"It's also about half the thickness of the original and weighs just 0.4 ounces."
"It's certainly more comfortable than the previous model, which I had on hand for comparison's sake."
"In use, the new Jawbone simply sounded excellent."
"How it sounds to other callers is what matters most, however, and here the New Jawbone's performance was breathtaking. In a series of calls plus 15 voicemail tests, the New Jawbone sounded full-bodied, warm, and detailed—and, with the noise canceling circuitry engaged, there was no background noise whatsoever."
"But the New Jawbone's noise canceling performance was simply spectacular."
OK, I think I'm ready to take the plunge and get one now.
Blue Ant is releasing a Z9i next week that should give the new Jawbone a run for its money. Plus, you can pre order it for $79.99 on Mobilecity.com

Whichever one has better wind cancellation gets my $.
The current Z9 hardly works when I step outside on a typical Chicago day.

Well my biggest problem is Voice Command. When I am in the car, or the supermarket it works fine and understands my commands.
However the minute i step outside with even moderate winds it doesn't respond at all...which means that it isn't anywhere near recognizing (or hearing) what I am saying.
I'm glad the motopure h12 works for you, but people said the same thing about the jawbone and z9...that they used theirs in increible noisy environments, or in their convertible and had no issues.
Unfortunately, I don't see the h12 for sale at any big-box stores, and I'm not willing to pay 2-way shipping just to try it out.
With the spring upon us, I will be outside more often. We all know it is difficult to see the screen in sunlight, so I find using MSVC to dial my calls is a must. Are you using MSVC with your H12? If you have the opportunity to try it out and see if it still picks up your commands while speeding down in your jeep, I would be interested to know...
thx
I'd like to congratulate Aliph on releasing a product while giving next to no technical details about it.
I mean... is it BT 2? Can it simulate A2DP? Seriously, details Aliph, details. NOBODY has specs on this thing.

I know about magnetic USB... but I wonder how they will be implementing this? Are they providing a plate or something to lay the headset on to charge inductively?
Seems to be plenty of info here + a nice ear to see it displayed on.
http://jawbone.com/index.aspx
I am going to give it a try as I have been very dissappointed with my Jabra BT8040. I never have been able to get it to stay in my ear. I need one with an ear loop.
I got mine in the mail Monday, to replace the JB1.
Works better than the old JB. As for the magnetic coupling, what it is, is a usb connector, which plugs into the AC adapter, or a usb port. On the other end, is the plug that hooks to the jawbone. Inside the connector, in the middle, are the
4 contacts to charge it. On either side of that, are two tiny squares, which are magnetic. The end of the jawbone has a piece of metal on the inside, which holds the charger connector on the jawbone.
Here's a cell phone photo, should help.

Thanks...that's kind of a rip off though. It looks no different than any other type of charging cradle except instead of being held in place by plastic nibs or something it is being held by a magnet.
When I think of magnetic USB, I think of those new charging mats that they have whereby you place a device with a special outer casing and it sticks to the mat and charges through induction.
I could have my terms wrong...but that's what I was expecting.
If you've ever been in a best buy, and have seen one of the mac laptops with the power adapter, appears they got the idea from something like that I guess.
I know I like the new one better. I popped the cap on my old jawbone, but a tiny drop of super glue fixed that
LOL...I've been to Chicago a few times, if they get ANYTHING to work in that
wind, they would definitely have something! Heck, they should set up a "wind test lab" in Chicago!

Well,
I just sold my Z9 on ebay after reading some other reviews where others agreed that it just didn't perform in any wind.
I have an extra cardio scala-800 I am going to unbox and use until I decide if I want the motopure, z9i, or new jawbone.

I really detest these proprietary connectors.
As far as I am concerned, any device should be able to use a mini-usb connector, or it very small, a micro-usb connector.
Almost every single device out there can be charged off a laptop, which means they all take USB current input (5v). For those that take less, a universal charger could provide voltage regulation, but the form factor can still remain mini/micro usb.
If a device is so small that micro USB connector won't fit, then I probably don't want it as it would be too easy to lose. I'm sure by the time they make a BT headset that fits in your ear canal induction based charging will be more widespread.
This grudge isn't just against phones and BT headsets, it is one reason I will never buy an ipod.
Unless the new z9 or the H12 (haven't investigated yet) is also using proprietary (and thus I am out of options), I don't think I will be buying the new Jawbone.

Haha, exactly what I did to fix mine!
Just got my jawbone 2 and I have to say this is the best headset I've used. Coming from a Plantronics Discovery 655. Works perfectly with Voice Command. I thought the lack of buttons was going to be a problem, but I got used to it quick.
However, it is really pricey. I ended up paying $140 direct from jawbone after tax and shipping. Hopefully once online shops starts stocking these the price will come down.

I did a non scientific review of my thoughts on the new jawbone on the AT&T
website. Instead of adding a new thread, here's a link. Just click on the

Donny, if by Voice Command you mean MS Voice Command, would you be able to do some tests in a windy environment for me? I don't think rolling with the windows down suffices, because that really just creates noise, not really wind.
I'm in chicago, so I don't really need to simulate but maybe a blow dryer or something if you can't find any natural wind?
When i use my Z9 outside MSVC doesn't even register that I've said anything.
I'm going to wait until the Z9i until i make my next decision, as I would rather have the micro-usb charging, and I honestly think I prefer the look of the blueant. However, if the wind-cancellation/noise-suppression is far superior on the JB, I may go with that.
Also, in the below pic, what is the little clear plastic nub on the tip for?

I`ve ordered one of these nice and shiny charging cradles on Ebay but had to figure out that it doesn`t fit to my US HD2 . Before I am going to waste more money on another one does anybody has a suggestion or experience with a cradle and the US HD2? BTW I was looking for one with the 3.5mm plugin.
We'll see...
Not sure, but I just ordered this one yesterday, and can let you know when it arrives. Here's hoping.

This is the top of the line cradle for GSM unlocked HTC Touch HD2/Leo phone (European version). This cradle does not fit any other versions such as T-mobile HD2.
Hope I am wrong and it works for you!! Please let me know

ORA Deluxe Cradle Not Compatible With USA HTC HD2
Hello Everyone,
The one I got from www.expansys-usa.com does not allow the HTC HD2 USA model to fully seat into the base, therefore the microusb/3.5mm jack do not fully engage into the phone. You can see, the back edge of the cradle would need to have some material removed to allow the phone to seat all the way down. Hope the picture helps explain the problem. I have not decided yet to return the product or do surgery on my new cradle. It is a real pity because, I really like this cradle.

GREAT i just wasted money on a stupid craddle i bought on ebay it should be its way this week. now what am i suppose to do
Found this...
http://www.thinkhd2.com/htc-hd2-sync-desktop-cradle-9681.html
Looks like all of us who got one with the 3.5mm jack all got the exact same cradle, despite where we purchased it from. And we all found out the TMOUS HD2 does not seat on the cradle.
MonnieRock - I would not try doing surgery on the cradle if I were you. Unless you're very good at doing this sort of thing. I've already tried with a drill, vice and hack saw. The plastic is pretty thick and the areas that need to be trimmed are where some of is not only thick, but also some wires are under that area. Hard to try dismantling the cradle, because wires are stuck to both sides of the insider parts with wax and screws. And part of the area that needs trimming is right near the jacks. I made a good mess of the cradle, but never could get my TMOUS HD2 to seat properly. The 2nd battery slot does at least work though . I recommend you just return the cradle for a refund if you can get a refund.

Darnell,
I carefully inspected the cradle and confident I could modify the cradle with excellent results and still remain cosmetically perfect. I have a lot of tools for this kind of work. To tell you the truth, I do not want to spend the time on it. One of the reasons I got it from www.expansys-usa.com so that if needed, I could return for a full refund. I will just wait until there is a compatible cradle for the T-Mobile USA HD2.
Thank you,
Monnie
And are there any news on a cradle that works with the US HD2? Anybody got one that fits his TMOUS device? Can`t belive that they sold so many of them and there is no loading cradle available yet...
Looks like there is now a T-Mobile US HD2 cradle available:

I got confirmation that it has shipped. I sure hope it arrives this week.

I think this time it will be more like me enjoying the sweet cradle longer than most others . I really think this one will hold it just fine. Same seller who was selling the European version. And when selling the European version they made it clear it may not fit the US T-Mobile version. So I'm sure they know the differnce now that they've specified one for the US T-Mobile version. They've even got the US T-Mobile HD2 in the picture.
Got mine today. Fits perfect and looks great. Very well built.

I got mine today too. Have you tried seeing if the the audio jack plays STEREO audio when you use headphones with it and play music on your T-Mobile US HTC HD2?
I'll let you all see the message I just sent the seller of this cradle (legendzonetrade):
I received this item and it does not properly fit the US T-Mobile HTC HD2. I had to press very hard to get it into the cradle and even then the headphone jack only played MONO not stereo audio.
How can you get me a cradle that properly fits the US T-Mobile HD2 and properly seats the audio jack so that audio plays in stereo?
Click to expand...

I also had to remove the bottom portion of my BodyGuardz cover. The part just below the battery cover, the small bottom back piece of BodyGuardz protective covering. Just to get the device to seat at all. I did not really mind that. I do mind the device not seating well enough for stereo audio out of the headphone jack.
I'll keep everyone posted once I hear/know more. For the moment, I can't recommend getting this one. Anyone who has one already or one coming, check if the device seats well enough for the headphone jack to play STEREO through your headphones.
Audio jack works but had to fiddle with it to get it to play.
Hi guys,
Just incase you havent heard.
Powermat support the HD2 now.
http://www.powermat.com/us/receivers/htc/receiver-door-for-htc-hd2.html
Bad news is that its sold out!
you can but the bundle for $59.99 which included the battery door and a powermat
that is not bad at all considering with the tp2 you had to add this bulky backpiece. Might be a good x-mas investment seeing how we have 3 hd2's laying around.
Hi,
Does anyone know if its work with a cover , you know, I mean a hard cover for HD2 ? No interference ?
I just don't get why ppl like this kind of stuff. Don't we get enough RF/EM around us already ? Why add some more, needlessly ?
i want one!!! gimme gimme gimme!!!

But, actually, my post wasn't a joke. Those things work like a transformer, the mat got the primary winding, the phone part got the secondary one. Even if nothing is charging, it's just a damn coil plugged into the wall, 'transmitting' the mains frequency into the air, pointlessly. Maybe it is completely harmless, but maybe it isn't. And since i usually charge my phone at night, and keep it nearby, this would mean putting this stupid field emitter just next to my head, just for the sake of not plugging a connector in ? Sorry, but no thanks.

um, you do know that the way these pads work is thru electro-magnetic induction right? basically a oscillating magnet (a magnet that moves or "vibrates") in the pad produces a electric charge in a wire in the cover that coverts the magnetc field into a charge... from my understanding its the oscillation rate that prevents it from affecting anything else but the wire in the cover.. if your afraid of this you might as well be afraid of refrigerator magnets too.. or hell, any electro-magnetic device.. the speaker in the phone, the alternator in your car, your fan...
You have a strange way of representing it (an oscillating magnet ? well, fair enough, an oscillating magnet would certainly create a similar magnetic field).
You are actually correct here, I would NOT want to have an electric motor, a big transformer, alternator, or anything similarly powerful, that emits strong magnetic fields, at about a meter from my head, for an extended period of time, and thats exactly where my phone usually is at nights. Nor i would like a strong DC magnet right next to me all the time. Would you like to be in an MRI room, needlessly ? And, btw, the fact the 'receiver' is tuned to the transmitter frequency doesn't prevent the transmitter from affecting everything else around. Wanna see for yourself ? Try dropping a small metal object on that mat, it should start buzzing on it like crazy, lol. And if it doesn't, the thing probably operates on RF frequencies, that's even worse
PS: The phone speaker and fridge magnets are off the list here for obvious reason, having a very 'low power' fields.
Looking at PowerMat's FAQs, looks like it won't work if you have it in a case. Too bad. Wish it'd work with my otterbox.
Check out the review of the powermat cover for a BlackBerry. Shows it works with a silicon cover

Got mine from Walmart - $49.97. Kinda touchy about where you place your HD2 on the mat. Plus I can't use my clear case with it because the door is too bubbled out. The good thing is, I can still use velcro on the door. It will make sufficient connection through the velcro.

It's transmitting only a magnetic field. Are you really worried about that?
Reminds me of the NIMBYs who cried about having power cables nearby, then I see 'health magnets' advertised in magazines
What about the phone signal?
And WiFi? TV and Radio transmitters? EMF from power cables? There are many things throwing radio/light/radiation signals at us all day.
EDIT: I just saw your more recent post. Electromagneteic Conduction is the technology used, as stated by the company themselves
hi, i want to ask you about this
yesterday a ****ing guy tried to steal my android and he didn't get it, but he managed to break my headphones, so i have to buy a new ones
i had the lg stock ones that were pretty cool (i think)
but well, you know more than i so, wich one would you recommend? if possible if you know that they are in Argentina, way better XD
and what is better, the simple headphones, i mean, the ones inside the ears, or the big ones like the dj ones and stuff, that cover all the ear?
also i'd like to have at least one button, so i can change the song! if more buttons, of course better but well, i don't want to buy headphones that are more expensive that the phone itself XD
hope you can help me soon, so i can buy them today
thanks!
I'm currently using the iPhone/iPod headphones (the ones that have the mic and button on them) because my Skullcandy ones broke. They are actually pretty good, which was a surprise (as you may know, Apple headphones of old were terrible)
Note: The button and mic DO work on the GT540.
The dj style ones are good when djing and you need good bass reverb and noise cancellation otherwise in ear is better for on the go
As for buttons to change song etc i find setting the vol buttons or cam button work fine and dont really need them on the headphones but to each there own
Im currently using a pair of sennheisers that i got for around 40 dollars and they are amazing very very loud but no distortion and good bass
I listen to mostly dubstep and electrohouse so ive been through quite a few different brands and styles
Sent from my tf101 using xda premium 1.54Ghz
sennheiser cx 300 in-ear, I dont linke using big headphones in street y los venden en Musimundo. Maybe a little expensive but they are excellent. Be carefully about fakes one, specially in mercadolibre.
I had these earphones http://www.canyon-tech.com/products/audio_video/headphones/CNR-EP8
they are nothing fancy but they have really good bass response. Anyway cable near jack broke so I used LG headphones that came with the phone and opened that plastic casing where the mic and the button are. Then removed old earphones (they were quite ****ty ) and soldered Canyon ones. Put everything back and glued plastic casing (it was glued already so it needed a bit force to open it).
The result is this

Just an idea if you have old earphones at home and a little spare time
Just any headphones in the 20 dollar price range. No use buying more expensive ones as output of the GT540 cannot provide a full potential.

Are you pulling the cable a lot, or how do you wear them? Mine earphones often last a year. After that cable close to jack always breaks. Try to replace the jack on your Phillips earphones with some other jack, they should work. Also when buying new headphones always look out to buy earphones with 90 degrees angle jack instead straight ones.

i have them in my pocket and they were 180 degree but they never break .. only this problem
i would say i dont pull too often but might be the problem
will try to replace the jack but for now i have to learn :/
xDD
edit: aargh damn tried it though but no success so wasted time ?
i wish i were better in such things

These wires are thin so you will have to solder them toghether. While soldering wires plug the jack into phone and play some music and put them in ears so you can hear when you have made a good contact. Its a tricky job so you will have to be patient. Also if earphones have casing for mic and button you could open it and solder wires in there so the solder isnt visible.
Also from what i can see from image that jack has two cables. In first is GND and Left channel and in other is GND and Right channel. Ussually channels are red, blue or green color, and ground is often yellow, gold, black or brown.
Good luck

I haven't had any broken philips headphones even after heavy abused; Shared it, wrapped it around device, tossed in washing machine.
2 years ago had Skullcandy Full Metal Jack and they broke automatically as if there were a chip to dislocate the wires to either headphone jack or speaker itself. I kept them into a case, never put stress onto the wire. Still managing to be replaced twice in a year on warranty. All three broke within 3-4 months of use.
My Sennheiser CX500 never had such problem. It is a little more than one year old.
It is the matter of built quality and I believe manufactures have purposely made higher end headphones less durable. It is to get consumers hook into premium sound before breaking. The matter of demand and profit.
Hi i used two kind of brands :
Mobo its works and sounds great but the problema is de mic dont works fine.
Phillips for ipod, this second is great and very powerful sound.
Anyone know if it is possible and where to get the Australia (AU) type head for the power adapter?
I mean the thing on the left:

Adapter mod
Take a pair of pliers and carefully twist the pins to match an Australian plug.
The pins are usually quite soft.
The secret is to grab them right up near the plastic before twisting them.
If you do it right the plug with fit in fully flush with the powerpoint.
I did my Nexus 10 adapter no problems (exactly the same as the one in your photo,and shown below).
I've done it with over 10 different chargers-adapters over the years and never had any issues at all,as long as the transformer is dual voltage (120v - 240v)
I don't like the adapters,they make the adapter too long and look dodgey.

This was my last resort. I have done many in the past with this method. But I failed once (because the plastic around the metal, for the cheap adapter i a had, cracked), But I think I will have to do the twist method. I cannot find anyone online selling just the au style prong.

Please dont ever recommend to someone to just "bend stuff till it fits" when dealing with electricity. While it may work out much of the time, someone reading and in a different voltage region of the world could have terrible things happen to their device, or it could cause other issues with someone being electrocuted and such. Its just a bad idea.
These power adapters should be the same between a lot of Samsung devices. I know my Galaxy Tab 2 has the exact same adapter as the Nexus 10. Most likely you could buy an Australian power adapter for a Samsung tablet (since these are all 2A output) or possibly a Samsung phone and get exactly what you need.

Regarding the different voltage,if you read my reply fully you would have seen this "as long as the transformer is dual voltage (120v - 240v)."
I wasn't saying for anybody to just go bending the pins on any power adapter,I was saying it is quite safe to do it with this particular one.
In my opinion doing it this way is safer than using one of those cheap dual voltage adapters.
I'm an electrician by trade,I would not do this if it was anywhere near dangerous.
Regarding using another charger from a different Samsung device,that is more dangerous than doing the pin bend mod if the Milliamp rating is not the same (which you don't seem to mention).

lol. I did see that, I even left it in the quote. But lots of people have no idea about voltage and such and your advice *could* seriously hurt someone who has no clue what they are doing. These "cheap dual voltage adapters" at least pass certification and are sold by someone who accepts responsibility for their design. You are just throwing advice out to modify electronics until they fit. I too am an electrician, and maybe we just do things differently in my part of the world but the way things are designed is for a reason and there is such a thing called "electrical code" where I come from. Maybe in your part of the world you can get away with "just bending stuff" but that kind of advice would get you either a massive fine or thrown in jail here. But whatever, people can do what they want. I was just trying to voice some sanity to this very bad advice.

I'm not modifying any electronics,I just bent a couple of conductors to make them fit,there is a big difference.
There is nothing electronic in the adapter,it is just 2 conductors in a bit of plastic,nothing complicated here.
We have something in my part of the world called common sense.
So if you accidently bend one of your pins on one of your own power plugs do you throw it away?
Because straightening it again will weaken it and this will be bad in the eyes of the powers that be that will throw you in jail or give you a massive fine.
Like I said,this simple mod is safer than telling people to use any Samsung charger on their device without checking it's rating as you did.
So before you go picking at other peoples advice,maybe you should check your own.
Anyway,i'm not here to argue with you,I was just giving my input to help out the OP.
He can either take it or leave it,the same as anyone else reading it can.
Now I know that I'm new to this device and it's forum but I'm so used to having a random place to post literally anything that was on my mind about my current device in it's forum that I thought it would be a great idea to start a replica thread for this device
I hope this proves to be useful and helps strengthen the OnePlus One's community and get users acquainted with each other and their various views and opinions.
And please, remember the forum rules and always remember to be respectful to each other.
Have a great day :fingers-crossed:

I actually like the USB charging cable, wish it longer in length though. A bit short and just long enough to put it on my desk. I like how the package was uniformly red
I actually like it too, just wish it was longer also. Yeah, the entire box and packaging is nice!
How are your liking the phone overall? I like the hardware, and the software too tho I think overall it needs some polishing.

Have to agree on the cable; the S III cable was a 3ft cable, so i abused it...now I'm like a good dog on a short leash.

And it looks like the USB cable that OnePlus supplied makes the phone charge faster too otherwise I would use one of my USB cables from prior phones. Although I should really run my own GSam test and test it for myself using previous cables to see if I'd come up with the same results

If they included Beats by Dre headphones it would make the package even better. Although, I don't really like Beats by Dre headphones since I personally find them to be expensive and not worth paying for with the audio quality it produces. I can definitely say that it would look really nice with the rest of the red though.
I love the phone, I have the yellow tint here and there on the bottom but its not that bad and not really noticeable. Feels good in the hand, using the Diztronic TPU case right now. Not as nice as the sandstone but still very nice to hold in the hands and I love the fact how the case hides the chrome bezels to make OPO a purely black phone. Battery life is so amazing on this phone.
My one complaint is that the phone is pretty difficult to see outdoors in direct sunlight. It gets easier to see when using a white background instead of black though.
I really hope they take this invite system off soon as the specs are still great in terms of other flagships. With this invite system off, it will probably bolster the accessories available for the OPO.

Looks like he tried to get the back cover off and damaged it.
Looks like this thread is doing it's job I'm glad.
I think the USB cable is a bit short too.
And the packaging is awesome, but my red ribbon to pull the red box out of the white box kinda came off when I applied force to it.
My device is weird though, because it would go from 35% battery to 100% in about an hour.
I havent been able to kill it at all lol
OH Yeah! This is my 400th post to XDA, so kill that thanks button if you want

When I was unboxing it and was putting the box back together, the white tray (holding the phone) wasn't fully into its spot and I put it back in and I had troubles pulling the box back out so theres some tear on the box but I eventually forced it back out. Not sure if this happened to anybody else.
Well thats what the amazing charger does ... its nice because a lot of the older Android phone took at least 2 or more hours to charge unless you had a charger with higher amps.
Congrats on ur big 400!

Lol Thanks buddy! I just looked at the charger, 2A 5V as opposed to some of the older chargers with 5V 450mA lol no wonder it just powers through charging like that.
Though the Oppo's charger (should be deemed as the "SuperCharger" of phones) takes the cake. I haven't tried it personally, but the reviews says that it goes from 0- 100 in a matter of minutes (I'd guess about 30 minutes? Give or take a few). But that's what's expected from a 4.5A charger lol

A lot of my old chargers were 1.2-1.3A, the aftermarket charger I was using before was 1.8A which still charges the OPO quite nicely. I read that Samsung also gives 2A chargers to their new phones as well. Its common for phones with large mAh. It is nice that Samsung uses USB 3.0 though.
As nice as wireless charging, it can't deliver the same speeds as wired charging. So for me, wireless charging doesn't matter. Plus its not really wireless, you're just paying for a dock pretty much.
