I have one with your following stuff (sony-ericsson hbh 660), but it's useless: jasjar keeps turning bluetooth off. Wait for a fix.

actually i'm quite surprised to know the fact htat HBH-660 is having 'contact name' functionality as this is no where mentioned in sony ericsson site , atleast i couldn't find one...
as i'm planning to buy HBH-660 for my exec, could any of you share your experience specifically with exec pls?
Thanx
Caller name with my sony-ericsson z600.
Caller number with my jasjar.
I have a "Plantronics Discovery 640"
its ultra light weight (9g)
has voice dialing
but no display
vibrate alert (but only in carrying bag)
00riddler
flamingo!!!
it's light .. no hooks... nice and comfortable fit.
no display.
has voice dialing.
To me, a nice fit is important. You dont want to always check to ensure the headset is tight and etc... and i hate headset w hooks... it feels painful after awhile.
HBH 662
caller display (number not name)
voice dialing
but occasionally drops bluetooth connection.
This is the one that i will be purchasing very soon.This is the Jabra BT-800
image is attatched.This earpiece has caller id ,speaker phone,accept/decline phone calls as well.I will post a snipet of one of the several reviews that i have read.If you want a place to purchase it outright without a good discount i can refer links in this post-if this is not against the rules

Functions at your fingertips
All the features and operations you're so familiar with on your mobile, are now available from the headset itself. Using just four controls - the mute button, jog wheel, 'Answer' and 'End' buttons - accessing the functionality you need is easy and natural. For example, the jog wheel - used for scrolling through menu functions in standby mode - becomes the volume control during a call. Soon it'll be second nature.
Blue backlit screen
Unique to the BT800 is the blue backlit LCD display, which shows 'Caller ID' on incoming calls so you know who's calling - no need to look at your phone. You can also use it to view the phone's call list and menu options.
Digital Signal Processing
The BT800's unique Digital Signal Processing (DSP) means that, whatever the environment, you are assured of optimum audio quality. DSP's automatic volume control compensates for noisy surroundings by increasing the listening level accordingly and noise cancellation technology means that the incoming caller can hear you more clearly.
'Vibrate alert' or favorite ring tone
The BT800's call vibrate/ring tone function enables you to select your favorite ring tone from the headset itself. Or if you prefer, simply set the BT800 to 'vibrate only', so you silently know when a call is coming through.

Personally I hate my BT800 and i'll be selling it as soon as I can! It simply doesn't fit my ear, so I'll be moving to a Blue Ant X3 Micro or a Sony Ericsson HBH-662, both of which are really comfy. Although the BA has no CID, you can pair it with up to three devices - sounds useful to me (phone, laptop & desktop).
I have been searching for a nice Headset myself. What is the difference between Sony Erickson HBH 660 and 662? I searched and they basically have the same description. Aside from the price, the 660 is cheaper, but aside from that I don't see any difference. Which is more compatible with the Universal?
i like Jabra bt250, bt110, and also plantronics voyager 510(just bought today)

As soon as Voice Command works flawlessly and we get A2DP then the Motorola HT820 will be a killer headset:
"Music automatically pauses when a call comes in and when the call ends, the music resumes play. The Motorola HT820 removes the need to carry headphones for listening to music and a separate mono Bluetooth headset for handsfree voice communication, by integrating a microphone into the Bluetooth stereo headphones for use with voice calling. The advanced DSP technology within the BlueCore3-Multimedia (BlueCore3-MM) chip significantly reduces background noise and echo and allows the headset to switch between paired devices. The headphones can receive music from any Bluetooth-enabled device that supports the new Advance Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP), thus widening the range of potential music sources.
When paired to a Bluetooth product that supports the Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP), a touch of the headphone’s multifunction button is all that is required to pause music being streamed to the HT820 and answer an incoming call. Once the call is finished, one touch of the same button hangs up the call and resumes the stereo music stream from the point where it was interrupted. This means that users will no longer miss calls if they are listening to music and no longer need to remove their headphones to answer or make a call, without compromising on sound quality."

I just accidently killed my old iriver mp3 player today using the power of my mind and electricity (mostly the electricity), so I'm using Pocket Music with my Exec now, so this solution (+ a wee 4Gb card) can't come quick enough!
What works for me
I have used several BT headsets fron logitech. They work but feel uncomfortable over your ear.
Since three days I am using this !!!!
Very comfortable and does all the basic stuff.
http://www.sweex.com/product.asp?pid=596
I like it.
If you are after a headset for calls (not music) then SE hbh660/662 are hard to beat, especially now that rom upgrade fixed bluetooth turning off randomly. Loud and clear voice, great battery, light and easy to wear.
the bt 800 is my answer
i have V3BTH8 ,BT800,AND SE HBH-600 the best is bt800 you can forget the ppc in your pocket or your bug and do almost all your calls from headset.....
I tried a pair of Motorola HT820 headphones at work when Motorola came to visit. The sound quality was very good (they were streming music from a laptop).
Didn't get a chance to use it with a phone as the demo model paired with a mobile's battery was flat.

Hello,
I think I have found the best FM transmitter for HTC devices (with EMU port).
Here is a description of the product: http://www.e2mate.com/flash/en/index.htm

I only have 2 questions about it:
- Does it also charge the HTC device when you use it ? I mean is the PocketPC charged through the FM transmitter device ?
- Does it also works without the car charger ? I mean is it powered up by the PocketPC device ?

Why do you even need an FM transmitter when you can stream* almost any radiostation out there via mms, pls or rtsp protocols using free TCPMP player, for instance. All of them have links of that sort on their websites.
*Assuming that you have a decent data plan, of course.

Transmitter.... not reciever. However I kinda agree why do you need to connect the phone to the radio? Isn't that the point of the speakerphone? Thats what I use when driving,
this is supposed to be the best?...please get that outta here...try this the motorola t505..fm transmitter and bluetooth speaker phone all in one..and its wireless....google it..I just bought one and IT IS THE BEST hands down!

I agree. I bought this one about a month ago and it is the best FM Transmitter I have ever used. The signal is so strong that I hardley ever hear any static, even if I am streaming to a live radio station. I use mine every day as I am always on the road for my job - average 5 hours a day connected through bluetooth and streaming music from my phone to my stereo using the FM transmitter and only have to charge the thing once a week. This is the best one I have found so far and I have tried dozens of different ones.
Also - No interferance from the phone when you get a call unlike many of the other FM Transmitters I have tried - (NO Buzzing at all like you can sometimes get when phone call comes through when your phone is near a speaker or using a cheap fm transmitter) I use mine with my HTC Touch and Love it.
For my 2 questions, I have contacted the product manufacturer, the response it NO, for the 2 questions :-(
But they are thinking about making a new version, with charging capability of the HTC.. so maybe good new in the near future.

Looks nice, but I have already ordered (and waiting for it) this:
http://www.tekfun.com.tw/eng/product.php?mode=show&cid=2&pid=193
It is also a FM transmitter for HTC that is able to charge the PocketPC at the same time ! but do agree I would have prefered a smaller device than this.

THis looks great, but i already have a factory built in bluetooth carkit, would it be possible to simultaniously connect to my factory built in carkit and to this T505 only for the music?

OK I just tested it and this is what I did. I went into my bluetooth settings and for the T 505 I unchecked the box for handsfree and then paired it with my phone. I played my music and it streamed perfectly through the T 505 to my stereo. I then paired my bluetooth headset and placed a call to myself. The music still paused automatically when the call came through and the call was sent to my bluetooth headset and not to the T 505. After I disconnected the call, the music on the phone resumed and continued streaming through the T 505 to my car stereo. So I was able to connect and use multiple bluetooth devices at the same time with my phone and specify which device will do what - Stream music to T 505 and calls to Headset. You should be able to do the same - Stream music only through the T 505 to your stereo and your calls to your built in factory Bluetooth carkit it you want. Really there would be no need to use the built in car kit though unless your factory carkit displays caller ID information. The T 505 does not : However, I think it might speak the caller ID Number to you when a call comes in. I do not subscribe to caller ID to keep the cost of my cellular plan down so I can't really tell you how that works.
Let me know if this was helpful.

Very helpfull thanx. Just ordered one of those.
I am new in motorola and was hoping someone can help me out with this small problem.
I have purchased 2 Moto T505( one for me and one for my GF). Whenever we receive a phone call, the T505 rings its own ringtone along with the phone ringtone. How can i disable the Moto ringtone(ennoying ascending tone and keep my phone ringtone to ring only)
Thx a lot
Any help is appreciated

I just assumed that it could not be done since it is built into the T505. I actually prefer it though as the phone ring tune is sometimes not loud enough to hear, but you will never fail to hear the Moto T505 ring
but they ring togetherrrr
At first, it worked only phone ringtone. then the moto ringtone came along.EXTREMELY ENNOYING. i mustve pressed something

Yeah, They have always rang together for me. If you can figure out how to get my ring tune to come throught the Moto nice and loud rather then the default moto ring, that I would really be interested in.
hmmm.well i use my car speakers, so its always loud.

That's what I mean. Currently, the Moto default ring is what comes thorugh the car speakers and my phones ringtone only plays through the phones built in speaker (Not loud enough for in the car)
i wish it was the contrary.i will try one more thing and see if it works out.But im almost 100% sure it can work without the moto ringtone.I just want to either set the moto to be either headphone or speaker via bluetooth.maybe thats the clue.
will try it tomo and tell u

I've been looking into those today but found out it doesn't charge the phone? Thats really odd.
They can be had on Ebay for 15 bucks CDN
Has anyone used one of these devices - ebay item 330270408584
How well does it work with a PPC ?
I would take a punt and get one, but apparently I will need adaptors to connect to my car (audi) which bumps the price to £61 !!!
In view of that, I want to know if the sound is crystal clear, connects automatically etc
XCarLink?

I have been looking at these on eBay:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=160283183151
£75 and you get an MP3 player that interfaces to a standard Audi head-unit (see the list) and emulates a 2nd CD-Changer. It also has a BlueTooth adapter that allows you to stream audio from your phone to it (A2DP?) as well as apparently acting as a hands-free car-kit.
I use TomTom Navigator on my HTC Kaiser and would like to know about how functional it is when used in this combination - i.e. Use Media Player or Audio Manager on the PDA to play music whilst running TomTom and also use it as a hands-free kit for the phone. I have verified that using the internal speaker you can play music and also use TomTom and the the instructions are just played over the music. I just don't want to get one and find out its cr4p.
I have asked the question on a couple of forums but not had any good responses yet. I have a 20% off voucher for eBay (as long as PayPal is used) so I can get £15 off the £75 which brings it down to £60. However £60 is still £60 and if it's rubbish......

looks good
I've got an Audi too. Here are a few pics of my iO Play setup which supports the handsfree and headset profies (HSF/HSP) as well as the stereo music and remote control profiles (A2DP/AVCRP). In all honesty though, this was a custom (ie non plug and play) setup. So I did do some custom wiring to get this to work. I think though, if you have an older non-Bose Audi, this might be plug and play.

IO play looks good but is gonna be about £150
I like the look of xcarlink but it doesn't say much about its bluetooth operation
I want to keep using S2P as my preferred MP3 software because the cover flow is superb
Therfore I dont want to reorganise my folders as xcarlink suggests, but if the bluetooth A2DP works, I shouldn't have too
Can you take a punt on the xcarlink as you have the 20% voucher
I'm sure if it didnt work out, you could resell on ebay for the purchase price as you bought it for less money

I'm very tempted to try the xcarlink
Bluetooth Module?
As far as I can work out the Bluetooth module is an afterthought and is entirely external. The XCarLink doesn't actually have any Bluetooth intelligence as the module just plugs into the AUX port - like a 'dumb' MP3 player connected directly with a stereo jack plug (I assume there has been some minor modification to get power to the module though?).
I have been searching for a manual or installation guide and can't find anything useful. I am tempted to just get one with my 20% discount and see how it works - its still £60 though
If anyone has any experience with one of these or has any links I would be grateful.

It does appear to be a different unit than the non bluetooth version. It looks like a mini usb socket for the bluetooth module, while the non BT version has a 3.5mm headphone input

Yes, thats what I thought. If you look at the cables that get supplied with it there is a mini-USB to 3.5 stereo audio jack as well. I assume they have just used the extra pins in the mini-USB (if that's indeed what it is?) to power the BT module.
Still not sure whether to get it or not

If I get one I will be happy to post a full review with some decent pictures and you tube vid
I'll let you know how well it works
I'm biting the bullet and getting one
Stand by for a full review when it arrives

That looks good but suffers from the same issue (albeit opposite) as the XCarLink does emulating a CD Changer - i.e. if you are not listening to the radio (i.e. your BT kit) then you won't be notified that a call is coming in.
I have also bitten the bullet and ordered an XCarLink with BT, with my 20% discount I got it for £59.80 (unless customs hit me for any import duty....).
I'll post a review when I manage to get it fitted...

On the other hand, if you are not listening to the radio via the BT kit, then you probably haven't got the phone currently paired with the device anyway, in which case you will be notified just like normal. Also, if you set the phone to vibrate you will always be notified that way regardless.
In my experience, this device doesn't "suffer" from anything.

OK, but with a 'proper' car kit interfaced with the Phone input on the head unit you would be notified regardless of what you were listening to. In my experience if Led Zeppelin or AC-DC gets played on the radio station I am listening to I immediateley up the volume which will drown out the phone ringer. With either the XCarLink or the Motorola BT device you use there will be no interuption which there would be with a regular car kit like a Parrot dur to the way it interfaces with the HU.
In Manchester (UK) we now have a classic Rock station (Rock 106.1) and Led Zepellin and AC-DC are on quite often....

All received and almost there
I have the sound working via the line in socket
I'm struggling to get it talking to my phone
I've plugged the bluetooth module into the xcarlink (nothing else connected)
I pressed the button on the bluetooth module. Some beeps came through the stereo and a partnership was set up, however no music or phone calls
Any ideas - think it's likely to be a feature of wm6 than a fault with the xcarlink

I have to go to
Settings/Bluetooth then tap and hold the xcarlink device until the menu appears
Then select "set as wireless stereo"
Seems I have to do this each time. Which is a shame, but I know this is the XDA rather than the xcarlink. Does anyone know an automatic way ?
Perhaps a task for Mortscript - but that will be a whole learning curve
Acually, it may be the xcarlink that's your issue, I have some A2DP accessories that search for my phone as soon as they are turned on, and I have some that don't.
However, how is the xcarlink's A2DP sound quality? Do all AVCRP remote control commands work properly? Also, does it have any handsfree capabilities?

I'm interested to buy a new car stereo, in the way to stream directly the music from mine Desire over bluetooth. Someone got some experience about it? I would look to buy an used car stereo from ebay for this... any clue?
I have a kenwood KDC-X8016BT
does almost all.
can use the headset buttons to change the music being streamed via BT on phone OR other wy around.
Handsfree
voice dial
etc etc
the only thing I don’t like is.... when scrolling through the phonebook via the headset.... you can't use the first letter shortcuts .... you have to scroll them all from a to z. But you can set 10 numbers to the one push favorites button...
If I were you I'd only believe it works when you see it works... My desire reboots when connected to my carstereo via bluetooth / a2dp since the Froyo 2.2 upgrade.

Really ? I use my Desire with Pioneer BT600 everyday for internet radio, spotify, calls. Never had a reboot at all everything fine with mine, on Leedroid 2.1a atm
So, normally a stereo with a Bluetooth connection "should be" compatible with the Desire?
I have the JVC KD-R901 and the bluetooth streaming works fine, as does hands free calling with the Desire.
Good to hear! someone got another experience with Desire + one car stereo with Bluetooth?
Another question, can two different bluetooth devices work together or there would be a conflict? for example using the Desire plus this remote for the radio:

I have a JVC KD-BT11 few years old now but very good and never had any problems. Works very well with the desire both for calls and music.
Connects within seconds of turning starting the car and also works with the steering wheel controls in the car to skip tracks on the phone etc.

I use the Sony MEX-BT3800U with me desire and it works really well via Bluetooth. It even has a front USB socket for direct access to the SD card and is even strong enough to charge the phone too.

The Stereo needs a minimum Bluetooth revision to be compatible with the Desire? for example the Bluetooth 1.1 or 2.0?

bump, no one know?
I just bought a new car stereo with Bluetooth 1.1 and 2.0 with A2DP (Marquant MCR-1257) but I got problem to play the music from mine Desire, can someone help me?
I connected the two devices together, then the instructions said that I need to change the autoradio mode (there are Radio, Aux, and BT-Play mode) but only the first two are selectable.
What I have done wrong? how did you connected the Desire with your stereo?
After some settings I finally connected the music via Bluetooth...but...
DAMN SUONDS SO BAD
The music volume is lower then the AUX mode, and there's this costant background sound that ruins the sound so much
It's that normal that Bluetooth sounds so bad? Als digital sounds should not be better compared to the Aux?

That doesn't sound normal. I've had a similar sound problem with stereo headphones when it thinks the headphones are mono headset. Rebooting both devices and reconnecting helped.

Check the media volume on the phone is set to full whilst you are streaming over Bluetooth.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
I tryed both, I disconnected and riconnected the device from zero, I checked the volume level (max) but it's still sounds worst (quality and volume) compared to AUX.
Any other clue?
i got a pioneer and all is good. even downloads my phone book so no rooting through phone when driving to make a call. Best advice is to go to a proper car stereo place and ask them for advice as they have seen and done it. from my experience stay away from halfords. Talk to these guys http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/store-finder.htm they have always been able to help me with anything
Resurrection of post
So for bringing back a relatively old post, but I am about to invest a considerable amount of money into my car stereo system, and am looking for the perfect head unit for the following:
Samsung Galaxy S I9000 to work with A2DP for streaming music and making calls (needs phonebook reading etc)
Ipad to work with Apple Connector direct to headunit (Mainly for audio, however Video playback would be awesome via the Apple Video Connector)
AUX input for other people's devices
DAB Radio
USB port for flash disk
Do you think all these requirements can be satisfied with one super mega ultra headunit?
Sorry for posting in this forum despite my lack of a Desire, however I couldn't find a similar topic in the I9000 forum!
Thoughts on a postcard perhaps?

Bucketchem,
I'm also considering buying a Kenwood KDC-8016BT to use with my Android phone. Can you confirm how the voice dialling works that you quote it can do? The manual on the Kenwood website implies that only the KDC-X7016/KDC-X7016L can perform voice dialling calls (perhaps because this unit uses the external Bluetooth box which may be higher spec’ed that the one built into the KDC-X8016BT? Anyway, it seems strange that the higher spec'ed unit overall couldn't do this. Can you please confirm voice dialling is indeed a feature of the KDC-X8016BT? If so, does it require pre recording of voice tags (as the Kenwood manual implies is required for the KDC-X7016/KDC-X7016L) or does it just activate the voice dialler built into the phone - thus the intelligence for the voice dialling is in the phone rather than the car stereo?
Thanks,
David.

I previously did a review on the Nokia BH-214 almost 2 years ago. Loved it & now I saw they have a newer version out: BH-221
First, some pictures compared to the 214 (white):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
A lot of what I loved about the 214 remains and what annoyed me about the 214 was resolved. Namely the clasp. The 214 was fixed, could never rotate. With the 221, the clasp rotates 360! One of the coolest new features of the 221 is NFC. You can power it on simply by holding the Nexus up to it! (I've not had much luck getting it connected via this method yet though.)
You can *STILL* use whatever earphones you prefer. The headphones plug in in the middle, opposite of the screen, not on the edge like previously. It charges via micro USB (same as Nexus) unlike the standard Nokia micro pin plug on the 214.
They've also added an OLED screen that will show you caller id, track names (if the device it's connected to supports it), and displays the FM channel it's tuned to. OH YEA! It has a built in FM tuner! If your phone was like the EVO, it used the ear phones plugged in for an antenna.
It also supports mutilpoint connectivity, allowing it to be simultaneously connected to two devices. To initiate a search for a phone, press the Start/End Call button for about a second. Same thing for a media device, except you press the Play/Pause. Here you can see it searching for a phone or music device:
I use it in the car as a hands free (via the Aux In) connected to my EVO (as a pure media device) and my Nexus for phone. Works great. The only aspect that I miss is that all notifications on the Nexus won't be heard because they're played over the media connection, not phone. Also, I believe the mic to be improved as I used to get complaints about echos when on a phone call while plugged into the stereo.
It took me about 30 minutes to figure out how to connect a 2nd device. It's not intuitive and the manual has NO INFORMATION on it at all. It required a lot of button holding after initiating a search. Hold the Prev/Next buttons simultaneously & options menu is scrollable via the Prev/Next buttons. The options are:
- Adjust Bass/Treble
- Connect 2nd Device
- Language
- Factory Reset
(NOTE: I didn't realize that the 214 could connect to multiple devices as well! I don't know how I decided to try, but it works essentially the same was as the 221. Press & hold the phone to connect to a phone device, Play/Pause for a media device. You don't get a screen to show the search, but it worked. I can connect to both my EVO & Nexus at the same time with no music apps running on my Nexus, but music playing on my EVO that I can hit next/prev & the songs change and take a phone call on the Nexus. Thought that was neat!)
One of the greatest things I loved about the 214 was the battery. It seemed to last longer than advertised. The 221 seems to last about what's advertised & seemingly shorter than the 214.
The other issue is price. I paid about ~$30 more than I paid for the 214. Another cool thing for the 221 is now it comes in 5 colors (White/Black/Blue/Green/Pink, but it's just the controls, the body is still black). The 214 comes in 2 (white or black, I believe maybe a blue too?). I bought it for about $75 at Expansys.
(NOTE: I haven't found a North America 221 for sale yet, they only have the EU version. You can tell by the plug, but Expansys included a US/EU plug adapter! I almost threw the box away my order came in & while verifying it was empty, I found the adapter! Works great.)
The volume is about the same, if not the 214 being a tad louder than the 221. The call clarity is as good as your phone & I've not had any complaints about noise or whatever from others when on a call.
I keep the 221 in the car because of it's better mic capabilities & the 214 (that used to stay in the car) now is around my neck full time again. Either make a great hands free/media interface for my car. The stock stereo was severely lacking & the 214/221 is a pretty good stop gap.
Thanks for your review. I purchased the 214 based on your review.
I've liked my 214. My issues have been connectivity - I'd say about 1/3rd of the time my key presses on the 214 are not registering with my phone. Do you notice any increased responsiveness with the 221?
If you haven't noticed any change there, I'm not sure I'll upgrade. I haven't found the need for a rotating clip. I also don't think I need two connections.

I've not noticed the connectivity issues with my 214. Sometimes I do, right when I make the first connection, but it's usually pretty reliable.
As for the 221, I haven't noticed it either, other than when I power it on via NFC. I still have to hit the Send/End to get it to pair with Nexus, so it's not really saving much. I think as far as music is concerned, sometimes (with ether 214 or 221) it immediately fires up a music app by hitting Play/Pause, sometimes it doesn't.
As for a dual connection, the 214 supports it, which I didn't realize until having my EVO be the primary media device on the 214/221 (unchecking the "Connect to Phone" option under EVO's BT Settings) & making the Nexus the primary phone device (unchecking the "Connect to Media" option). Since I don't have any cell service on the EVO, I can't verify that it'd connect to the phone anyway, but I know I can get my Nexus to connect to both phone/media if the EVO BT isn't on or near.
audio clarity
how is the Bass and Audio Clarity? do you think it is good enough for gym?
Thanks for the review. It would be great if they put all these into a watch format with an extra speaker phone function.
Not so sure about the smart watch thing, but a Bluetooth headset in a watch format would be awesome.

Subjective. It works for me & I'm using Shure SCL2 IEMs (professional level). Either the 214/221 is plenty loud enough with good sealing in ears. If you want to further it, you could use a FiiO E5 headphone amp. It's about the exact same size as the 214 & will boost the audio fine. I use one on my desktop or when traveling on a plane.

I imagine you could just clip it to a wrist band or jogging arm band to get that.
One of the coolest aspects I've noticed lately of the 221 is how much easier it is to power on/off. Anyone with a 214 will tell you how hard it is to push that tiny button.
If your Galaxy Nexus has stock 4.0.4, can you please tell me whether it has a lag to play any sound other than the google music player and videos? MW600 is driving me nuts with this lag, I know it is 4.0.4 specific but I'm not sure if it is specific for the MW600 or if it affects other bluetooth headsets. The simplest way to test it is playing a game, audio lag is easily noticed while playing games...
P.s.: if you are listening to FM radio, is the phone audio still routed to the headset, and can you easily answer a call, or is it like MW600 where you need to manually switch the headset to the bluetooth mode and then answer the call?

SGS2 A403 (Litening Rom) ... in game it totaly have lag - delay is about half the second ... I got big delay even in MX player but only sometimes ... mostly it was with the "standard" delay
there is FM mode and bt mode ... switched with one position button ... it will automatically switch to BT when calling
Im missing android app for that device to bind buttons and more (like display managment) maybe I will write it but it wont be soon ... nokia.com/support also missing that devices (only mono headsets)
maybe bug but voice recording uses phone mic to record ... the sophisticated app is really needed
when someone calling with "turn on/off" you answer the call
its small but have own weight ... the watch option is good idea
Hi Laygo,
I just bought this device from expansys, and it is working great with music player but I keep losing connection when it works as a headset for calls. If I am 1 meter away from the phone it will connect and disconnect every few seconds. The main reason I bought this was to use it for calls
My phone is an htc Titan. Have you even encountered this issue? Any way to fix it or shall I just return it to expansys?
Many thanks.
The only problem I have is with NFC: when I power it on via NFC, it won't actually connect. I have to hit the phone button for almost a second (until you hear the single beep), let go & then it connects. Once connected, I do not have ANY issues with media or phone. Works flawlessly.
Multipoint
So can I receive calls on both the devices I connect or only one device can be used to receive calls ??
I have the model bh-214 and a galaxy I9100.
When I connect it to the aux in the car who is calling me hears echo. Is there a solution? Has tried it in the car as bluethooth handsfree?
Thanks.
Well, after awhile, the screen on my 221 has not legible at all. It might have something to do with the Texas summers or not, but I rarely use the screen. It is needed to pair/configure, but I've not used it hardly at all.
Still connects flawlessly with both my Evo/Nexus with my Evo purely as Media & Nexus as Phone and/or Media (if I have the Evo off).
Hey,
I've been looking for a decent bluetooth stereo headset to use with my own earphones and I like the look of the Nokia BH-221 but I've got a couple of concerns maybe you can help with:
Low volume issue
I've read that some people are having issues with the device not pushing out enough volume, some suggest even with the stock earplugs. Apparently the issue is even worse with mid range impedance headphones like I'd planned to use (70 ohms). Anyone here having similar issue with this device?
Track ID
I've been looking at headsets with a display (this one, MW600 & MW1) as I want to be able to control my music and see track names on my commute without getting my phone out. I've read that Nokia didn't implement AVRCP 1.3, instead they've implemented v1.0 then done some black magic to make the track information work with certain handsets (mainly Nokia's). This seems like a bit of a deal breaker for me as I want a BT headset that's standards compliant so even if the track ID doesn't work on my Nexus 4 & Nexus 7 now, when stock android updates the BT profiles to support AVRCP 1.3+ then it should all start working. What are your experiences with the track ID support?
If the two points above are real problems with the device then I'll probably pick up a MW600 or MW1 as an alternative. I just think the Nokia BH-221 looks so much nicer!
Thanks
A word of warning: This bluetooth device has serious compatibility issues with the Lumia 920.

Based on the reasons I mentioned above I went for the older device: MW600 - I'll post a youtube review once I've had a week or two with it.

Send it back now!
The worst designed headset ever and the quality is dreadful.
I got one to replace my 7 year old Nokia BH - 500 and thought it would be great after reading some reviews.
How wrong i was!
Whoever designed it needs sacking.
When you want to turn volume up it never works but when you don't want to touch it you will.
It is infuriatingly bad.
Then there is the sound
I took it back and got an exchange because i thought it was broken.
But it wasn't as the new one was the same.
Anything over 3/4 volume distorts and it is not even loud anyway.
100% on that is like 50% on the Nokia for loudness and in a completely different league for quality.
To the OP in your review of the 214 you mention numerous times how Loud it is but then you have just said in this review you use something else to bump up the volume?
So.. Why would you need to if its so loud?
Ever tried Nokia BH-500?
Its great, quality and loudness are amazing (with different headphones but how does it compare to 214?
This site says it is brilliant, i have just ordered another BH-500 from Amazon and am now wondering if i should change?
http://www.gadgetnutz.com/2010/07/12/nokia-bh-214-review/
Edit, tested back 2 back with same songs and earphones and BH-500 is better.

1 ear headpieces are mono headsets. Under your bluetooth settings, select the paired headset and see if you have the option 'media audio' and make sure it is checked. Additionally, the S3 has a 'Mono Music' widget built into touchwiz. I suspect the widget will give you what you want. If all that doesn't work , you can buy one of these type of bluetooth headsets like the Samsung HS3000 and replace the detachable ear phones with single mono ones.

I personally used to use this Bluetooth awhile back, loved it and it worked and sounded good.
http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/m155
Idk anything about the one you posted though
Since you already bought a couple, i would first try to get those to work. No point buying more. I don't think that link on ebay works either. The headset itself has to support bluetooth A2DP profile , which most , if not all mono headset aren't designed to do. Again, i would try to configure the software as mentioned earlier to get it to work first.
You should google the following sentence which will help :
"android streaming music to mono bluetooth headsets"
Good luck.

1 ear headpieces are mono headsets. Under your bluetooth settings, select the paired headset and see if you have the option 'media audio' and make sure it is checked. Additionally, the S3 has a 'Mono Music' widget built into touchwiz. I suspect the widget will give you what you want. If all that doesn't work , you can buy one of these type of bluetooth headsets like the Samsung HS3000 and replace the detachable ear phones with single mono ones.

Any ideas where this "mono music" option might be ? settings? i cant seem to find it...
Its a widget, add to home screen first, then toggle it

Since you already bought a couple, i would first try to get those to work. No point buying more. I don't think that link on ebay works either. The headset itself has to support bluetooth A2DP profile , which most , if not all mono headset aren't designed to do. Again, i would try to configure the software as mentioned earlier to get it to work first.
You should google the following sentence which will help :
"android streaming music to mono bluetooth headsets"
Good luck.

I am using a similar JB app on my iPhone to send all audio out to mono bluetooth headset. You can also search for "bluetooth mono headsets with a2dp" on google. A2DP headsets will accept stereo bluetooth connection even if the headset is mono/one ear.
Don't know if you care about sound quality at all, but the GS3 supports apt-X and the HS3000 someone mentioned also supports it. You just need t switch out the double to a mono earpiece.
Also I've seen this headset on Amazon that is a clip-on that had a single retractable earplug:
