Blue Ant Q2 - Galaxy Note II Accessories

This has probably been covered if so I apologize. I did a search and couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I purchased a Q2 for my Note 2 because it said it would read the contacts names but it doesn't. Blue Ant just told me it's a phone issue with the S3's and Note 2's. Are there any out there that are compatible. I'm not looking for a stereo set. I have one that I love when I'm walking and listening to music. (That doesn't read the contract either but I dint care on this set) And at this point money is not an issue. I just want the bells and whistles! Any help is appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

I use the plantronics voyager legend with the vocalist app reads the contacts and lets you answer or deny with your voice
Needless to say it works great for me

Thank you for your response. I ended up returning it and getting the q3. It reads the income caller id right out of the box. When I voice call its using the S voice. So now I'm going to g have to get used to that. I need to check the settings but doesn't tell me who I'm dialing until it's actually dialing. It will ask me "which number", but I have to assume I have the right one if I am not looking at the phone. We will see. More playing tomorrow.

Would this Pen be a good Galaxy Note 2 companion?

I came across this a few days ago. Its the HM5100 BT S Pen from Samsung. Im really interested in it but since it was only a parting gift for attendees at one of Samsung's events, its limited availability and I see it selling for almost $200 on ebay. I'm wondering...is its worth that much?

It's also a Bluetooth mic and speaker, multipurpose. I can see it being valued at $200. Worth that much is debatable.
117$ shipped
Original Note 2 S-Pen costs 32 euro in the Netherlands, available in white and grey.
This is for 10.1..i have the normal s pen with eraser for note 10.1 which i try to use it on note 2..i found when drawing or write something, its off set a little bit..i even try original S pen 10.1 in its slot..same result..off set..not convinient when writing something..idk if S pen with bluetooth is same off set..it looks like s pen for note 2 is different

I know. I got a lot of info on it and I'm just about pushed to get it but I don't want to be disappointed with the usability at that price.
Oh yeah...

Thanks. I didn't think of that. I don't see any option to calibrate it either. I may have to look into this some more before I pull the trigger.

I've seen on other sites that Samsung will most likely release this pen for purchase as well. The good packaging also leads me to believe this might be true. I like the idea of the bigger pen, but the phone call feature seems kind of pointless. 130 seems a bit high though... Also seems like sort of a burden unless there is a case you can store it in as well, otherwise just another component to bring with you.
Speaking on the topic of pens!
I have a couple all-white, axiotron pens from using it with my ASUS EP121 tablet. I noticed that they work in a similar fashion as the SPen does but one thing that they do that the SPen does not is an erase feature! I can flip around the pen and use the other side to erase what I have drawn but the SPen can't do that... I tried to use the link to find the pens that I bought but the link is not working anymore!
Just a heads up, that there are pens out there that can give you an easy 'erase' feature if you're using the device for a lot of drawing/sketching.

There are videos on it. I didn't see them mention any thing on this type of function so my assumption is no

No. No notification features. I think I might have it already if it included those features.

For that amount of money it's NOT worth it to me.
I'd just get a regular BT headset and go hands free. and use the SPen built into my phone.
Just got one!
I just received mine! I'm currently in Europe, so I got it from Amazon Germany for about 55 Euros, which s still cheaper than the cheapest order possibility in the states.
Anyway, I bought it for my Note 10.1 3G, but since that has been borrowed by the GF, I just paired it with my Note 2. Paired fine, calls seem OK,
However, the S Pen part won't work on my Note 2 when my original S Pen is attached to the phone. Only when I remove my factory S Pen, then the BT S Pen works on the screen.
Anyone else have this problem? If yes, were you able to find a workaround?
I want to be able to use the BT S Pen without having to detach the original one - seems ridiculous that it won't work like this.

Skype's latest mod is terrible!

Hello folks, got a rooted 4.2 32gig Nexus 7. Love it, and I've really enjoyed using Skype with it. And then...the latest update...
Can anyone suggest how I might down rev this version of Skype?
Any assistance will be most appreciated.

Do you not make and keep backups? I use titanium for that sorta of thing! I'm sure you'll find prev version if you use google?

Being that it's a free app, I'm sure you can find an older apk online.

Hi, just thought I would hijack this thread.
I use Skype a lot on my Nexus 7. Whenever a call is incoming, the device wakes up and I take the call.
However, I recently got a nice wrap around case for the nexus with a magnet that wakens the device when I open it, and sleeps it when I close it. Now though, whenever a Skype call comes in, it only rings once and then "hangs up" on the dialer (showing as "no answer" on their side).
Apart from making sure the cover is always open, is there anyway of stopping Skype from rejecting calls when the cover is closed?
Thanks a mill
That sounds like something you may want to send to them as feedback or something. I have Skype but no smart case to test this myself.

Mic fades/distorted

Has anyone else got complaints from the person on the other end of their call that we sound either really far away or distorted? I seem to get it allot and different locations.

Yep....i stopped caring at this point...
Try disabling voice privacy. Settings>Calls>Voice privacy. I'm using an EVO LTE so it might be different or might not

1- Watch that your pinky finger doesn't accidentally move over the microphone while you're holding it.
2- Check this out: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2262648
I currently have the team at HTC interested in this. The problem is their noise cancellation may be picking up your voice for just a moment while you switch ears, or move... then for up to 30 seconds, your voice is considered "background noise" and is filtered out mostly.
This frequency cut gives the impression that you're far away or in a tunnel. I'll update the main thread when I hear back definitively what their findings were, and if there will be a fix.
Workaround for now, is talk very consistently (don't alter volumes) and watch your positioning; don't talk to where the back of the phone could pick you up.

Does S3 Mini have voice to text features?

Hi,
Does the S3 Mini have voice dictation out of the box, where you just hold the little mic symbol on the keyboard, speak and it will convert your voice into text?
I'm looking at getting one of these for my Dad and wanted to check as he wants this feature
Hope you can help

Well, mine did I tried it a couple of times, but nothing I use on a regular basis.

Netflix voice out of sync.

I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue with their G Flex and if there is a simple fix? The voice is just a hair off, mostly when using any blutletooth ear piece or headset. It is even off a tiny bit when it's coming through then internal speaker.
It may be me being a little OCD, but it's driving me nuts and never had these issues with any other phones. Just recently switched from a Note 2.
Is it a weaker blue tooth in this or something else?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I haven't noticed anything, I'll try pairing my phone to my Bluetooth speaker tonight and see if I have the same issue.

It's only on Netflix though, so hopefully you have a subscription. It don't happen on anything else but Netflix. Wonder if I should try contacting them about it.
YouTube works fine, movies downloaded work fine... I don't get it.

I've seen this via Bluetooth with both my Noisehush and Arctic headsets. Only while watching Netflix.

This is happening to me as well and is annoying. It's like watching a old karate movie. Lol. As of now I just use my wired headphones.

It's only with this phone and only with Netflix. Wife and daughter have G2's and they are perfect. Wonder why Netflix don't play nice with the Flex? Hopefully it is just a bug fix, but enough of us need to complain.
If not fixed, gonna trade this phone in sooner than anticipated.
Watch a lot of Netflix.

I called Netflix and they were no help at all. T-Mobile tech women Alana was very nice and made a trouble ticket. She's calling me back Monday morning. She told me to call LG. I called LG and spoke to a guy named Nizo and he wasn't that helpful but said he will forward it to a higher up tech deapartment. He aked if I had a LG headset and then said it could be connection problems. I was about to say I'm not with Sprint anymore. lol I told him 20 people on xda are having the same issue with different bluetooth headsets. I told him that they will all be calling him so do it. I ended the conversation telling him one of the reasons whey I got the LG Flex is because of the Netflix promo and if the problem isn't fixed quickly then I might get another manufactures phone.
My Samsung wired headphones don't have the issue.
T-Mobile - 1-877-453-1304
LG - 1-800-793-8896
Seems to just be with Netflix for me. Both the WWE network and YouTube play nice with both headsets i have.
