Bluetooth headset problems!

Hey guys. I have an XDA II and the Motorola Bluetooth headset. I gave up trying to use the headset before the updated XDA II ROM as it was very temperamental to say the least. Now I have updated the ROM its much better but I still have problems. If I am dialling out and put the headset on first then its fine, transfers to the headset etc. If I am wearing the headset and then take a call its fine, transfers to headset etc. But if I am not wearing the headset, say it’s in its case and the arm is closed then I get a call, I open the arm and stick the headset on and answer a call and nothing. Wont transfer to headset and I need to use the phone. Not good when driving! Is this still a XDA II problem? Have I set it up wrong or is the headset not working right? Bascially I need to have the arm open on the headset at all times for it to work like it should (like it did on my T68i) and its very annoying? Any ideas?
This is the headset http://www.motorola.com/mdirect/software/ss_html_docs/bluetooth/bluetooth_headset_info.pdf
Thanks in advance

Have you installed bluetooth tools? Unbond your headset then rebond after installing bluetooth tools.

What the best place to get the bluetooth tools from? Sorry if this has already been asked. And are they free??
Thanks

Yeah I did try bluetooth tools but it did not seem to make any difference maybe its just my headset, it was like one of the first Bluetooth headsets out :? I dunno...
You can get Bluetooth tools from...http://www.angeltowns.com/town/bluetooth/
And it seems to be free

Thanks for that.
However, I could not find the settings button, Just a display on the screen. What are the 1 & 2 buttons for??
:?

Yeah the only changes you see are when adding new devices like headsets etc as far as I know. I thought the same as you, went through all the options looking for it hehe. Those two things on the screen are something to do with selecting different settings for bluetooth to conserve battery like always on or auto off. I am not too sure as I removed it when it did not fix my problem!

Yeah, I removed it too. It caused me all sorts of problems with connecting my bluetooth jabra bt200!

connecting A2DP Bluetooth headset with one button...???

i hate the process to connect with my bluetooth headset
Comm Manager -> Settings ->
Bluetoth Settings -> Devices ->
klick -> set as wireless stereo
gives any app to do this with one klick or one button ???

What headset are you using? I have Logitech wireless stereo headset. I connect it like this:
1. Turn headset on.
2. Press button on the headset once.
3. Headset says "beep" and bluetooth audio is connected

What the button?
I have four on my Sonorix :roll:

Only three on Logitech and two of them are volume controls so it's easy

This also doesn't seem to work on my i-Phono Minis, does anyone have a small app that switches this or knows of the API call needed to get the wireless headset to kick on?
Thanks,
Jon.

It's an A2DP issue. Some headphones connect, others do not.
The HP FA303/Logitech headset is one that works. The Moto HT820 is another but has an annoying high frequency distortion. I believe the Jabra BT620 also works correctly but I haven't personally verified this.

I have to go thru the same process to get a2dp wireless stereo working.
Comm Manager -> Settings ->
Bluetoth Settings -> Devices ->
klick -> set as wireless stereo
I have tried shortcuts using vijays excellent app, but end up getting the wireless headset audio instead of full blown stereo.. there must be a better solution to this..

I´m using the I-Tech Blueband
and i think i had see a BT-stark to connect with one button but i don´t find it..

This issue is very likely one of the reasons why A2DP was never officially released.

i think Buzz have write a little tool to do this but it´s hard to find it on the big forum...

That doesn't make much sense - the reason why they didn't release technology was because it took too many steps to turn on? You wouldn't remove a room from a house just because the contractor put the switch in an inconvient location...

no... the reason it wasn't ever officially released was because of inconsistent device support. Some headphones connect just fine (HP, Logitech, moto) and others don't. Some headsets sound just fine (HP, Logitech) and other's don't (Moto HT820).

Hey guys. I had a moto ht820 (or whatever) and they connected automatically when they were turned on, but crashed frequently when getting calls. Now I have BT620s (jabra) and they work nice However I do have to go and connect them (sux).
So I am posting in hopes that VJ will see this and write a quick connect for the STEREO BT headset like he wrote the other one for Hands Free.
Later; Lew

I'm experience the same problem i have a2dp on my device (mda vario) but everytime i'll have to go to bluetooth, device's, select the headset and set as wireless stereo. isn't there a way to do this automatic?
Becouse it's really bugging me. i have the jabra 620

I have been using for awhile the Moto HS850 and have been able to initiate calls (via voice command), answer calls, etc.
Not too long ago, I went and purchased a H700 (for the noise reduction). For the life of me, I couldn't get the initiate call via VC to work, and it works perfectly with the HS850!
Does anyone have any idea why I would not be able to get the H to work?

Hey guys,
is now a solution out there to connect with one button
the jabra bt620 ??
regards

My Moto works very well and connect automatic...

Hi,
Just a quick question. My Moto HT 820 also works both playing music and working as head set. Unfortunately it's mono .
For the tests I've set the wizard to connect to Moto only as wireless stereo but
it keeps playing mono
Is that my issue or general ?
I run MX6r3
cheers

Bluetooth headphones auto-pair?

Hi folks
I've got my self a pair of HP Bluetooth headphones (very nice btw!) but every time I want to use them, I have to turn on bluetooth, go into bluetooth devices, press and hold the bluetooth headphones and select "set as wireless stereo".
My question is, is there anyway of getting my phone to automatically pair with my bluetooth headphones? Rather than having to go into the bluetooth settings everytime?
Or even put a shortcut on the today page would be easier enough?
Thanks

I was having the same question, but people sais that it is not a good idea to keep your device recoverable from other devices all the time from security point of view. So, i refused from this idea

I found out that if you create a shortcut (.lnk) with notepad and put this in it:
23#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,23,1
You can get right to the bluetooth devices screen. I haven't seen how to pair something automatically though. hopefully one of the bluetooth guru's here can figure that out.

Thanks Jizzay1
Start -> link -> Tap+hold -> connected
Alot better than comms manager -> bluetooth settings -> devices -> tap+hold -> connected
Maybe someone will find a way to press a link and connect straight away, but this way I can live with in the mean time

Obviously different to bluetooth headsets. I use a Nokia HDW-3 and it connects everytime, my bluetooth is not set to discoverable either

I'm not sure why you guys have to re-pair your headsets. I never have. If bluetooth and the headset are on then I can make calls through it.

I'm having this problem with my STEREO BT headset, and it sounds like mixmasterollie is too, but it seems like the people that don't have this problem are using normal mono headsets. Please correct me if i'm wrong.
I'll have a mono headset to test tomorrow to see if my 8125 will pair with it automatically.

As iunderstood for the phone calls my STEREO headset is pairing automatically, but not for music

I just tried my friend's over the ear plantronics 510 mono headset and it pairs automatically once i turned on bluetooth on my phone and on the headset. My 8125 doesn't say anything on the screen once it's been paired, but it works.
Sounds like i just have to live with manually pairing my IOGEAR stereo headset.

Try playing with the "action" button on the headset. On mine, the volume up button has a dot on it. I turn on the BT, turn on the headset, wait a couple seconds and hit the volume up button twice. It automatically goes into wireless stereo when I do that. Boy, was I happy when I discovered that!

No such luck I'm afraid, my HP BT Headphones don't auto-pair, no matter what buttons I press on the headset
I think wireless stereo and hands free act differently, whereas the hands free ones connect automatically but the headphones only option doesn't.
Shame really!

Is there a such thing as Bluetooth auto-discovery?

I want to know if there is a feature in bluetooth so that any time I bring my phone into range of the BT device, that it will automatically reconnect, without me having to push any buttons on the phone, or device. I guess this could depend on the device and/or phone, so if someone replies "yeah, this is how my X device connects to my Y phone", then that will answer my question. Of course, this is a Vibrant forum, and I do have a Vibrant phone, so all the better if someone tells me it works on Vibrants.

I am not sure what initiates the connection, but when I start my car my Bluetooth connects automatically with my vibrant.

I have a jawbone headset That I use, if my Bluetooth is enabled, it automatically pairs with it when in range. However, if my headset is in off mode, then obviously it does not do That.

Hmm... then I guess it is a function of the BT device. I am using the blueant speaker phone, and I would really like it if it just automatically connects to my phone each time I get in the car. Right now I have to press a button on the speakerphone each time I get in the car to reconnect.

I've seen weirdness with bluetooth after I've paired more then one device to the phone. T-Mobile support told me the Vibrant simply doesn't support pairing to more then one device (not just active at a time, but more then one paired at all). That sounded like bunk to me, but it sure is how my phone is acting.
I've got a PLT510 headset as well as a LiquidAux stereo adaper in the car and Plantronics 903 BackBeat Headphones. Since the LiquidAux and the 903 both give Media support and the all three devices provide "phone" support the phone seems to get real confused.
Sometimes bluetooth devices auto pair and just work, but it is not uncommon for me to have to force them into pairing mode again and search for them as if they are new devices.
I am hopeful 2.2 improves the bluetooth support.

Interesting. My Blueant speaker phone is the only device with which I have paired my Vibrant, but I have had to reboot my phone a couple of times to make it connect. I would go in my car, hit the connect button on the speaker phone and the speaker phone would report "No phone found", even though the phone was turned on and less than two feet from the speaker phone. Reboot the phone and press the connect button again and what-do-you-know, it works.
I am also hoping that 2.2 gives me some BT improvements. Voice dialing will be very nice, but I hope they fix all the other BT issues that are affecting me.

I have 2 devices paired with my vibrant. My car kit and some Motorola S9HD headphones.

SLIGHTLY off topic, how do you like those headphone ( S9HD) s, looking for a good stereo set for walking and maybe even jogging

They are great. I read lots of horror stories about the original red and black S9's and sweat, but I know there are an ungodly amount of Chinese knockoffs out there and I chalk it up to that. If you buy them retail I don't think you'd have any issues.

Just got my Vibrant yesterday and I was trying to pair it with my Jawbone 1 headset but it's not being recognized by the phone, I've turned them on and off several times but nothing seems to work.
It was working perfectly on my G1 as of yesterday so I know the headset works.
Any suggestions?

Bluetooth Audio Problem

Hello.
I have just bought a Dell Streak in Dubai. It was android 2.1 and I was able to immediately update it to 2.2. It works beautifully, is fast and does everything I throw at it and more.
Problem:
Bluetooth audio simply does not work. I have tried pairing it with my car kit, a nokia headset, a jabra headset and a generic bluetooth headset. It pairs fine with the headsets and phone calls seem to go to the headset but there is no audio in the headset. The person on the other side also cannot hear anything. And after i press the bluetooth button during the call to bring the call back to the phone, the headset(or car kit) seems "locked" and only gets free when I switch off bluetooth on the streak.
Bluetooth file transfer works fine and I have tested it with a samsung galaxy s. But it doesnt work for phone calls. It is a major problem as it is difficult to use the device without the bluetooth on a regular basis and especially in the car.
I would appreciate any help in this matter as I love the device but as I spend considerable amount of my time driving, it is getting very annoying.
I had originally posted this on the Dell support forum and I was recommended to post it in the XDA forum.
Thanks
Babar Malik

I use my dell streak with my motorola s10 bt headset and my car bt handsfree system and have no issues at all.
Maybe try un-pairing all devices and repairing them and testing then one at a time and see is that helps. Askari when a device is connected go to settings, wireless, bluetooth and see if you can tap and hold on the connected bt item and see if you can adjust its settings.

Thanks for the assist but i tried unpairing and pairing but it did not work. Not too many options in the menus to change so I am pretty much stuck here.
As I have updated to android 2.2 from 2.1 which came with the phone, would a factory reset send the system back to 2.1 and then i can check whether bluetooth works or not? I mean, I cant think of anything else to do.
Is it possible that something i have downloaded or installed on the sd card is causing audio conflict with the bluetooth audio?
Thanks
