Nokia BH-604 Bluetooth HiFi headphones

Hey all,
I just recently bought these headphones and I have to say that they are nothing short of amazing. The sound is just great and I am just so happy to switch to these from my previous SE DH-970. There is one little nag though... I can't seem to get it to connect for Wireless Stereo without going to BT Settings, select the headset and uncheck Wireless Stereo, press OK, go back and check it and OK again.... anyone else with this problem with this or any other headset? Is there a possible solution?
Best Regards,
Nik

Hmmm, my moto HT820 and sony DR-BT10CX does the same thing. I have to go to bluetooth settings and manually check and uncheck to listen stereo wirelessly.
I thought it would do it automagically since i already paired them to the handset.

same with my S9'S

With my cheapo maplins bt headphones, they auto-pair for the "headset" profile. To start the "stereo" profile you hold down the back button for 5 seconds.
Try holding down some of the buttons on your unit

Thanks, but no holding down buttons seem to work

Sorry, I can't help with your question. But I hope you can answer mine
Can the headphones be charged via a USB port and/or cable? The only pics I've seen seem to indicate a standard circular power port on on of the earpieces near the volume slider. But it looks like there might also be a USB port also? Hoping, but not optimistic...Thanks!

Sorry to say that there is no option to charge via USB...

Ya, that's what I thought. Damn, I can't wait for the day where we advance to a world where we can build our own gadgets to our exact specs
Thanks for answering my Q so quickly!

Inbox headset

Hi! I wonder about the headset (or what's it called) that came with the box.
Was does the button do? I have noticed that when pressed it calls a number (latest perhaps). Is it suppose to do that and why?
Can't you use it as a volumecontroll?
I would really like a headset where you could kontroll the player. (adjust the volume, start/stop/pause, maybe even skip a song.
Nothing like this exists, does it? Would be great.
Then you could have the phone in your pocket and doesn't have to pick it up all the time. A mpe-player you can have hanging around your neck, but this one is kinda heavy.

look at some of the stero bluetooth headsets around. That way you can leave your phone in your pocket and only have the controls for the music player near your head.
no cables to phone
sony and plantronics make them as do other brands.

Thanks, I'll check it out.
But how do the headset that came in box work?

i think its adapter?
that sucks ATT never give good hedaset
i remember i bought a htc touch diamond the GSM one when it wasn't released yet and only released imported.
it came with a nice quality built HTC headphones -_-

How do you mean that it is an adapter?
Really quite amazing that no one seems to know what the headset that came with the box is used for.
Doesn't anybody use it? Can't even find info in the manual.
It seems to open my last call when I tested but what is the use of that?
This is a phone where people have learned every detail down to what hardware it uses, still no one knows how to use the headset????
Sure you can buy an adapter and use another headset but someone must have tried it? Maybe you can program what the button do.

[Q] Head phones with mic

Hey people. Thanks for all info, been reading about the defy here for some time. Got one now and I love it. I had a few smartphones before and this is by far the one I would stick to forever if I had to.
So, my question is: Are there any good head phones (in-ear plugs, with mic and maybe even music controlers) avaliable, and that I can be certain to be compatible with the Defy? Or could I just buy any that works fine with other Android or Motorola devices? Motorola is not sold in Sweden where I live, so it's not like I can check out any stores IRL here...
With my Xperia x20 mini, exacly what I described came along with the phone. Too bad that you just got these normal plugs with the defy. Cos there is just no way I would use those. As of now I stick to my old head phones but I'd love the mic function with my In-ear plugs.
Thanks for any help!

Ok, so I found this site:
thinkmotoroladefy.com/wiredheadsets.html
and it's all looking good, except for the part that they are a bit low-priced. I'm looking for high quality ones. I.e my current head phones was about 90 USD.

For information, iphone handsfree works fine

Thanks!
By chance, does anyone know if "Klipsch Image S4i" would work? they seams to be perfect! Volume, track fwd bwd and play...

I got one of these a few months ago, works fine with my HTC Desire. Not the best headphones in the world, but more than capable of handling a bus ride. You can unplug the headphones, clip on a small plastic hook and use it as an in-ear Bluetooth headset too. Two birds with one stone
I can get around 10 hours out of them between charges.

Thanks, it seams to be mono, right? Mono doesnt sound too thrilling...

If you use power amp you can set it up to use the controls on headphones to start and stop music, instead of calling the last number you called. It will work on the lock screen too.
This was the only way of getting it to work i found for the defy and i tried about 10 different headphones with in-line controls. Bluetooth stereo sets like the one above with controls seem to work fine for music however, ive got a sony bluetooth set and the controls worked right away on the standard media player.

i'm using now my new wesc bongo with handsfree, and they do work great!

Hi everybody I'm new,
Does anyone can confirm this pinout for Defy's jack 3.5mm?
1. Tip - Left audio
2. Ring - Right audio
3. Ring - Ground
4. Sleeve - Mic
or this used in most mobiles:
1. Tip - Left audio
2. Ring - Right audio
3. Ring - Mic
4. Sleeve - Ground

I use Razer Moray+™ they have no remote function so you have to answer the call on the phone. But you have a mic and the work good for musik and phone calls.

anyone got an update for this, still looking for ear buds with a mic.

Klipsch Pro Media set(based on the S4i but a bit better build for traveling etc).
Awesome set up with defy. The S5i rugged set is also great as they are moisture proof and very overbuilt.

Thx,
Yeah, exactly as you wrote.
I remade cheap handset with remote (from eg. www.ebay.com).
It works with any headphones

I used my original headset on a iphone before. So I assume that every headset that works on the iphone should also work on the defy.

I wonder if Sony Ericsson's headsets work. These seem pretty good:
goo.gl/TquJQ
goo.gl/eQc9W
Would be good if they work.
BTW, I tried Samsung Galaxy SL's Stereo In ear handsfree and the sound quality was just awesome! Might get myself one of those!!

I've tried the iPhone standard headphones and sound works but Mic and controls don't. There is a pair of sennheiser mm50 Nokia. Which will work fine. Ordering one shortly.

Hi
I can confirm that at least not all iphone headset work the defy, even if the pinout is identical. I tried the Sennheiser MM70i and they don't work!
I soldered the mic of the standard Headset to the MM70 and now im happy,
but definitely nothing i can recommend
greetings

Calls now route through normal headphones on Gingerbread!

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.

earphones headset issue

I have already tried 2 different headsets with my i9000.They were working fine in the beggining but now the left one works in a VERY low volume.I tried with voodoo but nothing changed.Can someone help me with Service Mode.I think there is the problem and the solution .thanks!

U broke ur head phones, simple as that.

I already said that i have tested another pair and they work fine in listening music etc.When the audio jack is a simple 2way then the music works fine.When i insert a 3way(with mic) audio jack, samsung & 3rd party earphones with mic, one speaker doesnt work even nearly as loud as the other.

Maybe low battery, u may have not noticed low battery.

That's because the 3 way audio jack is meant for apple products, I had this problem before until I realised that you had to hold down the mic button. If you want these to work you can buy adapters on ebay on the cheap.

i have the same problem after installing cm 7.1 - earphones works with any other device, but not with my sgs. holding down mic button doesn't work. I tried to use adaptors added to my urbanears headset (dedicated for nokia / other devices) - still the same issue.

well isnt there any way the Service mode can alter to balance the speakers?I have used voodoo with great results in normal earphones 2way-jack,but on the 3way it becomes a little loud but not as the other speaker!Abput the adaptors i have noticed people who worked for them and people who didnt.What adapter is the most <trustworthy>?

If you are using headset (earphone+mic+remote) for Apple or HTC, get a 3.5mm male to female TRRS adapter.
This will solve your problem.

No i am using the original samsung headset and another headset to check if the samys if faulty!i am fooling around inside service mode but cant find anything.How do i revert any changes back to stock in the Service mode?

anyone get to the bottom of this - driving me mad !
original headset - v low volume - increases when you push mic button
very weird

Original Sammy-made headphones (3 way) work fine on sgs. I had problem like this because I was simply not plugging 'em down and now headphones work normally. Since 3-way female 3.5mm is unified for all devices, you have to try to blow out all dust out of the phone 'cuz audio port isn't covered like usb or this plug in as far as possible.

I am also facing same sort of problem, most of the headphones don't work during call but do work on music
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

I have tried everything - phones are definitely pushed in properly - port is clean , as asrafw says phone volume on headset is fine for music - just rubbish for calls . Asra does your mic key on headset being held increase volume ?
I have found the opposite - do not push them all the way down then they work fine !

Headphones
You have to buy an iPhone-Nokia adapter, or switch the ground and data pins on any other headphone, which is designed iPhone-style.
To verify that the headset is that kind, if you press the middle button, then you should hear the music clearly.
Or buy headphones made for Nokia or Sony (Ericsson) products.
Even Samsung have changed to the new style with Galaxy Tab, so no proof that if it works with newer Samsung products, then it will work with our phones.

Have you tried a neutral stereo adapter. I got one with my UrbanEars headphones and they work well with it attached.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

Yes, the middle button (mic) does improve volume - so what you are saying is that these headsets never worked properly ever !
Do you have a photo of the adapters you 2 are using - just want to make sure I get it right ,
cheers

This is a pic of my cable. I noticed last night that the headphone plug itself is a little different than the neutral stereo plug in that the neutral plug on has two coloured bands whereas the headphone plug has 3. This must be the difference between I pods and earlier androids.

thanks - I presume that is 2.5mm to 3.5mm convertor ?

Hmmm think its a 2-way / 3-way thing rather than a size thing.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

so boths end of jack are 3.5mm ?
