Hello to all you out there.
I have been the proud owner of a desire for about eight months now. I just got a new car, Hyundai i30, and i am planning to put a BT carkit in it. Can anyone tell me about their experience with, preferebly, parrot carkits?
Tnx
I have a parrot MKi9200. Reasonably happy with it, less so with parrot support.
Sync works, iPod play works as advertised. Software is a bit buggy, but nothing problematic. I recommend you get a good installer for it, though
I also have a parrot MKi9200 and works very good. Also with the HTC Wildfire from my wife.
as mentioned get a good fitter or someone who knows what they're doing. the i30 isn't to bad to take apart to run cables.
hi, got a parrot ck3100, good sync, adr book and stuff to phone but not a2dp (so no music through it).
I also have the 3100, and it works like a charm with my desire (latest radio and cm7).
Syncing and connecting with phone are automatic, voice dial works and parrot is easily updateable with a bluetooth connection. And above all, voice quality is perfect
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I've got the CK3100 and (as people have mentioned above) it works well with the desire.
A minor issue: GB roms appear to have a problem with BT where the phone doesn't immediately switch back to it's phone speaker when the connection to a headset/carkit is lost. I believe this is is GB issue. I've never experienced it before I started using GB roms.
Also, as people above have pointed out, it's probably worth getting a system that supports A2DP audio playback too. I'm using a separate Tunelink device for that.. and it works. But using two separate BT device to connect to the one Desire is a bit awkward.
I am using a PARROT MKi9000 with my Desire.
speech recognition is nearly perfect.
I use it for streaming music/audiobooks over the car-speakers, too without problems.
Installed it by myself without problems. Plug & Play.
Regards,

9200 is the best you can buy imo, does it all(at least all that you can expect from a car kit), and parrot releases updates frequently.

Hi there,
I use the MKi9100 in my Fiat Grande Punto and it works very well with my Desire.
I wouldn´t recommend to use the music playback function via bluetooth, though, as the sound quality kind of sucks...
Yeah, listening music throw bluetooth really killing me))
I should always choose between quality or battery life

Hello everybody,
Has anybody have tried the Kondor Bluetrek Bluetooth headset (especially the G2) with XDA2??
I've tried searching in the forums but seems nobody has mentioned it before. Just want to know what are the PROS and CONS of the said headset.
According to the reviews, its a great headset except for the fact that the ear clip can break due to major mishandling, but I haven't seen a review by somebody using XDA2.
I saw it in a shop (here in the Philippines) and I liked the style immediately. Price is also not bad Php3,500 (around US$60)
Hi yes, I have a Blutrek G2 headset and it works with my QTEC 2020 (XDA2 clone), I also use a TomTom Bluetooth GPS also and this works fine to.
I can even recieve calls while navigating with TomTom 3 with both Bluetooth devices on!.
Hope this helps you.

Thanks up to how many devices can it bond at the same time? Cause I saw with epox it can bond upto 4 devices.
Hi all - 1st post so be nice
I'm in the market for a new Smartphone and at the minute, the fore-runner is the Orbit 2 as it has everything I think I need to replace my current phone & PDA / GPS.
My car has the Ford BT kit installed and I was hoping that someone can confirm if all the expected functionality works when paired - as the Ford kit is made by Nokia, it favours those handsets and whilst Ford publish a list of 'tested' and approved handsets, there are no O2 / HTC ones listed. Unfortunately, I don't have an O2 store close to me so that I can borrow a device to test. I know that Bluetooth is a standard but as we all know, there are differences in standards between vendors.
Thanks in advance.
Maxi
I know it's not a Ford, but my my Orbit 2 works exceptionally well with my Audi. I've had loads of problems with Nokia's on it, and the Orbit 2 has been perfect. Very fast to sync phonebook too.
Good luck!
I will check this for you tomorrow. My Mondeo has both a Nokia CK-7W carkit and the bluetooth Ford stereo fitted.
Both have worked with any phone I have tried so far, so the Orbit 2 should be OK.
Thanks guys - I'm fairly confident that it will work as expected but there's always that 5% niggle that it won't. Could turn into an expensive mistake if it didn't !
Maxi
hi i have a fod focus 2 with the bluetooth kit. I am using an orbit 1 and have no problem pairing and using the device so i gues there wont be any probs with orbit 2.
regards
papa
I tried mine today and works fine both on the Nokia kit and also the Ford bluetooth stereo
Brill - thanks for your time guys. Makes that 5% uncertaintity go away...
Now, just need to find the best deal to buy one.

Hi there Maxi_pack.
I have one of the "new" Mondeos with integrated Bluetooth.
I had a Nokia 6021 before and that worked perfectly over Bluetooth showing all my contacts, calls in and calls out. It’s disappointing that this does not work with the O2XDA Stellar. I am in discussion with O2 about it. I haven't asked Ford yet, only looked at their list of "tested" phones on which I see the XDA Orbit and XDA NEO are listed as able to display contacts via Bluetooth.
http://www.ford-mobile-connectivity.com/overview?id=8&cradle_support=1&box_id=1
Note : it "pairs" with the Ford Audio and allows me to receive calls and make calls using voice-dial or via the XDA keypad but it's really annoying that the Contacts will not display on the Mondeos colour display!!! :-(
I notice the XDA Stellar has something called SAP (SIM Access Profile) for other devices to access its SIM, but I guess the FORD Bluetooth doesn't utilise this otherswise it would probably work OK.
Sparky.
they show on mine on the radio display
Hi,
I recently bought this nice bluetooth earphone (Sony Ericsson MW600) - because it was mentioned, it works great on Nexus One.
But I got a somehow strange problem:
when it is connected to the phone (at least, bluetooth settings say so), I can phone with this headset but I cannot listen to any music.
Settings say, it's connected to phone and media.
I tried enomthers and cyanogens latest roms.
Has anybody any idea, what is wrong?
edit: tested it with a SE v640i - works perfektly - must be an issue with the nexus/rom/whatever :-/
Thanks,
bastie
how did you buy them?
via ebay
it is unused and the package was not opened, too...
okay, after searching through the net for several hours - here's the solution:
it does not work, when wireless lan is turned on - for whatever reason
so:
first turn off wireless lan
then connect mw600 and play music
seems like bluetooth and wlan are blocking each other
Good to know. I just ordered one for 50 bux shipped when I preordered from mobilecityonline.com, which still is selling for the same price but now shipping is no longer free because it's no longer a preorder item. I figured its better than retail or ebay after my stint with a fake SE product a few years back. Thanks for the info!
One thing I learn is never buy bluetooth headsets or memory cards from ebay. 99.9% of them are fakes.

Hello Everyone,
kpjimmy, I ordered and received my MW600 from mobilecityonline.com too. They seem to have nice service.
How can we tell if we got a counterfeit device or not. I had problems in the past with serveral brands?
Did you find the instruction in the box were not detailed ?
I went to sony ericsson support page for the MW600, no user guide pdf file. Only the warranty pdf. I noticed for the other devices such as the DS205,DS970,DS980 there are user guide pdf files. Have you found one for the MW600?
Must say, I am impressed with the battery life. I took out of the box, charged for 8 hours as per instructions. Turned it on, paired it, turned on the FM radio with 100% volume. It went 10.75 hrs, even a few phone calls before dead. Did 3 full 8 hrs charges/10.75hrs to full discharges cycles.
Thank you,
Monnie
I have used the headset for a week or so and I must say it is an awesome little headset for the cash! I also have the plantronics 590A but that is for my personal home use, but the MW600 is great for the office or when you are out and about. I haven't taken any calls with the headset yet though.
As for this being possibly a fake headset? I have to say my last 'fake' headset was in the box, (wasn't sealed btw) and when used, the sound was too tinny like cheapo headsets you get at your local convenience store. This one I received from Mobilecityonline, in my opinion the real deal. The sound is nice and functions as it should. Very satisfied with the headset.
Anyone want a aliph icon? LOL kiddin...that's what I use when in the car.
Jimmy you work for SE? you haven't take any calls yet? and you used it for so long? or do you work for mobilecityonline.com? let me know what is your deal?
I hace one and very annoying problem with this headset . When i plug id to HD2 and turn on the WIFI , music freeze for a less then second and sound geting disorted and very thin (it sound like the music change frequency to very low. Anyone had this problem ?

I don't work for either. I am a BT and tech junkie . I have taken a call on the MW600 and all sounds fine and works great as expected. I have since use my Aliph Icon with the new A2DP drivers installed.
However, I also have gotten the BlueAnt S4. I have used this more than the MW600 and I have to admit I love the thing. It is truely handsfree and the sound is great, clear, loud and is truly handsfree.

You plug in? The MW600 does not need to be plugged in. The HD2 has A2DP. All you need to do is turn on your bluetooth and pair the phone with the headset. When you play the music with your bluetooth on, the phone should automatically connect to the headset and play wirelessly, no plugging in necessary. Please give us additional detail. Thanks!
my mw600 works great - 5.0.5.3 through froyo.
so the skip forward/back and play/pause buttons on this can control the music?
Because I've lost the original N1 remote and am looking for decent replacements.
Thanks
it controls music. display obviously doesn't show the track like it might if paired with a sony device however. touch volume slider is kinda annoying.

Same here !!!
Really annoying!
Just got it. Had a Nokia BH-103 before but it broke. On the Nokia the sound sometimes was getting faster or a bit slower from time to time but that did not annoy me that much, now i can hardly hear on song. even if i turn of wifi the issue remains. please please help. really was looking forward to use my new mw600 and now the expirence is ruined.
headset works great with ps3 and notebook even over "big" distance (can hear music in every room of my flat)
so i guess it's the devices fault
having a htc hero using villian rom 10.2
PLEASE HELP
SOLVED !!!!!
setting the cpu speed somehow messes up bluetooth audio transfare
disabled overclocking now works like a charm
I tried my friend's SE MH-100 which he uses for his Aino, but my N1 can't even find it via bluetooth. I ordered the MBS 200 which is a bluetooth speaker also from SE and I'm still waiting for it.
Any clue why it can't find the MH-100? Im afraid it wont be able to scan the MBS200's bletooth as well
UPDATE: It's working great
I ordered one from ebay just now because Sony Ericsson Canada is selling is for $99.99 (mobilecityonline sells it for $50 but charges $40 US for shipping too Canada...)
After reading stories about fake bluetooth, I am worried. How do I tell if the one I bought is genuine or not? I bought it from this seller: http://cgi.ebay.com/SonyEricsson-MW...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e5cfdeebe
I purchased one from mobilecityonline in person.
I don't really like the volume control, but I encounter a pairing problem with nexus one.
If I keep the pairing with the phone, it works 100%, but if I connect it to another device, it refuse to connect to nexus one again except I pair them again.
The battery is awesome though, I play 8 hours of wireless music and the battery doesn't run out.
I have a set of Rockfish stereo headphones. they have been clear in calls and listening to music. Connected them to the sensation and now everybody that I talks to says that they hear an echo on their end when we are talking. This did not happen with my 2.0 version on the hd2. Is anybody else having a problem with migrating their previous 2.0 headphones to the sensations 3.0 bluetooth format?
If not, does anyone know how I can remedy this (if there is one)? Thanks in advance.
My Sony DRBT100CX's are 2.1 and work great.

He is asking if anyone coming from Bluetooth 2.0 is having problems with their headsets on bluetooth 3.0
Ye. I have the same issue. The Phone will sync to bluetooth in my car but everyone states they get echo feedback. I have posted email to HTC, see what they come up with.
nice catch.

Hi,
I have a similar problem.i have a Sennheiser bluetooth earpiece. It works well on my Hd2, but on some Sense 3.0 ROMS , it would sound bubbly almost underwater.I have found the same thing with the Sensation.
So maybe it does have something to do with Sense 3.0.
I have the same problem. When using my bluetooth speakerphone in the car, the other caller complains of echos and bad background noise. I have no problems when I use it with my Vibrant. This sucks.
I have the same issue with my carkit. Lots of complaints from receivers:
Bluetooth carkit quality
I've been having issues with BT as well. Echos as you describe on calls but also i can only connect to media upon initial pair. I have jambox, jawbone and a stereo headset that all are A2DP but only connect to phone audio when i connect to them. They will do media the when first paired. I have to keep unpairing and pairing to get media. Was like that on all 3 sensations i've had. TMO US needs an update in a bad bad way.... This is the buggiest phone i've ever had

Totally agree. May take mine back.
Sony mw600 headphones, Kenwood DDX-812 and my pc all pair fine for me.
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA Premium App
Same issue. Jabra BT2015 (Bluetooth version 2.0) was working fine with my HD2, but with the Sensation, callers complain of excessive background noises.
Thaught it was my phone, but tried yesterday with an another Sensation in the shop & was the same. Too high noise. So I thaught it must be the headset.
I have used my IOGEAR Solar Bluetooth Car Kit with my MyTouch 3G and with my Vibrant and never had complaints from callers. My fiance won't even talk to me when I use it with my Sensation. She complains about an echoing noise and horribly loud background noises.
Bluetooth issue - no audio on carkit
My bluetooth pairs with my car kit, can answer and hangup with car kit, but no audio goes through car kit.
It did work when i first got my sensation.
I got root (temp) and deleted some "bloatware" (maybe something i shouldn't have), then I upgraded to latest software. Now i have above problem.
anyone know is upgrade may have caused problem - or do i need to replace driver???? if so anyone got the file?

bumping this for the people who might have missed this thread
I have the Jawbone Icon and while I don't have an echo incoming sounds are hallow and tinny with a bit of crackle. Sounds like crap. Although the people I speak to say I sound great. On my SGS2 people say I sound great however they say I don't sound as good.
I've been having bluetooth problems with this phone since day 1 & I'm wondering if it's just my phone or if anyone else is having the same experience. No matter what rom or headset I use, I get a craptastic connection. I don't have any problems pairing devices, but I can't get 10 feet away from the phone without it disconnecting and I can't even turn my head without the audio cutting out. It also randomly disconnects for no reason & sometimes won't reconnect until I reboot. This has happened with every rom I've tried & every headset too. I've bought & returned multiple headsets thinking it was just my Blueant, but it happens with every one.
Could I have a faulty unit or does the bluetooth on this phone really suck this bad? I listen to podcasts & music all day long at work so I need to have a decent connection. Opinions needed please.
I think it may be a bad phone.
I have and used the following bluetooth devices:
Plantronics 590A
Jawbone Icon and Era
BlueAnt S4 which I use in the car. And auto connects before I sit down to drive when I have it on.
Sony Ericsson MW600
And Jabra Pro 9470 (office phone setup that connects to my phone via bt)
All connects without a problem. Have you done a titanium backup and perform a factory reset? And after the reset use titanium backup to restore app and data only and leave the system settings alone. You can restore the wifi stuff if you like. From there that's like a fresh install. Hope that works for you.
Yeah I've done many, many wipes & fresh installs & nothing helps. I don't have any problems connecting, I just have problems STAYING connected & listening to audio. It cuts out constantly without me even touching the phone. I've never had such shoddy bluetooth on any other device.
*sigh* Looks like I may be doing an exchange...

Well before leaving the store...if you are going to a brick and mortar to do the exchange, bring the bt headset with you and try it out there and try to replicate the problem with a new phone.
I do not have range problems but I don't usually have my phone more than 5 ft way from me when talking on it via bt.
I have a replacement on the way for bluetooth problems,people complained of a horrid background noise and the range was maybe 8 feet before major static would kick in

My BT sounds like crap! People say it sounds like I'm in a wind tunnel or they can't hear me that well, when they speak to me it cuts in and out.
This is when I connect to my Parrot BT in my truck. I know its not the Parrot system because my HD2 works fine with it.

I have a Dual car stereo & now that I think about it, everyone says they can't hear me even though I installed the mic on the side column & it's no more than a foot from my face at any time. Aargh this is so annoying. Freaking $600 phone & my damn $25 RAZR from Big Lots has better bluetooth.
If I bring it to the store, would they exchange it for me? I ordered it directly from T-Mobile, I didn't get it in a store.

So whats the deal? Has anyone been able to fix the BT problems with this phone yet?
Can we flash a different BT.apk file or something?
Somebody by now should have some answers I would think.

horrid bluetooth sound quality
it seems a lot of people have been having issues with the bluetooth sound quality. i have mine paired with a motorola HF850 car kit, which has bluetooth v1.1, or something like that. i wonder if the problem is with backward compatibility, as people seem not to have as many issues with newer devices. would flashing a different radio potentiall help this problem? is it possible to downgrade the bluetooth version with a custom ROM? any other thoughts on ways to address this issue?
