Hi all,
I just bought myself the English version of the HUWAEI 10 mate Pro and in general I am in love with the phone.
The English version comes with a single SIM and does NOT come with the screen protector or the rubber case with it.
It DOES come with a 3.5mm headphone jack convertor though which is nice.
I'm not going to review the phone because there are already plenty but I am going to talk about the speakers.
In general I was slightly disappointed with them. They are literally the only weakness the phone has. Everything else is quite literally phenomenal.
The top speaker is very tinny with distortion and the bottom speaker is decent but also has distortion.
Suffice to say I wanted to improve them.
Anyway, I tried a few equalisers from the play store and can safely say they do improve the sound alot, albeit at the expense of some volume. This doesn't really matter though because the speakers are loud enough.
I used an app called base booster and turned the bass boost to 50% and used the 'more basses' preset. The sound is now very very decent, but I still would expect a bit more.
Does anyone else have any recommendations as to what they do to improve the sound. My experience is it is not very good out the box, but can be made much better.
To anyone else thinking of buying this phone, do it. It's a great price that rivals any top phone and the screen is absolutely stunning. Not just stunning for the price but truly truly stunning.

I bought mine as an EE upgrade from Carphone Warehouse and it did come with the screen protector on and the rubber case (Though I found I much preferred a Spigen case). Still single sim, though I see the dual sim trays are available on ebay and I gather it can be rebranded as a dual sim in firmware

Can't help on that at the moment, but I'll try that app and maybe try some fiddling to see what else is available. I could do with a little extra volume myself, but mostly listen to audiobooks/podcasts/youtube, so bass is probably not as important.

Agree with that! came from a One Plus One and I'm very happy (Though I REALLY miss double tap to wake, I'm gradually learning to love the rear fingerprint sensor). The main bonus for me is the battery life - 6 hours of SOT consistently even with heavy usage and no longer having to worry about where the nearest charger is. Not sure I will ever be able to go back to a smaller battery now, however good the optimisation.

Did yours also come with the 3.5mm jack convertor gonzo?
I assumed since I didn't get the protective covers that the UK version got the 3.5mm convertor instead.
I got the phone for £30 cheaper than current retail price so I'm not too worried, but it's annoying if they should have been in the box.

Yes, I got the 3.5mm converter as well - guess I was lucky - though you had me worrying and double checking that the protector was actually on there
Mine was the BLA-009 Single Sim variant - I believe Vodafone are selling a different version, but every unboxing I've seen online seems to come with the case and protector.
Ok.
Well they must have just forgotten to put mine in the box.

Nope the Vodafone version is the same model
the screen protector is already on the phone and the case in the bottom where the manuals are, if you got neither of these then take it back and get replacement. Was the box actually open when you got it?
i used the case that came with the phone for a few days until my replacement arrived. i got the huawei smartcase for it, which lets you see incoming calls, alarms, time, step counter down the side of the screen (u can answer/end calls or disable the alarms without opening the case.
Audio not really seen an issue, but have bad hearing anyway, overall very happy with the phone and using emui compared to my usual launcher which is nova
I'm in the UK and got all the cables, the screen protector was already on the device and I also got the gel case. If yours didn't include these then take it back and get a replacement as either they forgot to put it in your box or something else is going on.

Hello everyone
I got my Wing couple weeks ago, but I just got to testing the headset/earbuds that came with it. Anyways, when I opened them, it looks like one string of an earbud is shorter then the other. So the middle piece with volume control on it is not centered in the middle, which is very uncomfortable. I didn't find any way to adjust it. Anyone else has the same problem, or am I on the only one with "faulty" earbuds? Please respond. I purchased online through Business Services on a current deal. If I take it to T-Mobile store, will they replace? Thanks a lot.
It really is a crappy design flaw but thats the way they come. With the weight of the volume control on one side of the headphones, that side tends to fall out of my ear. Really sorry design on they're part.
I'd say go with the bluetooth stereo headsets. The sound quality is better and you dont have to worry about the faulty wires being in the way. I invested in one the other day and come to find out other than listening to music, they also pick up calls. You can find good deals on ebay.

There's also a few diferent types to choose from. Just do a search for Bluetooth Stereo Headsets and you'll see.
You do realize most headphones are like this now, just grab a set of ipod headphones and you'll know what I mean.

Can you just give us the model number? Or possibly a valid item# for the once you like? Link is not working (item removed). Thanks...
The model number is BCK-08. they have a bunch of 'em listed
Ummmm, it's not a defect!
Guys you do realize that there is a perfectly logical reason for this right??? Well, since you don't...LOL... Well, it's because the short side goes into one ear, and the other wraps around the back of you neck, so that they fit comfortably... The ear buds are labled, just follow the instructions above and everything should come together for you... They're not defective guys...
Yeah, thanks! Weird!
i agree... its done purpose fully.. not a defect
I still think it's a bad design because the side with the mic always gets knocked out of my ear or the mic gets caught on something, zipper, collar, button. I'm left-handed, so at least with symmetrical buds I don't have to be reminded that it's a right-handed world.
Be careful with bluetooth, the wing isn't really designed as a music player, even though it can do it. I got some bluetooth headphones made by insignia that work flawlessly with my partner's Samsung Upstage, but have this crackle with my Wing, only when playing music, and no, the sound files are fine, it's the wing's bluetooth connection that's messed up.
Have you tweaked the bluetooth stack (the bitrate and such) for better quality?
Alright so I had a pair of motorola s9s for about 3 weeks before sweating on them at the gym broke them.
Does anyone know of any decent bluetooth headphones that are reliable (battery doesn'd die after a month etc. etc.) that work well with the G1?
I have the first generation Motorola bluetooth stereo headphones, the HT820. I originally purchased them back in 2007 to use with my t-mobile MDA (HTC Wizard), and they worked well then and they continue to work now. They are much bigger than anything Motorola has out now, but they do work. I currently have Cyanogen's ROM on my G1 and they did work with the original cupcake ROM from T-Mobile. These headphones also have a built in mic so you can take phone calls.
Hope this helps.
I recently purchased the Samsung SBH500 headphones. I have only had them for a few weeks so I cannot tell you long term reliability but I have really enjoyed using them. I have taken them on a run a few times and have had no trouble yet. I have read a few reviews of people complaining that they are unconfortable and ears get hot when working out with them. I have not experienced either. I have found these more comfortable than other around-the-neck sets. The ear padding is a little thick but it sort of muffles the ambient noise. I have found the audio quality for music and calls both outstanding. I would recommend these if you were looking for over the ear headphones.
You should try contacting Motorola about your s9s. When researching BT headphones, I seem to remember reading that Motorola knows that this is an issue. Perhaps they will swap these out for you. Good Luck!
S9-HD
I thought the S9's are supposed to be sweat resistant. I have a S9-HD and they seem to be holding up fine. I've been using them on runs and bike rides for a couple months now. I do admit though that not much sweat gets to them cuz most of my sweat evaporates as I run. When I stop moving, I start pouring sweat, which is when the headphones get hit the hardest. They're still working great.
I haven't tried the jaybird bluetooth headphones. They're supposedly water and sweat resistant. They sound like they're the bomb. I'm tempted to get a set. Here's a link for more info:
http://www.jaybirdgear.com/bluetooth-stereo-headphones-features.php
Hey guys thanks for all the replies!
I actually just ordered a pair of samsung sbh170's (if i remember correctly) they didn't have to many complaints besides being to small.
If they don't work i will definetly be checking out the sbh500's they look really nice, and i might get a pair for non gym use too. ( I never knew internet radio at work could be so addictive.)
I checked out the jaybirds before i bought the samsungs that should be coming in a couple days. They had mixed reviews on amazon, just like the s9's, and cost around $100-$120 so i think i'm gonna keep my distance from those, I'm a college student lol.
As for the s9's I didn't have the HD's, I had the older versions, which were apparently less sweat resistant than the new ones. I took them appart and it looks like the main circuit board got covered in sweat (there is discoloration).
I had initially thought it was the battery, but that would be hard to replace. The battery in them is a no name most likely chinese peice of crap, if anyone else is having a problem with the battery you may be able to retrofit a rechargable AAA batery in ( i played around with a voltmeter and the old battery appeared to be 1.5V's) but that would take a little bit of time and patients, I only paid 30 bucks for them, and used them pretty consistently for a month (pretty much every day at the gym too.)
If I had paid $100 at best buy then I would be more upset. I really liked the form factor on them and they were really nice to use at the gym, which is what upset me most about them breaking, its hard going back to wired headphones lol
I've broken two sets, 1 LG and the other I think was a Jabra set. They had both broken around the earpiece in almost the same place because of the plastic they used. While I didnt have any other issues with them, they only lasted about 3 or 4 weeks each.
I went with the s9's for the firm form also... I just made sure to wipe my head and the headset every so often and completely take them off when im cooling down. I will be implementing some fancy vinyl aka electrical tape on them soon to help from getting sepage into the control panels.
The sbh170's look good cause they are more flexible but the 500's look to be almost the same design of the two sets that I had. If I can find the LG set i'll snap a pic and show you what I mean.
i got the sony dr-bt101 headphones about a month ago and they work great. the only thing is they're a little big and over the ear not behind the neck..

For anyone wanting a cheap set I recommend the Insignia NS-BTHDP.

I got these almost a year ago and take them to the gym and snowboarding regularly so they have been dropped, smashed and covered in snow a lot. I picked mine up off of ebay with $10 winning bid (shipped). They aren't fancy but have survived well for being so cheap.
These are on their way to me. I'll let you all know what I think of them.

You guys would use those headphones while working out? Do they stay in place while jogging? Are they sweat resistant? Just from the looks of them, they are too bulky for me (at least while working out).

My s9's died yesterday... I mean DIED, they wont chrage no matter what
As much as I hate to go back to wired devices I really like the options the ones you picked up give. Small and simple with good support (body wide clip).
So please post when you can
I Have a question for you guys. I want a headset that I can listen to music with while wearing it on only one ear, so not headphones but a headset that has the A2DP and AVRCP. IF you guys know about one let me know because that way I can listen to music at work and look like im actually working hard.
http://www.jaybirdgear.com/bluetooth-stereo-headphones-features.php I have these but the audio goes in and out on my G1 and even worst on my laptop.
Get the Plantronics 855. The second earpiece is removable, and without it looks just like the HFP-only 815 but still plays at A2DP quality.

OK so they showed up today. I have them charging at work and will give them a go when I run tonight. I'll post results either tonight or tomorrow morning.
update: Well I can't get them to pair. They paired up fine with my nokia N95, but android is having trouble. If I could get it to let me enter the passcode 0000 manually, I am sure it would work. Any ideas?
update2: OK so I got them paired, finally, but they dont seem to be working. I got them connected but theres no sound coming through them. They do work well with my n95 however so that's even more frustrating. Sound quality is OK, but I am going to try and return them. Any questions before I do?
i sweat a whole lot and have yet to find any wireless that can stand up to the abuse. i bought the adapter from HTC that includes a mic and 3.5 adapter. 10 bucks from t mobile.
while it still has wires it hasnt fallen victim to the sweat. FML in Alabama during the summer.
Hi,
Am I the only one here who always struggles to find a good way to store my headphones? I usually wrap them around themselves, but this normally leads to kinks in the cables and a mass of knots
I just spotted something called "Cable Turtles". I can't believe how simple they are, or more importantly, that I have never seen them before!!
I have just ordered a small black one from here
When it arrives I will post my thoughts on it.
Cheers
Zippyioa
Boy, those looks brilliant indeed. Will order one, I too have had some problems with where to store the cable. I hate wrapping
Bloomin' Royal Mail strikes have delayed the delivery of this fine product.
As soon as it arrives I will post my views for anyone who is interested!
Cheers

Hi B&B,
They did arrive in the end (thanks Royal Mail!).
Overall I love them, however I think that the small ones, despite being listed as "for headphones" are too small. They hold the cable fine, but they are not large enough to encase the whole headphone (see picture)
If I ordered again I would probably go for the medium size to be honest.
Cheers
Zippyioa
whatever happened to those things that your earphones came in that you wind up
this is back in the walkman days like 1997
pretty much all earphones used to come sold with one of those things

Poor little thing is probably beat up and frozen in a snow pile somewhere by now . I left it clipped to my pocket but unfortunately it must have worked it's way out! So, I am looking for a replacement.
As much as I loved the little guy, perhaps there are other good models out there worth hearing about. I am pretty much looking for something similar with good quality, the one minor gripe I had with the thing was the touch volume control.
So what do you guys suggest? Buy another MW600 or go for something else?
MW 600 is the best...
Well, certainly not much of a discussion I had hoped for
Oh well, I suppose I shall go for another. It's hard to live without it now!
Try jabra(im using and also satisfied)
Sent from my X10i using Tapatalk
try a hbh-ds980. it's older than the mw600, but it hangs around your neck and lets you access your phonebook and recent calls list remotely. it also doesn't have that touch sensitive volume bar in the mw600. some disadvantages to it are it isn't able to swap headphones, doesn't have FM radio, and a 3x shorter battery life.
as stated above, mw600 is best.
if you're ok with headphones instead of earphones, better sound quality, better comfort, better battery life, then definitely check out the sony dr-bt50.
Try Jabra BT3030, which I currently use. Also my longest-used stereo bluetooth. Came from HBH-DS970(its lanyard gets easily cluttered with the earpiece wires; wires creep-out their sleeves; noticeable battery degrade after a year) and HBH-DS205(labeled having 8-hour playback life but noticed has shorter battery life than that of HBH-DS970; nasty/disturbing streaming disruption).
What really made me turn away from SE bluetooth is that they use their propriety connector; in this case, two slim contacts that may cause charging trouble once there's dirt and carbon buildup.
Jabra BT3030 comes with a labeled 8-hour playback/calls ops life(within 7-8 on my experience, since acquisition until now, almost 2 years), two wearing options(clip or lanyard), exchangeable earsets(use Shure IEM with them), rugged design(practically swear-proof with the rubber trimming and all), full function controls and miniUSB charging slot.
Three cons I can say about it are the lack of indicator screen(maybe to compensate battery life), the volume control is independent(doesn't control the actual phone's media volume; it controls the bluetooth receiver's audio level for both calls and audio streaming) and lastly the quite annoying led indicator which is constantly blinking(which I got used to already. To those who can relate, I looked like a weakened Ultraman while wearing it, hahah!).
For me, this is the best bet for an all-around stereo bluetooth receiver until now. Unless, there's already a similarly-spec'ed one with microUSB charging slot instead. That will be great.
the mw600 uses a microUSB... just fyi. i don't think SE will be using their old proprietary headset connector anymore ever since the bill passed where all manufacturers are adopting the microUSB port as the industry standard to reduce the amount of old phone chargers and cigarette lighter adapters being thrown away.
I would just say get a new one
I got my MW600 after a lot of googling for something better, and really it's a hard little gadget to beat in my opinion not to mention it was pretty cheap when i got mine (like 25 pounds or so)
it's sad that yours is lying dead in the cold somewhere :/ poor thing xD
indeed the only annoyance is the volume control, but yea, it's such a tiny little awesome piece of gear, i overlook that little inperfection
though i did just do a search on that jabra3030 thing, and that also looks promising, though i don't see the OLED screen and such (the Mw600 has that, and the same or better battery life)
I guess it comes down to what kind of durability you want, that jabra one looks indestructable
Why don't you have a look at IS800. Its very light and got great battery life. The issue I see is that it does not have Track Controls.

try DRC-BT30 by sony (not sony ericsson).. it looks better, and it is designed better even though it does not have a screen =]

Hey guys, thanks for the replies
Some of these are pretty cool, but one thing I realized I loved about the MW600 is that it could go all day at work & home and then charge at night, which is fantastic, so it's tough to match in that respect.
The Jabra BT3030 looks promising, but I can't find any Canadian resellers that seem to have it, so I'm not too sure.
I think I'm most likely going to start checking out some headphones like azian_advanced mentioned. Other than that, I guess some of the looking around has made me appreciate the MW600 for what it does do well.
ill sell you mine for $25. only catch is that the clip is broken.
anyone know if that can be fixed?
I'm using Jabra Clipper and I'm really happy with it. Sound quality is great. Works even better with doubleTwist player.

This is what I like about these forums. Much thanks for the heads up! Thinking of having MW600 myself.
Went back from custom Froyo roms to 2.1 (kX10 R2B001 by kxhawkins) due to few bluetooth connectivity bugs that are still present in these versions but quite looking forward for further update from the devs.

Good one, actually curiosity made me crank mine open with a flat screwdriver. It took me some time and bit of struggle; the two halves of the casing are only glued to each other. No screws involved. One compact pcb and one slab of battery lies inside. Re-glued it back together and what all I can say is that it's definitely sweat-proof.
I found this thread on google when researching the MW600. After exploring the alternatives I've just ordered the Samsung HS3000. It has the requisite 3.5mm headphone jack like the others in this thread. Says it has Bluetooth 3 with APT-X which offers supoort of lossless codecs if your bluetooth source can do it. I'll give a quick review after I recieve it.
Buy sony live headset. I own a mw600

I'm officially in love with the MW600.

Have you received the HS3000 yet? I'm thinking about ordering that one.

Yes, and I love it. Haven't tried with APT-X yet because I don't yet have a source that will do it. But even with standard A2DP it's great.
I'm planning on getting the Creative BT-D1 and the Senn BTD300 as APT-X transmitters.
Anyone seen these available anywhere? My Nexus is 21 days old and the speaker grill fell off somewhere, searched and searched and can't find it. I purchased directly from T-Mobile and they said nothing they can do as I am outside the buyers remorse period and suggested calling Motorola, which I did, they will exchange the phone but I have to send mine in, wait for it to be inspected then they will send a replacement. Seems like a lot for what must be a couple dollar part.
I did find one for the moto x, $5 and $20 shipping from etradesupply but doesn't look the same and that's a hefty shipping for a $5 part.
I'm in the same boat. Hoping a way to buy that part shows up.
Just noticed mine is coming loose too...only a matter of time I guess..got insurance thru tmo tho but still..kinda ****ty
Still no luck, guessing not much we can do about it. If you guys come across them please post back. Makes the phone ugly with it missing and I work in construction, somehow I think it will allow more dust and debris into the phone.

Just an update,. Motorola sent me a replacement phone because of the speaker grill, even allowed me to change to the cloud white one. New one however has it's own set of issues such as qi charging doesn't work, people complained I sounded like I was under water and lastly, the vibration from touching the screen would make a loud rattling noise... it's on it's way back to Motorola. Hoping the next one works correctly.

Nah, not really.... Just normal luck for me when dealing with stuff like this lol.
Another update, while it's been time consuming, Motorola finally sent me a fully functioning phone. Speaker covers are both firmly attached and qi charging works, no odd noises with vibrating or anything. Loaded up the same ROM on both phones and the new one reboots, completely loads everything up a good 5 seconds faster than the old one. I even held them both in my hands and simultaneously rebooted them because just in general use the new one was noticeably quicker.
Motorola did accidentally charge my card tho, they were supposed to just put a hold on it while they waited for me to ship the original back so they offered me a free set of the new moto surround BT headsets as compensation for my troubles, without me asking for a thing, pretty good customer service IMO.
Anyways, all said and done I am happy with how they handled it and have no issues recommending Motorola products to anyone considering them, with the new moto x pure coming out, I'll probably pick one up now over the oneplus 2 for the simple reason of having faith in the customer service they offer.
