Bluetooth Call quality - Streak 5 General

My Bluetooth has become nearly unusable since installing streakdroid 1.9.
Anyone else having a similar issue?
My BT are all quality plantronics pro, 510 and blueant t1.
Thanks!

I forgot to mention the static... I'm usually asked if I'm frying Bacon or if the windows down.

There is a sweet spot somewhere. I've been fighting poor quality at one or the other end (me or receiving party) with this phone for a while. I just recently upgraded to 190 with the 351 baseband, and things seem to be pretty good. I'm using the plantronics pro as well.
What's your baseband? You might try flashing a few as an experiment to see if there are improvements one over another.

Its working fine over here with my moto s10hd.

before 1.9.0 the plantronics worked very well.
after 1.9.0 became unusable. i use now a LG HBM900 (u can find them at around 30$) and it works perfectly. its good also in nokia stereo bt headphones and with sennheiser 200. Except the nokia the other 2 are dual BT so i use them also with my GD910 watchphone toghether with the streak.

It looks like I'm running a baseband of 340.
I'll give another version a shot. thanks for the ideas.

Best Bluetooth

I know this is more of an opinion question, but..
What is the best blue tooth ear piece or head set to be used with the Titan. Please also post with any particular one that was noticeably bad.
thanks
VERY good results with the Plantronics Voyager 885. Mono and stereo in one. Good streaming and working controls (AVCRP and Handsfree).
Moto H700, Blueant Z9, Plantronics 510 are good. I've tried about 10 and those worked best, many seem to pick up static, others seem to sound very muffled.
For headphones, the Moto S9's work great for me. Amazing sound, better than some expensive wired heaphones I have.
another vote for motorola s9, stereo sound is great, call quality is good (i still cant figure out where the microphone is on this thing but people can hear me just fine)
just wish i could get custom ringtones to play in the earpeice

What ROM are you running. I want to make sure Moto S9 is compatible with 3.16.
I have bee using the Samsung WEP500 and love it.
It replaced my Plantronics 665.

The BlueAnt Z9 rocks. Works perfectly with my Sprint Mogul
I love my Sony DS980 works great except the phone book feature
I hope when Sony WM6 phone hits the market this will be possible
to have the drive and get it working.

Really? I bought it at bestbuy and was told my voice sounded horrible compared to my 510. I figured it just didn't play well with the Mogul
jabra bt8010
I have tried about 10 different ear pieces with my phone. I like the Jabra BT8010 the best. It serves two purposes. It can answer calls and with the extra adaptor piece it serves as bluetooth stereo. when u have it on the music setting you can hear all sounds (ringtones, warnings, voicecommand) thru the earpiece without the adaptor connected. That way you dont have to use that funky dongle to listen to music, etc. only bad thing is it picks up outside noise very easy.
another vote for bt8010
Aliph jawbone baby. Works like charm, never any static. By far the best bluetooth headset out there.

Which BT earpiece for my HTC Pro?

Guys I need to purchase another bt. Been using my Treo bt and it's getting kinda old. Read too many opinions on what works best. Thought about the Jawbone 2 but I hear it is too low. What is working well witih you? Thanks
Plantronics 925 works great for me.
I like the quality of the original jawbone, but for current generation stuff, I like the blue ant. I haven't tried a jawbone2 yet.

jabra bt8010
Tried lots of others, absolutely love it.
if you have a question
post it only once.

Best bluetooth headset for my epic?

I'm looking to get a new bluetooth earpiece and I was wondering what u guys are using.
I want all the goodies and dont care too much about price.
What r the best earpieces out right now?
Thanks!
Sent from my mighty Epic using XDA App.. Sweet!
I like the Blueant T1. It isn't cheap, but compared to other earpieces with similar features it is quite reasonable. The Q2 looks nice too, but is a little too "smart" for my tastes.
I swear I'm not trying to shill for Sammy but their WEP200 is well-made, tough, simple, small and good. And cheap. Only drawback is that you may have a bit of a struggle getting a good fit, but there are separate ear gels that help, like the one variety pack I bought at Best Buy last night made by Jawbone. I've been using this same WEP200 for going on 5 years, and never wanted another.
The Blueant T1 has worked great for me. You can find it on-line for about 49.00 and Best Buy runs them on sale sometimes. It will speak text and play Music.
check out the jawbone icon
I've gotten the Samsung wep 780 and 750 and other older ones bur I lose them
sent from my epic 4g with no 4g
Was originally looking at an earset but glad I found out about and bought a Blueant S4 speakerphone instead since it's mainly for driving. Anxiously waiting for Froyo on Epic so it can support hands-free voice dialing.
If you want comfort and really good quality get a motorola h710 and its not too expensive
Epic 4g
I'd go with either the Icon or the Motorola Finiti. Hopefully once 2.2 rolls around we'll get the same features, but on my Evo my Finiti would read all SMS and was amazing at voice commands and responses.
Blueant Q2. Expensive, but awesome.
Jawbone Icon here. Love it.
I've got a Blueant Q2 coming soon. I had a Z9 and Z9i before that. Anything Blueant is good. Some of the Z9s or Z9is can be had for $20 if you find a sale.

Plantronics Voyager 855 Stereo Bluetooth Headset
or the one I have which is
Samsung HM3500, which is also stereo with included earbuds adapter.
Excellent products. Look them up. Both are A2DP of course. I use the HM3500 with my Vizio TV all the time.
Voyager Pro +
It works great, sounds great, supports A2DP so I can listen to my media through the earpiece (ie, music, youtube, podcasts, etc.) and it's comfortable.
Plantronics Discovery 975 Connects super fast to the epic!!!
It always reconnects when I separate the two devices, unlike others when they separate, the earpiece turns off.
So you have to turn it back on, for it to pair again.
Very light weight, super comfortable,good battery life and the portable charger/pouch comes in handy
And as far as wind it filters it out pretty good. Noticeably better than the jawbone 2

It sounds good but in my opinion you look like a cyborg with the thing on and gets a little uncomfortable when you where sunglasses.
Plantronics Voyager Pro hands down.
Its comfortable and has active noise cancellation. Everyone that I've talked to absolutely loves their's.
Sound quality on the Jawbones is supposed to be good as well, but I don't see how they could be comfortable.
i've used plantronics backbeat for just over a year. i have a gigantic head, wear glasses/sunglasses, and my ears off uneven (yeah, i know, i'm the picture of beauty!) and the headset fits and is comfortable (sometimes i forget i'm wearing it, thus looking like a douche who walks around with his bluetooth on at all times, trying to look important).
the sound is GREAT. i'm a music snob, and i'm pleased with the sound.
the problem:
it worked great on my old blackberries, but has been pure poo-poo on my epic ever since rooting and installing custom roms. it usually pairs, sometimes connects, mostly disconnects randomly, and most of the controls don't work. and when they do work, they work for every possible app (so i can't just start and stop music. nooooo, pressing play on the headset starts music, radio, video, and podcasts.) i'm HOPING that the official 2.2 will fix this, but if it doesn't, i will be officially reclassifying this headset as utter garbage. it would be a pity too- because i REALLY love it when it works.
Im looking at getting the Jawbone Icon or Blueant T1
If anyone has used both please reply.. Ill probably get one or the other tomorrow...
Thanks in advance..

[Q] What headphones do you use?

As using third-party headphones is random with Android mobiles, I decided to create this thread and ask what others use. Please post the type you use with the Huawei U8800 and maybe a short note saying what buttons work and if the mic also works, thank you
Bluetooth headset SonyEricsson MW600, works like a charm. And when no mic is needed, KOSS's SparkPlug.

I only use the U8800 heaphones/mic and I must not change because the pinout is different (begining by the point):
Sound.L/Sound.R/Mic/Ground.
The others like Samsung, Lg, etc. the pinout is:
Sound.L/Sound.R/Ground/Mic.
If we chage it the sound is bad because it return by Mic, not by ground.
I use cheap 1.3$ costed ones.
Jawbone ERA Bluetooth - Works Great. Jawbone app doesn't work on the X5 yet though.
Nokia BH 505 Bluetooth - Does not work well. Connection drops out when listening to music.
Jabra Sport Corded Stereo Headphones - I have just ordered from Ebay to use in gym.
Skullcandy INK'd Earbuds.
And the sound is very good.

I use the Ideos x5 headphones/mic.Anyone know how I can increase microphone power?Because most of ppl who talk they complain that they cant hear me well.
Thanks!!
Jabra bt3030 here with a nice pair of sony earplugs replace jabra ones.Works fine with u8800 as with any phone i used them,very rich sound with music and clear sound with calls.
I have only one thing with them...when a call is ringing, bt3030 has its own ringtone to headphones and not the one that phone has.The think is ,i use it riding my motocycle and if a call comes i wanna listen from my call announcer whos calling me.
Just got myself some Sennheiser IE7's and god.. the difference between my mp3 player and phone is astounding.
The sound in u8800 is just muddy with uneven bass and ****ty highs
Sennheiser PX-100II is excellent for me, but Ideos mic is turn off
Got the Sony MW600 recently on the back of some of the reports here and the Sound quality is much better than I thought it would be all things considered.
Happy with my MW600 but it doesn't work well with the Poweramp app...works much better with the stock music app.

What probs do you get? Play/Pause/Next/previous works ok as well as in call music pause and resume etc. Make sure you are on a gingerbread rom, as the bluetooth stack used in froyo roms is not really good compatibility wise.
If poweramp gives you problems on the BT Buttons, check its settings and disable bt support in other music apps. (i had experienced that problem while using poweramp and XiiaLive, with the latter taking over the bt buttons.)
I'm on the froyo stock....
The problem I was having was that on the BT set when I clicked next track, sure it changed to different track but on a different album. when I inspect the phone on pweramp it's still displaying on the previsous track. The PowerAmp will then freeze after a few seconds then FC.
I will try again using the BT settings for each music app I have as the Stock music app works perfectly...
I have found a possible fix for using third-party headphones, the Sony Ericsson Xperia 2011 range of phones have the same connector and are compatible with our Huawei U8800, so when buying just make sure it works on something like Ark, Play, Neo, Pro and others and it should be okay

I also use these ... work as they should
By now I Just use the huawei (that comes with the cellphone).
And sometimes I use the Headphones of my old GW620, and it's ok (i haven't tried calling with those, but I guess they work, because have the same things).
I'm trying to get some new, but i don't know. xD

Bluetooth Impressions

I wanted to get some community feedback on the Bluetooth drivers for this phone.
I've noticed several times that my jawbone icon will "cut out" for 5 to 10 seconds periodically. Doesn't seem to happen at any consistent interval with no consistent trigger. I've tested the same headset with a nexus s, and a blackberry bold 9300. It works fine with the other 2 phones.
I've also seen my Nexus 4 exhibit the same behavior with my car stereo, a clarion CX 501. It acts like it's buffering a song, no audio, but it definitely isn't my network connection because it's doing it with local content and the song doesn't actually pick up where it left off, it clearly just keeps playing on the phone with no Bluetooth output.
It's probably worth noting that it doesn't actually lose the Bluetooth connection, it just stops transmitting out of nowhere. It still stays paired and connected.
Also mostly unrelated... It doesn't seem to hold a Wi-Fi connection very well when Bluetooth is active.
Anyone else seeing similar behavior?

works quite well for me on Stock. Are you using a custom ROM?
No issues here. CM 10.1 with Franco's kernel. Never had issues stock either. Using through Microsoft Sync in my car.

I'm 100% stock. Wondering if it's related to hardware at all. I figured it was software based on the symptoms but if no one else can reproduce it I might start to pursue an RMA

This device has better Bluetooth than stock gs3 and note 3 drivers. It always skips on Bluetooth while playing music with Samsung devices. While in this device, its flawless!

I currently use a LG-HBS700 bluetooth headphones with the N4 and so far, it's been working great, I've noticed its not so much the bluetooth thats the problem, but certain podcast apps that have trouble responding to the bluetooth controls on my headphones. So far, connection has been really good, I used to get occasional dropped connections with these earphones when connected to my iPhone, but no such issues with the Nexus 4.

That's really interesting. Your experience was the opposite of mine. My nexus s was really great with Bluetooth.
I find it interesting that this was moved to the Q&A section... Just because I asked for impressions and people answered doesn't really mean it's a Q&A thread. Hopefully it'll still get enough traffic here to get accurate impressions.

Stock, but rooted and unlocked. BT at first was not stable. Had to pair and unpair all my devices for it to stick. Only had to do that once and from that point bt have been stable. Using Parrot Neo Minikit speakerphone, also my jabra pro 9470 at work, and using the HTC Stereo clip to stream wirelessly via aux port. No issue now.

Thanks for digging those up! That's awesome. Hopefully there will be something in 4.2.2 that corrects this issue. You really brought some hope to me for this phone. Honestly bluetooth was the biggest complaint I had... I can live with the non SAMOLED screen and mediocre battery life... but the bluetooth has been driving me nuts!
