Does any one object to this tone/beep they have forced on us?
I had the D2 and returned it for the D3 because of this beep. Only to discover that it too has the beep.
It seems to occurs on all call methods on the D2,D2G and the D3 but the tone (via BT) on my ear is just too much for me.
It also seems that all the Moto Droids make the tones but only the D2,D2G and the D3 pass them to BT.
I can only reckon that the dev team(s) for the DX, Dx2 and the Dpro made sure the beep did not get passed to BT, as all these are quite. The D2, D2g and the D3 all make the beep.
I have just returned the D3 for the DX2(sad as I love the D3 otherwise). I also got to MOTO level 3 support and demo'ed the beep to them over the land line by putting the BT earbub to the phone mic. I is logged and it may get fixed?? They said the Dev teams review all 3rd level complaints.
Does any one have a clue on how to hack a rooted Droid(2,2G or3) to maybe place a silent tone in its place OR use the fixed BT files from the Droid(X,X2 or PRO) phones?
Just so you know, the beep you hear at the end of your calls on your bluetooth headset, is made by your bluetooth. its not the phone.
The phone has something to do with it. I get annoyed by the really loud beep as well. Didn't have this problem using the same headset with my old droid. It would beep on the old phone, but at least it was the same volume level.
On the 3, its much much louder.
I also have this problem, and it doesn't have anything to do with the headset. I have my phone paired with my car and with a separate bluetooth headset and get beeps on both. On my previous HTC TouchPro 2 I had no beeps on either.
If anyone knows how to turn this off I'd greatly appreciate it as the beep is extremely loud in my car.

There 3 pgs of em.
I had to DL them all to compare them.
The d3 is the loudest with the x2 close to it.
I LOVE the D3, I wish I could hack the BT files.
I am rooted on the x2 prerootedGB btw.
No fix, but to complain to moto

Would anyone care to try This:
https://market.android.com/details?id=cri.sanity
to see if it could be a "workaround" to the "end of call beep"?
In the menu of the free version there is a handsfree option > silent end call.

Ahemmm
Now that the D3 has root could the Beep be silenced with a hack?

Greetings all,
I have read through the forums for days, done countless google & forum searches, & played with my registry inside & out, all to no avail.
Now for the question I need help with.
Is there any way to get the phone call bt audio to transmit to both BT headset speakers? I am using the Kaiser (Tilt Version) with the Motorola S90 stereo BT Headset (Which is nice BTW) & while I can get great stereo movies & radio, the phone calls are all mono to the left ear. I've tried looking at the media BT registry profile & the phone call registry profile & have made some changes again to no avail.
Anyone figured out how to simulate stereo for phone calls & get the audio over to both channels?
Any help is appreciated & will be reciprocated somehow! RS
Might be a function of the headset itself. I have the Moto S9 too. I like it but it gets uncomfortable for extended periods of time. Plus only gets calls in one ear, hence it's sometimetime hard to hear the caller. I recently picked up the Sony DR-BT21G, and although the Motos sound a little better, the Sonys get phone calls in stereo and have up to 11 hours battery life (to the Motos 6-7), and are much more comfortable for long periods.
So now I use the Motos just for working out, and the Sony's during the day at work.

Just received my Sony Ericsson HBH-DS980 Stereo Bluetooth Headset. It's being charged up right now. I'll let everyone know hows the sound quality tonight.
Paid: 99.99 + 5.95 Shipping = 105.94
Edited: Here is what i have experienced with this unit.
Here are the Specs: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/hbh-ds980?cc=&lc=
Sound: Great Clarity and rich Bass( Sounds like your in a car thats equipped with Sound System)
Range: Since it is Bluetooth Version 2.0 , it has better range than any other bluetooth headset Version 1.2. ( My previous Stereo Bluetooth by LG HBS-110 was V1.2. While listening to music, it got cut off when i went into another room, and came back on when it was in line of sight.) On the Sony Ericsson, it was cutting off a little bit but not completely off, and can go farther than like the LG)
so far thats with the Music portion. Still have to play around with it more to see whats great about it.
Mind me asking where you ordered your ds980 from?

I think Sony DR-BT Serie is better. Its more a Headset for Bluetooth MP3 Player. They have better DA-Converter inside. I use in the moment ... DR-BT50.

i've been using the Sony DR-BT10CX for the past few months and am very pleased with the sound quality i am receiving. i am having two major problems that i do not know how to fix:
1. every time i go to connect the headset to the phone, i have to go into the bluetooth settings, uncheck the boxes a) wireless stereo and b) headset, then save those changes. then i have to go back into the settings and re-check the boxes and save. - this is a nightmare of an issue, when the headset should simply connect automatically when turned on.
2. making calls is fine, but when a call is received it does not answer through the headset, but through the phone. pointless if you are driving for example...
if anyone knows how i can fix this, i'd love to hear a solution...
MBR-100 Sony/Ericson stereo receiver
I'm using the MBR-100 Sony/Ericson stereo receiver to stream music to me car stereo via 3.5mm input cable and to me earbuds when I am riding on my motorcycle. It connects quickly, sounds good and lasts about a week between charges. I only commute about an hour a day. I got it for $80 at Fry Electronics. I have seen a few of them ob ebay as well.
HT820 + Telus P3050 Touch
I have the Motorola HT820 on a Telus Touch P3050 Vogue and it is very good. I am pleased with my choice.
Sadly I must say stay away from the BlueAnt X5's...horrid sound quality. It seems that the sony's have good sound quality, at least as good as a wired buds that are included. The X5's are much worse. Less spatial seperation, more "muddy" sound, just not good.
Everything I've heard and read about the Jawbone BT headset says that it's a very high quality unit, with excellent noise reduction/cancellation properties. I'll be getting one when I save up some pennies. (10,000 pennies to go!)
i'm using the BlueAnt Z9 with the new 3.4 firmware update and, for me, it's loud and clear with the Vogue. i actually have to turn it down...i have not had any complaints from others when using the headset. when i purchased the Z9 it had the 3.0 firmware and the volume was very acceptable to me. also, the 3.0 firmware allowed you to control the volume with the phone. with the 3.4 firmware, all volume is controlled by the headset.
Jawbone
I have the black jawbone best bluetooth I have used thus far and I have tested quite a few. connects flawlesly and quickly as soon as you turn it on and the noise cancelation that the jawbone is famous for actualy works
I have an old wep150 (samsung) I got it for another phone about a year and a half ago. Its sounds worse on the vogue than it did on my motorola phones. I hope to get a nice stero headset for listening to music and calls. I'm glad to hear the sound quality is good for these devices.
BT
I use the Jabra BT 5020 works awesome on my sprint (cdma) touch. Long life too.. I have always like the jabra products. You can also pair it with multiple devices. it has vibrate.
Timdawg
Just got the SE HBH-DS970 and it works pretty well. the call display only shows the number not the name unfortunetly. And My music tracks don't seem to show up on the screen. Any one else experience this?
I just got the new MOTOPURE H12 the other day and really like it. I got rid of the Jabra BT8010 because I felt like I had to yell into it. This new H12 is pricey at $129.00 but worth it because I am in the car alot. This thing is very small and very light. It comes with a cool desktop charger and carrying case that you can use as a charger also. Here is a link http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/h12/
Good question, CCRRAR!
Has anybody got a bluetooth to work with Voice Command??! The closest I've gotten has been with the Blue Ant Z9, I manage a RadioShack, and we just started carrying that unit. It is small, lightweight, comfortable, and very good volume. Better than almost any Motorola bluetooth re: volume. The plantronics are good volume as well, but a bit bulkier. But the Blue Ant actually recognizes Voice Command! The problem, like most, is it doesn't recognize the confirmation.
Very Frustrating!
Anyone found a fix? I've tried some that profess to be the "true fix" but no luck.

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
http://www.motorola.com/motoinfo/product/details.jsp?globalObjectId=152
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.
http://www.motorola.com/motoinfo/product/details.jsp?globalObjectId=177
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.

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?
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/overview/hbh-ds220?cc=ca&lc=en
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.
Lbt-hp210c2bk
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...
I picked up a Vivid over the weekend and overall I'm thrilled. The only area that is lacking is BT quality when paired with my car stereo (Pioneer AVIC-Z110 updated to the Z130 firmware). Granted, these units have gotten bad reviews for their BT quality, HOWEVER, my old device worked well. I used to have an HTC "Pure" running Windows Mobile and got no complaints for call quality.
My wife now says that this phone is echoing really badly. I can't hear it on my end, all sounds well. When I disable BT and just call her directly from the handset, all is well.
Are there any tweaks or settings that can be changed in Android and on the Vivid specifically? I read about someone adjusting the "BT gain" before they paired their device, but I can't find such a setting.
Thanks,
-Brett.
+1 on this. My stereo has a Mic volume adjust that helps a little, but it seems to be bad when I'm on the highway. Though I've always had this problem with Android. my old windows 6.5 phones were just fine.
Another Solution
Instead of using BT for music from my phone, I just hit the Sirius/XM button on the sound system, or plug my iPod directly into the sound system. Of course, I had to buy a new vehicle to get this capability.
PS: The Vivid does work well via BT for hands-free phone calls, also built into the new vehicle.

I re-read my first post and realized I might not have been as clear as I could be. I'm speaking strictly about phone call quality, not BT audio streaming. I tried audio streaming once and it sounded OK, but that's not what I'm referring to here.
When talking on the phone using the Pioneer AVIC z110 as a BT headset the person that I'm calling reports a lot of echo on their end, to the point where it's almost unusable. Things sound mostly fine on my end.
So the question stands - are there any (hidden?) settings or adjustments that can be made on the Vivid, or in Android in general?
Thanks,
-Brett.
not to my knowledge, no adjustments. But if you're using your headset, have you used it on other phones without this problem? If there's an echo, it makes me think maybe the phone mic is active while it should be only the BT mic that is. Maybe try covering the phone mic with your thumb or something and ask the person on the other end if that does anything to take away the echo?
Yea I'm getting the same feedback about phone calls. Music quality is great except when I use navigation. My streak would lower music when it would speak instructions. My vivid doesn't.

I used the same BT setup on my old Windows Mobile phone with no complaints.
Maybe you're on to something. I had assumed that the phone would mute its internal microphone when connected to a BT device. Maybe that's not the case? I'll try covering the phone's mic and see if that makes a difference.
Thanks,
-Brett.
No luck. I tried both covering the Mic and taking the phone out of the car entirely. It made no difference in call quality.
Next step is to pair my wife's blackberry to the car and see if that works better. Need to determine if it's the phone or the car.

Sorry for being a smart-aleck. Actually, on a hand-free BT call last night I noticed a bit of an echo. I need to make some more calls to see if it continues. I never had that with the HD2 in 15 montrhs of use. Also, I noticed that the phone rings directly as well as through the car's sound system when I recieve a call. Again, I don't remember my HD2 doing that.
Minor update: I've found that it might be related to the Android Bluetooth in call volume setting. It seems like if I lower the volume during a call (via the volume rocker on the phone, not form the car's head unit) it helps with the echo problem. The problem is that this volume level resets itself to the max every time I pair with the car.
Is there any way to force Android to keep a lower volume level for the BT headset? I tried an app called Bluetooth Volume, but it didn't affect the BT Headset volume.
Thanks,
-Brett.
I'm having an interesting issue, and none of the things I've found on forum search seem similar. I recently replaced my XT1053 Dev Edition due to a cracked screen. I have an Apple Earpod headset the used to work fine for calls...that is, I never really bothered getting the buttons to work, but the headphones output audio just fine, and the mic worked in calls so I could leave my phone in my pocket.
However, recently with the new phone, I'm having an issue with the headset. Now the mic doesn't work on phone calls. Phone audio and music output fine. The other weird thing is that, if I'm listening to music and someone calls, and I pick up the call with the headset in (then find the mic doesn't work), I'll unplug the headset to use the phone regularly...but when I do, the phone defaults to speaker mode for some reason.
Not sure if this is (hopefully) an easy software fix, but if anyone has insights, I'd love to hear them. I don't think it is the headphones, as they work in my wife's iPhone just fine.
Not compatible with the X. Sorry. ?
According to this reddit thread the mic will work if you hold down the center button while plugging in.
http://www.reddit.com/r/MotoX/comments/1x31i1/headphones_with_mic_that_work/
Actually, the iPhone headset DID work fine on my last Moto X before I had to replace it. I was able to listen to music and make calls with it, and the mic worked. I'm wondering why it doesn't work anymore, if there's some software fix to it not working.
Well, a while back there was a lot of posts saying it didn't work. If it did or does, great.
Bottom line tho, if you plug it in and it works, awesome. If it doesn't, then it won't.
No software will help. ?

Hi,
I'm using a blackberry headset and having no issues with audio/mic. But I'm having the issue where the phone defaults to speakerphone mode when unplugging the headset in the middle of a call. This issue didn't go away with wipe cache partition, factory data restore and a warranty replacement!
BTW, i'm on stock XT1053...
