Just got the Sennheiser MM550 bluetooth headphones to use with my Galaxy S. Everything works well, including voice control and using the controls for FF etc on the headphones.
My one big problem is when receiving a call on the Galaxy. First, the headphones play their own ringtone and not the one I have selected on the phone. More importantly, caller announcing does not work over the headphones. I have tried lots of apps, including Vlingo. Oddly, there is one app that does seem to work, TalkToMe by Vincenzo Gammieri. I do not understand why that works but nothing else. I would prefer a more sophisticated app.
I'm waiting for a call back from Sennheiser tech support but am not hopeful of a lot of sense from them.
Anyone any ideas?

Hi,
It's hard for me to even find a title that makes sense for this thread since I'm not a native English speaker. I struggled also on where to post this one, so i hope I did it right.
I've been searching for a better quality headset replacement for my Trophy since the HTC ones not only fall from one of my ears but the sound quality and isolation leaves a lot to be desired. That said, they at least have the functionality of controlling the volume and answer-end a call.
So actually I have 2 questions:
1) The HTC headset allows to answer/end a call plus volume control. Some Samsung focus users reported that they can skip tracks by double or triple pressing the answer button. Now I wonder if these functionalities are Hardware or OS dependant. Is there any documentation on what WP7 is capable of handling?
2) Does anyone know of a higher quality alternative to HTC's headset (wired), with at least the same functionality, but proved to work on HTC WP7 devices? (I've seen recommendations on Android HTCs but I rather not assume they work in WP7 devices, too much money to be wrong )
Thanks in advice
The best thing for you to do, would be to get a set of Bluetooth (A2DP) headphones. These will also include the microphone so you can listen to music, control the music player (skip track, play/pause, etc) and take calls.
With anything else except the HTC headset, I don't think you can do anything but listen to music.
EDIT: Another advantage of Bluetooth headset is universal compatibility- they'll work with just about any phone/computer with bluetooth
i would also recomend an bluehoot headset.
im using the nokia bluethoot stereo headset
http://www.pixmania.com/ch/de/2478328/art/nokia/bluetooth-stereo-headset.html
it works with calling, music scipping, play, pause
I'm using SE MW600 with mango and everything perfect,
able to control music, accept the incoming call, use voicecall, speed dial , display the caller-id and song name.
and the most important..
It's can use you own headphone.

Using the Nokia BH-503 and it works like a charm also.
For reference the headset I use is the Samsung SBH-650, it lets you use your own headphones too which is excellent for me as I wear glasses so the annoying neck-or-headband style that BT headphones normally are doesn't work for me
Thank you all for your replies.
I'm particularly interested in SE MW600 first and the Samsung SBH-650 as an alternative, because they allow you to use whatever headphones you like best. The first seems to have killer features, especially the display. The second seems to be cheaper, which is always good .
EDIT: Actually I've found the SE to be cheaper than the Samsung...

What WP7 device do you got?
Just reporting back that the SE MW600 works like a charm just as Perlnx described.
Thanks for the advice!
Hello all
So this is the problem. since I have tab 7" I use a headet a lot. But the audio in my headset is full of bass. It's like someone speaking to me true inside a deeeeep hole. just a lot of bass. So I was trying all kind of equalizers but non of them work on BT output. So question to all of you is there a app like that.
I am running overcome ROM 4.0.0. I tried voodoo app (works great on headphones and speakers but not on BT headset. Havent really test BT headphones A2DP since my battery is dead and I just can't find my cable.) I tried a lot of EQ apps from market but non of tham have effect on BT. I also tried that DSP manager but it does not work at all. I can change settings as much as I want but nothing actually happens.
I remember that old phones without any smart OS could do that. They had in call equalizer. Funny that such a smart OS like android doesn't have something like that.
So please help. I there is no such app someone should make it.
Thank you all
Sounds like the extra booming bass is a characteristic of your BT headset as the Galaxy tab is not the source. The Tab has one of the best audio chips. Did you try with another BT headset? If you tell us which brand headset you use you may get more feedback...

It could be. Headphone is SE HBH-608 and headset is nokia BH-503 but this Nokia is not tested since I lost my charging cable. Can't find it. After I test it I will know for sure. But it could be that is because of headphone.

Try This:

hi. thanks for suggestion. I tried that one and all other EQs. Non of them have effect on BT sound output. It does on a2dp BT output but that is only for listening to audio. Voice does not go via a2dp so it can't be modulated.

That's funny. I have used all EQ's with success through BT going to my BOSE Soundlink speakers.
No problem wit my BT platronics

volume+
try volume+ by meltus. it works bluetooth with my prius. it has bluetooth settings.
It was probably because of headphone. I tried headset and it is better but it also depends on other side and persons mic.
I think it is from the headset, because I had that problem earlier when I was using SE headset (I don't remember its model), but when I use SE MW600 the sound is so clear, btw if you have A2DP bt headset with 3.5 audio jack you can get different quality of sound if you only change the wired headset attached to it.

Hi all,
well, problem is there since I purchased Huawei S7 Slim. I've tried it with several BT headsets and always the same problem.
It's paired and connected pretty fast, but when in call, other party can't hear me well while he is talking. It seems like tablet can't send my voice until other (incoming) voice is on. When other party stops talking I can talk and sound is sent normaly.
I've noticed this to be even bigger problem when other party is in some noisy place (on the street, listening to the music etc) and all those noises are sent as a sound to me, so everything I say gets muted (or in best case choppy).
Anyway, I can hear other party good, there is no problem in opposite direction, just outgoing voice get muted.
When I switch to speaker everything is good.
I've read somewhere that this is problem in Froyo, but my question is if anybody else got this problem and if there is some kind of solution. Wired headset works fine but I would like to get rid of it and move to BT.
Headset is Nokia BH 105, but I've tried BH 104 as well. Both headsets works just fine with other phones, and it seems to support A2DP, HSP etc
One more thing... when I try to listen music no sound comes to BT headset...
Hope I was clear with question and looking forward to your responses. Thanks in advance.
I used to have a Galaxy SII that was able to connect to my car stereo through bluetooth with no issue.
With the Tmobile One S, often time my phone does not full connect it will do things like only connect for phone use but not for listening to music. I also used to be able to control moving the songs and I can no longer do that. I also cannot get the metadata to show up on the car display.
Many times a reboot will hook the audio up and I can listen to music, but I still can only go forwards and backwards by using the phone.
Is anyone else having issues like this?
Yep, I got the same issues....A2DP sync problem.
Does it sync your phone contacts too. If so change what contacts are synced only allow google contacts. This was a solution for a similar issue in another thread.
Sent back in time to find Marty.
No, I don't sync my contacts...worked perfectly with MyTouch4G...also noticed headset droid and jays headset control take away Bluetooth control capability...anyone know a work around besides disabling?
Same issue here with my bluetooth headset (Cardo scala rider G4) and HTC One X.
Since installing Jays headset control for my Jays One+ (which is a one-button wired headset) my bluetooth headset control fails big time. I can only use my headset play functionality and after disconnecting the headset the music player starts playing music again within a couple of minutes.
I'll try to disable Jays headset control and let you know if this resolves my bluetooth problems.
how do/when do you select which contacts to send to headset? Didn't see an option for this in Bluetooth settings.
I received the Tmobile update today and I still have the issue of the phone not transmitting the metadata to my radio. Interestingly enough when I stream Pandora the data from pandora shows on my radio display.
Do any of you all know of a ROM that will allow the metadata to be sent from my phone to the radio?
This is the only thing that really annoys me about this phone. Thinking of selling it when the SIII comes out.
I own an ASUS Zenpad 370 CG phablet and a bluetooth headset Plantronics Voyager Legend. Android version is 5.0.2.
Here is my problem:
Earlier I was using this bluetooth with Samsung Galaxy SIII. The voice quality was great at both ends. But when I switched to Zenpad, I started hearing complaints from those with whom I was talking. I could hear them alright, but they complained of unclear sound.
I did the check by being at the other end. My wife called me, using the bluetooth, from SIII first and then from Zenpad. SIII sound was good, but Zenpad sound is faint. If she spoke up, I could hear her well. But at normal level of speech, I needed to strain my ear.
I checked bluetooth with Easy Voice Recorder and Skype. When I record with bluetooth on Easy Voice Recorder (Paid app), the voice is faint. But this app has a mic boost for bluetooth. When I boosted the mic, the sound came out loud enough and audio quality is also very good.
When I use bluetooth with Skype (Echo / sound testing service), my own voice (through bluetooth) played back to me is very clear.
I had one more interesting observation. I was talking to someone and needed to record the call. While talking to her, the sound quality at both ends wasn't great, but we could talk. But when I played back the recording, the sound quality of both of us was much better.
To me it seems that Zenpad's voice caller is somehow inferior to that in Samsung Galaxy SIII. I looked for bluetooth mic booster for voice calls. But there seems to be none such. I tried using other caller apps, but they also seem to use my built in app.
It seems that if I can somehow manipulate some settings in my caller app, or I can completely replace it with another caller app, I should be able to get very clear voice quality in Zenpad, like SIII.
What does the developer community here think? And what suggestion does it have, if any?
