Does SBH20 support radio like MW600 or Smart Wireless Headset pro? I didn't see any key for radio so can radio app on mobile phone play sound through SBH20?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benjoy Ericsson:
You can only use FM on phone through SBH20 cos it doesn't have display screen so you won't know which band you are hearing.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] changkho1908:
I decided to buy mw600 because it have Fm, screen and quality sound is better than sbh20.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faelz:
The xz have fm radio already so it's not a big point for mw600.

The difference in battery drain from BT 2 to 3 is noticeable?

If yes I'll get the sbh20 if not the mw600. Thanks
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benjoy Ericsson:
I don't have MW600 or SBH20 to test. But, I'm currently using MW1. It last nearly 9h listenning to music before the battery's low. So I think bt 3.0 is better and draining battery between bt 2.0 and 3.0 is noticeable.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomo100brt:
Yes it is a big point. They put radio on MW600 because you can't listen radio on phone through them. I don't know if you can listen radio on phone through SBH20. But i odered them and i will let you know when they arrive.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faelz:
Oh, i see.

The anthena is in the phones...

I found the SBH20 manual:

http://www-support-downloads.sonymobile.com/sbh20/userguide_EN_SBH20_1271-8369.1.pdf

It doesn't say anything about radio...

i'll search more about it :x
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sc00p007:
I have the sbh20, and i cannot use the radio on the phone with them. It says that i must connect the wired headphones as the wire is used as the antenna.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faelz:
I think i must go with the mw600 then =/
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Benjoy Ericsson:
Just wait until SBH-50 is released. Sony will sell SBH50 soon so be patient :) better design, oled display, FM supported.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faelz:
It looks great!

is there any date to Sony release it?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomo100brt:
Because it doesn't support radio. I bought it yesterday and it is only for music. And button Play/Pause/Call doesn't work. I don't know why.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomo100brt:
Now all buttons on SBH-20 works. I don't know how but Play/Pause/Call button works now. SBH-20 has good sound, not the best I have heared. I think they worth 40$ in Croatia. Minus is that they don't have radio. But SBH-50 will come with radio. If you want radio wait for SBH-50.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faelz:
The problem is when it'll be released...

i actualy dont listen that much of music, even less radio. Is just not to open the flap :)

i'll wait another month to SBH-50 anyway. Thanks!
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eryen:
I use my MW600 since Xperia Arc=>Xperia T and at last Xperia Z.

Mostly music on the way about 3 hours per day. Also about 1, 1:30 hour as conversation.

I dont shutdown headset, still i can use MW600 nearly 2days.

Only one think that i miss, vibrating.

When i receive a call, mostly missing that, if i dont plug the headset on my ears in the office.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monsieur_debile:
i ordered SBH20 and will receive it within a couple of days

i will give a little feedback here if you want to know more about it

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryland Johnson:
Hi,

Please understand that what one person likes and enjoys another will not. I purchased the MW600 last month and returned it the same day. I should have done my home work FIRST to save myself and Amazon an awful lot of trouble.

In MY case I found them of absolutely no use at all. As a stand alone MP3-radio they are fine BUT if that is all you are looking for then buy a dedicated one at half the cost. WHY, because the XZ has a radio and MP3 so of what use will the MW600 be? What is more the XZ has better sound production capabilities than this MW600 so why not just plug ones ear phones directly into the phone and bypass this secondary unit?

Secondly. To be of any benefit at all one obviously has to wear ear phones all the time. So what if a phone call comes one still has to reply to it so why not use the phone in the first place? I cant see the point in shelling out 600.00€ for a phone to strangle it with the MW600.

Another major no no for me is having to leave Bluetooth on the phone all the time. Then at home charge the phone AND the MW600? A mobile phone is fine on its own. If I want to listen to music I simply plug in ear phones. If I want to use the phone I simply use the phone.

I cant really think of any practical use for these extension kits? Must be one as they sell? Just not for me. The other odd thing is why blue tooth the phones radio and MP3 when the phone has it installed already? Go direct to the source.

I love gadgets so had to have one but even I could not justify keeping it. I dislike placing those inner ear buds into my ears, cuts out the world and we have ears for a reason. cant use them driving a car, its illegal here so when could or why would I ever need the MW600?

Please remember what I wrote initially that some things are better suited to some people. This type of gadget is simply not for me. You may find it useful.

Regards

I've been using MW600 for more than a year, first on my Xperia S, now on my brand new Xperia Z. I have to say that, for the use I give it, it's perfect for me.

To me it's very useful since I can put my phone in my pocket without having to worry about pulling on the cord, I think that's the whole point of bluetooth headsets.

I'm not particularly fan of in-ear headsets, the usually become painful after a while, but it doesn't happen with this one, once you choose the right size plugs.

The sound quality is good, eventhough I am no sound expert.

The radio is a nice feature to save phone battery life.

I use it daily on my dog walks. I also use it occassionally with my wife's iPhone and my notebook PC.

I all, I feel it's a very practical and inexpensive accessory. This is just my opinion, I'm not trying to convince anyone.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naphets8:
@ Ryland Johnson

Personally, I bought a Bluetooth headset ( Dr-bth200) to avoid open and close the nasty flap. I was scarred to break it and lose the waterproofing...

"I know that my English isn't perfect, but I still hope it's comprehensible." Send over the cool Xperia Z
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faelz:
That is my intention.

I dont listen to that much of music, sometimes not even half hour/day, but when i do, i change the musics a lot. So if everytime i wanna change a song i have to take the phone out of my pocket, it kind suck.

but as Ryland Johnson said, its a personal thing.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monsieur_debile:
from what i ve heard about, SBH 20 is awesome and very pratical as wireless headset

you wont care about those trap anymore

NFC doesnt need much battery life

i am going to receive it next tuesday :victory:
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] japonesque:
NFC only helps you with the jumpstart of connecting to the headset.. the actual connection is still bluetooth.. so it still drain your phone battery...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monsieur_debile:
yes i received it since few days :victory:

my little feedback

where did i buy it?

on ebay, find good sellers who have it in stock, on offical website from sony mobile, black coulour was out of stock too drastically. so i decided to buy on ebay at 49,99 euros which is official price.

How long about shipping

after payment, less than a week, it was fast enough, dont forget i didnt paid any extra for delivery cost so waiting 3/4 business days will worth it :good:

Unboxing

when i opened package, SBH20 box was almost damaged, fortunately nothing was broken

you got earphones, it looks great, shorter than official earphones

good point, i had some difficulties with official earphones, it was too long, i got often mixed up with cables

charger + mini usb to usb

mini usb cable is too tiny, about 10 cm around, i would appreciate longer cable but there is a possibility to use cable from your phone

SBH20 mini device, tiny but design is absolutely perfect, you got volume button and power button on side, usb output with similar flap like on you own phone (its not waterproof lol), basic remote functions on the front of device

How it works

an easy to use, very pratical, lemme explain, i didnt even read start-up guide

enable start button on side of SBH20

activate NFC on your phone

put SBH20 near in NFC logo area of your phone, both devices will be connected as pair

with smart connect, i made event for it, when i connect SBH20, it will automatically open ''Walkman'' (anything you want either)

when i disconnect it, Bluetooth will be disabled (anything you want either)

Conclusion

Pros

beautiful device and very practical for anyone who listen alot musics and who doesnt want connect earphones and headset into their phones.

mainly because of those flaps and their reliability

i know what i am talking about, oxidization's pastille turned into pink instead of white, most likely i was listening music with earphones connected through jack port in the rain

with SBH 20, you will avoid it for good

Cons

price

will drain off your battery life more than normal earphones use

now i barely used it (just testing it) and i cant say how much it will drain it off

i dont know either for its own battery life but i assume over several days of use
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faelz:
Thanks a lot man! And the quality of the sound? was there any "cuts" when playing music?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monsieur_debile:
fairly good, i didnt notice any ''interference noise'' or ''cuts'' either

about receiving call, i didnt try it so i cannot give feedback for
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Faelz:
thanks man!

i think i gonna but sbh20. :)

MW600 for the win! all in one headset! trust me is the best value for money against all.only one problem...you see only the number of the caller...not the name of the contact. that's why i bought the MW1 Sony wireless headset pro

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koshatul:
I had the old HBH20 (from memory, can't remember the model exactly) after buying some of the all-in-one headphones with bluetooth, the cable between the headphones always got damaged since I never had time to put them away properly.

I bought the MW600 as a replacement and it has been legendary, connecting to my phone, my laptop and my tablet (not at the same time, but you can switch easily, it does however connect to two different devices, one in "phone mode", one in "music mode", so if you get a call it will switch from whatever you are using for high-quality audio over to the phone for answering), I've taken pretty good care of it and it's lasted since release (more than a year ago, maybe two) until now, when the clip broke while I was trying to clip it onto something I shouldn't have (the edge of a motorcycle helmet).

I'm looking at the SBH50 as a replacement, since I find the screen useful when selecting music on the MW600, and I use the FM radio often enough that I consider it handy. Without comparing I found the MW600 to be really useful, the screen doesn't show names, only numbers but I use announcify to tell me who is SMSing or Calling, answering on the unit was a little hit-and-miss, I should have read the manual, it seems the pickup button doesn't hang up for me, the biggest problem I've had has been the volume controls, the capacitive touch was really easy to use when I *wanted* to use it, but it would activate on skin touch when in the collar of my shirt now and then.

I'll follow up with my impressions of the SBH50, using BT3.0 should be better for power (if it supports low-power, which not many Android phones have natively yet) but I noticed that a lot of the functionality requires the Smart Connect application to be installed, I'll be curious as to how well it works without it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duo_m:
by luck, i own and use both of these headsets. i use both of them for my sony xperia acro s and sony ericsson xperia x2.

for comparison, the mw600 has a better/longer battery life compared to the sbh20. i just hate the capacitive volume control on the mw600. it's fiddly and inconsistent.

for the sbh20, it's quite convenient for pairing via NFC on my acro s. just tap it and off you go.

both of them have crappy headphones. i use the bass reflex headphones that comes with my x2. even the headphones that comes with my acro s sounds terrible compared to the xperia x2 headphones.

my experience and opinions, guys.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mankvl:
Can anyone confirm how long battery last if i use sbh50 only for fm radio with no device connected, and how is the sound ? good, loud, or extremely loud?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dandgqro:
Sbh20

It depends mate, sbh20 is cheap and very basic bt receiver, I can tell you from experience that the sound in sbh20 is very good, although it doesn't support aptx.

I use it with my xperia z3 and I enjoy the quality.

Another thing I can tell you is that sbh20 can be connected to 3 simultaneous devices, I've used with 2 devices simultaneously and sbh20 handle them very well.

The only con I see is battery... Last for 3-4 hours tops.

But in the relation cost-benefit go for the sbh20 :)

How do I change the password for my Bletooth Headset, there is nothing in the Headset manual about this. Is their an app for the imate that once you have bonded the imate and the headset you can change the headset password??
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] WeatherB:
The passcode of the headset is hardcoded into its firmware; you cannot change it.

By default, it should be 0000

I've run across 1234 as a passcode as well.

Okay so I have a problem . So i had the 2.20 firmware but rooted and unlocked BL but with s-on. Later on i flash roms until i stayed with urdroid jb rom.

After that i was debating on to try the method of getting s-off with a mac. I asked for helped in facepalm's s-off thread but now no one helped me..that sucks

Now i tryed to get s-off by myself with a mac but it went well until the point where adb does not reconnect at all after the "fastboot flash OneX.zip"

after that it just went to hell as where it did not reboot anymore and then i tried to reflash urdroids rom again with boot.img flashed in fastboot.

after that it stayed in bootloader and hung there forever. It does not even go to recovery mode anymore.Once it went to recovery but the sdcard does not mount at all..

Now i tried a ruu and relocked the BL again and i got a friends window pc to use the ruu..Now it works everything until It says checking HBOOT..thats where it freezes and restarts over and over again.

ANY HELP?? PLEASE RESPOND ASAP AS THIS IS A EMERGENCY AS I HAVE A MEETING TOMORROW MORNING>

[AT&T LG Optimus G] N12X93R:
Not sure exactly what to ask to really get a good answer, so I'll just lay a bit of history out and explain my thoughts.

Okie doke. So I have an Optimus G, yes, the E970, but it was apparently a test phone - not for sale on the side of the back casing, all that jazz. At first, this didn't cause any trouble at all, really. I've flashed ROMs and kernels up flawlessly without experiencing problems outside the normal ones that others had. I noticed difficulty in doing this more and more as after I flashed houstonn's RB ROM. I found I could use 4/20 and below versions with no problem.

List of ROMS I can flash successfully and use for indefinite amount of time:

SnowJB

SnowJB's Carbon ROM

CFX ROM

Any RootBox ROM before 4/26

CM 10.1 from OA Dev

Liquid Smooth

So I've been thinking it has to be a kernel issue. But that's also weird, because up until recently, I was able to flash any kernel on all of those ROMs. So I tested it out. If I use those those ROMs without flashing kernels, I'm good to go. I can even flash radios fine. However, I CANNOT flash the houcha kernel on any of those ROMs, or I can't boot (LG splash, then backlit blackness for indefinite amount of time). Same with MysteryEmtotionz -- ROMs will not boot with 5.1.1. Haven't tried any before that. Houcha kernels before the "geeb" updates, like v12 and below, I was able to use.

I have LGNPST'd so many times to wipe my phone of any kind of data I think would interfere. I've used the kernel cleaner script before flashing kernels too to see if it works to no avail. I've formatted my internal AND external in case anything may have been left over and interfering.

I would appreciate any kind of help or direction with this because I'm totally lost. I enjoy all of these ROMs, I really do. However, I like the sound of the features of the kernels, like the amplified sound and awesome variety of governors being added and would LOVE (practically begging) to have this issue solved.

Btw, using TWRP v2.5.0.0 for all of this. Tried CWM when it first occurred and somehow lost my recovery and had to LGNPST, so I've been avoiding it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] nygfan760:
ME's kernel b18c1 or w/e is for stock roms only, and houcha is for AOSP roms only. Have you done JellyBean OTA?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] drock212:
Sounds like you need either OTA to 4.1.2 or LGNPST to it. Or you need to use teenybin to update your partitions. I believe on rootbox page it says that anything after a certain date (I believe it's 4/26) you need to be running off 4.1.2 firmware.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Drock is correct. That's your problem. You need to use lgnpst to flash teeny bin.

Sent via LG E970 with houstonn aokp 4.2.2
[AT&T LG Optimus G] rambo8987:
UUUUKK SUCH UUU1 I UUUU 2U U U2 U S
[AT&T LG Optimus G] N12X93R:
I've always OTA'd to 4.1.2. so I assume my rpm/tz to be updated. Is there any definite way I can check after being OTA updated to 4.1.2?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] nygfan760:
If you've OTA'd then it is updated.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] N12X93R:
It seems that if I format data with TWRP, as in select format data and type yes to proceed, I can flash those ROMs with only slight difficulty and confidently flash other kernels with no problem. Odd issue it seems, but at least there's a fix. Thanks for your help!
