High End "over the head" headphone

Hi, I am looking for a good headphone to use with my HTC Touch Pro and my laptop. I will use it together with rc e100 or w100.
Very good sounds
Possible to fold to fit in a big pocket.
Over the head
Nothing or not much leaking of sounds
Possible to use in light sports like heavy walking
Good for music like classics, string instrument and Rock. Ofcource a lot of others to...
Good sound when making calls both for me and the second part
Today I user a Porta Pro headphone but I would use to get better sounds and less leaking.
I have looked (on the Net) at Sennheiser PXC300. I think the PXC350 or PXC450 would be to big?
Does anyone have suggestions for me?
I'm sorry for bad english...

Plantronics 590
Everything you asked for plus stereo bluetooth so you can have great music and crystal clear conversations. I would suggest the A package vs the E package as more comes with it.
If you don't know who Plantronics are - they are the mother company of Altec Lansing. They know sound.

They are unfortunately not manufacturing any more. I have lissened to them. I think that is the best you can get from bluebooth. I have looked for simulare BT headset but can't find any. Therefor I think I have to get a wired one.

I've got an extra pair (unopened) on deck I can sell you, but you would have to pay the shipping. Also Mennesysis wrote a great piece on Bluetooth A2DP headsets here on XDA. Search it and it should pop up.

decided to flash.... nice looking rom.
Cannot send MMS!!! regular text is find, but pics do not work... wifi or 3g. I think it is incompatibility with popcorn v4 based and v6 based roms.
Also the wifi toggle doesnt work correctly, it always stays highlighted.

The best smart watch for the One X

I was initially intending to purchase Sony's Smartwatch, but am concerned by it's compatibility with the One X - does anyone here own both products?
Upon further research and am now thinking this may be a better alternative: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/597507018/pebble-e-paper-watch-for-iphone-and-android/
What do you think?

I'm a backer.
Think that thing is going to be amazing...

Only thing putting me off is that it won't be out for another 6 months and I'm very impatient

cool, hopefully out for my birthday in Oct, looks awesome

Personally, if I was going to get a "watch" for my phone, I would go for this:

I want this too, but there's no guarantee on the release date. Last time this company did a kickstarter it took them almost a year to produce and ship the device. More info on the on the phonedog website.

looks really cool

Tempted to get one of these

Let's wait
This one is VERY expensive!!!
I think I'm going to wait for the Pebble smartwatch as an ultimatum, and if something worthy comes out in the meantime, I'll get it.

The sony smartwatch DOES work just fine with the HTC One X, but it does not support email notification for HTC's email app as each vendor makes their own email app. I am sure at some point someone will come up with an HTC compatible notifier as it has an open API. Someone has written one for Gmail.

motoactv
i use a motoactvhttps://motoactv.com/ this the best option if your the sporty type its the only one that has gps and it link up to hart rate,speed and step sensors as well as your phone. it also has 8 or 16 gig for music.

You guys havent come across this one yet ...
HAVE YOU

Hev you read the OP?

I know every technology needs it's first users... But isn't this a little soon for that type of things ?
My points are :
- My new One X with a quadcore, a camera,etc... will be thinner than my watch
- Having to reload it every night or so will be a pain
- It's ridiculously expensive
- What will it bring ? If you see you have a mail or a SMS, you'll check it on the large beautiful screen of your phone
(BUT, if they were less expesive, I'd definitively buy one of thoose )

Yep I ordered the Pebble, I know people with the Sony Smartwatch and the imWatch, which are ust too big and need frequent charging. The Pebble is most importantly a watch with other functions secondary.

I just bought the Sony ericsson LiveView watch.
What a crap! Don't buy.. Loosing connection intermitently..
Perhaps im not using SE phone, that's why..

LiveView's the old version? Do you mean the smart watch?

There are no intermittent connection issues with the Smartwatch. The original Live View watch DID have lots of connection problems even with Sony Ericsson phones!

just put an order in for the sony smart watch

stay away from Sony Liveview. Tons of problems...

[Bounty] Fm Radio and Transmitter

As you may know the Galaxy Nexus sports a Broadcom BCM4330 which is capable of Bluetooth, Wifi, and FM tuning and transmitting. I hereby propose a bounty for a hardware/software modder to make these functionalities work. As of now the need for an internal antenna is a major hurdle for some people. I personally don't mind opening up my device and installing one as long as there are clear instructions on how to do so.
I am willing to donate $400 USD to a dev that can get either transmitting or receiving working

I think it is a neat idea.Good luck..I'm not the developer.

Does FM work with headphones?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA

Your wanting to do this for transmitting purposes and not so you can listen to fm radio right? Because you can use TuneIn Radio for FM.

I also would like to see this because of several reasons. First, streaming apps need internet (obviously) and I don't have data. I run on prepaid and only use wifi at home and school to save money (I'm a student). Second, FM radio was the one thing that one of my friends required for a new phone. Obviously I want him to get the great Galaxy Nexus.
If anyone would be able to get this working with either an internal antenna, or (more ideally) using the headphone wires as an antenna, that would be great.

Hi,
Sorry if I did not clearly understand all,but maybe take a look at this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059296&highlight=fmradio
But it seems it's not possible:
These devices will likely never be able to support FM with Spirit or any FM app:
- Google/Samsung Galaxy Nexus

@DroidMahn:if you talk about the FM radio (listening).

That would definitely be awesome. I don't have an Aux port or a tape player in my car so I always wanted to be able to just tune my radio to a channel and hear music from it without plugging my phone into anything.

clarified my post xD

Very interesting, hopefully someone gets this working.

I'm in the exact same boat...erm, crappy car. Badass phone, POS car.
The stock head unit is integrated with dashboard so its not easy to swap a new one.
Also willing to open up my Gnex and solder to test an antenna, just need an EE to tell me which leads....

Wouldn't make more sense to buy a bluetooth FM headphone and an FM transmitter?

Or something that have both functions like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Monster-Radio...OO/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1337776603&sr=8-11

$400?! You ARE such a generous gentleman.
I really hope this going to happen. I hate to use radio apps to listen to music due to my 2GB Highspeed Cap. FM receiver/transmitter feature is needed.

I'll throw in $40 to make it happen. I just want as many features as possible

I brought a wireless FM Transmitter for £10...I don't get it :/ All seems hassle for a few quid and a bit of shopping...

Lol
Ill sell you my droid x2 that has fm radio working in it for $400
From my nexus tappin the talk
<edit post successful>

I've bought an FM-sender that plugs into the cigarette-lighter-output in the car, which connects to the phone via 3.5mm jack. The sender also has output for USB, which lets me charge the phone at the same time. I payed 150 NOK for that, which is about $30. Should be something like that in your american Wallmarts as well!

The phone is capale of transmission on the fm band by any developer so inclined to create it. This is the very essence of nexus class development. If your solution to the bounty on this thread is to suggest buying external hardware , you are really missing the point .

Don't think its the bounty anyone is interested in, just why the bother and hassle when external solutions exist at a fraction of the price? Very capable ones at that.

But the whole point of the thread is to unlock the full capability of the hardware we own.
Not to buy another product to do a job that in theory our phone can already do.
I have a feeling its a big job and next to near impossible to accomplish but I'm willing to throw some money into the pot if a dev gets this done.
Just to prove it can be done at least.
This kind of thing is why I love android and nexus, doing something that isn't supposed to be done.

Don't get me wrong, I love seeing happen that, by rights, shouldn't. That's the joy of Android. All I'm questioning and wondering, and not in a bad way just a quizical way, I'm assuming the op is throwing in $400 to encourage the development of the FM transmitter. If so, why a relatively large amount for a device that can be brought for a fraction of the price? Is there really a $390 benefit to have it built in?

[SEAT] Leon: Mark 3

Hi guys,
Hope I am not wrong in posting this thread, if I am then just remove it.
I have a SEAT Leon mark 3 and ever since I bought it the infotainment system has not once been updated in regards to software. It does have a software update section but it doesn't say anywhere to check for updates. I have tried google and cant find anything, any help please?
Thank you.

my gf "just" got a leon (2014 facelift) too, nice drive by the way.
why do you want to update anthing? i think updates will only be distributed if there is a really big error in the device/software ... and there will (in my experience) NEVER be new features for something they already sold ... buy a new car in 3 years is the deal here
by the way the speed recognition is a major pain as its extremely slow ... everything else is OK from what i can tell.

I don't know im that kind of person that always wants the latest stuff but i understand where you said it will update only if it is broken.. no worries and yes, brilliant drive.

actually i meant to write *SPEECH* recognition instead of speed ... sorry for that
anyway yeah ive seen some VWs with friends & family, big/small nav-devices. never a really up-to-date functionality, CPU almost always too slow if you are used to a top smartphone/tablet ... but the units work for some good 10 years.
the future belongs to mirrorlink or whatsoever its called, smartphones are just faster and are being replaced at least every 2 years by the user.
cheers!

Hi guys, just a question about BT connection, probably It's the same on all BT system, I don't know, but why It's not possible to connect two devices (for example 2 smartphone) at the same time?
I have to switch and connect only one of them every time, It's a BT protocol or depends from SEAT software?
Thank you!

it is only possible to connect one (1) device at the same time.
i do not know if it is a BT protocol thing or just a restriction in the SEAT software, but it is the same with pretty much every headunit i know... (VW/AUDI/SKODA/SEAT, Mercedes, BMW, Alpine, Clarion, Pioneer...)
i guess it is like that because modern BT connections also get the phonebook and 2 simultaneuos connections would mix that up ...
in my opinion this makes perfect sense unless you really need 2 phone personally.
start thinking about a dual-sim-phone if you really need this.

Humm.. maybe!

The updates for the car radio is bringed by seat, but at the moment, seat no have updates.
Also, Seat is oferring a new model of radio card with mirror link

As a person who works in the automotive industry, I can only tell you that most, if not all updates are only possible in a service. On another note, updates rarely, if ever, bring new features.
So the only thing you could do is go to your local official VW service (or one where you know someone) and ask for an update. Be prepared to pay some good $$$ for getting a few (unnoticed) bugs squashed.

Here you can find the software updates for your 5F w w w.clubseatleon.n e t/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=118140, it's a spanish froum, use translator

well if anyone need i found a update for the mib 1 and the mib2 screens
it can update to version 480 for the mib 1 and 0330 for the mib 2
you can find the interstions and the files in the link below
have fun and thanks would be welcome

Random Question.
I updated my 5F0 MIB1 Unit to 480 in early January but since then my TMC Traffic hasn't worked - That's the "Traffic Button" it just contantly says "No Reports Found" but a guy 10 miles away receives loads.
Any quick fixes for this?

Hello, can someone post that 480 SW file for download, all the old loinks are dead...

Bluetooth?

I love the phone but.... There is ALWAYS something or other that doesn't work the way it's supposed to.
Bluetooth is a pain in the b+*#!
I have never been able to get it to work consistently. WiFi cuts in and out when it wants to etc.
It's a great phone but for international it is several steps behind the OnePlus.
Anyone else having trouble?

Yeah. When I use Bluetooth wifi has some issues. I had this also with previous xiaomi phone.
Sad that they've put such a low quality wifi-Bluetooth module into a flagship smartphone.
