[SOLVED] Jaybird Sprint bluetooth headset

Anybody has it? I've tried everything from Bluetooth Headset wiki page, but nothing sees it as a device. Here's bluetoothctl log:
[NEW] Controller 00:02:72:DC:61:24 eudaimonia [default]
[NEW] Device 30:85:A9:DE:3D:68 Nexus 7
[bluetooth]# scan on
Discovery started
[CHG] Controller 00:02:72:DC:61:24 Discovering: yes
[bluetooth]#
Nexus 7 sees it, Arch is not. I have pulseaudio and bluez installed. What can I miss here?
EDIT: Pairing was not enabled, duh.

  • How Can I get my JayBird Freedom Bluetooth Earbud Headset to Work with my MacBook Pro-Retina

    I have a 1st gen iPad and a relatively new MacBook Pro 15 Retina.  As well, I also have a Jaybird Freedom Bluetooth Earbud Headset (Mic/Stereo Speakers).  Finally, I have a Droid X (I'll explain in a minute why I mention this).
    My BT Earbuds can pair with my iPad and my Droid X just fine.  As a matter of fact, it can bind with my iPad for audio, and my Droid X for phone audio at the same time.  However, even when the Droid X and the iPad BT is disabled (on both), my MacBook Pro will not work with the Bluetooth earbuds.  I am able to pair them (it shows as a Jaybird Freed Headset, and shows that it can be used as an audio output/input device), but when I try to use the earbuds for audio, it almost hangs up for a few moments, then finally fails and reports that "there was an errr connecting to your audio device.." with the "stop using headset" as my only option.
    My MacBook Pro Gen 2 with Snow Leopard used to be able to pair with this headset.  I'm not sure if it is the OS or the newew generation laptop.  I have seen a few other threads on this, but no fixes that work for me.

    Just posted a problem I'm having connecting my Jaybird Freedom and iPhone5 (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4716045). The Jaybirds connected fine with an iPhone4s and another (forgotten) device so I don't think the problem lies with the Jaybird. I'd be interested if you hear differently.

  • Are the JayBird Freedom Sprint Bluetooth Headphones good for the iPod air

    Are the JayBird Freedom Sprint Bluetooth Headphones good for the iPod air

    I have the motorola S9. Works great through the whole house. Listening to them right now as I type. Odd, I can hear the click of the keyboard through the headphones.

  • Was the general problem with the bluetooth headset solved in the new ios 5 or in the new iphone 4s

    was the general problem with the bluetooth headset solved in the new ios 5 or in the new iphone 4s ?
    thank you greatly
    also i would like to know what are the diffrences with the bluetooth 4.0 vs 2.1
    ( the bluetooth headset i was thinking of is jawbone icon series thinker black )

    Hi,
    I had HUGE issues with a BlueAnt Q2 on the 4, and after five exchanges, I had to get rid of the phone becuase the Apple store admited that they had "some bluetooth issues."
    I still have the Q2, and I was wondering the same thing becuase I realy want an iphone.

  • Jaybird JB 200 Bluetooth headset connects but no audio

    Hi,
    I have T400 with Windows 7 64 bit.  I've installed the latest Bluetooth drivers.  I can pair the Jaybird JB 200 headset, the system says it's connected, but I don't get any audio.  The headset is silent and no controls work. 
    What am I missing to get this to work?
    Thanks

    hey mpjb,
    it is really hard to say on what is missing, but could you try the following,
    1. uninstall the bluetooth stack
    2. add new hardware(bluetooth) and let the Win7 install it's generic bluetooth stack,
    see if this works.
    also does the Jaybird work on a different machine ?

  • Need help pairing bluetooth headset [totally solved]

    OK, I have the two following pieces of hardware:
    Motorola H350 Headset
    ASUS Bluetooth USB Dongle, using a CSR radio
    I'm trying to use btsco to use my bluetooth headset. I haven't gotten it to work yet. What I'm posting here is what I'm doing, my config files: and the results I get.
    /etc/bluetooth/rfcomm.conf:

    I anonymized the MAC of the Bluetooth headset because otherwise, somebody would probably yell at me for the security vulnerability. Because with that MAC, someone could uh ..... they could ...... uhm ...... well I anonymized it anyways.
    So without further ado, here's what I do to try and get my bluetooth headset going:
    [root@yvonne bluetooth]# lsmod | grep ^snd_bt_sco
    snd_bt_sco 14028 0
    [root@yvonne bluetooth]#
    That ensures I've got the appropriate module loaded.

    I've got HCID going, with DBus started first (read up about that on the forums)

    Note that each time after I wipe out the keys from /var/lib/bluetooth, I'm putting the headset back into pairing mode by holding down its "phone" button.
    So I'm kind of at the end of my rope here. Something is going wrong during pairing, but what is it? dmesg isn't giving me any clues here either. Is the PIN not getting transmitted properly or something?[/code]

    Ok, there's some strange things happening with bluetooth these days it seems. I had a lot of trouble setting up a connection to my phone, even after following avery bit of advice I found on the net.
    But somehow I found a way, and now it works. I had to do some things not documented anywhere, excepte from some obscure places from 2003 etc.
    The most significant problem I encountered was that my phone would never find my computer, even though I set pscan and iscan enabled.
    Here's a line of code I found that fixed the problem for me. It could work for you too, since your problem looks exactly like the things I saw when the phone couldn't see my computer.
    dbus-send --system --dest=org.bluez /org/bluez/hci0
    org.bluez.Adapter.SetMode string:discoverable
    I write this after the bluetooth system has started.
    Hope it helps 

  • [SOLVED][Bluetooth Headset] Speaker works great, microphone not :(

    Hello everyone,
    Thanks to this topic, I manage to have ALSA recognize my bluetooth headset correctly (originally I use it on my phone, works great).
    My problem now is : the speaker part is working correctly (I can hear sounds coming from mplayer or aplay on test files) but I can't record any sound ! The only thing I can get is a noisy, continuous scratch sound when I try very basic commands like :
    arecord -D btheadset -f S16_BE blah.wav
    My .asoundrc file :
    pcm.btheadset {
    type plug
    slave {
    pcm {
    type bluetooth
    device 00:1D:82:B4:59:19
    profile "auto"
    hint {
    show on
    description "BT Headset"
    ctl.btheadset {
    type bluetooth
    Is there any way to get that functionnal ? Am I doing something wrong ?
    Thanks for your help.

    Following your advice, I try this configuration :

    pcm bluetoothraw
    and that does not the trick

  • [Solved] Bluetooth headset. Anyone know how to set up?

    Hi.
    I have a Kinivo BTH220 Bluetooth headset, and I have no idea how to set it up in Linux.
    It appears that the wiki article is outdated and incomplete. Does anyone have Bluetooth working for them on the up to date packages?
    Last edited by *nixer (2013-11-21 00:54:43)

    blueman-git seems to have been dropped from the aur, and the blueman-bzr uses bluez4. I tried bluez4 with blueman-bzr but had several errors.
    I ended up downgrading the blueman package from the repo you posted, and blocked it from being upgraded. It didn't give the errors blueman-bzr did right off the bat. (ie - an error window when loading X)
    I added 'Enable=Source,Sink,Media,Socket' to my '/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf', and created the '/etc/asound.conf' with the required setting both per the wiki article. Obviously, I replaced the XXs with my headset address. (Note: the asound.conf file is installed by pulseaudio-alsa, so I had to manually create it.)
    After pairing, and connecting to the 'headset service' & 'audio sync' in blueman, I was able to receive output from both aplay and mpv (mplayer) successfully as per the wiki article.
    This will work for now as I really wanted it working for media playback, but I noticed all system sounds still played through the default speakers.
    Out of curiosity, I also tried connecting to it manually via hcitool, and bluez-simple-agent.
    # hcitool scan
    Scanning ...
    XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Kinivo BTH220
    # bluez-simple-agent XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX
    Traceback (most recent call last):

    message, timeout)
    dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.bluez.Error.NoSuchAdapter: No such adapter
    Any ideas on how to get sound from the main system for things like web browsing and the like?

  • Ios 6.1.4 Phone calls not working from Jabra EasyGo bluetooth headset

    I updated to 6.1.4 yesterday
    I use Jabra EasyGo bluetooth headset.
    Music streaming is fine with the headset.
    Problem is it doesnt respond to any phone call or dial  commands.
    Tried it on another friends iPhone 5 with iOS 6.1.3 it works
    Please help to solve as I depend on the bluetooth my work drives car a lot.
    Tq

    I don't think I can restore the back up from iCloud, because I did not back it up to iCloud before the update to OS 6.1.4.  I don't think this is related to voice samples because it seems to cut in and out, like Siri is not 'hearing' me, due to a problem with the microphone.
    Apple please help!

  • Bluetooth Headset will not work following upgrade of PC desktop software

    Recently I updated my laptop with the latest desktop software in order to allow synchronization between Microsoft Office 2010 and my blackberry tour.
    The sync works!
    But now that I have upgraded, I am having a problem with my bluetooth headset.
    After syncing my phone to my PC over bluetooth, my bluetooth headset connects to the phone ok but when you try to use it no sound comes through either the headset ear piece or the phone.
    So if you try and dial a number, the phone rings where you are calling but you cannot hear the ringing or the person on the other end once they have answered it.
    To correct the problem you have to remove the battery from the phone.   Then once you replace the battery and wait 5 - 7 minutes for the phone to re-initialize the headset works just fine.   Until the next time you sync the phone with the laptop of course.   Then the headset stops working again.
    I have tried deleting all the bluetooth devices from the phone and re-connecting them.  Does not help.
    Anyone else seeing this problem?
    This is my 2nd blackberry.   My 1st was a Perl on T-Mobile. Never had a problem.   But this tour from verizon has be a problem from the start.    Think my next phone is likely to be anything but blackberry!

    Hello ralpha,
    I would suggest you back up your BlackBerry data and clear the Bluetooth Options database. Re-Pair your headset and try making calls again.
    KB10167 will show you how to clear individual databases.
    Let me know how you make out.

  • System sounds through the Bluetooth headset while listening to audio

    Not sure if anyone had this issue, I have read a few about cars and bluetooth connections but no mention of system sounds not operating.
    I was using Motorola S9 bluetooth headset and the music was fine, but after I returned home I noticed that I had missed several text and some email notifications. The sounds operated correctly without the headset connected so, my only guess is would it be related to the Bluetooth operation?
    Thanks, Joe.
    Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

    Could this be patched in the 2.0 release? I can't wait til christmas; no really, I hope they don't take that long to release the update.

  • No sound on my Sony Bluetooth Headset because Windows 7 can't find Bluetooth peripheral device driver

    SO, I am dealing this problem for the second day in a row and no working solution still. I own the latest iMac 2014 (though the model is exactly as 2013) 2,7 Ghz with Bluetooth 4.0, I've installed through Bootcamp Windows 7 x64. My bluetooth headset Sony DR-BTN200 http://store.sony.com/bluetooth-headphones-zid27-DRBTN200//cat-27-catid-All-Home -Theater-Headphones (which is on Bluetooth 3.0 and of 2013 year model) is working fine with Mavericks and Yosemite on my MBP, but not working as it should on iMac with Windows 7..
    THE PROBLEM: I find the headset, connect it, but afterwards Windows writes that no drivers for Bluetooth peripheral device were found (3 or 4 encriptions like this, so, 3-4 drivers needed). The headset itself guarrantees fine working with Windows 8, the producer doesn't give any drivers to install, you won't find them on Sony's website - it should work as plug-n-play, they say those drivers are preinstalled on Windows 8.
    WHAT I'VE TRIED: So, the problem, as I've read from many-many-many sources is common for everybody running Windows on Mac devices. In cases with notebooks it is easy to solve (if you know it) - download the Bluetooth software from Broadcom (the producer of Bluetooth adapters/receivers of  Macs) http://www.broadcom.com/support/bluetooth/update.php - install, it finds the devices and istalls correct driver. This worked with my MacBook Pro 2010, on iMac it stucks on recognizing devices - nothing happens next, like it doesn't recognize any bluetooth device. Downloading many other drivers packages didn't help either, nor Toshiba Bluetooth helpers could detect Bluetooth headset to properly download the correct drivers (though it was already recognized by Windows, just couldn't connect properly), nor different other programs like Bluesoleil, Blue manager and so on.
    On other notebooks and computers many try to install manually the drivers, usualy Microsoft Windows mobile-based device support. I've tried to install many drivers, all of the Broadcom drivers I've found (including the Broadcom Bluetooth 3.0 USB driver that makes the headset work on MBP), and I must say that Windows recognizes (doesnt show the yellow triangle next to the icon of the driver) only for the Microsoft Windows mobile-based device support driver. Though it's like that, the sound still is not playing out of my headset. On MBP after the drivers were installed, I chose the device in Printers and devices and there was an option of Control (maybe I remember the name wrong), it went first in the right-click menu, and aftewards there was a page were I could connect my headset through ticks/checks on different options. Nothing like this appears if I install any of the drivers on iMac (nor Broadcom, nor Win mobile-based). I must also mention, that some kind of package that I've downloaded from Toshiba or Acer's Broadcom Bluetooth kit, I don't remember, installed some bluetooth drivers (Bluetooth Audio, "receiver" if I recall it correctly and 2 more), that were recognized as right drivers for peripheral device when I connected my headset, but even then - no sound came out of the headset.
    HELP ME: What shoud I do? I've tried all of the methods that are on the net. Sony store won't help me out, because the problem is not in the device - it's in the software/hardware of "your iMac". The headset works with Mac OS, should work fine with fully-Windows PCs, it just doesn't with iMacs on Bootcamp Windows. The interesting thing is that updating windows to Windows 8 might also not help, since Sony guarrantees only work on pre-shipped with Win 8 devices, not with the upgraded devices. I do think the problem is with drivers, that Mac's Bootcamp utility doesn't come with pre-installed Bluetooth drivers for connecting Bluetooth headsets, only for the Apple mouse and keyboard. I must also mention that I've tried to install manually many of the Broadcom drivers, all of which were for Bluetooth 3.0 or 4.0, they didn't help.
    It's awfull that I've got the latest iMac, so the latest hardware and face such problems. I only think that a cheap 5-7$ bluetooth-usb adapter could help, maybe it could recognize the headset and therefor install its own drivers for its manufacturer. But I don't imagine how would it work and connect since iMac has a peinstalled Bluetooth receiver. Is there a software sollution? An app or driver?

    So, finally I found what worked for me: Re: Full Bluetooth functionality in Bootcamp (audio, A2DP, FTP, OBEX) third variant, none of first 2 worked.. The only trouble was to find the correct link since on Acer site there is no download link. I've googled for "Bluetooth_Atheros_7.4.0.96_W7x64_A.zip" since this is the archive the guy is actually talking about. The 4th link on google was http://www.laptop-software.com/Acerdriversdownload.php?GDFiles/Driver/Bluetooth/ Bluetooth_Atheros_7.4.0.96_W7x64_A.zip?acerid=634556349384706773&Step1=Notebook& Step2=Aspire&Step3=Aspire%204830Z&OS=721&LC=en&BC=Acer&SC=PA_6 and I chose to downlad from the first download link. Then the steps are:
    1) unzip the folder
    2) don't look for x64 or x32, there is only a one installer called "Bluetooth_Suite_win7"
    3) install Bluetooth_Suite_win7
    4) after it installs Windows starts downloading and recognizing drivers, I don't know how it actually works, but it also downloaded and recognized the unrecognized before drivers for my Bluetooth headset.
    5) Restart Windows
    6) Turn on headphones - they connect automatically, everything works and works great, the quality of sound is exactly the same as it was on Mac OS, nothing that would bother me.
    ****, it took me 2 full days... finally...

  • Which Bluetooth Headset should I buy for my Iphone 4s ios6.

    I want to buy Bluetooth Headsets for my Iphone 4s with ios 6.
    I am confuse for I should go?
    Please guide me?
    I selected 2 Sony MW600/Plantronics Black Beat GO

    I have the lifeproof waterproof case and got JayBird Freedom 3 bluetooth headphones to go with it.  They last 8 hours, they're sweatproof, they come with more than 10 fittings, they get loud and sound great, the working distance is much better than they claim - I've been able to get 20 feet away for long periods of time with no problem but i've noticed if you put something aluminum between you and your phone it will cut out for a second.

  • Pairing e71 with Bluetooth Headset

    Just got an e71, but I can't pair it with my Sony Ericsson HBH-PV702 Bluetooth headset. I can pair with other mobiles, but it say that it can't find the device. Can anyone help me please.

    Hi,
    In that case I would recommend trying this method here to reset the BlackBerry smartphone to factory settings
    To do this we would need to back up the BlackBerry smartphone. Please open the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and connect your BlackBerry smartphone. Click on the Backup and Restore button and select Back Up. Please note the location where the backup is being saved as we will need to access it later to restore the BlackBerry smartphone.
    Once you have backed up follow this article.
