I recently invested in a Jabra BT200 Headset which i'm using with my i-mate. Generally speaking I find the quality of the call quite poor when I am more than 2-3 metres away from the handset. If the handset is in my pocket again I get quite bad crackling. I decided to check if the problem was with the Headset or the i-mate itself, I paired the headset with my sons Nokia N-gage and the quality of the call was excellent! I was easily a distance of 10metres away from the phone without any loss in the quality of the call.
Incidently, I do use the Metal Titanium case but during tests the i-mate was out of the case.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers!
Maybe your I-mate is faulty??, I get excellent reception and easily the full 10 metres with my Jabra BT300 headset, its no different with my T68 phone either,
Are you near a cordless phone or do you have a WiFi network around?, either of these could affect the performance of Bluetooth

I thought the case was aluminium?
Incidentaly, perhaps its a compatability issues between ur i-mate and the bt headset in question. Try a mates one , or ask if u can test one at a shop...
Sorry the case is Aluminium I was actually looking at a site the other day who make Titanium Cases to order and got a bit confused........
Im at my wits end regarding the headset issue, in terms of compatibility I dont think there should be an issue although I called a mate of mine who has the same devices and he is facing the same problem.
Do you think the Bluetooth Tools Software would help at all? And if so where can I download it from?
Cheers once again
Actually, the general reception of the Jabra BT200 isn't so great. In addition to my i-Mate, I also have an iPaq 5555 that supports the BT headset profile. When I listen to audio books while walking the dog (and the iPaq in a lower pocket on the same side jacket I have my Jabra on), if I turn my head to the right, the thing goes completely full of static. However, with a Motorola HS810 headset, no static problems.
Hi,
I need to automatically pickup on calls. However this doesn't work if a bluetooth headset is attached: I have to use the headset button.
Moreover, if I answer tapping on screen, bt headset deactivates!
If I`m not wrong U have this option in Start/Settings/Phone...and then click on More there U have to check the box saying:
Answer incoming call withouth pressing
And then U have to chose how many times do U want your device to ring before answering...
Hope it will help!
Regards,
Primoz
P.s. If I`m not wrong...U have to chose a short ringtone for this...!
I have already done this, but the phone doesn't answer itself. I choose classic.wav ringtone....
Update
I found autoanswer is not working at all :-(
Anybody issued this problem?
unfortunately, I have the same problem.
The auto answer function was only ever designed for the standard wired headset. It won't work for bluetooth headsets or speakerphone.

may be is some additional software to fix the problem with autoanswering? It is very big problem for me! because I use BT headset when I'm skiing with helmet on my head.

Yeah, the same with me. I used to use my NOKIA 6230 + jabra250. Jabra suites nicely under my Arai hemlet and I can ride my motorcycle and answer phone calls.
Any ideas what should be done?

Ok guys and Gals, I need a Bluetooth Headset, as my Cellink doesn't seem to work.
Any recommendations or a list of BT headsets that are being used by you all
TIA
tt 5 seams run ok even with o2 active installed hasnt crashed yet
I have a bluespoon AX which is very, very small, and makes me look less of a tit than using other large headsets or the Universal itself.
Thanks for the replies, I've also sent an email to cellink regarding this issue. If I get a reply I'll post it here.
Ok finally after a bit of a wait I have a reply from Cellink. they say it should be able to work, and since my last attempt I have got it to be recognised.
Unfortunately when the xda rings I can only hear very faint sounds coming from the headset, I've tried the volume controls on the headset and on the xda.
Maybe I'm missing something! anyone care to comment?
I've got a Motorola HS-850 and it works really well. I especially like being able to just close the fold-in mic boom and it switching the headset off completely. Can last well over a week without needing to be charged.
Cheers,
Smiff.
I have a Jabra BT800, so i can see number of incoming callers without open my JASJAR.
Have Fun
Hi all does anyone know if the xda exec supports Audio Gateway Profiles?

Are you saying that you can read the number displayed whilst the BT800 is on your ear? I tried holding a watch up in that position but couldn't read the dial at all - so went for the new thin Jabra BT500. Perhaps its just my tired old eyes.
I'd like to see a picture of that lol :shock: my eyes are aching just thinking about it

That's just what I thought. I couldn't see the point of having a display on the headset if I could only read the display before putting on the headset. Takes much longer to put on the headset, than it does to open the phone or lift the phone to your ear. And what would be the point of the display whilst you're driving?
There's another model, Sony or Motorola (?), that has a display on the outside of the headset - Just so that you can tell everyone around you who has phoned you. Duh! Seems even more pointless to me.
Will be the best... i suppose....

I use my old SE HBH 200 handsfree and so far everything is well. I use it cos the LCD display is not near my ear so I can see it very fast. http://www.infosyncworld.com/reviews/n/5488.html

oki doki, but to what extent functionality of BT 800 is for real ?
1. does it give you just the number, no matter, whether the contact IS IN the contact book already ? or it gives you the name instead of number ? assuming it is for already stored contact ...
2. what is the roughly distance between Exec and BT800 allowing for smooth operation and without strange noises ?
I am looking for good and fully functional BT headset for my Exec but as far as I am concerned there is a problem on BT800 with a/m functionalities
regards
I have a Sony Ericson HBH 662, and it works fine.
does anybody knows a BT headset that use the same mini USB of Universal for charging?

Hey! just wondering, what do you guys recommend for a good bluetooth headset for XDA exec?
I have the Jabra BT250V and find it the best for me, I have not tried any other brands other than the Bluespoon AX (that was to hard to get on in a hurry and allthough its small I found it looked stupid hanging out of the ear.
I have a Jabra BT500 and love the shape but am having problems pairing it with my Jasjar it was fine for a while then after an upgrade I couldn't pair it with the phone. I also found it to be alot harder to hear than the BT250v and I love the vibration in the 250V as you know weather or not the bluetooth is still active as it is a bit unrealiable on the Jasjar.
I'm really pleased with my Jabra BT800. Excellent battery life (2-3 days, 2 hrs per day), superb sound quality (and positive comments from people even when I'm in a noisy environment), good control with the built-in screen and plenty of buttons, comfortable etc.
Only restriction at the moment is the lack of caller name on the screen. Just have the caller's phone number at the moment. I think this is the Universal's fault though, and I fully expect it to be fixed with a ROM update.
Bluetooth is perfectly reliable for me on my XDA Exec with this headset. My old Sony HBH-65 was much less reliable: almost unusable.
I agree with Silicon the BT800 is a good headset and works for me okay with my Exec. But I have found the cheaper SE HBH-608 has a much better battery life (usually 5 days) and is lighter and more comfortable, but it does not have a LCD. A BT headset with a LCD is a must I think when using the Universal. The Caller id I think need the headset BT profile which I am not sure will be in the next ROM upgrade. Finally, I would also recommend you look at the Tekkeon ET3000 (if you are in the USA) and the latest SE headsets with advanced DSP and LCD displays.
I have the V3 BTH-8 OLED headset.. Sadly, it just shows the number but not the caller name for Dopod. Supposedly, it will be able to offer function to browse phone book thru headset, but I guess that's for other phones not for our wonderful phone
Globalsat BTH-818 . Much more moderate than the brick from Jabra. Otherwise same functionality (minus the vibrator). Much better battery time too.
Which one is the smallest bluetooth headset at this moment? I like small one.
I love my Sony Ericsson HBH-300 Akono headset. To be honest compared to some they make these days it looks quite large, but battery life is fantastic and sound quality amazing. I've never been a fan of the ones where microphone is nowhere near your mouth, but that's just me.
Oh and it's large enough so people can see I'm actually on a headset and not talking to myself, but not so large it's uncomfortable to wear (quite opposite!)
Great! Thanks for all your replies! I've placed an order for Tekkeon ET3000. It should be here by late this week or early next week. I'll see how that BT headset goes! 8)

I don't know about you, but I had this headset and only had issues with this particular one. Mainly static. It just did not sound great, even with the device only a foot away I had severe static. I don't recommend this unit to anyone. Even my wife stated that I sounded as if I were in a tunnel.
Everyone I've had stinks.
I cannot recommend anyone to you since every one I've had really caused severe static. I've had the Jabra BT 250v and it had static, I have the Motorola H700 and again, static. I don't know if it's my Qtek 9000 bluetooth stack or what, but I'm using a wired headset without any difficulties and the sound is incredible. I am fed up with fighting with the bluetooth headsets if I can get two of the most popular (and expensive) ones to work with my $1000.00 "phone."

Plantronics Voyager 640 and Jabra JX10.
I am somewhat "stuck' with a Motorola HS850 since it's the only one that works with MS Voice Command.
Motorola HS850 i been using, the boom is cool flick it in and out to answer/end calls. Its a good head set saves you from wearing it all day. It folds away nicely in you pocket and has decent battery life.
Only bad thing is though it takes alittle time to wake up once you lower the boom but always switched on works fine.
Hi
I'm using an (old) Sony Ericsson HBH200 and the big news is since i upgraded to the latest Orange ROM 1.30 (from Dopod 900), i can now get caller ID and access the phone call list from the headset. (PS:i have also a Jabra 800 and i did not manage to get the caller ID but i did not insist that much as i much prefer the HBH200). No need anymore to open my phone
cheers

You mean caller "NAME" or caller "NUMBER"? Which is showing? :?:
i've done some more test, it appears that the HBH give access to the call history including full names, phone number and date of outgoing or incoming calls.
Actually this is exactly the liste you can see in call history from the Universal.
That's something new from my former dopod ROM
On incoming calls, it seems that it still displays only the phone number not the full name, that is still to be confirmed for local numbers as i used internationnal call to make the test.
So what is the best way to handle the situation when you get a call while driving, and HD is mounted and being used as GPS? I tried the speaker phone option, but the caller can barely here me. Any better options? Thanks

But in this case, to here GPS voice instructions, I would have to ware it all the time?
i would imagine so? wouldn't you want that? you would be able to hear the instructions better...
BT headset works diff.
It´s great with a BT headset. I use my phone as GPS and it uses the speaker automaticly. When i get a call i just put myt headset on and take the call like allways.. The GPS software mutes the speaker while youre speaking and then aktivates again when your hanging up...
No problem..

Thanks. I figured this out: bluetooth headset works differently from bluetooth headphones. Headphones replace the speaker, so IGO talks through them. But headset does not - just what I need. Thanks a lot
