I have my bluetooth always on connected to my smartwatch , and I have earbuds which when connected to the phone are not recognized as media output immediately but instead I have to always check it in the configuration options in bluetooth menu . Also when I press the play button on the earbuds music player doesn't play automatically . Is there anyway to fix this ?
I have just ordered Jaybird X3, when it reachs me I will check here again
I have my 3T paired with multiple different Bluetooth devices: JBL earbuds/headset, as well as JBL Pulse 2 speaker, Kenwood car head unit (Subaru stock head unit), and Plantronics headset (the one ear kind - only paired for phone, not media). They all work flawlessly.
The problem might be with the headset, or the fact that there are just so many different Bluetooth accessories, and it's really hard for manufacturers (on both sides, the phone and the accessory makers) to ensure they are all 100% compatible.

Hi;
Didn't find too many threads about the neatness of the Kaiser BT with certain devices. Though my main memory gets still eaten up like ther's no tomorrow I played a little bit today during lunch-time.
1.) External speaker/handsfree set:
I bought a blueant supertooth light since we have several phones in the family That's the most convenient way to have a mobile handsfree and no wires and literally NO installation.
Enable BT at the Kaiser, use BT-Audio (attached) and re-route device speaker output to the bluetooth handsfree speaker.
Voila, the TomTom Lady is talking to you load and clear. Eats up some battery but for that you have a car charger - NEAT!
Should work with popular motorola T305 and others as well.
2.) Car with AUX/iPod input:
Get an A2DP bluettooth kit (I have the i-tech clip R35) get a male/male 3.5 mm jack cable (preferable a little longer that you can use the mic), connect to the car. Not only that you can listen to the music stored on the kaiser through your car stereo ... call comes in, take call and listen through your speakersystem OR listen to regular radio or music, call comes in, press aux at your radio and ... talk.
NEAT - Thought I should share this!
doesn't seem to want to work for me. i get a " failed to enable BT audio" window when i try to use it
Could have a better user interface, I agree.
Do you use an external BT speaker/microphone or do you try to use AUX for your car stereo. If you use the car stereo NOTHING is required as long as you have an A2DP bluetooth set with external earphone jack.
With the car kit these are the steps that worked for me:
Enable BT in CommMgr?
Click BTAudioToggle
Click BTAudioOn
I put shortcuts in my menu one could even write a script or macro...
doesnt work for me
Post your config and what you did/do perhaps I can help
same thing as post #2,unzipped to SD, make shortcut,tried shortcut and direct file and both gave that error message
What speaker/headset do you have?
If it is a headset is it A2DP compatible?
jabra bt5020,dont think it's compatible
Hmmm
Bluetooth compliance: Bluetooth version 2.0 specifications
Supported Bluetooth profiles: Bluetooth headset and hands-free profiles
Try the following:
- Soft reset after you disabled bluetooth (to have a clear starting point)
- Enable bluetooth
- Check if it is connected
- Open settings
- Tap and HOLD on your headset
- Set as handsfree
- Set BTAudio ON (don't use the toggle)
- Open TomTom or whatever gives you some voice commands and check.
If it doesn't work ... well it doens't work with your headset ... sorry
If you REALLY want the function buy an itech or so for ~ 26 bucks
Quite a while ago I bought a Sony BT3600U car stero as it was bluetooth enabled so I could stream music from my Kaiser direct to the car speakers.
All was working well until I moved the car stereo to my new car.
Now although it's all paired up fine when I turn on the car stero it just links to the handsfree bluetooth but doesn't automatically go to wireless stereo.
Instead to get the wireless stereo to work I have to go into bluetooth settings click on xplode (which is the car stereo) and then choose set as wireless stereo.
I know from before that I managed to get it to automatically switch to wireless stereo when in range of the partnered car stereo but I can't for the life of me remember how I did it.
Does anyone have any clues?
Sounds to me like it's an issue with the stereo, not the Kaiser.
Perhaps try disabling the handsfree service (for that pair) on the Kaiser? I can't remember exactly if you disable certain services.

I have an XCarLink and I have the same behaviour which is a bit annoying. I did a bit of searching a while ago but never got anywhere. If there is an (easy) answer to this I would be interested.

No it's def not the stereo , i've got it working sort of using A2DP toggle but it's not automatic.
Installed A2DP toggle and linked it to the audio manager on the kaiser.
So I just click the play button on my home screen and it kicks in the wireless stereo and launches the audio manager at the same time and it all works.
It's just annoying as I know that before I moved the stereo from my Honda civic to my hyundai Coupe all I had to do was just start audio manager and the wireless stereo kicked in automatically.
I've seen this too; I have a Sony BT5000 (basically the same as the OP), and I've seen it with both Wizard & Kaiser devices.
A bit more testing - expected behaviour?
I went out in the car earlier and had to do the 'set as wireless stereo' trick to get the BT streaming working with the XCarLink. When I switched off the engine and the head unit powered off the headset icon disappeared from the phone (which is normal) indicating there was no connection. I then left the car but left the bluetooth enabled on the phone instead of switching it off as I normally do. When I returned and drove off the partnership was re-established and the headset icon re-appeared and I was able to stream music etc without doing the 'set as wireless stereo' trick.
I tested this a couple of times and the behaviour was the same - i.e. leave BT enabled on the phone but switch on/off the XCarLink (car kit) and the partnership re-establishes each time with Wireless Stereo working. Switch BT off and then back on on the phone and you have to manually select Wireless Stereo.
Is this the expected behaviour or is there a trick to getting this working seamlessly?
Andy
That didnt' work for me. I even did a hard reset on my phone to see if there was something I had installed causing it not to relink.
If I had any hair, i'd be pulling it out by now
It's so frustrating knowing that I had worked it out once before but when it comes to the crunch you can't remember for the life of you how you did it.
Well i've been searching for an answer and found this here

There is a very simple fix to enable the Pioneer to recognise and connect to your phone. You see the Pioneer is searching for a phone or a Smartphone, the Trinity identifies itself as a PPC and so the Pioneer ignores it.
The Class of Device or CoD must be changed so that the Trinity identifies itself as either a phone or Smartphone.
If you change the Dword Data value in.... HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\SY S\COD"
to 5374476 (decimal) and set bluetooth to discoverable in your Trin, you should find that it connects automatically.
It took me 8 months to find this out.
PS. I don't have the problem with not hearing the callers.

But it didn't work for me - on the plus side though I did find a really cool mortscript from the same guy which when I plug the kaiser into my car cradle/charger it recognises the car stereo (but doesn't set to "wireless stereo" and automatically loads up my media player
My search continues
EDIT: Ok found that once the initial partnership for wireless stereo is done, if I turn off the radio and turn it back on again, the partnership is lost as usual until I press channel 6 (pause) on my head unit and then it comes back on.
I bought a connection for my diamond to connect to the aux input of my car stereo sort of hoping that it would work by allowing me to use the car speakers to speak & listen from phone, listening was not a problem, crystal clear but the person on the other end could not hear me. Is there an easy way to get this sorted? My stereo does not have bluetooth.
Depends on what sort of "connection" you have bought and how it works. Is it meant to be a handsfree unit, in which case it should come with its own microphone?
Or is it a USB type headset lead unit that is only meant to be used as a means of playing music via the car stereo, in which case you probably can't attach a microphone and can't use it as a handfree unit.
The way to sort it is to buy a bluetooth handsfree unit complete with microphone. These communicate with your phone using bluetooth and can either have their own amp and speaker or be wired into your car audio (usually via the phone facility in the DIN connector on the back of the car unit).
If you want to use for both phone calls and listening music it is best to get one that supports multiple Bluetooth profiles, including handsfree and A2DP.
Hi everyone, I just recieved my Sony MW600's in the mail and charged it up and paired it to the Focus. http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=25845
This is by far the best headphones I've used next to the HBH-IS900's I've owned the past 2 years. I would've gotten another pair of the IS900's but didn't want the propitary charging port after seeing the MW600's are micro usb too. Pairing was easy and all the music controll functions work great. The headset has it's own volume adjustments too, but it's touch sensitive which you have to watch out when your holding it by the sides. You can skip tracks or pause music with no problems. Now for watching video they of course don't work because there is a problem with Zune sending sound to the headset, but the controls still work. The FM radio function works pretty awesome, better than my cars tuner. To bad you can't store station pre-sets. Only other thing is finding a place to clip it. Other than that it is a very good buy.
I have it - I second it as one of the best devices for bluetooth.
Anybody here has tried to use the "Hi-Fi Wireless Headset with FM Radio MW600" with the Ameo?
My Ameo has the (German) HTC WM6.0 stock ROM but I want wo try a WM6.1 ROM. I want to make calls with the MW600 bluetooth headset, voice dialing and audio steaming. And caller-id on WM600 display would be very nice.
bluetooth disabled after pairing
Well, because nobody can (or want) to answer me, I had to test by myself.
The MW600 stereo bluetooth headset is a very nice gadget. With silver and white colors it looks very nice beside the Ameo (with has the same colors). The headset has two parts - a small controller with an oled display, some buttons and connectors and a good in-ear headset. The headset has very short wires but because you only have to connect it with the controller, it should be no problem. If you want another ear-phone you can connect every 3,5mm standard ear-phone.
The controller has buttons for on/off, call, play/pause, forward, backward and a volume slider. Pairing with the Athena was very easy, similar with other bluetooth headsets. The MW600 supports hands free and wireless stereo profile.
Once connected, the controller can pair the Arthena automatically - very nice.
With wireless stereo you can use the MW600 as a stereo ear-phone for music and videos. On CorePlayer you can control pause/play, forward, backward and skip over bluetooth and the controler can show the play time.
On incoming calls you see the phone number (not tested if caller-id/name is working) on the controller display. And you can use voice dial for making calls too.
The MW600 has a built-in RDS radio - very nice because the Athena has no radio.
Well... but there is a big issue.
After Athena and MW600 are paired, the Athena disables bluetooth after some seconds.
I have tried some ROMS like original HTC WM6, irus' AP4 vanilla or AGB 3.0. On HTC WM6 I can't use the call button on the controller too.
On a WM6.1 ROM bluetooth is disabled but not the blue led. I had to disable and enable bluettoh some times to reactivate it.
On AGB 3.0, led and bluetooth state are identical and I can reactivate bluetooth with one simple click. The headset pairs automaticly on enabled bluetooth but after 10 seconds, bluetooth is disabled again.
Well, if I'm fast enough to start CorePlayer, I can use the headset without problems as stero head-phone. If I have a call, I can use the headset without problems too. Very strange.
Now I have deactivated wireless stereo on bluetooth settings and the connection was stable for some hours.
I have a simple Jabra BT2080 bluetooth headset to, only useable for mono hands free connections. But this works great with the Athena, stable connection for more than 8 hours.

I able to pair this mw600 with my laptop and 2 phones(HTC Touch Pro2 and Sony Ericsson F305).
1) I can answer a call from SE F305 while on movie from laptop/FM/musci from HTC without any prob. The quality of this device SUPERB!!
2)The only prob is with HTC,I can't pair HTC with MW600 while on movie from laptop/FM/music from SE F305. I tried change many option and tweak but hopeless. Anyone have a solution for my problem?Or MW600 compatible multipoint with SE phones only?
