Plantronics M3000 Turns itself off after 2 mins talk time

Help!
I have had my M3000 for about 8 months now and until recently it has worked fine.
Last week when I answered a call with it, the headset turned itself off after about 2 mins of talk time. The phone thought the headset was still connected and I had to transfer the call back to the phone, and end the call before I could do anything else. It is now doing this regularly.
I have re-bonded and the headset is fully charged (even tried it while connected to charger!)
I have also tried to run the headset against my pc (audio output) and this works fine.
The only thing I can think of is the battery in the 3000 losing its charge when connected to a phone, but when I charge it, it is ready in a matter of mins.
Anyone any other suggestions as to why the Headset powers itself off ?? Has anyone seen this behaviour before ??
Thanks in advance.

mine does the same mate its the platronics m3000 its crap and doesnt work well with the XDA2 use the bluetrek G2 they work great

Mine did the same, but I just noticed that the XDA2 was on Bluetooth Discoverable mode, when I switched to Bluetooth Connectable (On) it works fine

Thanks to all who have replied....
I have tried a few more things out :lol:
1) Logged an issue with Plantronics :wink:
2) Tried my BT Carkit which works no problem :lol:
3) Tried a Hard Reset - Works great afterwards :lol: until I install my apps
It has therefore got to be a problem with apps and rom version clash??
Those who have had similar issues with the Plantronics turning itself off after using it for more than about 1.5 Mins.... Do you have any of the following apps ???
Belkin IR Keyboard Drivers (Belkin WPDAK)
Fonix Voice Dial/ UK Roger
Microsoft Money
MTUX Ringtone X
Pocket Bluetooth Tools (1012)
RegKing
Sandisk WiFi
SBSH.NET Birth2Day/ Calendat Plus/ iLauncher
Scary Bears Check Notifi
Yishin Power Check
CDL - O2 Customisiation
Thanks,

Plantronics Bluetooth Headset
I also have the same problem. I also have a SanDisk wifi card (which on occasion also stops working causing me to hard reset) and Microsoft Voice Dialler and Pocket Breeze and a number of other plugins. The whole point of plug-ins is to use them! Any suggestions???

It gets worse!!
I have just tried the Widcomm stack on the XDAII.
Its probably me, but I just cant get the thing to pick up the headset when I make or recieve a call, so that was no use.
To uninstall Widcomm I had to do a hrad reset (Widcomm disables the sound after uninstallation for some reason - grrrr), and now the damm thing shows the same symptoms - even on a virgin hard reset device.
My only conclusion is that something changed in the last ROM to kill it. I'll wait for another ROM upgrade and see what happens then, but will now probably end up buying another headset.
Is anyone on 1.72 with a Plantronics that works??? :?:

Ian - Rom 1.72
Do you have the 1.72 Rom on the XDAII from the UK? I thought it wasn't out yet. Is it better than 1.60?

Yep 1.72 UK.
Its better than 1.6x but has still got issues with it - like needing to be hard reset every now and again (grrr). But BT is more stable and power drain is better.

DarkForce Rom 2.10.2WWE / Bluetooth problem.

To All,
I've test the ROM 2.10.2WWE with the Jabra 250v and I found a Bluetooth problem.
You can pair the Jabra 250v easily,
But when you make a call, nobody can listen to you, meanwhile you can listen the other person.
I've teste with the Jabra620s it work fine with Mp3 end the head phone.
Finally I deduced that the ROM WM6 had been modified to function with Bluetooth V1.2, the Jabra 250v was made for BT v1.1.
This is the problem that we are facing.
Somebody have any solution?
Best regards,
jose

I have the same problem.

Also,this problem happen in i-tech R35d

All, I had problems with every WM6 rom, varying in seriousness. However, this one meant you can't use it at all (Blutrek G2). So I bit the bullet and bought a HBH-PV700 fo 19.99ukp. Have had no problems since.

The Bluetooth needs serious work
Hey ,
I've been using Nokia BH-900 headset and the vioce quialty etc is fine the only problem i am facing is that every few hours the connection just drops and i have to reconnect the bluetooth headset. Also BTGPS is not just working for tomtom or co pilot.
Any suggestions on how it would be possible to use one of the older bluetooth stacks from the original roms would be a great help.
Thanks

We have two families of wm6 roms: universal specific (Indra, Helmi, Jwright, Pdaviet up tu 08) and Athena derived (DarkForce and latest Pdaviet). Bluetooth on them share the same problem present in aku1.x original universal rom: after a random number of houres it turns off and up to now we don't know why?

Plantronics Discovery™ 640 - the problem is the same.

same problem with all wm6

bluetooth and probs
well hope there is some serious discussion going on in the big wigs for the bluetooth stacks. All of you are using lots of energy in between the 2 stacks of Microsoft and Widdcomm. Personally I prefer widdcomm but please get atleast one of them working for sure with everything
BTW the nokia headsets are working fine with all the WM6 versions I have used. Only the BT goes off after sometime with the blue light still flashing and then even the nokia cant do much.
Any help is worth a million

on my side the problem was with a parrot. It was solved after change the power off when running on batteries on the pda. Now it connects ever.

Isn't that due to the fact BT switches off when the uni switches itself on with incomming calls comming out of hibernation

Since v1.60c my bluetooth second binding is distorted

Since v1.60c my bluetooth second binding/connection is distorted.
In the car, first my TomTom gps binds and connect perfect and then my carkit Parrot 3100 binds and connect perfect. But when i make a phonecall, the line is very distorted. Some buzz is on the line.
And if i change the sequence, by first binding the carkit, and after that trying to bind the TomTom gps. The gps will not bind at all.
The last version that worked correct was the version 1.60c
Somebody with the same experience?
PS. is it possible to extract the Bluetooth files from the v1.60c version and save on the latest versions?

Gps & Parrot Together With Wm2k5 : Bluetooth Incompatibility ??
Same happens to me.
I'm experiencing this problem since I upgraded from WM2003SE.
Every WM2K5 ROM I've tryied does the same.
If once gps and parrot both are binded, you go to bluetooth settings/devices/and you disable hands free service, wait for few seconds and enable it again, then the parrot should work with no trouble.
It's the only that works to me...I have to do it every time I get in my car.
If somebody has the solution I would apreciate.
FRANCESC

Yes, it works for me too. But it isn't a beautiful way to connect!
Somebody know what this could be?

hi
could the both of you with the parrot 3100 please tell me:
.) does it sync the phonebook with pda's contacts?
.) does it show the name of the incoming call?
.) does it show mobile providers net status (=strenght)
if not: have you tried www.jetwaremobile.com ? does it work with that "enhancement"?
thanks!
regards ize|man

I will try!

Thanks for this information, I'll try.

Not working for me!

I think that I'm suffering with the same problem. I used to use a Nokia CK-1W for hands free and a iBlue BT GPS with Tomtom6 on my Jasjam/Dopod/Hermes and had no problems whatsoever. I've just changed the car and have fitted a Parrot CK3100 (FW 1.6C) and I can no longer connect to hands free and the GPS at the same time.
If I bind to the GPS first everything is fine until I attempt to pair with the Parrot. Upon pairing synchronisation starts and then for some reason the bloody thing starts to make a call!!! The phone doesn't recognise that it's calling, it's just the kit doing it. Once paired and synched the GPS connection is killed.
If I bind to the Parrot first I have no bizarre calling issues but I am unable to locate the GPS device.
What the hell? Have I bought a turkey?
Anyone with a suggestion as to how to fix it?

so. none of these three questions is answered with YES? does it work out-of-the-box?
so if i get you right: there is no way to sync my contacts with the 3100?
thanks ize|man

I mean it's not solving my problem

Didn't solve mine either. In fact, it made it worse! I still have all the connection problems but in addition, the battery meter no longer shows on the Parrot. Uninstalling jetware returned the meter.

S710 (vox) bluetooth carkit probs

I received my shiny new S710 today (replacing my imate sp5) i am having terrible problems with bluetooth and my car kit (Parrot Ck3100 with latest sortware) The phone connects and syncs ok but disconnects after a few mins and refuses to connect again.
I have an old motorola h605 headset that shows similar problems of not connecting or dropping the connection.
The Ck3100 kit has worked faultlessly with my imate sp5 for the last year.
Has anyone else had any problems with headsets or car kits?!
I have done a hard reset on the S710 and have nothing installed, and also disconnected the power to the CK3100 for 1/2 an hour before attempting to re setup the pairing

Nokia CK7W
On a similar note, while my Vodafone V1415 works with my Nokia CK7W, I cannot end a call by pressing the button. Last number redial (two presses) and Hold or something like it (press and hold) are OK. To be fair, the CK7W is a little dated, but has proven to be fine with both Blue Angel and Hermes.
On the plus side the audio is good, without any echo for the remote caller.

Nokia CK-7W and S710
As with the Qtek 9100, the S710 seems not to operate soomthly with the NOKIA carkit CK-7w. I have to turn volume up to 100% and the sound from the speaker is still rather quite. The person i am calling is complaining that the line is not perfect. So for me it is back to the standard corded earpiece.
So any tips using the CK-7W and vox succesfully together are welcome!

@mcroonen
It's strange that I don't have the same experience as you. What version is your software? Compare with mine in my signature. I'm afraid I can't offer any suggestions, it seems to be pot luck! Maybe we find some variations in the radio stacks that will sort this out.

further to this i managed to borrow a e650 (vox) from work and it worked 100% with my car kit and tomtom and laptop!
I spoke to htc who said they had tested with the parrot ck3100 and said it worked 100%, as my phone was struggling to be detected by several devices and also struggling to detect other things that they recomended getting it replaced.
Spoke to handtech who said they would replace asap

Radio: 4.1.12.37_02.83.90

I had problems whith the sound quality and people not hearing me well.
For me it helped to delete the registry settings for the nokia ck-7w
It's under software/htc not sure if it was in LM or CU. I think LM.
Good luck

Had the same problem. Qtek8310 was working fine, S710 not. After a reset of the Parrot also the S710 is working fine.

Unfortenately deleting the settings introduces echo and noise (voice sounds like robot). I think S710 and Nokis Ck-7w are not made for eachother.
I will try using the Parrot 3100 as on alternative BT solution..

I have the Parrot CK3300 GPS CAR KIT and no problems at all with my S710, works a dream

Hi,
You should visit http://www.parrot.com/uk/support/downloads
and get the latest software for your Parrot. You will need a bluetooth enabled laptop or to get your bluetooth enabled PC near your car!
Flash your parrot, then connect choosing a windows CE device. It will fully sync your phonebook too.
I use the Orange E650 and connect to my Holux GPS receiver and Parrot 3100 at the same time with no problems at all.
cheers

HTC Cruise don’t work with my Bluetooth carkit (parrot).

Hi There,
I have a HTC Cruise (dutch) and a Parrot 3200 LS-Color bluetooth carkit.
My carkit sees my HTC and I can sync my address book but when I receive a call ore when I want to call it doesn’t work right. I have to put the telephone to my ear again. The speakers en mic in my car don’t work.
Can any one help?
Thanks,
marco

update your carkit
Are you sure that you are on the best firmware for your car kit?
I have a diffrent parrot car kit (mk6000), and all my pb was solved by: going to the last parrot firmware, and after updating my phone to WM6.1 (not sure that this second is necessary or not)
Houms

I have a Parrot CK 3100
Version 4.16
I have also HTC TC with WM6 original
Every think work fine

You can try the jetware bluetooth extension.

It solved some problems with my parrot ck300 evolution.

My Parrot works fine with Polaris

Parrot 3100 working fine with Polaris here too.

I had posted my experiences with the new firmware update here:
http://www.parrot.com/forums/usa/viewtopic.php?id=1487
Hope that this helps

imo the parrot with the color screen is a waist of money, ck3100 is also more supported ! My polaris works flawlessy with my ck3100.

My Polaris works near fine with the CK3100, except the disturbing phantom call when your last call was not picked up...
The other minor problem is that the different numbers of one contact are shown separated (/H /W /M...) Does anybody know if it possible to show all together?

Parrot have a 4.17 update out.Try flashing your ck3100.

There is a prog on Parrot's website the creates a vCard of all your contacts in outlook this file is then sent to the CK3100 from your phone and all of you contacts are saved in the bluetooth kit.
I don't think the phone auto syncs these contacts though

Hi Guys,
I don't want to be rude, but the thread starter asks for a solution to his problem not a list of parrots which do work with the touch cruise. Not really helpful according to me :s.
Futhermore, I am also having a lot of problems with the Touch Cruise with the Parrot 3200LS Color. I installed the jetware bluetooth extension, which solved 99% of my problems.
The 1% left is disconnecting a phone call. If I push the red button on the Parrot device, the call is not disconnected. I have to push the red button on my phone to end the call, but still the 3200LS thinks the call is still going on. I have to pull the plug to reset the 3200 LS. I already flashed the parrot with the latest firmware.
Anyone any useful pointers?

Parrot and TC
Hi there!
I don't know about you guys, but for me it's simple, for HTC touch, and for TC with my parrot CK v3.13 here's what i do:
- to be shore, you reset your parrot (red + green buttons, then you hear "please pair device", and only with first pairing),
- turn on your TC's BT, go to settings/BT, Add new device (Mode - visible), and when parrot asks for code, it's 1234, as i recall.
- now you are paired, and when you enter in your car only thing you have to do is to turn on TC's BT, pairing will be authomatic.
this works for me, without any problems...
Hope this helps
Bye
