Poor performance of Plantronics 510 bluetooth headset with BB8820

Although this post indicates that my bluetooth headset (Plantronics Voyager 510) has been successfully tested with BB smartphones, conversation partners often complain that they don't understand me well when I am using it.  The headset worked well with my previous smartphone (HTC Wizard).  My BB8820 is running OS 4.2.2, as it is the latest version supported by my provider (Orange Switzerland).  I have also had complaints when using the bluetooth handsfree interface in my car (Nissan Qashqai).  How can I get satisfactory performance?

An update to OS v4.5, which I found on the Orange website, seems to have improved matters slightly, but not much.  Any tips?

  • Will Plantronics Voyager 510 bluetooth headset work with the latest macbook

    i just received my latest new macbook last week and am considering buying the Plantronics Voyager 510 bluetooth headset for all voice communication over yahoo, ichat or skype (current version of skype has problems with leopard firewall, i hear skype guys are working it out to release a fixed version). So can someone tell me if they tried successfully using a bluetooth headset with the latest intel mac that ships with leopard?
    I am posting this new question after having read about the skype bluetooth headset threads on which i could not figure out the answer!
    Any help is appreciated!
    Thanks, neil

    Please see the "Voice Mail doesn't work with Bluetooth" item, as it would appear that some of the headsets do work, some don't. My Plantronics 520 no longer works with the Voice mail, but works with everything else. I have an old Motorola bluetooth (850) however, and it both works for calls, and is seen by the voice mail.
    By the way, this reference is to stay tuned, as the issue has not been resolved, but there are plenty of responses there, so you're not alone with Plantronics compatibility. Hopefully volume of issues will get priority on software fix.

  • Plantronics 655 bluetooth headset not working with macbook pro

  • Is my iPhone 3GS compatible with a Plantronics 975V2 Bluetooth headset?

    Is my iPhone 3GS compatible with a Plantronics 975V2 Bluetooth headset?

    I resolved it. I had to put the Jawbone into 'pairing' mode, by holding down the Jawbone it two different places. So it is compatible.

  • Using my Plantronics 340 Bluetooth headset as a pc VOIP headset.

    I am trying to use my plantronics bluetooth headset with my computer, as a microphone/earphone combination, with the popular gaming VOIP software Teamspeak.
    I have a notebook from an other manufacture running XP SP3. My Bluetooth stack is a Toshiba one. I reinstalled the Toshiba drivers/software because it was still using the generic Microsoft ones before, but I can't seem to get it to detect the headset.
    What am I doing wrong? Please let me know if you require any more information about my hardware/software configuration in order to answer my query. The system is able to detect bluetooth enabled mobile phones, just not this headset seemingly.

    Right click on the Bluetooth systray icon click on New Connection -> Select "Custom Mode" -> ...
    Now you should be able to select the headset profile.
    By the way if the software can control the headset then use the VoIP option. If you would like to control you headset with button clicks and so on then do not enable the VoIP option during the setup.

  • Compatable bluetooth headsets with E series

    It would be great, if guys using a bluetooth headset with E series phones could rate them,it could help a lot of people out there.I myself could not find a single review on line that does this job.
    Be free to include non-nokia Blue tooth headsets too,because all that matters here, is the quality and not the brand.

    Hi,
    I use the higher end Nokia headsets. The BH-803 is not bad and is recommended on the site. It will turn itself off if not used or connected within 30 mins. It has DSP as well. It is pretty good. The best all around headset that I have is the Plantronics 640. Very nice.
    Many SE headsets work better than the Nokia ones, but considering they all pretty much use the same chipset (BT), you will not notice much difference.Message Edited by sapporobaby on 15-Oct-200704:41 PM

    How do I use a bluetooth headset with garageband? I can't get it to work after many tries.

  • I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first.  If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email then.  Is there a way to fix this?

    I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first.  If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email from the phone screen.  Is there a way to fix this so the phone doesn't have to be unlocked?

    Apple, as I'm sure you know, now manage official phone 'unlocks' directly rather than the Newtork doing so.
    When a GSM Network Provider buys a consignment of iPhone's they are locked to that carrier and may only be officially unlocked if said carrier requests it. If so, it is Apple who do this, via iTunes.
    I am therefore inclined to think that part of the any generic iTunes syncing process involves the transmission of key hardware data, including IMEI, to Apple whenever the handset is synced.
    If this is the case and, as each iTunes account is linked to a credit card, were Apple to maintain a database of genuinely stolen phones (ones reported to Police) they could advise said Police force when a stolen phone stuck its metaphorical head over the parapets once again? They would be able to identify the name & address of the new user.
    I have spoken to the Police here in Ireland today and they regularly engage with Apple on such matters.
    This may not be tracking as we know it Jim, (not using GSM Triangulation or GPS) but it's arguably even more targetted and leaves an indelible fingerprint of guilt on the thief.
    The laws here are simple in this regard, if you are in possession of stolen property, knowlingly or otherwise, you forfeit the goods once the Police show up. Whether you get prosecuted depends on whether you stole the goods or were duped into purchasing them.

  • Can I share a bluetooth headset with my iPhone 4 and my Mac?

    Can I share a bluetooth headset with my iPhone 4 and my Mac? I don't mean both at the same time. I just think it's silly to buy a separate headset for each. I'd like to be able to sometimes use the headset with my Mac and other times use it with my iPhone. Is this possible? How hard is it to set up and is it annoying to switch over from one to the other.
    The headset would be used 75% of the time with my iPhone.

    Contacts can be synced direct with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 via the iTunes sync process along with syncing calendar events, notes, and reminders. This is selected under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
    If you don't use Outlook for contacts - your Outlook address book is empty, before the first sync for this data enter one contact in the Outlook address book. This will provide a merge prompt with the first sync for this data.
    Or if your iPhone 4 is running iOS 6, you can create your hotmail account using the hotmail account preset with the iPhone's Mail app per the instructions included with this link. If your iPhone 4 is not running iOS 6, you will need to manually create the account as an Exchange account.
    http://www.wikihow.com/Sync-a-Hotmail-Account-on-an-iPhone
    Regardless if you have any contacts available in your hotmail online address book, you should be provided a merge prompt when turning contacts on for over the air syncing with your hotmail account settings on the iPhone, which you want to select. This will merge your existing iPhone contacts with your hotmail online address book and merge your hotmail online address book with your iPhone contacts.
    To have the contacts available on the iPhone 5, create your hotmal account with the Mail.app on the iPhone 5 followed by turning contacts on for over the air syncing with the account settings on the iPhone.
    Or after syncing your iPhone 4 contacts direct with your Outlook address book, sync your Outlook contacts with the iPhone 5.

  • Can't pair up my Samsung WEP410 bluetooth headset with my iphone

    I am able to pair up my samsung bluetooth headset with my other phone. Once I try to connect it with my iphone, my iphone just showing searching forever.
    is there anybody know what's going on???
    THanks

    I have the same headset and paired it successfully using these steps:
    1) Put iPhone in bluetooth discovery mode (Settings > General > Bluetooth > On). While on this page your iphone will have bluetooth visibility on and will search for devices.
    2) Put your samsung headset in discovery mode by holding down the large button for 10 seconds. You should see a constant blue light (not flashing).
    3) Your iPhone should detect the headset and ask for a pin code, enter 0000.
    4) Your headset should now show as being paired with the iPhone.

  • Use Bluetooth headset with Shuffle?

    Is there anyway I can use a Bluetooth headset with my latest generation iPod shuffle?

    There is no built-in Bluetooth, obviously, but I suppose it is technically possible if you plug in a Bluetooth transmitter like this one
    http://www.iogear.com/product/GBMA211W6/
    which works with anything that outputs audio through a mini-stereo jack.  It might look somewhat rediculous with a tiny iPod shuffle connected. 
    It might be better to get something like this
    http://www.arriva.com/shuffle/index.html
    where the shuffle becomes part of the headset, with no cord in between.
