I would like a decent bluetooth stereo headset that I can listen to music with and make and recieve calls on with this device. I've already tried the Motorla S10's and jaybird freedoms.

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Motorol...38355&skuId=1326039&st=motorola s10&cp=1&lp=1

http://www.bestbuy.com/site/JayBird...8316933151&skuId=2264036&st=jaybird&cp=1&lp=4

Moto has a decent mic, but poor audio and bad signal range. However call's were serviceable.

The jaybirds have sensational audio clarity and quality (better on the iPhone though. Just sounds cleaner. dunno why?) and the bass is rich and crisp. Some of the best bud audio I've heard well...ever. Even rivals my klipsch S4i's :-p *Only works on apple :-(*

Now for the bad. Calls are the worst I've ever expirenced! audio is muddy, the other end always complains I sound distant and traped in a far away restroom, audio cuts in and out and the volume in call is too low. Just horrid experience altogether that mares the device of its exceptional BT headphone feature.

And I would like ideally a headset with good range ~12-20ft from device. a decent battery cycle *8-12Hrs.* and has a good noise canceling mic and good audio quality for music and calls.

Does such a device exist? My budget is $80-150

Thanks in advanced.

Jaybirds has been fantastic for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
I just think the sound quality and the mic suck for phone calls. :-/ which is disappointing. but the sound quality for music and such is nearly on par with my beats studios, although not as clear or loud. and they almost replicate the same timber/clarity of the klipsch S4i's they replaced. (best buds I've ever owned/used/seen) though there's a little distortion at higher volume levels. and I don't feel like they get as loud as I'd like.

i'm using my Sony Ericsson HBH-DS980 from 2007, great headset, no problems at all, even battery ok after 4 years of use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] roadrash7:
Sony Ericsson Bluetooth devices are awesome. I have been using the hbh ds205 for years this is my second one my wife put the first one through the wash it still worked but the battery didn't hold a charge after that.

Anyways the great thing about it is you can use it for anything and use any headphones you want with it. I use my sennheiser ie7's.

It has all the controls...play pause volume up down skip track answer calls. Battery last like 8-10 hours of continuous playback.

I clip it on my shirt and work all day long with it. Clip it on my jacket and listen to tunes while I'm riding my motorcycle. Get in my car plug it in to the auxiliary cable, samething at home. Just got a portable speaker for cell phones so I can plug it into that and listen wirelessly. That's why its so great it makes everything wireless.

I don't think they make this model anymore but there is new versions. I'm gonna upgrade sometime because this little device is so awesome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
Thanks for the feedback. funny thing is my jay birds worked flawlessly today, no distortion and no call issues... only thing I did different was calibrate my battery on the phone and flash the updated matted blues theme for serendipity.... strange.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] naturefreak85:
In terms of Voice Call Quality, the Plantronics 903+ are top notch. I also have the Jaybird Freedoms (best sound quality IMHO) as well as the Sony Ericsson MW600 which I like for the ability to plug in any Headphones I wish. I haven't heard many issues with the MW600 for the audio quality though.

I was told that the Jaybirds has a bit of a tinny sound when I talk on the phone though, bit of a downside (granted after my workout at the gym, I can't seem to find them, not too happy about that.) The Jaybirds battery life will not be the best in any way shape or form, you do pull off about 5 hours, which isn't bad, but nothing like the MW600 which get up to 11 hours.

The MW600 is not the best for working out in my opinion, no sealed ports and not water resistant/sweat resistant. The Plantronics 903+ isn't sweat resistant either contrary to what you read online, but it is durable. I have shorted out 6 pairs with the amount of sweat I have when working out. I even have shorted out a Motorola S9 which is supposed to be sweat resistant as well. Just my $0.02 take them as you wish.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Mr_Armageddon:
I have had the same experience with the JayBirds as the OP. Good bluetooth speakers... horrible call quality. People couldn't understand me, complaining that I was muffled. I took them back after 2 days.

I am also looking for a good set of stereo bluetooth headphones, to use both in the car and the gym, and will be following this thread closely.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] naturefreak85:
Anytime. I have been playing more with the MW600. In the end, there is no "perfect" bluetooth headphones for everything. When I'm at work I use my MW600, and when I am biking/working out I use my Jaybirds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Skv012a:
If you can still find them, Homer HHS1220 I believe was the BEST bang for the buck a few years ago. Legitimate 12 hour battery and pretty comfy to wear.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] azmexmike:
I bought the Phiaton PS 20 BT stereo headset ($125 at Newegg) about a month ago. The sound quality is great, on both music and calls. Distance, to me, is impressive. Built-in battery charges via USB, and battery life has been good for me.

The microphone is the only thing that's a bit finicky. Some people tell me that it sounds like I'm on a wired headset. Others tell me it sounds like I'm in a tunnel. The problem boils down to what shirt I'm wearing! If I have button-down shirt or a breast pocket, then it's easy to dial the mic in for great sound. But if I'm wearing a t-shirt ... forget it.

So I've done the whole search thing, and XDA now offers a cool display of related threads when I start a new one...but I haven't found something related to Cyanogen Mod 7.1 for our variant of the GSII.

I hesitate to flash cyanogen because 1. it's not stable anymore (according to their forums), and 2. our model of the GSII is arguably not like any of the other GSII's because we have a different chipset.

Had anyone tried to flash cyanogen mod onto this phone or does someone know that it works?

Thanks in advanced!

10-22-2011 EDIT: So people don't need to sort through the clutter, the answer is no there isn't CM7.1 for the T-Mobile variant of the GSII and no one should attempt to flash the one from cyanogenmod's website for the GSII.

Thanks for answering my questions!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] aim1126:
Cyanogen mod roms are built specifically for each device. Don't ever try to flash a build from another device. Even the ATT and International galaxy s2 have differently builds even though they're pretty much the same phone

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nodrogkam:
My statement was in reference to the GSII only. Users reported too many bugs...but again that's not for our GSII.

If you check their forum there is no more "stable mod" link to 7.1 for the GSII.

The mytouch4g should be fine.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nodrogkam:
I apologize to you if my question was naive. At least I didn't go posting in the developer forums.

The development seemed active enough for this device that I was considering there was a chance of availability. I'm also not rushing or demanding anything from the developers/developer community. I also give thanks and donate to them.

Other's have graciously answered my question, and to them I say THANKS.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heynicebits:
I had android with a droidX about a year back and original loved the platform, but I switched out for an Iphone 4 for the apps. Now that most of the apps I use everyday are ported over to android, i think i might pick up a thunderbolt on the cheap to try out android again. If i like it, i'll pick up a galaxy nexus when my contract runs up , if not , i'll bank my upgrade and wait for the iphone 5.

What would you do. Do you think android has changed in the pass year and is worth making a trip back for? I really like the way iphone can handle ms exchange. I remember having such a hassle with touchdown last time around.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orkillakilla:
I think android has come a very long way in the past year, and will only get better. Even f you don't like the thunderbolt, you'd love he galaxy nexus. From the videos I've seen of it... There are no words to describe it lol. Besides, most any app you could want that the iPhone has, android probably has it, or maybe even something better these days.

Accidental repost
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxigenboy:
bringing up the thunderbolt and iphone is like comparing 2 different sports teams and you know how loyal & crazy fans can get.

seriously though, both are solid OS' and offer their own way of functioning. Before I had an android phone I was on windows mobile up till I got my HD2. I had ipod touches on the side and thought they were cool, but it wasn't until I got my first android(a mytouch slide) rhat I decided that I'm sticking with android and that's that. it was kind of weird adjusting to it at first but once you realize the potential & support of the android system/community how can you go with anything else? I wouldn't mind having an ipod touch again for music purposes, but I can't see myself getting an iphone.

that and iphone is still 3G & supposedly apple doesn't like where 4G is right now and says they probably wont incorporate 4G into the iphone 5 either.

p.s. siri isn't all that great either.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharliesTheMan:
I have an iPhone 4 in one pocket and Thunderbolt in the other pocket. I do that so I can keep my personal phone and work stuff seperate. Is be glad to answer the specific questions you have. I like both of them, they each have their strong points. The iPhone 4 and iOS runs quite smooth, hardly ever does anything similar to a force close and doesn't ever freeze up, stuff like that. But with Android you have control over every feature and its settings. Phone customization options are endless. I would say that if you like to tinker and be able to dig around and do anything you want to your phone, Android fits that need perfect. If you want a smooth, great running OS without ever tweaking a thing, and reliability, stick with the iPhone.

Hardware wise, screen size is a big deal to some people. Some like the real estate, but then again others don't like how big it is to carry/hold. The iphone has better fit and finish I think, small things like button feel after a few months of use are much better on the iPhone. But they have the advantage of only having one model to focus on for things like this. Android makers have so many different options available so they don't get to spend as much time/resources on a single phone.

Also, the ability to flash roms and make so many UI tweaks on Android allows you to turn your phone into something completely different any time you want.

Last week I was bored and wanted to mix things up, so i switched over from sense 3.0 to sense 3.5. I'm someone who likes to tinker. I drag race, build hot rods and show trucks, and like to fix broken stuff. The ability to change up the interface totally is a wonderful option, and personally a big "pro" for me.

Let me know what else I can answer for you.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zero26800:
Like what was already said before. The galaxy nexus is an amazing device. Android as an OS is an absolute powerhouse. Iphones are always going to be behind the curve from this point on.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andydumi:
I guess its also important for you to tell us what apps do you use most often on iOS and we can offer examples of what's available on Android, if anything to equivalate them. Since that seems to have been the main reason you originally switched.

From what I understand, if games are your primary goal, the iOS still has a good advantage, but the screen is significantly smaller. For just about everything else, it seems Android either is on par or exceeds iOS alternatives.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thepolishguy:
Buying the Thunderbolt to see if you would like the Galaxy Nexus would be like buying a 2012 Chevy Aveo...

to see if you wanted to buy the Corvette.

And yes - I imagine that going from teh Thunderbolt to the Nexus will be comparable from going from the Aveo to the Corvette.

I mean they are both running Chevy - but one is going to be a complete different experience than the other.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voxigenboy:
that's a stylin' Aveo. you got me sold sir! that'd be some fun donut'ing in the dirt.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamez007Bond:
HAHA I would get the Aveo just to run the wheels off of it like it were a go-cart. That reminds me of when I was young and had a Chevette... I wore the emergency brake out on that little car. haha

---------- Post added at 12:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:26 AM ----------

CharliesTheMan is correct in his observation.

My wife has the iPhone 4S and I have a Thunderbolt and Droid Charge. The 4S is perfect for what my wife wants. It doesn't have a lot to be confusing and it just works without problem. The phone doesn't get in the way of doing what you want to do; it is just smooth and quickly works without any hesitation.

The Thunderbolt and Charge on the other-hand are customized and overclocked how I like it. I am a 'tinkerer' too. I've got my TB running Synergy ROM with the Sense 3.5 and it is simply awesome. Sure, I have an occasional hickup with an app or ROM sometimes but I have the knowledge to fix the problem and go on; not everyone wants a phone like that, including my wife.

So, the choice really isn't to get an iPhone 4S or an Android phone but the choice is what type of user are you? Do you like to have options or simplicity? But then again, I guess you can Jailbreak the iPhone for a change. LOL
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrfitchett4:
My wife wanted a white iphone 4 when we switched to verizon. She had it for 2 days before we exchanged it for a thunderbolt.

Internet browsing was faster on the thunderbolt in full site comparisons. My wife also didn't like dealing with itunes for all music and videos.

Find one for cheap and play around. Only problem is if you go back and forth from the iphone to the Bolt, you will probably have to get a new sim everytime you switch to the Bolt.

Some gameloft games have phone specific files although they are identical. This could be due to the differences in the CPU, gpu and drivers of Android phones. Cheers.

For me, it started about a week ago. Ive noticed that while sending text messages, if im sending 1 right after another, they will not send right away. I have then tried to make a call, get this message, reboot, and everything is fine.

Has anyone tried using setDNS to fix this. I think the Revo has networking issues, which were probably fixed in v6 radio updates.
[LG Revolution] rd5150:
so if its not sending, is it not receiving also?
[LG Revolution] jamRwoo:
Does DNS have anything to do with how text messages are sent/routed?

Regardless, now that you mention it, I used to have this problem but it seems to have gone away, and I am using DNS Changer to set my naneservers to OpenDNS.

EDIT: OpenDNS Nameservers:

Primary: 208.67.222.222

Alternate: 208.67.220.220

Definitely try this and let us know. If we can determine this is the issue we'll be helping a lot of Revo owners. I use the app DNS Changer, SetDNS has a bug that makes it request too many Superuser permissions, unless they've released an update to fix that.
