it's highly possible that this topic i'm posting has been discussed before and i do apologize in advance for bringing it up. but i do need some tips...
i need advise on which bluetooth headset to buy. i'm presently using jabra but i'm starting to get annoyed with the bonding-rebonding issues. if you noticed; once you shut down the headset (for charging or otherwise) or the bluetooth profile in the xda you have to go through the process of rebonding. the same holds when you use activesync; the bonding is lost.
with that; i'm in the process of buying a new headset and i'm after one that doesn't have the rebonding issues; regardless if you turn it off or activesync or whatever. did some research and so far have come across the following headsets. anyone using any of them; could you please give me some feedback if these indeed work properly with the xda2 AND does not have any rebonding issues. the present rom upgrades doesn't seem to address this issue...not that i'm not ungrateful or anything ..
bluetrek
plantronics
sony-ericsson hbh
c-tech
02 headset
motorola
nokia
sorry; don't have the model numbers; any feedback would be appreciated and if you have other headsets in mind do let me know.
cheers mates

Hi Robson,
I've had a Blutrek G2 BT headset for about 3 weeks now without any problems at all. I can't really compare it to any of the other headsets as it is the first one I have owned. The main reason I got it was the fact that it was very cheap (£38) and that its supposed to be the lightest headset you can buy. It looks pretty smart too!
As for battery life, I've charged it once since I'va had it (excluding initial out-of-box charge).
Thats my recommendation, mate
Oops, that price should have read £38.
hey munkee,
thanks, and to be honest i was considering bluetrek because it does indeed look smart. have a mate who can get one for me and i just needed some more info on it. did some web browsing and it looks to be tops. like i said i use jabra; quality is good but the bonding issue is starting to be a pain in the arse.
cheers then
robson
I hope someone is able to help me.
Okay I have the Wizard, upgraded to Wizard Mobile 6.
Shortly after, all my bluetooth devices (car kit, headset...) had their microphones die. In other words nobody could hear me when speaking through any kind of bluetooth.
I then flashed the Radio ROM to a different version, and bluetooth was repaired. But now the problem has returned for no reason.
Why does my Wizard's bluetooth audio in keep failing, yet its speaker works fine and I can hear other people?
Is there a recommended update to the Bluetooth Stack I can try?

I do have exactly the same problem. After flashing XDA Mobile 6 Release 3, microphone has worked for couple of days, and then suddenly died. Interesting, microphone is working with Notes but not with phone. I went back to
XDA Mobile 6 Release 2 for some other reasons (read: 2MB more free memory for critical application) but the problem with Bluetooth microphone remains. Radio is 2.25. Any advice?

There are also at least 3 people at the Wizard Mobile 6 thread with the same issue. Very surprised none of the experts here have been able to propose a fix. Makes the phone virtually worthless if you can't use it in the car etc.
As a workaround, I have found if you mute then unmute the phone volume, the issue is sometimes temporarily resolved for a short time. It always comes back though
I have been asked to join this thread. Per a PM:
We love the ROM you have provided, and are very thankful, however it was not until installing it that this issue arose. It does not seem fair to leave a number of people with a phone that is unusable for 'phone calls'.

I don't know what to tell you. If the rom doesn't work for you, then don't use it... Don't tell me its "not fair". I use MS Voice Command, and XM6r3 and have never seen this issue with my Bluetooth headset (Jawbone). I've also tested this out with a Plantronics Explorer 210 headset that I have and it has not problems with XM6r3 either. My A2DP headset (Spider) also works fine on XM6r3 with MS VC. I've stated this in the past when people have said they have BT issues on my rom. Sorry, but I can't reproduce it, so its hard for me to fix something that isn't broken for me.
Try this... Do a hardreset on your device (take a backup first if you want), then leave it as the base rom with NOTHING extra added. Run that way for a few days (how ever long it has taken before) and see if the problem happens again. If it doesn't then its not my rom but something being added to it (probably screwing with the registry someplace). If it does happen, then as I've stated before, I've seen a number of BT devices be flakey on WM6 (especially car kits). Try a different rom then. If someone with the problem can pin it down, I'll be happy to do what it takes to fix this issue if its something in the rom that is causing it.
Thanks mfrazz. What wasn't fair was not the bug, but that you had not responded to previous mentions of it, i.e. not fair to leave us with it. We love the ROM and put a lot of our life in your hands in a way, as we rely on our device so much for work and play. Hope you understand.
Now then, I have already tried a hard reset and the problem never occurs, until WM6 is put back on. Sure, 'use another ROM' is all very well, but we love yours - again, hope you appreciate the sentiment. If you're in a relationship, are you the kind of guy who tells a girl who loves you, 'find another boyfriend', or do you try to make it work
SO, I am wondering if this is related to the glitch you mention where sometimes when switching out of vibrate mode, the ring tone becomes muted. For that, your solution is to play the ringtone again, then it becomes unmuted.
Similarly, our Bluetooth devices mic's are being muted, and if we mute then unmute them again, then they become unmuted. A link that helps point you in the right direction?
Please note, this is not certain bluetooth devices being 'flaky', this is ALL devices. 4 at the latest count, including rock solid Nokia CARK7W car kits and Jabra headsets.
Some people put it down to MS Voice Command, which I have never installed. What does that program do, do you know, to cause the bug? Again I hope that might help point you in the right direction.
Please don't dump us Let's try to fix what is wrong in this relationship
BT problem solved?
CJSnet - not sure if you have resolved this. I was having the same problem and noticed people with reTouched dialer were not, so I loaded that dialer and the problems went away. I am using a Plantronics Voyager 510. Seems the problem might be with the standard dialer.
Hope this helps

Thanks, I'll give that a try. However WM6 has pretty much finished the Wizard for me, and I'm hoping to get a TyTN II soon as a replacement. Shame.
I just recently acquired a stereo bluetooth headset from dell model number BH200 and so far the stereo music quality is superb, but the moment a call comes in or I pick up a call it immediately disconnects itself. My question would be if any of you guys have any experience with this issue. the Stereo bluetooth and handsfree profile are both set to active. Any suggestions or hints?
I'm going to go on a limb here and assume that you guys haven't had access to the aforementioned bluetooth and i'm short out of luck here... right?
p.s. SAY IT AINT SO!!!!
Hi, I also have the same headphones and the same problem - only on HTC Universal flashed with WM6.
I search a bit on Google and it seems that the problem is with MS Bluetooth stack - it was working correctly for WM5 (but no A2DP), now in WM6 A2DP works, but handsfree does not.
Right now I'm testing alternative BT stacks - started with UniBT (it's Broadcomm stack modified for Universal) - now A2DP works flawlessly (before that, it didn't), but handsfree/headphones mode does not. At least trying to receive the phone call doesn't turn the headphones off.
i tested my fuze with a jabra bt2010 and it works fine. I'd prefer to not carry 2 bluetooth devices so i'm trying to find a way for it to work. I've been suggested to use a widcomm bluetooth stack as well but i dont know how to change my stack. If anyone here does know how to do it, please do enlighten us.
It's been nearly a month so I'm going to bump this thread in hopes of someone might possibly have some insight into this.
Push/bump.
I got the S9 now, it works for both functions but craps out completely when i'm outside, really bad signal reception as well as "muffled sounds" according to my audiophilic and audiophobic friends.
I think it has to be something to do with the actual firmware inside the bh200 that is wreaking some unknown havoc.
Dell bluetooth headset BH200 not working with Sony Xperia X1i
I have a Dell Bluetooth headset model BH200 and in A2DP mode, works flawless but the moment it is used with handsfree mode for call, the connection is broken and the headset switches off itself. This headset works very well with other non WM6.1 devices. Any clues with anony one what should be done in this case, some people have suggested JETware Hands-free Extension , any one tried on this.
I actually gave up on the bh200 and got myself a jabra bt8010. it works like a charm and the sound is just as good as the bh200
Indeed... i used to have a WM device (Mio A501) and I had the WM6.1 Pro..
I bought this BT at that time and it didn't work on WM6.1 (it even didn't asked me the PIN to pair it) but, when I tried with WM5.0, everything worked great, great sound on call's music, etc.. now I have a Sapphire and I'm not able to make calls on it (music works), but since I'm not driving and people used to look like "what a crazy guy speaking in English alone, no cables, it must be a mp3 or something.. hmmm" when I was on a call, it doesn't make a huge difference
i have yet to try this on wm6.5 but I highly doubt there would be a change..i'll give an update when I do charge up the bh200
i charged the bh200 up completely and tested it out.. it was a failure.. looks like 6.5 did not do anything to help...
Maybe windows mobile 7 will work.......... maybe.
You can use BH200 on call by this way only(I tested)
1. Turn on BT
2. Accepted call(However just Turn on your BT after accept call is OK)
3. Turn on BH200
4. Pair ur PDA w/ BH200
5. Done
IS this thead still active? I have a solution
Guys..
Use Reg edit and make the following modifications in your WM device by creating a new DWORD value 0 with the parameter UseESCO. Check out the path
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\UseESCO = DWORD:0 (Dont use space between UseESCO)
Then restart the phone and delete any previous BT devices on your phone, start up the paining process and get it to work.
worked flawlessly on my Dell BH200
Thanks,
Raj.
seriously????
the fix is in one freaking registry tweak????
I'll have to wait 2 months before i can test this since i left the damn thing to rot in the US while i'm here in thailand..-_-

Heya, Finally got back ot he US and tested out the BH200 with the fix you mentioned. it works!!!!!
although, i'm wondering if you're having problems with the bh200 not wanting to connect to the phone automatically.
Need help for the same problem in android
I am having similar issues on my Nexus one. Dell BH200 works for music playback but stops functioning when a call is made or received. Even the connection between the phone & BH200 gets lost.
I would be really glad to get some help on this.
So I've had this issue since the first Eris leaked ROMs. Basically, any 2.1 ROMs I've tried, INCLUDING what I'm running now, DC 2.07.2
When I turn on bluetooth, and then try to pair my headset, I get a popup saying:
Code:
To pair with "Motoroal H270",
confirm that it is showing the
passkey: 001328.
{Pair} {Don't pair}
The numbers that show up for the passkey are always different, but always 6 digits. I'm assuming the phone is not registering the correct profile for my headset.
Of course, it never pairs.
In 1.5 ROMs I simply entered 0000 as the passkey, but I do not get that option.
I've searched, but with limited keywords to search for... let's just say the hundreds of posts are a little difficult to filter through.
Is that an older Motorola Bluetooth?
I've paired the Motorola H720 with the leaked Eris. Smooth like butter. All I did was enter "0000." Worked fine. Try another bluetooth device, possibly one of more recent vintage. (Don't know how old a model your 270? is.)
I have not had any problems with my Clarion car stereo or my plantronics headset. In my car, in fact, the 2.1's have worked better than stock, since my car stereo picks up the phone and streams the audio automatically every time I get into the car without having to delete and re-pair (as I had to do with stock).

I have had no luck pairing my phone and any of my cars with any ROM based on 2.1. It pairs, but will not stay connected. Phone says "paired but not connected"; car says "paired, connected; then disconnected"; then endless loops of connected/disconnected. Sucks!
The sad thing is it seems most of these amazing ROM cookers do not use BlueTooth so it is not something they worry about. I bet this is what is holding up releasing the official Sprint update.
I too have tried searching through endless posts about bluetooth and 2.1. All I can come up with is there are some libraries missing from the 2.1 BlueZ; or something to that effect.
I love Damage's 2.0.7.2 ROM! But I have to go back to stock since driving and talking on the phone without a handsfree device is now illegal here in El Paso, TX.
I don't have a car or stereo bluetooth device to pair against. Just tried pairing my bluetooth with the new 2.0.2v2? Alysious ROM. Took 2 sec and nearly totally automatic. Amazing.
My issue with all 2.1 roms is that I can pair, dial and audio stream all day. I just cant talk as no sound or mic. I reflash back to 1.5 and all works well. BT in the car is now useless. sigh
2.1 paired fine, but its a crappy connection on 2.1, on 1.5 i had a better connection
finally used my BT last night with my phone ...worked like a champ! everything was clear to me....i don't have no sound probs and haven't used any of the fixes...
I pair with my bluetooth headset most of the time without problem. I do occasionally have to turn on and off my headset and the bluetooth on the phone to get it to reconnect. Thankfully, it only happens occasionally.....
Maybe I'm just one of the lucky ones (this time) but I have been streaming audio from my hero to the car stereo while while using google navigtion, which politely talks over the music, and have not had any problems. I'll get an occasional skip in the music (probably during downloads of map data), but nothing worth complaining about.

Guys, sorry to revive an old post but I am having this exact same issue as the OP. If anyone has found a fix, please post. Thanks.
Looking at FroYo they have updated some Bluez stuff (what makes out BT work) maybe it will be better when we get that.
Hopefully...
So, I have been looking on the forum for 3 days know commenting on all forums with questions regarding BT. Now I do know that BT on WP7 does not allow to transfer files. I also know that Headsets are able to connect, however.... my phones does not allow it for some reason.
Like the title says I really need Handsfree for my daily life.
My phone does not find my headset, it just keeps searching. I kept it next to each other for 1 hour.... after a hour still searching...
I know Bluetooth is on the Update list when it comes to the next step in cracking WP7, but allot of you guys use BT with a headset, any other have this problem? How do you fix this problem?
I heard it might have something to do with the Radio, that correct?
Please guys help me out!
I'm using a Parrot carkit on BT and that works just fine. The Parrot (that's nothing more than a headset) shows up in my BT devices and I can make the connection. I'm using the 'default' DFT WP7. Exept from a terrible battery usage, WP7 works magic !
I use sony ericsson bluetooth HBH IV835. Never been any problem at all.

I have the same problem. One guy said that his bluetooth started working when he flashed the Moon Light Rom, I flashed it and it still did not work for me. I use magldr 1.3 and the 1.12.50 radio. I am now back on the original DFT Rom.
I've run WP7 for only a day and managed to connect it to my Nokia CK7. I took much longer than normal to pair but it worked in the end. Whilst this doesn't really help at least you know it is possible to achieve.
The primary reason taken WP7 off my phone is that I NEED my database apps (currently Handbase) plus the traffic data from google maps.
For the brief period I was using WP7 I was really impressed but for some reason I never managed to dual boot it with Android as I kept loosing the Android partition. I certain this was my fault but having spent more than two hours reformatting the SD card as per the tutorials on here I gave up and flashed back to 6.5/Android.
