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???
David

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.

Parrot CK3300 BT car Kit

I have tried searching the forums and can't find much Info.
Is anybody here using the above system for telephony & GPS; If so how do they intergrate/do they work well on the XDA II (I have ROM Version 1.72 with Radio1.17)
I Know about the headset profile probs not giving full functionality of the Handsfree use of the car kit but this doesn't bother me to much as long as I can Make and receive calls.
Thanks in anticipation!

I was going to get a CK3100, but heard so many problems regarding build quality, and lack of support, I got a HCB 30 instead.
It did not help when I tried to e-mail parrot for advice and 3 different e-mail adresses bounced back.

Works Perfect!
Just had the CK3300 installed today and it works perfectly - I Knew some of the functions didn't work because the XDA2 only supports headset profile but once you have transferred your contacts to the kit via bluetooth it works well.
Also the GPS works well with CoPilot 5 live; it picked up the signal straight away ; well pleased with this set up!!

same to me have the ck3300 tested with qtek2020 - works fine. problems with 9090 but after bluetooth update now it works fine. No tests with S100 at this time.
tested GPS with destinator 3 and map&guide fleet navigator and mobileobjects fleet management system.
don't use bluetooth tools after Rom 1.66 :!: CK3x00 didn't work aber installation of this

Any tips on setting up the CK3300 with my XDA2?
Just had the car kit fitted - i need both nav and handsfree functions - but i am not sure that i have got the phone and ck3300 to bond properly. So everything is 'greyed out' on the parrot.
Using ROM 1.72.00WWE (1.72.181) and radio 1.17.00
Thanks for any help received.

If everything is greyed out then it isn't bonded properly!
Step 1
Delete the pairings you have from XDA2 and car Kit;
Step 2
On the car kit turn the control knob untill settings appear- then scroll to 'Advanced Settings' - 'pairing a telephone' - 'windows CE device'
Step 3
Now search for devices using your XDA2 and the car kit should be shown.
Step 4
Enter passcode 1234 and accept headset and serial profiles when shown.
PAIRING COMPLETE
to access your phonebook you need to transfere the contacts via bluetooth to the car kit.
Hope this helps

XDA2 CK3300
Managed to get the GPS set up (fiddling with COM ports - even imbeciles strike lucky sometimes)
Some items are now in black. However, I am not sure that I have done it right as I cannot get it to use my phone to make calls or receive them. Which is exactly why I bought it in the first place.
So, please (please please) can you tell me how to exchange my phonebook?
I am going to sit in the car right now and have a go at your bonding advice...maybe all will become clear (but that is not often my experience!)
Thanks again for your help.

You need to bond the phones in the manner I described or it will not work ; this is clearly ststed in the Parrot instructions and on their website.
(I have noticed a strong correlation between people who do not read instructions and complain things do not work!!) - Joke

You also need to make sure your headset profile is active on the XDA 2 for it to work. Again reading the instructions for the phonebook - you tap and hold a contact on the XDA2 and select 'beam contact' - 'via bluetooth' the bluetooth search then comes up and the car kit will be found you then 'tap to send'

Now i have the opposite problem!
Believe it or not, I have now got the XDA2 and the CK3300 bonding automatically so I can make and receive calls whilst driving. It works pretty well (occasionally makes an awful noise, but only occasionally). I am impressed.
However, once I had done that, the GPS is undetectable. I have tried all sorts of combinations. I have checked the instructions - and selected the long code (ends in 9600) but I am not certain that I am using the right com port. I have tried most of them without success.
Oddly, this is the one thing that WAS working before I got the car kit to work (for calls). Somehow, either I have lost the right settings OR the XDA2 won't do both (although I read somewhere that it would) OR my ROM needs updating (uh?)
Please help.
BTW, I am due a phone upgrade - I love the xda2 but would consider getting another phone if necessary, if anyone can recommend one that is fully CK3300 and TomTom compatible.

I don't use Tom Tom myself but from reading these forums I think you need to install the patch on their website to allow Tom Tom to use the correct Port .
Your Car Kit also needs it's software updating if it makes a noise like you say. On the Car Kit go to > settings-advanced settings-information and you will find the software version (sounds like 4.03) if it makes a noise. The latest on the Parrot website is 4.10b and this will fix the noise issue.
If you need help installing this let me know.
The best Phone is surprisingly the Old Fashioned Nokia 6310i - it has a good bluetooth stack and uses the handsfree profile rather than the headset so contacts sync automatically but if you require live traffic info best stick with what you got as the Nokia will not pair with the XDAII and the car kit at same time.

Which COM port?
For the moment, I have a temporary solution.
However, I have updated the TomTom Navigator software and the GPS, but still don't know which port the GPS in the CK3300 should be connected to.
Any ideas?
And, thanks Nikpro for the excellent help so far - you are a true altruist and a star!

The outbound port on the xdaII is port 5 by default
On XDAII go to Settings - System tab - Bluetooth settings and make sure you check the tick box for outbound COM port.
There is also a chance you have deleted your serial port profile so tap on the bluetooth icon in the Today Screen and go to bonded devices. Select the CK3300 and delete partnership (do not delete pairing from car kit end!)
Then search for new devices from the XDAII and the CK3300 will again come up; create a new partenship and everything should be good.

Still having problems
Oddly, I still cannot use the GPS on the CK3300.
I am using my old TomTom at the moment for GPS and the CK3300 for headset - which works fine, but I wanted the CK3300 to do both.
When I try and reset the GPS to the (series of numbers ending in 9600) as stated in the info and the instructions (Nikpro, take note - I have read them - but your comment made me laugh), the TomTom just 'freezes'. Wait - and wait - and wait - and when it reincarnates itself, no GPS at all.
I am using the 1.72.00WWE rom and radio 1.17.00
I think that I have tried every permutation for the COM port.
Has anyone any ideas? Please?

When you initially pair your XDA to the car kit do you get a message about serial connection show on the screen? The problem must be with the tom tom software as with copilot and mapopolis it works fine? or the way you are pairing the two!
What software version is the car kit? PLEASE DESCRIBE HOW YOU ARE PAIRING THE DEVICES??

Hi all, 1st post and all that.
Have you tried falshing the parrot with the newest rom, mine picked up enough to make and recieve call, but i flashed my xdaII with 2.02.T1WWE this morning and it works even better.
Hope you get a result

Use Bluetooth tools www.bluetooth.jazztel.es
and edit the registry under hkey local machine, builtin, BTIBserial, rename BTIBserial.dll into BTIOBserial.dll
and go Start, Settings, System, Bluetooth settings and check both inbound and outbound.
Delete ALL paired devices, reboot, and re pair them.
You will now have an option for two serial ports, one for each device.
This is the only way to do it if you have two devices that need a serial port. If you have a third, you are SOL.
Normally, the stupid programmers who made the MS BT program, made it so it only had one dynamic port for BT. Some people would experience having to reboot before switching BT devices, most would have to re pair every dam time.
The new 2005 does not have this problem but it has other bugs.
They smart people at MS changed the databases so Mapopolis and other third party programs can not read the contacts or have other bugs with them. Plus the 2005 version here limits your memory.
The 2.02 - 2.06 will NOT work with Hands Free and most car kits need it and if you have caller ID via BT, you are SOL too.
The 2.20 is a stable and a good OS and the Hands free works much better. The down side is, when I get a call on the call waiting, even if I did not answer, it would disconnect the BT headset and no sound through the phone too. I would have to, click on Tools, Hands Free off, tools Hands
Free on before it would work. I have lost many clients this way.
I decided to disable call waiting in the phone settings and it only has a few bugs now like I have to turn off and then back on the BT headset after ever call or it would revert to Headset mode.
The caller ID will not display if the call is in the history of my BT headset or if it is in my contacts database.
I mention my BT headset because it is like a car system when used in Hands free mode.
Good luck, let me know if you have any trouble now.

Parrot 3100 with XDA II
Hello,
I have just put in a Parrot 3100 and it works fine as a handsfree phone.
is there any way when I am not in the car though to use my Jabra 250v headset without rebonding and selecting it as the preferred headset device?
I can't seem to switch between the Parrot and the Jabra when the other one is not in use without repairing.
Thanks for any advice

Try turning of one and turning on the other and soft reset..

Ok, I have just spent my entire weekend trying to get my Qtek 9090 to communicate to my newly installed Parrot CK3300 (with GPS). I have read the manual about 3 times from beginning to end, know the whole website parrot.biz by hard (ugly site BTW), and have tried about everything in configuring, but with no success so far.
Initially I had the 2 devices paired to each other, but after I installed Tom Tom 3, it is impossible for me to get them to pair again. Nevertheless, the 2 devices "see" each other (when asked in "Linked devices"), but they can not get to communicate. From all the stuff I have read on forums and sites, it seems that I need to upgrade my Bluetooth version, but I have no idea how and where to start this procedure.
Can anyone help me out here ?
Any tips are welcome !

Handsfree devices with WM6

Hey group I was just wondering how your devices (running WM6) worked with different hands free devices. I myself use two different items.
#1) Scosche Bluelife Bluetooth Wireless Car Kit
I like the device itself but I have problems with my MDA not automatically pairing with it when I turn the car on. I have to maually select it as the Handsfree option within the bluetooth menu on the phone.
#2) Jabra BT620s
Again great device for voice calls, however music seems a little slow during playback and the phone doesn't automatically pair up with it when in range.
That's what I use. What do you guys use and how do they work with WM6?

oh yeah, and just to be clear, the devices do pair initially, just not automatically like they did with WM5.

My Plantronics Bluetooth has the same problem, well similar, it stays paired up, but if an incomming call comes in, the headset doesnt recognize it untill I hit the button once for it to notice, then gotta hold it down for 2 seconds till it beeps then it answers the phone, and have to do same to make outgoing calls. I dunno what model I hav because I cant find it no where and cant find package for it, but its very similar to the Explorer 320...just looks different.

does it reconnect by itseld when you use it or do you have to manually reasign it?

Reconnects by itself. Turn on bluetooth on my phone, turn on the 320 and it connects automatically.

My bad fellaz, I got the Plantronics 220 Bluetooth, and the issue I posted above is what I'm having with it.

Hi all!
Most of the time I´m satisfied but I can´t get it to work flawless. Sometimes it just drops the connection to the phone in the middle of a conversation.
The most annoying thing is the skipping, mostly when I´m streaming webradio.
Anyone else using this headset and if so, are you having the same problems?
//G

Plantronics Discovery 340 works exactly like it did in WM5... perfectly...
Using WM6 Most Beautiful Edition I think (flashed so many roms that night hard to rem. which i settled for lol)

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!

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.

Nokia CK-7W with Diamond, it works!

Well, this is not really a question or problem. But just a headsup that the Diamond works just fine with my Nokia CK-7W.
However it would also be nice to hear from you guys (and girls) as well, since I can't imagine I'm the only one with succes!
You might wonder "Why the hell do you post this?!". Well, that's simple because when I wanted to find out whether that Nokia carkit would work together with the Diamond I coulnd't find anything.
And since my experiences with Nokia carkits and HTC phones weren't all that good (read: BAD, lots of echo and weird connection problems) I was pretty anxious to give this a try.
After testing it on another CK-7W, which was already built in a car, I figured it worked perfectly so I took the plunge and got one for my car.
(Before you ask, why no parrot or other brand? I was able to get my hands on this one really cheap.)
The only problem I got was the first time I wanted to pair the device. Every time after entering the 4 digit passcode I got a message saying the passcode was incorrect. Instantly, not even trying to connect. After leaving it all alone for 10-15 minutes and I tried to connect again it suddenly worked without any problems. And it's still working with no issues at all.
ROM I use:
SWIFTBL WWE DIAMOND ROM V7.5
OS Version: CE 5.2.20755 (Build 20755 AKU 1.4.0)
Base ROM Version: 1.93.405.1 UK WWE
So.. more succes stories here? Or problems?

Hi
I have the same setup, Nokia CK-7W in my volvo s60 connected to my MDA Compact IV running swiftbldade 7.5.
It all works perfect.
I even have MS Voice command setup with it and it annonuces incoming callers and messages perfectly and voice dialling works perfect as well.
Call quality is very good as well.

Hey - I've got my CK-7W working fine too, except I'd like to also enable wireless stereo... but the option doesn't seem to exist... I bought the CK-7W off a friend, and he was able to use wireless stereo, but I cn't - has anyone else had any success...?
Relly something I want for using TomTom, etc...

Hi i have CK-7W car kit and I am having problems getting my Diamond to pair can you please advise how you guys paired your ones?

Can't say anything more than I just used the normal way to pair, go to bluetooth settings, search for device and select the carkit + enter correct passcode.
I did however have some problems in the beginning. It would find the carkit but after entering the passcode it said pairing failed.
But when I tried later again it went without a problem, and it paired everytime without a problem ever since.
I dont think the ck-7w supports stereo audio. There are however apps that can route the audio over the carkit. BTAudio is one called if I remember correctly. That way you can have the tomtom over the carkit, but quality isn't that good really.
And some say that using that audio routing also gives 'problems' sometimes, as in it sometimes seems like there is audio (e.g. the car radio is muted) but you don't hear anything for a few secs. So that can be quite annoying.

hmmm??? My diamond wont even pick up the car kit during the search!

I had some problems pairing in the first place...
Don't try to search for the car-kit using the phone, just have your Diamond on BT visible to others, and the car-kit will try to connect automatically... I think you might need to hold the button on the car-kit down for like 10 seconds for it to search, but definately let the kit find the phone, not the other way around...

I fitted one of these to my brother in law's car the other day. Tested it with my diamond, but i expected it to be cross compatible.

Bit offtopic, but what's the advantage compared with a just as pricy parrot system?

Hi Y'all,
I am using my Diamond with the nokia CK-7W and it works fine as well. Paired up without much fuss....

Eh.. none? I find the quality better compared to my old ck3300 parrot carkit. However, this one doesnt have a small lcd display or something. Not that I missed the lcd screen though, but sure was a nice feature.
Best thing about the parrot was that it's possible to put a new firmware on it. Could make them a little bit more 'future-proof'.

Nokia CK-7W with HTC Touch Diamond2, VITO VoiceDialer
Pairing the device was easy. In coming calls are working. Push on the carkit button and I can answer the call.
The problem that I have is that I can't do a voice call. If I push on the carkit button nothing happens. I would have expected that the VoiceDialer app would be started and I could make a voice call. The VoiceDialer app works without bluetooth.
Has anyone an idea how I get voice dialing working?
Remark:
With my pervious cell phone Motorola L6 was this possible. Pushed on the carkitt button, wait on the beep, say the name, when recognized it repeats the name and the number was dialed by the phone.
