Can't anything just work without problems? - a2dp this time!

hi,
after my wired headphones broke, i finally decided to update my wizard with the latest ROM with the a2dp profile to try out my i.tech clip s35 stereo bluetooth headset.
all i wished for was that it would work. it did, but not without the frustrating quirks.
i get good sound from the left speaker but only very faint (almost non-existent) sound from the right speaker, about 95% to 5% respectively.
does anyone know how i might solve this problem?
thanks,

HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/MaxSupportedBitPool - from 30 change to 58

thanks...it's more stereo now but now i'm experiencing"hissing"sound which never
before. can i adjust it to any other value? is there any combination i should follow?
thanks..
I found that "hissing" is dependant on the headset used.
My plantronics have almost no hiss, while my cheap i-tech things have lots.
Anybody else have the option to compare different headsets?

I use Samsung H200 for Handsfree - it has a sligt his when it initially connects which disappears as soon as the call is connected.
My Plantronics 590 headset has no hiss and sound absolutely clear and crisp.
Maybe the right placeereo head set and I paired it with my 7500 as a stereo head set
I posted this thread somewhere else,but it seems to me that people here understand the kind of problem I have
I use a motorola s9 st

And your problem is?
Oooooooops...
I didn't realize the whole message was missing,it is like when the celular line fails and you keep on talking...
Well so I have this magnificient Motorola headset S9 and I sucessfully paired it as a Hanfree and a Stereo headset
Everything is working perfect,except the fact that when I activate the voice tag (which usually with oter BT headset works perfectly) I cannot hear the beep telling me to say the voice tag and also I cant hear the confirmation (that the PDA understood what I said)
The voice tag DO work and if I am lucky it dials what I say but I can know only when someone pickup from the other side ....
when i dis-pair the stereo headset,it is working again.
I know it is not the most horrible problem reported in this forum,but if anyone can help....
How to play music via bluetooth device
I've got a set of Harman/kardon Soundstick II speakers and i wan't to play music wirelessly from my laptop (HP Pavilion dv6000 series) onto it i.e I don't wanna plug the speakers directly into the laptop.
I bought the Sony HWSBTA2W Bluetooth Transmitter/Receiver and have managed to connect/link it to my laptop. The problem is however, how do you get a music program such as Windows Media Player to play music via the Sony device. I have managed to play music from my Nokia 6600 phone through the device successfully but am unable to play music from my laptop.The Sony device appears as a bluetooth headset in my list of bluetooth devices, but does not appear as a speaker on my laptop.
And oh yes, my laptop is wireless and bluetooth enabled.
Or Is there another wireless dongle or bluetooth item of some kind that i can plug my speakers into and will stream the music down from my laptop.

Yes -- I have used the Motorola S9 (now broken) and the Jabra BT8010. Sounds good with both. Go for it.
hi there
i use it with my sony hbh ds970.
the only issues are:
would love it to be louder
and it doesnt display the caller name or song on the headset led.
over all the quality is good though.
hope this helps.

Any louder and mine would burst my eardrums! Are you sure yours is the genuine item? I've heard there are fakes arround which aren't as loud.
Or do you just like your music VERY loud?
ive tryed 3 bluetooth stereo headphones now, none of them where loud enough. my last set plantronics are ok, but you just cant beat the quality of a wired set. IMHO
And AMEO/ATHENA could use a plain wired bose headset : 99 euro the in-ear, but you can use also the noise cancelling ones ....
I assume that my hbh's are real given that i purchased them from an orange store (at 40% more than expansis- my fault for being impatient I guess).
the supplied headset is akin to something you would find in a cracker. my b&o A8 headphones sound great but i want auto switching between calls and music hence the sony option..
can any one suggest a bluetooth tranceiver with caller id (that works with wm6), built in mike and media player controls that allow me to use my own headphones?
oh... and by the way i do like loud music but my bt headset is significantly quieter.
cheers

You might consider the Jabra BT8010 which can function either way.

Hi IN,
does your HBH-DS970 vibrate at all? Mine doesn't and I can't find info on how to set it to vibrate mode. If it doesn't vibrate then this headset and its retarded sister (HBH-DS980, which I bought) are the dumbest headsets that have ever been built. They don't VIBRATE!!! So the only way to get call notification is to wear the ear pieces all the time. If you're thinking of buying it for your Athena, save yourself the trouble. DON'T!!!!!!! I'm returning it to Fry's Electronics after work today. Too bad as they are soo stylish. But then it's common for hot looking guys/girls to have no brains..... and hot looking electronics to have important functions missing!!!
hi there
nope mine doesn't vibrate but then to be fair I purchased in knowing that it doesn't.
there is a bluetooth watch (thingy) that will eventually be compatible with wm phones that will vibrate (not the sony/fosil ones). I will post back once it reaches market.
In an ideal world I would love a remote bluetooth device with vibrate, led/lcd (compatible with wm), built in mike, allows me to use my B&O head phones, complete control of media player (fm radio would also be nice).
surely not too much to ask for???
I think the closest is the NOKIA-HS-12W (not sure if it still marketed though)
Cool... Thanks for the info.

Working Wired headset list

Lets get a list going of working wired headsets ( mic & headset) for the Trinity.
The OEM headset that came with it won't even fit in my ears. For me to wear them is like putting my ears through some sort of perverse torture. I don't want bluetooth. I have the 3in1 adapter but who wants to carry that around with them. Has anyone found a solution? .........
*Wired headset and mic suggestions only please.
-Thanks in advance from my freakin swollen ear canals.

[Q] Head phones with mic

Hey people. Thanks for all info, been reading about the defy here for some time. Got one now and I love it. I had a few smartphones before and this is by far the one I would stick to forever if I had to.
So, my question is: Are there any good head phones (in-ear plugs, with mic and maybe even music controlers) avaliable, and that I can be certain to be compatible with the Defy? Or could I just buy any that works fine with other Android or Motorola devices? Motorola is not sold in Sweden where I live, so it's not like I can check out any stores IRL here...
With my Xperia x20 mini, exacly what I described came along with the phone. Too bad that you just got these normal plugs with the defy. Cos there is just no way I would use those. As of now I stick to my old head phones but I'd love the mic function with my In-ear plugs.
Thanks for any help!

Ok, so I found this site:
thinkmotoroladefy.com/wiredheadsets.html
and it's all looking good, except for the part that they are a bit low-priced. I'm looking for high quality ones. I.e my current head phones was about 90 USD.
For information, iphone handsfree works fine
Thanks!
By chance, does anyone know if "Klipsch Image S4i" would work? they seams to be perfect! Volume, track fwd bwd and play...
I got one of these a few months ago, works fine with my HTC Desire. Not the best headphones in the world, but more than capable of handling a bus ride. You can unplug the headphones, clip on a small plastic hook and use it as an in-ear Bluetooth headset too. Two birds with one stone
I can get around 10 hours out of them between charges.
Thanks, it seams to be mono, right? Mono doesnt sound too thrilling...
If you use power amp you can set it up to use the controls on headphones to start and stop music, instead of calling the last number you called. It will work on the lock screen too.
This was the only way of getting it to work i found for the defy and i tried about 10 different headphones with in-line controls. Bluetooth stereo sets like the one above with controls seem to work fine for music however, ive got a sony bluetooth set and the controls worked right away on the standard media player.

Hi everybody I'm new,
Does anyone can confirm this pinout for Defy's jack 3.5mm?
1. Tip - Left audio
2. Ring - Right audio
3. Ring - Ground
4. Sleeve - Mic
or this used in most mobiles:

I use Razer Moray+™ they have no remote function so you have to answer the call on the phone. But you have a mic and the work good for musik and phone calls.
anyone got an update for this, still looking for ear buds with a mic.
Klipsch Pro Media set(based on the S4i but a bit better build for traveling etc).
Awesome set up with defy. The S5i rugged set is also great as they are moisture proof and very overbuilt.

Thx,
Yeah, exactly as you wrote.
I remade cheap handset with remote (from eg. www.ebay.com).
It works with any headphones
I used my original headset on a iphone before. So I assume that every headset that works on the iphone should also work on the defy.

I wonder if Sony Ericsson's headsets work. These seem pretty good:
goo.gl/TquJQ
goo.gl/eQc9W
Would be good if they work.
BTW, I tried Samsung Galaxy SL's Stereo In ear handsfree and the sound quality was just awesome! Might get myself one of those!!
I've tried the iPhone standard headphones and sound works but Mic and controls don't. There is a pair of sennheiser mm50 Nokia. Which will work fine. Ordering one shortly.
Hi
I can confirm that at least not all iphone headset work the defy, even if the pinout is identical. I tried the Sennheiser MM70i and they don't work!
I soldered the mic of the standard Headset to the MM70 and now im happy,
but definitely nothing i can recommend
greetings
