HS-500 - on/off switch issue?

Hi,
I am a new owner of the BlackBerry HS-500 headset. I have been using it over the past few days to connect up to my PS3 and Bold 9700 at the same time (as the device is advertised to be able to sync with more than 1 device at the same time), and while i can get either one or the other to work, i can't have them both running at the same time. From what i read this is to do with the functions of the headset that are being utilized and are nessasary to both my PS3 and BB, but cannot be used by both together.  I'm slightly irritated that they can't both work together, and nowhere in the tiny 1 page instruciton manual does it state that two devices wouldn't be able to have input/output together.I just wanted to point this out so anyone else looking to purchase this headset gets a chance to know the facts before they buy.
Anyway, the main reason i'm posting here is because of an issue i have encountered with the on/off switch on the bottom of the headset. Basically, no matter which way i have the switch positioned the headset still functions EXACTLY the same! Is that normal? It's almost like the on/off switch is just there for show and wasn't meant to really do anything! I have been through the product manual, but i can't find anything relating to my problem, and to be honest it doesn't seem to give much detail about the device anyway.
I'd be very grateful if any other owners of this device or any technical support could let me know if this is normal for this device or if this is a faulty device on my part.
Thanks

on the headset there are two controls :
a button that clicks
a switch with two positions : on / off.
both controls work fine on my device. If your switch does not work I suggest you have the device changed.

  • Java script on off switch issue in IE, Please help

    Hello;
    I wrote this little script that is an on / off switch for a background sound on my web page. I have it working in all browsers accept all versions of IE. I have been pulling my hair out for weeks trying to get this script to work in IE and have only met failure. There has to be a way to get this thing to fire properly and I just can't figure out what I am missing.You can take this script, add your own sound and see how it works. It is very simple.
    code:
    <head>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function stopSound(){
    document.getElementById('PacSound').src='../video/silence.wav';}
    function playSound() {
    document.getElementById('PacSound').src='../video/RollerPop.wav'; }
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    <embed src="../video/RollerPop.wav" id="PacSound" autostart=true loop=true volume=100  hidden=true>
    <noembed><bgsound src="../video/RollerPop.wav" loop="-1" volume="100" delay="0" id="PacSound" hidden="true"/></noembed>
    <!--- the links --->
    <a href="javascript:stopSound();" >Stop Sound</a><br />
    <br />
    <br />
    <a href="javascript:playSound();" >play sound</a>
    </body>
    I am so frustrated with this. I have tried a number of different approaches to this code and I always meet failure. I am trying to make it work so the page does not re-load it's self, just turns it on and or off.
    Can anyone please help me figure this out?
    Thank You

    I suggest a search on the Internet for Microsoft and Javascript. Be as specific as you can and you might turn up a page or resource that shows what Microsoft supports.

  • Cannot shut off computer with powerr on/off switch

    Dear friendly  Computer Geeks,
    My computer is an HP desktop , product s5-1110, microprocessor Intel Pentium CPU g620 @ 2.60 GHz , Bios 7.16 , usb input device, hard drive st31000524as, windows OS 7.
    The computer crashed , I could not determine the reason. I was able to save my personal files by starting the computer in Safe mode. Then I loaded the virgin OS 7 as provided by HP in the hard drive partition.
    It would not start in the regular way.  I then initialized it , pressed  the escape key to enter in safe mode, select restore default values then proceed to start windows in regular mode. A problem keeps coming on. After 20 minutes of operation I cannot stop the computer with shut off command or with the Power on/off switch. I must remove the power cord and when I want to restart it I must do as described before.
    I would appreciate your help in resolving this troublesome problem.
    I appreciate your courtesy and cooperation . I send my Thanks and my best

  • Ipad app icons shaking but won't delete, home button does not work, power off switch does not work

    I just got a new ipad air and have started to add apps to it.  I have added a couple of free apps which I have also deleted (moved to icloud).  I have also a couple of apps (free & purchased) which I have on it now.
    Now my problem:
    I tried to remove another free app.  I press and hold the icon.  All app icons shake and display the 'x' for removing, but the 'x' for does not work on any of the icons.  Also, after this, the home button does not work as the icons keep shaking even while I am pressing the button.  And the power off switch on the side of the device does not work either.  If I close the smart cover and reopen it shows the home display and all the icons still shaking (instead of showing the passcode sign-in display).  Fortunately (well, fortune in the misfortune) if I press the home button and off switch a couple times each and close the smart cover and wait, the device awakes normally.  Well, normally until I try to remove any app.
    So what do I need to do to fix this?
    Thanx
    Brian

    Glad it worked. Anytime your iPad acts up, the reboot/reset is a common first thing to try. And it clears up many issues and glitches.

  • Although I set the on/off switch to ON with "change with buttons," the alerts will not change individually.  Any suggestions?

    I'm having issues with the alerts volume control.
    Although I set the on/off switch in settings to ON with "change with buttons", the alerts volume will not change individually.  Any suggestions?

    I don't mean to be rude or anything but did you check to see if it's on hold? I had the same problem, I nearly worked myself to tears trying to figure out why it wouldn't turn off! hope you fix you're problem.
    P.S.-Maybe you should just let the batery run out till it goes dead, hey, then it will be off right?

  • Verizon MI424WR On/Off Switch Usage

    After every internet or Cable on-demand session, I typically shut-off my router via the on/off switch on the back of the router (I do not unplug the router).  I turn the router back on when I need internet access or need access to on-demand options.  It takes a minute or two to boot-up.
    My question is:  Are there any long-term detrimental issues with shutting off and turning on the router on a daily basis (sometimes 2-3 times a day)?
    Thanks
    Solved!

    The router should be left on since guide data for the STBs downloads in the background.
    With the router shut off you may find your self without guide data.
    What is your concern about leaving it on?  Electricity usage?  Security?
    If it's security, the firewall in the router blocks all inbound ports.

  • How to turn off switch primary & secondary buttons in Win 7 - Mac Mouse

    I screwed up - I checked off "Switch Primary and Secondary Buttons" in Win 7 Control Panel - now I can't UNCHECK it with my 1 button mouse?  Tried google but nothing is working - how do I turn it off WITH a 1-button mouse?  HELP!

    I think I solved my problem by running the following command:
    sudo slapconfig -destroyldapserver diradmin
    diradmin is the name of the Open Directory admin account I created.
    The Open Directory Service now appears "off" and no longer had the green dot next to it in the list of services.
    Obviously, NOT a good solution to someone who was actively using Open Directory as this appears to have deleted all the data associated with Open Directory.
    Users and Groups now allow me to add/delete/modify.
    Sad to see an Apple product have such issues.

  • S750 - How many people get the power on/off/resetting issue?

    How many people get the power on/off/resetting issue?
    I've had my S750s for about 6 months, with X-Fi Elite Pro, and has been doing it since.
    Any idea on what's the cause? Something to do with the control pod?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    What do you mean exactly? On my side I have power on/off/resetting issue when the speaker are in standby mode (thus red light on the control pod) and when I switch them on via the remote control or the control pod. It makes a strange noise in the subwoofer ("clic"), the red light disappear, then a new noise and the speakers are switched on. The problem is that all volume levels (rear / side / center / sub and main) are reinitialized! I have to configure them each time this problem appears...
    I have a Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS connected to this speaker system. For me it is related to an electrical problem in the subwoofer like if the voltage was not stable (variations).
    Regards,
    Vincent

  • 16 GB on/off switch

    It seems my touch on/off switch has suddently become very sensitive. If I even brush the on/off switch on top of the touch, it goes on or off. Normally, I would have to press the button... Is this an issue with the hardware, or is there something I can do??? Any help would help....

    Sounds like there is a legitimate hardware issue there. I would suggest that you just get a replacement from the Genius Bar by making an appointment at the store of your choice (www.apple.com/retail).

  • When I click on a link in an email, the comoputer locks p and the screen goes black, requiring a shut down from the on-off switch. My version of Firefox is up-to-date.

    The on-off switch is the only way I can turn off the computer, because the screen is black. Then I turn on the computer again to reboot, and when I click on Firefox again it takes from 30 to 90 seconds before Firefox opens, at which point I get a message asking if I want to begin a new session. Then I open emails and don't click on any links. If I check my email using Internet Explorer, the problem does not occur. Your help would be appreciated. After 50 years of operating comoputers, I have never seen this problem. Regards----Lloyd Schultz

    Fred...thanks, but this is not about one site. The same thing happens often, with many sites, when i click a link that has come up in Google search, or on Twitter or Facebook or within a story I'm reading. The link takes me to the url of what it was supposed to take me too, then within a second or so it switches to that Yahoo 'error handler' url, a page that offers search for similar sites.
    Again, thank you.

  • HOW do we get you guys (and gals) to STOP CHANGING THE INTERFACE WITHOUT AN OFF SWITCH ???? A FEATURE WITHOUT AN OFF SWITCH IS JUST ANOTHER DEFECT !!!

    Every time I choose to, or am forced to, upgrade, there is at least one stupid / un-useful/ performance or usability killing change to the Interface.
    Make the product better or faster but STOP making Front End changes that cannot be undone, and also please document all front-end changes and how to set them back.
    Beta testers are NOT a good poll for customer assumption. I beta many programs and am always shocked and amused at just what other users think is "useful", but i NEVER would suggest a front-end change without an 'OFF SWITCH" or "Choice-seletion" - that way, everyone is happy.
    I.e
    1 - New download window just sucks. I don't need to see History, the left waste-of-space window, nor the waste of space that comes from NOT having a 1-lin per download display
    2 - Who was the brain surgeon who decided that no one wants menus, and then did not document it - we all had to find out in web searches just what key under about:config turns off that stupid button
    3 - Tools/Options .. WHERE did all the OPTIONS GO ?? There used to be pages for each tab ?
    Note - this is being sent from an XP system - but the same stupid things happen on my Win7 and Linux systems

    I thought this was a gateway to the programmers and did not mean to deliver my scorn and distaste to you.
    no offense, but your suggestions, all of them fall into the "just accept it and move on" category - which is just NOT acceptable to me.
    .. I just ran into another "improvement" in 21.0 that has my teeth on edge .. and then the automatic update-notifier, if it was aware, would wonder why I strenuously refuse to upgrade .. - Every time I upgrade, something stupid is added or something useful is removed, and the only 'official' answers are to use a 3rd party add on or just 'accept it', or spend time, a LOT of time, decompiling and recompiling old FF code and adding it back into the current version to regain the Front end I want ... which is VERY time consuming.
    How does one speak to, talk to, contact, the actual programmers or Product managers of this once-wonderful tool that is now running dead last behind Opera, Chrome and Safari (which is two years old and still better than version 21).
    ....I just restored my original downloads window, menus AND behavior but it took a week. I sent the message that you replied to when I was just plain stuck in rebuild, with no idea what was wrong. Took my son to notice an extra paren and comma ...
    PLEASE tell me how to speak to, email with or at least contact, the actual programmers or Product managers ..
    thank you
