How do I upgrade my 8125 so that I can use my windows media player to play my songs over my motorola S9 stereo bluetooth headphones. I already have the upgraded ROM. I only hear my phone calls in my right ear...mono!
i think this is a problem with bluetooth.
you can use a headphone as stereo headphone or
as a headset
Headphone=stereo
headset =mono
because the specrum of bluetooth is to small for 3 cannels (the microphone is a channel, too)
Umm, yeah
Last I checked, Motorola S9 headsets only give audio for phone calls through one earphone, so it's not a problem with your bluetooth. I think it mentions it in the manual. That's just the way motorola designed the headset. So you'll get music though both ears, and phone calls through one ear. Trust me though, I tried another headset that gave phone calls and music through both ears, and hearing my mom's voice on blast in both of my ears wasn't cool....
I am doing some nice commute at the moment (170 mile round trip) every other day and have loaded some podcasts onto my nice Touch HD phone. At the moment I have one 3.5mm jacked headphone bud in one ear to the listen to them with the bluetooth earpiece in the other for the phonecalls I get.
The HD will stop the music when a call comes in on the headphone side but I would like to get a BT solution to listen to the podcasts and still answer the phone and talk without having wires everywhere!
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Looks like I am being a div! I couldn't see anything on the SD9 site which mentioned a microphone!
So, any recommendations for bluetooth headsets!!
Regards
Most bluetooth "stereo" headset can function with both headset probile and music profile.
I myself is using iTech Clip Radio. I have it connected using music profile for listening to stereo music most of the time. When call comes in, it will switch to headset mode automatically and ring in the earpieces. You can answer call by pressing a button on the clip.
The good thing about this and why it is popular because its earpieces can be disconnect from the clip. You can replace it with any 3.5mm standard earpiece. The mic is built-in to the clip.
The bad, it is not completely wire-less as Motorola HS820. You still need wire from the clip to the earpiece. The included earpiece has shorter cable, but still annoying sometimes.
Not sure if it is availble in your region. iTech bluetooth stereo headset is very popular in South East Asia region.
I've recently got a Tritton AX BlueStream:

It's similar to the iTech clip in functionality, but the main reason I went for it is that it charges over mini-USB so you only need to carry one charger cable...
It's also £20 off here: http://www.cooleststuff.co.uk/WsProduct.asp?sessid=160913654720&CWDCSID=3770&BPID=4602
BT STEREO is GREAT .. but newer ROMs lock it to WMP
I have the i-tech r35 clip and love it. What is nice is that is has PREV Play/Spot and REV D-pad. With Tcpmp these can be programed. I don't go backwards so I set the "prev" key to skip 10 seconds... that way I can speed through the commercials and anouncements of the podcasts.
Unfortunately since I flashed a newer ROM, anythime I press any button on the CLIP the Audiomanager is launched. I want to use COREplayer. Anyone know how to disable AudioManager form automatically coming up? Thanks!!
I propose You the set Bluetooth sony ericsson DS-220. You have the possibility of connecting to him any receivers. The very good solution.
Try Motorola HT820. I use it on my Wizard and have't noticed any problem.
I use the sony DRBT21G. they include a built in battery have a microphone. links very well with windows mobile with a audio players and with the phone software. it rings through the headphones also. they are extremely comfortable. tbh I think they are a perfect solution. my favourite gadget when it comes to my diamond. well apart from the diamond itself.

Jaybird JB-200
I just posted this http://www.jaybirdgear.com/ in another thread and same as I said there just havent been able to suck up and lay out the cash yet. However, just about every review of them says they fit the bill very nicely.

Bluetooh would be the best feature for this particular reason....yay!
maybe you should try out the Plantronics Pulsar (590A or 590E)
its a stereo headset using either bluetooth or a 3,5mm plug. but using a cable you can only listen to music...
the 590A comes with a small bluetooth sending unit so use with every mp3 player with a 3,5mm port
i'm using mine with my htc kaiser on the go, battery lasts for about 12 hours. theres also a charging cable for usb ports, a cradle, a wall plug and a carrying case with included.
The soundquality is very very good in stereo mode, if you receive a call, it stops the music and switches the bluetooth profile to handsfree device.
You can controll your music player on your touch hd and also activate voice dial etc.
it's even better to use it at home with the pc and skype best combination
I'm using an HTC Touch Pro 2. It lacks a 3.5mm headphone adapter, so I thought, I'd get a bluetooth headset with A2DP support to get around it. I've bought a Plantronics Voyager Pro+ and been using it the last few days, however, I've noticed a few problems:
1) Ringtones don't go directly to the headset. I've fixed this halfway with a mortscript to adjust the handsfree options in the registry. Now my ringtone goes to the headset, but the ringtone that plays in the headset that the headset comes with plays along with my ringtone. Not cool.
2) Half the time when I'm walking around listening to music or in my car on a call, I get my sound dropping in and out or the people I'm on the phone with complain about me breaking up a lot or being static-y. Are there certain things around me that attribute to this? The first thing I had thought was my phone's radio playing into the bluetooth communication with the headset, but I'm just guessing.
I've considered getting a new headset instead, but before I take that plunge, I thought I'd try to gather some input on other perspectives. If I do go for a new set, what are some suggestions for one in the $70-80 price range to start with?
I like to run using Endomondo Pro and also listen to music. It seems that sound from only one source goes through the headphone and the rest go through the phone speaker. Is this normal? Is there any way to change it? Currently I can either listen to the coaching/interval information through the headphones or listen to music. As soon as the second source starts, the first goes through the phone speaker instead of the headphones. Notifications also seem to always go through the phone speaker not the headphones.
I'm looking for a single-ear bluetooth earpiece that has "podcast skip" controls. My Android podcast app has a button in the UI that skips ahead (and back) 30 seconds (for skipping ads) and when I have the phone bluetooth-paired with my minvan's audio system I can press "skip" (forward / back) on the car audio controls and the same thing happens - The audio skips forward / back 30 seconds.
I'm not looking for 2-ear earbuds or headphones - Looking for an earpiece I can put in one ear that has these controls on it.
Anyone know of such a thing?
Why? Because I'd like to listen to podcasts in my 30-year-old convertible that I only drive in the summer. In British Columbia, while driving, you're only allowed to have something in *one* ear and you're not allowed to touch your phone. I know I could probably MacGyver a bluetooth receiver and FM transmitter in the car, but it would just get immediately stolen from the convertible.
Thanks!
Just thought I'd reply back to my own post and let you know I found a product that works in case someone else is looking for something similar one day:
Link Dream Wireless Bluetooth Earpiece V4.1
I paid $27 CAD on Amazon dot ca.
Long-pressing volume up skips ahead in my podcast app, long-pressing volume down skips back.
(My podcast app is Podcast Republic for Android - It has settings that allow you to define what the bluetooth controls do.)
It's much smaller than the Amazon pictures would lead you to believe, which is fine by me.
