Anyone tried the S2 with this bluetooth device?
Satisfied?
Other suggestions?
Thanks in advance /Voz
I have and its an absolutely brilliant headset well worth the money plus its got multi-point so you can connect 2 phones to it
Dave
Sounds, good, prob means I can have it connected to PC as well then, will order one tonight.
Very strange I have much worse sound quality in d975 than directly through the phone. However this might be a general bluetooth issue rather than specific d975. Eg with my 3gs it was impossible to use a bt headset.

Edit: A bug in S2 - turn of WiFi and it works much better. However, not very satisfied with soundl quality but probably more a problem with S2 bluetooth. Se further thread "crappy bluetooth..."

I think it's simply a limitation of the phone. Mine current headset doesn't reach very far either, and neither did my previous headset. And that's with Android 2.1, 2.2, 2.3 and now 4.0.
But it's a small sampling of three headsets between the two of us.
I have noticed that on some roms I can go further than other roms with my bt headset. Are you using a custom rom? If so Try a different one. If not, root and try another rom.
Yes and I have came ROM CyanogenMod 9 it the best

Try using a different headset. Gaming headsets are usually designed pretty well, but you will gain a lot more bulk with those. If you have a friend with a set, borrow them and try them out. If you test other sets and they all work the same you will know with some certainty that it is a limitation of the phone or a software issue.
My cappy does not get good range with a motorola headset and a sony over the ear headset. Typically I do not need 35 ft that is the standard so it has never bothered me.
Got a Kenwood stereo and my phone disconnects after about two minutes. After that it will usually reconnect and stay connected. Had the same problem exactly with my T-Mobile galaxy s2. With the s2 it only happened on touchwiz/T-Mobile ROMs. Haven't tried anything but touch wiz on note two as I actually like the features (WiFi calling). Spent months trying to fix on last phone until I just gave up. Any ideas?

Works fine with all other devices and with t989cm based roms . something about touchwiz/tmo ROMs breaks it. Head unit has no updates and poetically never will

Hello everyone.
I have bought N7 2nd generation few days ago and I feel very uncomfortable with android 4.3.
Is there any solution for downgrade to 4.2 or lower?
No.

ahh yes that's true, there may be stuff out there that won't work on 4.3. Only thing i can say about that is to contact the dev and wait for an update to the app. i know that's not what you wanted to hear, sorry. other than that though how do you like it? i got mine a few days ago and its been fantastic, best android device i've ever owned

I am really content with my new android device nexus 7
But... i think stereo speaker isn't louder than I expected.
It seems to have similar volume level with another devices..
And headphone jack is too quiet for me.
It is pretty much quieter than my ex-device Samsung Galaxy S2.
Is that only problem of mine?
thats a good question, havent even tried the headphone jack yet, guess i will now

Good
How's yours? I think it is so quiet with high-impedance headphone.
I also think it maybe a problem of Android 4.3..

Hi:
What compatibility problems are you having with 4.3 vs 4.22--apps, hardware....

Some Korean apps... and sound mods like viper4android.
And i think 4.3's audio output is quieter than 4.2.
My N7 is sooo quiet, both headphones and speakers.
Low volume really makes me disappointed.

I think you would lose more than you would gain
Newer devices have advances that play well with the newer OS systems that are available so in my view retro versions may not work as well with some of the more advanced designs in the device thingy.
That said I feel the volume is plenty loud and in fact sounds really good. This is without a doubt the best 7" tablet available at this time. The Nexus 10 is the best 10" tablet available at this time, yes better than the apple products. The audio is better and the screens are better and you can set it up as you please a more mature attitude from the manufacturer if you will. Less hand holding, less paternalistic access to your device.
I bought mine at Office Max with the 20% discount, I felt that the price was almost unbelievable and was surprised when they had some left in stock.
I would like more memory 64GB would be nice but I rooted it and use stick mount to run videos and move files.

Hi:
You might want to try these JBL Bluetooth speakers--they are loud:
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009AYLDSU/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
As for Korean apps, you might try backing up the apk files and installing them. I know that Google says many of my Chinese apps are incompatible but they all work. Worth a try.
Let us know if you find a work around with bluetooth headphones, apps or anything else that works. It's going to be a rocky road with Bluetooth and 4.3. Many Bluetooth keyboards and some headphones don't work with 4.3. I'm reluctant to order anything Bluetooth without confirmation from others that it works with 4.3
I ordered some LG Bluetooth headphones in June. They worked with the Nexus 7 2012 but only played 1/4 volume on my Galaxy S3 so I returned them.
Keep us posted.
Tom
My sound on the headphones is good/decent. At about 1/2 volume is comfortable to me.
I'm not much of an audiophile so I don't know how impedance effects the volume. It's not extremely loud at max volume, though. I'd probably still be able to hear my music while on the lawn mower or on my motorbike but not sure about a jet plane ^^
Speakers at max volume is fine for a quiet room, but outside it probably won't be very loud.
Hope this helped some.

Just confirming that my bluetooth keyboard (made by Anker for ~$25 on Amazon) works.
I just paired it and this is the first thing I've typed. Seems to do well. I can even alt-tab to other stuff running. Sweet.
Also just connected my bluetooth apple mightymouse (or whatever they're called) and that's working as well (at the same time as the keyboard)
Maybe someone will see this and find it helpful =)

Thank you for your valueable opinion.
To me, I'm very satisfied with another features and there was no intend to diminish Google or Nexus.
And I'm very proud of having brand-new nexus which have the sharpest screen among the world.
What I want to say is Nexus 7's audio quality is quite good but volume is low, lower than how I expected.
Within my experience, commonly, tablets usually make more powerful sound than phone but my Nexus 7 doesn't.
It seems to have simmilar power with phones. I just feel sad about that.

Thank you for attention.
Bluetooth is great and easy protocol for sharing small files or connect simple devices, but it is not so good for audio.
Nexus 7 doesn't support apt-x, so bluetooth will impair Nexus 7's quite good quality sound.
At this time I have no bluetooth device so I cannnot find which one works, which one doesn't.
Sorry for bad answer.

Maybe mine seems simmilar with yours, so I can think my device isn't corruped or something.
In fact I doubted my Nexus is a normal or not.
Thanks, thanks again.
Speakers are really loud. Comparable to my sons Samsung Tab and much much louder then the first gen.
As for apps, just because some apps haven't been given the green flag for 4.3 doesn't mean I won't work. I've sideloaded tons of apps that work fine.
Nothing really different between 4.3 and 4.2 cosmetically. You shouldnt want to downgrade just because a few devs haven't updated yet.

You would have to find a ROM that boost the volume. Just going to 4.2.2 wont increase your volume. I've been playing around with some stuff to boost volume and hopefully will have a mod out soon for it
But player is right...the diff between 4.2 and 4.3 are min. They did make a lot of battery saving tweaks, BT stack tweaks and other hardware tweaks but its more hardware related then os related

Hi
Basically I have noticed that the sound quality when using bluetooth headphones on 4.3 is noticeably lower than 4.1.2. From what I remember from my Nexus 4, the 4.3 rom had a lower bitrate bluetooth binaries and these were sorted out in 4.4.
Does anyone know of a way to sort this out for the Note? The fix I used on the Nexus does not work on this phone. It's quite irritating if truth be told.
Cheers for any help
Blimey... Has no one noticed the utter cack sound quality on bluetooth since the update?

I'm interested in this as well.
I went straight for 4.3 when i got my note 2 (without knox crap so i could downgrade) and yesterday i received my BT S Pen (HM5100) and i'm not satisfied at all with the quality now i dont know whether it is because of the S Pen itself or if the Bluetooth Connection is poor.
Right now i dont have time to downgrade to 4.1.2 and test it out so if anyone could shed some light on this i would appreciate it.

Hopefully someone has a solution
I tried replacing the A2DP bluetooth file using root explorer with the one from 4.1.2. Also tried replacing it with the KitKat one from my Nexus 4. They either literally broke bluetooth or just didn't make a difference in sound quality.
Hoping this can be sorted sometime soon because I've been unhappy with my phone for a while now and don't really fancy waiting for Kit Kat. There's more likelyhood of me buying a HTC One before this problem ever gets solved.
Hope I'm wrong.
