I have not got that working

More to the point, I can not find any settings on my universal or BT800 for remote sim or remote contact access which is needed to access the address book.

I would love to leave my universal in my bag and make a call from the headset accessing my address book.

I see no menu in the BT800 to allow this.

Hope I am wrong and someone can tell em how to do it!

I have latest t-mobile a2dp rom and latest jabra rom
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
@GDawes, I don't think the BT800 allows remote access, it allows previously used numbers (people who call you) to be called from the headset. I think the Tekkeon ET3000 gives you the function to access the address book, but not with the Universal as fas I know.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
Re: I have not got that working

I guess my question wasn't lucid enough....

what I meant to ask was...if the display on the headset shows the caller's name which is taken from the address book on the device.

Does it?? please tell me it does!

thanks,

San

BT800

The BT800 does not show the name even with the latest ROM. It only shows the number of the person that is calling you.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
@dreamtheatre,

there are two functions:

1. When you get a call, the name of the caller is extracted from the address book

2. You can scan through your full address book from your headset to make a call

Now, for #1 I know you need both handfree and headset BT profiles, for #2 I have only seen the Tekkeon and I think some SE headsets that claim they can do this. But I think you need both BT profiles. I do not think this is the case for the Universal. I hope someone with the latest ROM can verify the BT profiles that are supported.

(my free Moto v3x supports both BT profiles and yes with my Tekkeon I can see who is calling me - but the HTC Universal may be behind the curve a bit)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
thanks for the detailed reply m8!

Its a pity that this 200kg monster cant send out a friggin name :twisted: arghhh!

again, somethings dont change.....we got to wait for our sweet monopolistic company to release a rom upgrade....we know how long that can be! (well, i actually love MS ;))

cheers,

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
well, you guys still didnt answer my question........

do i buy it or not??????!!!

best,

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
@dreamtheatre, after a bit of reflection I suggest you buy a modern SE BT headset with caller ID as the DSP capability (for reducing background noise etc) of the newer SE headset will better than the 2 year old design of the BT800. Also I have found the newer SE headsets to be more comfortable and lighter.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] GDawes:
Another annoying point of bt800

The BT800 only pairs to a single device at a time.

My moto ht820 support multiple connections which is nice, I have my universal as my phone paired, and my magician with a2dp paired as an mp3 player. When I get a call it is routed throught headset and music is paused.

Wanted to connect my BT800 to laptop for Voip and mobile phone, but forced to choose 1 the other.

Also the design is not that re assuring , have the feeling it could fall off at any moment
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cuteangelika:
I have the V3 BTH-8 and Im quite happy with it. i think it's cheaper, lighter, faster, better than Jabra bt800...but Im not ecstatic since it has the same problem as BT800. It just shows the number not the name. It says it's able to show the name and even browse the phone book of other models.. but not our beloved universal. I hope someone comes out with an upgrade for our phone so that i can maximize my V3 headset..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
After i saw your earlier post where you mentioned about your oled headset, thats ever since i've been thrown into a dilemma (i never knew the v3 headset existed!). Now i'm finding it hard to make a choice... :(

According to the feature sheet, the oled claims more (15 number history compared to 10 - i know i'm being a little anal here :P, and address book browsing etc.)

The problem though, I dont seem to find a distributor here in this god forsaken place :evil:

I'm trying to get it from a friend of mine who's currently in singapore....if he manages to find it, i might just end up with one of those....lets see :)

btw, ca....you have no major issues with it, do you? Stuff like static noise, or interference problems, or whatever may be! ??

cheers,

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] BatMan01:
I have both the Jabra BT800 and the Tekkeon 3000. Both are good units but the Jabra has better sound quality when used with my Exec. I have also used both units with a XDA Mini S for about 2 weeks and came to the same conclusion. With the Mini S, I was able to pull the phone book but it was a pain. It allows you to scroll from a to z one name at a time, one number per name at a time. This means that if you have say 50 names with 2 numbers each (mobile number and home number) then you would have to press the button 20 times just to get to the 10 person in my phonebook and the second number for that person. When I first read about this feature I was exicited but in application it is a pain so this is not a feature I will be using. Other than that the features are pretty close and with the Tekeon coming out alittle ahead with last 15 number recall versa the last 10 of the Jabra.

The Jabra (with it's out dated looks) has become my choice for 2 reasons, sound quality (as mentioned above) and upgradability. The Jabra can be firmware upgraded by the user as Jabra releases new code so it may be possible to have new features in the future.

Just my humble opinion
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
Batman - agree about the scrolling problem with the Tekkeon but its battery life, for me at least, has been much better than wih the BT800. The funny thing is that my 3 year old SE HBH-200 can do basically what the BT800 is designed to do (i.e. caller ID and making calls from the headset).
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jmcl:
WOULDNT BUY IT AT ALL.

I have installed latest ROM, and use BT800. No caller ID. But this could be sortly solved with latest firmware.

Dont like sound quality. To be more precise, almost nobody understands me while using it. If I am in the street, forget about having a conversation. Metallical sound, etc.

Despite some things I have read before, not that good battery life I'd say.

In the end, I dont like it, but check out more opinions. Mine is a little bit "oriented" as I am so with it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
@jmcl, as I said before the digital signal processing technology of the BT800 is now 2 years old. The latest SE phones are better for noise reduction or you can use the HBH-300 with a very good boom mic.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
@jah

what nextgen headsets from SE are you talking about? I dont find any headsets from SE with a display on it (except for one, which is totally lame :()

is there something i'm missing?

thanks for all your views guys,

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cuteangelika:
I have no major issues with it..

Well, at first, I was perplexed when I found out I had several outgoing calls that I didnt know of. My husband said I kept ringing him when I wasnt on the other line. Little did I know that I was unknowingly pressing the call button on my headset. You see, the headset came with a headstrap so I wore it as a necklace but it was so long (or maybe Im just too short) that whenever I leaned on something, it was pressing directly on the call button. I solved it by tying the back to make the neck strap shorter (well, i couldnt make me grow taller haha). Never had that problem again..

No static or whatsoever. I use it to listen to mp3s while walking and the sound is very clear. No problem with connectivity too. Battery life seems ok - but I never let the battery level go below 2 bars.

So there.. hope I helped solve your dilemma.. but ofcourse this is just my experience with the V3. I am hoping you have the same good experience with whatever headset you buy.. :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Riceburner:
Try setting up voice-dial for regular numbers - if you record the voice-dial tag in a quiet environment (nb: NOT through the headset), the Jabra noise reduction means that the software will recognise the voice tag even when you're on a busy street.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] mastelos:
i have both V3 and bt800 the V3is better looking but all other things is for bt800 i bought first v3 you can see my other posts in this forum and i had only problems. it is very very bad device the other people can't hear me when i was in place with noice it takes the back noice and makes it ten times louder

then i bought the bt 800 this is better device with very good noice cancel i when i want to put the headset in my ear the clip is not very good

but the biggest plus of the device and this is you must think is that you can update with new software ant there is no other device with lcd can do bt800 +qtek9000 ...best choice

*sorry for my bad english
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ffcphone:
I've got a Jabra 250v and just for the record, have experienced no problems at all. Previously used older SE BT headsets and found them to be a real pain. But this Jabra one always connects to my M5000 (takes 2 button presses) voice dial works well, no static (phone usually in inside jacket pocket) and voice dial even works in my noisy car doing 80mph on motorway.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] makuk:
Hi,

I'm using a Motorola H500 bluetooth headset, bt 1.2 specs and I have the same problem with the audio quality! That's static noise and bad range when it's in my pocket. Even though it's only less than 1 metre between the phone and my ear. The funny thing is the headset can still communicate with the phone over 10 m away but with the same crackly sound. Not sure if it's the headset problem or the phone? Lately I've noticed my phone suddenly not having any sound... I have to soft reset it to get sound back out of the device. The bluetooth headset still has sound though.

Anyone have the same problem and if so any solutions?

Cheers!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
@dreamtheatre, I was referring to the SE HBH-610, which has the latest DSP technology but I was not aware that it did not have a LCD like many other SE headsets. See here for a review: http://www.infosyncworld.com/news/n/6561.html

There is also the stereo SE headset here which does have a lcd: http://www.sonyericsson.com/spg.jsp?cc=gb&lc=en&ver=4000&template=pp4_1_1&zone=pp&lm=pp4_1&pid=10394 (not sure the Universal can make use of the functions though)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dima_the_chief:
I'm using JABRA BT800 + QTEK9000 for 3 months so far.

General issue: very bad sound quality!!! If you are planning to do a business calls, with JABRA, forget it!

Find something esle.

Unfortunatelly, their DSP works awful, quality is extremely poor, my called party ALWAYS complains about the poor sound quality even the signal strength is 5 star and the ambience is quiet.

The same remains on every firmware I tryed.

Unstable in answering/dialing. Often miss calls, even if had gently pressed the appropriate button.

The display, I was hoped on, is quite useless: NO CALLER NAME, (not a JABRA issue) even on the latest WM5, the display is unreadabe, especially when you are in a hurry or driving.

I always switch off JABRA for important calls\noisy environments and use just QTEK9000 or included wired garniture.

Going to try some SonyErricsson or anything else.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY for this piece of useless crap!

hope this will prevent you from a dissapointment.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ktulu:
I really don't advise you to buy BT800. Reasons: Bad quality sound (for us and the others); Switches off when you're charging; fails a lot when pressing buttons.

I've had a BTH818, which has costed half of Jabra is better than BT800.

Now about the "NO CALLER NAME": has anyone of you tested Jetwaremobile? My BT800 HAS CALLER NAME :lol: [/quote]
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dima_the_chief:
[/quote]

Hello ktulu!

The important question for you, please answer:

1. Does your Jabra display correctly the caller Name which is stored in OTHER laguage than english? Or stored in any other encoding? (If you have such names in your adress book?

2. Which caller Names does the JABRA display? Those from your Adress Book, or from SIM CARD?

3. What happens if the name is LONGER than JABRA's display?

Thank you very much for your answers!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] ktulu:
Hello dima_the_chief,

Answering to your questions:

1. Does your Jabra display correctly the caller Name which is stored in OTHER laguage than english? Or stored in any other encoding? (If you have such names in your adress book?

Jabra only displays caller Name in English, which means, without accentuation. For example, if you have a name like "José", it will show "Jos", because it can't accept the "é". As a conclusion, it won't work with other languages.

2. Which caller Names does the JABRA display? Those from your Adress Book, or from SIM CARD?

Using Jetwaremobile, it will show all the contactcs, either from Outlook, or SIM Card.

3. What happens if the name is LONGER than JABRA's display?

If name is longer than display, it will not slide, but it will shorten the Caller Name.

Hoping that these answers were useful.

jetware

looks like a fantastic piece of software... it's just that I don't feel like paying an extra 14 bucks, for something that should have been standard in my XDA! I don't understand what is wrong with the microsoft bluetooth stack implementation that doesn't allow it to function properly for the phonebook over bluetooth functions. Nokia's Symbian OS seems to work fine.

Hi I've got the same problem.

My headphones (brainwavz m1) aren't working with my phone. I'm running official firmware 15.4.A.1.9. The official sony headphones which i've got with package works without problem. I have this problem since previous update (about 10 june 2014 i think) i thought that it's software bug, and i had hope that they will fix it with next system update, but i was wrong. I restored fabric settings and it was fine for about 1 hour after that time the problem is still occurring.

Any ideas how to fix it? i'm thinking that's a system bug but i'm totaly green in this topic.
[Sony Xperia M] Fr@:
Same problem here.

Up until I was sticking with the original ROM (4.1) everything was fine and

every

headset worked (with/without mic, no matter the brand).

Now on 5.0 (Cyanogen) and only headsets with mic are working (again, no matter the brand).

It has to be a SW problem, but I have no idea where to start. Someone willing to investigate / explain?

Hey, I had a similar problem when first purchasing the phone. Some cables (CTIA) are not compatible therefore wont provide any sort of audio. Try to use headphones that work with the device (Sony ones will work).
