[Q] Bluetooth static with Acura Hands Free Link - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an HTC One on Sprint. When I connect via bluetooth audio (which Acura calls "Hands Free Link") to my 2009 Acura TSX, I get constant short pops/cracks in the audio. This has not been the case (or I have simply not noticed it) with phone calls.
My HTC EVO 4G LTE worked quite well when playing music over bluetooth in the car. Same with an iPhone 4 (it actually had the best quality of all three).
My One also works well with other bluetooth devices. It only has trouble with the Acura.
Is my phone defective? Ideally, I'd like to test another HTC One in my car to help determine this. I know 4.2 has a new bluetooth stack, so that gives me some hope, too.

Same thing here with a JBL flip BT speaker.

Static Acura
My galaxy S3 does this with my 2013 tsx... Kinda pisses me off..Let me know if you find a fix

When I got my new MDX 2013 Model 2 weeks ago, the agent did state that not all phones will work completely perfect with their hands free system, only certain certified phones for Acura... Maybe this might be the problem, i don't konw.

[Q] Serious BT stereo problem

Hello everybody!
I bought myself an Incredible S yesterday. Though to my surprise I'm having issues with the bluetooth quality with my stereo handsfree; Sony Ericsson MW600. Whenever I'm at the higher sound levels, every sound is accompanied with a clinging static which is VERY annoying. Now, I have used these stereo hansfrees with numerous other phones; Xperia X10, iPhone 4, Xperia Arc and.... HTC Legend. It worked flawlessly with all of those phones (yes, I've had quite a few phones the last 12 months). And since it worked so great with HTC Legend, one might wonder why it works worse on a phone released almost 12 months later (huge time difference).
I'm going to visit my shop that I bought the unit from. They have a demo unit of the incS. So I hope really badly my phone is DOA.
I had the problem in android 2.2 and now also in 2.3.
Now please, if anyone of you have the MW600 or if you wish to comment, then please do so! I appreciate all the help I can get in this issue. For your information HTC customer support didn't lift a finger to help me. This is all Incredible!
I'm using MW600 aswell and haven't experienced any issues with the sound quality.
It worked fine with Froyo and it is working fine with Gingerbread.
The only issue I have is that the SRS enhancement or presets don't work with the Bluetooth headset.

Very interesting. I just visited my local shop and I tested my MW600 with another incredible S, DHD and Desire S. All of them had the issue. Nevertheless it was again perfect audio when I used the 3.5mm jack. The sound through the MW600 should be identical to the 3.5mm. But it was way of. You should also test your phone. Try listening to music with about 2/3 of sound level and then through the 3.5mm jack. There's a significant difference. Nevertheless I ditche my incS and chose an Xperia Arc. There's no issues with that unit.

All phones with HTC Sense have a poor bluetooth stack implementation. HTC doesn't use the default Android Bluez. They use an old broadcom bluetooth stack.
I'm hoping at least one of these recent Incredible S roms can implement the Bluez bluetooth stack.

Now that explains alot! But it wasn't like this with Legend, and I see people who complain about Desire which was released about the same time. Maybe you should exploit that somehow?
How it yet goes, I will keep my way out of HTC's path with Bluetooth until they fix it.

Stereo Bluetooth Headset

I recently rediscovered Pandora and I also found iHeartRadio. I found my favorite morning radio show on one of the stations. Sadly I haven't found my favorite local station that has the morning show. I work off and only catch part of it on Mondays while driving out of town. These with the Nexus S are awesome.
I'm clueless on Bluetooth headsets. I discarded the ear buds or disregarded them actually and used them for the first time this weekend after using a pair from the Galaxy S last week. Those hurt my ears but the NS ones I used last night were pretty comfortable and was even able to sleep on my side.
So on to the wants...
Price: 50 or less. Maybe more if you can provide a very good reason.
Sound Quality: I can't tell the difference between CD and MP3 so they don't have to be great, good will do.
Volume Control: I really want this on there. I'm going to need to hear people speaking to me while I'm listening to music, but I'm going to need to turn up the volume when I take a call.
Multiple Phones: I have the Nexus S as my personal phone but I'm a foreman at work and have a BB Curve that the company provides me. It would be pretty sweet if it would answer both phones. The BB rings more often. This would be the very good reason I mentioned above.
Charging: I'm not sure how this works on BT devices. Educate me.
Comfort: This is key for me. I'd hate to waste my money on something I'll put on a shelf and look at. Like I said the buds that came with the Nexus S are comfortable to me but I've never liked a pair that were like the ones in the Galaxy S.
I just did this same search. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find anything that supported A2DP for less than $80 (Canadian). I went with a BlueAnt T1, primarily because it has an Android app that does Text to Speech for SMS. Pretty happy with it, aside from the price.
I was in the same need as the OP but I've found the sollution in the Sony Ericsson MW600 BT headset. The sound quality is excellent, loud and clear, it has built-in FM radio which works very well and it can be paired with 3 devices at once. It also has volume control, play/pause, fwd and rew buttons on it.
You can use you favorite set of headphones with this little gadget .. I highly recommend it.
Went with the Sony Ericsson. Thanks for the suggestions. Should be here by next weekend or later. Free shipping for the win!
Maybe these might be something your looking for. I personally have them they have good sound have volume control, track skipping and phone button to take calls. Quality is ok, not as nice as some other headsets but not bad for the price. http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-S9-H...R0BW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1318213100&sr=8-1
Looks like you made a decision already, but one I totally recommend is the Motorola S305. Its similar to the suggestion in the above post, but with better reviews. If anybody else is looking for some good Bluetooth headphones, check these out.

I've also used for about 2 years ,w/o any complain, the Nokia BH-503 - http://www.amazon.com/Nokia-BH-503-Stereo-Headset-Black/dp/B001DEWSWA
The only downside of those headsets is that you can not use them in a business enviroment or while driving so you will need a second BT device for those situations. That was the main reason I've sold the nokia one and bought the SE MW-600 ... it is meant for general usage (and for the FM radio ).

Hi, I' looking for a wireless headset for gim use (running on the tapis roulant etc...)
Do you think this Sony Ericson can be used for this?
As long as you can clip it to some clothing it should work great. It is very very light so it should stick nice for any activity.
I'm using it also for mountain biking and it never fell off ... not even when I'm going downhill.
Bought it
Rocketfish all the way !

Bluetooth handsfree. What do you use?

I am getting insanely busy with work and I am considering getting a bluetooth earpiece. I have always been against them as I find they look plain stupid on people but I guess wearing one in the office wouldnt be so bad.
Heres the thing. If I am going to wear a headset. I would want one I can use with my nexus S and my computer (which runs a mix of google talk and Skype)
Is there any that you reccomend could do this or am I dreaming?
I was looking at the Jawbone line of units but wow are they ever pricy!
Anything else thats good?
maybe u can try jabra? i think its a decent one
Mercedes Benz GLK 350. Works perfect!
I use the official Sony PS3 headset, works fine.
Just get a jabra icon and don't sweat it

Plantronics Bluetooth headset is also good, but if you don't want to use headset you can try Bluetooth speaker like the monster iclarity works just fine
Hy, for sports i use nokia bh 503, which are very comfortable. For everday usage i have nokia bh 214 paired with some old sonyericsson earbuds, best combo that i tested so far;-) And while driving i have plantronic k100. All these work without problems on ics i9023.

Recommendations for BT headset

Been looking a BT headset and not really sweet ng anything good. I'd really prefer not a single earpiece but that seems to be the only ones with a mic. Any suggestions on headsets?

No mic on it. I doubt the phone will pick up voice from a pocket or will it?
The one I have now is just loose in the ear just turning my head it almost falls out.

Didn't see it in the picture, it's hidden well then. The headset looks nice the only downside was no mic, but since it has one, it may be one I order.
Se mw600 ftw
I have the Sony MW600 as well and it is indeed nice, especially since you can use any IEMs with it.
Lately I have been mulling over the upgrade to the newly released MW1 but there seems to be compatibility issues with the microSD slot built into it.

i am thinking about getting a pair of these
LG Tone HBS-700
My favorite headset and I think I tried them all. Awesome battery life (10+ hours music playback), comfortable wear, hardware on/off, standard micro USB charging, vibrating call indicator, quality microphone, it beats all the other headphones I have. Currently $47 on Amazon.
I found the MW600 unusable because of its incomprehensible user interface, tiny controls that are easy to hit by mistake, fragile clip, unreadable display.
I also have a Motorola Sports and a Plantronics 603 which seem to share the same electronics and the same flaw: they sometimes refuse to power on even though fully charged, and sometimes lose their charge even when plugged in. To me that makes them completely useless if I can't count on them being ready when I need them.
Most others, like the Jabra Clipper, would almost be perfect if it weren't for their lousy battery life (5h playback on a good day).
The LG Tone could only be improved by making the earbuds interchangeable.
Yup, The best one. I already ordered one. The white version looks beautiful too.

I've had a pair of these for over a year and I love them -- best BT headphones I've ever had.
I use a Rocket fish behind-your-head BT headphones which has a mic. Bought them a year ago for $50 and they show zero signs of wear.
Oh, and they are go over your ear, not IN them...which always gives me a massive headache in under 10 minutes of use. These I can wear for hours on end with no pain
Best headphones ever.

Does your LG HBS-700 work with your Nexus 7?
Mine pairs, but when I try to play spotify, plex, etc., I don't get sound.
I have an og Evo 4G and when I run Jelly Bean based ROMs, the headset works for phone calls, but not for spotify, music, or anything other media.
I'm beginning to wonder if it is a compatibility issue with Jelly Bean.
Otherwise, I'm a big fan of the headset.

Cheap enough and good enough to take a chance.
I have the P311 and they are excellent for the price.

Are you taking about the RF-MAB2? If so, ditto. Works perfectly with all my devices, including the N7. I tried a similar Motorola and Sony. It's only a store brand but they are more comfortable and sound better than the others.

[Q] Low Bluetooth Distance

I have several BT headphones and three Logitech BT receivers connected to active loud speakers. With my previous phones (Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Samsung SII, HTC Desire HD) I could bridge distances up to 10 meters including in other rooms without problems
Whereas with my new HTC One in a distance more than 1 meter I get outages and with more than 3 meters the bluetooth connection is dropped at all. Maybe this has to do with the unibody in general or is just my phone not working as expected?
Do you have similar experiences?

I have the same problem. It's a bit disappointing. We can only hope it's a software issue.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
It has definitly to do with WiFi switched on. If it is off, everything works fine as expected.
Sometimes (I haven't understood the logic), you can switch WiFi on again after connecting to your bluetooth device and it works perfect.
Turned WiFi off. Works like a charm now.
