The Sound ID hs looks pretty good. The feature I like the most, which I have wanted for a long time with other sets, is the tracking feature (only [q] is how far it extends though). I've already lost one $80 headset and my $20 replacement was stolen by a former co-worker. I also like that is touch sensitive. The only deal breaker is the lack of an Android app which will hopefully be out by the time I'm ready for purchase (next month or two). The iPhone app looks damn cool! Oh and firmware shmirmware - If you can flash an EVO you can flash this too.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mario23:
The new Blueant Q2 will call out the names of incoming callers...a feature I've been waiting for...

I'll probably get it...
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
As long as their names are in your phone's phone book...
[EVO 4G Accessories] mario23:
correct...which is all I need...
[EVO 4G Accessories] redrazr7791:
My T1 does that also. I think its a feature of most of the new BlueAnt headset.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
true, they both do that..

The major differences between the T1 snd the Q2 are

-Bing 411 on the Q2 is very cool

-Clearer sound on the Q2

- NO BREAKUP on the Q2 when listening to music and walking around

Both are very nice headsets, with similar features, but the Q2 is definitely an upgrade from the T1; is also smaller than the T1
[EVO 4G Accessories] redrazr7791:
Smaller than the T1 :eek: Coming from a Plantronics Explorer, the T1 looks and feels like I have a pebble hanging onto my ear.

I would jump on the Q2, but I think I will wait until Christmas time. Hopefully people would have had some time with it and the price has gone down :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
yeah, even with the coupon code from blueant, its still 99 dollars...

you know, you could sell your T1 on Ebay for around 40 bucks, which would help lower the cost of the Q2..
[EVO 4G Accessories] redrazr7791:
Eh its a good idea, but I think I will pass. Never sold anything on eBay before and really do not have the time to hassle with it now. I think I will just wait it out and see how everyone likes the Q2.

Who knows...maybe by the time Christmas comes around BlueAnt will be releasing the T2 :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] rahb0sse:
I snagged the Jabra EXTREME for $49.99 at Staples... I love it so far... A2DP is awesome
[EVO 4G Accessories] akastixx:
They were both sweet when they came out tho. :D
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
good point, and the EVO still is!
[EVO 4G Accessories] LAYGO:
Dunno if this is thread hijacking, but I sent an email to the SoundID guys to see if they had plans for Android support:

It might be all for not as I *JUST BOUGHT* the Nokia BH-214. Thought it looked like it would meet all my needs & since it supports your own headset & I have a nice set of Shure E3 headphones, I think I'm set . . .

And by "JUST BOUGHT", I mean literally, 3 mins before I went back & saw my purchase confirmation email, I saw the email from Jim.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
"next few months"= god knows when

in internet time...

I emailed them a few weeks ago, asking the same question,and they said the same thing..
[EVO 4G Accessories] mario23:
I got the Q2 today and started playing with it.

Sound quality is much better than the Q1.

I uploads your contact list to call out incoming callers...works great.

I'm also using it with Vlingo right now so I can hear my emails and texts through the headset. The Bing feature is pretty cool. I'll have to play around with it more tomorrow as it has quite a few new features built in.

Overall I'm very happy with it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] LAYGO:
Right, and as a follow up I asked "before the end of the year?", Jim said "yes".
[EVO 4G Accessories] ericpd:
So you guys have basically given up on the Jawbone Icon? All the reviews says it's got the best noise management out there,... even reviews written after the launch of the Q2, as well as reviews on the Q2 say this. I don't know about the rest of you, but I'd give a slight edge to how we sound to the people we call over how the people we call sound to us. Stuff like getting news and stock quotes through some app is just sugar soaked icing. I gotta admit though, vocal announcement of incoming caller names is a draw. Most of these things top out at just announcing the incoming phone #!
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
we all have our own individual preferences, and give more weight to some things than to others..to me, the Jawbone just isn't loud enough on the incoming audio side, plus, getting my incoming callers name spoken to me are the 2 things that put me into the Q2..I actually have to turn the volume DOWN with the Q2, for the first time ever with a BT headset.

The Icon is the second best BT mono headset out there, IMO...
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
Ok, I just called my local ATT store and they have these in stock for 129. She said they have another one that is a Motorola something tx, that was really comparable for 99. Is the blueant really that awesome. If so, I'm on my way to but it now, I mainly use mine while streaming music, and right now I'm using a jabra 530?
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
no offense, but if you mainly stream music, shouldn't you get a stereo headset?

And yes, the Q2 is awesum, and buying from ATT allows you return it if you dont like it!
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
No offense taken, but unfortunately where I work, we have to have one ear open, so stereo sets are out for me. Does music sound good as well with this. Even though its not in stereo? On my way now to get one
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
the best of any MONO Bt headset I have had, and I have had them all....
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
How does it compare to Jabra 530?
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
for me, I could never get a good fit on the jabra 530, so I dumped it a few days after I got it..its been awhile, so I dont remember the sound quality, but, in the last 30 days, I have had a Blueant T1, a Jawbone Icon, and the Q2, and the T1 sound was awesum, but kept losing the connection,the Jawbone was nice, but horrible music through it, and the Q2 is the best of all worlds..Actually have to turn the volume DOWN on it, which I have never had to do on a BT headset
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
Just bought it. I'll give it a try soon!!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
Ok, sort of mixed on it. The clarity is better! But, I don't like that the ear hook doesn't swivel and the volume doesn't go as loud as my jabra. Gonna try it for a day or two and go from there.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
did you turn the volume up on your phone and the headset?

also, I have tried some different ear gels that REALLY made it loud..skull candy ear gels really did the trick...

give it some time, and try the different ear pieces it comes with..this thing is really loud!
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
Yeah, had volume up on both. Gonna play with it some and try the different gels. I can handle the volume, its plenty loud, just wish ear hook swiveled.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
yeah, that bothered my at first, but after putting the skull candy gels on there, they are large and round, and fit inside my ear perfectly, without being too tight or too loose; the ear hook sort of just keep it still, so, the eargel is lined up perfectly for my ear, and the hook just sort of keeps it from moving back and forth..

I can wear it for at least 4-5 hours without any discomfort, which I have never been able to do with any headset before
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
Stupid question, but where can I get some of em?
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
I got mine at best buy
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
Awesome!! So they just have different gels for the diff headsets?
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
Not really, I saw a post where some guy was complaining about not liking any of the gels that came from blueant. He said he tried some gels that were on his skull candy wired set, and they were perfect. Since I love the q2, and want to keep it for awhile, I thought I would check then out, and they ended up being perfect for me....ymmv....
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
Cool. I'll see what they have. I just know they are different with the way they fit, the small center.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
Yeah make sure whatever you get has that small hole on the back..
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
Cool. I appreciate everything. I'll give em a whirl tomorrow.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ericpd:
Very interesting. You guys are giving me an acute case of buyers remorse and the UPS truck hasn't even found my front door yet! Got a feeling I'm gonna end up caring for and feeding both of these youngsters,... the Icon and the Q2!
[EVO 4G Accessories] bwillet:
I would have loved the q2 if it didn't break up all the time while listening to music while the phone was in my pocket... Perfect otherwise. ended up going back to the icon after trying pretty much everything and the second one I bought is actually much louder than the first one! Now the only problem is the battery life, which hasn't been too much of a problem.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
were you keeping the phone in your pocket on the same side as you were wearing your headphones?

That makes a big difference..
[EVO 4G Accessories] bwillet:
Wase4711 - Didn't matter which side for me. Both the Blueant T1 and Q2 did the same thing, they cut out all the time making listening to music unbearable. The Jabra Extreme was ALMOST as good as the Icon, but cut out every now and then. The Moto H17txt was a close third, but had other issues. The Icon almost never cuts out in the exact same circumstances, and I use it daily at work. If it had better battery life and caller id name, it would be the perfect headset... The only reason I didn't stick with the Jabra Extreme is the call quality on both sides wasn't nearly as good as the Icon. Pretty good, but every now and then a call would be completely garbled until I disconnected the headset. I've seen other complaints about that as well. Oh well, finally pretty happy with the Icon after over 2 months of trying every headset under the sun.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
Yeah, for me, the T1 cut out ALOT of the time; otherwise it was a great headset..

And, I struggled with the Jawbone Icon for a couple of months too, going back and forth, trying to make it "the one"; in the end, the lousy music quality, and getting spoiled with the Q2 name caller ID announcement, made me decide that the Q2 was the winner over the Icon..My wife wanted me to keep the Icon, cause she knows I change BT headsets like I change my underwear, but, I am trying my hardest to keep just one headset, the Q2..

Of course, until the next coolest thing comes out..

Thank god for ebay!!
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
Love the sound quality, but gonna have to take it back today. It cuts out soooo bad. Even if I'm holding the phone close. Oh well, back to jabra extreme for now.
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
sorry to hear that..

good luck!
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
Me too. Is there another one that's comparable? They had another jabra that was 130, does texting and stuff? Don't know much about it?
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
dont know of a jabra that reads texts...plus, dont know of a jabra that is 130!

jawbone icon is next best, IMO

btw, download "vlingo" from the market, and it will read your texts to you, and allow you to do all sorts of voice stuff..was 10 bucks, but now it is free!

works with any headset
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
Thanks, ill check it out. But the jabra was at the ATT store. I'll call and see which one it was.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ericpd:
All right,... now I feel a little better. I guess most important to me is how I sound to those I call. How they sound to me is important as well, but my needs most evolve around those I call being able to understand what I'm say, and not giving them any ammunition to about my timing in calling or to make guesses as to what I'm doing when choosing to call. That being said, all the reviews,... consumer and expert, say that the Icon is King when it comes to Noise Management.
[EVO 4G Accessories] LAYGO:
I'll tell you what, I can't express how happy I am with the Nokia BH-214! When I get home & write a review. Simply awesome & really loud!
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
Where did you get it?
[EVO 4G Accessories] LAYGO:
OOPS! I meant BH-214.

I got it on Amazon for $48 shipped.
[EVO 4G Accessories] jtc442:
nokia

lol, i gotcha. i tried to look it up as bt, and it didnt bring anything up. ill try bh!! thanks. so what are the ups and downs with it?
[EVO 4G Accessories] LAYGO:
I just posted my review!
[EVO 4G Accessories] ericpd:
Nice review and nice find. You know what, this only shines light on one short coming of the Evo,... the FM radio won't work without a wired headset plugged in. This would be like succotash if HTC were able to fix,... well maybe not fix, because nothing is really broken, but if they were able to fit an antenna in there without affecting the form factor, these two would be a perfect match. Doesn't matter which decides to be the pea and which chooses to take on the role of the Lima bean.
[EVO 4G Accessories] mario23:
Been using my Q2 for a couple of weeks now and its been working great.

I've haven't had any cut out issues but I'm now streaming music on it.

The call quality is great on my end and I have been told by callers that it sounds good on their end as well. I'm real pleased with the incoming caller announcement feature, which is what drew me to the Q2 in the first place. I'm also using Vlingo to listen to text messages and reply via BT while driving. All in all, I'm very happy with the performance of this unit. Like someone else said already, I'll be perfectly fine with this one until the next awesome and sexy BT hits the market ;)
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
who listens to fm radio anymore anyways?
[EVO 4G Accessories] ericpd:
You got a point there wase! I only turn it on to listen to one or two recurring Jazz shows or an Oriole game while driving. Well now I guess it'll be Ravens games if I'm in the car. But then again,... whose driving at 1:00 pm on a Sunday?

C'mon UPS man!
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
there are some programs in the market that are "fm radios" that I bet you could use in lieu of the built in one..

but, I just tested the "fm radio" app that comes with Android just to see if it worked, and it does..but, with pandora/slacker/xlive, et al, for music, I would never even think of using fm radio anymore..
[EVO 4G Accessories] ericpd:
Exactly!!!

Now just to be clear,... you have the Q2. Right?
[EVO 4G Accessories] wase4711:
yes, just sold my Icon on Ebay, and have my T1 up there now..

Q2 is the one, at least for now!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
Hey, I noticed the same LED light on the front of the phone work to indicate charging and charging status.

Does the other one work? And in what cases? ...we don't have the option to blink/flash light for reminders or anything in the "Sounds and Notification" options.

I installed BsB Tweaks, which lets me turn on a led for when I have new messages, email, missed call. The same led as when charging lights up. it flashes green. However, this option doesn't work when charging, the led stays orange, indicating charging.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
I found a CAB that seams like it adds a patch to enable the boxes for "Flash Light" and "Display Image on Screen" for E-mail, Text, Voice Mail, and Missed Calls in the Sounds and Notification settings.

http://www.careace.net/2009/05/15/enable-reminder-for-missed-call-or-sms/#comments

Note: If you are also using BsB Tweaks, the Led notifications for these have to be turned on there also.

Finally, text Messages have the old look of appearing on screen too, enstead of just the symbol in the Title Bar. Sure helps so I don't have to go Title Bar>then text message in notifications...before I can read or respond to a text right away....just a personal preference i guess.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] -Jonny-:
If you mean to the right of the speaker, it's not an LED, but a light sensor.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] aZzz.bZzz:
thats right, it looks like 2nd led. i miss old led system (kaiser and older htcs)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] StrangeShadow:
OHHH! lol thanks for the heads up, haha

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LostAlone:
Hey guys

Thanks to y'all I've solved the GPS problem on my new SGS, as well as gotten it all nice and rooted.

However, theres one problem which is minor but is driving me INSANE.

I have a bundle of email addresses synced onto my phone, and for my primary one, I have it set to fetch every 5 minutes, because its a major contact point for me. However, it doesn't seem to want to sync automatically AT ALL. The only way I get email is if I open the app, and then it'll fetch manually. Obviously something is wrong here, and I want to get it to fetch properly.

Its an AOL address, and I have switched the settings to the same settings as I use for outlook (the uk IMAP server etc) but it seems to make no difference. Obviously, its never going to be as good as push mail on my BB (any way to get that on the SGS btw?) but automatically fetching should be fine if I can get it to work.

Any thoughts on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sorigen:
Hey, I have the same problem. Did you manage to solve it?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] NuJo:
hi all

i have a problem. it stoped working buttons on home screen (menu, phone, + ). it looks like that this buttom part of the screen doesn't works. you can press that button, but you have to tap a lot to manage that. screen isn't broken or something. any advice, where could be the issue? sry for mistakes
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
It's quite a common issue people have. A lot need to send the phone back to HTC to get it fixed.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] NuJo:
isn't there any other option to fix this? becouse it looks like a software problem
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
What ROM are you using then?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] NuJo:
i have official 2.1 update
[Hero, G2 Touch General] btdag:
Then it probably isn't software. Contact HTC and explain the problem - you should still have your warranty in tact as you haven't rooted.
[Vibrant General] spiz516:
I'm in the process of pulling the Music.apk out of CM5 for the Nexus1, and am going to push it to my Vibrant.

Question though... do I need to remove the current music player (/system/app/MusicPlayer.apk) before I put the CM5 one on there?

Is there anything else I should know before doing this? Thanks!
[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
Curious, whats so good about the CM5 music player that the Samsung one doesnt have?
[Vibrant General] rk0:
Well for me, I'd like it so I can use Last.fm scrobble feature. It doesn't support the Samsung one because the api is not supported and the its closed source.

@OP

Yea push it, then debug if it force closes. I'm pretty sure you might need some libs. De compiling the apk, maybe.
[Vibrant General] spiz516:
No clue. I just like trying different things out of boredom. :p
[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
Ah, same reason I stopped using the Samsung music app. I love it though, just want Last.Fm support.

I use the music player called "Cubed" as in the math symbol. Its free, supports Last.Fm and is better than the stock music player. Search for it in market under the author "filipe"

or

http://www.appbrain.com/app/org.abrantix.rockon.rockonnggl
[Vibrant General] rk0:
I just read the Vibrant5 thread. And eugene included the stock Music player in his rom. Might want to check that out.
[Vibrant General] amandadam:
Two music apps to choose from

I flashed Eugene's hybrid rom,which didn't have the stock Samsung music player.

I then extracted his Vibrant9 rom and copied and pasted the Samsung apk into system.

I haven't uninstalled the music app,that came with the hybrid rom,but they both work fine.I just prefer the ui from the stock Samsung player.
[Vibrant General] Duntkno:
Hey so any instruction on how to do this. I'm kind of a noob and really like that player...
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
I would hope that at the very least it can list more than 50 artists. The Samsung player looks nice, but it's a piece of crap for a media-centric phone if it gets overloaded by too much music.
[Captivate General] wuxingwarrior3:
Hello Everyone,

Just got my Captivate about a week ago, and this community has helped me unleash the beast within this phone! Question: is there a way to delete sideloaded apps, wallpapers, etc? I'm not getting any results googling the question and I've searched root explorer to find the sideloaded apps but to no avail. Any tips are appreciated.

Thanks!

Jacob

EDIT:

I'm a dumbass! just saw the app in the manage applications option, I'm an idiot.
[Captivate General] pinoymutt:
Also if you use AppBrain, all your apps (Sideloaded ones included) show up on the apps list and you can easily uninstall from the app.
[Captivate General] captivatedroid:
I have a sideloaded app that is not appearing in the manage applications (under settings) or in the AppBrain app. Any ideas?
[Captivate General] max_warheads:
Titanium Backup :)
[Captivate General] pinoymutt:
Maybe try sideloading it again? It may not take if it detects it is already installed, but you may have to manually delete the apk as a last resort.
[Captivate General] Raleran:
This method works... I sideloaded an app today and just like you, I couldn't find it in the application list. I clicked to install again and was presented with an "uninstall" button.
[Captivate General] captivatedroid:
I tried sideloading again, and it failed.

However, Titanium Backup found it and allowed me to delete. Thanks for your suggestions.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DAKIDD236:
Recently Google came out with an Voice Actions app that allows you to perform certain commands on your phone with speech.

Heres the Video

[YOUTUBE]gGbYVvU0Z5s[/YOUTUBE]

Cool Huh? But its only available for android 2.2.

Theres an app in the market called Vlingo, its completely free and you can do the exact same thing as Voice Actions app. I was blown away by the functionality and accuracy of this app. I just had to post it.

Heres a link to the app so you guys can try it out for yourself.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] boodies:
truly sucks for the people who paid 10 bucks for vlingo.... It is a great program though :)
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ELFungi:
I was trying this app out the other day actually, but I couldn't figure out how to get it to send texts via Google Voice instead of the phone's SMS. :(
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] boodies:
yeah, i don't understand why this option hasn't been implemented with so many users on gv.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DAKIDD236:
I think it sends text messages through your default messaging application. So if google voice is your default messaging application it should work.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] moonrock:
grrrrr i was one of the $10 purchasers. LAME.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] DAKIDD236:
I would try e-mailing them to see if to see if you could get your money back. It's worth a try!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bush2088:
love this app. i use it all the time.
[Touch Cruise 2 General] reg66:
oh my f*@king god!!!

just installed wm6.5 for the first time. trying to copy numerous files, from either memory stick or internal, - where before i'd drag the stylus to highlight more than one file, then cut/copy whatever - i'm unable to select more than one file to move because of the bloody finger scroll thing.

can't find settings anywhere, still there with total commander, when synced to pc to just do it that way, says i've not the permissions.

HOW TO DISABLE, OR WHAT HAVE I MISSED - PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!! i've got lots of small files to move
[Touch Cruise 2 General] Frank C:
You can select multiple files via file explorer of PC to your phone.....works for me in WM 6.5
[Touch Cruise 2 General] Frank C:
Check if you have this registry setting in your phone....

HKCU\ControlPanel\Gestures\Touch. Change value of “Disabled” to 1 to activate multi selection.
