what do u think about Sony Bluetooth Headset HBH-35 and...

im thinking to buy a bt headset
i dont know what to choose
hbh-35
hbh-65
nokia hdw
can anyone tell me what do u think to choose
or there is another choice that i didnt think about ?
thanks very much

I use an Ericsson HBH 20. It is quite good as I hate having things hanging from my ear. It also supports handsfree answering, although not handsfree dialing.

Have used the HBH 35 and 65 with my XDAII and they both work perfectly. However, the 65 has an amazingly short batterly life unlike the 35 which goes on and on for a few days. The 65 dies out by the evening under heavy usage though that never happened with the 35. If you don't mind the slightly larger 35, I would go for that one. Cheers.

what would u choose ... 1 2 3

I have now a SE HBH 35, I had a HBH 30 and now a 35.... They both work flawlessly...
BUT...
Be aware:
1.- they are expensive.
2.- There is NOT such a thing to be called "custommer support", Sony Ericsson does NOT know the meaning of such words....
3.- Consider them "dispossable" gadgets, if you broke Anything...(I did on my 30 model) the game is over: no support, no spare parts, NOTHING AT ALL
They requested TWICE the selling price for a repair, this is crazy!
:evil:

but what do u think is the best to choose
the bt headset on ear or

Qtek BT headset
I heard today from Dangaard that a BT headset with qtek brand will be realised soon.
It will be compatible with qtek 2020 100%.
I have Jabra BT 200 now, but sometimes it disconnects.
I think I'll wait for qtek BT headset.

I used the the following:
HBH 65 - very poor - wouldn't recomend. poor battery and low volume
HBH 30 - Great unit
Motorola HS810 - OK.
HBH 35 - The BEST !!!!

i'm using an HBH-35
no problems, great bat. life.
only issue is not being able 2 tranfer call 2 headset if headset was turned on after a call is received.
transferring calls between imate & HBH-35 worked flawlessly as long as the HBH was on b4 a call was received.

XDA II with HBH30
I now have a HBH30 and i see that people get them to work with there XDA2 , but i'm having trouble with it... can't get the damn thing working...
please help ! :shock:

finally it works !....didn't know that u have to enable the headset mode in today screen menu ...... i thought it was automatically on enabled...but all the time it was disabled...but now i'm a happy man !

Just upgraded to A TC--problem and a couple questions..

I just got a brand new crusie and I love this thing. I had a Tilt, then the origianl 3450 Touch and now the crusie.
I've got it all set up and it seems to be working great on my AT&T network. modded someof my setting with cabs/ htc customiser.
The only problem that is KILLING me is the bluetooth performance is HORRIBLE. Both with my Motorola stereo S9 headset and my Jabra XJ10. The stereo moto set break in and out if I move a little or put the phone in my pocket. If it's right next to me not moving it's ok. If i run with it in my pocket, NO chance!
The regular jabra works ok with the TC right next to me as well, but if I walk even 15 feet away it just breaks up.
Both of these worked GREAT on my touch?
I remember when I had my Tilt there was a reg edit and an option in the Kaiser tweak for bluetooth performance. Has anyone had any problems with BT performance?? Any way I can Fix this????
Also, I'm either in E, G or H. Att here in chicago has a huge 3G network that supports HSPDA. I assume E is edge. Is G 3G or GPRS?? When my TC is in H is that the 3G or HSPDA? I don't see a 3G symbol?
I really an very impressed with the crusie, but REALLY need to figure out the BT issue as I use my jabra and moto S9 EVERYDAY...
Any help would be highly appreciated!!

You have installed the bluetooth hot fixes from htc.com?

I installed both the BT hot fix cabs.. The problems in the hot fixes (when the device goes into sleep mode) etc is not what I am experiencing but I tried them anyhow.
If I remember in the kaiser tweak there was some setting for bluetooth band width for performance?? Can we use the kaiser tweak with the TC? I assume not.
Is there a value in the reg that can be editing for this???
thanks again

FYI -- I have the same issue with my S9's. They worked great with my Touch, my Shadow, and my Dash but they work awful with the Touch Cruise. You pretty much have to hold the device up, near your head, to get a constant connection. My Plantronic 855's work fine though. Given that it's S9-specific, I don't think you'll find a registry tweak to fix it, though I could be wrong. If I had to guess, I'd say it's something that needs fixing with the S9's, not the Cruise -- wish they'd made them firmware upgradeable

Fixing Polaris choppy bluetooth stereo
I am using an O2 XDA Orbit 2 which is the UK O2 networks variant of the Polaris/Touch Cruise. I experienced the exact same problem with choppy stereo bluetooth sound on a pair of Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 headphones (which performed perfectly with my original HTC Touch). I performed the following registry tweaks and this seemed to improve performance significantly:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings :
Name: UseJointStereo
Value (DWORD): 1
Delete these two key/values
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings:
- BitPool
- MaxSupportedBitPool

I will give that a shot and I'll let you know.. What is the bit pool and the max??

Ok---
Under my settings, the use jointstereo DWORD value is already 1? what was yours?
should I still delete maxsupported and bitpool completely? any idea of what those do??

You want to turn joint stereo off, and that would be changing the number from a 1 to a 0. That won't help with distance, but it will improve the sound quality considerably. It's pretty much the same with any WinMo device -- for some reason joint stereo is turned on as a default. I returned a lot of stereo bluetooth headphones before I found this setting. I thought they were all crap, turned out to be the setting. If you Google 'bluetooth' 'joint stereo' you'll find info on how the setting degrades sound quality.
It's a shame this is turned on by default, the average user will never be poking around in their registries and wouldn't have a clue as to why stereo bluetooth on their WinMo device sounds so bad.
I've not changed the other settings the post mentioned though, if you do let us know how it worked out. Personally, I've switched to wired earbuds -- the best sound quality of all

UseJointStereo is set to 1 (this was the default setting); I don't actually know what the other two key/value pairs function is. I did some google research on choppy bluetooth stereo sound a while back after purchasing my XDA Orbit 2 and experiencing the terrible bluetooth performance. Apparently, the effect of making the changes I suggested is to improve the overall quality of the audio and reduce the 'choppiness' (intermittent signal connection/disconnections).
Both BitPool and MaxSupportedBitPool should be deleted (i.e. both key name and value) for the full effect of this tweak.
For more information on these registry keys just google BitPool, MaxSupportedBitPool, usejointstereo and polaris (all in the same search query).

I use sony bluetooth dr-bt21g stereo headphone. Installed hotfix and done reg tweaks. If i put my phone in my pocket it breaks up really bad. If i have my phone next me; amazing sound.
i think moral of the story, if ur on a plane or in the house then bluetooth headphones are good. If ur out washing the car, jogging or even walking they are crap so i have to revert back to wired ones

But I'm searching high and low to see if there is a fix for this. I cant believe that the Athena had very decent bluetooth connection. No problems at all. But switching over to Polars, I have to consider giving up my bluetooth headset. That aint good.
Is it an hardware problem? Is it possible the device is to small? I dont know
I hope they fix this!!!!

i dont know! it is bloody annoying when i paid over 50£ for my headphones. I tested in on my imate jamin (now with a2dp) and its the same so i dont think its the cruise. I just think bluetooth has not evolved enough yet, just a thought tho and i will test, wonder if the wifi conection interferes with bluetooth signal?

OOOOOHH.. Good insight timmymarsh. I havent even test thoroughly the wifi.
Good thinking buddy, I'm going to try that...turning off wifi and turning on and see if there is any difference!!!
BTW...thats good to know that it might not be the TC. I read somewhere on the Polaris thread that the bluetooth setting on this phone were suppose to be set up for newer bluetooth earpieces.....I dont know how true that is!!!!

I have never had an issue with bluetooth or wifi on my TC But I never have both on at once, If I am using bluetooth, wifi is turned off and vice versa. In the past I have had really big issues using lets say ericcson phones with moto headsets but if I upgraded the headset to the latest firmware they worked fine. I really do think that the issue is the headset and not the phone.

mm i really should learn not to post after drinking wine hence removed

Bizzare test....
I havent tested properly turning wifi off when bluetooth headset on yet, but yesterday i was washing my car in trousers that had no pockets, so i stuck my phone down my pants against my ass (ha ha). Reception was brilliant when i was moving around; previously when i had put my device in my trouser pocket the reception was terrible. I guess my body was acting as an ariel extending or improving the bluetooth signal hence the good reception.
Extreme i know, but at least you next have a valid excuse when someone says "is that something in your pocket or are you just pleased to see me......."

I did eventually test the bluetooth signal and quality with both wifi on and off and both my polaris and prophet.
With wifi on the signal was terrible when deivce was in my pocket, with wifi switched off the signal was good. The signal only started breaking up when with wifi was swtiched on and searching for an access point.
I now only use a2dp with wifi switched off. Im a happy bunny. btw my prophet never signal never broke once when jigging around the room, my polaris did a lil bit even with the wifi off, but there was a marked difference!!

Glad that worked out for you. For me, WiFi had no effect at all, on or off, the signal with S9's are just as bad and the Plantronic 855's just as good.

Headset bluetooth connection problem

Hi friends, i bought yesterday a bluetooth samsung hm1500 headset (2.1 bt + edr)
http://www.mytrendyphone.com/shop/samsung-hm1500-bluetooth-27371p.html
and i can't connect with tg01. The phone cannot detect it. I tried everything for hours , tried with all available roms but still nothing.
Can anyone help please ?

Use the traditional problem solving procedure
1) Test your new headset with another phone (friend, relative....)
2) Test your TG01 with another Bluetooth device
Good luck! Tell us the results

Motorola are the best
Bluetooth headphones are real fussy. Motorola's pretty much work with everything I've found.

Thanks friends for the replies, i send it back, doa, i tried with 3 other mobile phones and nothing with noone conected only with my laptop was possible to connect, very special bluetooth.

Has anyone found a bluetooth headset that one can have a decent conversation with others without having problems of not being heard loudly? I have two headsets, a cheap ebay hong-kong one and a Nokia BH-215. People complain hearing me very low with both. If i get away from the phone but within the bt radius things get even worse and don't get better even if i get close to the phone again. I think it's because of the phone and not the headset.

Did you try SRS 3 cabs install?

No but i used it once and i remeber that it messed up my bt connection. But that was back in 6.5.x rom. Maybe i''l give it a shot now that i'm on 6.1.

Kevin i bought one but still connection tends to lose sound quality with too much "noise garbage" in it. Can you tell me with which radio have you been using it with? Is it the 1600 of the rom in your signature?
Thanx

Hi Jonous,
I'm using it with the other radio - what was effectively the 'Italian' stock radio 0300.76
It's difficult to compare notes with this sort of thing remotely... but I'd confrm that there is 'some' degree of background noise present even on this high-end BT headset device when compared direct to a hard wired uUSB connection (into the same earphones - per my sig). Like any audio device, I'd recommend keeping the volume level on any element in the chain to < 60% in order to keep noise down.
DEspite the above, I'd regard the MW600 as a quite capable piece of kit in conjunction with the TG01 giving extra flexibility - but it is a trade-off to some extent with quality.

Hehe i feel like an idiot, i enbarked on an endless journey of flashing and flashing different radios and trying out the sound quality of each one cause bt headset is very important for me. When i got to 0300.76 suddenly sound was crystal clear! On the 1st test call. On the second call i was bearly heard, crappy sound again. Then it it struck to me...I remembered that sometimes when you press the answer call button of the headset the sound is transfered to the phone...I thought "no it can't be...if this is it i'm a real idiot!!!" And yes, when i pressed the button again sound was transfered to the headset and sound was magnificent! So the lousy sound i got with all other roms was because i was trying to be heard through the phone's micrphone which was some 2-3 away from me hahaha so other end of line heard little or nothing.
Well enough said, this headset is brilliant, loud n clear sound, caller id, fm radio everything! well almost, i wish it had vibration too but don't care, i'm happy with my buy! Thanks again

You are most welcome - I'm delighted you are up and running and happy with the S-E MW600 headset. There are so many variables with these things as well as the subjective element wjhen it comes to perceived audio quality that it is difficult to translate one person's experience to another. Great news

the Sony MW600 is really great !
But don´t forget to increase the bitrate of the streaming codec.
I modified/added this values in HLKM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings
BitPool 65
MinSupportedBitPool 65
MaxSupportedBitpool 65
SampleRate 48000
SubBands 8
Blocks 16
Allocation 1
UseJointStereo 1
Unfortunately Track names are not submitted like with SE or some HTC phones

Hi Friends!!!
I have also the same problem with a BT car.
And the problem is like it´s been described (sound very loud in the microphone)....
I remember that in my I780, I changed some settings (don´t remember if it was in Hardware or registry).
Anyone had a solution?

[Q] PHABLET used as a Phone..... What say you ?

I'm looking at upgrading to a Phablet (screen size 5.5"+) here real soon.
What Phablets do you recommend ?
How practical is it to use as a phone using Bluetooth ?
Any other comments ?

I used a Xperia Z Ultra and I really liked the device. However, it was not really practical for me to use it as a phone, and I got tired of charging and carrying around a bluetooth headset. I never liked using a bluetooth headset anyway.
What I did for a while, which was as cheap as using a bluetooth headset, was actually this:
1 - Bought a used small android phone in working condition (Xperia Tipo) for about $20.
2 - Put my SIM card in that phone and turned on wifi tethering.
3 - Used my Z Ultra for all my data and gaming needs via the created wifi.
4 - Used the Xperia Tipo to handle calls and SMS only and nothing else.
Charging an additional device was a headache though so I stopped doing this after a few months...

BLE Heart rate can't connect

Hello everybody,
I have a big problem, a generic heart rate monitor (BLE) can't be used with my Xperia Z3, the phone itself manages to connect it but I am not able to use it in any app. The funny things is that it worked flawlessly with Z1 compact 2 months ago. Runtastic and Endomondo are the apps which I am using. Also, the heart rate monitor works without issues on iPhone 5.
Does anyone have the same problem?

Bump!

Hello,
I have similar problem with Xperia Z2, programs see my bluetooth smart belt but I don't get heart rate. But on Nexus 5 the belt seems to work.

+1 here. Generic BLE HR monitor works flawlessly with my friend's iphone 6 but not with my nexus 5. Tried a hell of apps like endomondo, runtastic, micoach etc. and tested with a bunch of android devices too with no sign of my heart. Think it is about android.

Probably the problem is with the version of android, both on Z1C and Z3 BLE worked on 4.4.
