Touch screen issue and headset question - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Hey, just got my new wizard. Flashed it up with the slim edition of 6.1 which works very nicely, no stability problems so far, and very quick responsiveness..
anyway, I have 2 questions:
- When I first recieved it, I couldn't get past the calibration screen, it registered the screen tap on the first screen "tap here to begin" but after that I couldn't get it to pick up the tap in the center. I found I had to tap somewhere else in the screen to get it to work. I eventually found a spot "near" the center that registered enough (and did the 4 corners accurately) that it let me pass. When I did that the accuracy of the touch screen was horrible, BUT it did work all across the screen (in the notes program I could draw all over, the lines were not exactly where I drew, but they worked all over the screen). Later I learned that tapping the screen with a larger tip (my fingernail) worked perfectly even in the calibration program, but using the fine pointed stylus does not work... Very strange. Any suggestions about this? I see replacement touch screens on ebay for like $12, so would it make sense to pick one of these up?
- Second question, if I am using headphones (With an adapter to the smaller plug) to listen to MP3s. It pauses the music and rings through the headphones. That is great... I take the headphones off and answer the call. But I decided to see if I could answer with the headphones on, and hear the caller through the headphones, and speak back into the phone as normal (using the builtin mic, since my headphones are not a phone headset, just regular earbud headphones). When I answer the call I can hear the caller, but they cannot hear me. However if I can hear myself through the headphones, so the device is still picking up the speaker, it simply isn't passing on the audio to the other end. Also if I unplug the headphones, they can hear me, then if I plug them back in mid call, they can still hear me now... So this leads me to believe it is a software issue that can be potentially fixed. Does anyone know of a hack/change/update/registry key that I can use to change this behavior so I can use my regular (higher quality) headphones to listen to music, and just speak into the phone normally when a call comes in (without taking off headphones)
Thanks!

Jabra BT8010 Headset

Does anyone on here have it? How well does it work with WM6 and the Kaiser in general?
Sorry if this has been addressed in the past. I tried searching the Accessories forum with both basic and advanced searches and came back with no results. Which is odd considering I could have SWORN I saw it talked about here at some point int he past.
I have a Jabra BT620s, which is also A2DP. It is total crap. I would look at a different brand. Motorola headsets are supposed to work well.

I have the 8010 and it with all due respect to the previous poster, it works great. I have used it with the original shipped ROM and several cooked ROMS (Currently on Sleuth's 6.1 ver 3) and it worked well with all of them. I will say it seems to work the best (longer distance from the PPC) with the radio included in Sleuth's 6.1
Can either of you provide more specific information about the issues you had with it? I've never had a bluetooth headset before so I might not even notice.
My BT620s sounded like a bad record. The pitch kept shifting very subtly, but it is INSANELY annoying and makes it completely un-listenable. Also, it would drop audio for about 5 seconds of every minute, which is very annoying. It had trouble with pairing, when you turned it off, it would sometimes refuse to re-connect to the phone. The call quality with it was OK though. I sold mine and bought a pair of Motorolas.
i have the bt8010 (only for a week) and the head set is pretty good
i have had the headset cut out on me i think there is interference from the cell or wifi. but it doesn't happen all the time. the battery life is good i have played at least 9 hours of music (stereo) straight before it need a charge. the sound quality is ok, there is some distortion on the extreme high and low notes.
but it is wireless
the headset need to be angled in a upward angle in order to be conformable (at least for me) i was able to were it for 3 hours with out a problem
the cord between the ears some times get pulled by twisting my neck, it's about 1 inch too long
i have used it in a noisy production floor and the person on the other side head me fine, a little downed out but they didn't hear the hum of the loud machine in the background and because i had the stereo on i head him better then on my phone, and yes you do hear the person on both right and left sides.
i was going to get a Motorola (mono) one but i got this one because the talk time and standby life is longer (according to specs) and this one has stereo option.
this is the only headset that you could switch from work to play
i am happy with it, and other around me like it.
btw i got mine refurbished.
I have the BT8010. I've had it for about 7 to 8 months now, maybe longer.
I really do not like the headset at all. It has great sound so don't get me wrong. If sound is all you are interested in then go for it. But if you are looking for fit or the ear loops to stay on then they aren't the ones.
For me, the fit for me is horrible and the headset hurts because I have small ears.
SECOND and this is the BIGGEST LET DOWN, the ear loops keep falling out.
So if you get it go ahead and call and order some extras right away. You can contact them via phone I think and they will send you a few. Just keep one in your wallet and one in the car and some @ home, and some in your briefcase.
The ear loops fall out way too easy for my tastes. I'm currently looking for another set of A2DB enabled headsets.
I use it for some 4 month. Mostly monoaural. It's ok, but...
Pros: VERY good sound quality (noise reduction, environment supression), good battery lifetime (up to 3 days), clear display, handy controls.
Cons: the ear hanger (? sorry for my english) slips out from the unit causing unit to fall, fast dial numbers are too short (cannot add cell codes e.g. enabling my phone number identification before dial number), does not fit perfectly into the ear - the sound is good when I puch it with my finger toward my ear, but listening to the music is a bit painful (not full spectrum due to distance between speaker and ear-hole that cannot be, at least in my case, adjusted).
Overall: good design/performance. Better quality then BT800 (my previous earphone). Cannot be securely and properly adjusted toward ear.
has anyone got more insight on this headset... i am looking in purhcasing it.
I use the 8010. The only complaint I had was the ear hook kept falling out, like the poster above. What I did was to superglue the hook in. Now, it doesn't fall, and it fit tighter to the ear, making it better to hear conversations and music. I lost one of the hooks before, and when I called jabra to order another set of hooks, they sent me out a Free pair, no ? asked, so support is great. Now, you can find the headset at a very good price. I paid $100 for mines, you can find them for $40-60.
Jabra BT8010 connection
I also have problems with the ear loop falling out. But it's not that often.
What I find annoying is that it doesn't automatically connect to my HTC prophet as stereo headphones when I switch the Jabra to music mode. I have to manually go into bluetooth settings and click on Jabra BT8010 to set as stereo headphones. Does anyone have a fix for this? If I don't do the above steps, AVRCP is able to work, but music will still come out of the phone. It would be nice if I can just listen to music with a push of the mode button without having to fumble for my phone.
i have em .. and to be honest i cant really complain
the only problem ive actually had is like everyone else has mentioned...the ear loop comming off..but thats so small in comparison to what they have to offer.
imo :
the sync from my car to my home bt system is awesome!
the clarity is superb
volume, settings, caller id and the phonebook work flawlessly..and to top it off i got em off of ebay for 25 bucks brand new with a reciept..
cant beat it!
i ahve jabra bt620s and sound is too low, how can i increase the sound on bt headset
the best bluetooth I know so far is Itech. They don't sell here but you can find it on ebay. A2DP, bluetooth stereo, cliping on you cloth, looks like a ipod shuttle on you collar.

Blue Ant or Jawbone?

I would like some advice specific to these to bluetooth devices. I'm going out to get one this week and would like to purchase the best of the two. Basically I'm looking for good audio quality on both ends. Stable compatibility with the tilt. Good looks, of course. The Jawbone seems to be pretty popular, how does the Blue Ant compare? Pros and cons please.
Like most of these questions, you're going to get both opinions. Bought them both - ended up keeping the Blue Ant. Better price (got mine for $60 delivered). Upgradeable firmware. Great call quality/voice command quality. Liked the noise suppression better. Smaller (more comfortable for me and I always thought I had bigger ears). Again, you'll probably find others that will disagree with me.
Thank You... I'll do a little more research
OK. So I got the Jawbone ($129.99) last night and I am very happy, so far. I thought it would look too Star Trekish, but actually, its not too bad. Certainly, considering you have some atrificial device hanging from your ear anyway. How I arrived to this state of happiness: Last week I bought the Jabra BT8040 ($79.99) and after about 6 hours I took it back because it did not sit firmly in my ear (didn't try the extra ear buds), the sound quality was poor, and people complained about noise in my background (noise that I hardly considered). The Jawbone fit perfectly, right out the package and sound quality was perfect on both ends.
I would still like feedback on the Blueant Z9, please.
I have lots of Jawbone experience and I like it the best so far. I've just checked out the BlueAnt site and have now ordered one to test side by side. I do like the idea of downloadable firmware, we'll see.
Did you guys order from the BlueAnt site or from another retailer?

Do a pricegrabber search, I used Tiger cause I know them but there were lower prices, $60-70 range
Best Buy. i'm impatient.
Jawbone sound is spectacular, function is pretty good, but for me the fit was terrible. Spent so much time fiddling with the wire ear loops they both broke -- my fault, not a quality issue.
Let me know how the BlueAnt works out. So far, I pretty much *hate* the fit of every headset ever made.

I have Jawbone. They are fantastic. A little bulky on the ear but the technology is wonderful. I have no complain from people telling they hear static or winds noises.
my only complain is, the earbud keeping falling off here and there (interchangable depending on your ear). The earloop sometimes doesn't fit properly due to my status.

Looking forward to your test results.....
So far I'm still happy with Jawbone. However (grins), I wish it would alert me when I get text and other messages. If my phone is at my desk and I'm at my workbench I miss incoming text messages. Can this be set up?

Does this answer your question?
I've been reading reviews on the Z9 and the Jawbone, and every review contradicts the other. I couldn't make up my mind from reading reviews so I bought both and tried them out myself. Here is a comparison as I saw it.
1. Loudness - The Z9 has separate volume buttons for up and down and is plenty loud to hear in a noisy place. It’s loud enough that when I was in a quiet place or in my car with out the radio on I had to turn the volume down a bit.
The Jawbone doesn’t have an up and down volume button. It has a button that every time you press it, it raises the volume one level. Once you reach level 5 it goes back down to the lowest level and you have to start raising it again. It relies on it’s audio enhancement technology that will automatically adjust the volume depending on the surrounding noise. Overall, I felt that the Jawbone just wasn't loud enough for me.
2. Fit - They both fit really well but the Z9 hurts my ear after I take it off if I've had in for more than 30 minutes. The Z9 goes on fast when you get a call if it isn’t in your ear.
The Jawbone fits nice also, but it takes a little longer to put it on if it’s not in when you get a call. The good thing is that I can leave it on longer than the Z9 because it doesn’t hurt my ear at all. It just takes time to find the right combination for your ear, between the 4 ear pads and the 4 ear loops. But once you do it fits great. There is a shake test on YouTube showing that if you shake your head rapidly the Jawbone falls off while the Z9 stays on. I tried it and it's true. But who the hell goes around shaking their head like that.
3. Noise cancellation - This one was too close to call, I tested with the radio turned up in my truck and called my voicemail at work. They both did a great job. You could barely hear the music playing in the background and the music would cut in and out, while I was talking. It sounded like you had music in the background at a very low volume. As for the voice, it came across loud and it never cut out.
4. Size – Now this is a huge difference, the Z9 is about third the size of the Jawbone. This doesn’t mean that the Jawbone is overbearing or anything it just means that the Z9 is really small.
After testing them both for a couple of days, I am keeping the Z9. The deciding factor was that the Jawbone just wasn’t loud enough for me. Both are great noise cancelling headsets. If the Jawbone were louder I would be keeping that one because of the comfort level.
If you guys and gals have any questions let me know and I will try to answer them.

Try this free app, BTaudio toggle, it directs all sounds out thru the BT headset. It works great on the Kaiser. I map a a key to make it easy to direct all sounds when needed. Search for it to get the thread about it.
I tried Bluemusic and found that it did NOT work well with my Kaiser in that it seems to kill the voice dialer function. When pressing the headset button voice dialer does not work, bluemusic seems to use it to toggle the sound between the headset and phone, showstopper for me.
I haven't had much luck with a headset that fits my ear properly, and is loud enough. I've had a bunch ... have/had a Jawbone. I just can't get it to stay in my ear regardless of which hook or bud I use.
On a whim i bought a Moto H375 at Costco with wall and car charger (std mini USB) for $40.
I can charge it from any standard mini USB cable
It fits and stays in my ear
It is so loud I often have to turn the phone volume down
Battery life is good
It has some kind of auto pairing, so all you have to do is turn it on and tell your device to search. I didn't have to fumble with some odd button press to put the headset into a pairing mode. Both my Tilt and BB 8310 found it immediately ... laptop too.
When my phone rings I actually hear my ringtone in my ear ... not some generic bleep bleep sound.
It worked fine with MS Voice Command, without any hacks, with the current STOCK AT&T ROM, does name announcement just fine.
My only complaint is that the ear hook isn't super comfortable if you wear it for longer than an hour ... but then I don't walk around like a drone all day wearing one anyway.
for $40 it certainly is worth checking out.
Thanks lopezpm for your review.... if RemE comes to the same conclusion..(soon)... I'll go for the Z9
Jawbone
I got the Jawbone for the last 4 months with it's amazing audio. The only thing that "burn" it is the charging cable, They use their own type of connector which require me to take the only cable they supplied with me when I travel for something longer then 3 days.
I tried contacting throught the web site in order to get another cable but after 2 months of waiting I understood they won't reply.
I got my'n at the MobilityToday.com shop for 80$ (the red version)
Got my Z9 and so far I have to say that I'm impressed. I downloaded and updated it's firmware from their web site. It was a bit of a project but the instructions were good. The Z9 is truely tiny compared to the Jawbone and the Z9 has many more call control features, controlled with button combination presses.
Fit for me is good, the clear plastic hooks are slightly less comfortable than the Jawbone but with careful adjusting while looking in a mirror can help you get a fit that works well. The Z9 weighs next to nothing and can be adjusted to be almost invisible to your senses. They give you two spare ear hooks.
Sound incoming is loud and clear and I do appreciate the dedicated up and down controls. I wear my headsets on my left ear so that puts the buttons on the bottom in my case which is not as good from an operational standpoint, especially when using button combinations.
Charging is done with a dedicated charger with micro usb type connector (looks identical to Jabra's). The Z9's charger is rated at 5v, the Jabra is 6v. The Z9 also comes with a micro USB to standard USB charge/data cable. The cable's have labels stating to ONLY use them with the Z9.
Noise Cancellation, so far so good. One difference from the Jawbone is that the Z9's noise cancelling is default at "standard" at call connect where the Jawbone's NC is "On" at startup and can be turned Off while in a call by pressing it's rear button (where you get a multi-tone indication that it's Off) The Z9's NC can be turned from "standard" to "Max" with a tap on the call button and it actually says "noise cancelling max" in your ear with a male Austrailian accented voice tag. A 3 sec press on the call button is needed to "end call". I called a friend with a Jawbone and did quality tests and was told that the quality was very good. I did walk around outside and the Z9 did fairly well in wind compared to Jawbone, maybe slightly better. I have not had a chance to torture test in the car at high speeds yet but so far I'm pretty happy.
Annoying Bits, should you walk out of range of your phone (eg. left phone on desk and walked out of room), the Jawbone gives a single "lost connection" tone while the Z9 gives it's lost signal tone, every 2 seconds, over and over for about a minute or two, then it powers down. When you are back in range it won't auto-pair like the Jawbone, you need to tap the call button to wake it, then it re-pairs quickly. Also I'm finding that the single tap of the button during a call (disconnects call with Jawbone, changes Noise Reduction Level with Z9) with the Z9 I often change NC level by accident because I'm so used to tapping the button to hang-up, they really should reverse the two features and tap-hold for 3 sec to change noise cnx level since it's not used as much as hanging up! At least we could rally for a firmware change
All in all for the price ($70 USD in my case) the Z9 is a contender!
Edit, after a few days use I will say that the Jawbone is the most comfortable. The Z9's clear plastic ear clip does hurt after a while, more than the Jawbone.
Edit, after driving with it a few hours today, well, it was better than my Jawbones! (and I love my Jawbones) It was way louder, in fact I had to turn it down! I called a fellow nit-picking, Jawbone using friend and did many in-car tourture tests, speed, wind, etc. The Jawbone might have a slight edge in noise cancelling but overall I was loud and clear to them and they were loud and clear to me.
So in my book both are great headsets, I'll keep and use both.
I have owned headsets by Jabra, Plantronics, Sony and Cardo (god-awful, threw it at my window and broke it after only two days) and I must say that my Jawbone blows everything else I've previously owned out of the water, the fit is great for me, sound quality is excellent, no one complains when talking to me except when I'm in heavy wind. You can't really go wrong with the Jawbone!

speakerphone volume

I just noticed that the volume control does nothing when I have the phone on speaker. The bar showing volume does move and the numbers change but the volume stays the same. Fortunately it appears to be at the loudest setting which is better than having it too quiet.
I have done the tweak through the diagnosis codes that gave the speaker a louder upper end as it was too quiet before. Not sure if it was working before that. Anyone notice anything similar?
I'm not sure if you're targeting this question to folks that have done the mod, but my phone is stock and the volume control works fine with speakerphone.
I noticed something to that effect to. I was on the boards tonight to actually roll back those changes I made for the audio headphone output.
ha
I set my defaults back, and now the speakerphone volume works again. It was not working while the settings were in place to increase the volume.
Well, I'll likely just keep the modifications in place. Before, the speakerphone wasn't loud enough to be useful while driving. Only once did I want to turn it down and that's when I found the problem.
This wouldn't be an issue if I could get the bluetooth to properly pair with my built in bluetooth in my truck.

What's not working with the Bluetooth?
It will indicate that it has paired with the hands free kit but nothing happens when I send or recieve a call. Normally the radio will shut off on the display will read "phone".
One thing I noticed yesterday is that if I am on a call already when I start my truck the "phone" indicator does come up on the radio and the speakers go quiet but the conversation never switches from the phone to the truck radio. As mentioned above it does nothing if the truck is already running when a call is placed.
The hands free works perfectly with my old HTC Tilt so no issue there. I have also succesfully paired the Focus with a regular headset so it does work. So there is something in the communication between my Focus and the hands free kit.

Ok, not the same as my issue. Mine will not play any of the A2DP through the bluetooth of my car. It's a wiring issue in my case though. I'm hoping Microsoft enhances Bluetooth options so I can choose to only enable handsfree and not A2DP like I can on other phones. Otherwise, all my phone's system sounds are missing, so I cannot hear anything when connected through bluetooth on my car (except calls).

[Q] Sick of this phone's quirks. Please help.

Sometimes , when I plug headphones, or any auxiliary audio jack, a "microphone" icon appears on the upper bar on the screen, and then at the first instance of any noise it randomly dials someone from my recent call list. I usually catch it in time to end the call before it even rings, but not always. This is SO aggravating as very frequently I use my phone to listen to music either in my car or while exercising/working with headphones.
I've had this ongoing problem since release date and it seems to be random in frequency. Sometimes it happens every time I plug a jack in, then sometimes it goes a whole month without happening. The only way I've found to eliminate the "microphone" icon and prevent the phone from calling out is to stop my music, go to settings, other, voice command, and then uncheck the "enable voice command" box. It seems that inserting headphones automatically re-enables this against my will. I thought installing some of the updates or various roms would have helped, but nothing helped. I'm back to using the latest stock rom and because of my irritation with this phone have just about given up on doing any more to it.
Is there any way for me to permanently delete voice command? I never use it and unfortunately the only threads I can find on here deal with people asking the opposite.
Any advice would be appreciated.
If you're on an Android ROM try downloading Titanium Backup from the market and deleting the voice applications if you don't use any of them.

hd2 is a headphone button enabled phone ....so pluging in some jacks can cause the effect of the button to trigger on itself
Also on occasions fluff into audio port means the jack just does not drop right in
pull the battery and with a pin and torch check its clear, be gentle with the pin
I have many different heaphones/earbuds that I use with this phone and none of them give me a problem on the latest official HD2 Rom for T-Mobile
1. the original earbud set that came with it
2. Old (like 10 years old) Sony over the ear headphones (best sounding by far in this group and 6ft cord makes excellent antenna for FM radio)
3. phillips earbuds
4. Rocketfish earbuds (Crappiest but has long cord for antenna)
5. Phillips behind the neck heaphones (second best sounding)
6. Sony earbuds (these things rock for earbuds)
7. Phillips earphones
8. Skullcandy earbuds (offers the best fit out of all of them in the ear types)
If I have any gripes about using headphones it has to be that HTC put the jack on the wrong end of the phone.....
i couldnt find the place to ask this question, but would it still be wise to buy HTC HD2 instead of Motorola Defy? my budget is something around 17,000 INR. Pls guys help, im so confused bout buying the phone, personally i like the design of both Defy & HD2 and as i have read HD2 is better phone configuration wise and regarding flashing with custom roms but isn't it a bit outdated now?
Thanks for the replys. I'm considering filing an insurance claim on my device to see if they can fix it as I already suspected that the headphone jack itself may be the culprit. Since the hd2 is discontinued, if they can't replace/repair it, then I'm pretty sure they'll hook me up with the current gen htc handset for tmobile (evo?)
Still though. If anyone could tell me how to deactivate, or delete from the device/registry, Voice Command, it would save me a lot of trouble. I've only 3 months left until I get an upgrade anyway.

[CM7 at least] Car Dock = Crappy BT Handsfree Audio

Cross posting from the CM7 Epic forum to get more exposure and see if there is anyone NOT experiencing this problem and also maybe see if this extends beyond CM7 to regular Epic GB users. Here is the original thread I created.
Here is the post:
The Issue: When the phone is placed into the Samsung Car Dock, and then subsequently a hands free BT call is placed, the audio quality over the hands free is terrible and unusable.
I have been experiencing this issue since I started using CM back in October, and it was only today that I finally (and accidentally) discovered the action that causes it to happen. For the longest time I thought the problem somehow centered on switching from playing A2DP audio (which always sounds just fine) to the phone call, though I couldn't repeat this consistently, as sometimes I could get a call with good quality, but most of the time, even with freezing Music so it didn't start automatically when BT/car dock were connect, calls just sounded horrible.
Today, all that changed and I figure out that no matter what the state of A2DP music is, as long as the call is placed/received BEFORE the USB connector of the car dock is slid in to place, the audio quality is just fine. If you put the phone in the dock and engage the USB connector and then place/receive a call, you run into my aforementioned issue. I tested to see if this was related to the Car Home app, and running the app and placing a call out of the car dock was just fine as well. You can place a call, and then plug in the car dock and everything is OK that way too.
So something has to happen when the car dock is physically connected to the phone that messes with the audio. Can someone attempt to repeat this problem so I know it is ultimately not someting weird with my car/head unit/whatever. I don't believe it is because I didn't experience this issue before I switched to CM7.

Bump on this topic, no one else notice this? Can people try this out and see what happens, even if you don't normally use the device that way?
