I have a Jabra freespeak BT250 on order but from the threads it doesn't seem like its worth the hassle (problems maintaining the connection, lost calls etc) . Any recommendations for a BT headset that works flawlessly with XDA II. :?:
The problem in this case is not the headset
Even though its not perfect, don't despair.
Bluetooth is worth it - and I'm sure they'll get a patch out soon.
That is one reason everyone if beefing about it here - hoping O2 and T-Mobile are listening. :wink:
Yes, I bought a jabra 200 with my XDA-II.... ok so when ever the headset is turned off or most of the time when it is recharged you have to rebind the BT connection.... so what I say, I love it and cant be without it.
I'm using the Plantronics M3000 which works very well (no binding problems). The only functionality that doesn't work (and I guess the PPC doesn't implement it) is press the call button twice to redial the last number. Aside from this it picks up calls/ends calls perfectly, has 8 hours of talktime and only cost £45.
i use HBH 30 from Sony Ericsson no binding problemes, it works perfectly, just voice command is missing, may be next XDA generation ...
I have the Jabra BT 200 and I can get all the incoming calls to work fine but I cant get it to work with any outgoing calls. After i dial the number and it connects, I press the button on the headset but it wont transfer the call. I have the headset profile enabled in the today screen. Has anyone gotten both incoming and outgoing calls to work with the BT200?
I use the Sony Ericsson HBH-65, and this combination works like a dream!!!
Dang :-(
Bought a BT200 ready for the XDA II.
Oh well. Flawed wireless is better than wired anyday for me :lol:

Don't press the button on the headset when making the outgoing call. If you use the green button, it should show something like "headset in use - press here to select phone" in a popup (I have the German version, so I don't know the exact english text it shows).
You should then hear the voice over the headset.
If you press the button on the headset it basically terminates the call.

Maybe we can have it with the Handsfree Profile Patch :wink: ...
Ok....Thats strange....I was going to try what tbd had suggested but now it just works without touching anything!!! Now whenever I initiate a call it AUTOMATICALLY sends it to he headset without me touching the green button or the headset. It also transfers it very fast. I don't know why it didn't work yesterday but it does now.
Thanks for all the input - I think i'm going with the Sony Ericsson HBH-65
and hoping for the best. :?

GOOD choice!
I am using it now, and it is REALLY GREAT!
The speaker quality is the best , the mic quality is not very good in noisy / windy environment (same as almost all bluetooth headset), because it is not directly pointing to your mouth, but works perfectly in a quiet environment.
I love it very very much!
Just received my QTEK 2020 and Cellink BT Headset (BTHS6023) 9 grammes only.
Working perfectly I can answer to an incoming call by pressing the button on the headset.
When dialing a number automatically the headset goes on to be able to speak throw the headset without pressing a any button on the headset.
To hang on any call just press 2 seconds the headset button.and the line is cut.
GPRS with french orange is OK. I have not tested a VPN, but with my ancient IPAQ 3870+GPRS jackett I could manage to do it.

I have been using a Jabra BT 250 for a week now and it works flawless.
I don't know where the mentioned problems come from, but I cannot share them. Very comfortable, very good sound, 8 hrs. talktime and 200 hrs standby and the headset profile works fine with my MDA II.

I also have the Plantronics M3000, and guys I have to say something it’s better than my Jabra BT 200, the voice quality is really excellent. Concerning the bonding issue; well if I turn the M3000 off I have to create a new bonding all over (same case wt Jabra), so I am a little surprised how it works for you? :roll:
It would have been great if the redial feature would work :lol: , but as it seems it’s a problem with the Imate rather the headset.

Been using the SE HBH35 with my Imate and works just fine. Good reception and easy to bond
Been using the Jabra BT200 headset from my old XDA kit with no problems at all. Absolutely flawless performance. I was expecting to have to buy another headset. Have also tested the XDAII with the BT250 (no problems) & Motorola HS810 (no problems). Had problems with the Nokia HB-2 headset (binding issues wouldn't stay connected)
Has to be Jabra BT 250
the Jabra Freespeak 250 works perfectly.
NO PROBLEMS what so ever.
£79.99 from O2
expensive but perfect.
I have had no problems while using it. None.
Hands free profile would be good on the XDA2 tho as the 250 is compatible.

I have been using a JABRA BT200 Headset with my XDAII and have always had the same problem, once the BT200 has been paired with the XDAII it works fine but once I put the headset into it's charging cradle and then remove it and try to use it again it always loses it's bond, the only way I can get it to communicate with the XDAII again is to pair it again.
I don't know whether the problem lies with the BT200 or the XDAII
Does anyone else have this problem ???
Thanks
Ian Goulding
hey ian,
it was just recently that i was able to figure out the bt-xda2 bonding; thanks to some helpful chaps in the forum. in the process; i did some research within several topics and read something which may answer your query. when the headset is back in it's cradle; i believe it's "turned off" or is put into inactive mode. the forum message i read indicated that the bonding is lost once the headset is turned off; thus you have to bond again. yes, i have had similar experiences while figuring out the bonding issue. i just keep the bt200 i have out of the cradle; when the time comes to charge it i then holster it and repeat the bonding process once it's charged. i don't think it's a problem with neither devices; it's the default setting i believe. with luck probably the xda-developer guys will come up with a bug fix for this item. which could also include using bt for other than the phone function...like mp3....hint! hint!
cheers

I've installed Towa's GPS BT patch and the Jabra works perfect.
hey redbull,
what's the Towa's GPS BT patch and where can i find a link?
cheers mate
robson
Towa's gps patch has nothing to do with this...
I'm not sure what you are talking about, but Towa's patch will not solve the Jabra BT200 issue. The more important question to look at here is what version of BT200 you have. If you look on your Jabra BT200 right next to the microphone, there is a combination of letters and numbers, what does yours say? I think the problem has to do with issues in the firmware in the Jabra that were fixed in later versions.
It's usually 2 numbers and a letter on the boom to the Microphone.
I have a 47A and it does not work at all. Also tested a 48A and it doesn't work either.
mine's a 48b. works fine.
Cool, just so we are talking about the same thing, you can turn off the Jabra BT200, and turn it back on, and it still works with the phone? You can charge the headset in it's charger and pull it out and it still works? You can go out of range and then back in range and it still works? You can press the answer phone button on the headset when no call is in progress and then try to make a call and things still work?
Please try these various things and let me know.
I know that the A models are from 2002, and the B models are 2003. So it is possible if yours works with all these scenarios that they fixes or changed something in the 2003 models that allow them to work.
Thanks for your time,
LouisK
I recently purchased a BT 250 with nr. 44B and indeed it works with all the tests you described. (Don't need the BT GPS patch for that)
If only the advanced Headset Profile features would work with the MDA II I would be in heaven...........
Ok, it seems based on feedback I've gotten from several people that any Jabra Freespeak that has a "B" as the last part of it's version number will work correctly, but the "A" models do not. The "B" models according to Jabra are the most recent, and thought they don't admit it, there must have been a change in the firmware that allows the "B" units to work correctly with an XDA2/MDA2/i-Mate that the "A" units don't support.
LouisK
I have a "B" on mine and the same problem of rebonding when Jabra is shut off. I experimented by turning off bluetooth on the i-mate and it still worked. Anyone have ideas of a good headset that will not need rebonding?
I have problems with mine too and its a 16B. Turn the BT headset off and its rebond time again.....
48B works fine for me... can't everyone else just use TOWA's patch... that fixed the problem for others

16B is no good. I've been told that minumum needed is 19B. Below 19B is bluetooth 'handsfree' not 'headset'.
Towa's patch has nothing to do with this. It will not help in this situation. It only applies to Bluetooth Serial Profile, of which the Jabra has none. I have talked to Towa via email to confirm this. For those that installed Towa's patch and said it works, more than likely they didn't have the problem anyway because of the version of Jabra they had.
BT jabra 200/plantronic M3000
Jabra is model 45B, - no nead to repair, Plantronics M3000, no need to repair, but sometimes fails to answer call properly.
Hi 2U all,
I have just purchased a BT200 off Ebay, the number on the boom is 20B. No problems works well , no rebonding problems. Just one wish, it would work with voice. But I will keep praying!

EMAIL FROM JABRA RE-Bonding Problems with XDA-II
:roll: :roll:
Dear Ian,
Thank you for your e-mail and please accept our apologies for the delay in reply.
We are sorry to hear you are experiencing problems using your JABRA BT200 headset in conjunction with your O2 XDA II.
However, having tested the JABRA BT200 headset with the XDA II, we have encountered the following problems.
When completed charging the headset you will need to synchronise the Headset and the Audio Gateway in your XDA II.
Please follow the steps below:
Select Bluetooth menu> Select Off> Select OK (BT is now disconnected)
Return to desktop (Today view)> Disable BT HS mode> Enable BT HS mode (User
to be prompted to turn On BT radio)>Select OK
Enter BT menu> Select On> Select OK (The XDA II returns to the "Today" view
and will try to synchronise with the HS again.
Check connection by establishing an outgoing call. If no sync - you will need
to re-pair the two devices)
We hope this will solve your problem for you. If you require any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Thank you for contacting JABRA Customer Service, Europe

Seems to me that without actually saying it, JABRA think that the fault lies with the XDA-II!

Hello everyone...
I have an MDAII and a Plantronics M3000 BT headset and I have the same pairing problem.
I always have to repair the two divices for them to work...
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Rayan
I have bought a Plantronics M3000 bluetooth headset for my QTEK 2020. I have no problems pairing, calling and answering. However the headset just shuts off after a few minutes of conversation. It doesn't just cut the conversation but shuts off. I can make multiple short calls but nothing longer than 3/4 minutes. It works, however, without problems on my wife's Ericsson T68. Anyone can help ? Thanks.
Marek
Hello,
I have the MDA2 (same as QTek2020) and a Plantronics M3000 and It's been working just fine.
The problem you describe it's very weird since you mentioned that the headset works fine with your wife's mobile, and that makes me think that your QTek has some sort of problem with the Bluetooth stack or hardware.
It may be well worth to try (if possible) another headset just to make sure that is not the M3000 fault.
Do you see any type of error or message on the screen at the time of disconnection?
Does it always cut the conversation at the exact same moment?
Does the problem match the time the QTek takes to power save?
Any other clues?
Thanks.
I did not have the occasion to test another BT headset on the Qtek. When it shuts down there isn't any message displayed.
I have no problems with the BT stack (with the Pocket Bluetooth Tools patch) when using it with a BT GPS (Emtac) receiver, it works for hours.
However, your suggestion that it might happen when the Qtek goes in energy saving mode is interesting. I will check that tomorrow.
I'll post the result.
Hi
I seem to have a similar poblem after installing pocket bluetooth tools!.
I use a Jabra BT 250..and I noticed that the headset just mutes during the call..
I am generally used to switching off the display of the XDA after placing the call to power save ...
So I discovered that the headset would mute whenever i switch off the xda after making the call (which it never did prior to installing PBT)!
any thoughts on that?
maybe it has to do with the auto switch off plugin?
Actually I just experienced that too...
If I place (or answer a call) the next time I try to use the phone via the BT headset I notice the BT headset was turned off... Yeah, it could be related to the Powersave feature on the today plugin that PBT installs as a plugin... :roll:
Need to investigate...
Best regards,
Rayan
Both my bt headsets have stopped working since installing pocket bluetooth tools latest version, I have reverted back to version 1005 and everything is fine. I have a sony-ericsson EBH-65 and a skypower clip on headset.
my platronics does the same also its annoying you cant even transfer the call back to the device you have to hand up turn off bt and then turn it abck on and headset mode back on it also does the same on my pc
when im on msn using it as a headset it just d/c and i have to turn it off and turn it back on again
dont see what the problem is
btw the range on the xda2 and platronics is amazing i had it on my bedrooms desk and i went outside it passed through the living room wall and the patio window and i was stood 5m down my garden im sure it would of been over 10m and it was still working if i kept still when i moved it went crackly but ah well lol
just hope someone sorts the prob out
Hi,
I was having the same problem with the M3000. I just had confirmation from Plantronics that this problem is a bug in the product that occurs with the XDA II. I am currently in the process of returning the product.
Regards...Mike
Same problem M3000 doesn't work. Give up now before too much frustration makes you feel ill.
Try the Hello 2 headset. Work with my Aussie XDA2 and is very small and lightweight. Even had a neck chain to carry it around like a USB drive.
I bought the Jabra BT-800 headset for 119 EUR and was hoping to enjoy the headset w/o getting my PPC out of my pocketst.
Well that didnt work out. Pairing was easy, and after switching on the headset (in profile on today screen) I could call with it. The only thing is, I cannot get the call list on the headset to work. It doesnt show any numbers at all, and i wonder how its supposed to work anyway.
That being said, I also don't get to see who's calling me when using the headset.
1) Incoming call.... PPC rings..
2) After a few seconds the headset backlight switches on showing "Jabra BT-800" (standard text). I do not get to see who's calling me on my headset.
3) When listening to the ring tone on headset, after a second or two I get a really annoying sqreaking sound and that stays on till I accept the call or hang up.
So it is not working for me. Besides the headset does not stay on my ear correctly. I have small ears and it is really uncomfortable.
I have Qtek 2020 with Windows Mobile 2003 SE ROM (downloaded from this forum), ROM version 2.06.00WWE, Radio 1.18.00, Protocol 1337.38, ExtROM 2.06.100a
The Jabra BT-800 does not do what they say it's supposed to do.
Anyone else got these problems or solutions? Ciao
R.
me too
Same problem... They say it is also capable of BT voice dialing. I hate the way it takes so long to answer calls.
I am going to find out if the sony ericson ones work.. Then get that. The reception on the BT800 is great though.

After the upgrade to the Diamond 1.2 I have tried to bond my Bluespoon Digital. That was very easy and everything works fine, exept a call not is trasferred to the headset. I have tried both stacks, and I have tried it with the Sony Ericsson HBH 65. It simply doesn't work at all.
Does anybody have suggestions to what to do??
bluetooth headset not bonding

Hi , I had smae problem with new I.Tech clip headset.
It's ok now as I downloaded the POcket Bluetotth Tools from this link:

Now it's ok for incoming and outgoing calls...
Cheers..

Thanks for the link!
I had a problem with my Jabra BT250 after the WM upgrade. The mic and speaker remained active on the device, and the earpeice on my headset was active, but not the headset mic. The BT Tools did the trick.

Jabra BT800 & XDA ii
Hi there,
The Jabra BT800 isnt compatable with the XDA ii (check www.jabra.com)
I owned this headset and had exactly the same problems, i now own the Jabra BT200 and it works perfectly
The BT800 needs a phone with bluetooth handsfree profile to be able to use the advanced features like caller id. Xda II as standard has only bluetooth headset profile.
I'm not sure about the 2003SE rom some of you guys are using, but I've tried it with the Buzz WM2K5 rom (thanks buzz et al) and this DOES give it the bluetooth handsfree profile it needs.
BUT...
It seems Jabra's idea of caller id is to only pass the number across, and not the name. So for those of us that don't have a photographic memory its pretty useless. This isn't restricted to Xda's either. I tried a couple of Nokia phones that are 'compatible' according to www.jabra.com and these do exactly the same. Number shows on the jabra screen but no name, even though the phone is showing both.
I emailed Jabra about it and they acknowledge it is an issue. They also tell me there is an issue with numbers in international format in that they fail to pass the + sign across, so you can't ring out from the call list.
JD
Ya need 2.20 translated to have a working Hands Free profile.. BT800 needs hands free profile.
Caller ID still only displays if the number is a virgin to your system.. I think HBH662 will work with 2.20.
2005 may work with no problems too.
Hi and sorry for my bad english.
I have a problem with my Htc Touch Cruise and my bluetooth headset Motorola H700.
The headset worked fine with my ex P3600 but with TC have this problem:
when i receive a call, the headset responding correctly but after few seconds the audio disappears despite the bluetooth connection is ok!
If i shut off my headset the call continues regularly on TC, but if i re turn on the headset work correctly for few second and after stop.
The only solution is soft reset or turn off the bluetooth connection with commmanager and restart.
Someone have same problem?
Thanks to all!

No problem with my Samsung WEP200 BT Headset. In my case it work much better than with my old P3600 where people always complain about bad sound when I was in BT.
To be sure that your problem isn't linked to the Polaris, you should test with another headset.
Good luck !

I have the same problem and sometimes I re-apply pairing between the headset and my polaris
same problem with Motorola H700. and olso motorola HS 810
They seem not to be compatible
I have reconnect my old carkit bluetooth Parrot CK3000 Evolution and with my HTC Touch Cruise work very fine!
With my old P3600, the parrot ck3000 evolution don't work fine but have problem with audio and connection, therefore i had unplugged and i had buy the headset Motorlola H700 thed worked well with P3600...
Same problem with Jabra headset
I have also exactly the same problem with a Jabra headset.
I found that the problem only occur when bluetooth is first activated on HTC and then activated on the headset. if I do it in the other way it works fine.
that's also the reason why it works after a soft rest of the HCT or disconnection reconnection of bluetooth on HTC.
Does it only mean that the headset is not compatible or is this a problem on the HTC.
Vincent
I don't know the bluetooth 2.0 + edr is compatible with motorola headset
perhaps a bluetooth incompatibility
i read on it http://direct.motorola.com/ENS/HKernel/H700_Headset_detail.asp
this : # Bluetooth Class 2 for wireless connection of to 10 meters
(30 feet)
# Compatible with Bluetooth 1.2- or 1.1-enabled mobile
phones, PDAs, PCs, and more that support headset and
hands-free profiles
I had the same problem with the H700. It connected fine the first day, and I used it for about 15 minutes. The next day, it wouldn't stay connected at all. Tried to re-pair, etc..no luck. My Jabra BT-125 works great, as does my LG HBM-730.
HTC patch for bluetooth
I saw on HTC (in the e-club section) that there is a patch for Touch (is it touch only or touch cruis also? I don't know) regarding "bluetooth connection problem".
Unfortunately I cannot download it.
If someone can do it, I'm interested.
Vincent
First of all sorry for my bad english!!
What about the patch for HTC TyTN II? this one seems to be like htc cruise, both of them have the same specifications, may be this patch work on HTC touch cruise
Where I can found the patch ?? I want to try it on my cruise. If don't work I will restore all with a backup file...
you can found it on HTC web in the e-club section. If the patch works properly write it in the forum please!

Same specifications but different motherboard. Don't try it.
Ok......... thank you, I'll wait for another solution
After more and more test, I have found that the problem of the motorola Headset HS850 (and I think H700 etc. etc.) is the boom switch.
If you pair the headset to the Cruise and use it, it works fine (not stop after 3-4 seconds). Works great also bluetooth audio program:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-bluetooth-audio-v1-0.html
for redirect all audio to the headset.
But... if you switch off the headset with boom close, next time it will not work more than 3 seconds
So, the problem on this motorola is the automatic connection when open the boom.
Sony Ericsson HCB-700
Hi. I seem to be having similar problems. I had 3 phones linked to my HCB 700, and all worked fine. Very occasionally, I would have found that one wouldn't pair up when the ignition was switched on, but with my old Orbit 1, that may have happened once a week. I got a new Orbit 2, and was able to pair it easily. Now, it never fails to start paired, but frequently drops the BT connection. Usually a simple button press links it again, but it will rarely stay linked for more than 30 minutes, and could drop the connection 3 or 4 times in 10minutes. Then it may work for 30 minutes. I tried a reset to default settings, and re -paired the two again, but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. This can happen whether I have used the phone or the handsfree or not.. I'm thinking of getting a Parrot kit now instead - any ideas? Thanks in advance..
