Plantronics Voyager 855 unable to lower volume during iPod playback

I wasn't sure if this should be in 3GS or music and video, so I figured I would pick one.
I have a 3GS 32gb running version 3.1. The problem I have is during iPod playback. My Voyager 855 locks the volume slider on the phone at half way. Using the volume control ON THE HEADSET, I can increase the volume and see the volume slider on the phone increase correspondingly up to the point that the music is very loud. But, when I try to turn the music down, again using the volume controls ON THE HEADSET, the slider on the phone will only go down to the halfway point. I can continue to click the volume down button ON THE HEADSET and the button will beep along with a split second decrease in volume but as soon as the button is released the volume has not changed-it remains at the halfway point. I have this problem with watching youtube videos, everything, EXCEPT for on the rainfall app that I have. I can increase/decrease the volume all the way up or down to the point that I can no longer hear the rain or until it is so loud it hurts my ears. This is very frustrating as I would really like to use this headset while reading and for sleeping, but the iPod function is just too loud. My friend has a 3G 8gb with the exact same headset and he does not have this problem. Is this a feature/limitation of the 3GS?

Yeah, ha ha, that is my post to Plantronics and their reply to me. I tried what you suggested and no go:
Un pairing, rebooting, and re pairing did not result in a fix. I still have the same problem. I tried it on my wifes phone-hers is running 3.1.3, and no-go, it had the same problem.
The volume slider works when the music is not outputed through the headset. When through the iPhone speaker, it works as it should-the volume is able to be adjusted up and down via the slider. Videos behave as they should, any program that needs to be adjusted via the volume slider or the rocker button on the side of the phone works as it should. To expand on what I stated eariler: while using the iPod function I can set the slider all the way to the left (volume 0), press the option for output and set it to the headset. When I do that, there is a split second where you can see the slider move from the left to the middle, and then the slider disappears. It's almost as though the headset is resetting the default/baseline sound level from 0 to 50 (if we are working on a 0-100 scale). I can increase the volume using the buttons on the headset, and I can lower the volume only to half way. If I then select the option for sound output and change it back to speaker, the slider reappears, and it is all the way to the left where I originally set it. This is very frustrating. I can understand Plantronics response. but they are wrong. I can control the loudness of music via the iPod application. I guess maybe this is just a hiccup I will have to deal with. I have placed a request to Apple that they fix this. Maybe in the next upgrade they will, or at least add an option where you can adjust it in the settings.

Plantronics Voyager 855 doesn't work with ipod touch 3rd gen OS 3.1.3

I have a ipod touch 32G 3rd generation, OS 3.1.3, try to pair with Plantronics Voyager 855, can't find it at all. in the mean time, my nokia n95 find it immediately.
And also try to pari Plantronics Voyager 855 with my macbook pro, OSX 10.6.2, can't find it either. in the mean time my sony vaio find it immediately.
Am I miss something? Anyone can help?

The Touch only works with bluetooth headphones, not headsets. A subtle, but important difference.

8830 and Outlook 2007

In the "General calendar options" on the 8830 you can "keep appointsments for 90 days" if you wanted to. My question is, when I sync it to my desktop will it delete my calendar items that are over 90 days there? I need to keep my calendar items for more than a year.

Desktop Manager 4.6 I use this version, it's supposed to be more stable. Connect the USB cable from your computer to the 8830 and follow the onscreen instructions. After that from the main screen, click on synchronize. Than from the left hand column, under synchronize, click on synchronization. For the first sync, select a task and have the sync go from outlook to the device. Thereafter, have it as a 2 way sync. I hope this isn't to difficult to understand.

8830 and Blueant bluetooth device

I can pair my Blueant Z9i bluetooth device to my Sprint 8830. But, when I do, the volume control on the B/B becomes locked at a low level. Thus, the volume on the headset is too low, even when the headset is set on max. Anything I can do to unlock the 8830's volume control and adjust it above "low"? Blueant says it's a Blackberry problem (I've tried it with other 8830s, and it locked the volume on all of them!), B/B says it's a Sprint problem, and Sprint says it's either Blueant or B/B! Help! Has anyone else encountered this? We have hundreds of 8830s here, and I tried 4 others, and they all locked the volume upon pairing. Thanks!

8830 and mac sync

I have a verizon 8830 and cannot sync it with my macbook. I've already tried downloading the newest pocketmac from the website, but I'm still having trouble. is it possible? how? I'd like it to work with my Entourage. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pairing trouble with Storm and Plantronics Voyager 520 bluetooth.

The original BB Storm that I got back in January paired and work perfectly with my bluetooth headset. I recently lost my phone and received a brand new BB Storm that I am trying to pair my BT headset with. The BT has the "quickpair" technology but I cannot get them to connect. Everytime I go onto my phone to search for any devices the search comes up with nothing. Not sure why it would work so well with my old phone but not do anything with this brand new one. Please advise.

HI and Welcome to the Forums!
This is the KB that discusses generic pairing:
KB03391 Pairing BlackBerry devices with Bluetooth enabled devices
If I had to guess, I'd say that your headset is not in pairing mode while the Storm is looking for it. I suggest checking the manual for the headset to be certain that it is in pairing mode...I know that every time I have to pair my Plantronics headset I have to refer to the Plantronics manual for how to do that. I'd also suggest skipping the "quickpair" thing and doing it manually.
Good luck!

Leopard and Plantronics Voyager 510 headset problem.

I try to post here a message that i've posted in another section of the support board, maybe this is more appropriate with the problem.
I have a plantronics voyager 510 bluetooth headset that i've alway used fine with Tiger. Since it's a multipoint headset, i use it with the mac and the nokia cellphone at the same time. When it was paired with tiger, after powering on the headset, the bluetooth connection was established only in case of need (for example when i received a call with skype). Then, at the end of the call, the bluetooth connection between headset and tiger stopped, so that in case of need i was able use it with the cellphone.
The problem i have with Leopard is that when i switch on the headset, osx start a connection with it immediately, also if it doesn't use it, so that the headset it's always connected and busy for nothing!
This is causing some trouble to me now. Is there any setting i'm missing? Note that in the audio preferences, i told to osx to NOT use the headset at all, which is just configured under the skype audio tab.
Thanks for your time.

having similar problems w/ 2 different devices since leopard install. both worked fine w/ tiger

2.6.30 and Plantronic DSP 500 USB headset

Hi,
First of all, sorry if I made mistakes in english, my first language is french.
Here is what's worried me:
I was using archlinux since kernel 2.6.28 and my headset was working fine, even with the kernel 2.6.29 series too.
After 2.6.30 upgrade, my headset microphone has stopped to work (in fact it's always in mute state).
I haven't try to rollback my kernel because at this time I had never did it before and I've prefered to try a fresh install... which did not work.
Unable to make it work, I've tried Ubuntu 9.04 (which is using kernel 2.6.28 series) and confirmed again that the device is working fine.
So, again, I've completly formated my hard drive and step again with a fresh install.
Here is a quick 'how I proceed':
Install from archlinux latest CD and used network install to be up to date from the begining.
I've installed gnome environment. For the audio part I've proceed like this:
pacman -S alsa-lib alsa-utils
I've added 'alsa' to my rc.conf file
After that, I've launched 'alsamixer' to configure my audio board device (which is working perfectly).
I've lauched 'alsamixer -c 1' to configure my plantronic headset. I set the volume levels to the middle (by the way mute/unmute function made power on and off the mute led on the headset making me think that the device is correctly detected).
I used 'sudo alsactl store' command to store my config.
If I launch gnome audio volume control applet, my microphone is always flagged as muted. If I unmute it; after closing the applet and launching it again; it show's me again a muted microphone.
After some time (I don't know how long I must wait), the headset led is going back to red meaning the microphone is in mute state.
If I reboot, the microphone is mutted too.
Well, in few words, I have no more idea on what to do...
If someone have some ideas it's welcome.
Regards

Galaxy S5 and Plantronics Voyager Legend

I got the Voyager Legend Headset when I preordered my S5. The headset worked perfect with my Motorola Razr maxx.
Now with my S5 the headset auto answers every call as long as it is turned on and paired to the phone. Doesn't matter if it's on my ear or not it will auto answer the call.
I took it into a Verizon store they weren't able to determine why. They even grabbed a brand new one off the shelf, paired it to my phone and it did the same thing. I contacted Plantronics whet through all of their troubleshooting and still no change. Plantroncis recommended exchanging it for a new one.
Since I had seen another one already have this issue I thought I'd post this on this forum and see if anyone else is having this problem and see if anyone has found a solution.
Things I've done.
1) Installed the Plantronics app and checked all the settings
2) Updated the firmware on the headset and checked the settings with the plantronics website
3) Tried changing all the "answering and ending call" options on the S5
4) Unpairing the headset and repairing it.
5) Tried using the headset with the s5 in safe mode
Anyone have any more thoughts or suggestions?

I have recently just got the solution.
Even Samsing wasn't able to help. After going through all the settings on the S5 I found the fix.
Go to Settings --> Applications --> Call --> Call Accessories. There is an option for Automatic Answering. Uncheck that.
The headset will now work perfectly.

IPhone 4 and Plantronics Voyager Pro

Apple sells plantronics headsetds,..mine worked great with my blackberry,.my iPhone doesnt pick it up??.Anyone have any IDEA why?

Ok, for those of you who have a Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset, I got a connection/"pairing". This is what I did:
1) I turned off my bluetooth headset.
2) Go to Settings in iPhone and turn "on" your bluetooth so that it is searching ...
3) Then I turned on the headset until I saw the blue light, AND CONTINUED to HOLD DOWN the on/off switch until the blue light was FLASHING.
4) The "pairing" took place during the flashing.
Holding down the power button on your Voyager Pro headeset acts like as a "hard reset", and starts a "new" search for a new device or new software, in this case it's iOS5 or your new iPhone, or both.
Before doing the steps above my iMac (desktop computer) had the same problem of not "discovering" my bluetooth headset. But after I did the steps, I set my iMac to "discover mode" and the "pairing" between these two devices was successful.
OTHER bluetooth headsets
Try doing a "hard reset" on your bluetooth device, if you are trying to connect with an iPhone, iPad, or desktop computer that is running iOS5 or Lion.
The problem seemed that my bluetooth headset was trying to connect with devices that were paired with previous operating systems (ie: iOS4 or Snow Leopard). When I upgraded my operating systems to iOS5 and Lion, my bluetooth needed to "start fresh", hence the "hard reset" on the bluetooth.

Differences 8830 and 8820

What are the differences between the 8820 and 8830?
I thought I had purchased the 8830 only to find out that I had the 8820, which is fine.
I did read that there is an update to the 8820? Is that software available somewhere and what does it update?
What I didn't know was they the 8820 has a known issue where some of the devices just lock up for now reason. Since the is a known issue, I am surprised that a recall was not sent out. Now I have spent several hours on the phone, trying to get a replacement device and trying to find out how to get everything from my current device on to my replacement device of the same 8820 model. I have take such care to have my current faulty 8820 setup the way that I want it, I know have to start all over -- maybe.
This is a great board and am so glad that I was directed to it. Thanks to all the contributors and great responders!

I'm having the same problem too. I found an online tutorial...

Bluetooth connection 8830 and 8890 (devices are paired)

Hi, I have not been able to connect my old 8830 to my newer 8890 via bluetooth. They are paired perfectly, but as soon as I hit the connect button on either of them the message is that the connection failed. Any thoughts on what the issue can be?
Thanks.

Linksys WRT160NL system link and Corsair Voyager 16GB USB Flash Drive

I want to connect my Corsair Voyager 16GB flash drive to WRT160NL system lin. It shows up in firmware, but claim button does nothing.
I've formated flash to FAT32 and upgraded router firmware to the latest, but Flash drive still doesn't work.
How could I fix this?
Switching to http://openwrt.org/ firmware would help? Is it worth to use openwrt firmware and which one would you recommend using with 160NL?
Message Edited by Original on 08-07-2009 07:35 AM

After firmware upgrade it doesn't show my Corsair 16Gb or Adata 2Gb at all... but I've found that 2GB Sandisk micro SD card with a USB adapter works just fine.
Though I would like to find a way to use 16GB corsair anyway, because it's faster and bigger.
