Hi,
I've just received a Jabra BT800 off Ebay. There's no reaction when charging starts and it won't turn on. So far it's been charging about an hour. Does anyone know if this is normal? I'm hoping there's a need for a long initial charge - but I would expect it to at least turn on by now. Any ideas? Jabra support aren't answering the phone.

Jabra said 2 hours is the normal initial charge period, but suggested I leave it overnight because the battery might have 'gone to sleep'!
I'm surprised to say that after being left to charge for the best bit of two days.... my bt800 really did 'wake up'! It now works fine!

It should not take that long. Consider returning it for replacement or refund.
GET RID, I got one and they are worse BT I ever used. It will fall to bit's in a week. The sound rubbish and so is the mic.
I concur with jowett69. Jabra should be a shame of themselves for creating this piece of junk!!!!

WHAT:
I'm giving away my BT200 Freespeak headset. This is the Bluetooth set I used when I still had my XDA1 (ages upon ages ago). Just to give you a short description; this headset can be used for non-blue tooth phones. All you have to do is plug in the converter (which also acts as the cradle and charger) to your phone (like an XDA1), pair the headset and there you go.
I'm giving away the following:
1 BT200 Headset
1 Charger/Bluetooth Adaptor/Headset Cradle
1 Charger for use in Asia
1 Charger for use in the US
1 Original Box
1 Original Plastic Tray for the items above
WHY:
The reason I'm giving this away is that some time ago a buddy of mine visted with his 9-year old kid. We left him playing around the garden with our dogs; what I didn't know is that he was able to get a hold of my Jabra BT200 unit. He basically used a black marker to color the blue surface of the headset. It's still working, the only problem is that whenever I put it on my ear the next time I take it off there's now a small black line on my face (because of the pentel marker). I've used cotton and a very light form of paint thinner to remove the black color. It's still there and sometimes when I wear the unit it still leaves a black line on the side of my face.
Well, it was a good excuse to buy a new headset; since then I've been using the O2 clip on BT piece. I checked the unit and it's still in A-OK condition. The charger still works and the blue light on the cradle works when plugged in. The headset still pairs well with the cradle AND my XDA2. In other words, with the exception of the black color; the headset is in perfect condition.
With this, all I ask is that whoever wants it please pay for shipping. I checked with the post and it costs only 20 USD. Should it be different I will shoulder the rest.
OR: If no one is interested then I'd appreciate it if you can offer some advice as to what kind of solution I can use to remove the black marker.
Here are some pics for your reference. Again, this has NO catch whatsoever. I won't even be posting this in eBay because I think it's a total waste of time. I won't even start any bidding wars here in the forum. 20 bucks for shipping, that's all I ask. Please PM me if you're interested. The first one to do this gets the unit/set. I have a Paypal account so there's no problem with sending payments. Please note that today's a Friday and I don't check my emails in the weekend. I get back to the office on Monday and from there if anyone's interested I'll respond immediately.
Cheers

If you still have it, i would glady take is of your hands
I'm still tampering with BT, and this would be an ideal solution to hack araound without damaging anything (that's not allready damaged
I have just bought my headphones. The problem is that the one headphone doesn't work. At first it was perfect. hte worked great. I used them while charging with the cable. Then when they got charged I connect them to my pc with the DC800. But then I had the problem with the one headphone. Only one of both had bass, the I tried to but it in my pc with the jack connector and now only the one works. Help me.
PLEASE. How to solv my problem?
Oh and when I try to turn on my headphones there is really weak light. Not like before strong light.
But when I put them to charge the light is strong. And the headphones are charged before 2 hours for first time.
Anyone to know what's the problem with my f*cking headphones.
It sucks.
Dear All,
I have resisted buying one of these as XDAs' always seemed to have such bad battery drain with BT turned on. However with the new UK laws I feel it is time to invest.
Any recomendations on compatible units are welcome.
Cheers

I've tested two different motorola BT headsets with my universal, the first one (it is the one i use normally) is a H500, very small, works fine, sounds good, voice dial works ok.
The second one is a HS801 (I even sold one to a friend who has its own universal), works ok also, better reception than my H500, longer than my H500 and moded better with our T-Mobile unis (grey ones).
About battery drain, I must admit that the universal is not the best PDA for battery lasting, but it's ok for my, 4 days with a single full charge (normal use, not too many phone calls), it's not as good as my ex-PDA (Ipaq 6340), but's fine.
RE
I'm using the SAMSUNG WEP200
Clear sound on both sender and receiver ends
I bought the cheapest "Veho" from http://www.scan.co.uk/ and it seems to work fine. Under £10 too when I bought it. At the same time, I bought the solar-charged GPS unit and that's quite happy with my XDA Exec too.

BT320S
Hi,
I am using the Jabra BT320S now for a couple of weeks and it performs well in regard. Have some stops sometimes but it is probably due to the way i use it now: MDA in vest and headset sender in vest.
Much better than the BT620S i tried once and had to bring back to the shop.
hi, i just got a Jabra BT800, Bluetooth headset from my friend. but i tried to charge the headset (i plugged the AC adapter to the headset for about 4 hour) but i don't know why it always indicates that the battery is full. when i unplugged the AC adapter and then i try to switch it on, but it still off ( as if there is no power).
is there any one who experience the same thing about this headset?
is there anyone who successfully changed the battery of this headset? if yes, please assist me on how to change the battery, and where to buy the battery for this headset.
thank you
My touch pro 2 first started this when I had lots of cab themes like changing the icons and clock. I was listening to music when it started to redial the last person I rang. I thought it was a cab iusse which did this.
So I removed them all and reset it to factory settings.
Its done it about another 5 times since then but not listening to music, while it was sitting on a table.
It was locked with the screen turned off then just started trying to ring the last person I called.
any help from you smart people.
And yes I did do a search on here first

Does your device only makes these calls when connected to a headset?
I previously bought a cheap headset with 3.5mm headphone adapter. It had a button on it to answer calls. Apparently something was wrong with the button since my device kept thinking the button is constantly being pressed. 2 quick presses on the button instructs the device to dial the last called contact.
My problem went away after I replaced the headset (with another cheap headset albeit!)
I used mine alot as a mp3 so it could be that but my cheap adaptor does not have a redial button like yours. And it did it with a cabled adaptor and one which has no cable. I got mine from ebay those were the only two models i found and I have them both but it did it when I have it pluged into my car charger too.
but I cant think if its done it when its not pluged into anything hmmm
My money is on your (non-HTC-approved )3.5mm adapter and your car charger being the culprit. Somehow, they are instructing your device to dial your last contact.
I'm havning the same problems recently with my TP2.
It *ONLY* happens in my car, when I have it connected to a 3-in-1 mini-usb => headphones/charger adapter. It has no buttons at all, just a passive converter.
It might have to do with the adapater, or maybe with my cars builtin BT functionality. It also only happens if I physically move the phone and put it back next to me or pick it up.

I've had something similar happen with a broken adapter. It was acting like I was pressing the redial button, replacing the adapter stopped the problem.
Also, I've seen the TP2 act strangely near strong magnets. I can unlock mine using the clip on my (now no longer used) case without touching the phone. I also was able to get the camera to start once, I bet I could have caused a redial if I wanted to try.
any ideas of where to get an offical one from? Ive never seen one.

Check this out. But I've seen it as cheap as about 90 HKD (roughly 7 GBP) in stores.
I've actually experienced the same thing but with one difference: I was using a bluetooth stereo headset (Motorola HT 820 to be exact). Any ideas?
oh and when I say car charger I mean a Venturi mini with the offical data cable I got with the phone. Which is conected up by... bluetooth.
This is werid
Okay, seems that my case is the same and the suggested solutions don't really apply in your case. Any ideas everyone?

Maybe Bluetooth is the problem then.
I might check and try to reproduce the problem the next time I'm stuck in traffic again
Will try to see if it's a BT or converter problem.
