Does the headset button only serves to stop / play or is multifunction like magic?

it depends on your Bluetooth headset
your BT headset must have A2DP capabilities
some models does not have remote control feature
the one that does, they usually have lots of buttons
or you tap the same "answer" button once to pause, and "double tap answer" to skip forward.

Brief BTs Review
+1 vote for Motorola HT820, it is simply the VERY BEST! of them all; in funtionality, ease of use, sound purity, and comfy level.
other ones i've and still using but don't like are:
Jabra BT8010 (good but always breaks the earloop)
Sony HBH-DS980 (too much wire, it defeats the purpose of bluetooth)
Sony DRBT21G (pales in comparison to Moto HT820, but it's passable, not comfy though)
BlueTake BT420Rx (Gen1 bluetooth, no A2DP, limited features, very comfy, good sound, but it looks like princess leia specially if you have the white version)
Plantronics Voyager 855 (pure garbage, no A2DP)
Motorola S9 (dies easily with sweat dripped into the device, bad design, it's a total failure compare to its big brother HT820)
my top 2 choices for sound are:
HT820
BT420Rx
my top choice for formar work/fun mix
BT8010
unfortunately the BT8010 is very prone at breaking the earloop even with careful use, i went through 3 sets of it already.
luckily enough when you buy these they come in pairs with the stereo side, so i always use the stereo side of the earloop to replace the main headset, as i seldomly use the stereo side of the headset, i mostly just use the single side of it.
for real stereo i'll much prefer to use the HT820

Anyway does anyone know is the song you can go forward with the headphones that come with the phone?
TEST
Been looking around for a few good ours for a good remote - headphone piece, will give the moto headphones a try, but i have a question, has anyone tried the nokia n97 headphones Nokia Stereo Headset WH-500 or Nokia Stereo Headset WH-701 (google them, can't post link) . Please post if they work (or not). My guess is that they won't, but it doesn't hurt to try.
Found Nokia Bluetooth BH-504 to. if anyone can confirm it works that would be great.

my 2.5 - 3mm adapter that worked on my blue angel in STEREO gives me MONO output on my wizard (same mp3 file, wmp10, same headphones etc.).
means it's useless as an mp3 player...
anyone got a way of getting stereo output from the wizard?
wrong; channel asymmetry!
ok, after running the output through the stereo, i can hear that there is some left channel output, but that it is on a balance of about 5%Left/95%Right
open to suggestions...!
it has been said that the pin config is non standard due to the mic
readit here somewhere
yes but...
the adapter works in the blue angel, which also has a mic. in fact the (awful) standard headsets shipped in the box are interchangeable.
any other ideas? any good experience with BT headsets, perhaps?
Picked up a Motorola BT 820 last week (CompUSA had them for $79.99; Expansys now has them for $78). It works really well with my SX66 (BlueAngel), still running PPC2003.
It supports A2DP, handsfree, and AVRCP profiles; the SX66 doesn't support AVRCP, unfortunately, so the Moto's media control buttons don't work. As a handsfree phone headset, it works at least as well as the Bluespoon AX2 -- the Moto has none of the speaker/mic crosstalk that cheaper BT headphones (Zonet ZUB8100) have and the mic (built into the right speaker housing) has good pickup and selectivity.
In A2DP mode, there's no static (at least close to the SX66; I haven't done any distance tests yet). Haven't tested switching from A2DP to handsfree (i.e. answering the phone when listening to music), or use with Voice Command -- that'll come later when I get some free time.
The only problem I've seen with the BT 820 is that it sometimes takes 2 or 3 tries to get the SX66 to connect to it, especially in A2DP mode.
have the same headphones with k-jam, the avrcp works as well as a2dp,
also can dial and answer calls handsfree, the music stops and then re-starts after the call.
Ummm...
Am I missing something?
How can A2DP work with the K-Jam if support for A2DP hasn't been released yet?
Confused
I have the O2 XDA mini s varient and understood A2DP was not included?
if you go to this link you will be rewarded
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40458
the version i tried is in french,
but at the end of the post is info abaut a danish & english version
(stuck with french until i get home tonight.)
Thanks for the link and info aliendad.
For us noobs to rom U/Gs, (and assuming that you have an O2 Mini-S), what changes can we expect from this rom to the standard O2 UI, do we have to re-configure GPRS for example.
a2dp is one of the most irritating missing components from WM5 so this will be a great U/G if it works.
Sorry if the question is a bit dumb guys
Kim
i have the imate k-jam, and the cab is available to set up o2 contract settings for you.
only found small list of changes but as i have already said, sorry don't do french.
clock on today screen
a2dp & avrcp

@aliendad
I presume you'll be installing the english version asap so maybe I'll wait for your comments before taking the plunge

will be as soon as i get home from work
have seen some saying they are having upgrade problems?

Exactly the same as this one: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5860021523 but shorter and rewired for the Wizard, thinking of knocking some together and selling them on Ebay, but do not know whether i can be bothered yet. :lol:
Well I got the Hama lead BUT any slight knock and the damn thing starts to come out with the result in a loss of one channel. (just putting my phone in my pocket causes the plug to come loose??)
Now as I've got a pair of Logitech MP3 bluetooth stereo headphones I'll give the ROM update a go to see if the A2DP bluetooth works or not??
A couple of questions though..
Is there a decent set of bluetooth stereo headphones out there, that ALSO have a mic for hands free?? and
I assume updating the ROM will not effect the contents of the extended ROM?? (well it didn't last time)
Cheers
John
i tried the bluetake range, but in the end have the motorola ht820 which are very nice and not as expensive as some of the others.
watch out that some say handsfree but you have to make the call using the pda, (you can answer/hangup from the headset) whereas the ht820 can use voice dial.
the upgrade of the rom will effect the extended rom if you are installing a complete new rom set.
there have been downloads with a selected rom only, and then nothing else is effected.
but full upgrade will lose everything you have.
@aliendad
Did you get to try the A2DP english hack yet?
Kim
Hello,
Sorry for the interuption. Just a quick question. Going through so many post. I still cant find any solution or any good stereo headset build in MIC. The original headset is really annoying and ugly.
Itried to browse all over and look for a compatible headset. But all doesnt look very good.
Any recomendation ?
Many Thanks!
anwering yours and cozzykim's post at the same time,
am now running the english rom with a2dp and it works fine so far,
and for waiho, i have myself the motorola ht820 head set, which after trying others i felt was the best choice.
there are some that are smaller, but either have a detachable mic, or one set could not be used for voice dial! you could hangup/answer from the headset, but had to dail from the pda.
defeats the object for me.
i travel to work on the london underground, and it is great when you are squashed like a sardine in a can to be able to adjust volume, next/previus track just by touching my ear (well almost) :lol:
Hello,
Thanks for the advice. I think the headset that you using is too big for me. Im looking something like
Im still not sure issit compatible with K-jam or is there anyone using it already.
But the website stated is compatible.

Hi guys and girls
could you please write in this thread Headsets which are working OK with Kaiser ?
Sennheiser VMX 100
Hello,
Sennheiser VMX 100 has the problem of static and crackle all the time when used with Kaiser but...
with FSC T830 has an excellent quality.
So I believe that all the problems reported around the Bluetooth headset´s are coming from Kaiser and his horrible bluetooth audio sound (A2DP is excellent !!).
Tks.
Just get yourself a Jabra BT8040. If that doesn't do it for you, look here:

As ericc191 suggestion I swapped the sennheiser vmx 100 with jabra bt8040, and let me tell to You guys that my problems are gone!
Thank You ericc191 for Your suggestion and review of the BT8040, as You said the only problem that I found was about sound volume that could be a little bit louder, but that´s OK.
tks
I haven't had any issues with my Jawbone thus far. I've gone through tons of BT headsets. The Jawbone is top on my list. Then again, I'm on the phone in Airports/Subways etc pretty frequently.
Jabra BT620s
I recently bought this stereo headset via Amazon for about $40, and it's a terrific $40 headset. The sound quality is exceptional for the price point, and it works well with my Tilt.
I have a weekly dial-in meeting with our team in Bangalore, and last night I finally had a chance to try out this headset on that meeting. I've never been able to understand the guys in Bangalore with their heavy accents, even with my land line handset. Well, last night I understood every word clear as a bell. Knowing what I know now, I'd have been willing to pay three times the $40.
Just FYI.
Plantronics 510 works great!
I have used this Plantronics 510 Voyager with a Treo 650, a Moto V3i and now the Tilt.
It pairs seemlessly whenever I switch it and the bluetooth on. The volume is acceptable and I have hearing loss.
It activates Voice Command 1.6 by holding the button for a second.
No one has complained about the voice quality.
Jawbone vs. H12
I have both the Jawbone and the Motorola H12.. I absolutely hate the Jawbone because it is so uncomfortable. Compared tot he H12 the Jawbone has a bit better noise cancellation. Incoming is said to be the same. I find it so as well. But the comfort on the H12 blows the Jawbone away. It is lighter and I can get it on with one hand. The buttons are also eaier to push on the H12.
Jabra
Hello
i use the Jabra Headset because it supports the Handsfree and also the A2DP Bluetooth protocol, i need this because now i can hear the tomtom voice also over the headseat...

Nokia BH-500, perfect..
I use Cellpopint's Flamingo an I can tell that it is the best bluetooth headset I have ever used and believe me I have tried many! It has good sound quality, is more or less unbreakable (you can actually throw it in a concret wall and it is still fine) The battery time is good and one thing that makes it one of the best there is is the earclick system. It fits really nice in your ear whitout cancelling out surrounding sounds and are perfect when you drive and listening to music. They are releasing a couple of stereos in a short time and I will buy one of those.

How do you use the darned thing? Do your ear loops stay on. I tried wearing mine again after a long while and I hadto go looking for the earl oops in the grass.
I truly HATE the jabra bt8010. I will NEVER buy another jabra ever again.
I use the Motorola K 700. It works perfect with loud and clear sound even while Truck driving.

I just like my Jabra BT 8040 verrrrrrrrrrry much....
Sennheiser VMX100 Black = more snap, crackle, & pop than rice krispies with pop rocks together
Plantronics Voyager 510S = some pops, but more "reasonable" than the VMX100...
I'm so pissed I didn't read the NewEgg return policy on the Sennheiser, since I'm stuck with the damn thing now... Return for exchange only on that one kiddies.
Jabra BT620
I am very happy with this since flashing the new ROM. I had volume issues before.

Here, here!
I've tried many BT headsets and this one is my "old reliable." It wins hands down. Excellent voice quality from the callee's point of view (even outside in windy conditions), and I can hear them perfectly (and I keep the volume all the way down). And, just as parkgt mentioned, pairs seemlessly and works great with Voice Command.
All in all, it has to be the best BT headset I've tried...for any phone.
I noticed that when I'm connected to the cars bluetooth I can hear audio from my phone... Sadly the quality is terrible...
Is there anyway to send music to my car while still retaining good music quality?
the aux cable is proving to be a hassle.
Heard about a black berry bluetooth device they ppl on the mbforums use...
that must be your car that is crappy, because i stream BT audio from the phone to the car every time i drive, as it is easier to update my phone with the latest music i want to hear.
quality is perfect, car deck is a CZ509 10" sub, and yes the sound comes out loud and clear on all 6 speakers including the most beloved bass and sub boom bomm boom
if the car got no boom, it is boring to ride.
SGS is my #1 DJ phone, it rulez, yeah baby!
oh! oh! the best thing is, i luv that sweet voice of it, when it tells me the time of the alarm in the car, and if some one calls me, emails me, text me, it reads me all with that sweet lady voice of its
and it will automatically switch between music to hands free phone conversation, and back to audio when the call has ended.
my wife is actually jealous of my SGS as i seem to be spending more time in bed with the phone than with her.

comes with SGS? or you have other application to make that happen?
there are many apps for that, the build in one is vlingo (in samsung apps), and you can install
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8461187&postcount=102
and there are even more apps to customize to talk back to the phone to write your SMS, and or dictate an emails for you like vlingo
the only trick is that most of these apps requires some voice training and customization to use them to its max potential.
try it, it's free
wtf really...
benz usually do slack on the entertainment aspect of their cars...
i mean damn that is weird... i have the phone paired with the car, conversations work fine... but as for audio... hmm
ill check out those programs though... maybe i was doing something wrong... :\
and yes loud clear music is great... nothing less than 192 for sure... the 8' stock harman kardon sub is ok... but i wish i had a 10 or 12 in there.
thanks still.
edit: any external bluetooth receivers that might work through a aux cable jack?
ignore the apps mentioned above, those are only for voice commands, and voice features.
back to the Audio Quality part of the conversation, check to see what features does your in car bluetooth supports, and see if it's BT 2.0 or something else
see if it supports the AVRP features, and A2DP
try different music, some music plays and sound better than others
the phone comes with BT 3.0 and it's compatible with older BT 2.0 and 1.0
you should get good audio quality if all things are paired up properly with the better BT compatibility.
check what other audio features does the car support in regards to mp3, enable those as well
stream play high quality mp3 on the phone to the car at least 160 and up
128 some times have hisses
the source of the mp3 must be pure like from CD, DVD or BD
cheaply recorded or ripped audio from radio, or internet streams sounds horrible in the car
I have a Parrot MKi9000 installed in my 2008 Passat (standard Highline Gala sound system & speakers) and the music streams beautifully over Bluetooth from the SGS. It's not an audiophile's dream, but the convenience beats everything. I'm more than satisfied with the quality.
Bluetooth audio works great in my Mondeo, superb call quality. However, it only works for voice, not music. Shame...
Beginning with Froyo, there is a new method startBluetoothSco (), which can be used to send and received audio to/from a bluetooth SCO headset while the phone is not in call. Of course, it's only for mono low quality sounds (16kHz or 8kHz) but it should allow user interaction via the car kit (reading sms, guidance or voice command, for example).
If your bluetooth car kit allows A2DP, the quality can be better, but you should not have problem to output sounds on the car audio
just found the blackberry device i was talking about
here is the link for anyone who is interested in streaming media to the car over bluetooth.

ok so this is what I need to use insted of connecting SGS over AUX port?
apparently ya...
only thing queer about it is that you have to power it using a usb.
but ya should be as simple as hooking that up to your aux jack... and pairing with your SGS...
im gonna grab one soon ill bump this when i get it.
There are also apps for this in the Market.

I think you are missing the point, the suggestion is well taken for whom ever though of using a mono headset to fake a stereo BT stream
but you do know we are talking about Streaming BT Stereo to a CAR audio system
streaming MONO will defeat the whole purpose of Streaming STEREO to the car audio system
right?
I am using a Jabra Extreme and I feel it doesn't pair very well. Sound quality at both ends is ok.
I am now looking for a replacement and hope you can share your experience of your bluetooth earpiece with the Tab.

I use a Plantronics Explorer 230. Pairs quick, incoming voice quality is ok.
Not too comfortable to use for a long duration & as it doesn't have noise cancellation, very hard to get the voice dialer to work correctly on the road.
using a sony dr-bt50 and a jabra bt3030 both works well
I'm just using the headphones that came with it at the moment, got a couple of bluetooth headsets, o2 and jabra, cant remember what models, they are both hideously ugly though!
I'm going to wait till "the Orb" comes out, looks awesome, http://www.hybratech.com/orb.php ...Oh, am I allowed to post links on here? My apologies if im not

im using the Dell BT-200 wireless headset. works well for me
Jabra BT8020
It has a oled display with adjustable brightness) that show the caller
Phone contact storage facility, so I can have contacts in there and call them without ever take my tab from the pocket
Vibrate
sound: incoming calls good, outgoing calls usually good, but I used Sony and other jabra models and they don't see to be any better
It can be used mono or stereo by plug into it the other earpiece that come with it, and it has a very good sound
the music player can be controlled from the headset (Play, pause/stop and next song only,the display won't show music info).
Connection and disconnection so far not problems and the distance around 10m (just as it says in the tin)
Is a few years old but the battery time is still decent, sadly I don't know any newer device that does all that in such a small package and I bet if someone with the "knowhow" could hack it to use the display for much more.
So for now this thing do what I need, I may replace it in the future either with something more advanced (if I can find it)
or
with a combo of BT headset/Viewpad if eventually it is made to work properly or
with a BT headset/Sony Ericsson BT watch, I used that in the past old WM times and my thanks goes to moneytoo for his fantastic app if someone here does not know him yet, do a search, it is worthy, specially with a device like the Tab
Do I still make sense or I need to drink more beer?
I use Motorola S305 headphones/headset.
I'm using Sony Ericsson MW600, it binds with my Galaxy Tab, Nexus One sometimes even my imac all at the same time and it even has built in radio and it's a stereo bluetooth, it supports 2 or 3 devices at once
So need to carry mutliple headsets
Cheers
I have been using the Jawbone Icon and I find it is really good, especially after you customize it with their website. You can enable A2DP for podcasts and other media and even select custom voices for when the phone rings! I have had a few Jawbone headsets and others but always went back to the Jawbone!

I'd like to buy new headset for my IDEOS. Should I look for any specific features/keywords in headset description or any set with mic will be good replacement for original one?
If you're interested in Bluetooth (a2dp) headset, look no further than Sony MW600. I'm using it for a few months and the sound is superb. Make sure you upgrade to a custom rom with android 2.3.5, as froyo has some bitrate issues over a2dp.
On the back of this suggestion I went ahead and bought the Sony MW600. Found a resonable price on E-bay.
Currently testing it out and must say I am impressed so far.
I'm still on the Stock froyo and not having any bit rate issues.
The only issue I am having is that the headset controls work better with the stock music player and cause all sorts of problems with audio player apps like PowerAmp.
A shame, as I do like PowerAmp but still in the trial period. Will have to try other audio players. I do like a bit of EQ control.
I can verify that the Sony MW600 works really well and the interesting thing while testing was that I could walk about 12 meters away (still line of sight) and pick up the sound just as clear.
I have some MP3 at the around 200kbs and some at the lower approx 130kbs and you do notice a difference in quality. Will track down some higher bit rate MP3's to test when I get a chance.
I believe you can disable headset controls in Poweramp so there is no need to change players.
The wired headsets that came with the phone dont work on my laptop well but are cool with the handset.
I tried optimus one wired headsets which works perfectly on my laptop but failed on this set.
What might be the problem?

there are 2 types of 3.5 mm jacks and our one is not the commom one ( atleast thats what i learned )
i have tried my blackberrrys and my friends samsung and motorola headsets , they r not compatible with x5 - the sound is irritating . but these headphones work very well on pc . while the nokia headphones r compatible with x5 ( using that currently bec in box x5 headphones r qualitatively very cheap ) but they dont work on PCs .
but i think the music headsets like skullcandy , philips etc work on all the 3.5 mm jacks but remember they dont have mic .
i guess it might clear ur doubt . lemme know when u try some bec i am also planning to buy some descent bass headphones .
Beats by dre doesn't work on this phone :/ and the headphones which came with the phone only works on my PCs when they're 2/3 inside the jack..
Yeah the supplied set works on PC while just 2/3 inserted.

That explains it better.
Is there any secret (*#*#bla_bla#*#*) code I can use to get a log of my internet data usage?

Just look for anything that is compatible with the 2011 range of Sony Ericsson mobiles and it should be okay

Philips she6000 work great on my ideos x5
In the ebay you found very headsets compatible with android's. but....
People here are talking about headsets (with microphones), not headphones!
All headphones should work, there's nothing special about their TRS jack.
The problem is the 4 connections on the headsets TRRS jack. Like some people said, it may vary.

Anyone bought a good cabled headset that had good sound quality and had a mic+button to pick calls/skip track?
I'm interested too...
i've read somewhere that all the sony headsets should work.
i will look for the source.
Search for Jabra Chill or other headsets from the same brand. They have mic and button to receive/end call. The pin is 4-pole 3,5mm.
I've found this app on google play store: Headset Button Controller
It emulates multi button headsets, with right button sequence you can change tracks, adjust volume, answer phone calls, start Voice Command... And works on U8800
Bought the Sony MW600 headset some months ago. Excellent choice + biut-in fm radio
Tried a friend's Sony Ericsson MH-610 yesterday and it worked!
Amazon is selling it at £5/€6/$8!!

Does anybody knows the pinout??
