N80 V4 still has bluetooth headset issues

As above really, thought this was resolved in the new firmware, but i am still having major problems hearing anything through the headset. It connects and pairs fine, and connection seems stable, but regardless of me changing the volume, i still can't hear anything through either a Sony Ericsson or Plantronics headset.
Any ideas as to a resolution, or am i stuck with this annoying bug till the end of time....?

The solution is very simple guys, though not pleasing to your hip pockets.
Ultimately, Nokia has never been able to get the Bluetooth technology reasonably compatible across all other brands. It was atrocious at the first inception of it back in 2001 and whilst vast improvements were made over the years, the reality is my theory continues to remain true. That theory is, Nokia bluetooth audio products are the only products that work best with Nokia bluetooth capable phones. They don't work necessarily 100% (I lost count as to how many times I had to power cycle my HS-4W headset before it got stolen), but they do give you more mileage than a 3rd party product. The only exception I find to this is their ridiculous move with the 610/616 car phone kits in which several handsets made after 2005 seem to work only with the later model 616 car kit thereby forcing the user to spend more money. What's the point of going bluetooth if Nokia is going to screw the customer like this?
Until Nokia learn to get it right, preferably using a Toshiba or Sony Ericsson based chipset, bluetooth audio will continue to be an absolute pain in the **bleep** outside of the Nokia accessories realm. Of course, maybe Nokia has a method behind this madness in terms of cornering the bluetooth accessories market but they won't fess up to that.

  • Bluetooth Headset issue

    While the latest version of Osx has fixed the problem with bluetooth headsets not working properly, I have a couple questions on its usefulness.
    1) It seems that once setup, the mic stays hot the entire time its activated which runs the batteries down in no time. Is there a way to have the OS only activate the mic if I open a program that uses it like starting a call in skype?
    2) The mic in the OS constantly adjusts itself based on external noise, is there a way that I can set the gain in settings and it actually stays the way i set it? The internal mic seems to operate normally but the bluetooth constantly increases the gain until it begins to sound bad.
    Thanks for any help,

    I bought a nokia bh-702 bluetooth headset. When connecting with E71, everything is OK, except that no ringtone comes from the headset when there is a incoming call.
    Could you please tell me how to enable the ringtone from the headset while keeping the cellphone mute?
    Thanks in advance!
    Hello,
    I've got exactly the same pair (E71 + BH702). The ringtone comes to headset if "general" profile is activate on E71. It doesn't come if "meeting" profile is active.
    My problem is much more awful: very low volume when talking. How did you manage to increase volume with this headset ?
    I would highly appreciate any information
    Best Regards,

  • Bluetooth headset issues

    Is anyone having issues with the Verizon 4S and dropping calls when using a BT earpiece? I have an ICON that when I am on a call and another call comes in...it drops both calls!

    i had better luck then u did, my sony ericsson bluetooth headset paired and worked fine with my macbook osx 10.4.6.
    only until i poped in a cd with a mix of home made short video clips the problem arised. when i try to preview them on finder the error msg same as urs pops up... even thou my bluetooth is switched off! every time i press the arrow key to move to n other clip the error msg pops up, really annoying. at the end i had to un-pair the headset to "solve" the problem.
    i hope the future apple update can solve this problem.

  • Lumia 820 + Creative WP 350 bluetooth headset issu...

    Hi, 
    I have tried using Creative WP 350 bluetooth headset as hands free, but the microphone sound is unclear and speech very hard to understand. Sound is muted and fuzzy. Voice quality is much better with couple of other brand phones (Android 2.3 and S40)
    I have tried resetting the headset and all the official updates have been installed in Lumia. Is there anything that can be done, or will this headset be incompatible with Lumia 820?  
    Technical information of WP 350:
    Bluetooth Version: Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) Supported Bluetooth Profiles: A2DP (Wireless stereo Bluetooth), AVRCP (Bluetooth remote control), HSP (Headset profile), HFP (Hands-free profile) Audio Codec: aptX, SBC

    Does ANYONE have a solution?

  • Lightroom 2.3RC and Fast MBP Mac 10.5.6 Still Has BIG Memory Issue

    Lightroom 2.3RC still have a big memory issue on my Macbook Pro (Feb 2008) with 4GB of RAM both in 64bit and 32bit mode. After working on photos in a catalog (using Activity monitor) Lightroom causes my Free Memory to hover around only 10MB or less (causing Lightroom to continually hang or crash) while Inactive RAM sits at 1.5GB! Lightroom should be using this Inactive RAM rather than taking my Free RAM down to nearly nothing and causing freezes or crashes.
    This is not as much of a problem in 2.2 32bit mode, but is a problem on 2.2 64bit mode. However, now with 2.3RC this is a problem on both the 32 and 64bit modes. Please Adobe address this huge huge huge memory problem in Lightroom. Why does Lightroom 2.2 32bit handle memory pretty okay but not Lightroom 2.3RC 32bit mode or 64bit mode? Why did 2.3RC break what for the most part worked in 2.2 32bit mode (even though that wasn't too great either).
    Also I am only running Lightroom (no other programs). I admire the product Adobe, but this problem has persisted far too long and is making Lightroom unusable.

    Hmm. I've been sticking with 2.1 until hearing widespread reports of stability. Every time I checked the forums, I didn't like what I heard about 2.2 so I stayed away. I dropped by to see what the Mac users thought of 2.3. Have you tested on another machine? I assume 2.1 was good for you? Can't wait to see what others are experiencing.

    Hello Joolader. Posted below is an Article that seems based on what it is your doing. I have also posted a couple other articles along with Damon's, As well as some additional troubleshooting steps.

    How to pair iPhone Bluetooth Headset http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305664
    Additional Troubleshooting.
    1. Turn iPhone off then back on. Simply hold down the Sleep/Wake button and slide to power off, When the screen turns dark. Press the Sleep/Wake Button for 3 seconds till you see an Apple Logo. Once the iPhone boots backup, Now try Bluetooth again.
    2. Reboot the iPhone. Press Sleep/Wake and Home button together, Let go once you see Apple Logo. iPhone will Reboot and come back, Now test Bluetooth
    3.Go to Settings- Toggle Airport Mode on, Then Off, Retest Bluetooth
    4.Go to Settings- General-Reset-Reset Network Settings, Retest Bluetooth
    5. Now that we covered all the basic settings without touching data. If you still can not get Bluetooth to work try the last couple steps.
    6. Find another Bluetooth headset see if the iPhone sees it.
    7.Backup your Data, Restore iPhone, Test Bluetooth
    If this all fails. Take your iPhone and Bluetooth headset to an Apple Retail store, Where they can attempt a couple more last min troubleshooting steps on iPhone.
    If another Bluetooth works with your iPhone then you had a Bluetooth headset issue. But taking your Bluetooth headset into Apple Retail will allow them to test it on other iPhones to rule out an issue with your hardware.
    Please book an appointment at your local store before going in.

  • Any Bluetooth Headset Recommendations Out There?

    I realize the new 3G doesn't have voice-call activation (name recognition/dialing) capabilities... but interested on anyone out there that
    a. has Bluetooth headset recommendations?
    b. specifically around the Jawbone 1 and Jawbone 2?
    AT&T Stores indicate that the slimmer Jawbone 2 is a hot-sell, but has the highest return rate compared to the Jawbone 1? Jawbone 2 is more comfortable but its plastic contact with the jaw is not consistent, creating breaks in conversation for those on the receiving end? They also offered feedback that while both Jawbones are the best on the market, the Jawbone 1 is better, despite its bulky size. (I know, another bleed site for the controversial 3G battery life) Anyone's feedback will be appreciated. Thx

    If it was last yr. you must have tried that bulky Jawbone 1.. i can see where you would have been attracted to iPhones BT. I ended up getting the Jawbone 2 and after three days no problems and seemingly satisfied. Plantronics 800 series wasn't available (I think the 856 or 865?)
    Thanks for your input though... If I return my Jawbone 2 in the next week or so, I will chk out Apple's but its reviews on Consumer Reports and CNET Reviews were not very high to others out there? To each their own I guess... almost like having buy suntan lotion at a CVS with A LOT of different choices.

  • Has anyone had trouble with their bluetooth headset? (even after pairing)

    Has anyone had trouble with their bluetooth headset? I have a Motorola H700 that pairs with the iphone but takes about 10 seconds after i hit send for the connection between the phone and the headset to be established. I also get allot of static when the headset is more than 3 feet away from the phone. (this headset worked perfectly @ about 40' with a Motorola Razr I had)

    my iphone 5 is not finding any bluetooth divises. trying to connect to bluetooth hands free but its not searching the divice. what do i do to connect bluetooth headset.

    have you tried toggling bluetooth off/on again? if so, try doing a hard reset:
    Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new. 
    In that case, follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If you still can't detect or pair with any compatible bluetooth device you should offer the device for service.
    If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
    Using his article will erase everything on the device, so make sure you have a backup!
    Good luck

  • 10.4.8 Issues with bluetooth headset

    Hello!
    I have always used a Logitech Bluetooth Headset with the SIP client XMeeting under OS X 10.4.5 without any issues. AfterI updated to 10.4.8, the headset only works when I switched on PRIOR to booting the Mac.
    If I switch it on after booting the Mac, its LED blinks blue with a strange sequence (two short blinks every 2 seconds or so - a headset state that the user's guide does not even mention).
    But even if I switch it on prior to booting the Mac, it will not really connect (i.e. get out of standby mode) when I start XMeeting, instead it will connect with a delay only when I start a call with XMeeting.
    Does anyone else face issues with bluetooth headsets? Or has someone found a fix for that?
    Thanks,
    Erik

    Issue resolved with patches to 10.4.8 and follow-on versions.
