Hey guys. I have an XDA II and the Motorola Bluetooth headset. I gave up trying to use the headset before the updated XDA II ROM as it was very temperamental to say the least. Now I have updated the ROM its much better but I still have problems. If I am dialling out and put the headset on first then its fine, transfers to the headset etc. If I am wearing the headset and then take a call its fine, transfers to headset etc. But if I am not wearing the headset, say it’s in its case and the arm is closed then I get a call, I open the arm and stick the headset on and answer a call and nothing. Wont transfer to headset and I need to use the phone. Not good when driving! Is this still a XDA II problem? Have I set it up wrong or is the headset not working right? Bascially I need to have the arm open on the headset at all times for it to work like it should (like it did on my T68i) and its very annoying? Any ideas?
This is the headset http://www.motorola.com/mdirect/software/ss_html_docs/bluetooth/bluetooth_headset_info.pdf
Thanks in advance
Have you installed bluetooth tools? Unbond your headset then rebond after installing bluetooth tools.
What the best place to get the bluetooth tools from? Sorry if this has already been asked. And are they free??
Thanks
Yeah I did try bluetooth tools but it did not seem to make any difference maybe its just my headset, it was like one of the first Bluetooth headsets out :? I dunno...
You can get Bluetooth tools from...http://www.angeltowns.com/town/bluetooth/
And it seems to be free
Thanks for that.
However, I could not find the settings button, Just a display on the screen. What are the 1 & 2 buttons for??
:?
Yeah the only changes you see are when adding new devices like headsets etc as far as I know. I thought the same as you, went through all the options looking for it hehe. Those two things on the screen are something to do with selecting different settings for bluetooth to conserve battery like always on or auto off. I am not too sure as I removed it when it did not fix my problem!
Yeah, I removed it too. It caused me all sorts of problems with connecting my bluetooth jabra bt200!
I have upgraded my ROM to the latest official one, but still I can't make my ITech's PowBOX bluetooth HeadSet to work as Wireless Stereo. It only works as Hands Free. I tried my HeadSet on Nokia and did works as headset flawlessly. I also cannot activate my voice speed dial via bluetooth on my Atom. The bluetooth button just activate redialling last called number. Is there anything I need to configure to make this work? Please help. Thank you.
Anyone, please?
I use the iTech S35 and STEREO works like a charm with the Atom. I get stereo mp3 and movies. The handsfree works too although the voice dial doesn't cos the long press to activate the voice dial uses the button to turn the iTech on and off so u will end up turning the iTech off.
not heard of the iTech powBOX so dun know how it compares but I assume it should work too.
i think it used to work in older ROM version... could it be the new ROM?
I use Samsung Bluetooth SBH100 as a stereo headset with Atom (latest ROM) - got no problems. Headset's remote control buttons for audio player works too. Short press of Phone button make a redial. 4 sec press should activate voice dail (on 'supported devices'), but make nothing (common problem).
can the SBH100 play radio?

Don't think so as Atom requires the ear piece to be plugin as antenna...
I am using Bluetake Iphono BT stereo headset on Atom. It can listen to the music and act as handsfree for calls seperately but couldn't do both at the same time, the headset will switch off whenever there is incoming call while playing music, i guess there's some problem on switching btw.
Anyone got the same problem??
can't listen to music but can make calls
Hi,
I'm kind of new here, as I just bought a used atom from that e*** auction site. it works great, except i can't get my bluetooth headset to work as a headphone while listening to podcast, mp3's, etc. using my BT headset to make calls works fine. I have both a Jabra BT130 and BT350 and both have this problem. is it the headset? if so, is there a list somewhere that lists what BT headset is compatible? i really need it to work as I cannot stand using wired headsets since by the time i untangle those wires, I'm out of time already...
thanks a lot!
It's the New Rom..(i think)

the problem comes with the new rom i think.. i had a bluetooth headset that worked perfectly before i uograded to the new Roms released by O2 itself.. i emailed them about the problem but they insist that nothing is wrong with the ROMs they made...
I have a ATT 8525 running pro black 3.1 and a radio v.1.16. Just bought the motorola S9 headset. I can stream music to the headset fine.. but I can't get any phone calls to patch through to the headset. It can't be the headset because it works fine as a headset on another phone. But my 8525 works fine when it's paired up with the BT phone system in my car. When I try to enable 'Turn on handsfree" through the phone dialer menu the phone freezes up for a bit. Anyone have a idea what's going up? Thanks.
Does Wing work with Stereo Bluetooth Headset _ONLY_? One bluetooth headset I have works with Dell X51v, but has no luck with the Wing. Seems Wing requires A2DP(??).
Any ideas?

No, stereo is not required. I have two very cheap bluetooth headsets that both work with my Wing. The wing doesn't require A2DP, but does support it (supposedly).
On that note, is your headset visible in the Wing when you go and search for bluetooth devices (add new) in the bluetooth applet?
The headset works fine with X51v PDA so I know it is functional.
Yes, the headset is visible in the Wing's BT management interface. It can pair the partnership without any problem, when I tried to connect, sometimes I saw the microphone icon appear in the top bar of the screen, but it disappeared in seconds.
When I adjusted the volume, sometimes I heard clicks from the headset, but when I played music/sound, they always came out from the speaker.
What am I missing here? Thanks!!

Also havng trouble rerouting calls to headset...
Any advise???
I have some bluetooth headphones, that used to work a treat on my old Touch HD and Iphone, but when I turn on bluetooth on the galaxy s and search for devices, it simply doesn't find them...
Am I doing something wrong, sorry if this has been asked before, new to all this android stuff
Are you putting the headset into pairing mode before scanning for it?
Nope the headset simply has an on off button, it has a 0000 code and that's it ?
Usually a bluetooth headset has to be activated in pairing mode to be detectable for the first time. For example, holding the power button for several seconds etc. You may want to confirm with the instruction manual.
if you paired it the first time, it will automatically detect both features.
just for the record, my good old Motorola HT820 works fine with my SGS, loud and clear
I'm using the Sony Ericsson HBH DS-980 with my Galaxy S with no issues.

i have an slighly older model of this one
i stopped using it due the wires, it gets annoying, it reminds me too much of using regular wired headsets
sound is good only when you stuck the entire plug into your ears, but it hurts after a while
I had the HBH 970, it sucked when it comes to sound quality.
here is my brief review
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7215233&postcount=5
of all the BT stereo headsets i've ever used
Sorry people, thanks for your help and your right, I wasn't holding the button long enough to initially pair the device, DOH!!!
Works a treat now, I thought it couldn't be the device had to me, and it was...
Not quite the same problem as OP, but related to bluetooth headset:
Having problems with a Plantronics Backbeat 903 bluetooth headset connection to my Galaxy S.
(Long story, so stick with me here...)
When I intiate a pairing and connect, everything's fine, but if I shutdown/disconnect the headset and then turn on/connect the headset again later, it seems to have lost the 'media' connection ( but 'phone' connection still appears active).
So, I look in Settings/Wireless And Network/Bluetooth Settings/Backbeat9XX, then long press to bring up 'Options' I see a greyed out 'Media' option. I press this to 'activate' it, and all seems hunky dory, but the headset still doesn't work for 'media'. I go back in thru all the steps & find the 'Media' option greyed out again.
Rinse and repeat; same result. Again & again.
Bottom line: can't seem to get 'Media' active & stay that way.
This headset worked fine with my Motorola Milestone, BTW.
Maybe the A2DP 'stack' is screwy on my phone? How would I check this/change this?
Any ideas?
I have sony DR-BT50 which the quality is very good and so comfortable using it with my laptop or nokia n97 , but I can not discover it by my samsung galaxy s,
