Hi guys,
I have a problem with my headset (a Sony HBH-PV720 bluetooth headset) . I connected it to my ubuntu to listen music with it. It worked for 10 seconds then the connection failed. I thought that might be a driver issue. Meanwhile the headset led was blinking green. The connection with the pc was established again for like 10 seconds and after it failed again but now the headset leds are off. I've tried to press any button of it to power it or something (I've tried everything from the manual) but the headset seems to be dead. Google also didn't help me at all. Does somebody have a solution for this problem ? Like a hard reset or something ? I've looked under the case but didn't see any reset "hole" ....
Regards,
Sorin!

Please help me out I'm incredibly frustrated with this thing. I recently got the PDA2k and installed WM05 on it. It looks very nice and it runs speedy with no problems. My problem is the bluetooth which is huge thing to me. Either my headset (Tekkeon Eztalker Mini) is not compatible which I doubt or I'm making a stupid mistake.
This is what I did step by step: I click on the bluetooth icon and turn on the bluetooth, I then put my headset in pairing mode and the imate is able to recognize it and I enter the Pw and I put Set as handsfree. That's it, I would think I would be done at this point yet nothing happens, the headset doesn't do anything and I know its not Tekkeons fault because I was able to hook it up easily with my HP 6315.
So what's going what am I missing?
Also theres a tab at the bottom called "Com Ports" but I only see under this option "Incoming Port", and the description at the top says there should be another option called "New outgoing port". Does this have anything to do with it?
What Am i doing wrong? It's driving me crazy I can't really use the phone without the headset.
help me out pls
Bluetooth
I know the feeling, i have gone back to 2003 cause of that but now i am back on wm5. The bluetooth issue is not fixed yet, it is not stable, it keeps going off. There is a suspend cab file, but it does not work for me yet, also try pokect zen beta. You might get a longer period of bluetooth
thanks for responding, but the problem is not that it suspends or stops working. It doesn't start working at all even though the imate detects it. It's like it's not connected at all, not that it disconnects. I'm doing something wrong I just don't know what.
The bluetooth piece is not faulty and the unit is practically brand new. whats going on?
I used "Display Switch" binded button (From Wisbar Advance 2) or "Toggle Screen" (From SPB Pocket Plus) to turn off the backlight instead of using power button .
This work around will keep bt connection alive.
Note:
1. If you suspend your BA using psShutXP your bt connection .
2. You have to disable auto turn off device under Start -> Setting -> Power
Note:
1. If you suspend your BA using psShutXP your bt connection will be disconnected.
I'm sorry I'm not sure I'm explaining myself correctly. I understand that if the power goes off I will lose the BT connection but the problem is not KEEPING the connection alive, the problem is MAKING the connection. I follow all the steps , the imate recognized the headset but I'm not able to use it..also shouldn't a headset picture show up at the top of the screen when the bt headset is connected (cuz mine doesnt). what am i doing wrong?
thanks.
still need help please.. if someone can walk me through how to setup a bluetooth connection that would be great cuz I apparently haven't done it right.
The headset icon only shows in Phone app
The headset icon only shows up in the Phone application. It no longer is displayed in the notification area (top row).
If your device is paired up, when you make a call, you will see the headset icon in the top right corner.
You may also need to clear any old pairings that you headset has. I have a Jabra 250 and it happens all the time.
there we go you have solved my problem!. I didnt' have to open up the phone application on my hp 6315 to use the bt. So wait can I listen to music with windows media player through the bt headset or does it only work when making phone calls? I was able to listen to music on the HP 6315, is it different with the Imate or is it the NEW 05 os? Please enlighten me
thank you thank you
also one other thing does this mean that if i want to use the headset with the phone that I have to press the answer button on the imate rather than the headset..cuz that would suck big time.
what about when people call me can i answer with the answer button of the bt headset or no?
It works fine with the headset button for answering or hanging up.
Later.......... 8)

Using Jawbone for audio with Windows xp laptop
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have a Jb which I use very successfully with my Nokia N75 phone. I want to use it for skype, etc on my windows xp laptop (a Thinkpad). I have tried several times to set it up but when I connect, I get an annoying rapid 8-tone signal about every 5 seconds. I suspect I have to change some audio setting on the laptop but I cant seem to find and fix the problem. Does anyone know how to make this work?
What is beeping your laptop or your headset? What bluetooth stack are you using on your laptop?
Jawbone with Windows PC
Thanks for your interest. The headset is beeping. I am not sure what bluetooth stack I have. I have a linksys usbbt100 bluetooth device plugged into a usb port. I set windows to use bluetooth for audio and microphone instead of the default internal Intel device. it worked perfectly the first time I plugged it in and paired it with the jawbone. then the next day I tried again and something was wrong. I dont recall exactly what I did but I have now messed with all of the windows settings and cant get it to work. I have also deleted and re-paired a couple of times as well as reset the jawbone. I spent two hours on the phone with linksys and they gave up. The computer works fine for a data transfer via bluetooth with my nokia phone which I did with the help of the linksys tech. I spent a half hour on the phone with Aliph, the jawbone maker, and they said it was not their problem.
You're probably screwed
I think you're out of luck getting the Jawbone to work with XP. XP doesn't currently support bluetooth headsets, and Aliph decided to embrace style of substance and save a few pennies per device by not licensing the WIDCOMM drivers for their headset.
I haven't looked at it, but check out the SP3 white paper to see if that might give you the services you need.
I had this *exact* problem and couldnt figure out how to solve it (my first bluetooth headset)
I think that ringing sound means the PC is trying to connect to the headset, and is waiting for you to press the talk button. So, I pressed the talk button and *nothing*. I pressed it again, and again etc... still nothing. It turns out, I wasnt pressing it hard enough. Anyway, it connected after a while and I was happy.
I think some sets might just have a stiff button or something. But I find I dont have to press so hard anymore - maybe it just takes a while to "break in" the button for everyday use...
I recommend the following steps:
- press the reset button on the jawbone
- pair the device
- turn it off using the talk button (try pressing it from different angles with different pressures)
- turn it on
- wait for your bluetooth software to detect it as a headset
- connecting to the headset using the pc
- wait for the 8 ringings
- try pressing the talk button from different angles with different pressures. the ringing should stop and it should start working...
Hope this helps,
James.
Thanks
I will try this sequence and the careful pushing of the talk button tomorrow. I hope it works. Thanks for the valuable coaching.
Hello Everyone,
i am a proud owner of the S9 bluetooth headset and it worked very well at the beginning (1 day). Than i deletes 2 registry settings as mentioned in a forum somewhere (max bit pool stuff) to get better sound quality.
I dont know if it is the cause of the problem i got now but next day the S9 was gone in the bluetooth device list of my touch dual and cant be found anymore. the strange thing about it is that if i press the telephone button on the S9 the ms voice command icon appears and i can talk to it. also the touch dual seems to use the s9 as headset as the ring tone volume is switched to zero and the headset icon appears in the calling screen (after pressing the send button)
anyway i am not able to conect the s9 for music transfer and that is the problem if got..
any chance to delete the touch dual in the s9 settings so it allows a repairing? or somehow recovering the appearance of the s9 in the device list of the ppc?
any suggestions are welcome.. nice sunday everone
Edit:
Problem solved.. dont know how but the pocket pc found the headset finally again..
Glad that it works again for you.
I have a Blueangle with WM 6.1 and the S9.
Can you get yours to play music and have the display off (not dimmed but off). I have found a device lock that works fine while BT is off however when BT is on and connected to the S9 it always wakes up the screen.
What Version of WM are you running ??
Oops, sounds like my yet-to-be-solved case.
What I have: Qtek 9100 and Jabra BT250v. Some time ago I also deleted this partnership (don`t ask why) and when tried to re-establish it again, the device kept declining the connection with the headset. The device finds the headset, asks for a password and whatever combination of digits I enter it rejects to establish a new partnership.
I guess, the problem is in registry. Anyone could help with this one? What should I fix in a registry to re-pair the headset and device? Thanks in advance.
Ok in case anyone else got that problem i guess i know what it caused: i paired the bluetooth headset with my laptop after pairing it with the pocket pc. and although no service could be used (ms bluetooth stack) the S9 didnt use the PPC as standard music device but the laptop. after deleting the pairing from the laptop the S9 i could pair it to the ppc again.
about MDAIIIUser's problem: dont know any way of listening to music with the device turned off. i use AE Button to switch display off by double cklicking the green button or starting S2U2 by double clicking the red one. anyway, if display is switched off and i press a button on the bluetooth headset the display turns on again thats why i just lock the device and dont care if the display is on for some minutes in my pocket..
I got a Samsung WEP460 for xmas and tried to connect with my Desire (non-branded (not unbranded!), non-rooted, official firmware) and it paired once, made one phone call with it - seemed to be working great.
However, I disconnected bluetooth and reconnected it later (assuming it would just connect up) and it seemed to have lost my headset from the pairing list in settings->wifi and bluetooth -> bluetooth
Tried to turn on the bluetooth headset into pairing mode again but got no lights/sound from the headset...
Thinking it had just run out of juice (not charged enough) - charged it up again, and it let me re-pair it to the Desire - however it asked for the passcode, then said paired but not connected.
pressed to connect and it wouldn't connect -
repeated this a few times and it still won't connect again at all.
When it tries to connect once and fails the headset seems to lock up and i get nothing out of it - not sure if this is a headset issue, or a Desire/Android issue...
Anyone else have any thoughts on this before I take the headset back to the shop?
thanks
tried connecting the headset to an iphone which worked.
tried on my desire again last night and that worked too.
the only difference was i made sure that the headset was 'turned off' (held for 4 sec to disconnect from phone) before turning off bluetooth on phone and then it seemed a lot happier...
strange!
Hello everyone
I have upgraded to B510 which I have rooted so that I could get a higher volume output in the jack out.
But I have some problems. I can't connect my Jabra Revo Wireless headphones with bluetooth. It simply just says failed to connect. It worked like a charm with my Logitech bluetooth receiver. My Jabra headphones also worked like a charm with my old phone which was a Huawei P1 unrooted. My headphones have been connected to my P6 before I rooted it, but has never worked like it did with my P1. There has always been some trouble in the connection proces between my Jabra headphones and my p6.
Another weird problem is the Dolby sound service. When I listen to music, it's on but suddenly it turns off. I can turn Dolby on again just by turning on the screen and turning it off again with the power button. It starts to work again when I turn off the screen. I think it may be something power saving option, but I can't find any settings.
Hope you understand my two problems here and I hope someone can and will help. I haven't been able to find a similar post.
Thanks.
