Sony Ericsson Bluetooth Stereo Headset HBH-DS970

Any good with the trinity?
Soes the track title / caller ID display?
Any tweaks to make it better?
I'm on the verge of buying but unsure of how good it is...

I have them, and they work very well, caller id is shown, but only the number, not your actual contact name, and when you play music no info is displayed, too bad, i would have loved these extra functionalites, but apparently they are not supported, but its still a great headset, specially if you have a pc with bluetooth and you can have it paired with the pc and the mobile at the same time!

Did you try JETware Hands-free Extension for Windows Mobile phones ( http://www.jetwaremobile.com/ )? It SHOULD work.

HTC P3600 and Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 Problem
I just purchased the DS970 and when I try to listen to music or use skype, it seems to skip or audio breaks up every 3 seconds. Anyone experienced this? If anyone can help, please post.

yes, but does it play music well?

yes it plays music sound but when i make a call it switch on the speaker of the phone.

Hello, mine is working fine with phone (music re-start after a phone call), I can use all functionnality of this device (except forward and backward for music) but ther is too much "crush" when I listen to music (small "hoels" in the music); it seems to be due to A2DP...

Bcross white, I get the same problem with the Motorola Sound pilot S705. when playing a music every 3s it cut for ~1s. So I can't listen the music.
Update : After reset it is working fine. I was wondering if it was not because I was sync over BT at the same time. My only last pb with a2dp is that the sound is bad and I'm still trying to enhance it.

BEWARE of Chinese-made copies of SE headsets which are all over eBay right now. They are very good copies but exhibit audio problems which the REAL versions don't.

Take my advice, never buy anything from a Hong-Kong/Taiwan/China/any Asian country seller

Thanks, but it's too late now. I did it cause this headset was sold for more than 100 € here in Croatia. Haven't received it yet, maybe it will turn up to be quite good after all, who knows...

I bought 1 of the Chinese version and it's not too bad... saves a lot of money
If you turn on the stereo function (Change the registry), then it skips every 30 secs, legit or not it still does it.
I leave it to mono, to me, the music is fine. Not the greatest but not too bad. Remote control works with Pocket Player n plugins (play/pause, skip/back, answer/reject calls, volume up/down)
Really isn't too bad, hehe
I still can't get caller name to display though

[Q] FM Radio without headset on Android.

Hi,
I own a GT540 on Android 2.1.
I was wondering if it's possible use the FM radio without headset? It appears, on Windows Mobile, you can tweak the registry to allow this. Is there's a software level solution to make FM Radio work without headset on Android?
Yes, I'm aware that headset acts as an antenna and you need it to get a good reception. But, at times, it would be convenient to use the FM Radio without headset even if the signal is weak.
It's also possible to insert a fake plug to make it appear that a headset is present but am looking for a software solution.

On my Huawei U8110 it is enough to put in just jack, without any cables ... it works very well

Data is expensive here and wifi can taken granted only at home/school/office.

yes, Data is expensive. have been searching the same for awhile. no clue.
My previous Wm6.5(Aer S200) does the job.
still looking and waiting for solution

Hmm, I will try stalking AOSP when I get the time.

The app would have to support this, although hypothetically the system software could be modified to fool the app. Or if you could somehow crash or otherwise disable the code that detects headphone jack insertion events that could work.
I HAVE found this annoying with the HTC app. I've developed an FM app that doesn't have this restriction. See my sig for details.
On my HTC Legend I can receive some strong stations OK with no antenna. My HTC Desire HD does much better with no antenna.

FM radio and sampling.
This kind of post makes me wonder if sampling the mic input in some non periodic (not at an exact frequency) rate, and if the sample and hold before the ADC works fast enough, that the FM band maybe decoded by the correlation of multiple sample rates. For those without an FM radio. Exact timing of the sampling would be critical, so not sure if it could work on some devices. But anyhow, probly too much low pass on the mic input.

I tried your app but it doesn't work on my phone. Perhaps, the chipset is not supported? Do you have any idea where the trigger for headset is?

I found it possible on my Galaxy Mini w cyanogen mod on Spirit Radio app. Signal was weak, but with bluetooth enabled it works perfectly. Now I want to have it with standard firmware, but it's impossible, because sound is going off after turning bluetooth on.

try this
this is spirit fm radio

i cant find singal...:/ but app is good

I found a very simple way to do this (at least on Sony Xperia with Android 6.0.1). Connect the headphones, open the stock radio app, tune to the frequency, then go to the Settings>Apps>FM Radio and click "Force Stop". Now you can unplug the headphones, the radio won't stop playing. The only problem with this is that you need to connect headphones to change the frequency.

Where to get app?

car bluetooth issues.

I'm wondering if anyone has problems with their car kit and xz premium.
I had a nexus 5X which always worked flawlessly regardless of android version or rom.
My car only allows headset connectivity, no stereo audio for music, just calls.
So here's the problem, since having the Sony I can make calls fine but incoming calls are troublesome.
I have to answer the call (car or phone controls) then switch from bluetooth to speaker (car keeps ringing) then answer again using the car controls, then swap speaker to Bluetooth on the handset. Then it stops ringing (car not handset) and the audio is routed correctly.
Any one have the same or found a fix?

I have never had any issue with the XZP for handling BT calls, switching music or any other apps in the Car. The only issue, though minor, is once in a while the Song info doesn't come in my car display.

Bluetooth music did not work in latest BMW 530i and Sony xz premium.
Sony xz worked good in the same car.
there is definitely something going on with Bluetooth and XZ premium

I haven't had any issues, I have been using it for both calls and music in my car and with various headsets without a problem. My wife has the phone too and hasn't had any problems with Bluetooth, connecting to either of our cars for calls and music.

My Mercedes BT media interface will freeze BT searching in XZP and stream doesn't work at all.

On my Kenwood unit, after pairing and allowing contacts share, some show up ok but I also have the majority showing name as blank and (No Number).

There are some Bluetooth issues and it seems to be the phone. Had mine a week and a few times its not auto paired and on a few other occasions when playing music the track names are not updating on the car display. Never happened on my S6 with Nougat.
Bluetooth looks massively updated in Android O, hope Sony gets us the update quickly.

This is the problem I have. Got the latest 420d and the phone section works appart from no phone book access. No incoming call Ringtones. No connected drive app support and you cant play music from the phone using Bluetooth

Bluetooth issues have been bothering me since I upgraded from Xperia Z3 to XZ Premium. I have an android car head unit and the Z3 worked flawlessly for calls and media audio but the XZP will only give me media audio no matter what I try.

Bloody annoying or what?

I have the issue with my (both new) xz premium & renault megane. Phone connects to media settings, but not the phone settings then approx 3 mins later disconnects everything. It also won't show any album artwork/artist info. I hope Sony fix this soon as I'm about to scream.

Do the issues persist after the last updates? I plan to buy a XZP but I need bluetooth in my car so it will definitely guide my choice!

Hi. My XZP has updated to android 8 and now the Bluetooth works as expected ?

Oreo did not bring any change the problems persist

This did the trick for me: changed to BT AVRCP Ver 1.5
Spotify BT integration: Xperia XZ Premium G8141 (8.0.0 build 47.1.A.12.75) - BMW330e 2017
1. Enable developer mode:
system - about phone - build number - tap 7 times at "build number"
2. Set Bluetooth AVRCP to ver 1.5:
system - developer options - Bluetooth AVRCP Version - select "AVRCP 1.5"
3. Delete existing BT pairing and make a new one
Done!

Bluetooth audio stuttering in car

Hi everyone,
when I'm playing music in the car by bluetooth, the music stutters every 10-30 secs for a short time (0,5s or something). I tried this with Spotify and Deezer. It also occurs when the display is on and the phone is charging. Am I the only one with this problem?
What I tried to solve this:
- allow high power consumption in background for Spotify (and Deezer when I had it)
- clear cache of bluetooth apps
- reinstall spotify
- uninstall Vivo apps like shown in this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/nex/how-to/guide-vivo-nex-s-apps-safe-to-uninstall-t3813308
Nothing helped.
I had the same issue with a LG G3, but never with a Nexus or a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
I think there is a solution for the problem with LG phones. You have to ignore optimizations for the bluetooth apps like shown here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4_hD1rEbRE
But I cant find this option at the Vivo Nex.
Thanks for helping.

Sometimes the problem is not the software nor the firmware but the silicon. It just happens! I've been a victim.

I dont use a case and also tried have it laying on the passenger seat. It's always the same in the car.
But it does not happen with my bluetooth headphones (Bose), so it might have to do something with compatibility, bluetooth codec etc?
I've tried to change the setting in the developer options, but when I reconnect with the car it always swaps back to the old/default options. Dont know if this is the right way to change this settings...

See screenshot

The setting the YouTube video shows is located in Settings\Battery\High background power consumption. Look for your app and select. Keep us informed of the outcome. Also, close all apps before you run your music streaming app. Turn off WiFi.

I did. But on the Nex S you cant do this setting for system apps like Bluetooth. Only for installed apps, like in this case Spotify.
WiFi was off, all other apps were closed.

Go to your friend's car and pair your device to his car radio Bluetooth. If no problem, then it could be your car radio Bluetooth compatibility. If you can duplicate what you want to do on another car radio with no problem, then you're halfway there.

Did not try this yet.
But the stutter happens only in the car and only with the Nex, not with the Samsung S7 Edge. Also when the music is downloaded. But no problem with the Nex and other bluetooth music boxes, headphones etc.
Could I try some kind of logging the BT communication to find out what disturbs the music transfer?
Is there a command for logcat that only observes the BT communication?

Don't know about logging Bluetooth. Perhaps someone here can help with that. Look in the Play Store for an app than can do that.

Yes, this is happening to me too. The car is a 2013 Kia Sportage if that helps.
It's happening to me every couple of minutes for 10 to 15 seconds, and is really annoying. I haven't tried anything yet.

I connect my NEX-S to my Pioneer aftermarket car radio via Bluetooth for Amazon Music and have no problems. Everything flows smoothly. I haven't made any changes to my Bluetooth settings.

It works fine in my girlfriend's 2013 Ford Fiesta, so it's just my car that's the problem. Has anyone had any joy with this?

It's been a couple of months, so I was wondering whether anyone else had experienced this.

Still no-one? It's doing my head in!

Works great for me in an Skoda Octavia

Works as intended with a 2011 BMW. Only issue I have is that the nex seems to kill the music app service in the background after some time in pause and so the radio cannot call the play function again. I then have to reopen the app (even though allowed for high consumption and locking it in recent apps) and play 'manually'.

Just got your Nokia 7.2? Common bugs and fixes!

If you got the Nokia 7.2 recently and have some bugs that need to be fixed, please mention them on this thread so that other users can make use of it as well!
COMMON BUGS AND FIXES
1. "Hey Google" doesn't work, Google keeps crashing/ not responding.
FIX:
Go to Google App -> Clear cache and app data. This should reset it, and if all goes well, your phone should now have a proper Google Assistant. (Believed to have been caused by improper Google app being shipped by HMD)
2. Dark mode for certain apps and system can be enabled by going to Settings -> About phone->Tap on "Build Number" until Developer options are unlocked
Developer options (under Advanced section in system)-> Night Mode -> Always on.
Afterwards, Instagram will have dark mode enabled by default.

Reserved #1

Reserved #2

Reserved #3

The Night mode option in the stock camera app takes less clear and darker pictures than the regular photo mode. Both modes cannot match the Pixel's camera in terms of clarity and brightness in low light.
The Assistant page does not allow another assistant to be selected. Even after installing, picking and confirming an alternate assistant, Google Assistant remains selected as the default assistant.

Andoid Auto Keeps Crashing the phone
USB C car charger keeps crashing the phone
bluetooth volume is terrible
Google assistant doesn't work... Have to repeat 'hey google' dozens of times to get it to work

There might be an issue with your device because the assistant is working fine for me. Try the speaker in other applications.
