off, every time you wish to use the headphones you will need to toggle the headset widget to on manually,
i recommend to have phone calls and messages also set to vibrate in case you forget to toggle after unplugging the headphones.
I have not yet managed to get working the headset microphone,
If the headphones work in iPhone they wont work in Xperia mini pro or arcs or 2011 device , u need JVC gummy plus , they come with adaptor to sort the problem

Hi all,
I recently got the xperia z2 and have been having trouble getting the z2 to identify my sony ericsson mw600 via bluetooth. I know i can pair the phone with my laptop and other devices so i dont think its a internal problem. I also know my mw600 headset works with my old phone. Any idea why the z2 might not be seeing my mw600 on the bluetooth screen?

Im not familiar with the headset but some times devices can only be synced with 1 device at a time, does it need to maybe be unlinked then linked with a new device?

I am quite sure the sony ericsson mw600 allows you to pair multiple devices, and besides i broke my other phone so wouldn't be able to unpair it.
the must go into pairing mode first, then use the z2 to scan via bluetooth and connect it.
bluetooth handfree device doesn't require to unpair just pair with another device to overwrite it.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
just to clarify -
is the headset in paring mode?
Thank you for someone to notice it and I have the same issue with my DR-BTN200. It shows connected and music plays from external speakers and if it successfully connected then every single notification you get the phone keeps disconnecting it from the headset and plays music from external speakers and then connect it back to bluetooth headset.
HUGE BUG

Don't know if this helps but i have the smart wireless headset pro - mw1 and that works fantastically well. Had some trouble before with my Xperia V but they are all gone now with the Xperia Z2. Just put the headset in paringmode, made the phone visible, erased my old Xperia V from the MW1 and all was good.
Hi all,
Thanks for the input! I managed to solve it. My samsung s3 never needed the mw600 to actually go into pairing so i had no clue the mw600 even had a pairing mode! After some checking I found out i had to hold the power button for 5 seconds for it to go into pairing. After that my z2 picked it up fine and works just like before.
Thanks again to everyone that replied!

All bt devices need to go in pairing mode before they can be discovered. For your S3, I am guessing it is the first phone you paired with the headset brand new? Cause most devices will go straight into the pairing mode when turned on for the first time, hence that's why you didn't know or need to activate it.
had pairing issues too, was not able to pair some devices, but after disabling NFC i had no problems.
