[Q] Sennheiser MM550

Friends, I own a sennheiser mm550 a wireless headphone,
however I found that my note could not detect the headphone.
I need advice, do i need to install a certain bluetooth driver to make it compatible with a Galaxy note, or is it because of yamaha codec? are there any workaround?
product details :
Technology Bluetooth® 2.1 + EDR / supported profiles: A2DP + AVRCP + HSP + HFP
I certainly hope that I could use it on the note because it pairs fine with all of my ios devices
thanks much!

Works here (TM)
I own both the GNote, and the MM550, and both are working just fine.
Nothing installed, using the 2.3.6 Samsung rom.

Have you already paired it with another device?
If so, check your manual on how to un-pair it with the previous device.
Seems stupid, but i had the same ''problem'' with a nokia headset..
Just saying.

Yes, i've paired it with several other BT devices (Car, other headphones, etc)

i had problems with a discovery 975 and a nokia stereo bh504 but i solved it installing winamp, i think its the stock music player that have issues with some bt earphones.

That is something completly different
It just so happens, I’m not using the stock player at all
I'm using Google Music, RadioParadise streamer, and SiriusXM streamer.
I've also tried to use DeadBeef, but it appears it crashes when I’m trying to use it with BT. I'm assuming that the problem is with the player, and not the other way around.

OMG, thanks, it worked!
thanks for everyone who replied, much appreciated, now i can get the best sound out of my note!

Glad you solved your BT issue. I had a similar problem and was saddened mine would not work at all. I struggled with the idea of returning a possibly defective Note.
After some google searching for the headset connectivity issues, rather than Note connectivity issues, I found the solution. You may have found a similar solution, but I wanted to post mine here for any future Note user who might be fretting how to solve their BT connection issue.
The problem was indeed a pairing issue. Since my BT headset, a Plantronics Backbeat 9XXX, was already paired to my Vibrant, the Note did not even detect the headset. I tried rebooting the Note, toggling BT on/off, rebooting the headset.
I managed to pair the Vibrant to the Note, and successfully transferred several files, so was relieved to discover the Note was not the culprit.
Solution? For my headset, all I had to do was power the headset off, then back on again, but hold the power button while powering up for an additional 5 seconds or so. This cleared out its memory and unpaired it from the Vibrant. The Note picked it up instantly and everything works optimally now.
The Note's audio quality is pretty good for these almost audiophile ears. The only glitch I do notice, however, is an annoying on/off whoosh or clicking noise... Overall, I'm fairly satisfied with the Note's audio performance.

I can't say the same thing. Take a look here.

I also don't like the sound quality at all.
I come from an Iphone and a Nokia N-900. The note has by far the worst sound of them all. At least when it comes to music. With Podcasts (of course) the note (as any device) will cope just fine.
An Excellent device in all, if it weren't for the sound quality.

iPhone sounds is only average at best. It seems obvious you have no idea what you are going on about.

Note + PowerAmp + MM550 will get you a very nice sound, try it.

Suggestions for a BT enabled Car Deck

Alright, just got a new used car.
For my current phone (Captivate) and any future phones/tablets I buy (Nexus/7) I just wanted to know which decks that anyone out there has been using that works well for calls and playing music.. My BT Motorola T305 speakerphone is a bit spotty and would like to just integrate everything into the deck.
For reference, the devices will be plugged in while in the car, so power consumption is not an issue. Thanks all.

I have the alpine 136bt and it works great with my phone.

Whoops sorry I haven't responded to this. I'll definitely look into it thanks.

Jabras are usually the best for cars..try them out..

Dension Car Dock(nice design, power usb and audio line or FM) or bluetooth kit for stock radio.

I have only used Kenwood and Alpine decks.
The Kenwood has better noise cancelling external mic for calls. Problem with Kenwoods was the bluetooth features weren't the same across decks, as price went up you got more bluetooth profiles(say like A2DP). i.e low end deck has bluetooth for calls only, higher end had you could call and stream music with car stereo as output speaker without having to hook in a cable.
The Alpine was more of the same, didn't like the external mic as much. For Apple products which you don't have it had integrated Pandora to control the app from the stereo. My next purchase may revolve around how it handles the phone address book.

[Q] GS3 and Eclipse CD5030 - no BT audio

as the title states, I have connected the two devices and for some reason i couldn't hear the person i am talking with. But the person i called can here me loud and clear.
Troubleshooting done...
1. Connected an iphone4 and it does work. That means the TX/RX of my car stereo is working properly.
2. I then tried connecting my GS3 to a different bluetooth speaker, it is working proplerly. Making calls and streaming audio.
What should i consider looking for to find a fix? My doubts are the compatibility of the bluetooth. If it is, is it possible to fix it?
Thanks

I have a similar issue on my pioneer 80prs and eclipse mkii 7200 where tli hear them but they can't hear me... My phone mic gets used as the input method instead of my decks mic.... Never solves it and it only started doing this once I got to jelly bean back on my galaxy nexus
Sent from my SGH-T999

I see. Well i have tried loading a different rom thinking that was the case and sadly still does the same thing. The only weird part was i can hear all the touch sound on the phone thru the car's speakers but when call/music is initiated you can't hear nothing.
I have found a solution by selling the HU and getting a new one. This time i will be asking the seller if it is compatible or not.

[Q] Fix Poor Audio Quality Over Bluetooth?

Switched from the Nexus 5 to the G3 last week. Love it so far, but noticed that the audio quality over Bluetooth is horrendous in comparison to my previous phones.
This is connecting to my 2013 Honda Civic. Previous phones that sounded great in my car were the Nexus 5, HTC One, and Note 3. The G3 sounds really bad. At first I thought it was because I was streaming music, but I tried local content with the same results. Anything base-ier or heavy just sounds muffled/distorted when the song gets loud. It pretty much sounds like a really low-quality stream.
Is there any way to fix this or is it just an issue with the phone?

Okay, thanks?
After testing it seems more so that when my Moto 360 is unpaired the quality goes back to normal. My guess is that the phone itself is having the issues, not my car.

Same thing here. Quality sounded like a low bit rate, compressed and distorted. Old M7 sounded great, so I knew it wasn't my head unit.
Read this thread and tried disconnecting my Gear Live watch, and got a much better sounding stream. Kind of a crappy trade-off. Hopefully it's something that can be ironed out with a software update, and not an actual hardware limitation on the BT module in the G3. Like I said, my old HTC One M7 handled both without issue.

My M8 had some weird BT audio issues at launch, but an update a few weeks later fixed it. Hopefully this will be the case with the G3. Is there any easy way to re-pair an Android Wear watch? When I unpair it on my G3, I end up having to fully reset the watch to put it back into pairing mode.

Same Issue
Did you find a fix?
Im having the same issue with my LG G3. I have a 2009 Acura TSX. Verizon told me today that my phone is not compatible with my car because my car's bluetooth is out of date. I am skeptical because it works fine just sounds crappy.
Anyone else having issues? Im going to investigate further. If other peoples Verizon G3 does not have this issue, then Ill know it was lies.

Viper4Android makes a nice improvement in the quality once you get it tweaked properly. Made a dramatic difference in my car and over my BT headphones.

I have a 2010 TSX and it works perfectly with my g3 (D851). Sounds great

Does your tsx have the navigation package? What about your phone is it Verizon ?
I'm going to call Verizon again. Really bugs me. Love the phone other than this.

I've paired with my Car and a Sony Shake stereo. Both sound great, especially the Sony.

I am having the same low quality issue with the BT audio on the G3. I was using the M7 and it sounded great. I tethered the M7 off the G3 and used the M7 BT through the car stereo just to make sure I was not imagining things. There is a huge improvement in audio quality when using the M7 BT as opposed to G3 BT.

Eonon GA8162 - Only one speaker working when using music apps or BT

Hi,
Fairly strange issue and it's quite lengthy so bear with me. 3 weeks ago I had my Eonon GA8162 head unit professionally installed and I believed everything was fine. Controls worked, reversing camera, google maps and I was getting sound from all speakers using the radio. However, once I got home and installed Google play music I realised I was only getting sound from the front left speaker. The front right and rear left were extremely low about 5% of the front left, and there was no sound at all from the rear right. I tested this with a few other music apps and the results were identical. I then tried bluetooth, first a phone call and sound was produced correctly in both front speakers. When using bluetooth music, the sound issue returned affecting the same speakers. Lastly I tried a CD and sound played in all speakers, albeit it slightly lower in the rear speakers.
To add more fun to this tale, a few days later I was driving and listening to Google music with the speaker faults and an hour into my journey the front right magically also started to play at full power. The rear speakers were still low but I had sound in the two front speakers and that was an achievement!! I had an appointment back at the car stereo shop the same day for them to investigate, so went along anyway. Turned the engine off, went in the store, came out to show them the miracle, started the car and the sound problem was back again. In the three weeks of owning the stereo the front right has magically corrected itself only once more, failing again after the engine is turned off completely.
I've tried all the obvious things- the balance settings, soft reset, hard reset and today Eonon sent me a software update to fix it and it's still the same after installing it. In fact it's worst as I'm not getting any noticeable sound from the three struggling speakers unless at extremely high volume and even then it's a struggle to hear something. All the speakers in the car are stock, there isn't a subwoofer or external amp and the Eonon headunit replaced the stock stereo. The stereo is plug and play more or less, so there were no wires to figure out. I have seen comments pop up here and there about doing something with the Amp CTR wire, but that seems to be for people who have external amplifiers. Am I missing something or am I looking to deep and it's just a faulty unit which needs to be replaced?
Any help or advice with this appreciated.
Thanks

i have the same unit ( is for Ford Mondeo , right ? ) and i have instaled by my self ....in your place , first i will check if with the original stereo car the speaker works well . If its work , in my opinion , the Eonon unit is definitely faulty . If they work the same way , problem is with the speaker or wires ... i have it problem with the front speaker also and i replaced with a after market one ( Blaupunkt ) some time ago ...

Hi GabiDan. I've since agreed to return the unit with Eonon. It's taken an age to get to this point due to the time difference, their 'interesting' replies and needing to satisfy the various troubleshooting bits they wanted me to do.
Up until this point I'd done the following- soft and hard reset, completely unplugged the unit and reconnected it and most recently installed a patch provided by Eonon. None of which worked. Since removing the Eonon unit and reconnecting the factory Ford 6000CD stereo, sound is fine out of all speakers. So it's definitely a faulty Eonon unit. Everything else was completely fine with the unit, none of the woes I often hear about i.e. sat nav, reverse camera and so on.
Hopefully I have better luck with the replacement unit. Will keep you posted.

Replacement stereo received and all is well. Thanks

Hi guys
I am thinking of buying this unit for my mondeo 2012.its the facelift model and i am considering if it will fit. My radio is the ford 6000cd so i am pretty sure it will fit. My dash is the black colour not the silver on the old models. Does anyone have the facelift model?
Is it a good unit as it shows or are there any known problems? Thanks for the help

Hi just read about your sound problems ,I'm having the same issue with a different model of eonon (GA7153A) the interesting thing is that it is a completely different cpu and it is different version of andriod . its got me worried that they can send me a new one. Is your replacement still working?

According to Eonon's website, it only supports stereos in Mondeo models between 2008 and 2011. Double check on their website or the attached screenshot to see if the stereo you currently have installed is the correct one.

The replacement stereo has been absolutely fine. My sound problem hasn't returned and I haven't experienced any of the common issues spoken about with defective units.
I think all in all, the process of me retuning the item and receiving my replacement took about 7-10 days. Maybe less.
Go for it and the sooner the better. As they'll ask you to do diagnostic tests, try a firmware patch to fix it, etc. Before you get to the return stage.
