Headset for 2 devices

Hi.
I am looking for a bluetooth headset for the following use case.
"I will receive and make phone calls by mobilephone and laptop. I need a headset that works with both of them at the same time".
Feature list tells that BH-607 and BH-904 can be connected to 2 devices. What this actually means? Could both of them fit to my prupose?
Thanks in advance.

1. Turn device to be paired off and than on
2. Make sure device to be paired is in discoverable mode
3. Turn off all other paired device that are nearby
4. Make sure device to be paired is in range

I have a 3GS. Am trying to sync a plantronics explorer 232 Bluetooth headset and can't figure it out. I have Bluetooth turned on but it searches for devices and the headset never shows up. Anyone know exactly how to do this? My tech skills are lacking

I have the same blueparrott headset headset with the directions. Actually reading them just fixed my iphone pairing issue.
Here they are in case u still need them along with what I needed to do to get mine to work with iphone 4
Pair Headset with Phone
Turn off headset off
Hold down headset's MFB (large top button) until red & blue lights flash and you hear 2 rising tones, followed by 4 more tones. Must wait for all before you release the MFB button!! (I had my hubby hold the MFB while I waited for the tones since both come from the headset
Release the MFB and follow your phone's instructions to place it in 'bluetooth' discoverable mode. With the iphone4, go to "General" and then "Bluetooth" and turn indicator to "ON".
This is where my issue occurred as the phone could not find the bluetooth, although it worked with my LG phone. So after trying it several times thinking I was nuts and that the issue was with the iphone, I looked further in the blueparrot's directions and found this step that fixed the issue.
Reset Paired Devices List
On the bluetooth, press and hold down both the volume up & volume down buttons for 5-6 seconds. A double beep will be heard and the list will be reset. Pairing info for devices previously paired will be lost.
The bluetooth directions provide this as step 4 but that did not work for my phone (see below)
4. Once the phone discovers the headset, select "pair" and enter "0000" code and that when pairing is complete the blue light on the headset will stop flashing and phone will prompt you to 'connect'.
This is what I had to do after resetting the device list on my bluetooth
4. My iphone instanting discovered the headset and displayed it under 'Devices" but showed a message that it was 'not connected'. Once I selected the device on the iphone by pressing on it then it changed to "connected".
Even when I turn the bluetooth on and off the device remains on the list and alll I do is select it to connect and disconnect after I turn on my blueparrott bluetooth
I hope this helps others!

Best Headsets for SoftPhone

What are the best sound quality headsets (monaural wired, USB, monaural wireless, USB, monaural wireless, Bluetooth)? I've tried some that sound ok, and some that sound just horrible. And some Bluetooth Plantronics devices are not even seen by the SoftPhone.
BTW - we are still running CM 3.2(2c) (for now).

Hi Mike,
Headsets are of course a very personal "choice" type of item. We use Plantronics headsets and our users really like them. What version of softphone are you using? Here is a link to the supported Plantronics headsets for Cisco Softphone 1.3
http://www.plantronics.com/canada/en_US/productfinder/productlist.jhtml?refresh=all&mftr=CISCO%20SYSTEMS&_requestid=579398
There is also this new DA40 adaptor that will allow you to use a whole range of Plantronics headsets.
" The DA40 connects any Plantronics professional headset (for example, SupraPlus® headsets) to any softphone using the computers USB port providing customers with an attractive alternative to consumer-grade headsets."
From this doc;
http://www.plantronics.com/canada/en_US/press/releases/index.jhtml?id=pr_20051021_1828_en_US
We personally like the H-171 headset.
Hope this helps!

Bluetooth/USB headsets for iBook G4

I would like to buy a headset to use with my iBook G4, and I just want to check and see if anybody can verify that a Bluetooth headset will be ok with my computer.
I don't have Bluetooth built in to my computer, but I do have an external Bluetooth adapter, which I use with my wireless mouse. Should any Bluetooth headset therefore also work with my iBook G4?
Sorry if this question has been asked/answered before. I've been looking around the forums for about 30 minutes, and most answers I've found are directed at MBP users only.
I only plan on using the headset for Skype, if that makes any difference whatsoever.
Thanks very much in advance for any insight that anybody can provide before I buy.
iBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi, Technoclumsy and Dave —
TC, please accept a warm welcome to Apple Discussions.
I know a few things about Bluetooth implementation(s) by various manufacturers, but don't use a headset. So my response is dependent on research and reading about others' experience. Please consider it in that context.
(1) First, I think you'll find the most useful resource here is the Other Bluetooth Devices forum, where there are many threads about Bluetooth-enabled devices such as headsets, phones, PDAs, etc. A search for "+headset" in that forum provided more results than you'd care to read in a single sitting.
Among many, I recommend you take a look at these posts by Alexander Traud — ( A ), ( B ) — in a thread called "Bluetooth headset to use with Skype" (look through the entire thread). Some of what he says may be a little more understandable based on context discussed below.
(2) Shop skeptically. Unforunately, it's a bit difficult to make definitive statements about compatibility, functionality, and reliable connections of Bluetooth-enabled devices — particularly when mixing devices manufactured by different companies. Despite the fact that Bluetooth is an open-source technology, it's also rapidly evolving and implemented in slightly different ways in different brands. More on this in a minute...
(3) Many adapters aren't supported. Apple only formally supports its own internal Bluetooth modules (cards) and D-Link DBT-120 adapters, Revisions B2, B3, and B4. While other companies may claim Mac-compatibility — and their adapters may work — this has proven spotty. The one sure thing that may be said is that Apple has only designed its firmware updates to "flash" its own modules and the specified adapters.
(4) Who cares? Well, that matters in a couple of ways. The inital Bluetooth Specifications had a lot of problems, and were improved significantly by Specification (version or v.) 1.1 in 2003. Many adapters and devices are still designed to this v.1.1 standard — but Bluetooth has evolved a lot since then, with the release of v.1.2 and 2.0+EDR (the latter requires a different Bluetooth chip, and is what's currently "built-into" the iBook G4, the MacBook Pro, and other new models). Devices designed to the newer Specifications are backward-compatible — but some things (profiles, for example) must be available for both.
To make a very long story a bit shorter, the major changes in Bluetooth Specification v.1.2 vs. 1.1 included:
• Addition of many new or revised "profiles" that enable different types of applications to communicate via Bluetooth
• Improved resistance to interference from other 2.4 GHz RF sources (by spread-spectrum adaptive frequency hopping)
•Technical improvements in connecting, detecting errors, and synchronization capability.
(5) Need current Bluetooth software and firmware for the headset profile (HSP). As described in KnowledgeBase Article 151411: Which profiles does Apple Bluetooth support? , availability of HSP requires that you have Bluetooth Software 1.5 for Mac OS X [02/05/04] and Bluetooth Firmware Updater 1.2 [11/23/04] installed. You can check the former in System Profiler »» Hardware »» Bluetooth (with Views set to Full profile): if it reports Software Version 1.7xxxx or later, the software update is installed. (You can post back to discuss this, if unsure.) For internal modules, I'd expect to see Firmware Version 2.xxxx or 3.xxxx if the firmware is current. (Unfortunately, the firmware version may not be reported for adapters in System Profiler.) Please note Alexander's caution in the cited thread that "flashing" an adapter to upgrade firmware takes much longer than you might expect; and that you should see a dialog indicating success in updating the firmware when complete.
(6) In summary, I recommend that you use the specified D-Link adapter — or confirm with a high degree of certainty that another adapter is compatible with your iBook and OS X 10.4.6, has HSP, and meets the appropriate specification to match the headset. If you do have an appropriate D-Link DBT-120 adapter, be sure to upgrade firmware and to check / upgrade software. As to recommended types of headsets, please refer to others' experience described in threads in the Other Bluetooth Devices forum.
I hope this is helpful to you,
Warm regards to you both,
Dean
For clarity, please note that this is all directed to the use of headsets. Apple software does not currently support the A2DP profile for stereo headphones.

What is the best bluetooth headset for iPhone 5?

What is the best Bluetooth headset for iPhone 5 for talking no music?

I've tried all the majors: Bose (1 model twice), Motorola (2 models), Jawbone (5 models) in almost every model.
Bose is good but such an odd nub just sitting there on your ear - bad athestics. Device is fine but not right for me.
Motorola seem to have troublie with iPhone specifically.   They don't stay paired and noise-cancelling has been bad. I tried 3 pairs of the Elite Silver with no luck. Great concept to have a case that charges the device but bad device. Same issue with the Oasis.
Jawbones are good and I've had 5 of them.   They seem to degrade in voice cancelling quality over time based on feedback of people I talk to but they are solid.   I'm sure I just beat them up but they do seem to go bad.
My best experience have been BLUEANT, both the Q2 (bought 2) and teh Q3 (own 1).   Q2 are solid but they have this issue with a metal screen that inevitable breaks off, not affecting call quality but a pain.   Q3 have fixed that but they are just a bit bulkier.   Good features (voice answer & address book) and solid. These are just awesome and good instant on that simply isn't true of all of the devices. Only downside has been no battery meter on the Q2 for the iphone but a solid workhorse.
I just got a new Motorola Whisper and so far I'm impressed.   First motorola that has solid noise reduction and doesn't seem to have the random unpairing issue with the iphone.   It's early yet but great design and comes with a case.
I hope this helps.

What is the best stereo bluetooth headset for iphone 3gs? or 3.0 version??

i would like to know the best compatible stereo bluetooth headset for my iphone 3gs.. since apple didn't release one.. any 3rd party headset MODEL will do.. hoping for your response..
ps.. nokia, sony ericsson, motorola, samsung devices are included with the "3rd party devices" thanks!!! =D

There isn't any - iPhone simply don't work proberly with a bluetooth headset.

Can anybody actually RECOMMEND a bluetooth headset for the iPhone?

I see a lot of bad experiences, & not too many good ones.
Can anybody actually RECOMMEND a bluetooth headset for the iPhone? I just need one that works, with very little features (ie: redial button on headset).

I've actually posted another thread, and I don't mean to take over the original members post, but I'm hoping this will help others who may be having the same problems. Thanks to all of you who have posted your results with the various headsets!
I am now on my third iPhone 3G in under six months. The first one would drop calls when the corded Apple headset was plugged in during the call, and the second would cause the caller on the other end to hear an echo when I used the Apple headset. Plus, it did not respond well at all to Bluetooth headsets. Tons of static, call echoes, and noise cancellation not working.
My experience with the Jawbone 2 has been disappointing. I have heard way too many testimonials of satisfied iPhone users who love the JB2, so I'm beginning to think it's just me. I went through FOUR Jawbone 2 devices in under a month, all because of poor sound quality, and the Noise Assassin not working properly.
The white rubber tip sat very well against my cheek, and the default medium earpiece fit perfectly in my ear and was very comfortable to wear. Everything seemed to be in order, but the same problems would arise over and over again. I would get poor sound quality on both ends of the call, and people could hear the tv or the radio playing in the background on my end.
Maybe the structure of my head isn't suited for the JB2, but I have a very normally proportioned head. I refuse to believe it's the device——It has been rated highly by too many people to be the issue. I've all but given up on it, regrettably.
The Plantronics Discovery 665 I tested had issues with static. I would hear it on my end, even thought the phone was no more than two feet away.
I'll give the Plantronics 925 a try, as well as the Blue Ant V1. We'll see...

Stereo headset for 6030

That model was made for the Iphone so I am going to imagine it is not compatible.
I know of some wired that have play/pause button on them, however if you are looking for play, pause, vol and call answer you might be better served with a bluetooth headphone.
http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles/Consumers/global/flash_content/microsites/s9hd/index.html This one runs about $50 at places like Amazon.
I already have a bluetooth headset. The problem is when I am in our data center floor I get too much interference over bluetooth and it becomes basically unsuable. The reason why I am looking for a wired stereo headset.
You can try checkingout the V-moda Vibe duo, or take a look at this list of headsets that have all been tested with the DX. I don't think you will find one that covers all the features you want though, might have to compromise on one of them.

Bluetooth continuing to search for devices

I have a new Jawbone headset which has paired fine with my iPhone 3G. However, the "Devices" status is continuing to spin in search of other bluetooth devices and won't stop. I'm concerned this will kill my battery. My assumption was that after pairing with the headset, it would stop searching.
Any ideas on how to get it to stop searching for devices?
Thanks.

It searches for discoverable devices +while you are in Settings > General > Bluetooth+, and for a brief period of time after that. It does not continue after that and will not drain your battery. Of course, if you go to Settings > General > Bluetooth to check, it will start searching - sort of like checking to see if the fridge light is off by opening the door.

Recommend headset for IP communicator

Just doing some research and wondering if there is a choice set up that everyone uses? Looking for a usb based wireless headset for softphone. Let me know if there is a tried and true combo.

Hi Mike,
Just to add to Greg's good info;
About Choosing Headsets and Handsets for Cisco IP Communicator
Even though internal testing of third-party headsets and handsets for IP Communicator has been performed, Cisco does not certify or support products from headset and handset vendors. Because of the inherent environmental and hardware inconsistencies in the locations in which IP Communicator is deployed, there is no one best solution that is optimal for all environments. Cisco recommends that customers test the headsets and handsets that work best in their environment before deploying a large number of units in their network.
The primary reason that support of a headset or handset would be inappropriate for an installation is the potential for an audible hum, either a hum heard by the remote party, or by both the remote party and the IP Communicator user. Causes for the hum range from electrical lights near the PC to the PC power source itself. In some cases, a hum experienced by a user using an audio device that is plugged directly into the PC USB port may be reduced or eliminated by using a powered USB hub.
In some instances, the mechanics or electronics of various headsets can cause remote parties to hear their own voices echo back when they speak to IP Communicator users. The IP Communicator user will not be aware of the echo.
Finally, some analog headsets do not match the electrical characteristics for which some soundcards are designed. The microphones on such headsets are frequently too sensitive, even when the input levels in IP Communicator are reduced to their lowest values; the voices of users on such headsets will sound distorted to remote parties.
It is important to ask IP Communicator users whether a particular headset sounds good to them. In addition, remote parties should be queried as to the reception from IP Communicator when using a particular headset.
Testing performed in Cisco labs has shown that the Plantronics DSP 300 and Plantronics DSP 400 have performed well with IP Communicator, but it remains the customer's responsibility to test the headsets in their environment.

Bluetooth constantly searching for devices

When I (successfully) connect my BT headset, the iPhone seems to be constantly still searching for devices.
Is that normal? It seems to run away with battery power.

I'm assuming it only searches when you have the BT settings page open.
Once you close it the search will stop...(hopefully)

Data not coming from DOE to Mobile After defining Rule for device attribute

Hi All,
I have created a DO and rule for it.In case of Bulk Rule for all definition when i triggere extract from Portal then all the data comes to outbound queue but when i define rule for Device attribute then no data comes to my Outboun queue.Here is the scenario what i am doing :
1. I have order header in my backend which has a field named "Work_Center" and this will be criteria field.
2. In CDS table i have all the records for all the work center.
3. Now in RMM under customized , i have added an attribute named "Work_center".
4. Now i defined a rule with Device attribute mapping and activated the rule.
5. Now on Portal i assigned this data object and in the device attribute tab i assigned the value(this value exist in CDS table for few orders) of a Work center to the attribute "Work_Center" .
6. Then i triggrere extract but its Outbound queue is empty, what could be the reason.
Is my approach is correct
Regards,
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,
You can check one ore thing, after you have performed all the steps till step 5, i.e. just before triggering
extract. Check if the AT table for ur DO has entries based on the criteria specified by you...
1. In the workbench click on the Data Object, and then right click and select "View Metadata".
2. Select Distribution Model tab.
3. Now select your DO's Association table.
4. For the input field DEVICE ID specify your corresponing device id,and also for status field specify it
as "I" and execute
If there are any entries now in the AT table, and on triggering extract if they are not coming to the
outbound Q there is some EXTRACT Q blocked. And is there were no entries in the AT then the rule
specified is not the satifying.
Thanks,
Swarna
Now if you have entries w

Purchase icloud storage for devices in different countries

Hi,
Just to relieve my system pressure. Was going to post a question. But I need to let out my grunts:
My experience with Apple is kinda written in blood. But for now I've got to live with it.
Well I'm a Globetrotter, so is my family. And Apple is not designed to have international support.
Accidental Damage: Don't buy that 'accidental damage' if you move around the globe. Isn't valid outside your region of purchase.
A good insurance or purchase through American Express is the secret to get a broken iPhone replaced.
AE replaced an broken iPhone and send me a replacement within 48 hours. Thats what I call service.
Purchase international models: Ask for it or double check what model you get. If you don't have an international model they (Apple Store) refuse to service it outside your region. Yes Apple and International Support is a joke. Only in the US the Apple Stores are great and understand we don't only stay, live and work in 1 country.
China service: Never, never service it in China. Mine got serviced (battery exchange) at an authorized service point for free.
Checked at the Apple Store in Shanghai, back home still had problems....Local Apple Store checked the phone....warranty voided.
6 months old iPhone slowly died in the month after. The suckers in China reinstalled something inside upside down and never registered it in the repair log.
Few months later back in China with the phone...No sir we didn't do it, we always register any repair.... Liars.
Microphone:
Now I've got an EU iPhone in China with the microphone very soft. Including 'Accidental Damage', Apple China refuse to support it. It was bought in Amsterdam. A firmware update fixed the problem partially thanks to US support.
But it's annoying my kid has to use a headset for six months until he's back home and get it serviced here.
And I don't want to buy him a Chinese iPhone, cause then he doesn't get service when he's back home.
Good, finally out of my system. And remember the US Apple employees have always been the positive exemption in the last 10 years or so.
So after the long story here comes my cross border question:
I want to extend the iCloud storage from Europe for my family.
Using different App-Stores was already a crime. Thanks again for the US support to help switching stores.
1 account is switched to the Chinese Appstore
1 account is switched to the US Appstore
Question:
Is it possible to pay in EU for iCloud accounts valid in China (RMB) and in the US (USD)
As in the end they will end up back in the EU.
What happens if you extend the storage in 1 country and then move to another country with a different currency and extend it again?

To the best of my knowledge, purchased storage stays with Apple id it is purchased to. To the best of my knowledge, it is unlike itunes store, and is not obligated to comply with local laws/regulations for downloads.
I wish sometimes that people like you could create tips on do's and don'ts internationally, since we are all a bit shortsighted when it comes to Non our country situation. Unfortunately that tip here will die in the dark.
BTW, I think your switching store may backfire for you, but I am sure you were informed of that on the phone.
Question:
Is it possible to pay in EU for iCloud accounts valid in China (RMB) and in the US (USD)
They do not care( they will charge in acceptable units and card will take care of exchange rate), as long as card is accepted by corresponding store ( it is if it is on your file, and if not on file -you will find out as soon as you try to put it on it )
As in the end they will end up back in the EU.
What happens if you extend the storage in 1 country and then move to another country with a different currency and extend it again?
I think I already answered that one.

HT201401 My bluetooth is no longer working in the car - it keeps 'searching' for devices

My bluetooth is no longer working in the car - it keeps 'searching' for devices. Anyone ever had this issue?
Thanks

Can you connect from your phone to another BT device, not the car? If you haven't ,I'd try a reset of the phone by holding the home and power button down. Next step would be to talk to your dealership and see if they have any ideas. Sometimes software can either get updated on iOS or on the vehicle and it can cause problems. Every dealership seems to have a go-to person that handles issues like this. Getting to know him or her well and getting their direct phone number will pay big dividends. A device restore might be necessary, but if it were me I'd talk to the dealership first.

Hp LaserJet 1200 Generic Class: Waiting for device

I have 2 computers that I want to print to my hp Laserjet 1200 printer. We are using an iogear 4-port usb 2.0 sharing switch. One computer prints fine but the other always displays a message "Generic Class: Waiting for device." Help!

Both computers have the printer driver installed. The usb device does not have a driver to install. You just plug in the usb cords to each computer and the printer. You only install a driver if using a pc operating system.
