[Q] Nokia Bluetooth Stereo Headset BH-214 Works on Defy ? - Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I just bought a Defy a month ago and its awesome.
Does the Nokia BH-214 works on Defy ? In eBay India there are many OEM version of BH-214 are there for about $16.
Any one using it on Defy ?
Also recommend me other bluetooth stereo headsets.As i ride a lot i need the earplugs to be inside my helmet.
is there any other way (except power amp) to control music through the normal headset which came with Defy ?
Thank you,
Hari

I've tried an original Nokia BH-214 and it works. It's not as good as directly to headphones (tested with some good IEMs). But it works and it's pretty decent.
Have a nice day!

The price is correct... about 45€ in many shops like Virgin or Fnac.
The sound is more than correct, the mic is a little misplaced (can't call with it in the train because of the ambiant noise, but i can in the street), it has buttons to play, stop, answer call, FWD, BCK, VOL+ and VOL- !
This headset is aslo water-resistant (not waterproof !).
So, ... I LOVE BH-505 !
PS : Any bluetooth headset normally is compatible with ... any recent and decent phone... because they all use A2DP (for Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) and those with remote controls like BH-505 also use AVRCP (for Audio/Video Remote Control Profile), with is a standard.
Wikipedia :
Operating Systems supported
Android:
Android version 1.6 (Donut) and all subsequent versions support A2DP.

I will order it assuming it will work on defy.
I need something which fits inside my helmet so will buy BH-214.
Thanks for the clarification
I know bluetooth works on any model but I just want to know if the music control button works.

NOKIA CAR-KIT Bluetooth

Hello
I have some Problems with my XDAII and the Nokia Car-Kit Bluetooth.
I become no connect with the Device.
Have elsawhere a Answer wy??
Greatings to all
Matrix
If you have the Nokia Carkit 112 like me, it won't work.
The carkit only supports the handsfree profile, the XDA II supports the headset profile only.
There are rumours that we *may* get a handsfree update in a future release of the firmware or possible in SP1 for Windows Mobile 2003, but I have not see anything conclusive.
Regards
Michael
@matrix
then you should try this: http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/

I downloaded the latest version and will try it out on my Nokai 112 kit as soon as I get to my car friday.
Will post results.

I have tested this with my Nokia CK-1W carkit and XDA II, It does not quite work as yet, At the moment my phone bonds and communicates to the carkit but will not force the audio through the carkit, I have tested the carkit with a working Nokia phone and it works no problems.
I am attempting to assist Tobias in debugging this, he will post a debug version on Friday, I will run the tests that I have run with the current version and send him the logs.
Hopefully he will be able to help fix the issues. He has certainly been very helpful so far.
I had the same problems with the Nokia CK-1W. In the end I got that swaped with an Ericsson HCB-30 which works flawlessly. I think it works with the Ericsson unit as it has 'headset' profiles which the XDA II supports.
I've posted under in the 'Stocking it Up' forum but here are some pics:

BLUETOOTH TOOLS
I have tested the Bluetooth Tools but this software works not really yet.
I have more Problems after the update.
I am waiting for WM 2003 SP1
Thanks for all answers.

No luck here either with the Nokia Carkit.
I don't even get the page asking which profile I want to use after bounding to the carkit and confirming the name.
I do get a 'click' when bounding, but on sign on any further communications with the phone.
Also the headset enablement icon has gone from the today options.

HCB-30 Not auto connecting after ignition switched back on.
Hello,I recently have bought the HCB-30 also after having a disastrous time with the Nokia CK-1W.
I have had it working fine when I create a new bond however when I switch off the ignition and lose power to the device It will not auto connect when I switch the ignition back on.
Is there something that I am doing wrong? am I being impatatient?
Can you advise if when you start your ignition your XDA II connects without you doing anything?
Cheers
Neil.

Trinity 3.5mm USB audio adapter

Hi guys,
I'm hoping to use my P3600 as an mp3 player, but what I'm wondering is which miniUSB to 3.5mm adapter is the best?
The one with a lead....

or the one without?....
[images from ebay]
anyone? surely someone must use their trinity as an mp3 device
I'm using the Y-cable available at expansys.com, and it works fine, because you can charge your phone at the same time that you hear music through the 3,5mm headphone. It also works fine connected to my living room hi-fi.
i've used one similar to the top pic for more than a year without any problems!
i've buy the first adapter from brando's shop
Does the adapter fall out easily? The usb socket doesn't seem very errrr grippy lol
Just bought (online) the first one, will post review later on.
I use the y shaped one as it allows me to play mp3's and gps directions through my car stereo as well as charging the device at the same time.

Working great.
I'd be most interested in an adapter with microphone breakout as well as
headphones - then I could use it as a hard disk audio recorder!
cheers

No mic over USB?

Hi,
I don't believe that the mini USB jack has a mic in signal there. However, I might be wrong - are there any headsets that are wired and that provide in AND out capabilities? If yes, and one works at the TRIN, it should be possible.

My dopod d810 came with a wired hands free kits which plugs into the USB port, and provides stereo ear buds as well as a pod that has a button (for answer and hangup(?)) and a mic on it....
didnt you get one as well?
@nerd1
Hi,
I don't believe I got anything like that with mine. Maybe I should check the package again?
However, obviously, there are all necessary connectors avilable. Good!

expansys now has usb adapter by htc. converts 'special' miniusb into 2.5mm, 3.5mm, and 'special' miniusb + a miniusb for recharging + mic. it works great , $20

Not if you press "Menu" then "Speaker" from within the app!
If the radio works with a 3.5mm adapter plugged in i.e. no wire/aerial, then we would know its possible to use the radio without the headphones as the aerial.
Would this be a good place to start because then we at least no whether it is possible????

Car bluetooth

Hi everyone, I rooted my x10 the week it was rooted and since that time have always had an issue with my alpine w505 head unit and the blue-tooth.
It works but i have to turn the volume all the way up on the car audio to just barley hear anyone.
I was not to concerned and figured it was just a glitch and was waiting for android 2.1. well with the delay and pending release of the android update I decided to update my x10 from 016 to 026. I did a clean install and thought my blue-tooth issue would be gone, well it it the same.
The alpine unit works fine with my wives nokia, but my x10 is horrible.
I can tell you that it worked great with the default rogers rom. which makes me believe that it's an issue with the packaged files I'm using.
I used the rom from post 4 in the android development thread. as i was going to try and just update. but I did have an issue and decided to do a clean upgrade.
Has anyone else had an issue with a car blue-tooth device? or does anyone have the alpine w505?
Thanks
You are lucky the bluetooth works at all.........................................
The prime reason for me wanting 2.1 is so that the SE flagship experia can do the things my 2007 K800i does..........................................................
ok is everyone having issue's with bluetooth and android 1.6? or is this a x10 issue?
I have a parrot CK3100 and everything works fine, i have to set the volume half the way because it sounds too loud.

I bet you can't voice dial and the phone book does not transfer though!
I have my xperia on xxxxx24 working in a fashion with a nokia kit. In the menu, you have an option to keep the lights on for development purpose. Say yes to this. Re boot phone, switch on Bluetooth, connect, stick in car charger and it doesn't disconnect while lights are on cos x10 don't sleep.....

I can confirm the X10i works flawlesly on the Bury C9060 too, and syncs phone book, also A2DP music works as it should, it never loses sync and bluetooth is available after approx 5 secs of starting the car.
You can also change tracks from the C9060 and voice dial is imo better than the parrot, I checked every device before going for the C9060.

I can't sync my phonebook on my jvc unit or look at the name of songs that are playing off my phone when I use bluetooth streaming. It works fine with the bold and iphone though

Here i am
This is how the Agenda looks when you sync a phone that it isn't able to transfer your contacts(my old LG viewty for example):
X10i linked with parrot, notice the icon located at the low right side, that means it is transfering your contacts:
This is how Agenda looks now:
Let's see if it works...
Yep, working
You can check Exif data to view time/date of the pics and the camera(x10i ), it links 5 seconds after i turn on the car, never disconnects, however i can't do AD2P since parrot CK3100 can't support it
OP-- this sounds stupid but it happened to me so check. The media volume for bluetooth is different from the media volume coming out of the speaker/headphones. Try turning up the volume on the phone.

A-Sure S3OVB bluetooth issues...

Hi all,
Recently bought an ASURE S3OVB (see link: goo.gl/FXsks9 [URL shortened to prevent cluttered post]) and installed into my 2010 Vx Zafira B. Everything is AWESOME and i really love the headunit, however I seem to be having difficulties with the Bluetooth connection.
So. My phone (Archos 50 Power) pairs up OK with no issues, but when I go to place (or receive) a call with via the phone itself or the headunits Dialler, the call is placed and connected OK but the audio is still coming out of the phones ear-piece, UNLESS i press the button underneath the END CALL button (pictured below).

}
I have also noticed that, on the phone, no matter whether the bluetooth is connected or not, the icon (circled in the picture below) is ALWAYS set to phone ear-piece, and NEVER sets itself to BLUETOOTH, HOWEVER even if i place a call and change this setting to BLUETOOTH manually, the call audio is STILL routed through the phone's ear-piece.
What Im trying to establish is the following....
1) Am I doing something wrong, or is there a problem with one or other of my devices?
2) If there IS a problem with one of my devices, Which one is it? Both are pretty much NEW devices, and thus if I need to claim on a warranty, I want to claim on the correct one!
3) Is it likely a software or hardware issue? If so is there an easy (-ish) fix? I have toyed with SOUNDABOUT from the play-store on the PHONE, but have had no success (although there are a LOT of settings!)
Any help will be greatfully appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Do you have any other bluetooth devices connected? Mine was something to do with the smart watch i was using (alcatel gowatch). I have since gotten a new watch (sony smartwatch 3) and the issue is resolved. Hopes this helps!
