[Q] Nexus S Dock

The only dock I could find on internet was this and it's available for preorder and looks great IMO. Anyone ordered from this company before?

Are you looking at the same website? They do worldwide free shipping so there is no 'plus shipping'. Also 27$ or 17£ for a desktop cradle is very reasonable.

Yeah, $31 for the one with a second battery charger, with free shipping is still almost half what I paid for a Nexus One dock from Google (though the N1 dock had more features (bluetooth speakers)).

With the huge tacky logo on the front of it, it looks like a $5 item....

at least it's something, doesn't look like an OEM dock is coming out at all

Count me in for this.

I wonder how long before this becomes actually available for shipment. I'm okay with the price, just not with the waiting.

I was told by the seller that the dock will be shipping in the middle of march this year.

It looks awesome I just wish it had headset throughput.
Ideally, I'd like to use this on my nightstand and I usually listen to TuneIn Radio when I go to bed. This will block that. Bummer.

I have mixed feelings about listening to music over Bluetooth. On one hand, as a person who finds a lot of wireless accessories pretty stupid, headphones are one thing I definitely think can benefit from going cordless. On the other, sound quality over Bluetooth just isn't as good as in wired headphones, even to a decidedly non-audiophile such as myself. Also, I find the range of Bluetooth doesn't really allow for as much freedom of movement as I would wish in some cases, and every stereo headset I've tried is extremely sensitive to motion (such as when running with your phone in your pocket) and/or obstruction (such as turning your head to look at something in such a way as to place your body mass between the phone and the headset receiver). In either case, the playback stutters quite a bit.
My feeling is that Bluetooth technology isn't quite where it needs to be for music playback yet. Unless you're in a situation where you really need/want them, I think most people are still better off with wired headphones. Give it a year or two for quality to go up and prices to go down and it might be a different story.

I use http://the-gadgeteer.com/2007/07/12/altec_lansing_t515_wireless_speaker_headset_system/ (just the headset part.. speaker is crap) with a sennheiser earphone and the audio quality is excellent and the range is not bad either. I get about 10 meters without much trouble.

Well, 10 meters is the range of bluetooth.
I use a Jabra BT3030. Good thing about it is I can plug in any earphone I want and if I prefer to use a larger speaker, I can just plug that too.

The Innodock Jr for the Desire/Nexus One works perfectly for the Nexus S and it leaves a lot of room for you to add a case and still be able to use the dock.

Oh, nice. Do you have a picture of the Nexus S in the dock? By the way, is the dock heavy? I worry about the dock tipping over. Thanks.

I'm happy for you, but not everyone wants to pay $200+ for headphones.

Seems to work excellently with my car stereo. The data throughput of Bluetooth is more than enough to handle music.

For someone who cares so much about sound quality, I'm surprised you have not spent close to or even more than $200 on a pair of wired headphones even.

My earphones are CX95 which I bought for about £60 (I also use other Sennheiser models which are about £15-£30) so I am not sure how you got 200+
The bluetooth headset itself was £15.

Looking for a Stereo BT headset for Workout and Movies

I am looking for some help. Now that I have a tablet and I am trying to find a good BT stereo headset for it. I am going to mostly use the headset for listening to my tablet for movies and doing items on my tablet where I do not want to bug my wife and others.
I am also going to want to use it with my phone when I am working out or working on items where a tablet is just too big to have around. I went to Best Buy and they stated to use the Jaybird ones. They are going to take a large chunk out of my wallet. I am trying to find what else is out there and would have good sound quality and bass for movies but can take getting all sweating in a work out.
Thank you for any help or tips on this. Just kind of stuck right now.

You can also look at getting a receiver that has a headphone jack and use the headphone of choice.

Might have to look into that. Thanks

Motorola has some water resistant ones but they are trash. Go with the jaybirds. I have several friends with them and they work great, and don't short out.

I have a Sony mw600 receiver that works pretty well. And with a standard 3.5 mm jack you can use any headset you want.
It's not as "clean" as a pure bt headset, but it's a lot more flexible. It has fm radio as well, a nice addition.
The only downside I found is the touch/pressure/whatever sensitive volume slider is a bit fiddly.
There is supposedly a newer version out, mw600s, but no idea about the changes and/or improvements.

I've used the Motorola S9 and now the S10 bluetooth stereo headsets. The S9 I sent back at least 4 times because sweat gets into the buttons and when you press up or down on them it sticks the contact and acts as if you are holding it down. I finally got out of the warranty period and found that if I put them on the airconditioner return (on the floor) for a few days they work fine. I have to say that the S10 has not had that problem. In both cases, the "in ear" nature of the S9 and S10 do not fit me well. Of course fit is highly subjective so take it for what it's worth.
The S9 had better sound to me than the S10 and was easier to control (when there wasn't sweat behind the buttons). On the S10 I have to really press the buttons hard to activate them. The pads on the end of each side on the S10 came off in the first week. They were stuck on with what is essentially double sided tape. I tried to glue one back on with super glue which just hardened the semi-soft pad into a wrinkled mess. I used a dremel with an abrasive buffer tip to smooth it down.
Finally, the soft ear tips on the S10 come off almost every time I take the headset off. Of course the headset is useless if you loose the tips...well, it works, but is pretty uncomfortable in your ears. The one good experience was that I called Motorola and they sent me a bag of the tips for free. So now I have (I think) 6 pairs, two each of each size. No hassle from customer service. I was ready to pay something, but they just sent them for free.
I'm in the market for some new stereo headphones for the gym. They must be bluetooth, take calls, and have controls on them. The problem is that it's an expensive game of hit or miss on fit and function although I can return them to BestBuy if needed.
It might seem that I'm down on the S9 and S10. In general, I like the way they fit around my neck, I just wish they would nail it instead of staying at about 80%.
Just my 2 cents.

I have a Sennheiser pxc 310, it's a very good device, but the big problem with bluetooth, movie and nexus 7, is the latency between sound and pictures.
I have the galaxy note 2 and there is no such problem, maybe the apt-x codec solve the problem.

Give the LG HBS-700 a shot. I use them for everything from work, to tv, to working out at the gym.
They sound decent and have a decent battery life.
My only gripe with them is that they slip a little when on the bench.

I'm using the LG HBS700 with So Slim Rom and the sound/video is very laggy and choppy over BT. Even when I play local files or ones over the network. I even tried watching a movie on Netflix. If I stop the video and plug in some headphones directly, it works fine. Anyone else have this problem? Might have to try a different Rom.

I second that. Have the Jaybird Bluebuds X they are the best headphones I've ever had they are a little pricy though.

I have this problem on the stock ROM, if you do some searching apparently it's a common bug introduced recently.
It's pretty disappointing as I got a Jabra clip to make listening while on the treadmill easier and it's just skippy as hell.

I'm using Samsung HS-3000 stereo. It has 3.5mm audio jack which you can swap the earphone for better ones

cant go wrong with these

Lots of static using aux into car stereo

I'm using the auxiliary input into my MINI stereo and getting a lot of static with two different N6s. No issues with N4, N5, International GSIII and TMobile GSIII.
It's specific only to my N6s.
Any ideas on how to fix? I've tried two different aux cables. I'm guessing it's some kind of grounding issue.

I noticed the same thing in my BMW.
There is some pretty loud static, which cuts in and out if music is playing. When paused, it's steady static.

I'm experiencing the same.

Same issue here in my car. I previously owned a Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 and can confirm that the issue was not present on those phones.
Although, they had their own issue of not being loud enough. The Nexus 6 puts out a lot of power.

I'm having the same issue, driving a mini as well. I was considering a new cable but that seems to not be the problem. The static is pretty annoying, to say the least. I'm considering getting a Bluetooth to aux adapter. Has anybody had any success with this issue?

No luck.
I did see that there are supposed to be audio fixes in Android 5.1, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I thought that buying an expensive Nexus would have solved all of the quality issues we had in previous, lower cost Nexus phones. Now I feel like I've kinda been ripped off.

Is anyone happy with Bluetooth connection?

My note 5 has awful Bluetooth reception. I need to know if it's just me or if anyone else has this issue.
Thanks

I'mean not sure if your talking about the connection with a car or headset, but I only use a headset and my connection is fine. I use the Plantronics voyager edge.

Works well in my car

So you have good reception? Every Bluetooth device I use cuts off when I cover my note with my hand or in my pocket. I have the bluebuds x

Mine was cutting in & out while connected to a bt device and had WiFi on. It stopped doing it though. I was about to take it back and get a new one

Has much better connection than my Nexus 6. Not as good as iPhone though. My iPhone 4s and iPhone 5 were the only phones that didn't cut out on my cars bluetooth and my motorola headsets I had at the time.

Good to know, thanks!

Bluetooth 4.1 works better with wifi. Good luck finding audio devices that use it though. Probably easier to shut off your 2.4ghz and connect just at 5.

Might be a bit late here. I've noticed how bad my Bluetooth connection seems to be from the earbuds AND speaker I got for Christmas. My Gear S2 I noticed on a bit but more passed it off as the watch depending on its WiFi more.
When I was trying the earbuds with my phone on me in bed, it was fine. However, even moving my phone to just past my waist, not even two feet away, the audio started breaking up.
Really lovely thing to find when you didn't know there was a problem after breaking your warranty :/

Been Using Apple Airpods with my 5T and they work wonderfully.

I wanted to share my experience using Apple's airpod's with Android, specifically the Oneplus 5T. Its been a little over 2 weeks and I have to say, they are the best.
When you purchase the airpods, it usually works best with other apple products such as an iPhone, ipad, macbook, etc.
When you use the airpods with android devices, they still work but you usually dont get all the cool features such as in detection, music stops when you pull them out, fast pairing when you just open up the case and it displays the battery level. I also have an ipad so I did test these features and everything works beautifully.
Here's my experience on 5T:
- I am on Oxygen OS Beat 11. Because of the features such as audio stops when disconnect from bluetooth and resumes when it reconnects which is not found on the stable version of the rom, it works well with the airpods.
- once the airpods are paired with my 5T, I installed https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=friedrich.georg.airbattery This allows you to see the battery level when you connect and disconnect from the airpods.
-I also connected the airpods to my ipad so I could configure the double tap gestures. I made the right to skip the next song, the and left to pause/play.
-There is also another app that can allow you to do (2) double taps to open google assistant.
-When connecting to the 5T (after being paired) it is pretty fast. Its not like 1 sec with idevice fast but almost around there. Its no where near the 5-7 it takes when I connect to other bluetooth devices.
- Sound quality is good as long as you airpods fit your ears and do not fall out. There are accessories you can buy to help they stay in place such as wingtips but again, if you the fit is uncomfortable, then you may have to look elsewhere.
I've used other wireless headsets such as jaybirds x3 and beats x, but those still have the wires which bothered me still and outside there was static and disconnects.
I also tried other true wireless earphones but they are so bulky. Airpods looked funny at first and prob still do, but I see so many ppl wearing them these days that it looks normal now. They are so small and convenient, charges in the case where it can last you the whole week depending on your usage. Since I am still trying these out and do have my eye on the Ticpods and Iconx, I will report back on my experience but so far, I really like the airpods.

That's great! It's awesome to see cross-ecosystem linkups
Just a couple things:
- Stable OxygenOS 5.1.4 has the audio features that you're talking about from Beta 11
- Almost all BT devices connect to the Oneplus 5T in less than 2 seconds in my experience. I have a couple of BT speakers and headsets, connection has always been nearly instantaneous. Maybe the delay that you're talking about is only in the Beta channel.

Thanks a lot. I have been wondering how well the Airpods work with Android devices. Those headphones are praised so much that they must be brilliant!
As the rumors suggest, we will see V2 in the near future with noise cancelation and waterproof.
Would def. be a reason for me to pick one up!

Excellent
The only reason why i bought the AirPods is for phone calls .. i'm from Egypt and our streets is very very noisy . i tried many bluetooth headsets but with all of them
the person i'm talking to was not hearing me and hearing all the noise around me ,
i tried my friend's AirPods for 4 mins phone call with my fiancee and it was an instant buy for me ....
man i can her clearly and i didn't tell her i'm using AirPods she just couldn'd notice any deffrence , she thought i was using the phone despite all the noise around me .
bought mine next day and using it with my OP3T
i still don't like the color and the shape of the AirPods i prefer the InEar silicon ear tips .
