Hi all,
I swapped my old O2 G2 BT headset for the new O2 one and have to say I noticed little improvement. I even upgraded to the 3900 build of the stack but no difference. However I then gotta thinking....
By default the profile being used was hands-free, but I seemed to remember the XDA2 using only headset. So - I found that by holding the -vol button for 15 secs I could register it as a headset profile (the XDA2s cannot use any of the hands-free bits anyway - voicedial etc etc).
Well, the audio quality is improved and the range appears to be better. It is still not perfect (or as good as it was on the XDA2) but it is now useable.
I am going to test for the week before I decide if I shall get a refund or not.
Cheers - Rich
Hi Rakh!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
the -vol button on the side?
When did you do that? - it doesn't seem to do anything on mine??
Thanks

Hi, yes the -vol button on the side. Switch it off (red light) wait 5 secs and then hold the -vol button for 15 (yes fifteen) seconds!

Hi,
Nope - still doesn't seem to do anything on mine. Either i'm doing something wrong or it only works on the xdaIIs and not the M2000 (they are suposed to be the same hardware but it might be a software thing).
Thanks anyway,

-vol button on the side of the O2 BT headset - not the XDA2s
Sorry for the confusion but I didn;t figure out what you were doing unitl now
Rich
Ahhhhh - doh!
Thanks for clearing that up.
I have a Jabra BT250 - and yes I was using the vol- on the phone

Jabra phones default to the headset program. Holding in the +Volume button on the headset while setting up for pairing turns on the optional Hands-free profile. This is just hte opposite of what the original post was about. The original poster had a G2 headset which defaults to Hands-free, but can be forced to Headset Profile.
Hi,
So what's the difference between headset and hands free?
--ian
Hands-free enables support for voice dialling etc etc etc. Headset simply allows you to use the mic and earpiece of the headset. I presume that the added functionality of the hands-free protocols take some of the 'bandwidth' from the voice part of the protocol and as a result exagerate the bad sound quality...???

Jabra headset
Hi to everyone!
I'm a Jabra user myself but I can't seem to enjoy the last number called redial feature with my XDA2 device (with ROM by Dr. Stein).
Any suggestions on how I can use this feature?
Thank you very much!
i have a motorola HS850.
it defaults to handsfree
anyone knows how to force it to headset?
it used to work such that when I open the boom on an incoming call, the call will automatically be answered.
now it doesnt work that way..
it just waits for either the bluetooth action button or the green answer button on xda iis to be pressed..
i have downgraded by BT [ recently upgraded to 3900 ] back to 3500 and the Motorola HS850 can auto answer whenever the boom is opened..
Guess 3900 is not perfect anymore
My HS850 works fine with BT 3900
Perfectly clear. Not tried switching handsfree to headset tho.
jabra bt 250
i m using a JAbra bt 250 and a qtek 9090..i tried the setting...but dont kno if it worked...in my shortcuts..it says hands-free connction to jabra..but i want it to be headset...coz thers too much of crackling right now..?
I've been using the included wired stereo headset included in the package of the PDA2K and I think I found a problem. There is a single button on the headset, and using it I can pick up the call. But when I try to press it to hang up, it doesn't work! Does anyone else have the same problem?

Hi!
I have i mate JasJar, but there are some problems which are a bit annoying and I will ask you if you can help
Does anybody have problems using BT Jabra 500 working with Jasjar?
I cant hear any of my incoming/outgoing calls nor can I hear a ringing in BT.
Jasjar discover BT and pairing is OK ( just in case I did couple times -no luck)
when I use answer/end button on BT is dialing out but no sound on BT
on other side that I call they can hear my voice but I can't hear anything
Do I need any software to instal in jasjar ???
ROM version 1.13.53 WWE
ROM date 09\23\05
Radio version 1.03.01
Protocol version 42.36.P8
ExRom version 1.13.137 WWE
Please help me out
Thanx
I have BT 500 and have no problems, it sounds like the headset has a problem not the phone.
Also have my own and a client's Jabra 500 working successfully with o2 Xda Execs.
Stupid question I know, but you have tried increasing the volume on the headset buttons?
I did try everything , volume etc , contact jabra and try there sugestion
such as :
could be a pairing issue, or a bad speaker on the BT500. Please try a reset and re-pair of the phone and headset first:
Turn the headset off.
Plug the headset charging cord into a wall outlet.
Connect the headset to the charging cord for 5 seconds.
Disconnect the headset.
Remove the headset from the phone Bluetooth menu.
Turn the phone off.
Remove the battery (and sim card, if removable), and hold out for 5 seconds.
Re-install the battery (and sim card, if applicable) and turn the phone on, but do not touch any settings.
Turn the headset on.
Put the headset into pairing mode by pressing and holding the pairing button until you see a steady blue light. Release the button.
Perform the pairing procedure for the phone.
SIMPLY IS NOT WORKING
try with friend V3 razor and same thing
I also have the BT 500 + jasjar
It just works better than the BT 250 which was my past one.
To be honest, what I have on my jasjar is the new O2 rom upgrade (and that should not do any difference) I think there is something wrong with your jasjar
Maybe you will be forced to try the bad solution HARDREST try the headset with other phones before doing that
i beleive it's the headset that has the problem, since you tried it with another phone.
i have the bt500 with the imate jasjar and also the kjam and it's more than perfect for me, the sound is cristal clear on all the phones i tried on.
maybe you should replace it with a new one.
What I mean is not a factory mistake in the headset
I think the phoen is getting complex and some data have been lost (possible)
By the way, I haven't installed the BT headset fix, yet it works fine.
