Hi, I have used SBH50 for a long time and recently I managed to get a 2nd one. But now the problem is both devices are shown as "SBH50" on my iPhone MY devices list. I cannot differenciate them.
Is there any way to remotely or using a USB connection to change a bluetooth device like SBH50 (Or any bluetooth device like BT speaker)?
THanks!
FYI, this is neither a forum section for bluetooth headsets on iPhones or a forum secrion for iPhones, but one for the accessories for the Sony Xperia S, Acro S and Ion phones. This isn't a good place to ask such a question.

Ok so this is my first post here, so if I drop a clanger, please bear with me.
I've got an HTC Wizard (T Mobile Vario etc) but there is something I'm really missing.
Does anyone know of anybody that makes & sells a wired hands free kit with a built in FM Tuner? I would have preferred a built in FM radio in the phone (yes I know, I should have got an Atom), but I didnt & now I have to live with it.
I know Nokia & Sony Ericsson do external tuners for their phones. It should be easy with an Wizard because the only connections are via jack sockets.
I have turned EBay upside down looking for this type of thing, but all I can find are cheap looking plasticy things from China that run on watch batteries! I was looking for something a bit more up market.
I'm sure I can't be the only person in the world that
wants an FM radio bolt on for their Wizard!?
Or am I???????????????????????????????????????
you can get a fm radio sdio card which would add fm radio to all pda's with a sdio slot
the Wizard uses MiniSD, and as such won't work with any SD I/O cards. Afaik, you can't get an SD I/O > MiniSD converter either?
This is not good news. I too have seen the SDIO cards. I think all they do is bleed power from the device, rateher than being truely integrated. But never seen a mini SD devive
Anyone seen anything combined into a headset?????
Plenty of radios that are basically stuck on a plug and two earbuds;

But I don't know if they work together with the Wizard for e.g. voice commands (which I personally don't use, so doesn't matter to me)
Yes I am aware of the type of radio that you mention. As I said in my original post "I know Nokia & Sony Ericsson do external tuners for their phones". Problem is they dont have the correct plug to use with a wizard (ie 4 conector, 2.5mm jack plug) which is what you need to listen to MP3 music (for example) then maybe switch to a phone call & then listen to the radio all using the same headset. The Motorola one is close, but the pins on the jack plug are not correct Something like this would be great, ie a headset (with microphone) + a radio. Am I asking for too much?????

I guess you are
Could take some cutters and a soldering iron and work some magic with that :>
Hi, have a look on the following link, it is the one i am using.

N I C E !
It almost fits the bill. If only it could use the bluetooth connection to use the MP3 player on your phone (in stereo of course). I think I need one of these N*k*a (sorry I nearly swore) & A2DP. Assuming the T Mobile ROM ever turns up will A2DP work on a wizard?
Why is it that the BIG 3 phone companies look after their phones with good accessories? Come on HTC, your phones are great, but they need to branch out & support the phone range with some add on goodies.

You're right about that. I had an SDIO WiFi card for my magician. Whereas the battery would normally last a few days, it would be dead within an hour with the WiFi card in.
Hello any news on this yet?
Hi,
I have been searching around for something like this too. Unfortunately no luck.
Any of you guys find something interesting?
rohseq
Sadly not. I too am still searching the internet for something, but so far nothing that matches the criteria has popped up. Its becoming more & more annoying :x Every time I see something its a specific product for one of the big phone manufacturers. Clearly they put a value on selling accessories (presumably for a good profit) to enhance their phones, whereas most Windows powered phone owners are left to fend for themselves with stuff off fleabay.
Makes me wonder if its worth going down this route again So far I have had an original SPV, E200, C500, C550 & now a Vario (Wizard). Next time around I might go back to the big "N" & enjoy the benefits of buying something from a fully supported product range.
hi guys,
I lost my handsfree and wanted to know which alternative handsfree (wired) is compatible with the MT4G.
Out here, we dont have the MT4G (mine was an import), so I really have to look for different accessories to fit my phone.
It would be great to know, for example, if Nokia or Sony wired handsfree are compatible with this. Or even iPhone handsfree.
thanks in advance!

Call HTC they'll send you a new one, I've gotten 3 sent to me so far and you don't have to send the broken/missing one back.

Depends, which Beats? ControlTalk won't work, but with the Solos you get 2 cables. One works.
Look in the forum, as far as I remember this has been posted before but I can't find the post.
Now, to answer you, the short answer is not. And to clarify here's why:
SonyEricsson phones use a (jack) standard called OMTP (also does Nokia), while Sony phones (Xperia P, S, U, etc), Apple and almost every other company uses CTIA.
This obviously means that the headphones won't work, but...
The only difference between those two are the connection layout:
CTIA:
T-Left Audio
R1-Right Audio
R2-Ground
S-Mic
OMTP:
T-Audio Left
R1-Audio Right
R2-Mic
S-Ground
So to make them work you can buy or make an adapter that swaps R2 and S, or one that short-circuits both; the first kind will let you use the mic, volume control etc, while the other kind (a simple extension would do) won't.
Now, if you don't want to use ANY kind of adapter, not even a simple extension there's a way you can make them work:
It is supposed that once you push the central button on a headset (OMTP or CTIA, doesn't matter) what it internally does is short circuit R2 and S, so, if you manage to hold all the time the central button on your beats they should work, nevertheless the mic and so won't work either as their data goes through the S ring.
Being all that said here's an issue, even with the adapter they won't work, I'm not quite sure why, you can see my post about that issue, there I try to make work a headset like the beats on my Xperia.
I hope I helped you
I bought studio. It works.

Bro thanks for this suggestions but I didnt do anything but Studio works with no problem...

Oh, I see... sorry for my rant, I thought that you were talking about the ControlTalk enabled ones , since every 3.5 standard TRS headphone works with almost every phone .
Would a OMTP to CTIA concerter therefore double as a CTIA to OMTP adapter, following circuit logic, making OMTP work on my iPod Nano as well as CTIA on my PLAY?

Nah mate! The hardware restrictions will not allow you, no matter what kinda software you use.
CTIA & OMTP are two different hardware standards!

Beats seemed to work on my phone when I had cm9 but not on gingerbread. Although I might have fake beats: I'm not too sure.
My 2 months old XPERIA ZL headset is so pathetic that it already stopped working.. I will calim my warranty for the same.. however would any suggest me compatible headsets with this phone preferable skullcandy and Idance. or any other such headsets. whoever USED such headsets please comment below. it would be really helpful for ZL users here as well as me
I've done a search on these boards as well as web searches. Thought maybe you all could help me out here.
This isn't necessarily only S3 related, but since I'm connecting my S3 I figured this might be the right place to post my question.
I am using an S3 stock android 4.3 -Sprint (I know, I know... haven't rooted) and have purchased a Harman Kardon Onyx Bluetooth speaker. I'm extremely impressed with the sound of the speaker and want to get a second one, however I don't know if there is a way to send Bluetooth signal from one audio source (my S3) to two Bluetooth speakers at once. Not necessarily looking to get 'stereo' sound, but the ability to play the same audio in 2 rooms or on 2 speakers at the same time would be great.
Anyway, the only impractical solution I found is for the Note3 - basically you need 2 Note3's and then sync them to each other via an app and send each to one of the 2 speakers streaming the same audio. Not really what I was looking for...and I don't own a Note3, let alone 2 of them.
I do have a Gal Tab2 and Gal Tab 7510, but I'd like to be able to send from my handset if possible.
Any ideas? Maybe an app? Even creative ideas like a separate unit that will take the Bluetooth signal and split it to 2? Not ideal unless it's a small battery powered unit, but worth a shot. I'm open to ideas...
Thanks in advance!
