Hello, I have the Samsung Galaxy SII and I own already two BT headsets:
- Plantronics Discovery 640
- Nokia BH-609
The problem with plantronics is the blue light that flashes. Especially at night if I am watching a movie with low light, it is so bothering that I have to turn it off. Also it is old tech.
The Nokia BH-609 has great sound quality but a big problem for me: if I put it together with my phone one the same pocket there are 90% chances that the multifunction button gets double clicked and the phone redials the last called number (usually wife ) I installed third party apps in the Galaxy SII but couldn't reassign double click function.
Another problem with BH-609 is that if I will separate the phone for some minutes then to save battery it turns off and then I have to flash it on again to use it.
So now I am on the market for a new BT. Money is not an issue. My requirements are:
- difficult to double click (like plantronics or jabra)
- not bothering flashing blue light or at least a function to turn it off (like nokia BH-609)
I will use mainly for calls but I want to listen to low level music when I walk my dog.
Since money is not an issue I was thinking Jawbone ERA Motion. Do you think it meets my requirements?
Also does the plantronics Voyager Pro+ have a function to turn off the blue flashing? Or at least is it less bothering than Discovery 640?
Thanks
Well nevermind I just ordered the Jawbone ERA Bluetooth Headset (Midnight)
Hope I won't regret it.
I got it yesterday. Very cool looking headset. There is a free app that shows the battery level in the phone. Use the same charger as the phone (SGS2) I also got it updated easily through the jawbone website.
So far so good - think it worths the money.

i bought the Motorola Finity.. it is and isn't worth the money.. sound canceling is amazing, but it won't notify me of my notifications if my phone is silent... defeating some of the purpose of needing it..
sadly, this was the only blue tooth that i found that actually fit in my ear... all the circle buds were to big.. so... it is what it is..
hope you like your bt

Thanks for your input. Actually problems started yesterday evening. The phone shows that the ERA is connected but in some calls I hear nothing, completely no sound, even though it seems connected and the SGS2 shows that the headset handles the call.
Is it common problem?

Are you on a new rom?? And you may have a faulty bt. I had to have my first one replaced. It was kicking calls over to my handset constantly. It was handeling music, just not calls. Had it replaced, and no problems since

Hi, what do you mean new rom? For your info I updated yesterday through maker's site and I have the new firmware. The problem is this:
1 out of 5 calls (approx) I hear nothing, although the Galaxy S2 shows the the call is being handled by the headset. So sometimes for testing I call a phone of a friend in the same place with me, and although I hear the ring on the other phone, I hear nothing from the headset, that somehow still controls the call, because if I double tap it the call ends.
I called the online shop that I bought it and await for their reply.

I meant did you flash a new rom? Like you've rooted your phone, and flashed a new rom, and now it's all custom and fancy. Lol

Oh I see, no my phone is not flashed or rooted.
Does my BT problem sound to you like a faulty headset or a common jawbone problem?
I think a bad headset. Oh, and sometimes for whatever reason, bt doesn't work with all phones, but a new model should have no problem. I'd call jabra support and find out.

I have a cheap old Plantronics 220. The volume level sucks and the earloop is just painful.
After playing with my friends Jawbone, I'm thinking about going that route. Unless you guys have some other suggestions about 'loopless' headsets.
Plus you can pick up the Jawbones new on Amazon now for around 40 bucks if you look around. Win.
i don't know. i returned mine back and waiting for the new one.
as a design and fit to the ear without the loop it was excellent. it had also the clearest sound that i heard from BT headset.
Cons on using on android:
- you have to use 3rd party app, otherwise there is no sign of connection with the phone (unlike most other headsets that show a headphone display on the top of the android)
- if you set the headset as multimedia also (not only to work during call) and have set the android to notifications sounds, these sounds will go to the headset and will drain the phone's battery pretty fast.
These are my conclusions from only two days of usage.
I use this. http://www.motorola.com/Consumers/U...ices/Bluetooth-Headsets/MOTOROLA-FINITI-US-EN
No need for 3rd party app, at least on inspire. Fits amazing with out ear loop, but I use it for the just in case. Would freak if it fell and busted it I lost it.
It fits inside your ear, not just sitting there. It has stealth technology, which says blocks wind to 40 MPH. But I know that I can be on a phone call and vacuum and no one knows I'm vacuuming. Lol.
Here's the thing I don't like. If my phone is silent, so is my bt on notification. And if i get a phone call, I don't get the ringtone all the time, but itbalways says, who is calling me.

I'm thinking about getting the jawbone bluetooth era. I currently have the blueant q2 and have had a lot of different issues with it I've replaced it twice. I'm on my 3rd replacement no now the battery won't even last an hour i'm done with blue ant. But before I go and drop another 130.00 on another headset I wanted to see if anybody has the new jawbone and how god it is does it work great with the evo how dots it compare to the icon. Thank You
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
also very interested in this... I had the icon also and loved it.
Got one yesterday, works as good or better than the Icon and the voice caller id kicks butt! I recommend it, Best Buy has em and you have a 30 day return to work with. I say give it a shot you won't be dissapointed.
Unless you have a problem with looks, the best bluetooth hands down is the Plantronic Voyager Pro or Pro Plus. End of story.

LOL and fit. Horrible fit for many of us that wear glasses.
I have had the Era for a couple of days and it's good. It's basically an Icon with (hopefully) better battery life, vastly improved music sound, and voice caller id of limited usefuleness. I hope this will change in the future, but the voice caller id is limited to 10 numbers that you program in yourself. No phonebook download like BlueAnt. I'd still be all over the BlueAnt T1 if it didn't cut out so much when the phone was in my pocket, as I loved how it did the phonebook download, and the answer by voice.
Pros:
Much improved music quality
Seems to connect calls a tiny bit quicker
Finally SOME voice caller ID
Seems to remember BT audio settings better (when turning on the Icon, half the time my Evo would get the BT audio, the other half it would go to my work BB 9700. Era seems to always go to my Evo as desired, maybe it remembers the last one connected?)
Cons:
Same good bass can make voices sound less clear than the Icon
Only 10 voice caller id entries, you gotta be kidding me!
Very high price (thanks UPS for my 25% accessory discount)

Hands down? End of story?
Let's see. Huge, heavy design. Not glasses/sunglasses friendly. VERY fragile (look at all the reports of people needing 2-3 replacements within 6 months). Wind noise still gets transmitted through even with 3 mics.
Of course there are probably great things about it too, as you seem to love it as much as I love the Icon (and now Era). I HATED the first two Jawbones, and used Plantronics for a few years (though none of them lasted worth a crap). The Blueant Z9 was probably the first BT headset I considered to be good, but compared to what's available now it was absolute junk.
So anyway, great for you, poo for me.. No hostility intended, just posting the facts as I see them. Tomato tomato, potato potato, blah blah blah.
Eh sorry, seems harsh now that I reread what I wrote... Just my opinion.

I just got the Era last week and love it! the "default" earbud fits my ear nicely...the sound is clear, people seem to understand me, voice search and dial work as good as ever
The "tap tap" takes a little getting used to but works great once you get the hang....
The battery life is nice (I wish they would get their act together and get a battery meter like they have to iphone and blackberry though)

I have had the voyager pro for a good while now and It is a bit of a tight fit but I never have had issues with wearing my nike glasses or my oakley sunglasses. Also it is the best BT I've ever owned I use it in my convertible all the time on the highway at the worst I may have to roll up my windows but other than that its awesome!!!!!

Just got the new ERA. Had an ICON and the Jawbone before that. Each one improves in increments. The sound, especially for music, has improved greatly. Upgrade the firmware ASAP because the shipping one can have a crackle when playing voice mail... some kind of a quirk in the DSP circuit. Caller ID actually lets you use 20 numbers, which is enough for my most called circle. Only numbers after that 20. I like it, but it's still going for full list of $129, even on Amazon. One of the few things I'm a first adopter of. Always been happy with them. Good range with my EVO, too.
Just picked one up. So far I haven't really placed any calls with it but the audio listening to music and podcasts is really good. So far it works with Pandora, HTC Music app, Google Listen. That's about all that I've tried. When I get home tonight I'm going to update the firmware and add some people to the phone book. I'll update in a few days once a take some calls on it.
Just bought another one 3 days ago because I lost my first one. Then I found the other one yesterday. Annoyed.

Jawbone ERA
I just picked up this pricey item in the hopes of getting all these high end features to use with my EVO 4G (HTC Sprint). I immediately loved the pairing and was able to hear my music through it. However, to get to the other features I spent $130 for such as speech to text, audible email, caller id etc., you're supposed to go to mytalk.jawbone.com. So I register and I get a message saying my operating system is not supported. WHAT!!! I'm so bummed because I thought this one was gonna be the one. (I've tried 3 others so far.) Anyone know how to work around this compatibility issue? If not, please recommend a full featured bluetooth.
Thanks!
Sunnilocs
I've had every Jawbone since they launched and just got the Era having retired my Icon which was not working well of late. (Kept disconnecting and reconnecting with the phone constantly.) So I thought I'd try the Era and have set it up to work with my EVO 4G. Love the quality of the sound, calls are clearer (even in my convertible), and everything seems to be working well EXCEPT the caller ID. I have imported about 12 numbers that I want announced by name, but only one works correctly. When I'm called by any of the others that I've added to my list, it only reads the number, ("Call from: 818-555-1212") and won't say "Call from: John Smith". The numbers that won't announce by name are in my list, and the Era is correctly updated with MyTalk. I even deleted the entire profile, reset both the headset and phone and started all over again with the same result. If anyone has any ideas, I'd sure love to hear them!
I just "upgraded" from a dinc to a dinc2 and I'm pretty disappointed. I am trying to see if I can get some help from you guys before my 14 days are up.
1) The external speaker is horrible. On my dinc I used the speaker phone for all calls and 3-5 hours of XM Radio a day. The speaker was loud, clear and oddly amazing. The dinc2 -- I can kind of make a phone call, but it's not very loud and there is a nasty 'tin can' sound to it. Playing music through this thing is just horrible compared to the dinc, it's not loud enough and sounds like gibberish.
2) In call quality through the headset speaker has the same tin can sound and I swear I can hear myself talk through the headset sometimes.
3) The size -- love it
4) Software -- love it
I actually love everything about this phone other than the audio quality. I brought it back to the Verizon store a couple hours after buying it and they told me that it just had a lower quality speaker. After reading some reviews I think he is full of it. Please help/advise!!
Thanks
neal
I an pretty disappointed with mine as well.
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
The speaker does seem to be a bit lower quality. I came from an Eris, though, which had an even worse speaker, so I didn't really notice it. However, the general consensus seems to be that the speaker is not as great as other devices.
What kind of headset are you using? I use headphones plugged into the 3.5mm port and it sounds pretty great to me. Bluetooth isn't as high fidelity, but it's still not bad (I assume this is due to compression over A2DP), and definitely not tinny. I haven't tried bluetooth communications as I actually don't use my phone as a phone very often (so much for being a phone!).
I thought it was just mine with the external sound speaker problem.
VZW is sending me a new one. Should be here today.
Will test the new one, but based on this thread, I'm not optimistic that another one solves the problem.
I also requested a new one because my GPS takes 5-8 minutes to lock on.

Any one else have volume issues when playing videos. Can't get sound off of videos on card. Any advice?
I am on my third replacement phone (last one the LED notification didn't work) and now I am noticing that there is a very faint 'Pop' sound emitted from the speaker phone 3 seconds after there is a system audio sound. For instance, every time I hit the Home button or unlock the phone, I hear the 'Pop' three seconds later.
Does anyone else have this problem? If I have headphones plugged in, I do not hear the sound through the headphones.
Thanks!

Yes I do have the sounds enabled and I hear those fine. I am hearing an additional click/pop noise 3 seconds later. It makes the sound pretty much every time the phone makes noise. It's very faint.
From what I've read this is a pretty common problem. Mine does this as well but honestly I can only hear it when its quiet.
There's also another thread on this topic but I don't believe there was really conclusion.
Mine and a bunch of nexi at my local best buy suffer from this. It is not dependent on lock sounds it's a problem with the DAC I believe

Gotcha. Are you boosting your volume with volume+ or any other app?
Thank you for the replies. I'm glad to hear I'm not alone.
I have the same problem. I posted a thread yesterday, and there's another one (i didn't see it before posting mine).
That's a pretty annoying issue, i used to have the same thing on my unibody MacBook (fixed with an unofficial software patch), and once you hear it, well, you can't unhear it.
I hope this is not a hardware issue and can be fixed by some patch, but no one seems to care about this one (maybe not all GN have this problem?)
I decided to just disable all touch tones since it was bothering me too much. Just out of curiosity I checked another Nexus and the pop is still there but could only be heard by literally holding the speaker phone to my ear. Not nearly as loud as mine.

Has anybody else tried the Motorola Elite Sliver bluetooth earpiece? I have tried two of the units with my AT&T S3 and with both the people I am talking to have complained about the low quality of the sound. It's loud enough. They say the sound is "fuzzy" and sounds like I am talking in a barrel. Also, there is a lot of background noise. I installed the MotoSpeak app and tried different background noise cancellation settings but that didn't help. I had a friend of mine try it with his iPhone 5 and the problem persisted. It is without a doubt the most comfortable earpiece I have ever worn. But, that's of little value if the other person can not understand me.
Thanks

I use it with my S3 and I like it. I haven't haany complaints about MINE, but two of my friends got them because I raved about it and they both sounded fuzzy. one of them returned it and the other still uses his. I love how minimal it is, but I sometimes miss my moto h710 I had. that thing was amazing and crystal clear.

I think I can help you with this since i was exhausted with this prob before.
You can connect the earpiece normally, yet before turn on bluetooth on your S3 do a few step below:
Access Motorola Elite sliver menu and turn off Wide band audio (option 5)
Then turn it off
Turn it on and access menu again. Then turn on Wide band audio
Turn on S3 bluetooth and let it connect to Motorola Sliver as normal
--> You are good to go, people now can hear you loud and crystal clear :victory:
Hope you also enjoy the earpiece as I do after fixing this prob
Thanks windbytrick. People tell me that really made an improvement. Is this procedure required every time I take the earpiece out of the charger? Or, every time I turn the earpiece off? Thanks again.

this should be done everytime you take the earpiece out of the charger, i'd recommend you do it once in the morning and keep the connection between SLIVER and S3, then you dont have to worry for the rest of the day. It wont be a prob for both S3 and Sliver battery.
Thanks winbytrick.
I had it, return and bought Jabra WAVE+. Way better and more comfortable.
Tengtengvn,
Does the Jabra Wave+ have the same capabilities as the Sliver with the MotoSpeak app?
Android has that capability built in. Why do you need an app to do that?
i think the buds are really good.... but I am now on my third pair, as the first two both malfunctioned, and i'm starting to wonder if its the buds or the phone. In . both cases, when new, I had equal stereo, but within a few days, I found the left side to be much quieter than the right side. One day they were fine. the next day they weren't, and they never returned to working properly. Identical experience on the first two sets. In both cases I had tried resetting them, removing and re-pairing them, messing around with loads of different galaxy buds and bluetooth parameters etc. Of course, I tried reversing them in the opposite ears, but it was the bud, not my ear! So now im on my third pair, and hoping they dont go wrong. Anyone else had these issues? Perhaps its the device itself?

Well I can say that the other end of a call not being able to hear you, and the crackling of presumably crappy bluetooth connection when phone in pocket does NOT improve with a different phone. I had to warranty my s10+ for the sprint signal issues and no change on either front. Getting ready to try and see if they'll swap out my buds now, but who knows with samsung nowadays

I had major issues with my buds after an update so much that I couldn't put my phone in my pocket without 2 or 3 second dropouts. I had to reset the buds a couple of times and now they are perfect again. Have you tried this?
Does the ambient sound work for you? For me and other users who reported the issue in Samsung forum it does not, meaning that it does not make any difference...
There was an update in the last few days. I've had much better luck since then.
Hey guys I have an issue with my galaxy Buds.
They are not loud enough and dont produce good sound quality for calls as well as for music, they also dont get along with bluetooth connectivity. Most of the time gets disconnected and produce uneven sound while they are connected to the device, people on the call do not hear my voice properly and clearly.
Have tried reset option but it does not work for me, face the same problems time and again.
Any solutions? Definitely not going for a replacement as the procedure will be lengthy as I got them in the pre order sale.

Have you tried adjusting the volume of your buds? Go into the wear app, select your buds (my app defaults to my Gear S3), and go into touch pad. Change it to volumn up. By default they are set to like 1/2 the volumn they are capable of.

In both cases I had tried resetting them, removing and re-pairing them, messing around with loads of different galaxy buds and bluetooth parameters etc. Of course, I tried reversing them in the opposite ears, but it was the bud, not my ear! So now im on my third pair, and hoping they dont go wrong. Anyone else had these issues? Perhaps its the device itself?

don't update them, I seem to think the update bricked my pair so now I just don't mess with updates..

My buds were shipped to me the day the phone launched. From the beginning they seemed low budget in every respect except sound quality. Sound wise they are solid mid tier Bluetooth buds. Like many I had spotty connectivity while pocketing the phone. I had the right bud with less battery life/capacity then the left. And now my bud are being sent in to Samsung since the case no longer tops the earbud off without being plugged in. Fully charged case, insert dead buds, 3 hours latter buds still 0%. Light inside case never turns on.
My right one stopped connecting :/
hey,
does anyone else have a battery drain on the f3 update? my right bud keeps draining my case and itself.
The case was fully charged I left it and after 24h the case was dead and the right bud is at 30%, while the left bud is at 100%.
I tried resetting, cleaning case and even adding papers on top of right bud(bad connection) but nothing helped.
I know my bud is charging for sure because the light recognizes it but it seems unable to fully go out when in case(The bud).
Anyone had the same issue? anything that can help? I really like the buds but this issue that came with the last update(I THINK) is really a downer
