can anyone recommend a bluetooth receiver that works well with this phone?
I am looking for something I can plug my own headphones into... has its own mic... and controls that will work to skip tracks when listening to music.
A friend recommended me this

which is about 2 years old now... just wondering if anyone else uses anything else?
or even a wired one that controls the music and has a mic, but lets you use your own headphones.
Thanks
Hi
I have a set of Motorola S9 Bluetooth headphones, which also has a built in mic and music control keys. I was getting backgroud hiss issues with my Vario II, but I can confirm that these headphones work flawlessly with my Touch Dual.

hmmm was hoping for something i could use my own earphones with...
thanks though
The S9s are good and sound quality (at least on my old N73) was absolutely fantastic.
However, I couldn't recommend the Motos to anyone. I've had 3 of them, and they've all failed with exactly the same problem - all the controls have failed. They're supposed to be waterproof, and having used them down the gym whilst running, they couldn't cope with a small amount of sweat.
You could go for :

ahh... thats the one i ended up going for... hopefully arrive soon...
we must think alike haha
Sony Ericsson HBH-DS220
I ordered a Sony Ericsson HBH-DS220 from Ebay about a month ago and paid 60 USD - works really well for music, has full controls including call functions - even pauses music when you have an incoming call and you get to use your own headphones if you prefer - which is why I chose this set?
Here's the link - hope this helps?

just received my Sony Ericsson HBH-DS200 today...
I have to say I am disappointed.
In the description on the mobilefun website I think it said music browsing... I was expecting to be able to twist the thing (like on my old md players, etc) to be able to skip forward or backward.
I was also expecting a volume control, but there is none.
Other things that bug me...
- when phone is on standby mode, when you press play on the ds200 the phone turns on. I am not sure if this is because of my ROM (t-mobile uk) or because of the ds200. A mate of mine back in oz has the touch dual with the motorola mentioned above, and the screen doesnt switch on. Pretty annoying.
- when someone rings me... I thought that I would just hear the ring in my earphones... but my phone rings.
- when listening to music... it seems to cut out momentarily (half a sec) every once in a while. Not sure if most bluetooth audio things do this, since this is my first one.
On the positive side of things... when listening to music and you decide to call someone... it switches automatically and the mic seems to work alright with the earphones. But I guess this is something that I expect anyway.
Also it is a good size.

any one had try or tested this new logitec LBT-HP210C2BK??
I'm generally disappointed with the music playback on the Dual, either with the supplied headphones, or with my Jabra BT620s.
Pressing play on the Jabras doesn't always make the Dual start playing. Sometimes pressing play on the Dual, playback commences through the phone instead.
The momentary pause in the music seems to be a "feature" of the Dual though It does it both via wired and A2DP headsets.
Also, see what happens with incoming calls when you've got the bluetooth headset connected. Mine routes incoming calls through the phone, not the headphones.
And for those considering the S9HD - consider the price difference, and look at installing the SRS WOW HD software onto the Dual - probably does a similar job.

I have a DS220 and am generally satisfied with the sound quality for music playback but I do have one (rather major) problem: after phone calls (both incoming and outgoing) the phone drops the connection to my headset and I have to switch the headset off and then back on to reconnect. This is really irritating!

As I've said before, mine won't route incoming calls through the headset, makes it VERY dangerous whilst driving.

my dual occasionally, without notifying me, turns off bluetooth.. found out yet again today when i got a call in-car.
i can find no reason for this, but i sympathise...
Perhaps the title isn't the best, but I think this problem might be quite common. Most mobile phones and 99% of mp3-players have the ability to stop the music without taking it out.
With the Kaiser, I always look like an idiot when I take out my Kaiser out of the leather pocket and fight with all the cables just to stop playing music. Also with my headphones, if I press them, I'd expect them to stop/resume when pressed once, play the next song when pressed twice, instead it goes into sound recognition mode when i press the button.
So my question is, is there any:
- way/hack
- accessory
- software
that allows me to stop and resume playing music without taking out the phone?
bump.............................................!
there is wired remote control for htc devices called w100. it has media player and phone controls. i think there is also wireless (bluetooth) remote control availible. search for this under accessories here on xda and on htc's website.
Most A2DP bluetooth headsets will have forward/back buttons that you can configure to do this sort of thing.
thanks!
the kaiser supports the ad2p profile?
Kaiser handles ad2p just fine...grab a bluetooth headset and call it a day (I got a nextlink for about $25 on ebay shipped and am very happy with it and its 10-11 hours of continuous play time)
I am having a bit of difficulty with my XDA Ignito on O2 in the UK (which is basically a rebranded HTC Diamond), and I am just wanting to know if anyone else has had similar issues.
Using the Touchflo music player interface, the device will connect without a problem, however after the first track ends the bluetooth connection drops as the music player produces an Audiomanager.exe fault. I have to then re-select the music player and it will allow me to play another track but the same thing happens at the end of the track. Interestingly the Windows Media Player does exactly the same thing, dropping the bluetooth connection after one track and producing a wmplayer.exe fault.
I have tried installing a third party music player, Coreplayer with the result that it will play more than one track in a row and does not produce a fault of any kind, however the Parrot remote control does not advance or retard the tracks, or pause or restart the tracks.
I want to try to work out whether the fault lies with the Phone, the Phone software, or the Parrot carkit.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Hello fellow TD2 owners,
Has anybody used their TD2's BT Audio function, I have tryed it in my car that has a bluetooth audio stereo(sony), but I am disapointed at the sound quality. Just wondering if anybody else has had any luck using this with good sound quality? I get distored audio on all tracks and it gets bad when i turn volume up.
I was thinking that it could either be the HTC home player, or mabey need a equaliser.
Any thoughts?

I'm using my DR-BT50 every day, like I did with my Diamond and Polaris. No complaints whatsoever.
The only complaint I have in using a Sony DR-BT20NX is occasional short drop-outs. I also get occasional long 6-second drop-outs, but I get those when using wired headphones as well. I've ditched the TF3D music tab today and will start using Windows Media Player for playing MP3s to see if things improve. Sound-quality-wise, I have no issues at all.
hi peeps,
ive seached everywhere to look for an answer to this but couldnt solve it, so im finally asking the pros on here.
i have a milestone, rooted, 550mhz overclocked to 1gb 56vsl. firmware 2.1
anyways, i got the jabra 3030 bluetooth connector.
my issue is i like to use the excellent new audible app on my phone, anyways when i hit the play button on the bluetooth connection it will pause the audible app as its suppose to then starts the internal media player.
i dont use the internal media player on my machine, i have a few mp3 tracks that are used as ring tones and some podcasts. is there anyway to disable or stop the bluetooth connection turning on the media player?
the same thing happens when i also use my podcast catcher (doggcatchya).
I dont like the internal android player and wouldnt miss it if i could remove the program.
can anyone help as its driving me crazy, and really defeats the point of having a bluetooth media controller, i have to get my phone out everytime now to stop the media player.
thanks
roy
