Greetings,
I'm using a Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 stereo Bluetooth headset with my TyTN and so far I have only one gripe - when the headset is connected, the ring tone somes through the handset only, not the phone itself, which means that I'll miss any incoming calls if I don't have the earbuds inserted.
Also, the ring tone sometimes does not start until about 20 seconds after the display has started to announce the incoming call.
I tend to have the earbuds hanging from my neck if I'm not listening to music, and the ring tone is not loud enough to be heard that way.
I suspect this may be by design, because it's assumed that a stereo Bluetooth headset is always in/on the ears when connected to the phone, but I want to use the 970 as my only headset even when I'm not about to listen to music.
Is there any way to get a ring tone from both headset and phone?
/POL
?
Anyone figure this one out yet? I have the same problem...
same here, anyone find a solution please post, I think I can change it from the registry I will check it.
Can I ask you folks a question relating to the use of the headset Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 with the HTC Hermes...do you get all the functionality ie caller ID, the ability to accept and reject the call, compatible with mediaplayer etc.
I have a concern that with the headset not being a HTC product, perhaps some of the Sony functionality may not work with the handset.
Thx
From my experience the ringtones will not come to the speaker if you use the headset as wireless stereo. I only use the headset as handsfree, which makes the ringtones go through the phone.
I used the DS970 for two week with my O2 Trion,feature like Caller Display is No any problem,But when using media player sometime it may out of control, like cann't accept call and control volume or stop.
And the sound quality is acceptable,but it will stop few second after 1 or minutes, I have change the regedit.
May I know is there any way to fix it?
Still no solution?
Anyone come up with a solution to this problem? It really bugs me not to get a ringtone from the unit itself, just thru headset... Works just fine with my old mono handsfree, would be great to have it in the stereo heaseat to...
i have the same problem
hello i have the same problem
the ring sound is only on my headset i have tested with 1.13.097fr and now 1.13.234fr if anybody have the ring on the phone with a headset stereo a2dp cang give us is configuration rom and other soft for the bluetooth.
thank and sorry for my english
juste a little frenchy
There seams as if there's no solution in sight, I got the exact same problem, also with HBH-DS970 and with Jetware Mobile's "Hands-free extension" installed.
I'm still running WM5, anyone who have tried WM6?
/Fluff
Same "design feature" here with my HBH-DS970 and HTC S710 WM6 Smartphone, so it's not ROM, device or OS version specific. I would suggest this is by design.
I'm pretty sure this is by design since thats how it works on my BT8010. Its stereo so it seems to make sense all sounds go through headset although it would be nice if it was an option. The BT8010 has a button on the headset to take it out of music mode so then they will go through the phone but I guess that doesn't help any of you out much.
Another option would be to just uncheck wireless stereo in the pairing and just check it back when you want to do wirelss stereo.
Hi all,
I have this and can confirm call qulaity is good but there are a couple of niggles:
- cannot browse phonebook from it.
- voice-dial button works intermittently (not sure why)
- music plays well from WMP but video will not
Anyone know of any fixes to these issues???

I have just found that the stereo audio allows skype calls to be taken on the headset - nice!
Windows BLuetood stakc is rubbish still
I have a DS980 on a hermes and its not good there either.
I tried using the jetware OBEX push application from http://www.jetwaremobile.com/ but I couldn't get it working. You have a go though... its free to trial and there is voicecommand support too.
Microsoft need to sort out their bluetooth stack though. I tried a Nokia with this product and I tried a Sony Ericsson phone and that was good too.... Real shame it takes some enterprising people to sort out what I feel is a bad piece of product. Lets hope we can get a new Stack on the Kaiser that actually works this time and does everything a Bluetooth stack should do e.g: Not cut out when playing audio, allowing names rather than numbers (SAP actually working), track/artist name) proper call handing etc.
I installed jetware, configured it(it said it isn't compatable, etc), soft reseted the device, uninstalled jetware, soft reseted the device again and i got caller id, call list working. Phonebook(and caller id as names) still not work with now playing informations.
Not sure if this will ever work. Sony only
I believe that the BT stack of Sony/Symbian phones is different than the Microsoft BT stack. I don't believe that we'll have all the information (Artist Song,etc) transfered. Not sure if it's a special A2DP, bluetooth profile.
"Use it to view the title of the song playing on your phone, the battery status of your headset or the details of the caller trying to reach you." --Sony Web
The packet structure is the same. The diffrence is in the players, WMP has no built in bluetooth package structure while the players on newer SE phones automatically send the song informations. The phonebook should work, but i don't know why it doesn't. It accesses my pda and tires to grab the informations.
Hmm . Then maybe PocketPlayer ? Bluetooth Profiles
Hmm. So the player needs to send the Song Info over A2DP or AVR
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A2DP
PocketPlayer is good with A2DP. Maybe their or HTC's Audio Manager...
http://www.conduits.com/products/player/
"Bluetooth Remote control and headphones support"
The track informations are transfered via AVRCProfile. I use CorePlayer and it's volume can not be controlled on the unit. It has a volume setting unrelated to PPC. That's really strange because I turn on blank screen, so the screen doesn't wake up on play, pause, stop, etc but it does on volume change. When I try to assign the volume +- keys using the CP's built in key binder it doesn't detect it. Volume, phonebook and track infos, I want 'em!
re
Hey,
When i am listening to music on my headset and receive a call.... as soon as the call ends the music starts playing from the phone not headset??? Any one having this issue or know how to resolve it?
Thanks
Does anyone know how we can get all of the Sony DS980's features to work with our Tilts?
Any ideas?
Anybody?
Thanks,
Dave.
Install the jetware bluetooth extension and it gets a few more functions working but some features such as address book will still not work
Do you have personal experience with this? If so, please list everything that does work for us...
I've been using this for a month or so with the jetware extension installed, it allows you to browse your call history and return calls from there but not the address book.
I think after installing this the only things that don't work are the address book and music track name display.
Just try it out there's a 30 day trial and if it's not for you uninstall it. i don't think all features will work unless we get a new bluetooth stack, maybe windows mobile 6.1 update will do this when it finally comes out.
Does it display the names & numbers of incoming calls?
Do you know how your set-up compares to the Motorola S705 SoundPilot?
it does display the numbers of incoming calls, think the jetware extension needs to be installed for this though, if it's one of your contacts it displays the name like "Home" etc.
I've no experience of Motorola headsets but i would assume they will have the same problem as it seems the Microsoft bluetooth stack is missing the more advanced features so the information is not sent to the headset.
I have one

The music and call quality are very good, compare to others BT I had tried before, HBH-200, Nokia Hs-12W and others Motorola BT. The only cons I have is, there is no clip-so it will be bouncy around your chest, and the charger head is hard to find (I wish they use a universal mini usb head for charger, so we don't need to bring so many charges). Pairing is easy and more stable, compare to my old cingular 8125. ID display for last 10 incoming/outgoing call on BT. You can't get your whole contact on BT display.
A few questions / care to do a review?

Have you tried it?
I want to pair to my laptop & listen to music off of it while I still have the ability to be alerted of incoming calls & to take them as well.
Can it do it?

Have you tried the Jetware extension yet?
How much did you pay for your 980s?
Is that the best deal that you've seen on them?
If not, then where did you see that best price?

Spooki37, even without Jetware extension, I can get caller Id and call history on my DS 980.
Is the microphone on the DS 980 pretty good? It seems to have all the other features I want in a headset.
I bought a Motorola S705 and the microphone on it is horrible, everyone says I can barely be heard or my voice is clipped or runs together and they can't understand me.
Also the motorola will loose bluetooth connection if I get a reminder from PhoneAlarm that I missed a call or have a voicemail. Haven't tried to see if this happens when streaming music and a call comes in.
I just bought this unit. However, after a call comes in when music is playing, the unit disconnects. Is there any way to stop this?
I installed jetware and t seems my problem is fixed
Searched the Blackstone forums but did not find any post/thread regarding this particular problem .....
I'm a new Blackstone owner (and a newbie on this forum). Love the device but one major issue I have is that ringtones dont come through via the BT headset. I have assigned different ringtones to people and based on the tone of an incoming call, I should be able to screen calls without looking at the phone ..... or so I thought.
My phone : Blackstone (ROM 1.14.405.X). Dec/7 hotfix from HTC installed (since ROM is older than 1.19)
My BT : Jabra BT3030 stereo headset (AVRCP works fine)
Can anyone please help ?
Thanks !!
Try assigning a long ringtone as there is a lag and this may be cutting off the ringtone
Thanks winwiz. Tried that without luck. I only get the default beep-beep in the BT headset warning me of the incoming call ......
Bump !!
Can anyone of you folks help me with this ?
I tried a few tricks - set a looooong ringtone (2 minute song) ...... selected a single ringtone for all contacts ...... but no luck, still get only beep-beep via the BT stereo headset for incoming calls, while the phone itself plays the correct ringtone.
Funny thing though - music comes through fine on the BT (A2DP works fine) and I'm also able to control music without issues (AVRCP also works fine).
Any help/suggestions are welcome !!
Cheers !!

I'm a little out of touch with the very latest gear - BUT - would the headset output the ringtone?? Surely it just has it's own ringtone that is the only one it can play, whenever a call comes in?
It seems to me that to send the .mp3 file over bluetooth to a device that doesn't seem big enough to have a full codec supply would tax the Bluetooth bandwidth somewhat!

A2DP is used for stereo music, not for talking. Maybe its just not possible (with your headset). But I'm quite unexperienced with bluetooth headsets .

Hello Riceburner .... today's Bluetooth headsets do indeed play your phone ringtone. But it should have A2DP feature that allows music to stream in and your phone should also have A2DP to "send" the music to your headset.
The .mp3 file does not get sent to the bluetooth .... the mp3 plays on your phone as a ringtone when you get a call and the A2DP feature then streams it to your BT headset where you then hear the ringtone.
This can have a lag of even a few seconds, hence the suggestion from winwiz a few posts back to use a long playing ringtone.
johnpatcher - A2DP is indeed not for talking, but it is necessary for the ringtone to play in your headset until you answer the call at which time the traditional bluetooth kicks in to handle voice.
Cheers !!
Can anyone help ?
Here is a consolidation of the issue and my attempts to overcome :
My phone : Blackstone (ROM 1.14.405.X). ROM date Oct/24/2008
Any hotfixes : Yes - since ROM is older than 1.19, applied the Dec/7/2008 hotfix from HTC that addresses screen freeze during multi clicks.
My Bluetooth headset : Jabra BT3030 stereo headset (A2DP and AVRCP works fine with the Touch HD phone)
Problem : Phone ringtone does not play through the BT headset. I get only a "beep-beep" on the BT headset for incoming calls, while the phone itself plays the correct ringtone.
Tried the following :
1) set a long ringtone (2 minute long song) as suggested by winwiz. No luck
2) Selected a single ringtone for all contacts. Still no luck
3) Paired the exact same BT headset with another phone (symbian OS) and it works perfectly - A2DP, AVRCP as well as phone ringtone comes through via the headset. Frustrated !!!
Any help/suggestions are welcome !!
Could this be a WinMo issue as opposed to a Blackstone bug ? Found the following thread ........
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310438
One way to find out ...... can folks spare a few minutes to post their experience in using A2DP heasets with the Blackstone - were you successfully able to hear ringtones via your headset ?
Cheers !!
*Bump*
Can folks oblige by posting their experience using A2DP headsets with the Blackstone ? Were you able to hear ringtones via your headset ?
Thanks !!
thread digger
sorry bringing this up again
but got EXACTLY the same problem here
tryied the suggestions too, without success
any tips?

I have a BT headset too that can A2DP. (SE DS-980) I don't think its meant for it to transfer ringtones as what one poster mentioned. Anyway, whenever my phone rings, I can hear the tone from my phone and a common single tone from the headset then the contact info is displayed in the LCD so I know who's calling. Another option is if you have MSVC, you can set it to alert you who is calling and only through the BT headset when it connected. That way you'd know who's calling you.

thanks kieboy
guess i'll install MSVC
I use my A2DP headset to listen to music on my embedded helmet speakers while in my bike. And of course, to answer calls too. So, looking to the phones screen isn´t a option and the custom ring tones would be VERY usefull
but, if there's no other work around...

The contacts on this phone don't sync with my vehicle. On previous phones, even recent previous Android phones (G2 and Vibrant), the contacts would sync on my phone, and I could select the contact from the screen in the car, or use the car's voice dialing, and it would call the person using the phone.
Handfree audio works, as I can use the phone to initiate or receive a call, and it comes through the car's speakers, but the contact sync is not working. I have a BMW, and a quick Google search shows that many others have this issue as well.
Anyone have an idea of a solution? Some talked about HTC not loading all of the Bluetooth features on this phone.
