IPhone 3G S and Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800

I just started evaluating the Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 headset. It looks promising with its ultra-compact size and decent sound quality.
However, I am having a major issue with the headset. It does not have volume control built in, meaning volume must be controlled on the iPhone. However, using the volume switch on the side of the iPhone does not work when it is paired with the HBH-IS800 (or any other BT headset, for that matter). It seems to contradict with Apple's following KB article.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1840
Does anyone have any idea what I may be doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated.

I bought Sony Ericsson's HBH-IS800 headset and I just can't believe this. Why is'nt there a volume control in iPhone for headset devices? I've been so impressed with iPhone that this though never even occurred to me. Just thinking that iPhone would play at FULL VOLUME and not let me choose a volume level was not something that entered my mind before buying this headset. Apple usually means quality and excellent user experience but this scenario is a failure. If I use the volume controls on the iPhone then naturally the output volume to the bluetooth device should be adjusted accordingly. Is'nt that what anyone would expect? I've been disappointed for the first time since I decided to buy iPhone. I really hope this is fixed in iPhone OS 3.2.

Calling all Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 Users!

Have any of you updated to the latest 3.1 iPhone firmware? If so, does the volume control problem still exist with the HBH-IS800?

Strange, volume control, fast forward, rewind are controlled by AVRCP, why does it say here that AVRCP is supported by the latest iPhone OS for 3G, 3GS and iPod Touch 2G : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
This means that it should work ! Is there a toggle or something in settings ? Can you check ?

HT204387 Can I use the Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 with an iPad?

The iPad doesn't see it when I turn bluetooth on.
It works great with my iPhone but not the iPad.

Turning the device on will not put it in pairing mode. Consult the manual for the Sony Ericsson device on how to put it in pairing mode.

Nokia 5800 with Sony Ericsson HBH-PV770 disconnec...

I manage to pair and talk thrue the headset but it disconnects after a few minutes.
They are compatible acoarding to http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/sony-ericsson-hbh-pv770-p15660.htm
What to do ?

The Nokia 6300 phone is designed to meet Bluetooth Specification 2.0, hands-free, headset, generic access, generic object exchange, object push , file transfer , dial-up networking , SIM access , serial port , service discovery, personal area network , advanced audio distribution and audio video remote control profiles.
the above specification will fully support the advanced music control features of the DS980..on the other hand for full control over phone book the phone should support bluetooth phone book access which i don't think the phone does. "a point that has to be confirmed by other members".
another point is the laguage used on the phone, if you're using non english characters on you phonebook , please change one of the names to english letters and see if it appears on the headdset. if it does then the headset only supports certain languages and phone book entries has to be in that form to appear.
please tell me how it goes with you
Fear not those who argue but those who dodge

Using Sony Ericsson HBH-608 Bluetooth Headset for mac

Dear All,
I have decided to pair up my "Sony Ericsson HBH-608 Bluetooth Headset" to my macbook.
I have successfully paired it up with my mac, but i am not able to use it.
I mean, i want to use it as a mic and headset to get over calls using skype.
Can some body suggest me wat went wrong in the process and why i am not able to use my bluetooth device ?
Cheers and Thanks !!

Nopes. I cant see that.
But in Bluetooth devices, I can see my headset configured and paired with the mac, but it is not connected for some reason. The headset stops beeping which means it is connected. But it is not being shown there.
I think there are some connection probs. Ways to find it out ??
please let me know

Bluetooth funktioniert nicht
Wer hilft mir?
Danke

Well, I found a temporary solution. When you are having a conversation at iChat and want to leave it, don't close the conversation first, but try to close the headset pressing the button for a long time. The OS will get the message "Bluetooth Disconnected" but the next time the headset (open it again of course) will work!
Try it!

Linksys WRT54G3G-ST and Sony Ericsson GC89 Compability?

Is the WRT54G3G-ST compatible with the Sony Ericsson GC89 EDGE/Wireless LAN PC Card?
My Broadband Internet provider uses only this card and WRT54G3G-ST appears to solve some our problems.
I have been asking my Broadband provider to confirm if the GC89 will work with WRT54G3G, but no one has been able to confirm or deny if the card will work with the router.
The information that I have about this card shows the following drivers
NDIS 5 driver
PC/SC driver
Can someone help me to confirm that the router will work with GC89

According to the information in Linksys, this router also support the following card from Vodafone.
Vendor Model
Option GlobeTrotter HSDPA
Novatel Merlin XU870
Huawei E618
Huawei E630
Novatel Merlin U740
Option GT 3G+
Huawei E620
Option 3G Datacard
Option 3G Quad
Novatel Merlin U630
And these cards too...
Pantech PX-500
Sierra AC595
Novatel S720
Novatel S620
Sierra AC580
Sprint PC5740
So I'm hopping that this router does work with other card other than Sprint.
Is there any way to check if it will work, other than trial and error?

Mac os x and Sony Ericsson are they compatible

I have a Cellphone Sony Ericsson W41S, I plugged to iMac 20" PPC and tried to sync it, no luck. How can they communicate with each other? Any solution?
Thank you

Apple has a compatibility list for phones that work together with isync:
http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/isync/devices.html
But there are quite some phones that are not on the list but work anyway. So i think your SE phone should be able to connect to your mac.
But as you can see on the bottom of that site, SE phones can only connect via bluetooth to the mac. So if your phone has bluetooth built in, you should try this.

My two new docks don't work with my iPhone 4s (TDK and Sony)

Hi all,
I hope someone can help me. I bought the TDK dock it was pricey and it is compatable with 4s or so it says!
The same goes with the Sony dock, compatable with 4s.
My phone is a iPhone 4s. version 7.0.4. Everytime I try to use these over priced docks, the stupid phone says 'this accessory isnt supported by iphone'
I tried to reset by holding down sleep and power for 10 seconds, i did a setting reset and nothing is working.
Can someone please help me, I am just so upset
I paid so much for these, I was hoping to play music at the birth of my baby.
Thank you kindly in advance.

Hi Peter,
Thanks for the reply. I will give that a shot when I get a new cable. Today while decorating the christmas tree, i put the phone on the sony dock to charge and pressed play on my phone just to play from the phone thinking it wouldnt work and then 2 minutes later it started blasting from the sony speakers. I almost fell of the chair! So it might take time to kick in? And then everytime i got an sms or email the thing totally syopped and that was it. Grrrrrrrrrrr

Connection lost 10 seconds after pairing with Sony Ericsson HBH-300

Hi all,
I becoming mad with this, hope someone can help me!
I have a HBH-300 headset that I can pair easily with iPhone. When I do it, bluetooth icon turns to blue and if I give a call in the following seconds no problem, everything works just fine.
But if I wait for more than 10 seconds after pairing or if I try to give another call 10 seconds after the previous one, then connection is lost. BT icon is grey and pushing the main button of my headset doesn't change anything, connection is definitely lost.
I have tried to shutdown both iphone & headset and try again, it doesn't help.
That headset works perfectly with many other phones (at least 4). This is the first time I run into such trouble.
Unpairing and pair again is a workaround of course but it is obviously not acceptable...
Does someone know what happens here and how I could solve that problem?
Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks guys for your feedbacks,
Just one question regarding the behavior of the iPhone in the bluetooth menu.
When I go to that menu, ok I can see my headset device with status "paired" but I can state also that the "heartbeat" icon close to the menu title (not sure about the title exact name as my menu is in foreign language) never stops blinking...Like if the phone never stops searching for other available bluetooth devices.
I found that behavior quite strange because on all other phones I have owned until now, the "searching for device" mode has always been temporary and it stops as soon as the available devices list is updated and complete.
It doesn't necessarily mean that something is wrong but I found that menu logic quite inconsistent.
Do you experience similar behavior?
Regards,

ISync 2.4 and Sony Ericsson T610

I have always stored contacts in my T610 as "Last Name, First Name" and never had a problem syncing with my Mac address book. Now with iSync 2.4, "Last Name," ends up in the First Name field and "First Name" ends up in the Last Name field. This seems like a bug. Has anyone else seen this?
eMac 1.25 GHz w/ SuperDrive Mac OS X (10.4.9)
eMac 1.25 GHz w/ SuperDrive Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Maybe I should have been more clear about this.
You cannot install iSync 2 or later using Pacifist from anything but a Mac OS X 10.4 or later Install or Upgrade DVD - either the one which shipped with your machine, or a commercial universal installer disk.
You don't have the option at the bottom of the Devices menu because, no matter what you might believe about the process you followed, you STILL have iSync 1.5 installed. The list of menu items you show is the view in iSync 1.5, not iSync 2 or later.
You need to locate your Mac OS X 10.4 or later disk or purchase a retain version, and then follow these instructions:
Launch Pacifist. Insert your Mac OS X 10.4 Install or Upgrade DVD in your optical drive and wait for it to mount. Press the now-activated Open Mac OS X Install Packages button in Pacifist. Wait for the window to appear - it will take some time to load all of the resources - then double click on the Contents of Essentials.pkg file to open it, double-click on the Applications folder, select iSync.app then press the Install button.
That will install a copy of iSync 2 into your Applications folder. Then run the Mac OS X 10.4.9—at minimum, or the 10.9.10 or 10.9.11—Combo update for PowerPC or intel processor based machines—whichever is appropriate for your platform—to update it to release 2.4.
There is no other way to do it: Pacifist. Original disk. That's it.
