Sadly i am still experiencing a crackling and failing BT connection while on the phone with someone after upgrading from 1900 to 3500 (it did improve on my side)
I dont think this can be resolved at the time, so its not really my question. (but if there is a fix, please say so )
My real question is this:
Is there any way to use this headset to listen music on?
So that if i play an MP3 the music comes out of the earpiece of the BT headset and not out of the PPC Speaker?
Come on guys, i cant imagine i am the only one who wants to listen to music through his BT headset
My understanding is that the Blue Angel platform is not capable of doing this. I believe that there is something called ADP2 profile that is necessary to make this work.

same problem here
Is there anyone out there who uses their mda in combination with bluetooth without problems like sudden disconnects or crackling soundz?

I am using a Plantronics M2500 headset with my PDA2K and it is not bad. I previously used the Jabra BT250 but there was so much static that I stopped using it.
With the M2500 I sometimes get a little static at the beginning of a call (but no where near as loud as the Jabra) but it generally goes away in a couple of seconds as long as I have 2 to 3 bars of signal strength reception.
I normally carry my PDA2K on my right side and wear the headset on the same side. Then when I get in my truck, the PDA2K is placed in the mount on my dashboard about 1 meter from the headset.
One thing I have noticed though, if I am talking on the phone via the headset and I am holding the PDA2K in my hand and moving it around at arms length the static tends to come back. If I place the PDA2K on my desk or in the car mount so it is stationary, the static goes away.
Also, in observation, there is no way I get more than 3-5 meters of distance before loosing the bluetooth signal. For example, I can keep a connection while I am putting gas in my truck but as soon as I walk about 5 meters away from my truck, I lose the connection. Also, ocassionaly I have lost the connection with my PDA2K on my belt (right side) if I have on a heavy winter coat. This only happens ocassionaly though.
Hope this helps.
Hello,
This is my first time using bluetooth on the Tilt 2.
I notice a significant amount of static on two headsets now. First was a cheap 30.00 bluetooth headset I returned for an upgrade to a Voyager 520. Headset seems to work well but I do notice an excessive amount of static.
Is this a known issue? Is there a way to boost the signal?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
I don't use the bluetooth headset on the TILT 2 (TouchPro2) it's horrible, I have several $100+ units and they all sound the same, I've tried all the registry tweaks and nothing seems to work, so I've given up !
I've tried a Jawbone Prime and 2 Blueant Q1s.....random static. It gets better if I get the phone about a foot from my head, but at that point, I may as well just lose the bluetooth and hold it to my ear. Funny enough, when I have it connected to my car's Bluetooth (2008 Altima) it seems to work fine.
On my original Tilt, with the MS bluetooth stack, it worked flawlessly with my headsets, but wouldn't work worth a crap with the car. Go figure.
Yep, I can confirm that I get static with my Plantronics 520. It sounded just fine on my original Tilt, but on the Tilt 2 I get static even with my phone in my pocket. If I get more than 10 feet away, I can't hear anything but static.
I have the same problem with both my Sony Erricson and Jabra v250 headsets, mine does it in less then ten feet, worked fine on the Tilt and Fuze, sux on the Tilt 2
So I've got a pair (if you can call it a pair) of Motorola Motorokr S9-HD Headphones.
I can connect them to the phone just fine, but when I cover the bottom portion of the phone with my hand the signal drops out completely and I was wondering if anyone else experiences this or if it's just me.
So surrounding the bottom portion of the phone (with the Home, Menu, Search and Back buttons) with my hand and the signal drops out. Headphones on, phone in front of me.
Same thing happens if I push the phone up against my chest/stomach, no signal. Sometimes to the point that it disconnects entirely.
Normally I would be like "no big deal, I just won't do that." But the phone being in either my front or back pocket causes the same effect, making them kind of useless.
So, end result, is it my headphones, my phone, or both? Can you test the headset you have and see how it works out for you?
I've attempted this on stock ROM with Root, Fresh 5.3, and DC 3.2.3 with the same results each time.
I tihnk the BT and WIFI ant's are on the bottom
teh CDMA is on top -- if i cover the top, i can go from 4 bars to 0 barz
if i cover the bottom the wifi drops a lot
i think the BT ant is pretty weak .. couldn't go more than 10 ft from a laptop doing audio streaming
i'll try the BT later on when i get home unless someone else gets to it first

Well if the BT antenna isn't on the bottom, then why is it when I put my hand over the bottom the signal drops?
I want to see if anyone else can replicate this issue..
I have the same headset. I tried everything you did and it works for me. I occasionally get a breakup of audio, but it is not related, however it is the headset.

Damn, that sucks. I hardly used the damn thing. Thanks for checking it out, I would have assumed it was the phone.

i'm saying the tooth antenna IS (probably) on the bottom hence why you cover it up it dont work as good. sorry my grammer sucks
I would swap it for another one. While generally I find the headset to be a great improvement over past Bluetooth Headsets, I am still not impressed that after 15 years that bluetooth has been around that it has yet to impress me as a wireless medium.
This headset is still only class 2 and Bluetooth 2.0. Where are all of the Class 1 and Bluetooth 4.0 devices?
I have tried all the Plantronic, Jawbone and Numerous Motorola devices and have been left wanting. I will probably be returning this headset as well. Although it has good sound quality, the earbuds (event he smallest ones) are too big for my ears and they do not seat down inside like a quality pair of tips. The phone breaks up especially while on the phone, but for listening to music, it is in general quite a good device.
The biggest problem with going wired headsets is that people have quit making a good wired stereo heatset with mic.
well, I have had 20 or more BT headsets, and, the only one I have EVER had that played music without breakup is the Jawbone Icon..
Sure the sound sucks, its mono and tinny, but I never lose signal with pandora, slacker, or sd card music with this headset..
motorola s9HD was one of the worst ones I had for losing signal from my phones..agree that its a shame that no one is able to make a HQ STEREO BT lightweight headset that doesnt drop signal yet..
the backbeats are damn good for music, world better than my s9s. ive got the 903 but the 906 are supposedly even better
I have the same issue with the motorolas, not as bad as you but I do get the breakup if i carry the phone in front of me. I have the Shure 530 headphones which kick ass so I got a Sony BT Transmitter, I think it is the BT15 or maybe the BT30, works perfect for me, I clip it on the front of my shirt plug in the Shures and presto bluetooth. The receiver even has a built in mic, works about as good as the Motorolas.

I can't for the life of me remember which one I have but be advised one of them has a mini usb charger the other requires a specific cradle, i go the one that has the mini usb, didn't want to carry around a specific charger for this.
Hi All
Recently got some wireless headphones for the first time.
They are a pair of Jabra Revo Wireless, and I'm on OOS 3.26.
I'm getting random cuts over bluetooth, and on different apps (Spotify and Pocket Casts).
I'm inclined to think it's a problem with the headphones (going to get a loan of a different phone to try them with something else that's not the OP3) but just wanted to make sure that this isn't an issue that happens with other people?
Thanks!
So I have a pair of Anker earbuds (which I can use to make calls) which connect first time, every time and work flawlessly. I use them out and about & when travelling to listen to podcasts etc on the phone.
But around the house, I prefer a simple mono bluetooth headset I can quickly pop in my ear and still have one ear free (and not have to mess around with wires between the buds). I had a Jabra Mini, which I just returned. Most times when I switched on the headset, it just wouldn't connect. If it did connect, sometimes the mic just wasn't working and the other party couldn't hear anything and would hang up. And if it did connect and they could hear me, often as not there would be massive interference, bad enough that the call needed to be ended and I'd have to switch off the headset and use the phone speaker and call again.
So I returned it and got a Jabra Stealth yesterday. It paired straight off and a call to a friend was marked as "flawless". Then today, I turned on the headset and it simply wouldn't connect. I reset the headset - then it wouldn't pair. Restarted headset and phone, and managed to pair them. Made a call and all was well. Except this is exactly how things started with the Mini...
So has anyone else had success with Jabra? (I stuck with Jabra as they're so well regarded in the UK). And can anyone recommend a decent headset that they have found works with the Pixel 2? My price range is around £40 ($60 or so) and I'm in the UK. (I wish Anker did a mono headset.. )
Thanks in advance!
