I originally got my M2000 with BT 1.0.0.3500.
It worked OK with my Southwing headset but I heard that getting the upgrade to 1.6.0.600 would improve the sound quality.
I upgraded and there was very little improvement, if any.
I then noticed that the connection with my headset was very erratic.
The headset would connect ok and the m2000 would repond correctly to me pressing, double-pressing or tripple-pressing the control button on the headset. If I made a call from the handset it would be transferred to the headet. However, this would only happen for one call. Once I had made and terminated one call it would get kinda stuck and not reset itself so I could not use the headset properly. The only way I could fix this was to turn off the headset, do a reset on the m2000 and then switch on and reconnect the headset.
Finally got fed up and downgraded back to 1.0.0.3500 and it's all OK again.
Anyone else had similar problems ?
southwing and bluetooth
I just bought a southwing bluetooth headset and couldn't wait to get started. Little did I know that the pain was just about to start.
I am using an Orange SPV M2000 with the 1.12.22 WWE ROM and Radio version 1.04, build 2200 of bluetooth stack 1.00 build 2200. Not sure if this is the problem.
Anywaythe Southwing sounds fine when i use it but the volume that its sends to the other party is about 10 times to low and even when yelling I can't be heard well. Is this a known problem with either the Blue Angel phones or SouthWing headsets? Is it easy to upgrade to a newer bluetooth stack? Is this something I should do?
Sorry to reply to your question with another question but do you find the volume levels acceptable on your SouthWing?
I have had a lot of complaints from callers when I use my southwing including too quiet, static and background noise, voice cutting in and out, sounding like I'm in a tunnel etc.
Fortunately it has also fallen apart, i.e. the grey rubber eargrip bit keeps coming off the main body.
I bought mine at expansys so they said I could just send it back for a refund.
I have just bought a Cardo Scala 500 (also from expansys) which should arrive tomorrow.
It looks pretty cool and the reviews says the sound quality is excellent.
It also has an alternative to the round-the-ear grip which is a little stem that clips onto the arm of your glasses. Exellent for me as I wear specs.
I would seriously think about upgrading your ROM to 1.31.00 and then patching your BT Stack.
i have an xda 2s with 1.13 radio and latest btooth stack and 1.31xxx rom
hi - its my first post over here but like many others been visiting for a while
my question is...
What range do you get with your BT Headset and if you have it in your left pocket and the headset on your right ear - does it work ok
i have a jabra bt250v and it is crap (yehhh yehhh read the threads here after i bought it :x and crackle continuosly)
which headset works best and at what range / distance (ps the jabra doesnt get more than 2 feet! - is this an xda 2s issue)
thanks in advance
I'm sorry to inform u bro that ur bluetooth headset is well functioning,and there's no problem with it....It's the BA bluetooth hardware that sucks!!!!!
This issue(BA bluetooth hardware) was discussed in many forums(not only xda-developers),with no avail unfortunately...(HTC is busy developing new devices,and not giving a $h*t to older ones like BA)
so bro,look no further for a bluetooth headset....it's not the cause.....
RAGO :lol:
darn
my wifes k700i phone works upto 30 feet away through 2 brick walls too
i was going to buy another headset but may sell this for a treo 650
really need a reliable hands free pda/phone
i thought the bluetooth transmitter was poor - seems i was right
its wierd as my navman bluetooth works 15 feet away - what gives
how does this work so far away the the headset wont
:shock:
anymore views on headsets v distance
i really want to hang onto this xda 2s if possible
tell me your experience
cheers
My Motorola 820 works 2-3 metres away, but no more than that. Its good enough for use in my car, so I'm not to worried

Yes, me too, BT250 phone one side. headset the other and it is crap.
It was soooo disapointing as my 2 previous Jabras were super, my BT100 working 40 feet from the phone I had at the time.
WEASEL
do you get static with the headset if it isnt in line of view
i can literally hold my hand upto my ear while being 2 feet away and it loses the sugnal
how does the 820 compare
Firstly, a correction; I have a HBH-300, not a HBH-820 (that's what my wife has) - my mistake
With the HBH-300, I get little or no static, but can have problems if the headset is not near line of sight e.g. if my phone is in my trouser pocket, I sometimes get disconnected. Whenin my car, I don't have a problem irrespective of which ear I use the headset in
Me too.... doesn't know abt this after i bought Moto H700, at 1st i thou sometime wrong with the earpiece, but nw i know is xda2s...really disapointed !!
what about this one does it enhance the bt
http://www.mobilephonecrazy.com/modeldetail/xda-IIs,Signal_booster.htm
I have the BT800 and so far my experience with it is pretty negative.
Other than the fact that it just doesn't sit will on my ear, all the people that I have phone conversations with tell me that my voice keeps cutting off every couple of seconds. They have a hard time understanding what I'm saying.
Anybody else have this behaviour? Which BT headset do you guys recommend?
I am also looking for recommendations for a new BT headset, but let me also contribute with what I had (lost it now).
I had the Bluespoon AX. It was by far the most comfortable thing I have ever put in my ear. It is so small and light and comfortable, that you almost forget it is in there, and at the end of the day, you find it in your ear by accident sometimes.
That said, when I lost it I did not shed a tear. Using it with Universal was quite painful. The sound would crackle if the AX and the Universal were on different sides of my body. Not a distance issue, but somehow an interference from my body in between.
The AX is useless in any environment there is noise and/or wind. I suppose they could not use a directional mic because the mic is so far away from your mouth (practically *in* your ear). It worked fine when I was sitting in a quiet place though, but then...
With the Universal, only the handsfree profile is available. While this worked fine for outgoing calls (can make voice dial calls and all), for some reason on incoming calls, when the AX is active, Universal would not ring. The only call indicator is on the AX and if you don't happen to be wearing it at the time, you will miss the call.
I have been reading up on other models. The AX2 apparently has better reception, but I am not sure about noise and the BT software problems.
The digital model has noise cancelling, but it is way too expensive to buy it on faith alone.

Same problem with my Motorola H500... anyone any ideas how to avoid this apart from buying another model
I have HBH 662 (Sony Erricson). Its very tiny, formerly it did not fit easily in my ear, but now I used to it, though I do not like to have it on all day long. The sound quality is too low/not loud enough though I set to the highest volume already. The battery life is not good, it barely survives my every day calls, I'm not a super call person, just average.
Things that really annoying:
- The Caller ID display is too small to read and it only shows the first half of the caller's number then scroll the remaining digits.
IT DOES NOT show the caller's name. Have been patiently enough to wait for this to be fixed by MS/imate/other vendor whatsoever. If anybody has a workaround, PLS.. PLS... PLS... share....
- The ringer is very low and intended to tell you there is a call if you have it on your ear. Does not have a vibrate function. If the Universal is in silent mode, most likely I cannot tell when there is an incoming call.

Bt Headsets
I am using the Bluestreak G2 headset which seems to work O.K. and Has About 8 hours of use. Background noise is acceptable but it doesn't seem to do noise cancellation.
Have noticed that if WIFI is active with BT the headset drops out a little. Seems O.K. If Wifi is off & BT is on. Not ideal if you want to use Skype with BT.
Have tried the following with my Exec:
- Tekkeon ET3000 (with display like the BT800 but better), great battery life, good volume, okay quality sound, okay comfort, no problem with call transfers from the Exec
- SE HBH-608, fantastic battery life, very comfortable, good quality sound, very comfortable, okay volume (seems limted by the Exec)
- Jabra BT800, okay battery life, okay comfort, good sound quality, okay volume, seems a bit slow transferring calls between the headset and the Exec
Have you tried putting the names/numbers also on the SIM Card?! I read somewhere that headset profile is using the SIM Card's phonebook...

No, it does not work either, even though the contact name is saved in the SIM card. Have been searching for workaround/solution but have not found any good answer yet.
globalsat
I have the Globalsat gps338 ,and it works very well ,use with gpstuner ,and teletype gps software which is slow to update on the Mda pro but the bluetooth gps pair well with the program and with 9 satellites showing indoor .Any Sirf III chipset will be ok.The only thing that does not work in the universal is the gpsinfo program that comes with the gps338.
Anyone with the gps338 ? works well with mapapolis too.

You mean the Jabra?
Update the Firmware - there's a patch available on Jabra.com - I did thsi recently and it's a big improvement. Even my wife can hear me properly now.
(not sure if that's a good thing or not to be honest.....)

what, like carrying the phone on the same side of your body as the headset??
(Like it says to do in the instructions... )
Thx Riceburner!
figures! I've been checking the Jabra site for an update repeatedly but of course as luck will have it, as soon as I stopped looking...there it is.
I will update my BT800 tonight and see what happens. Tell me, did you have the same problems? Voice kept cutting off? All around bad performance from this headset?
thx.
motorola H700, great audio, great look, light and good batteries and......................same mini USB charger
Well...no improvements.
I updated the firmware on my Jabra BT800 and although I noticed an improvement in the time it takes to transfer the call to the headset, I still have the same problem with my voice cutting off.
I tested it repeatedly by making more than one phone call and the result was always the same. While I'm speaking, the person on the other end says that my voice keeps cutting off. Therefore beginning or end of words are totally cut off. Very frustrating to have a conversation when the person on the other end keeps saying "what?".
If nobody else is having this problem with the BT800 and the Universal, then I guess I got stuck with a faulty headset?
i have the hbh 662 sony. not impressed with it to be honest. unless i am less than 1/2 metre from it, the quality of the line deteriorates alarmingly. I was hoping to be able to stick it on the kitchen table and then walk around having a phone call. I can't do this.
Also had ideas for having the universal in my pocket, and using the headset almost as a standalone phone. This doesn't work that well either. tried the headset with a orange c500 , and it was so much better.
also upgraded to the latest radio update (1.04.02). this didnt do anything for the quality of the line either.
is it the universal or the sh1te ms bluetooth stack? how does the jabra bt 800 compare?
(i have the orange m5000 with a qtek rom)

Plantronics
Hi
I have Plantronics and I'm happy about this 8 grams headset.
Ciao[/b]
hi everybody.I want to buy a headset for my mda pro with qtek rom(radio 1.13).
I'd like to spent about 50 euros.Any suggest?
nobody can help me?
Bought an Omnia a few days ago. Actually bought 2, but first one returned cause I thought it was defective.
Problem happens when I try to use my BT headphone. No problem in pairing, but as soon as I initiate (or receive) a call, I get an awfull noise (or buzz if you like) strong enough that it makes the headphone unuseable. As I said I had the same problem with both Omnias. I had this headphone (Nokia BH-101) for many months now and never had any problem.
I tried on 2 PDA and one smartphone without problem, so it kinds of rule out a headphone defect. Hard for me to believe both phones are defective on arrival, and showing the same problem on top of that, so also seems to rule out a phone problem. Incompatible???
Anybody ever had this kind of problem on an Omnia phone or any combination of phone/headphone?
Thanks for any helpful hint.
It might help if you posted which bluetooth headphone, but yes, I've seen cases in which a particular headset and phone were just incompatible.
I did put the model in my original post, but here it is again for quick identification: Nokia BH-101.
If anybody have this pairing (Omnia and Nokia BH-101), please let me know the result, good or bad!!!
Thanks
sounds familiar
I recentlyy bought a Jawbone 2 and i get a really loud buzzing intermitently when using it with my Mogul running nuerom titan build .Ive exchanged the headset and still have the issue but my otherr 2 bt earpieces work fine. Any help would be awesome Thanks.
i have recently upgraded to the htc one x, great phone, overall, im quite happy with it , i had a Jabra Bluetooth headset connected to it & it worked fine, until about a week ago, i thought the Jabra had just had its day so bought another Jabra earpiece, the problem is at my end i can hear the calls clearly with no interference but the person on the other end can hardly make me out , my wife says its as though someone's hitting a tin while she's talking to me , I'm hoping someone can help me clear this up as I'm a taxi driver & need my Bluetooth !, i have tried both earpieces on my wife's blackberry & my old Acer liquid metal & they work fine, so just wondering if anyone has a fix or had the same problem, i like the HOX but I'm disappointed with the Bluetooth carry on tbh , looks like it will end up on ebay if i cant sort this
