Hi, I am limited in the availability of bluetooth headsets. I wanted the sony erricson but cannot get this. The Motorola HS810 is available. Can anyone tell me if it works well and the talk time. Someone mentioned the bonding took 2-3 seconds which doesn't sound great at all.
:?: :?:
It works, perfect!
Tomer
Have no idea, how Tomer could get this thing to work, my xperience is the same 2-3 (sometimes 8-10) sec's of bonding time, and then refuses to bond after 3rd or 4th call.
DO NOT BUY THAT THING!!!!
I have had similar problems with the Motorola HS810 headset. It takes a few seconds to link with the XDAII when a call comes in and sometimes it does not link at all, usually when you make another call too soon after a previous one. The particularly frustrating thing is that you cannot answer a call by opening the mic boom on the headset, as it takes too long to bond with the XDAII, so you have to leave the boom open all the time (i.e. on standby).
I had hoped that this headset would enable me to redial and voice dial (with appropriate software) but I have not found any way yet of doing that. I've tried a few of the major voice recognition software programmes available on www.handango.com/o2 but no luck - they seem to require a hardware button to be pressed on the XDAII which kind of defeats the purpose of having a headset and keeping your XDAII in your bag or pocket.
I would very much like to know if:
1) Any bluetooth headsets exist that work better with the XDAII
2) Anyone has developed software which enables voice dialing from a bluetooth headset
Regards,
Rafil.
I found it was pretty good, but in the end exchanged it for HDH35 since I was told (incorrectly) that the SE headset interfaced better with the XDA2. This is wrong - they do the same.
+++
The Motorola definitely interfaces better with Nokia phones than the HDH35 - you can click twice (IIRC) to do a last number redial - the HDH35 just blithers if you do this.
The Motorola is cuter, smaller, cheaper (just), looks slightly less bizarre and less phallic (although the Jabra is the ultimate dickhead symbol)
---
The HDH35 is much more comfortable for long periods of use - I can wear it on my left ear and forget it all day. Right ear, not so good!!
For your info they are about the same price on eXpansys.com, and half the price of retail in the UK. I paid £70 for the HDH35.
i don't think this is an evo, or even android, issue, but i was hoping the great minds here could maybe direct me or at least clear this issue out for me. i have an mp3 file i'd like to use as a voicemail message greeting. is that even possible? i know a lot of people have songs as greetings, but i always thought those were selected from a bank of pre-selected options.
any thoughts on this?
hmmm. Take the song, layer your voice over, then plug your phone into the computer through line output (does the 3.5mm act as mic jack? on the phone) then call your voice mail

haha i thought of doing that, but i don't think the 3.5mm acts as a mic. if it does though, someone please correct me because i have the most epic of all greetings ready to be unleashed on the few who actually call me haha.
my only alternative, which seems to be the only one at the moment, is to let my laptop scream it out loud while the voicemail system catches it. sigh.. lol
The headphone jack does support mic input, but only through a hands-free headset (that is, a TRRS jack). I just dug through my stuff and I only have 2.5mm headsets, no 3.5mm that would fit the Evo, but if anybody has a stereo headset they should try this out. I tried an external mic and it doesn't pick up, but the headset icon comes on in the notification bar. If it works, it's easy enough to make your own external microphone with simple Radio Shack parts, probably a $5 job. I'll splice something together tomorrow and test this out. The only issue would be that it might trigger the headphone output and mute the speakers. . . .
EDIT: Also just found this. I just sent my cables off with family on a trip so I can't try it right now, but I'll give it a go tomorrow as well.

oooh awesome, please let me know! i don't mind building an external mic at all. thanks!
Well, I struck out looking for my other AV cable and finding one locally. Here's the way this is going to go down:
The Evo headphone jack is a 4-conductor type, also known as TRRS (tip-ring-ring-sleeve). Normal stereo headphones are TRS (tip-ring-sleeve), and you can see the difference by looking at the plug end. If you have a metal tip, then a black ring, then a metal ring, then another black ring, then the metal shaft (sleeve), it's a TRS type. These are able to send the left and right analog signals separately (usually left to the tip, right to the ring, and the ground or shield to the sleeve). The TRRS connector adds another wire to the mix, and this can be used to carry a mono mic or line signal, or even an analog video signal. This is why you could use an analog camcorder cable like this one. I've seen them for less than $2 from some websites, but no local retailers have them, except maybe Best Buy . . . for $41. (You think I'm kidding? )
Cell phones are starting to use these TRRS connectors more commonly, allowing both stereo headphones and a hands-free microphone to share one cable. The problem here is finding a TRRS input cable and coupling it to a line/mic signal. So here's what I was going to do. Get a TRRS-to-RCA adapter like the one linked above, then use a 3.5mm-to-RCA female-female adapter OR a common 3.5mm-to-RCA (red and white) adapter to connect a line/mic signal to the correct RCA connector on the TRRS cable - probably the yellow one. It may or may not take the right kind of adapter to take the stereo line signal down to a mono signal, unless your source is already mono. Otherwise, you could be sending a stereo signal from the source, but only recording the left or right channel into the phone. Alternatively, if I had an iPhone headset or another stereo hands-free headset with a mic built in, I could cut the wire open and separate out the microphone wire from the bundle, then splice a mic/line onto it. It's sometimes tricky getting those tiny wires split apart just right, and those headsets are sometimes expensive.
So, short version: You need a TRRS connector to plug into the Evo headphone jack, and you need to be able to feed a mono line/mic signal to just the tip of the connector. Easy. I have everything but the TRRS plug itself, so I'm stuck for today.
By the way, if you've ever plugged a TRRS cable into the Evo, you'll notice that the standard headphone icon in the notification bar actually shows up with a little microphone coming down, like a flight headset, so you know you have a mic signal at least triggering that fourth conductor.
hmm... you're right about the different icon. i tried it with my old iphone 3gs earphone/mic. pretty slick lol.
i'm going to go to radio shack tomorrow and grab this stuff. all for a custom voicemail lol.
thanks a lot! i'll post up my results, probably this weekend.
There are broader applications to this, I think. Find a good mic and you could record events, maybe. Or hack together your own car kit.

you, sir, are giving me ideas.. i sense a good weekend project coming up.
A different voicemail for each caller.
One of the few times I've been able to come up with an answer before some one beat me to it.
There is a free website out there that I love called youmail.com. You can choose from hundreds of recordings they have or upload your own. Each person can have their own unique voice mail greeting or you can set up groups and each member in that group will have the same greeting.
For example, my work associates get a more professional greeting, family and close friends get something more fun. I've got one just for my wife telling her how much I love her, and a friend of mine that I have shall we say, a boisterous relationship with, get's a very sarcastic greeting. Another friend that's into horses get's a Kentucky horse race greeting. As you can see, you can have a lot of fun with it and do just about anything I like with it.
If you want to do something in your own voice than all you need is a regular microphone to plug into your computer and your set. You can record it directly on the web site or you can use your own software to overlay other audio if you like.
Your limited only by your imagination.
It's a free site, but they do have some pay ring-tones if you really want to give them your money. Personally, I haven't found most of the pay tones to be worth it, but I'm sure somebody does. They have to be paying the bills some how.

i read about this.. is it really that good? i don't really like setting up my voicemail from a third-party because, well, i've never done it and didn't really have a need before.

I think it is. Never had a problem and I've spent hours going through the hundreds of sound files they have and had a lot of fun doing it. Found everything from very professional to down right vulgar (used that on my best friend) and everything in between. I've even set up holiday greetings for many holidays. It can be lots of fun for both you and your callers.
Just like ringtones. Some people love them, others hate them and just want a simple ring. It's up to you. If you like custom voice mail greetings, then you'll love this one.
Other than selecting the greetings you like and assigning them to your frequent callers, all you have to do to enable or disable is it to set your no answer call forward from your carrier to the youmail number. *28-XXX-XXX-XXXX to turn it on and *38 to turn it off. It couldn't be any easier.

hmmm.. i'll definitely check it out then. thanks!
A lot of these features are available through google voice. (http://voice.google.com). Google also has an app for google voice to integrate visual voicemail with your phone. Worth checking out if you want a highly customizable v-mail service.
In order to setup your phone so that all voicemails go to your google voice instead of your sprint voicemail dial *28 + google phone number without the 1. it's a free service from sprint.
I have the perfect answer for uploading greetings!!!!
All you have to do is simply download youmail!!!! On your mobile. It works for all cellphones and you can do whatever you want to do. Any other way is simply ridiculous hahaha try it and spread the word!!!!!
Can anybody suggest a good bluetooth headset for MT4G?
How is SE MW600? I would like to know if anyone could see the song title in the set and whether all the volume up, down, next etc are working fine.

you could always google search "SE MW600 review" and see what people say. And if you want end users try punching in "amazon SE MW600 review" and see what they are saying.
Personally i use an older Motorola ear bud that serves the purpose.

I Work At best buy and I'm using the Plantronics 975 its a great device very comfortable with great noise cancellation
plantronics 855 is a great headset. a2dp stereo bluetooth and a removable earpiece.
I've been using mine with a Jawbone Icon (Rogue) and I haven't had any issues. It's light, stylish and very functional.
I don't know if these are the "best" but I have the Motorola behind the neck ROKRs, and like them.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875982253
imho
Plantronics Voyager Pro +
Willing to bet you one dollar paypal that it's the best bluetooth you've ever owned.
Reasons:
Gel air filled custom ear fittings *these actually screw on too , very impressive
long mic boom (so people can actually hear you)
not one person to date has said I sound like sh*t (FINALLY)
a2dp support
status updates by pressing power button (announces battery time remaining)
press and hold outer button, it calls a toll free number that you can configure on a website to hookup with your e-mail, it reads rss feeds, news.
I also work for t-mobile and I've used bluetooth headsets ranging from 29.99 to 199.99, some of them I thought were amazing (motorola backbeats) but the problem always came down to whoever I was talking on the phone saying
"dude are you on bluetoooth?"
me: yes
"you sound like sh*t"
me: YARGGGGG HOW MUCH MONEY DO I HAVE TO SPEND TO SOUND DECENT
Many beg to differ, but I've owned the same pair of rocketfish headsets for almost two years now...very good to me with many sweaty head days at the gym.

I know this is a late reply but I thought I would throw in my 2 cents on the topic.
I was looking for something to listen to music while at work (desk job), working out, etc.
I ended up buying the Motorola S305 from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002BH3I9U)
I have had these now since February and I am extremely happy with them.
PROS
Comfortable to wear
Decent sound quality
Easy to use controls
Phone headset is has good call quality. Others can hear me as if i'm on the handset
Micro USB charger, same as phone
low cost
CONS
Foam earpieces soak up sweat
no noise cancellation
Overall, for $35.00, you can't go wrong!
Plantronics seems to be the winner. I have both 925 and 975. Both are optimal and work fantastically.
Now my 925 is paired with my HD2, and the 975 with MT4G.
Are any of these recommended for both phone calls and for working out (sweat resistant)? I'm just mainly looking for headphones for working out minus the dang cord. Also if I get a phone call when I'm working out or shooting basketball, I wanna be able to answer without stopping.

bump... anyone have an opinion? Just waitin to buy one for some input from people who I actually trust lol
I've owned the Plantronics BackBeat 906 for almost a year and have had mixed results with both a G1 and a MT4G.
It can be so comfortable that I forget I'm wearing it. But sometimes the earbuds are loose, mostly when worn under bicycle helmet straps. Because it's loose, I can't hear music very well.
Audio sounds great. Convenient controls. Haven't figured out how to skip a song on Pandora or a podcast on Listen though. Clicking play sometimes starts a saved voicemail rather than Google Listen or Pandora. I'm not sure how to define the "default" media app in Android.
Paring is hit-or-miss. Often it pairs with just the phone audio and not the media audio. This happened more on the T-Mobile ROM than it does on Cyanogenmod 7, but still happens. The solution is a cumbersome opening of the BT settings, long-press the device, un-check and then re-check Media Audio.
Reception is good if the phone is within 20-30 feet (the advertised range.) Reception is horrible if the phone is in a pocket. I have a backpack with a very high pocket and that usually works, unless I turn my head to the left. It is VERY annoying.
Here's what I sent to Panasonic:
I own a G1 Android-powered phone and about 50% of the time when I turn on my BackBeat 906 it syncs with the phone audio, but not the media. Is there some trick to get it to sync with both?
Also, the reception is so poor that when the phone is in my pocket the audio drops out completely. I am tall, but much less than 30' tall.

Their response:
Please try a reset...press and hold the power button on the headphones....and while you are doing that, please connect the charger to the Backbeats until you see a blue or red solid light and then release the button.....let it charge for an extra 30 seconds and then try to use them
Also, delete the headset from your cell phone's list of paired devices. Once deleted, make sure to power your phone completely off. Then power it back on. (This will reset the Bluetooth stack in the BT software on the phone). Then re-pair the headset with your phone.
If this does not fix your issue, my suggestion is to try pairing the headset to another cell phone, if possible. If the issue continues with the second phone, you will need to replace the headset. If your headset connects properly to the second phone, then the problem may be with the first phone rather than the headset.

...did not help. I still struggle with piss-poor reception when the phone is in a pocket.
well what frickin good is a bluetooth headphone set if you can't have the phone in your pocket lol
Yes Rosebud1, it is extremely frustrating! It's fine sitting on a desk, but for cycling, running, or walking I would not recommend this headset.
Thanks for the reply. What horrible customer service too!!
Yeah, it was a pretty useless response. I suspect it's just a horrid design flaw that they know they can't fix, so sending the customer on a wild goose-chase delays the inevitable.
U should check out the jabra clipper. I use it when I work out n its awesome

Under a motorcycle helmet
I am looking for a bluetooth headset that will fix and work well under my motorcycle helmet. Any recommendations?
Hi
Do you have or know about an adapter of this characteristics that allow plug my custom headphones and keep the mic and central button function?
Im looking for use my bose IE2 headphones with my SGS2, but i dont wanna to lose the mic and button controls that have the geniune headset of galaxy S2, then i found this
http://dx.com/p/3-5mm-male-to-femal...one-volume-control-for-cell-phone-84cm-126278
and this
http://dx.com/p/simplism-3-5mm-male...-microphone-for-iphone-ipod-ipad-black-127001
When i plug my bose IE2 directly to the phone, all sounds great, but when i plug mi headphones to the adapter the sound is very very bad, only recover the true sound if i press the central button, and i just keep pressing the button to get the correct sound quality.
I hope not to be the one to have this type of need... ejejej :fingers-crossed:
Best regards
that would be a great acesorie, spetially if they make it with bluetooth support
Yes, but even without the Bluetooth support would be great to use custom headphones without losing the mic and the button.
I had one from "mobilnet" (very cheap) that worked (until I screwed cable after connector) ... iphone have switched last two pins (tip/ring/RING/SLEVE) - in original its left/right/mic/ground and in iphone its left/right/ground/mic so you get signal that go throught mic (I think - you can try to say something and it should change volume) ... if you short circuit with button it will play good ... open adapter and change last two cables (colors cant be for sure ) ... one should be connected to mic+r+l and one only to mic ... change them
(im trying to make adapter for this for two weaks at least but its hard to find 3.5 jack female)
in attachment is my mic control
(green + blue = left + right, yellow is sleve and red is for mic)
dont do that
The low quality of the DX products is just that, low quality. You can get such an adapter for the iPhone from more reputable brands, and while the volume buttons on a tri-button setup won't work, the middle one should. Alternatively you can make your own adapter by soldering a jack in place of the plugs on the mic/button cable you have. OR you can do what I used to do back in the iPhone 3GS days and open the Bose headphones and solder a new cable with mic directly to the speakers. If the IE2 are anything like the Bose IEMs I've done this to, it's not a hard thing to do.
Alternatively, there are Bluetooth adapters out there. The Jabra Clipper and the Nokia BH111 are two of the most interesting looking ones out there right now IMHO

you can use extension cord (for 4pin 3.5 jack) with changed mic/gnd or solder it in adapter (that is the easy way - finding cable with 4pin female is hero mission if you cant access ebay)

you mean like the samsung hs3000? the official bluetooth stereo headset has support for custom 3.5mm headphones, an integrated microphone, play, skip forward, backward buttons, volume control, ptt, equalizer and a clip to attach it to your clothes. it has everything you guys want and has been available all along.
I was looking for something like this too, the only options I could find were really cheap ones for a couple of $ or ones over £15 with crappy reviews.
In the end I found this and bought it because it was a decent price and the same brand as my earphones (jays)
It comes with a single earphone you can plug into it, or you can use any other earphone.
I also installed the JAYS headset control app from the play store and you can customise the controls from there.
If I understand what you are actually looking for...it's the HTC HS U350 headset. You can use plug in your own earphones to it, and has a functional control button (one). Works well with the SGS2 and pretty cheap.

how is build quality though?
ive used the griffin one called ''smart talk'' but that lasts about 1-2 months everytime and costs about £15
ive tried the cheap chinese ones but the microphone quality is abysmal even if they do only cost £3
ive tried a genuine samsung one but that had the connections wrong and quality was terrible untill you pushed the function button then it become normal but you couldnt control anything with the function button
iam thinking the jays one or the htc one look pretty good
i like wired controls as they dont run out of battery like bluetooth headsets and dont drain battery like bluetooth headsets
i need a solid one though because iam fed up paying griffin £15 every 1-2 months and iam a posty so use my phone all day as a music player and the mail bag can cause strain on the wire across my chest

hi mate,
where you bought this? i cant find it on ebay or other local shops, how is its quality build?
Thanks
I bought it in a phone shop in Hungary, but as I can see, you can buy it on amazon as well.
For me, one of these lasts for about 9-12 months, though I use them every day, phone in my pocket etc.
For what it's worth I had 2 Samsung extension cables lying around for older phones, where it would work miracles, but on SGS2 it simply acts up like almost any of these (blame Samsung for changing things around and making them incopmatible in a year or so). I feed up and bought me Jay a-Jays One+ and never looked back. Good build quality and good sound, mic working as it should and apk is doing the rest for my preference and usage.

I don't think I can comment on the durability of the jays ones yet since I've only had them for just over a month (since the end of may) but I've used them almost daily since I bought them and have had no problems yet.
again, i can only recommend the original samsung hs3000. it offers the most features of the available stereo bluetooth headsets with phone capabilities, and at about 20 pounds, it is just as cheap as those lousy 3rd party aftermarket headsets but obviously is much better.
i have had it for about 7 or 8 months now and the battery life is still great. with 1 hour of music a day and another 1-2 hours of connected standby with the occasional call i can get through almost a week without recharging (if only the same thing were true with the phone itself ).

its a nice headset dont get me wrong ive owned two of them however the call button is huge and it always accidently calls someone for me because there is no lock on the call button and it is so easy to press by mistake , the amount of people i called by mistake was unreal
also the battery life isnt the best , about 6 hours mx music playback , bearing in mind i can work an 11 hour day , it wont even make it through a working day for me playing music all day (iam a posty and music all day is vital) so that means that iam then carrying around a bluetooth headset that has no battery and leaves me with a phone and headphones with no mic which is pretty useless for a handsfree situation
yu may love the samsung bluetooth adapter and thats great but for me it wasnt what i want/need and was pretty much useless for me if it cant even make it through the working day and that call button is huge and right on the front where it can easily be pressed
so yep its a nice bluetooth headset if thats what you need but i think the o/p and people like me no it exsists , dont like it or it doesnt fit our needs and we want a wired adapter so we can use our own headphones yet control our music and speak through them as well iam sure if we wanted a bluetooth headset then the thread title would be different dude
have nice evening and thanks for the suggestion again but its just not what we are after
ah, ok. i didn't know you already had it. i thought my previous post was overread and i thought to suggest it again
you are right, the big call button and some other minor things might not be for everyone. although, if battery life was that bad for you, i would suggest plugging the original headset with microphone in the hs3000, so you'd have bluetooth as long as it lasts and still having a 2nd option. without carrying 2 separate sets of earphones.
however, it is too late now apparently.

Hello,
I have the aforementioned headset for my Sony Xperia S and i would like to know how(in which order) are the cables connected directly on the jack.
This is because my one earbud went dead but when i rewired the cables now the button of the headset doesn't function normally(ex. Change songs, take calls etc.) it only amplifies the sound for as long as it is pressed.
Thank you in advance
From your description, I think you've wired backwards the mic and the ground wires, which go to the first two rings from the sleeve to the tip.
But, depending where you live and giving the price of this model, it might be easier to just go buy a new set of headphones.

Thanks for your reply i will try that. Yeah it costs about 8 euros a piece but still since i keep tangling my earpiece resulting in it getting cut, i keep fixing them till i can't repair them anymore.
Anyway thanks a bunch
