Hi,

I have had a HTC Dream for about 3 - 4 months and so far i've tried two bluetooth headsets with it.

Dell BH200 Bluetooth Headset

Pros: Awesome Music Quality, Comfortable

Cons: On answering a call it would disconnect and shutdown, making it useless for that purpose.

Motorola S9 Bluetooth Headset (My experience, not sure about in general)

Pros: Also has good music quality, Allowed me to answer calls, good call audio quality,

Cons: Not too comfortable but manageable, I heard (and experience) that it does not do well with moisture (sweat, etc), and most important of all it tends to stutter constantly. If i am streaming music (Over Pandora for instance) it stutters to the point of being unlistenable. Sometimes it has bouts of clear playing but no longer than 60 seconds. With WIFI off as is usually recommended, it's a little better as in the stuttering happens at 0:45 - 1:30 minute intervals.

So after this very lengthy explanation here's my question: Is there a bluetooth headset on this earth that will do at least the following:

- Play stereo music of at least decent quality over A2DP (Willing to compromise on quality for functionality)

- Be able to answer calls

- NO STUTTERING!!! even if only with wifi off. I can deal with having to turn wifi off but when it's already off and it still happens it's kind of annoying.

Thanks for any help i receive in advance and i do appreciate your feedback.

I've had good luck with both Jabra's BT3030 and Sony's DR-BT140Q headsets. The BT3030 is a dogtag-like device on a chain into which you can plug any standard headset. The DR-BT140Q is a more traditional all-in-one set with earpieces that rest against the outside of the ear.

I get almost no stuttering on either set with Wi-Fi turned off. The sound quality is good with both, though the BT3030 is better, with deeper bass. I've had the BT3030 for a few months and have had no problem answering calls. I've been using the DR-BT140Q for only a few days and haven't had any calls come through when I've been using the set, so I can't say how it will work. But I don't anticipate any problem, based on how well everything else is functioning.

Hope that helps!

I'm using an iTech R35. It's a small thing with a mic, buttons and a 3.5mm jack.

Once in a while (2 to 3 times an hour) i gets a small lag but it very rare. Works greta for both music and phone call. I'm using sennheiser px200 with it or my blackberry bold 9000 headset.
[G1 Accessories] stooby:
I'm using a Jabra BT320S and it works very well.

No problems taking calls, pretty decent audio quality (even with original earbuds), and almost no stuttering with WiFi off.

I know these are a bit old now, but I would imagine that whatever Jabra replaced them with would probably be ok too.

Hope this helps.
[G1 Accessories] philje123:
Just bought a Jabra BT3030 today and VERY impressed with it so far.

I have experienced absolutely no stuttering so far and all the buttons work perfectly.

The sounds quality is very good with some really good bass added to it which I always found lacking with the wired headset.

I also like it as it can be used with normal headphones if I wish, although the included earphones are very good... and most important of all... it looks cool!

Jawbone Icon

Ok I have have a few BT headsets with my G1:

Plantronics 855 - excellent noise canceling and stereo, the ear loop was rather brittle and broke on me. I lost it . . . . highly recommend

Plantronics 655 - worthless, no wait . . . I can ebay it.

BlueAnt Z8i - had to reconnect after each recharge, low audio levels, callers that were used to the 855 complained about background noise, when it got run over I smiled:D

Jawbone Icon - Wow I have had it for a week and I love it, it stays connected, it is loud and clear, the noise cancellation is almost as good as the 855 (I thought it would be better than the 855 because of the Jawbone name). It has caller ID (number only, but hey not bad). It took a week to get invited to the MyTalk website, but I love the Dial2Do app (just a shortcut using the multifunction button to direct dial the service as far as I can tell). Still playing with Dial2Do, but I think I am going to load the voice dial app next. Only 1 week, but I am still finding little supprises.

I was on the fence and almost got the voyager pro, I have never seen a bad review of that one. It came down to the fact that I keep it in my pocket and I figured that I would break it quickly.

It is amazing what a BT aficionado one can become when the ear speaker on you G1 dies. . . .
[G1 Accessories] Bigt2003:
free memory?

Before you shell out big bucks on a new headset, how much free memory do you have? I have a cheap southwing 202 ($20 from eBay) but it works just fine when i have more than 20mb of ram available. Running widgets and unused processes take ram away from big programs like pandora. Get a task manager from the market and clear up some ram, then see if that helps first.
[G1 Accessories] juerujin:
Wow,

I apologize for not responding earlier. A few days passed and so i kinda assumed that i wasn't going to get a response. I appreciate all of the replies.

And now my very late responses:

@Highvista thanks for the recommendation. I may actually consider the BT3030.

@benoitb85 thanks for the recommendation but due to it's similarities to the BT3030 i may just get that instead.

@Stooby couldn't find the Jabra BT320S at first. May just have to look harder ^_^;;

@philje123 hah thanks that kinda reinforced my opinion of the BT3030.

@LiquidCool1 wow this has to be one of the most varied reviews of all. I appreciate the variation and it gave a few choices to look at ^_^.

@Bigt2003 Yeah, i'm pretty paranoid on my phone when it comes to RAM so i keep a vigilant watch on the running apps. but it's strange as the BH200 worked fine but the Moto S9 didn't .... figure it's just the headset.

Thanks for all your help and i'll let you guys know how it turns out ^_^.

im running a crappy nokia bh-601 and it works great when im at home or in the car (aka stationary) it gets.... i dont wanna say choppy. lets say the lyrics go "living is easy with eyes closed" (yes good song) if im walking/ jogging it will cut out at certian moments but continue the song on point ie. living is.............easy with eyes...........closed.

i should also note that this doesn't happen with calls

SK01

I bought SK01 bluetooth headset for 20$ on ebay and I've shown them to all my friends, so far 5 people have bought them..

highly recommended!

link:

http://cgi.ebay.ca/Comfortable-Blue...uetooth_Wireless_Products&hash=item335ca87255

totally comfortable, loud and clear, and it fits in helmets for the ski/snowboarders out there!

best 20 bones you'll spend!

PS, I've owned the motorola s9 set and it sucked, 2 pairs I went thought... My ears hurt and they die if show water to them... sport my ass.

I went out like 20+ times snowboarding with this set in my helmet and in -20 degree C.. never a problem...

They seem to work best on 2.1 roms... not sure why, 1.6 roms will work but after answering a call you might need to power them off and back on to get the music to stop skipping... they work like a charm in 2.1 roms tho..

EnjoY!
[G1 Accessories] glock83:
I got samsung sbh 500 - despite design disadvantages (must worry about two plastic elements that just like to disappear) it's one of most "well-sounding" headset - especially for music (I've tested plenty of them including almost all jabras)
[G1 Accessories] BigRonW:
I bought a pair from an ebay seller called "artyguru" (hxxp://stores.ebay.co.uk/Artyguru-Superstore) Brand I'd never heard of: "Bluedio" model number AV890, They cost about $10 (delivered) and I was amazed by how GOOD they sounded when paired to my G1. My son was jealous, so I bought HIM a second set, to use with his iPhone 3GS. Again, great music quality. The (tiny) BT module features two buttons, and two "rocker switches" - "Take Call" and "Play/Stop" buttons, and "vol+/-" and "advance/regress track" for the two-way rockers. One of my better EBay investments!
[G1 Accessories] mr.incredible:
These problems are not necessarily with the BT device. There are some serious issues with BT on the Dream (all Android mostly) CM and TeamDouch has solved most of these issues with CM6.

I have the Jabra BT3030. With a little bit of hacking you can get this BT Necklace. It sounds great. Answers and stays connected. Very little skipping (unless in a 2.4Ghz busy area, lots of wifi, mobile wireless phones, wireless mouse...) I use to have pitch problems. When the phone was CPU busy, the music pitch would get higher and lower. (Well documented on Google) Since CM6 I rarely have problems with BT.
[G1 Accessories] rickb928:
Where you are is important.

I've use an Altec 903 and Motorola S705 and had very different results.

The Altec sounds pretty good. But if I get away from anything around me, like in a parking lot, running outside, even walking in the gym away from any equipment or walls, it cuts out a LOT. It seems to need something to reflect off of, or I need to wear the G1 above elbow height. Armbands are good.

The Motorola is rock-solid, scary so. But sound quality is marginal.

Run a 2.2 ROM and use the DSP Manager to get some bass into it, and mild compression if you can bear it.

Hi all!!!

I have a strange problem with my pda...

Model: HTC p3600 (trinity)

ROM: Lasagna 2.1.2 ITA

OS: wm6

I always had Lasagna 2.1.2 ITA rom from the scratch and i never had problems. Because after 2 years my pda started to be slow, i decided for a hard reset.

Everything seems to be ok (after Hard reset) but when i turn off my device holding for a couple of seconds the power button and after it asks to me if i'm sure to want to shut down the device, it seems to shutting down but...it's a bluff!

It's still alive and losts the network connection with telecom operator so I have manually to remove the battery in order to turn off the device.

I've also tried to install xdaShutdown software but unluckily the result is the same!

It's driving to me crazy!!

Thx in advance to everyone try to help me!

Hello Super Users,

I have a HTC touch Dual, the problem I am running into is that when I connect my phone to the computer using a USB cable the computer does not recognize the PPC .

I have check the USB cord and tried to sync it with another computer but the problem still persists .

I have not yet done a Hard Reset because I have quite a few data which I would loose .

Could someone please help me out .

Regards.
[General Questions and Answers] hungry81:
Your USB cable might be damaged. (It happened to me.) Buy a new one (they are fairly cheap anyway) and try it. If it was just happening on one computer I would also suggest redownloading the latest activesync and reinistalling it on your pc.
[HD2 General] p_dibb:
a couple of days ago all the programmes i had downloaded wouldnt open, so i just downloaded them all again. but today i realised that google maps and copilot do not open again. when i try to open them a message comes up that says "the file 'GoogleMaps/copilot' cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. if the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file". how/where can i reinstall or restore this file?

thanks
[HD2 General] p_dibb:
come on guys i need to know!
[HD2 General] lorin.bute:
Do the rest of the apps launch? Do you have your phone in disk drive mode?
[HD2 General] p_dibb:
the rest of the apps that came on the phone work perfectly its just google maps and copilot. and i dont know what disk drive mode is, how do i enable it?
[HD2 General] lorin.bute:
Disk drive mode means you have plugged in your usb cable and connected it to the pc and are using your sd card as a storage device.

So it seems you are not doing that. It sounds like you need to reinstall.

Google maps can be downloaded from google but copilot... i dont know. I dont use it and i deleted it.
[HD2 General] p_dibb:
right i have reinstalled google maps but i cant find where to reinstall copilot. I dont even think it is copilot i need to reinstall because when i try to open it it says "the file 'splashscreen' cannot be opened. either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. if the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file". how/where can i reinstall or restore this file?
[HD2 General] p_dibb:
thank you for your help anyway
[HD2 General] Archer:
I've been in touch with CoPilot support about getting an installer for the trial version, as I have purchased a licence but want the ability to flash my phone, should I wish, with a custom ROM. This obviously won't have CoPilot included in it, so I need an installer.

I'll post back here when I hear from them, but I'm not holding my breath. They're particularly slow at responding to support issues.
[HD2 General] p_dibb:
ok thanks, so do you recon there is no way to reinstall copilot again?
[HD2 General] Archer:
I need to wait for their support to answer me first. At the moment, I don't know of any installer for the CoPilot trial.
[HD2 General] p_dibb:
ok cheers. how long ago did you email them?
[HD2 General] Archer:
It was about 2 weeks ago, but they have already answered once and told me to download it from the link that was in the confirmation email I got when I bought it. I had to reitterate to them that I didn't buy the software, as I'd already got the trial. I only got the licence key. I've not heard back from them yet. I expect an answer within the next week, or I'll start chasing them up.
[HD2 General] p_dibb:
ok thanks for your help i doubt i will use it anyway, it is just a waste if i dont get to use my 15 day trial
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeedzABetterSN:
Usually I'm really good at figuring things out myself, but I've just gotta ask:

What's the difference between the custom ROMs?

I'm using Fresh right now, but I might as well have spun a wheel and picked at random. I tried browsing each thread, but couldn't find any useful hints as to what it's about. Is it just speed?

I understand that 2.1 is under development and not fully functional, so what is MCR, Fresh, Modaco?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
MCR and Modaco are the same :) MCR = Modaco Custom ROM.

It is just a rom made by Paul O'Brien at http://hero.modaco.com

Really it's another custom ROM, just personal preference dictates which you use. Personally, I use MCR3.0, although there is a beta of 3.1 available for ad-free members of his site, and it will be publicly released when ready.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeedzABetterSN:
So the difference between Fresh and Modaco is...?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Fresh is a CDMA Rom, so you'd probably be better off asking this in the CDMA subforum.

Dave

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stafflover:
You could try and search for yourself, or at least be gratefull for the things Anon and others say

You're not gonna ask here how you're able to flash the motorola droid are you?

Cos the cdma hero is another phone. It has a dedicated subforum and people

who own a gsm hero (the folks over here) can't tell the difference because a CDMA version doesn't work on a GSM hero.

It's easy to blame others for not searching yourself, these people are trying to help. The only thing you want is a list of pro's and con's....

Considering custom roms are made to fit personal needs no one is gonna make a list good enough for you.

Search before you ask
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I did! I advised you to ask the question in the subforum for the CDMA Hero, but you decided to ignore that advice.

A little history lesson for you - the Hero forums existed long before the CDMA Hero was released by Sprint. Once Sprint had released their version of the Hero, Sprint users lobbied long and hard for a CDMA subforum (which they've now got). To be honest, the Sprint Hero probably deserved its own set of forums rather than just a subforum, just the Verizon Droid Eris did.

The *reason* that I advised you to go there is because most of the ROM discussions outside of the CDMA subforum is related to the GSM Hero. If you'd flashed MCR 3.1 to your device (as mentioned earlier in this thread), you may well have bricked your device.

Sarcastically saying that "You sure make it easy" when you've been given good advice isn't going to get you very far here!

Dave

[HD2 Accessories] fratealberto:
Hi Everybody,

I am using my HD2 since 2months and I share with you the general Idea that Battery life of 1-2 days is not enough for a device with the ambition to serve as phone as well.

I am using the device for professional activities: document sharing, webcalendars, emails on the go... but with an internet access not contiguous, since I only want my mobile to donwload mails when I

am not at home or in my office (were I have more professional stuffs

for that).

So, I installed the WMLongLife to Switch off communication interfaces whenever not used.

However, during last couple of weeks it happen to me to work prevalently at home and in my office, without the requirement to use the network from my HD2.

Accidentally I noticed that if I charge the HD2 and never use internet services (but only as a phone: 5-10 calls per day), the battery life magically goes from 1-2 days to 1 Week and more.

Is it normal? Maybe some device is not properly shut down after first use?

Now I charged my mobile on thrsday morning, and after 5 days of use I have still 42% left.

I wish to share your opinion, and to know if there is outside a better software than WMLongLife to preserve batteries when high speed connections, BT and Wifi are not used.

Thanks a lot
[HD2 Accessories] Lamsebamsen:
It's a phone with a massive screen, bluetooth, wifi, 3G and the list could go on...

I myself, is amazed that it can last a day.

Using it with constant 3G, bluetooth, GPS back and forth at least once a day, e-mails ticking in all the time, bluetooth headset and so forth...

The HD2 is like a small laptop...

- try getting a laptop run a full day on a battery the size of the HD2s.
[HD2 Accessories] kenkiller:
1 week and more? Wow....
[HD2 Accessories] Mj23foreva:
I fully charged the phone last night around 12AM, now after 13 hours most of which is standby, 1 hour of music, and maybe 30 minutes of browsing/playing with it its at 70% battery life. Is this normal?

I dont get 3G and I have wifi and bt off. Any other ideas to conserve battery?
[HD2 Accessories] omneity:
The HD2 is as good, if not better than any other smartphone I've owned. I always recharge my phone overnight, so as long as the battery's good for a day I'm happy. Any bigger battery and the phone would need to be much fatter to accommodate it.

A week sounds pretty optimistic to me.
[HD2 Accessories] Lamsebamsen:
You could try and turn down the brightness of the screen for one...

I had mine on 100% for the first couple of days, but it just ate the battery like that. Then changed it to 70% (almost can't see the difference) when it's on battery, and that helped a lot!

Then you should perhaps try and download BsBTweaks or something like that, and activate the "power save" option...

Something to do with the SD card or something, not sure...!?

But to be honest, I think it's pretty decent.

13 hours of stand by, 1 hour of playing music and 30 minutes browsing/gaming - and still on 70%.

You have to remember, it's a very powerful device and as such it uses a lot of power!
[HD2 Accessories] fratealberto:
Again I confirm,

charge this morning is still 25% left and yesterday I used internet connection for 15 minutes, then switch off devices and a soft reset to stop eventually pending drivers.

I do not use HD2 for listening music or playing films: only calls, contacts, synchronized agenda with gcalendar, emails, and internet.

Previously I noticed that after using even once the internet connection (without the soft reset), battery last at most 36 hours.

That is why I suspect some processes/services be pending in background and draining battery low.
[HD2 Accessories] fratealberto:
Again I am not trying to demonstrate the life of my mobile is longer...

... Just noticed that there are some operational conditions that may prevent higher power drains and to understand if someone else has investigated the point.
[HD2 Accessories] alfa71omega:
I do the same! :)

Check email one or twice a day. 5/6 calls a day. Wmlong life on. Don't care about 3g... it's set to be in automatic. Some excel and word files. Some sms. It's incredible that such a powerful device can stand by so long!:eek:

Otherwise when I use it for work, wi-fi, bluetooth, gps and bla bla, the life of the battery is about 12 hours... but who cares?
[HD2 Accessories] fratealberto:
9% this morning but still alive with phone interface working...

Do it exists for WM6.5 an extended taskmanager (AKA in the windows style) that can also reports for processes and spent CPU time?
