I keep ruining my headphones. A few months and they are toast. So i was thinking of buying bluetooth stereo ones. And ran across these:

Price seems to low to pass on, but i was wondering has anyone tried something like this with Omnia?
Thanks

No Stereo output, only mono

Hey guys,
Hope someone can help...
My TP is only playing sound from one of the headphones - for MP3 and for the FM Radio.
Would this be a setting somewhere or a dodgy pair of headphones? It's only 3 days old and the headphones were only taken out yesterday.
Cheers!
Seems to have rectified itself...
Mines just stated doing this, only playing mono no matter what headphones are used.
anyone else come across this?

Bluetooth stereo issues

I have had a Motorola S9 through 3 phones and have had no problems, my first Imagio had no problems, my replacement Imagio however, when I am listening to music via the S9 the music gets choppy and cuts in and out. Has anyone had any issues with bluetooth on the Imagio?
I am having issues with my bluetooth hands free. In order to use it i have to have the phone within a foot or two and nothing in between for the sound to come through clear. I would also like to know if there is any kind of fix for this
I don't know if this will be any help...but here are some registry edits I did to clear up the stereo audio quality over bluetooth.
I also use the Motorola S9 headphones and have had no issues.
For me...the music seems to be crystal clear.
Let me know if it works for you...
---
You can always try a hard reset to see if that clears up the problem.
my phone did the same choppy play back then i went to verizons website and looked up the s9 head phones it come back not compatible i did not feel like calling verizon to confirm this tho.
i was think about stealing the headsets from my older son since he likes his $10.00 skullcandy ear buds they were on sale at target during christmas
I like sony earphone
i like sony too
3 plantronics BT headset that will not pair.
1 Samsung stereo headset that will not pair.
My Imagio sees my other phones, my wife's computer, Dell Axim, my Nextar BT hands free.
The problem don't appear to be with BT itself because it does seem to work. Why can't my Imagio pair with this stuff when other devices can?
Is it possible that the Imagio doesnt have a stereo or streaming audio profile?
I suppose i should try pairing my motorola stereo earphones and see for myself.

Remote control with headphones

On my previous phones diamond and hero i've used the HTC RC E100 remote. It was quite handy, allowed me to control the music player without getting the phone out of my pocket, and the best thing was i could just use my own headphones!
Unfortunatly it has a mini-usb connector. Now that the desire uses a micro USB connector i am looking for something similiar.
Control for music, volume, phone (incl. mic) and where i can plug in my own headphones.
I just love those in ear headphones and don't want to use the ones that came with the desire.
Does anybody know about a remote that would fit my desire and my needs?
Thanks everyone!

Maybe something like these: http://www.lgmobileshop.co.uk/go/ac...10m?NAVID=2DE6D616-3005-BC57-7F4D79DFC6BE490B
Not sure how good/bad they are in terms of quality.

Allthough they are missing those msic control buttons, do you know if it will work with the desire?

The Desire uses a standard micro USB (5-pin micro-USB 2.0) connection, I am just thinking whether or not the Desire even supports audio through the USB...
As far as I know, the Nexus One uses a standard Micro-USB connector, which has no audio support. The only way to listen through an amp is Bluetooth or the headphone jack.

thank you for the provided information. as the nexus one and the desire are very similar, i guess the desire will miss the audio support via usb as well. in all other phones where audio via usb was supported, HTC has used a non standard usb port.
i will keep on searching for a remote that plugs in via the headphone jack. if someone has an idea
cheers,

I think I have a solution.
Jabra BT3030 bluetooth headset. A2DP and AVRCP so you get your stereo sound and also utilise audio controls. Plus it has a 3.5mm jack so you can plug in whatever headphones you want.
Google it. I've got one on the way.
I've been looking for head phones too, and these look like the best offer so far. I am a bit worried about the blue tooth running down the battery though. But let me know how you find these. If all the buttons work with the desire I'll probably get myself a set.
I've been using my Jabra BT3030 and the controls do work. There is a small time lag between pressing a button on the Jabra and it responding.
One good thing I found about the phone (with or without headphones) is that the volume control on the phone works even when the phone has gone to sleep. On my HD2 that didn't happen and it really annoyed me.

So how is the Jabra overall? Worth buying? I've been reading the amazon reviews and some issues have been raised, like the buttons not working with music after you get a call. Do the volume buttons work, and how is the sound quality? Lastly, how bad is it on the battery?
Thanks in advance.

i think i will give it a try, the only thing that worries me is the fact that i would have another thing to charge. I was also thinking about soldering a headphone jack into the standard htc remote that came with the phone. i will keep you up to date.
cheers,

these look interesting, i've been thinking about looking for some headphones with music controls too...
how is the sound quality with the jabra bt3030, is it just as good as having headphones plugged into the phone?
does running bluetooth hammer the phone battery?
yea i like the look of it, the ability to skip tracks without whipping ur phone out seems great. that always annoyed me with the iphone.. but as i listen to music for hours on end at work (Without a charger handy), i wanna know how much the BT will effect battery life?
id imagine it would decline pretty quickly ?
I have a Jabra BT 3030 which I used extensively with my G1 because I hated carrying around a MiniUSB to audio jack lead.
However I haven't even tried it with my Desire, like someone said its just another thing you need to remember to charge, and as the Desire has a headphone socket (and a micro usb) it would mean carry two leads, or an adaptor to keep them both charged.
That said the Jabra has a fairly decent battery life as long as you remember to turn it off when your not using it.
The sound quality is perfectly acceptable for listening to music unless your a real audiophile, though its obviously not as good as a direct connection to the phone.

Heh. Arrowed.
I use a pair of Sony DR-BY20NX Bluetooth headphones with my desire. headphone battery life is 11hrs.it also has audio controls and can answer call.
fairly cheap but discontinued and becoming hard to find. well worth it though.

If you guys want a good pair of headphones that dont cost the earth and sound as good as phones twice as expensive then look no further then this

I was in CPW last week and the guy who was serving me also had a desire, he was using the Nokia Bh-214 (iirc), its a bluetooth remote with a 3.5mm plug. I tried it out and it sounded good, it has full controls including volume. Its around £40 and available
Also, I have been searching about and found the Sony MW-600 its a bluetooth remote with a 3.5 mm jack, it also comes with headphones and has a built in FM radio. Also has full controls, its around £40 and not out till May.
Personally I am going to wait till the Sony one is out, it has positive reviews and i trust Sony more when it comes to music and the like. Just annoying having to wait!
I am using a cheap BT A2DP, and it works very well. It can be used as BT handsfree or stereo earphone, also has a remote to skip and back the track, that works fine in TuneWiki (but it not for HTC player). The quality of the sound is still far below my KOSS earphone though... but for 26USD and free delivery that thing is really a good deal.
This is the link, but I just found out that is sold out at this moment.

They have another one, almost the same spec but I don't know whether it works as good as the other one.

Weren't people complaining about bluetooth?

I got a new stereo system for my car with bluetooth built in and was worried it wouldn't work well with my One X judging from all the complaints. Needless to say it works flawlessly. The audio quality is the same as direct AUX input and it just worked. What were all the complaints about bluetooth about?

The problems I had was that bluetooth would randomly disconnect occasionally, and sometimes when I started the car it just wouldn't connect. The random drop outs didn't happen often but it did happen. I have two other Android phones that do not have this problem. I haven't had any drop outs since I updated though so it may be fixed.
That's crazy. Mine has worked flawlessly so far. Has anyone else not had any problems?

I would guess that HTC has certified A2DP on your new stereo? What model did you get? On my Sony mex-bt2800 (bought it about 3 or 4 years ago) when I pair my One X there is no Acoustic Profile for it on HTC's bluetooth stack so the phone defaults the bitpool to 32 bits causing the tinny sound you can really hear it on Cymbals sounds like your listening to a 96kbps mp3. On the AOSP Rom's like CyanogenMod they use the bluez bluetooth stack which uses a higher bitpool of 53 giving me perfect playback on my stereo.
That's basically what all the hub bub is about. If you tell me what stereo you got I may just go get me one myself so I can get this issue behind me.

Interesting, I only listen to podcasts over A2DP in the car. I have a Kia Soul 2012 with the Microsoft based UVO infotainment system. I haven't noticed any issues but I might not since as I said it's most ly podcasts. I'm going to try and push some music on it tomorrow and see how it good it sounds.

With my experience, it depends on the car or head unit manufacturer. Some function better than others. Some play with smartphones better than others.

Holy ****, i need your device info!
I work at an electronics store and have access to a cde133bt, its one of the stereos I tested my phone on.
The results are the same i've had on every other stereo, it starts to cut out after moving not even 15 feet away.
It's so bad in fact, that if i am standing right next to the stereo and I put myself between the phone and the stereo, it drops instantly.
Emailed/Called HTC, no response or solution.
Can you post what carrier youre on, android version, software version, custom roms(?), have you flashed or updated your phone with anything?

AT&T One X. Unrooted and on stock firmware. I got the stereo today and didn't change a thing on it. Simply turned my car on, paired my One X to it, and enjoyed that lossless bluetooth audio.

Bluetooth hooked up to my pioneer avic bt130 easily. sounds amazing (slacker,tune in, spotiffy, audio galaxy) with hertz audio mille components front and rear and 2 12w6s in the trunk. Jl hd 600/4 f/r and hd 1200 on the subs. I sometimes forget and think I'm on iPod (aac 256 & losless) input. Dumped all my mp3s..even the 320 bit rate. Used iTunes to convert everything with its best quality settings. Can't tell a difference from lossless. I love tha car mode with tune in. All though it would be better if I could choose the app. Have occasionally lost connection though. Not so much it's made me cuss yet.
Hox Bluetooth works crap with Cadillac SRX 2012, which was able to pair beautifully with the Dell streak 5 phone !
The OP seems incredulous or amazed that just because he paired with one stereo, and it works, that other people are reporting issues? Pretty broken logic. There are hundreds of different car stereo head units (not to mention many more hundreds of Bluetooth headsets, headphones, speakers, and other audio accessories) made by dozens of manufacturers all trying to make their units compatible with a slew of different phones. The Bluetooth standards seem loose at best, and its a bit like the wild west. As a previous reply noted, it completely depends on the brand and model of car stereo, some work better than others with the One X. And a stereo that works fine with one phone, may not work well with another.
Mine typically works well once paired, and sounds good (although once in a while it connects media only, no phone; or the skip controls on the car stereo do not work). But it does not auto-connect when I get back into the car. Its a pretty basic Bluetooth function that it should auto connects to a paired device, once it senses that device is within range and powered on. A look at the system files shows that Subaru stereo head units (as well as other car manufacturers) are blacklisted from auto connecting on the One X's Bluetooth stack.
I installed a new car stereo over the weekend that has bluetooth and my HOX connects and sounds great with it. But, like others the phone wont auto connect when I start the car. If I use the power control widget on my phone to turn off bluetooth and turn it back on it connects within seconds. Whats weird though is that both the phone and stereo will say its connected, but no audio will be played through the stereo until I turn the bluetooth off then on again on the HOX.
To be honest, this is not really a big deal to me because I only turn bluetooth on when I get in the car. So when I start the car and then I turn on bluetooth it connects fine. As long as I dont have bluetooth on before I start the car.
2010 Dodge Charger SRT8. The phone wouldn't connect no matter what I tried. I was going to wait for other roms to see if they could fix it, but the phone just caused me too many problems. It went back to best buy and I went back to a iPhone 4S and Lumia 900. Both of which work with my stereo perfectly.
Mine connects just fine to both my cars (a new Toyota Sienna and an old BMW with an aftermarket BT retrofit module). But it won't connect to my Motorokr headphones.
As someone said, this stuff is all over the map. It's not just HTC.
you only get lossless with bluetooth if you have the htc stereoclip.

[Q] Car audio USB support and equipment

I've spent the past few hours searching for an answer to these questions but haven't found anything clear. My aux/FM transmitter connection in my 2006 hyundai recently bit the dust and instead of spending money to fix a sub-par audio connection I'd rather just buy a new radio with a USB input for superior sound quality. I'm an audiophile so sound quality is pretty important to me and I haven't been happy with my mp3 player audio in my car since I had a ipod connection in my previous car years ago.
My question is: Can anybody point me in the direction of a decently priced car radio w/ a USB port that they know the Atrix 2 (with ICS) will work with? My phone is unrooted and I just got the ATT ICS upgrade OTA yesterday. I don't mind having to download any app to work with the radio as long as it successfully plays music through the USB, but I don't want to have to root my phone. Any assistance/info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
