Please list what BT headset do you use with your Universal and the Pros and Cons. I'm in the market looking for the best BT headset for the Universal so I'll need as many feedbacks as possible, thanks all
As if you'd need warning, but I would (on the whole) advise against going for a cheapy clip-on one. I bought one a while ago on the basis that (a) it was cheap and (b) I didn't want to strap a 2.4GHz mini-microwave oven to my head :lol:
It works ok, but is just about fiddly enough to make me stay with a wired setup or speakerphone.
From what I've read in other posts, there isn't yet a bt headset that integrates with the ppc well enough to show the name of the caller. I think that until that one's resolved I'll be holding fire anyway.
[OK, I know it's not a particularly helpful addition to the thread, but at least it bumps it, right ]

Hi,
I hope you people can help.
I looking for a Bluetooth headset thats got a a little display.
Hopefully this will display information like time, person calling, and possible scroll through contacts.
Due to the size of the Exec, I would like to store this in a backpack when out and about. And a smartheadset would really help.
Jabra BT800
Long battery life
Quick recharge
Reliable
Light
I never look at the display, other than to see the charge status.

BT headsets with displays don't display anything other than the caller number when used with HTC devices such as the Universal. Not sure why.
Smartphones need Smartheadsets..
Its just the XDA Exec is to big to carry in your jacket pocket.
And you need to open it everytime you need to call someon.
Living in london you get some looks on the underground.
And majority of all streetcrime involves mobile crime.
I`ve been toying with the of idea of a Mini-XDA Exec....
A device that small enough to fit into your pocket.
Snycs between the headset & XDA Exec.
With a display for Caller ID, Contacts, SMS...(Basic phone functions)
This would be a top seller..
I agree this would cost but would be perfect.
No more fearing getting mugged at the station.
No more being a flash git in the pub.
No more carring a brick in your pocket.
HTC should consider designing accessories.
Both the SE HBH-608 and Jabra Bt800 workl well. The battery life on the HBH-608 is just fantastic. I get about 8 days of use from it (it is on 10 hours a day). Ear piece volume is low on both models when used with the JJ. Need to test my HBH-300 and Jabra BT330.
Edit: @rilot, for caller ID to work you need a particular BT profile, the Se P910i does support the profile, which I think is the "hand free profile"
SE HBH 662
Just got my SE HBH 662. It's small, lightweight, seems comfortable. So far sound quality seems good on both ends.
I'm new to this headset business, so I'm not the best one to offer comparisons. I bought this model based on remarks on this and other forums, and so far my impression is that I have definitely benefited from the collective wisdom of great online communities like this one.
Thanks All.
I tried with Motorola HS850 and Jabra BT 250V.. Dont think they are made for jasjar... I know both of them doesnt have Display, was hoping to good sound quality.... But I was not lucky enough.
SE HBH-300
10 hours talk time, 300 hours standy.
Sound quality on an 02 XDA Exec is okay but not as good as with an SE P910i. The XDA's bluetooth suffers from static background noise.

This is correct.
HTC state that their devices do have a handsfee profile. No idea why they can't pass the caller ID to the headset though.
Jabra BT 800 is OK with me.
*Long battery life.
*Discharging in short time.
*Big display screen.
*Big, but light.
*Easy to use.
*Can make calls from the Head Set for the last 10 Nos. without needing to open the phone.
*Reliable.
I was using sony erricson before buying the Jabra, but Jabra is far better than sony erricson........sony erricson battery dies in a couple of hours standby.
Regards,
I did try my hbh-660 just to see if it would work but shortly after changed over to my preferred bluespoon AX which works fine with the voice dialling etc. no issues there for me

Guys, the phone number is the exact caller ID you're after. It is working as advertised. However, what you want is the _name_ behind the caller ID. Not sure if this is specified in the bluetooth specs, though...
problem with Jabra bt800
Has anybody experienced a crap sound with Jabra?
I can hear pretty well, but the person on the other side complains a "drummy" sound.
I tried deleting the pairing and restoring it, same results.
Any thought?
:shock:
I use the HBH-662, very comfortable, shows the number, has improved the voice quality 10 fold and sounds alot better than using the phone itself, dont use my phone without it anymore regardless of where i am.
This is strange. My SE HBH-662 (BT 1.2) works perfectly with my Jam and shows the caller-id as long as the number exists in the Outlook AB. IT doesn't show the number then, just the name. In the absence of a name, it will show the number only.

Im new to the android system and am having difficulties pairing the Bluetooth of the X10 to my car system (this worked a dream with the X1). I know there are issues with the Bluetooth android 1.6 version but the spec of the phone included A2dp. Any ideas why the car can not pick up the phone were as phones 2-3 yrs older can?
i have bluetooth connection with x10 and carradio. turn on bluetooth, in setting you have turn on the option discovable ... blablabla ... and than search for the radio... and make connection ...
Sent from my X10i using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Cheers for the reply. I managed to sort the issue out. Had to unpair the previous handset from the car. X10 works a dream now ;-)
And in synching your phone to the car all of your contacts get synched as well?
On my BMW BT phone-kit I only get about half of my approx. 600 phone contacts moved over. Anyone know what could be the problem here? The exact same contacts were always 100% glitch-free when synching with my old Rhodium (WM TP2) phone...?
Dialing, answering, speaking to the contacts I actually have in the car works fine, but... there are so many missing!
Cheers/M
In my car the X10 BT stops working after 1 minute according to the issues mentionned here (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3960#makechanges)
It's a pity

I have some contacts missing also.. From names S-Z.. I have no idea why this is .. When i manually dial the number from the car dial the number and name gets recognized. Very strange indeed Must be a limit on how many numbers are available to sync?
now i realize it's android's problem not x10's problem
that's a good thing to know....
cuz my x1 worked fine, and x10 borke my heart while it cant link to my car properly.....
now I'll just wait for the fix
was thinking to return it. lol now it seems now it's not nessecry =D

yea same her with the MW600 headset but at long its a software problem it can be fixt ..hope se will wix it soon (or in september with the 2.x android update where i also wonder if they add dualtouche support or not )
Anyone else noted that Bluetooth seems to crash some times, like yesterday while driving.
In the middle of a conversation, my X10 associated to my Volvo, just stopped the conversation.
When I looked at the phone, bluetooth was off, and it COULD NOT be enabled again!
So, I had to restart the phone to make it work again...
Im running 026 with root, but have seen this problem pre-root too, it has happened 4-5 times within the last 3-4 months.
So what I wonder is this, is there a way to enable debugging or core dumping on the phone ?
The same thing with my Renault. It restart often. But turned 3g off and os better.
Needs urgent upgrade.
I am using 24ba

I have had the same problem with my MW600 headset too, it lost the contact (0.5 metres away) with the phone and could not be reconnected.
This was on a rooted 024.
I had to restart the phone to make it work again.
Must be more than 2 persons having this issue...
I'm having this problem with an unrooted x10i with the 026 firmware using the Wii controller, also had this issue with the 016 firmare.
The 020 firmware seemed o.k though as I played DKCountry for about 30 minutes with no issues.
Omg, the wifi and the bluetooth don't work in the same time....
sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...
I have a similar issue, my 024 rooted reboots everynow and then, but only when connected to my cars bluetooth.
It did it before rooting as well.
Bloke
Anyone know a way to create a desktop shortcut (icon) that executes a terminal command (like dmesg >/sdcard/dmesg.txt ).
Some kind of android script perhaps (does android have scripting capability?) ?
Would be nice to be able to easily save the message log after a bluetooth crash, like the one I had again today, in my car... :|
sorry, double post..
I succeded to do a dmesg when the bluetooth crashed.
These lines might have something to do with the problem:
<3>[54935.146661] msm_datamover_irq_handler id 11, status 20000002
<3>[54935.146734] msm_datamover_irq_handler id 11, error, result 80000008, flush0 c203
<3>[54935.146814] msm_dmov_enqueue_cmd(11), error datamover stalled, status 0
<3>[54935.146928] h4_recv: Unknown HCI packet type 00
I was having this problem with the Wii remote.
on the 020 firmware I had no issues though, with the 026 firmware it crashes about 10 minutes after pairing the wii remote.
I have to restart the phone otherwise it doesn't go to sleep and the battery drains quick and bt just doesn't reconnect.
I think its caused by ADW. I just played Donkey Kong Country for about 30 mins with no issues but using Helix launcher.
I sent the message log from the phone to SE, this their reply:
(Out of luck with my new Volvo, perhaps I should start using my P990i...)
Dear Matti,
Thank you for contacting Sony Ericsson Contact Center.
We've heard about this problem from a few customers and unfortunatly it looks like the handsfree in the car is not fully compatible with Sony Ericsson Xperia X10. Volvo does not list this as a compatible phone on their webpage either: http://www.volvocars.com/uk/sales-services/sales/volvo-accessories/bluetooth/pages/default.aspx.
We have reported the issue but can unfortunatly not say when or if this can be solved by Sony Ericsson.
Best regards,
/Rickard

This blame someone else, I had the same problem with my Audi and Xperia X1/SE P990i too.
There seems to be no use to get nice features/options in the car, because there seems to be no way for the car manufacturers to catch up with the phone manufacturers.
My Audi A4 supported some old SE, Nokia and Siemens (?) phones, that was a 2007 model.
So perhaps its best to just use a headset.
hi, I have a SE MW600 a2dp headset, I've read that android 1.6 does not send the song title to a headset, but what about froyo? Is there any program to enable this function? On windows mobile it worked perfectly...
Same problem. I'm using darkstones froyo 2.2 build. Streaming bluetooth music works, but no title is sent, nor can I even control playback.
Mine won't even connect. It says its paired but when I push connect it just beeps and says "paired but not connected"
I use the corded headset anyway.

i also have the same bluetooth headset and it doesn't shows the title , but my x10 shows the title on the headset , may be it has a program built in on its software that enables this feature as the SE MW600 comes bundled with it in the first place and as you said android 1.6 doesnot support this feature (x10 is 1.6 ) , i will try it with a real htc desire as soon as i meet my friend with one
htc desire with 2.1 doesn't support it from what i've read

If your sources are Sony Ericsson web site they also said hd2 wm not supported also it is supported
Or if they are from real experience then it may benefit the situation

i have MW600 also, song title or time doesn't show on the little screen on any build of froyo 2.2
Let me bump up this old thread...
Is it still not possible on the HD2?
I found this video that shows it works on the SG2
Tried it with different kernels and players for no luck
Got it working with the latest version of Hyperdroid and warrens kernel!
Not sure if its the rom or kernel, but it works
Hi,
I go into bluetooth and search for my devices on my Omnia 7 but it seems to be stuck on Searching when I try and search for my MW600. Anyone experienced anything similar?
So far I have tried it with a couple of different headphones from SE and Plantronics but still no joy...
Jag har precis samma problem som dig med samma headset plus att min hörlursingång verkar glappa
Exactly the same problem, bluetooth worked for about a month but the quality was terrible. As time went by it got harder to pair with the car and now it just sits there searching...
I have the same issue, struggling with a lot of Bluetooth problems at the moment. I also have a MW600!
I can get it to pair with the MW600 if I turn WiFi off. After pairing it seems to work fine with WiFi back on.
With various power cycles, entering and leaving flight mode etc. I can get it to see some devices. Can't get it to pair with my car kit though no matter what I do, and that's the only thing I really want to pair it with.
It seems to be a common issue with Samsung Omnia 7s and Focuses. There is a blog post that google finds where a guy took his phone back and swapped it for another one, which then worked with all the devices his original didn't. One of the commentors then declared that upgrading the firmware to JK1 also sorted the issue. I promptly did this, voiding any chance I had of taking the device back to get a new one. It didn't work, so I'm stuck. The commentor has since come back and said it didn't fix the issue. Thanks for that .
I have an MW600 and I use it with no problems at all. Works perfectly. I have it paired with both my Samsung Omnia 7 and my old Sony Ericsson W610i.
The first pairing took me a while (some pairing codes blah blah), but after that, it's been really smooth. Just switch on bluetooth and the MW600 and they are automatically connected.
Of course, the song name etc does not show up on MW600's display -- I think that's restricted to Sony phone (my old W610i does that perfectly!).
Hope this helps.
I believe based on other peoples experiences there is a Bluetooth hardware problem with early examples of the Omnia 7. You probably have a later one where everything is fixed.
Oh and the reason the MW600's display doesn't show any info is because WP7 only supports version 1.0 of the AVRCP profile, so track info is not transmitted. I've used the MW600 with my old HTC Diamond and Touch Pro2 and got the track info to display. I'm hoping the profile will be updated by Microsoft at some point.

Well, I jsut got a new 16 GB version last week and I have bluetooth problems as well. even after Nodo they still exist. I have a Parrot Minislim kit and my phone will find it and try to connect. I enter the PIN and hit "done" . It then tries to connect but doesnt. AM bringing it to a service centre tomorrow and will see what they do there.

Well, I brought it to the Carphone Warehouse who are the service agents for Samsung and guess what , they cannot send it back for repair because they have no "PLU" in their system for this model citing that they do not offer it in their catalogue. They have told me this 2 weeks after I left in in with them. Now, I have got to get it back from them and send to Samsung myself. Like others here I must have an early model because it is doing the same things, sometimes connecting to my Parrot MiniSlim kit and sometimes not. I bought a 16GB version from Germany because I wanted an unbranded and unlocked version with this amount of memory.
