Firstly, I would like to stress what an excellent piece of kit the Jabra "Dog Tag" BT3030 is. The music sounds awesome and to say I was pleasantly surprised is an understatement.
However, the issue I have is that whenever I change song via the Dog Tag, the Touch HD "wakes up". You can imagine that this kind of defeats the purpose though, as I don't want the phone to be active when it's in my pocket and I'm running around.
Is there any way to stop it waking up?
Bump for help
uh, i wanted to know that too, but anyway i'm getting used to it...
my solution now is use S2U2, which it wakes up at its "Slide to Unlock" screen and won't do any harm..
I see the same behavior with mine when I press pause or play but I don't use that set daily anymore.
I now use a set of Phillips SHB7100 which is brilliant. The wires are integrated into the lanyard which was my bigges issue with the Jabras.

One strange thing tho is that the Phillips do not automatically connect A2DP when the autopair. They only connect as a headset for phone calls the I have to manually connect the A2DP. Annoying but worth it.

What do you mean by this?
One of the main reasons I wanted the Jabra BT set was because I could use my own headphones. I'll be changing the chain though when I go back to Bahrain!
In terms of solving the original issue, I've enabled "Device Lock" on my phone. Not an ideal solution but it's OK temporarily
The headphones can be released from the receiver and the layard can be separated.
These pictures should clear that up.
It's the same for the Jabra Dog Tag
I have another issue now - using the device lock, when the phone wakes up, no buttons are pressed. However, because the screen stays on for at least a minute, the battery drains rapidly. I need a proper solution to the initial problem, if any charitable soul can help me
Unless my dogtags are weird, the headphones on them are separate loose and kinda free to roam so they get annoying for me.

Oh THAT's what you mean! Fair enough then but I'm sure I could find a custom lanyard if it bothered me that much

Does anyone know of a way to make the phone keep vibrating after a missed call till a button is pressed or something? This would be handy so if i miss a call on my motor bike, I don't have to always look for the flashing led or the screen.
Thanx
I don't know about making it vibrate, but I just use these on my motorbike:

Its a bluetooth clip that supports A2DP for music, and handsfree for calls, and has a standard 3.5mm jack for any set of earbuds (or home stereo, or whatever). The clip houses the controls and the mic for taking a call.
so, what I've done is embedded speakers into my helmet (taken from cheapo headphones with a snapped over-the-head band), and I plug them into this which clips onto my jacket/shirt.
Then, I can take calls by pressing the button on my jacket, and also control music streaming from my phone at the same time, all while riding around on the bike.
Works great, but the people can hardly hear me over the wind unless I pull over first!
spb phone suite has an option for that, if you dont mind spending the 20 bucks (it has lots of other useful features)
i recently bought the motorola S9 BT headset and use it exactly for this purpose. It sounds awesome, especially when i change the rubber ear pieces so they fit better in my ear! The controls are easy to access and it works *****en with my mogul/titan phone. Now i can listen to all the music i've been missing out on for the last couple of years (while on my way to work). Now if i could only find a way to listen to FM radio!

my phone wont vibrate while on vibrate? I havent killed the Led either.
any suggestions?
Phonealarm does this as well as a ton of other stuff.
Hi, is it possible to install any software to support these earphones? I tried it with several phones, seems like Nokia and Xperia dont support it while Samsung does.
I have done some research and it is due to the additional mic channel that cause the problem. It is not like it is totally not working, just that it sound like the music lost layers...
anybody has any experience to this?
Thanks!
Any specific reason why u wanna use one of the worlds crappiest earphones?
LOL as if they would be crappy...haha.
Hmm, when you try to listen to music with XPERIA Headphones and iPod the same thing happens: it sounds like the music lost layers. But when you push the "speak" button it is okay. I did not try the new headphones with the XPERIA so I can't help you for now but I'll have a look later on.
I dont think this is a software issue.
Iphone's head set jacks is a little different from any head set iv seen.

They are BULL****.
Nah
I think Apple's Headset is technically the same as the X1 headset
It should work.
I said should.
You should try it for yourself
Thanks for the replies.
haha, no, i bought the new dual driver version for my ipod.
i came from Crossroads Bijous, i must say they are quite good, better compared to the stock Xperia's and even some sony's dynamic drivers earphones.
Yes! when you press down the mic button, it sounds ok again...
if its a hardware issue, then its really quite a waste..
the real problem is that there is no real std for mini jack with mic too
every company can do it as they see fit
no std for the 3th ring
no std for it's placement
or it's width
so it's always pretty much hit or miss
hi guys, think i solved it!
by using the headphones with the xperia adapter, it actually sounds normal. but i must say theres a good deal of background hiss... is this xperia's problem?
not sure if the mic works... cos the adapter comes with mic too...
it don't and the reason you don't have any issues is that
the adapter don't carry the 3 ring for mic at all so it don't interfear

i think its because of lack of impedance matching.
u ll have to get an impedance adapter to reduce that background hiss.
costs like $2 to $10..

What's the best bluetooth stereo headset for the gym/working out...? I want something that is a very minimal design, nothing that's is padded, etc..
Thanks
S9 HD
I have Motorola S9 HD and I love the sound quality.
http://www.jaybirdgear.com/bluetooth-stereo-headphones-buy.php
i'm interested in these, i've read they're supposed to be very good for gym/working out (stand up against sweat) but i've been trying to find an unbiased review on them without shelling out 130$
nexus one being newer also, its not showing on the compatibility list, but i assume it would have no problem with these or vice versa
I have a sony-ericsson hbh-ds220 which has served me well for a number of years - I liked it coz it has a 3.5mm socket so you can use your own headphones.
the power button just started playing up, probably got too much sweat in there and its corroded now so I am on the lookout for something else with a socket and suitable for the gym.
Best Bluetooth headphones for music and the gym
The best solution to listen to music wirelessly but stay connected to your phone is here: mi-sport.net
You can put 4gb worth of music directly onto the headphones, get voice cues to guide you through playlists and albums, but still stay linked to your phone for calls. It`s also fully waterproof for the gym - or swimming. For me, this is far better.
I have the LG HBS-250 headphone. It does the job in the gym. Good clarity music and good for taking calls occasionally. One thing I hate is mute function. It keeps on beeping when on mute. But for 35 bucks I can't ask for more.

It's compact and it comes with an FM radio. And it has a 3.5mm jack so you can use any of headphones you like. Battery life is excellent and the OLED screen tells you the caller ID (phone numbers only though). It can be paired with 2 devices simultaneously. So if you pair with it with a gaming device, say a PSP, and there is an incoming phone call, it automatically switches to the phone so you can answer the call with one click of a button.

Is there any audio fidelity lost when using this bluetooth adapter? I mean compared to having the headphones connected directly to the phone.
I'm not an audiophile but I know that all bluetooth headsets lose audio fidelity more or less. IMO and also according to the reviews, the MW600 loses very little and the loss is very unnoticeable.
Can anything be done about the poor mic. sending HIAB signals to others? To me it is in a crazy place on the side exactly where you old the phone, so your fingers cover the mic. hole. there also seems to be a plastic shroud over the mic. once the back is off. Does this shroud do anything?
Thanks
I think this is for you McKeebop

I've also read that some users puzzled about that opening at the side before.
Atm, I'm not really sure what to do.
I'll take a closer look this evening.
I guess a Dremel can help us out of this situation
I'll be back later, as reallife takes too much time atm...
Thanks for that McK.
There is a plastic insert over the Mic. hole in the chassis, if that makes sense, reducing the actual orifice to a very small aperture.... so a dremel should not be required. I just wonder why they have sleeved it down with an extra piece of plastic and not included the moulding in the main case. You might know, having disassembled your phone!
Just did some investigation...
It seems to be really the mic underneath that little cover.
I don't know what the phone did wrong to be treated that bad by S///E.
I thought first that heavy fastened vibra engine is worst of all.
But a soldered mic?
WTF?
There isn't even a chance to switch the mic with a solder iron.
You had to give it a try with a hot air station.... or throw the phone to the basket (what I guess is intended by S///E).
But another thing:
I tested the mic from the test suit within the service menu.
Whatever I did, which hole I covered....
The recording volume remained similar at all time?
So maybe that whole "uuuh, I placed my finger to the hole of the mic and nobody hears me " might be false + placebo?
Could anybody else please give it a try?
My Ears aren't that good anymore
So its just a crap mic. or poor accoustic software then?.........................
You can easily point it out:
Use a Headset.
- If Mic quality is still bad; its the software.
- If Mic quality get better; the onboard mic sucks..
I'd say its that subminiature onboard mic
I can't say it after all.
I use to telephone 95% of time from my car with a Parrot MKI9100
Is there a bluetooth headset w/ mic and 3.5mm jack?
I have an Ipod shuffle and a defy and I want to use both, I don't want to use my defy as a music player and having 2 headset is a no no neither
Does this combination exist or are there any way for it to be done?

Bluetrek Musicall
I picked up a Bluetrek Musicall at Frys for just under $50. I use it at work paired with both my deskphone and my computer, if I'm listening to music on the computer and the phone rings it breaks in. The little dent at the top is the mic, and the headphone plugs in on the top left. The back is a metal clip and it recharges via USB plugged in to the headphone jack. Battery life is only about 6-7 hours so by the end of the day I'm switching to a cable, and this sounds like typical for these devices. I'd get another one if I need it, works fine.

I saw another design that looks like a dog tag that seemed cool too.
revive?
Does anyone know of a bluetooth device with both Microphone and Headphone jacks? Or a jack that does both (which I could then split out?)?
This one is cheap and customers seems to be satisfied.
