its a bluetooth headset you connect it through bluetooth not NFC
It says that its nfc compatible and if it wasn't im guessing it wouldn't get a tag when touched

i have to say these do sound pretty nice the bass is good, volume gets pretty loud. overall they are over decent! they sound way better than the earbuds that came with the SGSII, but they do not compare to my Klipsch S4.

Did you received a tracking number if so just check to see where it is. So far im happy with it sounds good music plays good thru it and for the price we paid can't really complain lol.. Just trying to figure the nfc out saw a video on YouTube where it connected with a Nokia 701 phone with no problems using nfc and if it wasn't nfc enabled it wouldnt turn on and phone wouldn't get an unknown tag from it just by touching the bottom back of the phone with the back part of the headset

np glad you were able to get it straighten out now im kinda wishing something had gone wrong with my order so i couldve added 1 more for my girl and not need to worry about her taking mine which i know is gonna happen in the end unless i wear it enough so it dont fit her head ..lol
ok , so i recieved my headsets today, and i opened one of em up to give it a try, i enabled the nfc thing, but i didnt seem to instantly pair like the instructions specified...... however they did pair via bluetooth, and seem okay, although i did have to change the original earbud ends with a larger set; but the quality is pretty clear, and seem comfortable, ill be able to test them fully when i take them to work tomm!
It took me a couple of light taps to get it to tag with nfc have to touch the bottom part of the phone right above the curve where the speaker is but all it does is give an unknown tag type and doesnt do anything just wanna know if there would be a difference in sound quality if paired with nfc rather than Bluetooth but maybe its just not compatible...

i ordered 4 and i got them -D like in 2 days super fast shippin i was surprised!
So has anyone figured out how to pair this headset using NFC?
As I understand, if your phone has NFC (such as GSII or Nexus S), you only need to tap your phone on the middle part of the headset and they will pair up automatically - no need to even turn on bluetooth or go into bluetooth settings.
Granted, they are still connected via bluetooth, but NFC will initiate that connection without prompting the user to do anything else.
I tried tapping my Nexus S (on ICS 4.0.3) and collected a "Unknown tag." So apparently the NFC chips see each other, but the phone doesn't know what to do with that NFC tag.
Any clue on how to get the phone to recognize the tag?

iono if anyones seen these, or better have them but i'm thinking about purchasing one and wanted to know if it works on our evo's well.
MBW-150
I have the "executive" SonyEricsson BT watch, and have it working with my Evo. It actually works better with the 3rd-party software than it did with officially supported SE handsets. I have used my watch with a Windows Mobile and now Android. My only complaint on Android is that it doesn't support Exchange email, but works for SMS messages. Caller ID, etc. seems to work just fine.
sorry to ask.. but whats the point of this.. like why use it?
thanks
never messed with BT watches...not stylish enough for me
wow now that's nerdy
Nah its like some james bond ****, and say your in a situation where you can't just pull your phone out but you just wanna see who text you. There's some pretty nice lookin ones too
Looks incredibly gay, I mean it looks like it's for women.
Do women know how to use BT?

I agree that's pretty F'n cool, but I also agree that particular one appears rather feminine.
So many times it's annoying to take the phone out of your pocket, put it back, just so you can see one stupid text message that you really didn't need to bother taking it out for. But this would only be cool if it supports reading text messages. No point if it's only for calls. I'm subscribing, definitely let us know if you buy one!!!
This would be brilliant for me on my motorcycle! then i can decide if a call/text is important enough to pull over and deal with it.
Haha they get pricey, I looked up that sony one, a little too rich for my blood but theres some good looking touch screens ones

yes it works... the openwatch app works well. The agenda openwatch plug-in does not. What this means is that you get to control audio play, pause, ff, rw, and vol up and down. You also get mail notification that includes the sender and some small details of the message, usually the subject line. You get SMS notification that includes sender and the sms txt. You get battery in a percentage form. GTalk does not work yet. The agenda plug-in does not work right now since moving to froyo.

you made sure you held the button for at least 5 seconds? turn bluetooth on your device first and search. then turn on pairing mode on the bridge. i think that should work.

im sorry, as for pairing it went without a hitch with cm6 of coarse. Did not try pc and phone at the same time due to that I already zip- tied and tucked my wiring into my car. Audio came through nice and loud did not seem cut-off.
All and all nice little bridge so far.
Gonna try with sense rom ( for some reason I have been in 1x mode all day)

you don't hear any noise in the background of the music at all? kinda like light static. i hear it on mine. that's why i wanna know other people's impressions on them. maybe mine is a defect? gonna try it more and see.

Hey guys. So I just got my bluetooth ODB adapter in the mail and wanted to test it out on my 02 Infiniti with the Torque app. I was able to pair the adapter with my phone but it said it was only paired not connected. I tried numerous times to get it to pair and connect to the phone but it would only pair.
Ok, so having paired it with the phone I opened the app and went to the ODP Adapter section. This indicated that everything was connected and working properly. When I went to the Live section where it shows your cars stats live that was working. The only thing that wasn't working was the most important thing...the Fault Code section wouldn't load. I don't remember the exact message but I think it said ECU has no fault codes.
I hope all this made some kind of sense. If anyone is familiar with this app can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Perhaps u have no error codes to clear. Btw it does not show in connected after a pairing but it works. Shows no error codes on my car but i do not have a check engine light on
Sent from my LogicPD Zoom2 using XDA App
No fault codes is good thing.
If you get any fault codes, then you have emission problems.
There are not suppose to be any codes, they mean trouble and something is broke.

Yeah and usually if you have a fault code you would already know since on most new(er) cars an indicator light will go off.
Disconnect your MAF sensor, or a wheel speed sensor, go for a short drive. Guaranteed to trip a MIL.
The speed sensor will trip the abs and or traction control light but not a Check Engine light. The maf will for sure though along with several other sensors.
That's right... Good point! leave your gas cap off, that will definitely set off a fault code.
Just finished repairing my 2002 silverado with this app and my Bluetooth obdII scanner...
Best $54 spent! First repair and the combo paid for itself.... Had a faulty O2 sensor, a quick run to oreily auto parts, and within 20 min my truck was like new again
Highly recommend !
I actually just got mine yesterday and started messing around with it. So far I think its great. I had the same problem at first that it paired but not connected but you have to make sure you go into the adapter setting and choose to connect it to the reader. The only thing I wish it did was clear the CEL. Other than that it is a great setup.
What OBD dongles are you using? Price $? Link?
Thanks!
I have had this app for a year now and love it! I have been using an adapter from ebay (about 30 bucks from china) and never had any problems.
Fyi.
When you pair your obd dongle, it won't show connected unless you have the app running. When the app is not in use and you look at bluetooth devices it will say paired but not connected.
Once you turn app on it will be connected.

I bought it from a different seller but it looks just like this one. It has yet to fail me on any car I've tried it on, but sometimes you have to turn the app on and off and tinker with it to get it to connect. This is one my favorite apps.......been using it since I got my Evo.
OP = Depending on your car, disconnecting the MAF sensor may not even allow it to turn on, but you can try it. I can tell you my car won't turn on if I unplug the MAF. As other people mentioned, If you don't have any "check engine" or warning lights turned on in your dash, the fact that it's not throwing out any trouble codes means it is working correctly.
Sometimes you have to turn the car on and not just leave it in start

Yea, they're all the same part with a different sticker on it. Look at the design of the plastic case, the position of the lights, the ridges on the side, etc. I agree that this is some of the best money I've spent, too. Also, the dev for the app is always on point fixing bugs and updating features. I've used it to trouble shoot other people's cars and made several jaws drop with this app on a few different occasions. Not to mention all the extra live data it gives you that you would normally have to buy and install individual gauges for. This app is a MUST for any car enthusiast.

Hey guys, I just noticed in THIS thread that Best Buy has an offer going on where if you buy an AT&T or Sprint LGOG you should get a free headset with it.
From what it sounds like, it is a good headset.
I don't know when they started this or how long it will last, but it was confirmed still going on as of yesterday (1/5/2013).
If you bought an OG from Best Buy and didn't get a headset, you should be able to go in with your receipt and ask for the headset (others in the thread have been able to).
I have not been able to get mine yet, but my fingers are crossed.
Got mine today.
It didn't seem like well known information so I wanted to post it here, sorry if this is frowned upon.
HERE is the link to the offer from Best Buy.
Edit..............
You have to be within the 30 days that you purchased your phone.
Also, it is an online promotion, but they can match it in the store.
Just show them the link, the will pull it up.
Have them Google "best buy free headset with optimus g".
Do not know when they started this but I just hit my 30 days with this phone so I doubt I can take advantage of this deal

Another user said they called BB and they said the purchase does have to be within the last 30 days.
Just went to BB and got my free headset (was within the 30-day window). Had to wait over 45min because they couldn't bring this deal up on their own internal website and showing them the site on my phone wasn't good enough. I used their own computer to go to XDA, hit the link provided by bleached45, and showed them the deal was legit.
Well worth the wait. Thanks for posting this deal bleached45! :good:
I got the free headset with my OG when I picked it up for $99 at BB. They miss labeled the price, as it was supposed to be $199 with free headset, but since I caught it they gave me the deal anyways.
The headset I got was a wrap around neck style with ear buds. It was a neat concept, but the audio quality was only good for phone calls. It was horrible for music, which I was hoping to use it for since it was more like Bluetooth ear buds than a normal headset.

Just went to BB and got my free headset (was within the 30-day window). Had to wait over 45min because they couldn't bring this deal up on their own internal website and showing them the site on my phone wasn't good enough. I used their own computer to go to XDA, hit the link provided by bleached45, and showed them the deal was legit.

Very cool, glad it worked.
Quick question, I got my OG as a gift and have the receipt but it has a family member's name and card number on it, did you need to show them ID or have your card (assuming you got it on a card).
Nope... Just needed my original receipt. They scanned it and it had all the info they needed. Didn't need to show a license or credit card.
Then again, after 45min they may have passed on all that info just to get me out of the store... Lol

Haha, well thanks for letting me know.
If I wasn't out of thanks for the day I would hit it.
i constantly read xda forum for whatever device i have but rarely post. But I had to post a reply to this. I purchased a LGOG about a week ago from BB and no one mentioned headset. i ran out during my lunch break to BB and picked it up. No questions asked...in/out in about 10min. Thanks XDA
i bought my phone on january 2nd and just called them about this, they thought i was crazy and had no recollection of it even when i told them how to find the link offer and they were looking at it they said i was SOL

Maybe try going in to the store and show them the link and ask if they will match the offer.
Go to the mobile section.
Sorry.

I used BB's own company computer to click the link provided by bleached45 in the first post to show them the deal was legit. So definitely go to the store.
Also, make sure you go back to the store where you purchased the LGOG. I figured all BBs are the same, but apparently not when it comes to purchasing phones. I went to one store and they told me too bad, I have to go to the store where I purchased the phone.
Not a good deal when you consider their phone price
Wow! $699 unactivated? That's pretty darn expensive, and makes the free $69 headset not worth it.
I got my OG for $579 direct from Ting, and I didn't think there was anything special about that price.
Swooby

I ordered my phone online and unfortunately there is no best buy and the closest one is over an hour away, dont feel like spending 3 hours driving to have the chance of them not giving it to me.
I got mine for the $99 promotion the day after christmas at a best buy about 30 minutes away. I have the receipt. Any chance they can mail it to me? If not I will get it next time im in that part of the valley.
Ah! Y'all are $99 carrier contract buyers. That make more sense.
I bought my OG without a contract through ting.com and pay $25/mo, saving me $65/mo...the price of that free BT headset!
Peace

I don't know, as far as I know, nobody has tried to get them to mail it.
I think your best bet is to go in, most people have reported that when they call about it bb said they couldn't match it, but in store they were able to get it.

okay, I got my parents to say I can go tomorrow or friday so is the music quality any good, or should I stick with my $100 wired headphones, and just sell it for other stuff I want to get?
Just stopped into my local BB they are out but there are some on the truck. Holding one for me when they put out the stock. Manager knew about the offer. Was way cool about it. Love best buy!

Bought my LGOG on 12/22, went in today and asked about the headset, the BB guy couldn't find the ad online, so I brought it up on my phone from the link here in the forums. He said OK no problem. Got me some new earbuds! They sound alright, not great. Actually they seem a little too small in my ears even with the bigger rubber cones. But I'm not going to b***** when they were free! :good:
