Motorola Elite Sliver bluetooth earpiece - Galaxy S III Accessories

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?

New Bluetooth Headset

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.

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.

Speaker making slight hissing and a click noise

Is anyone getting these slight clicking noise from the speaker whenever the phone is in use, like opening an app for example. I got my phone phone from the launch event (5th in line!! ) and i only noticed when it was really quiet in my room these noises came from the speakers.
To check, open an app and quickly put your ear to the speaker and I hear a hissing noise then a soft click. Always happens when i open an app!
I went back to Phones4U, the guy could tell it was faulty so I got it replaced..now same problem!! (not as loud as before, but still there)
Anyone having the same problem? can anyone check for me? this can't be normal!

Isn't that just the touch click?

No, I have that turned off.
It happens whenever the speaker is used - when the sound stops there is a quiet hiss, followed by a pop as the speaker switches off.
Try it - hold the speaker right up to your ear, and use the volume rocker to hear the beep. Afterwards there is hiss followed by a pop.
It's not noticeable enough to be an issue (for me) in normal use, but you can hear it if you're in a quiet room.

The click comes like 3 seconds after you make an input, so it doesn't sound right and it just sounds random (and annoying).
thanks tho!
Edit: Turning off Touch sounds, seems to stop it, whenever im using the phone..but yeah still happens whenever the speaker is in use but that i can live with that!

Happens with my OG Droid. I only started noticing it one late night when for no reason I had the speaker right up next to my ear.

Heh, that's certainly got something to do with it
As I say it's not really an issue, and it's not unique to this phone (as you point out). Just one of those annoying niggles - it depends on how sensitive you are to these things
Yes - I have the same problem with my new Galaxy Nexus. In fact, even if it's not a problem for most people, I'd say it is a problem for Samsung because I returned my phone yesterday and got it swapped out. The new one has the same problem, so I assume it's an Android software problem rather than a hardware glitch.
So that's at least two returns caused by this problem. Hope we get a fix at some point!
p.s. Phone is great by the way, even with the annoying click.
Guys
This is hardware problem. And it happens on most of the speakers however its more or less noticeable on some devices.
I have quite good quality monitors (studio speakers) and i can hear something hissing in the back.
Let me put it that way.
Every speaker needs electricity to work. The noise you are hearing is the actual electric current coming through the speakers. The sudden pop and lack of the hiss means that speaker has been turned off. For obvious reasons there is no point for the speaker to work constantly....

I can't hear any click when I plug headphones in, so maybe you're right - the click could be when the amplifier that powers the internal speaker turns off...
However, for some reason I still get a click if the phone is in silent mode. I guess putting it in silent mode doesn't guarantee it keeps the amplifier turned off.
I hope it's just the speakers; the DAC in my HD2 hissed for a few seconds after any sounds even through my headphones. The hissing was always there when there was sound. It was quite depressing. I'm hoping for a good DAC in the Galaxy nexus.
I've got a click (sounds just like a quite speaker pop) from the back cover.
Turn your GN over and push the back cover, on the "Google" logo (below the camera flash). Then quickly release your finger.
Sometime it can happen with only the lightest of touches. If i put my phone down on my chest, the pick it up.
If you look really closely you can see the cover moving just below the camera surround.
Issue has been reported to google.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22307
I have this issue on my gnex. Its def a sw problem. I took the back cover off and still have the issue.
slightly different, but also hiss related...
my rezound does the same thing when headphones(or aux to car) are plugged in and nothing is playing. once you start to play something you don't notice it. and its a confirmed issue.
It's a hardware issue guys, depends on the audio chip I believe. Impedance-related.
Here is the other thread with this annoying sound

It isn't just on the speaker either. Atleast on my Galaxy Nexus, I can hear it when listening on high end professional in-ear headphones. I can verify that it is almost certainly a signal isolation problem. The activity causes the DAC (the thing that makes a digital signal into an analog signal that speakers and headphones need) to kick on for a few seconds and until it shuts off you can hear the noise coming out of the DAC. It's pretty substantial on mine though, so I'm wondering if I got a bad unit. I'll have to stop by a Verizon Wireless store and plug in to the display unit to see if it is any better. I never noticed this on my Galaxy S (Fascinate).
My unit is also affected, it was made in Vietnam. I checked the Google Code issue tracker link (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=22307) and I can see many people confirming this also. This is definitely not how the speaker should work - I checked another Samsung phone (SGS II) and there's no such "clicks". There's some silent noise but not the click.
I can hear it from the speaker only, not through the headphones.
I think many users are unaware of the issue because it is often only noticeable in a silent environment.
Yes getting same issue. Have tried different ROMS to no avail

speamer phone sucks

Lg did a good job with this phone save a few small things and one larger one. This speaker phone sucks. I have never used a phone with a worse speaker phone feature in my life. If I even attempt to make a speaker phone call I always have Tunnel sounds and low volumes and people on the other end can't hear what I'm saying. Is this a hardware problem or is the microphone somehow turned down when you make a speaker phone call?

I like this phone, but the speakers on it is garbage, it's not very loud and the quality sucks compared to Samsung. I won't compare it with the HTC one, because that phone ifs on a different league on its own. Comparing to other non dual speaker phone, this is by far the worst I've ever heard. For such s great phone, LG went cheap on its speakers. Even plugged into auxiliary in my car, I have to blast the volume just to get it a little bit loud, I'll admit the sound is clean but just really low through auxiliary. This and the fact that the camera does not have image stabilization really it's a big disadvantage for me. However it's different for everyone. I'm going to wait on the next HTC phablet, it'll have a better camera then the one with beats audio amp.
The camera does have an image stabilization feature on video. Never need that for stills though. Use multiburst.

The vibration on this phone sucks too, it has the weakest vibration on any phone I've ever used. Miss calls all the time at work where I can't keep my ringer on.
there is an option to turn the vibration intensity up or down. since you didnt know this i assume you havent tried turning it up. theres settings for three things, touch vibration notifications and calls.

Earprice crackling sound?

I've seen this mentioned on a different site but wanted to get some feedback from XDA folks. Does anyone else have this issue? There's a weird crackling while on calls when the screen is either on or off (speakerphone is fine). I also noticed that when not on a call, if you put it up to your ear and turn on the screen, you can hear a similar sound that goes away when the screen is off. I saw that this problem was also happening with the Nexus 4 at one point but the thread didn't seem to go anywhere, and a similar thread for the G2. I went and exchanged my phone today and this one actually seems worse.
I'm pretty sure I'm not crazy. If it matters, it's a Verizon model.

Crackling is definitely still there without the back cover. The US variant doesn't have wireless charging, so maybe that part is causing the crackling for you?

No solution other than to exchange. Let's see what happens when I go back. I will go through all of their phones if I have to.
edit2: Went back to the store after work and they flat out refused to replace it because we couldn't reproduce it in the store. I'm starting to think it only does it when not in a full signal area. Stores have repeaters in them.
I am noticing a slight pop, crackling noise from the phone ear piece as well. I rarely use a phones earpiece...almost always use my Bluetooth(Voyager Legend).
I don't hear any of this when using my bluetooth headset.
It is very minor...imo....though just now, I was talking with a friend via the phone headset....and he said there seemed to be some "white noise every-time I spoke.
Same problem - ear speaker buzz / crackle
LG G3 with AT&T - on any and every call, the ear speaker crackles and buzzes so loudly it is almost hard to understand what the person on the phone is saying. This is my 2nd LG G3 in a week. First one killed the battery in 4 hours with very light use. This one battery is great, but now can't talk on phone. Speakerphone is perfect, Bluetooth in car is perfect, but that ear speaker on the face of the phone at the top is causing a huge problem. Any ideas?
i heard a crackling noise too, during calls, in ear speaker..
i have att version d850
Same here
During phone calls it's almost like the buzz/rattle muffles the voices of the individuals in speaking with. I love the G3 but as a teacher and basketball coach talking on the phone is very important to me.

I've had this problem with the G2s but not with my G3. Have D851. Which model do you have?
Headphone cables with higher resistance will reduce the problems. This mostly happens when the volume of the phone is not at max. Try using a Fiio (20$) to connect to your phone, put the volume to max and enjoy clear (and even better quality through better amp) music/audio. The will be no more crackling whatsoever. If there should be, buy your Fiio at amazon.com or similar so that you can return it if it shouldn't work. I myself the the same issue and it got resolved by my Fiio. There's also other reports on a Fiio resolving this issue.

galaxy buds and S10+ issues

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?
enable disable absolute volume.
set volume to max on ur earbuds and never to change again. change the touch controls to some other function or lock it. control volume only via phone.

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.

Did that the very first day but I did not help. So have sold the buds after all.

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?

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
