Hello,
I have just upgraded from an XDAII to an Orange SPV M2000.
First impressions are generally quite good. One huge problem I am having though is that my Jabra 250 BT headset that works absolutely fine on my XDAII, works terribly on the M2000. The connection is incredibly crackly to the point of it being unusable.
The same headset works fine again when I revert it back to the XDAII. I have even tried turning off encryption on the M2000.
Is it possible that because the bluetooth software on the M2000 is completely different to that on the O2 XDAII, that this could be part of the problem?
Grateful for any advice.
Thanks!
Howdy,
I have the same probs with Jabra 250 and MDA III @ 1.6.1, Broadcom Build 1900.
up to 40 centimeters, everything is ok with a free line of sight :shock:
it still works up to some meters, but is indeed unusable. :evil:
bought it at MediaMarkt, so they'll get it back.
D'you think it's a headset problem or a general problem with the bluetooth on the phone.
I find that Activesync over bluetooth does not work at anywhere near the same range I was getting with my XDAII
Can you let me know if you have better luck with any other headset.
Incidentally, I note with the Jabra that when it is connected, you can click and hold down on the Jabra paired device and bring up the status which shows connection strength. It fluctuates greatly between the weakest and the "Just Right" marks - which might explain why it so crackly.
MY BT Headset experience
I have been trying out some BT Headsets for my MDA III T-mobile Austrian edition and here are the results:
Jabra BT 250: The connection was cracking the whole time even when the phone was next to the headset. It is really comfortable when using it. VERDICT: Not usable.
Ericsson HBH 35: No cracking, great sound quality but would stop working after few minutes of inactivity. Turning BT on the MDA off and then on would make it work again. VERDICT: Usable but the inactivity thing really bugs me
Motorola HS-820: The same problems as HBH35 although the sound quality was somehow inferior to HBH35. VERDICT: same as HBH35.
Motorola HS-810: Works well, less disconnection problems than HBH35/HS-820 but still unpredictible/unreliable. The sound was barely hearable in noisy envoironments due to the desing of the headset. VERDICT: only headset that works more or less OK with the MDA III's current BT Stack. But only usable in the car or in a somewhat quiet environment.
Overall, wait for the BT fix. I've returned all the headsets until I can use one without problems.
Thanks for your reply.
Is the BT fix going to be unique to the service provider or will it be a Broadcom generic fix?
For example, I have the Orange SPV M2000 - would I be able to use whatever fix comes out for the MDA III or do I need to wait for Orange UK to release a fix specifically for their flavour of Blueangel.
Thanks!
I've been living with this cracking sound from the Jabra (paired to my XDA2) for almost a year now!
I don't know which headset I should use with my MDA Pro.
I'm a Plantronics fan, but Jabra also makes good Headsets. What do you think about the new Jabra with LCDisplay? It would be a good complement to use the closed Universal.
Did anybody use this new Jabra?
What model Jabra? the BT800? That one has the number display for called ID. It's good. I did not think i'd get use to it, I prefer the older bt250 style, but it's not bad at all and supports voice dialing.
i got the jabra's BT800 and SE Akono HBH660.. i think i like the bt800 better
@ GM: Is the display a big helper? Does it only show the number, or ist it possible to see the name either?
I am using the Motorola HS850 and it seems to work very well with JasJar.

Plantronics hasn't really released any new BT headsets. I'm still using my old M3000 with the MDA II. Try out Jabra since they seem to be the market leader for BT headsets.
bluetooth ...
i've used several BT headsets and the best ones i've used are from SonyEricsson ... I currently use both HBH-300 and HBH-608 and they both work fine on my XDA 2s ... the only thing i've noticed (comparing my XDA 2s with my SE P910i) that the bluetooth isn't as strong compared when i use them on my SE Phone... in comparison with other headsets, i think Jabra has been a good competitor as well as nokia ... i also have the O2 BT headset which is nice and small but the signal is really poor ...

I currently use an SE Akono HBH-300 and had an HBH-65 - they both work fine with my XdaII, though the 65 had crap battery life.
I am using the Oakley Razrwire glasses with my Jasjar 95% of time... Bluespoon AX 5% of time. BT has worked flawlessly on my Universal. I haven't had it drop connection not once.

number only
It's a shame that the JASJAR only sends the caller number to the headset and not the contact name.
I've tried my BT800 on my SE P910i and it displays the contact name when used on that device.
@ Triband81: Plantronics released a whole bunch of new interesting Headsets:
Voyager 510, with extended system für "normal" wired phones
Discovery 320
Discovery 640, only 9g, interesting charging solution

I ordered mine yesterday.
The Jabra BT800 sounds very interesting because of the display. But it lokks very large on the photos.
i think the bt800 needs the handsfree profile instead of the headset profile w/c jasjar has to display the actual contact name (if you check out jabra's website, almost all ppcpe's are not compatible with bt800). its either jabra released a new firmware for the bt800 or we'll wait for a ROM upgrade for jasjar

I have been using the plantronics v510, and it works very well with the JasJar. This is the only headset that I used when I first turned it on, I had to turn it down a couple notches just because it was too loud. Great headset, I wanted the 640, but couldnt wait for it to be released.
Anyone does know how to redial via bluetooth headset (HBH 660)?
@ guido: Try a "doubleclick" at the main headset button.
Thinking of getting the bluespoon 5g, I have no use for it right now with IIs, Mini and car phone... But after getting the Exec, BT is a must I guess and 5g seems to go well with it ;P
My headset- HBH Sony ericsson 662. Can see phone Number, can use voidial and listen music via bluetooth with Jasjar
:wink:
question:
can someone tell me if on the Jabra BT800 i can see the display while i'm wearing it ?
thanks

Only if you have an eye in the side of your head! Sorry .... you can only read it before you put it on.

I have been using a Jabra 250 bluetooth headset for some time with no problems on a variety of phones until now.
I have just bought a used SPV M500 with TomTom6 on board. The holux GPS connects fine as does the headset but my problem is that although people can hear me talking when I call them I cannot hear them or answer their calls. Has anyone else come across this problem or can anyone suggest a fix?
It gets better with the new AKU 3.x roms. With 2.x it just gives terrible soundquality.
Hi Guys, I've recently bought a universal and was wondering if they will work with a wired gps cube wired with an RJ11 jack into a car Mount, ive got a Blue Angel that works fine with tomtom and the wired cube but I just can't get it to work with the exec, any ideas,
Sorry if there is allready a post about this, I couldn't find one
Cheers

I recently purchased a Sony Ericsson Akono Headset HBH-608 from eBay (around £10, second hand but not been used), and would recomend it! Easy to use, good battery life, all the buttons work, and the voice dialing works with my Artemis too!
I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread for this, so that people trying to find a compatable headset will have somewhere to look
So, if you have a Bluetooth headset you would like to recomend, just post details here.
Cheers!
msi f110
tHOSE ARE AWSOME... REPLACEable aa battery.. I use them with phillips headphones...
love them..
Jabra BT8010
I am using Jabra BT 8010 with Artemis. It has A2DP too, so I can listen music as well as using it as headset. It has support for Stereo music too..
BlueAnt Z9
Use a Blueant Z9 with 02 Orbit and calls are very clear, it also has voice isolation which is great in noisy areas. Also commands via Z9 activate very well with Microsoft Voice Command v1.6 UK software
