[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.

[Q] Stock headset

Okay, so i was out the other day and relised i had lost my original headphones while i was out. I use headphones daily and couldn't live without them.
Question is does anyone stock the original Samsung Headset with the PTT(push to talk) button on it? or maybe another manufacturer that works with the Ace.
Preferably I'm looking for standard rather than the in-ear pair.
Thanks in advance!

I've tested it with an original headset from LG (LG optimus one). And worked!
Maybe you should try buy a new one and test it before you actually buy it.

the pinout of samsung's stock headset is universal, you may use it on iPod, HP 4-pole audio+mic jack and in others, but not on nokia. nokia headsets follow a different pinout pattern, swapping ground to mic+shield. well, I did successfully converted a nokia headset to a universal one.
wait, I was lost there, but still, samsung's 3.5mm jack is universal. only nokia is an exception. hehehe. you may use any headset except for old iPod headsets and nokia headsets. iPod 4, iPhone 4 and newest ipods have the universal jack pinout configuration that shares with almost all of handsets.

Thanks for the replies guys. Done a bit of digging around and found a user on eBay selling original headsets for £3

I tried my old Sony Ericsson headset and the sound was so distorted. It was like the speakers were rattleing although the sound was so quiet...
anyways, as mentioned before, i've found a set on ebay and a reasonably good price of £2.20
Not sure if i'm allowed to link to ebay pages but here goes...

If I had a pound for every time i saw something sold as genuine on Ebay

We'll see what happens when they come, if they function properly ect... then at the end of the day i'm not fussed

Just got the set through this morning... Seems like stock, build quality is as good as my original, sounds is ok. and the button functions. So £2.20 well spent...
Thanks for your help guys

B&W P5 headphones don't work with my Z1

Hello, i have a big problem with my Z1, my Bowers & Wilkins P5 headphones dosen't work anymore with my Xperia Z1, it worked before, but for approximatly one week it dosen't work anymore.
Other headphones work with my Z1, and my P5 works with other phones (tried with Nokia X and Galaxy S3).
If someone have the solution, it will be great, thank you

Just all of a sudden they stop working with the phone. They work on everything else and other earphones work on my phone. I have cleaned the jack and still no joy.

[Q] Which headsets work with the Mi 5?

So I've had the Mi 5 for over a month now and I've been using a Samsung headset which worked fine (the volume controls don't seem to function correctly in Resurrection Remix). However I bought a Sony headset yesterday (MDREX450AP) and the earphones don't seem to work with the phone, however the headset button does work. Has anyone else come across anything similar, has anyone tried Apple earbuds with the Mi 5? Just for the record, I'm not looking to get Apple earbuds but I'm looking on Amazon and the headsets for Apple phones seem to be cheaper than the ones for Samsung/Android.
Thanks in advance,
Aaron

I also have the NC31E, what a pity there's no more support for those. NC worked perfectly on my XZ Premium.
Now I'm using some cheap JBL's in-ear. They are confortable and the quality is good, for some radio-podcasts and phone calls they just work fine!
