Just purchased the above headset with the charging case which you plug into the headset via USB.
I can't seem to find any information on whether you can still use the headset while it's plugged in to the charging unit, though I suspect that you can't after I tried to do so. The control buttons seem to become inactive. But do I wonder whether there is another button combo that I haven't tried. In any case, does anyone have any thoughts on this?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all.
Just wondering if anyone can help please?
I have an HTC Universal also known as the i-mate jasjar.
I recently have been looking for a headset that works well with this device so bought a Jabra jx10.
Unfortunately it appears this headset isn't totally compatible with the htc universal.
can anyone recommend a headset that has the following features?
As a visually impaired person I need a headset that makes a beep or plays a tone when the headset is turned on or off.
Some of the bt headsets out there only flash a light when turned on or off and this unfortunately doesn't work for me due to my visual impairment.
I was told the motorolla headsets work well with the universal but can't verify this.
Has anyone tried a Jabra jx10 with the htc universal?
I'm also after a small headset that clips on to your right or left hear and is easy to pair and setup.
also can anyone tell me if the headset supports the headset profile?
This option for some unknown reason doesn't appear after pairing up a headset with the universal even though the manual says it should.
I've been searching for months to find a headset that works well with the universal so any info or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
I can recommend the logitech traveller. It is inexpensive, works well with the jasjar, makes a beep when turning on and a different one when turning off, has a good noise cancelling system.
I am however currently using the Nokia HS-12W, which is a stereo headset that hangs from your neck. It also makes a beep. I have to admit though, that at least for my ears the original earbuds did not work and I had a hard time understanding anything probably because the sound did not get into my inner ear. I "transplanted" the excellent Sennheiser CX300 earbuds and now I feel I have an outstanding headset that allows me to listen to music in an unexpected quality.
Hope this was helpful to you.
I can't find a simple friggin BT A2DP reciever for my application.....
I want to be able to listen to music and calls over BT plugged into the auxillary port on my van's stereo head unit. I need a BT reciever with a 3.5mm output: I have found the opposite (a transmitter to plug into your mp3 player). I don't need LCDs and buttons and controls, etc.
And if I buy a A2DP headset (speakers only), how does WM use a mic during a phone call? Does it use the phone's mic, or will it just not let me use it as a handsfree for phone calls?
TIA!
This what ya looking for?
I use this plugged via 3.5 adapter to aux in my 5.1 surround

That was actually on of the units I was looking at.
Will that run plugged into the charger? I know alot of BT stuff disconnects while charging. I would prefer to just leave it plugged into the charger (turns on and off with the ignition).
Thanks!

If its A2DP only, WM will route all aspects of the call back to the phone, so you'll have to either hold your head to the phone, or use speaker phone... but either way no phone call sound will come from your van, except for the initial ringing.

Actually, when I have my DS200 plugged into my 5.1 surround, I can call people AND hear them through the speakers, suggesting that you do hear people. Am I right in thinking your van will be the same concept?
And yes, you can have it plugged in and running simultaneously

All right, I am not the only one who is looking for the solution.
I searched ebay thoroughly and asked sellers the same question about running while plugged into the charger. Got the same answer - 'no'. If it is not a mandatory feature, you may try ebay, DX for cheaper (within $15) solution.
At some point, I was also looking for an MP3 player which turns on-off with ignition and has an audio out. FM transmitter delivers very poor performance, as it is impossible to find an unused frequency for a trip as short as 30min. I was out of luck there. Then I thought about BT solution. Nothing good there. Now I use a used WM Standard phone (bought from, again, ebay for ~$7). Of course, it has to be manually turned on and the unit has scratches all over, but the S/W features and sound quality are awesome.

That's b/c the DS200 is not A2DP only, it also supports the handsfree protocol. Certain receivers are aimed at only transmitting music, and thus they only support A2DP. If he wants calls to go through the speakers on his van, he should avoid those types of receivers.
Hi,
Is it possible to change tracks playing on the device by using the handsfree? It pauses and changes volume, but doesn't change... tried double and triple taps even...
Regards.

my Jabra Halo will usually do it, not if the connection doesn't go through correctly, sometimes I only get play/pause sometimes I get a2dp & play/pause, other times I get a2dp and full remote control.
I blame the headset though since it isn't very consistent even with things like letting you know when it is charged or needs a charge.
I ordered the Jabra Rythm corded handsfree and also the Jawbone Icon bluetooth... hopefully both'll allow this. But what i don't understand is why we can't do it with the out-of-the-box HTC headset/handsfree?
I've got so many AC>Micro or Mini USB adapters and I'm using the USB Cables from my HD2 & Nook, so the accessories are still sitting in the box never touched, other than looking at the AC adapter through the plastic to see if the design was cool, it's not.
HTC's trained my not to expect anything good from the headsets, just cracked the box again to see if the earbuds look any more comfortable than past devices, marginally so, left in the plastic looks like they'd hurt after a while, maybe they sound good.
Hi
I'm looking for a bluetooth carkit/speakerphone which doesn't require installing anything. Something to plug and never look back at while it just does its thing every time I get in my car.
I'm looking for something that powers itself on when I start the car, the 12v plug can be used.
Any hints?
Thanks
No one?
Can anyone tell me if jabra sp700 or parrot minikit slim can auto power on if the engine starts?

My stock headphones broke and I wanted a replacement, but a nice sounding ones.
Went to a local store, asked for a headset with remote and they showed me an Aiaiai Tracks (these have mic+volume control), but, as many of you may know, the "iPhone" headsets aren't compatible with the XPlay, and so I was getting an "Accessory not supported" error.
I researched a bit, and finally got a CTIA<->OMTP adapter, returned to the store and surprisingly the headset still not worked, I was no longer getting the error but no sound came from the headset, in fact, seemed like my phone didn't detect them since the music played trough the loudspeakers. Then asked an employee if they had a similar ones and gave me a Marshall Major (just mic and the central button), plugged with the adapter and worked just fine, the mic, the button...
Nevertheless I prefer the sound of the Tracks over the Major and I think that the only difference on their connections is the volume control since they are both "iPhone compatible".
Can anyone explain me how can I get them to work?, I don't mind if the volume buttons don't work, just as far as I can use the mic and the central button.
I think I got the answer
Well, I stumbled upon a fix from a Xperia Ray owner at the sonymobile.com forums:

I also bought a Fiio LU2 Smart Adapter Cable, and I had it all packed up to return it, when I read a review on amazon.co.uk from a guy who said he taped down the button on his mic line and that made it work. So I tried holding down the in-line button on my headset, and voila, it works...in a sense. Here is what I have and did:
Xperia Ray and Bose MIE2i headset. The headset alone gives the "Accessory not Supported" message. Headset with Fiio LU2 just plays through phone speakers.
Plug headset into Fiio LU2 Smart Adapter Cable.
Get a piece of audio (mp3 or whatever) ready on Ray.
Hold Down the main button on the in-line headset controller and keep holding it down.
Plug Fiio LU2 Smart Adapter Cable into Ray.
Start audio on Ray for at least 5 seconds -it plays through headset-
Release headset button.
You can stop the audio if you wish. Headset will continue to function.
The audio and mic will function for me on my headset until I unplug it. I haven't tried powering the Ray all the way down, but the headset stays working even after waking from standby. None of the in-line headset controls will work for me.

The downside is that it appears that the central button won't work this way .
Also, I recently flashed an ICS rom, so I'm not sure if I still have this issue.
Once I get my adapter (lost the one I got earlier) I'll update this post, just in case anybody cared
