Headphones and remote - Galaxy Tab General

The Tab comes with headphones which have a button at the microphone. From the iPhone im used to click them anywhere and my musics starts.
Is therey any functionality similar to this on the tab?

It appears to be the same way with v-modas that I have. I normally use Bluetooth headsets, but this cabled headset works in the way you mention.

They work for me on the iPhone but on the Tab all they can do is answer a call. No Musiccontrol at all.

If you install Winamp you can! The button is then for answering calls, and play/pause.
I use it so i can let my tab in my bag and turn it off if i need to listen to the big bad world

Best Stereo Headset for Kaiser

Anyone used any BT A2DP headsets with Kaiser that run without any skipping and such? If so please give make and model. Likewise anyone with ones that are not very good with Kaiser please notate here as well. Am looking to buy some but want to ensure they are compatible.
Thanks,
endertaker
i would like the answer to this also...
my nokia hs-12W works w/o skipping
The Jabra 620s
i think the Jabra 620s is the best i know it is big but the standby and batteri time is a big + after updating the firmware it even better no need for any tweaks, even if you want to use microsofts voice command to make call og starting any apps
I have no problems with my Plantronics 590a.
can yo use next-track buttons from jabra with any software?
sound quality on my motorola ht820's is great and ive been listening to some really long mp3's on it too (~30mins) with no skipping or anything - only thing that really narks me is that i cant get the damn things to work if i turn wifi on on my handset - ASDF!!"!!! (i even sent my unit back because i thought this was a hardware fault - turns out its just bluetooth not playing nicely with wifi - im still skeptical)

Hi,
do you tried also a buttom to call with voice command application or a phone call ?
I've a HTC S100 and the sound is well but it's very difficult to start a voice commande or to recall last call because seem that the function "hand free" sometime is lose.
Sorry for my poor English !

Motorola S9
I love the Motorola s9
small in your ears, long battery life,
and it pairs with two devices at the same time, for ex. your phone and your iPod..( i use the BT adapter for ipod from iMuffs MA110)
mini usb charger..
the only think i don't like is the the phone plays only on the left (not stereo)

Two questions!....
. The volume keys in the jabra... do they modify the volume of the kaiser?, or only internal one?
. Can you use the kaiser charger for this headset?, is it miniUsb standar?
Thanks!
My vote is for the Lubix UBHS-NC1, no skipping, full controls on headset (even fast forward and rewing) and looks cool (hangs around your neck when not in use.
My HP iPAQ bluetooth headset works fine as well.

QFT, Motorola S9 has performed well, all button functions seem to work properly & works & sounds great for playing audio off a micro SD. Just make sure the volume is up on the device to avoid background static from too low input volume.

Bluetooth Headset, Ringing on Phone, Call over Headset

Sorry for the quircky title.
I want to get myself the HD2, since I just love the screen and it's pretty tweakible . However, I can't hold a phone at my ear for a long time, so I want to use a Bluetooth Stereo headset. But, I will not be wearing the plugs in my ear during the entire day, so I need the following feature:
1. When connected to the Bluetooth Stereo Headset, I want the sound of incoming calls, sms, mms, email, whatever... via the speaker on the phone.
2. When I answer a call, I want the audio to go over the Bluetooth Stereo Headset.
3. When I play music, watch video, etc, I want all the audio from 1. and 2. to go over the Bluetooth Stereo Headset.
4. When the Bluetooth Stereo Headset is not connected I want all the audio to go via the speaker on the phone.
Can this be done by a default solution, or do I need to download free / buy commercial software for this or is it just not possible?
I can't find the answer anywhere, so that's why I'm asking.
Thank you for any and all answers.
hi,
you should get a headset that supports both bt audio protocols 1. hands-free for phonecalls and 2. stereo audio for music and systemsounds. i have 2 of these devices, when they connected all music and systemsounds are redirected to the headset, also phonecalls. the only thing that the speaker of the phone plays are the ringtones for incomming calls. the only thing not working of your list is the notification for sms, mms etc. because the hd2 is playing them as normal audio, so you hear them on the headset and not at the speaker. but that may depend on the rom you use.

Thanx madbird. All I needed to know. I can live with this idea. For the other notifications there might be a led feature, so that solves yet another question. Sill doubting between X10 and HD2 though...
I remember I saw a registry modification here on XDA to force the sound of ringing through the main speaker and not through the headset, I just don't remember where.... google it.

I found some posts. However, I can't test anything, since I don't have the HD2. Yet. After watching another gazillion youtubes regarding the HD2 I will get it. I just can't get myself to part from outlook yet and keep all my contacts/calendar/tasks etc in 'the cloud'...
Why part from outlook? No need to, I do everything with outlook like the past 6 years and don't use the myphone thing...

Sorry, I'm mixing posts again . I was in doubt between the X10 and the HD2. After watching and reading quite some (p)reviews and youtube movies, I do see the power of Android, but integration with Outlook is slim to none. Yes, I can use Moxier, but that would give me 2 contact databases (from what I understoord anyways), missing the integration fun. And I don't want to use Google calendar/mail/taks etc, since they lack integration. It will come, but I need that stuff today, not tomorrow.
Short version: I do not want to part from Outlook , it's one of the main reasons for me not switching to Android...

HD2 + Sony Ericsson MW600 headset - Track name is displayed!

Recently purchased the SE MW600 stereo bluetooth headset. Was pleasantly surprised to discover that track name shows up on the headset, when paired with the HD2.
Display of track info is a SE implementation and is supposed to work only with SE phones. So not sure why it is working with the HD2.
Note that I also paired the headset with my Nexus One, Archos 5IT and Motorola Milestone. However, with these pairings, track name did not work.
So i suppose it is unique to WM/ HD2 bluetooth stack...
That's a good thing to hear.
I have been searching for a nice stereo bluetooth headsets for my lovely HD2 as well.
Does the Sony MW600 has swap between talk and music function?
Damnit!
I have an HBH-DS980 bluetooth stereo headset with OLED display, and it worked fine with a K850i. When I moved to the X1, I figured SE would include support for it in their BT stack - no such luck. Eventually I got the guy who writes SmartWatchM to include support, but its very basic - to show track titles, you lose the ability to take calls on it.
Major bummer! I guess yours uses a different, standard BT profile for track info display that the HD2 also supports?

you can do voice dialing using the mw600. and yes, when a call comes in, it automatically switches over from music to call. of course, it also automatically switches over when you dial out from your phone.
also, you can pair it with THREE devices instead of the two that most multipoint bluetooth headsets allow you to.
before this, i have used se ds220, ds980, jabra 3030 and sennheiser mm200. my current mw600 is the most feature-rich headset in a tiny package. the music quality is not as great as the senn bluetooth headest, but you can always swap in your headphone. i would say the quality is good enough for regular commute.

i have fond memories of the ds980. in fact, the only thing i miss about it is the access to phonebook and dialing out right from the headset - the mw600 has all the other features except that.
i have not tinkered with the BT settings. it just worked 'out of the box'. please note that my HD2 is on OzROM 2.10 ROM. have gone through the changelogs, but do not see any info on the BT stack being tinkered with.
So i assume track info will also get displayed on a stock HD2 ROM as well. and maybe other WM devices?
I can confirm that mw600 shows song titles with stock rom, using it everyday! Perfect for watching youtube-videos and so on.
How about radio? Are the devices smart enough to know that one (phone) is looking for an antenna, and the other (headset) can act as one, to use the HD2 radio app?

tried it. nope, did not work. i don't think you can get around the limitation of having a cable plugged into the headphone jack for fm to work - the cable acts as an antenna. can fm work without it? i don't know.
however, with the mw600 this point is moot. the headset has onboard FM and the quality, at least where i live, was crystal clear. so the hd2's fm app becomes redundant.
Does it show incoming callers name as well?

Yes, all regular avrcp controls are available. you can skip to next/ previous tracks, pause, play...
about incoming caller names, i only see the number displayed when a call comes in.
Does it show track titeles only from htc music player or is it possible to force it to show tracks from S2P or different player? I have this headset and it only shows tracks from htc player...

Dosen't show names of tracks from S2P for me either.
Great headset though!!!
i am having problems... so far it wont play music through the blue tooth headset, it will only play thorugh its speakers... I got it to work once after i reset the phone but shortly after (say if i turn the mw600 off and on), it will once again stop working... Handsfree calling is fine though.
any ideas?

Have you enabled A2DP on your device?
[Comm Manager]>Tap on "Bluetooth" (Name, not the switch)>[Advanced]>Tap on the MW600 you have paired>[Edit]>check [Wireless Stereo] and Save.
So does the MW600 show the audio track titles in HD2 android?
i didn't notice this. but i'm using pocket player, not windows or htc or s2p.
what i notice is, when in radio mode, my bluetooth can show caller name, but when in streaming mode it only show number.
i hate the slide volume control. never work when i use my finger, but will activate if it touch my shirt. kind of stupid, you have to look at it to use it. also the clip is not "coarse" and strong enough, easy to slip out. lucky, the earphone connection prevent it from dropping.

Has anyone tried pairing MW600 with PC?

No, the MW600 does not display track names when using Android, however, the hardware volume keys on the HD2 will adjust the volume of the headset - this does not happen under WinMo unfortunately. This is useful if you plug the MW600 into an amplifier and stream music to your hi-fi because then you can control everything : )
Another plus of using the MW600 with Android on the HD2 is that if you use DSP manager it will allow you to control bass and treble etc - again, the Audio Booster under WinMo does not affect the headset (even with the hack that allows it to run without a plug in the headphone jack).
The biggest problems with the MW600 for me are the awkward touch sensitive volume control, and the fact that it cuts the beginning off of each track (only a second or so, but if you're listening to music that kicks in on the first beat it gets really annoying).

Yes, using windows 7 64bit and a Nexxus Blue Micro Pro dongle (v2.0 + EDR). With windows drivers it sounds awful. The high frequencies are bleurgh....
With a trial of the Toshiba stack and also Blue Soleil Software, it sounded very good indeed....
Make sure you get a dongle with good software/driver support and it'll sound great : )
The MW600 will show you what type of device you are paired with using an appropriate symbol. Like devices (e.g phones) get numbered one to three.
One word of warning, when you pair a new device, by default both the stereo audio and the handsfree audio (for calls) are routed to that device. This leads to some consternation if you, say, pair your girlfriends phone to it then wonder why your own phone no longer has call functionality but the music is working just fine. Oops. Duh, RTFM ; ) Press and hold the call button on the MW600 to choose which of your paired devices has call functionality. Press and hold the Play/Pause button to choose which has stereo audio functionality. It may help to shout expletives at it when you find you can't select the device you want using the 'insensitive one minute, overly sensitive the next' volume slider ; )

Bluetooth

Is it possible to make it so you can listen to music via a normal bluetooth headset. The kind thats for making calls?

Try an app called BTMusic. This is supposed to push audio through any BT device with a speaker. This was done for this exact purpose. I tried it a few times, but never really got it to work with my Blue Angel.
Give it a go, you may have better luck. Before you ask me for it, google it as it is not in this site (as far as I can remember)

[Q] Play music thru BT while Headphones plugged

Scenario I'd like to see:
Wired Headphones plugged in
Bluetooth connected to audio receiver
Music plays through audio receiver
Calls go through wired headphones
If a call comes in it pauses the music app and transfers audio to headset. As soon as call complete music continues.
I can get this to work on my Scotts Clean Rom Note 2 and iPhone 5 fine but I can't seem to find a setting or app that can allow this behavior.
Why?
I much prefer hearing music through my car speakers and if I get a call it's much easier to hear and talk through the wired headset.
Anyone else have this use case? Figured out an answer?
Just a thought since I haven't tired this yet.... What happens when you turn off phone audio(but leave media) for the car in the bluetooth settings on the phone?
