Hello.
I have a pair of Klipsch S4i with volume+play/pause control. How do I get this to work uniformly in the Nexus one? I'm using Mortplayer to listen to Audiobook, and native Music or MixZing to listen to music. Right now, the buttons do nothing for these apps.
Please help. Thank you.
I would also like to know this as well. I am considering picking up the Klipsch S4 but if the buttons work on the N1, I'll pick up the S4i.
Thanks
Would be great if Tune WiKi or a similar music app could use the volume up\down press from the in-line 3GS remote to change the volume.
Cheers,
M
Recently purchased the SE MW600 stereo bluetooth headset. Was pleasantly surprised to discover that track name shows up on the headset, when paired with the HD2.
Display of track info is a SE implementation and is supposed to work only with SE phones. So not sure why it is working with the HD2.
Note that I also paired the headset with my Nexus One, Archos 5IT and Motorola Milestone. However, with these pairings, track name did not work.
So i suppose it is unique to WM/ HD2 bluetooth stack...
That's a good thing to hear.
I have been searching for a nice stereo bluetooth headsets for my lovely HD2 as well.
Does the Sony MW600 has swap between talk and music function?
Damnit!
I have an HBH-DS980 bluetooth stereo headset with OLED display, and it worked fine with a K850i. When I moved to the X1, I figured SE would include support for it in their BT stack - no such luck. Eventually I got the guy who writes SmartWatchM to include support, but its very basic - to show track titles, you lose the ability to take calls on it.
Major bummer! I guess yours uses a different, standard BT profile for track info display that the HD2 also supports?

you can do voice dialing using the mw600. and yes, when a call comes in, it automatically switches over from music to call. of course, it also automatically switches over when you dial out from your phone.
also, you can pair it with THREE devices instead of the two that most multipoint bluetooth headsets allow you to.
before this, i have used se ds220, ds980, jabra 3030 and sennheiser mm200. my current mw600 is the most feature-rich headset in a tiny package. the music quality is not as great as the senn bluetooth headest, but you can always swap in your headphone. i would say the quality is good enough for regular commute.

i have fond memories of the ds980. in fact, the only thing i miss about it is the access to phonebook and dialing out right from the headset - the mw600 has all the other features except that.
i have not tinkered with the BT settings. it just worked 'out of the box'. please note that my HD2 is on OzROM 2.10 ROM. have gone through the changelogs, but do not see any info on the BT stack being tinkered with.
So i assume track info will also get displayed on a stock HD2 ROM as well. and maybe other WM devices?
I can confirm that mw600 shows song titles with stock rom, using it everyday! Perfect for watching youtube-videos and so on.
How about radio? Are the devices smart enough to know that one (phone) is looking for an antenna, and the other (headset) can act as one, to use the HD2 radio app?

tried it. nope, did not work. i don't think you can get around the limitation of having a cable plugged into the headphone jack for fm to work - the cable acts as an antenna. can fm work without it? i don't know.
however, with the mw600 this point is moot. the headset has onboard FM and the quality, at least where i live, was crystal clear. so the hd2's fm app becomes redundant.
Does it show incoming callers name as well?
Does SE MW600 change songs from dongle ? can i change song from dongle?

Yes, all regular avrcp controls are available. you can skip to next/ previous tracks, pause, play...
about incoming caller names, i only see the number displayed when a call comes in.
Does it show track titeles only from htc music player or is it possible to force it to show tracks from S2P or different player? I have this headset and it only shows tracks from htc player...

Dosen't show names of tracks from S2P for me either.
Great headset though!!!
i am having problems... so far it wont play music through the blue tooth headset, it will only play thorugh its speakers... I got it to work once after i reset the phone but shortly after (say if i turn the mw600 off and on), it will once again stop working... Handsfree calling is fine though.
any ideas?

Have you enabled A2DP on your device?
[Comm Manager]>Tap on "Bluetooth" (Name, not the switch)>[Advanced]>Tap on the MW600 you have paired>[Edit]>check [Wireless Stereo] and Save.
So does the MW600 show the audio track titles in HD2 android?
i didn't notice this. but i'm using pocket player, not windows or htc or s2p.
what i notice is, when in radio mode, my bluetooth can show caller name, but when in streaming mode it only show number.
i hate the slide volume control. never work when i use my finger, but will activate if it touch my shirt. kind of stupid, you have to look at it to use it. also the clip is not "coarse" and strong enough, easy to slip out. lucky, the earphone connection prevent it from dropping.
Pairing MW600 with PC
Has anyone tried pairing MW600 with PC?

No, the MW600 does not display track names when using Android, however, the hardware volume keys on the HD2 will adjust the volume of the headset - this does not happen under WinMo unfortunately. This is useful if you plug the MW600 into an amplifier and stream music to your hi-fi because then you can control everything : )
Another plus of using the MW600 with Android on the HD2 is that if you use DSP manager it will allow you to control bass and treble etc - again, the Audio Booster under WinMo does not affect the headset (even with the hack that allows it to run without a plug in the headphone jack).
The biggest problems with the MW600 for me are the awkward touch sensitive volume control, and the fact that it cuts the beginning off of each track (only a second or so, but if you're listening to music that kicks in on the first beat it gets really annoying).

Yes, using windows 7 64bit and a Nexxus Blue Micro Pro dongle (v2.0 + EDR). With windows drivers it sounds awful. The high frequencies are bleurgh....
With a trial of the Toshiba stack and also Blue Soleil Software, it sounded very good indeed....
Make sure you get a dongle with good software/driver support and it'll sound great : )
The MW600 will show you what type of device you are paired with using an appropriate symbol. Like devices (e.g phones) get numbered one to three.
One word of warning, when you pair a new device, by default both the stereo audio and the handsfree audio (for calls) are routed to that device. This leads to some consternation if you, say, pair your girlfriends phone to it then wonder why your own phone no longer has call functionality but the music is working just fine. Oops. Duh, RTFM ; ) Press and hold the call button on the MW600 to choose which of your paired devices has call functionality. Press and hold the Play/Pause button to choose which has stereo audio functionality. It may help to shout expletives at it when you find you can't select the device you want using the 'insensitive one minute, overly sensitive the next' volume slider ; )
Has anyone else tried this? I'm not sure if this is the consequence of Voodoo7 with Fugu mod, or if it is contained in the stock kernel. My Sennheiser headphones route calls through the headphone now with no issues.
EDIT: Oh yeah, headphone to speaker switching works just fine as well
what a good news ! A very good reason to switch to gingerbread !
If they could also add support for different controls on the headphones (play, pause, next song, volume up, down). I would like to use my remote controls adapter I got with nokia 5800xm because with it I can connect my sennheiser headphones that don't have play/pause buton built in.
Also since ginger likes having led lights on. They could program them to light the right one when we have a missed call (looks like a missed call arrow) and the left one when we have a missed message (looks like some txt). That would make ginger perfect
Both things are simple and can be solved through software! I hope Google/Samsung or some coder is listening
Well, I know voodoo 7 on froyo lets you receive calls on headphones with no issues..
It's been included in the stock firmware since gingerbread

My Siemens Bluetooth headset does all the above wirelessly. Media controls, play, volume. skip etc. and call controls. Also can be paired to multiple devices. Cost me £7.50 on eBay I bought two so I could use one with the line in on the car using a double male lead rather than have a connecting lead.
Any chance for a link to that Siemens bluetooth headset?

AFAIK speedmod includes the HPCall patch that does this in froyo. Voodoo 7 in darky or voodoo kernels didn't get this working for me, contrary to the above post.
Froyo 2.2.1 (XWJS3) does this as well.
With headphones, calls go thorugh headphones.
With speakers (high impedance), music goes through the speakers, but calls come on the phone.
Don't remember what the 'speaker' button does in the last case; I think it sends to the connected speakers and not the internal speaker, but I am not so sure.

A link for the headset would be nice...
Has anyone tried using the buttons on your headsets to control the music player? I wanted to do something as basic and use the button for play/pause and if i held it down I could access google now.
I tried using Headset Droid but it wouldn't recognize any of the headset commands. Anyone having this problem?
If you are referring to a wired headset, it seems that the N7 is crippled in this regard. From a disclaimer in the description for the Philips Headset app on Play: "Nexus 7 has disabled the headset control pin in its 3.5 mm audio connector which causes the Headset app fail to function."
