I'm thinking about purchasing the Cobra iRadar Radar Detector for my car but I'm wondering if this can be synced up to my Evo 3D since it connects using bluetooth at the same time my car's bluetooth phone system is connected. To my understanding I thought only one piece of hardware could be connected to a device via bluetooth at a time but the more people I talk too the more I hear that it depends on the devices involved and what their bluetooth specifications allow. So if anybody knows anything about this issue involving the Evo 3D I'd be much appreciative for any help that could shed some light on this...Thanks!
If it using the same protocol it likely will not work. I was able to get my stereo headset (phone and media) and my BT keyboard connected at the same time. However, i think i needed to connect the keyboard first and it would not auto reconnect when i turned the screen back on.

From my (limited) understanding Bluetooth allows for 7 simultaneous connections. But, like the poster before me stated, it probably won't work if they are using the same protocol-you will have issues connecting 2 a2dp devices at the same time. I'm not sure what the cobra uses... You might want to field this question to cobra directly, or on their forums. Certainly they tested this or some customer has.
There is also a possibility that Bluetooth 3.0 in the phone might change this as well. I can say from personal experience that things get iffy with my Kenwood head unit in my car with the 3d, an ipad, and a nook color... Hardly able to say which device is at falt in that loop though-and its 3 devices hooked to the head unit, not to the phone.

mutliple devices can be synced but only one device can be using particular bluetooth feature at a time.
Example:
Car Stereo has Bluetooth
My Phone can be connected to Bt Phone
My Ipod Touch can be connected to BT Audio
Both connected at the same time

Which Bluetooth keyboard do you have? I'm lookin.
Sent from my Shooter
So.... I'm in the market for a new Bluetooth and wanted to get some REAL user feedback of what everyone is using and what are their pros and cons are of the Bluetooth you are using.
What I'm looking for is a Bluetooth that can take advantage of Androids voice commands thru the Bluetooth with out touching the phone (i.e. Call xxx, navigate to... Listen to.. Send text to...)
Also I have seen and been reading that some Bluetooth manufactures are releasing their own apps in the market. which enhance the Bluetooth experience with text to speech, and ability to respond to text thru the Bluetooth.
Also would like to know what sound quality is, how well music streams, voice and call quality(on both ends) and distance away from phone(how far you can go) and talk time.
There is one Bluetooth I have been looking into, and it is the motorola HX550 that sprint has.. It has moto speak app (which will read your text to you and you can respond to text thru the Bluetooth and has a range of 300 feet.
So please let me know what your pros and cons are...
Thank you for your input...
No one uses Bluetooth?

I have the Jawbone Icon and I'm very happy with it. I upgraded to it from the Jawbone 2, which I still have and it still works perfect as well. With the Icon you can listen to music and audio from movies/videos on your phone. All you have to do is sync it with Jawbone's website and update out to the latest software. The company, Aliph, constantly has software updates and apps on the Jawbone website so you can keep your headset up to date with the latest features. I've never had a Bluetooth headset before that had those kind if features, its really nice.

I don't use it a ton but I have some cheap LG model someone gave me as a gift, nothing remarkable about the earpiece itself... The car dock/speaker it comes with is pretty neat tho, it comes with a basic windshield cradle with two suction cups and it has photovoltaic cells on the outward facing side... So I drop the earpiece into that car speaker/solar charger and I never need to worry about charging it.
Kind of gimmicky since the batteries on these things last a while, but since I don't use it a lot and my car didn't have BT it's particularly convenient. I use a separate Kensington kit for BT music streaming in the car tho, the remote on that LiquidAux kit is something I haven't seen elsewhere.

I've been using the Motorola S10-HD headset for a few months now and like it a lot. The mics isn't as good as on a dedicated talk only headset like the jawbone (which I also own but always seem to misplace) but its durability and multi function use as a stereo headset when needed works perfect for my needs.
Far as the specifics you mention, I've been clear across my house and still had a great connection while listening to music. As far as function, it seems to do everything my jawbone does in terms of using the voice dialing and music player controls but I haven't figured out a way to send a text message via the headset, that would be handy.
Just ordered the jabra sport Bluetooth yesterday. Well update post when they arrive in a couple of days

How are the voice commands does the Bluetooth get what you are saying must of the time or do you have to repeat yourself?

I haven't tested the range too much. I left it in the backroom of my store and walked outside and it lost connection. Straight line distance at most 20 feet but lots of metal, electronics and concrete that could harm signal transmission

I have the Motorola finiti, which I love. It actually goes in the ear instead of the ones that have the big speaker that goes against the ear canal. Those require you to use the over the ear thingy, whereas this one doesn't because it goes in the canal. If you wear glasses, as I do, or don't want to wear the "thingy" all the time, I'd look at something like the finiti.
When it comes to voice dial, It's hit or miss, more often than not it fails to make the correct call or even one at all. I get a lot of "no result try again" or "calling John on mobile" when I clearly said something completely different like call Galaxy 1.

hey guy, don't be a noob.
"bluetooth" is just the radio technology being used so when you say which bluetooth we are using, it sounds really silly. What want to say is which bluetooth headset everyone is using.

Everybody that has read and responded to this thread knew exactly what was meant, as did you. Yes, it could have been worded differently, but there is no need for this post. Besides there's different Bluetooth devices, not just the headset, there's in car speaker, earpiece, headphones, even a car radio. So calling them all just plain Bluetooth is standard for most people and everyone understands it.
While we're correcting people your sentence should have been "What YOU want to say is: Which Bluetooth headset IS everyone using?"

I have a Plantronics Voyager Pro HD Headset that worked fine on my OG EVO.
I've experienced and tested a bit.
About a minute into a call, it drops the headset and jumps over to the phone, then comes back a minute or two later.
I've updated the firmware and repaired the headset just in case.
Anybody experienced a similar problem or have any ideas?
Edit: It 'may' be related to having wi-fi on at the same time. Still more experimenting.
I have this very same issue.
Those must be the free Wire Fly headsets

I wish the headset was free. It would irritate me less. As it is, it's a very expensive headset.

Either way, it's a problem with the phone, not the headset or WiFi signals. I have an iPhone that does not exhibit this issue, as well as a RAZR Maxx that does not exhibit this issue.

I looked and didn't see anything about this, so forgive me if it's been posted already.
I noticed, like a lot of people, the annoying humming that this phone makes when you listen to music (for me most apparent when I have it hooked to my car stereo) but I was listening to music with a portable speaker, speaker connected to my LAPTOP (not the phone), and I moved the phone close to where the 3.5mm plugs into the laptop, and I heard the same buzzing sound. 0__0 ... So I think the humming is coming from some one of the wireless radios.. not sure which one, but after a few seconds, it wouldn't hum anymore, which means the radio must have shut off...
Again, forgive me if this is already known information, but if it isn't ... this may help some people, maybe the GPS radio causes the noise?? or Wifi??

Yep found that out on day one. Switch to wi-fi or turn off data and all will be well. If you're streaming in the car, I barely notice it with the music turned up. Droid Charge didn't have this problem, but it also didn't have an amplified headphone jack. I had to turn my car radio up way higher than my iPod with that phone, not the case with this one.

You've got to be kidding me... That is nuts, and that buzzing drives me absolutely CRAZY! I noticed something that with my Beats over ears, every time I touched the screen the buzzing would start, couple seconds it would go away. I put the phone into airplane mode and presto, all the buzzing was gone! Verizon HAS to do something about this, it makes the headphone jack virtual unusable!
HTC Is Aware Now
So after getting my second device from Verizon with the same issue I was finally transfered over to HTC. After an hour conversation and then some back and forth emails HTC is now aware! Very exciting as this issue has been bugging me for a while. They have now replicated the issue and are going to begin work on a fix!
Email From HTC said:
Thank you for the information. Unfortunately, it did not take me long to test the issue and replicate it with my personal device. I use in-ear ear buds and will be forwarding this to our corporate office in the morning so that we may complete some additional testing on the team and hopefully find a permanent resolution. I appreciate you bringing this to my attention.

Anyone try a Ferrite Split Core? Not sure if it would help but if you have one sitting around it would be worth a try. Just wrap your audio cable through it a few times, worth a shot. Maybe two one at each end. See attached image.
I've run into this myself, however.....the humming does go away on it's own after a few seconds even when I'm downloading a large file over LTE....that tells me that while it still may be a hardware issue, they likely have filters in place that the software isn't triggering in a timely fashion. So it's possible it could be fixed in software.

If you're using expensive IEMs, why are you driving them with the built-in amp? You need to use an external amp and use a player like Neutron MP to line-out to it.

Thank you! I have considered picking up an external USB DAC. Can you confirm that the stock ROM will support it, and are there compatibility concerns with specific DACs? I'm not an audio engineer any more, so I can't justify spending much...

The E17 is a great USB DAC, if that's too expensive, the E7 is a good alternative. You can use an OTG cable and do USB audio, or line out using Neutron. :good:

I turn off sync when I listen to music and it does the trick. But I also keep sync turned off when I'm not on WiFi so its not really a big deal.

It's not the LTE radio causing it. LTE does not use TDMA (time division multiple access, as opposed to CDMA) as in traditional GSM. It uses a different form of signal transmission called OFDMA (orthogonal frequency division multiple access) which is continuous transmission like CDMA, which does not make speakers buzz. Most of the cause of this is the circuit being closely tuned with the flow of power in and out of the battery. If you plug in the phone to charge while using the headphone jack, it should be even louder and more apparent.
A quick fix for this is to put whatever you're using through a noise filter. This one is only $10 on amazon and is better for those listening through speakers rather than headphones. As for me, I don't really hear it much on my phone unless its plugged in, in which this little filter fixes the issue.

Coincidence? I've never gotten any buzz, and I'm always on 4G.
Not happening here on stock. I use headset for about 3 hours a day. Best sound yet and i'm a picky listener with only high quality headsets. My Bose OE2 would have picked up any noise.
a little off topic... I havent tried to replicate this on my DNA yet but my iPhone 5 and everyone iPhone I've had since '07 (I've had them all) have this buzzing noise in the car when I have them playing through the aux jack AND charging simultaneously. when I unplug the charger, noise is gone...
Hi all -- I have an issue that I wonder if anyone has come across -- when I'm at the gym, I tether my iPad to my Note II's WiFi tether. I've discovered that when I'm using my SB2 Jaybird Bluetooth wireless headphones with the iPad, they interfere with the WiFi tether connection and the speed of the connection drops dramatically to the point where I can't stream video (I've tested this -- when the Bluetooth headphones are off, there's no issue with the connection). I'm talking 30 megabits down, and the Bluetooth almost completely kills it. Has anyone encountered this? I've looked through both the Bluetooth and WiFi settings on both the phone and the iPad for some kind of "switching channels" option to see if I can get them to stop interfering with each other, but I can't find anything. I fear the only solution is to buy wired headphones, but I thought I would see if any of you better informed folks out there have any thoughts or possible solutions. Thanks so much in advance!
Update, did find the setting to change channel on wifi tether settings on the Note 2. Unfortunately, did not help as it would seem anything in the 2.4 spectrum is going to interfere with the bluetooth. Wired headphones, here I come...

I'm on Beans 13 and using the built-in tether. But I had the same problem with my GNex, no mater which WiFi app I used. I think it's clearly a Bluetooth/WiFi hardware interference issue, at least for me. If anyone out there is using a set of Bluetooth headphones and tethering a tablet or whatever to their phone at the same time with no data throughput issues with the tablet, I'd love to hear about it.
Running b13 as well and TrevE wifi, I have simultaneously used the wifi tether in my car for my pc while blue tooth was connected to my car for phone calls and haven't noticed any issues while browsing and in a call at the same time.
Although I haven't been doing anything that is data intensive like streaming missing if movies, in that situation. I never been in a situation where I'm using my blue tooth headphones while tethering though. I just thought I would share my experience.

Yeah, I have no issues with normal browsing, ore even streaming music. But the interference just kills streaming video. Would be curious next time you're all hooked up if you could stream hi-def video with no incident...
I attempted what I thought would be a comparable test. Blue tooth connected to car for audio streaming from Google music, wifi tether running to my laptop and tablet, youtube on the laptop and Netflix on the tablet. I ran a movie on Netflix for about 10mins, and the YouTube at 1080 (12min tips and tricks video for gn2 owners ) all while Google music was playing one of my favorites, ATLiens (an album not previously stored on my phone) and I had no problems. No skipping music from the blue tooth to the car, and no stutters or playback issues in the laptop or tablet from the tether.
Sorry I couldn't replicate your issue. I have never had to do so many things at once with my devices, it was fun.
Now that I think about it though when I used to rock my Rezzy. I took a road trip to VA and had my wife's ipad watching ABC go , her younger cousin streaming whatever she was watching in the back seat, blue tooth music playing in my car and maps with navigation running all at the same time without a hitch. But that is a completely different device. Just to say I never had a problem with tether and blue tooth in the past.

Wow, thanks for doing that so quickly. The only thing I can think of is either I'm some bizarro case, or the car Bluetooth connection is somehow different frequency-wise than the connection of my Jaybird Bluetooth headphones. I also tried my wife's Bluetooth headphones, which are made by a different company, and had the same problem. With wired headphones, I have zero issues. So weird.
Your probably right about the car being different.

Yeah, though it could also be this one type of Bluetooth headphones, since my wife's pair looks like exactly the same tech, even though it's a different company. I didn't consider that before, your test where Bluetooth clearly doesn't interfere in some instances led me to that, so thanks!
Apologies for resurrecting a dead thread but an iPad Air and alcatel pt-938 with mm450-x here with major interference trott to 0kb/s dead. Is wired really our only solution folks??
