[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] SteveyJack:
Has anyone else noticed this? I've noticed it with the Gmail and Youtube apps specifically but it could be happening on other things and I've just not noticed. If I have emails and delete read them on my desktop then the notification doesn't clear on my phone and notifications for YouTube subscriptions appear when I unlock my phone. I don't think it's happening 100% of the time, I have watched email notifications clearing when I clear the emails on my desktop but it's happening enough for me to notice and make this thread. Power mode is on high performance, pretty sure it's all set the same as my Note 9 was, so is this another niggle that an update is going to sort?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] marctronixx:
Battery optimization settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] SteveyJack:
That was my initial thought but it's configured the same as my Note 9 was and I didn't have any issues with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] SteveyJack:
Something not quite right here. I woke up to no notifications for Gmail so I've disabled adaptive battery for it and it's still hit and miss with notifications.

No one else at all getting these issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] del1701:
Mine was doing something similar and the battery optimisation setting was turned off so I delved into gmail settings and found that all of the labels that I need notifications for had been set to No Notification [emoji15][emoji848] so I turned the notifications back on for the labels and it works just fine now [emoji6]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] jabberwock:
Yes, I do experience the same issues. I've checked the notification settings and battery optimizing settings multiple times. It is exactly the same as my Note 8. My Note 8 displays the notifications directly while my Note 10 doesn't.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] SteveyJack:
At least it looks like it's a Note 10 issue then.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] cbarth3:
Yes I seem to be experiencing the same issue. Thought it was odd I didn't have any gmail notifications and went into the app and all the emails came in.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] SteveyJack:
I can feel my sanity returning. I even did a full wipe yesterday and set it up fresh instead of the smart switch I did originally and it's still doing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] SteveyJack:
I swear it's getting worse which makes absolutely no sense at all. Before it just occasional times but now I'm having to go into the app every time to find emails.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] SteveyJack:
Talking to myself now but...

I had the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 arrive today, they're sat on my desk side by side, the Tab is getting Gmail alerts and my Note 10+ isn't.

Same issue here with Gmail notifications. Checked all the options. It was working before the security update though I'm not sure if there's correlation.

Same issue.

I don't get push notifications with gmail app as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Hazzay88:
Seems like the culprit is the Note 10 in this situation.

However try another email app and see if the problem exists.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] clubtech:
Same issue. Turning off battery optimization does not help. Only seems to be happening with gmail for some reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] discothan:
This worked for me! The Adaptive Battery Settings and some of my apps were in the 'Sleping Apps list', especially the one that controls my custom notifications... Zedge.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] katatonic1:
Did not help. Happens with various apps. As soon as I wake the phone up, the notifications come through.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] SteveyJack:
From what I can tell it seems to be better/normal when not on Wi-Fi so it's possibly something to do with going to sleep and not keeping the Wi-Fi awake for everything but also not kicking in mobile data.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] ktmom:
There is a setting in developer options to keep mobile data always on. Maybe(?) this helps. I don't have Samsung so can't test.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] smiley45:

(also shows the LED blinking– as can be seen, it’s in no way annoying)
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
(the second shot shows the set can easily slide out from the ear – it’s in no way as bad as with the Cellink phones, though)

Reviews:

Trusted Reviews’ one is probably the best review available, Interestingly, they didn’t consider the model comfortable, which I (and most of the other reviews) strongly disagree with: the Gear4 BluPhones are far easier to wear than, say, the Moto HT820.

CNET’s review is pretty superficial; so is

Absolute Gadget’s.

The IET's review is too a bit superficial. I definitely agree with their following statement: "I found the comfort of the Bluphones to be the quality that put them head and shoulders above other wireless headsets. At 26 grams, it is very light and comfortable to wear, even after hours of continuous use. I have often found ear buds difficult to use, as this reviewer’s ears tend not to hold them securely, but the attached headband, which wraps around the back of the head, holds the earpieces firmly in place."

The Amazon user reviews are worth checking out, albeit some of them have plain false info; for example, the statement "However for the purposes of listening to music, I have been very disappointed with performance. No base. Literally no base to the sound, the pitch is bland" isn’t true – I’ve seen headphones behaving much worse, bass-wise (for example, some real earbud models – for example, the Nokia HS-12W).

Cellink BTST-9000D

This is without doubt the less recommended model of the bunch. I just don’t see the point in using it, mostly because its AVRCP support is really-really bad (in general, non-existent) and, physically, is also sub-par. It has a pretty bad battery life. Avoid it!

(certainly shows how asymmetrically they fit on the ear)
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
(it’s worth noticing the big gap between the right headphones and the ear)

Reviews:

unbeatable: I strongly disagree with this. For example, it states "They [the headphones] are extremely light so as not to hinder you whilst you exercise." – well, if you also take the bad battery life into account (and the fact that the Plantronics 590 and, particularly, the HT820 delivers far better battery life, while they weigh in at about 30 grams more only), they in no way are light. The statement "It comes with a remote control too." shows the writer doesn’t really know much about A2DP headphones. (She’s speaking of the wired transmitter, not any kind of a remote controller.)

Computer Active’s review (also available at vunet) , giving it a 2/5, is far better and more unbiased one. It states "However, we do have some gripes. First, the triangular ear pads don’t sit entirely flush on your head, which means some sound is lost around the sides. The headset is also cumbersome and looks fairly silly. It didn’t fare well in the gym either, constantly slipping off while we were on the treadmill." – that is, exactly my thoughts and opinions.

Plantronics Voyager 855

This in-ear monitor (not to be mistaken for traditional earbuds!) is pretty much recommended if you do like these kinds of in-ear phones. If you haven’t ever used them, then, you may have a hard time getting used to them. Therefore, before purhasing this one, make sure you won’t hate the feeling and can live with the strong filtering out of the external noise.

Wow! Stellar review.

I liked the pictures as well. It really helps to see what they look like on a person's head.

I personally own the HT820 headphones and I enjoy them a lot. I honestly don't see them as heavy and uncomfortable but hey then again I have a large head so that may be it right there.

[General Topics] nonpaq:
I use to have the Plantronics 590, and now I use the Plantronics 855. All of the reviews I've read do not mention the black dense foam tips for the 855 that were included in my package. In my experience, they provide a much better seal and deeper base than the silicone tips. They effectively close up your ear canal like cork in a bottle. They are bigger and harder than the silicone, so they may not be comfortable for everyone.

I use them with my Dell x51v with cooked wm6.1 rom. Sound quality on MS stack was decent, but I could not stand the drop outs. Much better quality with Widcomm stack. However, I have found the 855 very susceptible to outside interference. I get constant drop outs with either stack along New York City streets when exiting the subway. Everywhere else is usually fine. (I did not notice this previously with the 590).
[General Topics] Myrddin Wyllt:
I've been getting great use out of my Jabra BT3030. The best feature is the fact that I can plug in and use any 3.5mm headset that I want. The stock units are far from terrible, however. Second best is that I can charge it with any mini USB cable. Third best is the mic is built into the unit, not on an earpiece, so regular heaphones work fine.

I use the provided earbuds, as they fit well in my ears (your mileage may vary), and effectively block outside noise...an important factor when listening on a motorcycle! The rubber caps from my Griffin EarJams (I used these with my Wizard's stock headphones before buying the Jabra) fit on this device's headphones, so a better fit is within reach, even using stock headset.

One bone of contention: the "necklace" is a cheap P.O.S. dog-tag chain that rips at my hair. I removed the entire necklace and the loop, and use the included tension clip, and clip to collar or shirt pocket instead.

My only complaint is that they are not very loud. Fully maxed, I can easily hear over them when paired with my hacked AT&T Wizard (not originally provided with A2DP), and I get a LOT of skips when listening, unless I kill EVERYTHING else running on the phone while music is playing. Again, I contribute this to the phone's shortcomings more than the Jabra.
[General Topics] jeepers007:
I've been using the Plantronics 855 with my Ipaq 6945 for a few months now. I have my music stored on my miniSD card, and found some of your previous articles on hacking line speed, etc very useful. It was necessary to improve the connection consistency with my particular phone and setup.

I find the frequency response good, with plenty of base. In agreement with your article, I did not find outside noise much of an issue due to the nature of the design.

I wear them during my trips to the gym, and one of my disappointments is that they tend to wiggle loose during exercise. I'm not sure any of this design would fare much better under those circumstances, however.

Also, I switched to the very smallest cushions (they come with three sizes) and my ear canals are still slightly smaller - so there is a bit of discomfort wearing them. I looked online for additional sizes, and cannot find any.

Your article was great, and it was nice to see the chart. This will be great for those interested in taking the plunge.

I have recently set my headset up with the bluetooth on my laptop too, and can now go completely cordless when I travel - a nice thing for those long plane rides.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Thanks for the feedback. I didn't find the 855 very sensitive to interference - the gear4 phones are MUCh worse in this respect. Will definitely give it a more through try. (just trying to discover my new tablet,sorry for not writing more - using the writing recognizer app. Not the FASTEST way to ENTER text).
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
For this kind of usage, I recommend the 590 the MOst -I've done hours of Nordic Walking using the 590; they stayed on all the times. (Hmm, Starting to get a bit more speedy with entering text using writing recognition. tablets are indeed very cool!)
[General Topics] jackleung:
I tried many A2DP headsets and stick w/ Sony's HBH DS-220 (or DS-200 in silver) now.

Pro:

1. Good sound quality and good looking

2. Very small and portable

3. 3.5mm jack for any any headphone you want to change

4. **** Can charge battery while using it ***** (I found many A2DP would stop working while charing it, which is bad for car use)

Con:

1. a bit pricey. ~$70-80 in Amazon (common to all $ony's product)

2. no LCD backlight.

3. LCD only provide battery info (unlike DS980 which provide caller id and mp3 tag)

4. No dedicated button for adjusting the volume and it's very hard to adjust it (what is Sony thinking???)
[General Topics] Hagow:
Great review as always. I have asked this before but still not sure if it is possible...

Is anyone able to use A2DP headphones and watch videos at the same time with no lag? When I watch videos I don't even care about the sound quality I just want it to be wireless. I mean if there is a way to to decrease the sound quality maybe it will take up less processing power and therefore the video won't lag, is this possible?

Any settings or apps I can install to make this happen?
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
You can manually configure the A/V offset in both TCPMP and CorePlayer to fix the problem. In the latter, it's in Tools / Preferences / Advanced / Manual A/V Offset +/- (at the bottom).
[General Topics] Hagow:
When I say lag I mean that the videos virtually stops playing when I have audio going through BT A2Dp. It just doesn't play and stutters.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Unfortunately, previous-generation Samsung CPU's (like the one in the Trinity) are very bad when it comes to A2DP. As has been pointed out in some ofmy articles, the CPU usage (at 400 MHz!) of A2DP encoding is around 52-53% - that is, WAY higher than on anoy other CPU platform. This can't be helped other than using an external dongle (when available for the given headphones model).
[General Topics] jackleung:
Maybe just some tune up is needed. My Eten M600 (WM5.0 w/ MS BT stack) uses Samsung CPU as well but I didn't have any problem to A2DP w/ video using TCPMP. Sometime, I have Iguidance running GPS at the background as well.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Depends on the format. If you use a video / audio format requiring little CPU time (fpr example, QVGA content encoded with ASP and MP3 - but in no way H.264 / AAC), then, you may have success.

a2dp issues

Hi All,

I own the Moto HT820,Moto S9 and the new Sony DR-BT30Q. Out of the above, the S9 is by far the best...in terms of sheer sound quality.

I have unfortunately exchanged the Moto s9 under warranty 3 times cause the buttons keep failing if you sweat even moderately when using them[big NO NO if you would like to go for a jog with them]

One thing i notice with my tytn is that i get a skip[or a couple] if for some reason the headset cannot communicate with the phone. Like if i clip the phone to by belt. if i put it in my backpack i DONT have this problem.

After the skip the music unfortunately shifts up a key[i attribute this to the playing speed of the track going a little faster...like an LP rotating a bit faster than required] and this is VERY annoying. I have tried MANY MANY roms and continue to face this problem[5,6 and 6.1 versions]. Has anyone found a solution to this?

The problem is clearly with the MS a2dp BT stack as i do not experience the same with the SE phones. It is also not a software issue as my SonyEriccson headphones work without a problem.

i look forward to hearing from you.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
the skipping problem may be related to the s9's not-that-stellar pedestrian interference tolerance. I've linked to some related threads from the chart on this subject.

The "after the playback is resumed, music is played back a bit faster" is a very common problem with all of the other headphones, at least with the pre-WM5 with the Widcomm BT stack.

(BTW, this is my first post using the keyboard of my TC1100. Not very good - Compaq / HP notebooks (at least the ones I've tested so far) have never had really good keyboards, unlike Thinkpads.)

I am using Samsung SBH-500 for 1 and a half month. With my HP poor Ipaq 514.

I may say that it's the best earphone I have ever used. I do not have so much experience with high quality earphones like "Sennheiser" but as an end-user i am really satisfied . This earphone has ~30+ hours of playing time. I just had 5 or 6 times of recharging in all ~45 days. Not more it. And also my poor 514 has not lost so much battery time. ~1/5 maybe.

Because of my 514's cpu power sometimes it stops to play with CorePlayer but while using WMP its ok.

The worst thing is it's charging adapter you may not use a computer to charge.

In my country (Turkiye) it's price is ~100 YTL . In my opinion Q/P is really good.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Sounds cool. Checked the prices; they're pretty moderate ($50 in US, 57 euros at amazon.de). Hope I'll be able to acquire one for some very thorough testing & comparison. How do you find it? Doesn't it make too much pressure on your ears (like the HT820)?

(BTW, when you make close-up shots, it's awalsy worth explicitly switching to Macro mode so that the camera indeed focusses to the subject. If it can, that is.)

Very nice review. I am also partial to the Jabra 8010. Nice thing is I can use it sigle headset when I don't need stero seeing as the other ear detaches. And at 50usb it was the cheapest good quality/major name stereo headset.

[General Topics] clonmult:
I had exactly the same problems with the Moto S9 - sound quality was absolutely stunning, especially with the N73 - the stereo widening and loudness controls on that actually work via A2DP (HTC, are you listening?).

And then to have three of them on the trot fail in the same way as yours - pretty bloody lousy for some supposedly "active" headphones. Totally unsuited to the job. And they're also incredibly sensitive to phone location and suffer a lot of breakup in the sound.

I've moved to a pair of Jabra BT620s - sound isn't as loud or punchy as the Motos, but battery life is much better, and they're nowhere near as sensitive in phone location.

[General Topics] Menneisyys:
BTW, speaking of the skips in Bluetooth while streaming via Wi-Fi (e.g., playing back YouTube), there is absolutely no skips or pauses with, for example, the HP iPAQ 210 Windows Mobile Classic Pocket PC having version 2-compliant Bluetooth. That is, these skippings are definitely not the problem of the headphones.
