wired oem headset in mono or stereo? - Touch CDMA General

i have recently upgraded to the vogue from the titan.
using the oem wired headset with the titan, i can hear in stereo(both ears), but now with the vogue, i can only hear on one ear with the wired headset.
is this normal for the vogue?

mine works just fine , but wtf is upwith the one short earpiece and one really long one is mine just messed up or what?

Yeah that sounds like it's definitely defective, I'd send it back or call HTC.
I think they (earbud manufacs) make all these damn things that way now. Drives me up a flippin' wall...

Mine is Stereo as well, somethings up with that; you should send that back, I was joking around with 120 up above, but this isn't correct. Is music tweaked like that too; or is it just while in a call, etc.?

Headset

HI there,
Has anyone modded their headset to fit decent headphones??? IF not can anyone recommend a good sounding bluetooth headset or an adapter so you can plug your own headphones in yet retain mic functionality.

I'm getting a set of Jabra BT8010's.
Got the jabra bt8010, and is excellent with our device. The caller ID is a god send, works a treat. However the named contact are limited to only 30 names. Performance using A2DP is very good. Range and performance and reliability are excellent compared to previously tested devices. I got mine from Amazon for around £66 delivered.

If you are looking for ultimate sound like me, then you should always use a wire headset
I have wired Sennheisers as they are fantastic quality, but I also bought the Jabra 8010 for it's caller ID, vibrate function and phonebook. The quality of the sound in stereo headset mode is not fantastic, but easily as good as the usual wired solutions you get with HTC phones. It's just if you're used to Sennheisers, you're a bit spoilt and nothing else seems as good. I am still waiting for a stereo BT headset with phone functionality but bass-enhancing Sennheiser style earpieces, though.

I am using ACS T2i for my music headset (you might not know this). And for answering the call, i have iTech Clip D which has caller ID. They work together smoothly. If you have the wired headphone plug in, you can still answer the call from your Bluetooth headset.
I notice that itech do one call the s38, its the same as the clip d but has a 3.5mm jack so you can use your own headphones. THs that this might bethe way forward. Definately worth investigating

it's not the same, there are lots of iTech headphone and they all look the same, the clip D has an external LCD so you can display caller ID. s38 don't have external LCD, but it has media control

I am looking at the Jabra BT325s, that should allow me to plug any phone I like into the BT receiver. Any experience?
http://www.jabra.com/JabraCMS/EM/EN/MainMenu/Products/MobileMusic/JabraBT325s/JabraBT325s.htm

For those using the Athena as a primary phone

I am not. But, in the event I want to, I just bought this, the LG Style-i bluetooth 'mini-handset"(see link below), and, it works very nicely with the Athena. It has good sound, and the dialpad works well, and is extremely convenient. As is the incoming caller ID. And it is light, thin, and clips to a pocket nicely. It pairs easily, and stayed paired even when the Athena went into hibernation mode. It's perfect for use with the Athena.
I suggest it, for the potential $50 one can find it for on E-Bay (like I did).
It really is a pretty useless device, for anything else except the Athena! For any other phone, it's, well, like getting your dog a dog.
http://reviews.cnet.com/LG_Style_i/4505-1_7-31826853.html?tag=viddet
Yes, I was very tempted to get this, but I may as well carry a second phone...
Also, its like $45 post to UK, and i refuse to pay that. Its not really that expensive. I posted a repaired Universal back to the USA once for less than $20 in its box with all accessories!
I just ordered clip style bt headset with Stereo 3.5mm headphone jack. I listen to music a lot on the Athena and the style-i is no use for that.
I may still end up getting a Style-I if i can find one for a sensible price, it looks quite cool. Recently ive been answering the Athena on speakerphone with no BT headset. If you turn the volume down you can hold it to your ear like the older HTC phones. Only real problem is the giggles you get from surrounding people.
Well, the big advantage of the Style-i is the dial pad and caller ID. Makes for use like a real phone. And, it's tiny. Only con is there's no "+". You need to use 00 or 011, depending where you are to dial internaitonally.
I like it..r u using it now...can u inform how easy is the dial function?
Also does the contact list can be accessed?If u can throw more light,it will b nice..

Which headset have you gone for. I'm thinking of ordering something similar for convenience. I'd appreciate hearing how you get on with yours.
I'm using the Jabra BT8010 and it has really made my Ameo work like a real phone in that I can leave it in my bag/briefcase and just have the headset in my pocket which vibrates and tells me who's calling. I know loads of headsets do this, but it also has an extra earphone so you can listen to music as well. Genius!

Mee too using Jabra BT8010. Overall it's a good headset, the best perhaps. Only one minor thing is that it can't show contacts from my Dopod U1000. Just very annoying about that.

The good thing about Jabra BT8010 is it has external screen and also you listen to music with it. My suggestion is if you only want one headset to do all this and don't really mind the sound quality, then Jabra is your best choose.
For other people who care about sound quality and want to use their own headset to listen music, then iTech clip D is not a bad choice too, I am using it at the moment, it also has external LCD screen and it display contact name correctly, so when someone call, you actually see their name on the screen.
No doubt these are the two best option out there for Athena.
But,none of these others have a dial pad, for making a call,correct?

The way I figured it was: Start price on most seems to be $34. BIN is $60-something.
$-£ is so good right now, I'll swallow the $45 shipping if I get it for the start price.
And that's exactly what happened, because so many are listed people think the same way.
So - £40. Shipped.
Find me a Bluetooth headset in the UK for £40 delivered to your door that does what the Style-i appears to do (I don't have mine yet, probably next week I'll get it or later this week!).
I have one to!
I have one of the Style i handsets, it is a good little device. Makes whipping your phone out of your pocket a thing of the past!
Ive found that 99% of the time it pairs instantly. Also the voice commands work well too, for the lazy people out there!
The Style i works really well as a phone, you can either dial using the handset, or call a contact via the phone and it diverts through the handset.
I would say that the only annoying thing is remembering to take it everywhere along with my phone! (left it in my jacket pocket which i dont wear for work!) Oh well, not a major issue, just another piece of hardware to take with me.
Overall i'd say its a very good alternative for people wanting to use the phone side of the Ameo.
Got mine today! So - bought 4th May from the US, arrived 8th May signed-for delivery. That's pretty impressive. According to the receipt their actual postage costs are $24.80 for that service, so $20 - £10 - for eBay fees, time to pick and post the item (US Postal Service, if they use post offices then these usually involve a drive out and a wait, during business hours, even if they are using online payment/postage label printing facilities from eBay).
I don't think their postage charges are entirely unreasonable.
The device itself seems great - does exactly what I hoped it would do. Admittedly it's Yet Another Gadget to keep charged and try not to lose (I lost my original HBH-35 headset, and I was annoyed because it was really comfortable and reliable). I'll still use my BSH-100 headphones (or get better ones) for music and so forth, but this makes the Ameo totally useful as a phone - and given the rates T-Mobile give you for minutes, NOT using the Ameo as a phone is a bit of a waste!
Well, I really would get the Style-I £40 isnt so bad, but I want stereo. I dont want to have two headsets. (style-I + stereo headset)
I ordered the iTech R35 clip headset. It has Media controls for volume/track skip/play pause as well as a 3.5mm headphone jack. This means I can use standard headphones as well as still get all the BT calling benefits. Im looking for a nice pair of minidisk headphones now (they have extra short leads) to use with it. Ill let you know how I get on with it when it arrives.
I have the Plantronics Pulsar 590A headset, this is amazing. It has to be the best headset solution ive come across so far. The sound is great and it works for calls so well. Swapping between calls and music is easy and the buttons work without having to fiddle for ages. I would be using this every day if it wasnt for the fact that the charger socket has broken and I cant get them to charge The addition of a Bluetooth transmitter for my iPod makes it so usefull. I can even plug the transmitter into my PSP/DS etc and game while still able to take calls.
I bought a cheap I-Wing stereo headset from Maplin UK for £30. This works well, is very compact and apart from reasonably poor bass (not unexpected) its an ok solution. Easily pocketable and not too obtrusive when left around the neck.
I rate the Plantronics as the best ive used, but not entirely practicle for all day at work due to the size and the fact you look like a DJ with them round your neck.

One of the most important feature of BT8010 is that it can vibrate. Really a perfect match when used with Athena.

Which BT Headsets work??

All,
I thought I would start a thread where people can post what headsets they have and/or are using with the Kaiser. That way, if people want to buy a headset to use with the Kaiser they can know ahead of time whether or not it will work. I love this device, but right now I am not very pleased with my headset. Respond and I will try to keep it up to date!!
1. (Me) Plantronics 665 - Previously a very good headset. Now with Kaiser, not very good quality. Barely functional with lots of static.
2. Moto H700 - Seems to be good. (x2)
3. Moto HT820 - Stereo Headphones, but good.
4. Plantronics 310 - No report.
I'm using the Motorola H700 and it works fine.

I am using the HT700 for standard driving. But I also use the Motorola HT820, BT stereo headphones, and they work as well. Music plays from the phone, and if a phone call comes in, Microsoft Voice Command annouces the caller. I can then press the call phone, the music pauses, I take the call. When the call is over, the music resumes where it left off.
i have a set of the ht820 but I feel like a retard with em on cause they are huge, anyone tried those new slim ones they sell at the ATT store?

Then call the Olympics, cause I feel special
For me it’s a Plantronics 310 right now, but I'm looking to upgrade. I will likely stick with one of their products too, as I’ve processed around a quarter million inbound via their wired sets at work.
There was mention of a pretty cool Jawbone modification by AVERYSOUND in an earlier thread. It’s pricy however but worth looking at. It appears to address complaints I’ve heard about the earpiece not being a factor.
Update: I found Discovery 510 (Plantronics) that I had misplaced some time back. Well I charged it up and paired to the Kaiser earlier today. What a bummer. The sound quality is ok, but the volume is just too low, even at the max setting. It’s also bit more cumbersome to slip on in a pinch (like while driving). Bottom line is the 310 sounds much better to me from a volume standpoint.
Fwiw…

me too, doesn't stop me from wearing them
the new ones do look a whole lot cooler, I didn't care so much but with as sleek as the tilt looks my headphones should match
The Blueant Z9 works very well. I like how voice command is announced through the headset.
Jabra JX10
I have the JX10. It was a dream with my 8525 it sounded and worked great.
caveat: in general it is a very delicate and breakable headset -- I have had two of them and done numerous repairs to keep them from falling apart - I have cannibalized the first to keep the second one going - but what the hell, I love that little head set with my 8525.
BUT
It is an unusable pig connected to the Tilt.
It pairs ok, but when you activate voice command or try to answer a call it activates the phone but will not transfer sound (or mic) to the ear piece. Sometimes after a short time the JX10 beeps and then you can hit the connect button again and it will transfer the sound. If you place a call it will not play the ring signal into the ear piece or the handset and it will only allow you to connect sound (signaling you with a couple of beeps) to hear the call until after the called party has answered.
Maddening!
I've actually struggle to answer or make a call using it and finally got the sound through only to hear my friends on the other side yelling "HELLO?! - HELLO! - YOUR PHONE SUCKS!"
it's embarrassing.
Don't even get me started about how bad it sounds on the Tilt.
I'm tempted to go back to the Hermes, but I love my new Tilt...
I need a high quality compatible headset...
The Samsung WEP200 works very well with the Tilt.
im using the plantronics 590 and it works LIKE A CHARM!
there's a thread on this over in accessories btw. I'm moving this thread there as well. Let me know if you want me to merge the two.
Motorola S9 works very well. Much better than with WM6 on Hermes.
I still need to verify my Sony Erickson DS970 Lanyard Wireless Stereo Headset..
Jawbone
I purcahsed the jawbone with military sound dampening....its pretty cool. I use it alot and it sounds GREAT!
Now I am alos looking at the Mototola s9, as I want to be able to listen to music. Let me know if anyone has robb with the S9. for the reviews on the Motorola S9 seem 50/50.

I have been using mine for about 2 months and so FAR really good with the ATT Stock ROM. On the Hermes with WM6 cooked ROM's I experienced strange issues like music resuming after a call (even though the music was paused BEFORE the call came in). Since getting away from the cooked Hermes ROM's (no offense to anyone at all), the performance has been SOLID. I am very Happy...

Jabra BT8010 Convertible (single/stereo) headset
Well, since I figured I was going to be really stepping into the 21st century by getting my Tilt, I determined to jump into it with both feet ! Hence this headset.
I did alot of research on the BT headset (like I did on the Kaiser/Tilt itself), and I knew pretty much what I wanted to do -- and this Jabra BT8010 convertible (mono/stereo) headset totally fit the bill. I planned on answering calls as normal, but I listen to alot of music, too, and wanted just one thing to carry around. If you haven't seen one of these headsets online, it's about the only one I'm aware of that "converts" -- that is, it has a main unit, and the "second half", or "satellite" that makes the stereo part of the equation optionally plugs into and tethers to the main part when you want to listen to music, too. The whole thing is quite small and svelte -- though ever so slightly "cyborg" (you'd have to see it worn).
The function of this headset has been flawless so far, and the sound quality is just mind-blowing (yeah, it's that good). Volume won't get quite as head-bangingly loud as I might like, but the overall fidelity and usable flexibility of this combo just puts it head over shoulders above anything else I've tested out.
A little pricey, but they are just really good.
I use the stereo headset Jabra BT620s with the Kaiser. It works very well both for music and for the phone, even in noisy environments
The old school Motorola HS850 works fine from my experience. I also own a Jawbone, which sounds tinny when compared to the HS850.

Motorola S9 for me too
though I could never paired it to a 2nd device SIMULTANEOUSLY though ... any advice ??
I followed the instructions to a T ... yet, it always paired to the last one ... I thought this is capable of upto 9 devices in list ... and they said it's capabled of simultaneous pairing ???
summary:
/ paired to phone.
/ turn off phone and attempt to paired to 2nd device ( desktop stereo ... desktop PC ..etc..etc
/ even went as far as "unticked" the "use as stereo headset" withing the bluetooth setting on phone !! only ticked as " use as handsfree " ... tried both ways too.
it always connect only the the last paired device.
now ... if I'd only paired to the phone ... it works as advertised in terms of listening to music and calls come in get interupted to answer the call & back to music when call ended.
but I can't use it as just handsfree on the phone and listen to music from another device ( bluetooth home entertainment ... desktop bluetooth PC...etc )
pairing to any device(s) individually works fine ... just not simultaneously though
any advice ???

Problem with handsfree

Hi. I found out that my HD doesnt anymore figure that when i plug in handsfree that it is one. Only shows that they are earphones which do not have microphone.
It does that with all 3.5mm handsfrees Ive tried, also those which came from box. They worked for few weeks or so.
Now I bought new handsfree and would like HD to work with them properly.
Anyone with same problem? It is kinda annoying.
Wouldnt like to Hardreset or go for custom ROMs yet, since this is working pretty nice.
Do you mean once you plug the handsfree in....you can only hear stuff but the microphone doesn't work? Other people can't hear you when using the handsfree?

HD doesnt identify my handsfrees as HF. It identifies them as headphones (without microphone) so microphone doesnt work at all.
So yes, I can hear stuff but cannot speak.

[Q] Can't take a call with headphones through 3.5 mm stereo jack

Anybody verify that when headphones are plugged in to the 3.5mm stereo jack and a call is either placed or picked up that you can hear the person on the other end through the headphones but the person on the other end cannot hear you?
The mic is essentially disabled when the headphones are connected.
I have confirmed with Blackberry, HTC HD2, & Mytouch Headphones that you can indeed talk to the person. I did have a problem with pushing in the headphones in all the way, & when they weren't in all the way they couldn't hear me so make sure it is fully contacted with the jack.
Well it definitely looks like this is a proprietary issue. I took my phone back to verizon to check whether or not the phone was defective. Brought my handsfree (both Ifrogz and V-moda) to test on in-store fascinate. Made a phone call and the sales guy couldn't hear me. Put it in his storm2 and it worked just fine.
Went back and used a co-workers samsung's handsfree, and it worked perfectly. I wish they would've included the handsfree in verizon package. Unless somebody has tested out another handsfree brand to let us know, I'm thinking the 3.5mm jack is customized to samsung accessories only.
Interesting find!
Keep in mind I'm not trying to use a handsfree headset - I'm attempting to use my Bose In-Ear headphones.
I used to be able to take calls on my Incredible (and other phones) with them if I was out trail running, walking, just listening to music, etc.
You have an excellent good point with regards to a proprietary 3.5 mm port due to the fact that it also supports video out.
get a cheap nokia headset controller ad-54 on ebay.. the changes the wiring so calls can work through headphones.. ie one of these
http://cgi.ebay.com/AD-54-HS-45-Han...464602?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a0a6bd19a
I also can confirm that this doesn't work with the Fascinate. On numerous occasions, I have been walking to class on campus while listening to music. I assumed I could just answer the call and speak, because I could do that on my Droid X, but the caller wasn't able to hear me.
I'm assuming Bose headphones do not have a microphone, so how do you plan on using those for calls?
You need to use headphones with a 4 prong jack, which has a mic, such as the OEM ones

Plugging in the headphones disables the main microphone on the phone though, even if there is not a mic on the headset. Normally on other phones I've had, I could answer while on the headphones and just speak into the phone's mic, but that us not possible with this phone. I don't know if there is a remedy for this that doesn't involve using a special set of headphones...

I have confirmed with Blackberry, HTC HD2, & Mytouch Headphones that you can indeed talk to the person. I did have a problem with pushing in the headphones in all the way, & when they weren't in all the way they couldn't hear me so make sure it is fully contacted with the jack.

I used my old blackberry headphones from my Storm and doesn't work but I noticed my friend had a spare headphones for his HD2. I should asks him for them.i doubt he needs a spare since he rarely uses a headphone.

So I figyred how to use my blackberry headset on my Fascinate. I had to unplug after making a call and then plug it back in.
Why does every cell phone with top notch hardware specs get released with all these tiny little software glitches.

I'm not sure if it was just me but I also had something odd happen. I used to use my iPhone for navigation and music in my car so, naturally, I use my new Fascinate the same way. I received a call while using my bluetooth headset and the phone routed audio to the car stereo instead of the bluetooth headset. I could hear the caller but they (obviously) couldn't hear me. The audio source on the screen was set to bluetooth too. Fairly annoying.
Anyone able to solve this?
Are you on a stock rom or a custom one? I believe this has been fixed with the Super Clean rom.

I'm using SC 2.9.2 and the receiving end couldn't hear anything.
I've run into this same issue. My wife's car has a bluetooth phone connection, so when in her car, I have my phone plugged into her stereo for music. When a phone call comes through, the call is picked up through the bluetooth, but the other end can't hear me unless I unplug the cable from the headphone jack.

Samsung fixed it last fall (DJ05 and everything after). This thread necro is waaaaay misleading.
