Which bluetooth headset works well with iPhone

I was very happy with a Plantronics bluetooth headset for a long time, until it broke. Now I have tested three Plantonics bluetooth sets with my iPhone4 and all had connection problems, which I never had with my Android phone. People keep saying "I can't hear you" unless I put the iPhone in front of my mouth. I don't know why. So, which bluetooth headset have worked well for you with your iPhone?

there are 2 types of bluetooth headsets
the traditional headset which is typical mono and connect to 1 ear and only do phone calls
then there is the a2dp which is typical stereo and play all audio also games, video and music
a2dp is typical bigger being stereo and all and often cost more

This sounds like a price match question. Without knowing all the details, it sounds like a yes for the Westinghouse, but I would encourage you to read the price match policy link here:

If all you care about is 1080p definition and an HDMI input at a $300 price point then this tv should suit your needs. (As a bonus it has 120Hz refresh for smoother action scenes.)http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Westinghouse+-+40%26%2334%3B+Class+-+LCD+-+1080p+-+120Hz+-+HDTV/5772998....

Which Wireless Router works well with Satellite A200-401

Just about to buy a Satellite A200-401 notebook can anyone suggest a good affordable wireless router that works well with this?
steve

Hm, thats a strange question because I doesnt depends on the machine, more on the installed wireless card. But usually a Netgear router is always a good choice...they are reliable, dont need much power and you can extend your network range with these special Nergear "Range externders".
I have a Netgear WGR614 and it works like a charm, it has everything you need.
Heres a link:

Which bluetooth headset can operate the iphone camera shutter?

Looking for a bluetooth headset that can remotely operate the native camera app shutter.
Please advise which models support this feature.

I have the same problem, it was much easier to hold the phone steady and then release to take the photo. Now I have to tap and the phone shakes, or if I hold my finger down a millisecond too long it goes into burst mode and I get multiple photos where my phone was shaking! I reiterate the question - does anyone know if we can change the way the shutter button works in ios 7?

Logitech V470 Bluetooth Mouse works well with Arch

I know we're not supposed to do advertising on this forum, but in this case, I feel I'm just reporting about a hardware compatibility issue.
After my Microsoft USB optical cordless mouse died, with some hesitation I ordered a Logitech V470 Cordless Laser Mouse. It's a bluetooth mouse designed especially for notebooks but, since it's a mid-size rather than really compact mouse, it's big enough to be comfortable for everyday use with a desktop, I think.
I'm happy to report that, by following the steps in this wiki page about installing a bluetooth mouse on Arch, I got it working in no time. Mark another small victory for Linux, and for Arch and its documentation, too.
FWIW, my laptop is a Thinkpad T61p.
I remember a time when you could almost count on spending a lot of time setting up most any newish hardware item under Linux. I used to put up with it since I invariably would learn a lot about my system and about Linux, too. I think we're getting past that now, and that the Linux userbase has reached the critical mass necessary so that the drivers, setup scripts and documentation generally follow pretty quickly a new hardware release.

Thanks for the help, zyghom. I've finally got things working. My experience went like this:
(1) After updating to bluez-4.30, I created the special "trust" file in /var/lib/bluetooth/XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX/, as explained in this post. However, contrary to what that post says, in my case the trust file doesn't have to be copied over to its location with each boot. It seems to be persisting from boot to boot.
(2) Since I'm currently using KDE4, I next installed and tried kdebluetooth4 to register my bluetooth mouse, but I couldn't get it to work.
(3) Next I tried blueman, which didn't work properly, either.
(4) I thought I was going to have to install the gnome bluetooth tool(s), but finally I got kdebluetooth4 to work. To get kdebluetooth4 to work properly, I had to:
(4.a) rebuild from ABS obex-data-server (at least I think that's what made the difference).
(4.b) Then I had to fiddle with kdebluetooth4 a bit, setting my mouse as a trusted device, then rebooting and redoing the settings until the settings "stuck" (I don't know why they didn't stick the first time).
(4.c) Then I had to write a bash script for kdebluetooth4 to be autostarted, which I made executable and put into ~/.kde4/Autostart
Maybe I did more than was necessary, but it is working now, and with bluez-4.30. Thanks again, zyghom, for leading me in the right direction, and for your patience with an old-timer. Now, please excuse me, I've got to go find my reading glasses and hearing aid.

Which audio interfaces work well with CoreAudio?

A number of older USB and Firewire audio interfaces do not appear to work properly with Tiger's CoreAudio, which promises major advantages in very low latency recording. Without a proper CoreAudio driver, audio can be reduced to mostly noise with just a trace of audio remaining.
This information is difficult to find until you actually try to use a device and find that it doesn't work. Several devices I tried out last summer right after Tiger was released did not work, though they promised fixes, but I don't want to have to pay more restocking fees for devices that don't work
Could someone post a list (or a link to a list) of devices that DO work? Thanks!

Hi there,
don't buy M-Audio interfaces! I had USB and FireWire audio interfaces from them, their hardware is ok, but the software (drivers) suck! I had extremely bad latency problems. I even started a thread about it a while ago. Now I use an EDIROL FA-66 FireWire audio interface. It's a little more expensive than the M-Audio, but it works and it does NOT need any drivers because it's fully Core Audio compatible! Works good for me. I've heard similar good opinions on the Presonus FW interfaces. Hope that helps!

Which Bluetooth headsets work with texting on iPhone 4S?

I have a Motorola Bluetooth earpiece that I bought with my Droid x and it worked with reading texts and answering them, but I have not found any app that allows me to do the same thing on the iPhone. Is it just the headset or is there no app that does that?

if you have siri she should be able to access messages and read them just activate her and say read/send text only bt headset i know of that accesses siri is motorola elite sliver

Extreme w/static IP doesn't work well with iPhone

At our school I've installed a new Extreme Base Station, but we're having trouble with a couple of iPhones not automatically picking it up. Sometimes using the web browser or email makes it connect, but not always.
Our school district requires that the Base Station have a static IP address, and it's just bridging our wired network, not doing DHCP. With my older Airport at home the iPhone picks it up even before I can get out of my car in the garage - but it's not a static IP and there is another router on my network doing DHCP.
Does the static IP and no DHCP make the Airport connection not as automatic at school? I got this because one of our principals and I both have iPhones - and he's not real happy so far with it.
Any ideas welcome.

If your base station has a static IP address, what about any computers that are connecting to it? If there are any such, what are they using for IP addresses?
Everything in the entire school district (80+ schools, 50,000+ students) has a static IP.
Do you know why your school district has that policy? Would they be willing to allocate a set of IP addresses to your base station, so that you could configure it to "Distribute a range of IP addresses"?
I think they perceive the static IP approach to be more secure. No, we're not allowed to do any DHCP anywhere in the entire district - I've asked
It seems to be working fairly well now, it's just odd. If I stand near the base station with my iPhone:
-sometimes it automatically switches to the wifi icon
-sometimes it doesn't, but then does when you use Mail or Safari
-sometimes it uses 3G instead of wifi at first
It's like it takes 30-90 seconds for the iPhone to really recognize and use the wifi. I have never seen that before and the only difference is that this base station and the iPhone are static IPs and no DHCP.

Any iPod Accessories that work well with iPhone?

I have been wondering this because there are hardly any accessories for the iPhone out. I really want a car speaker transmitter but of course, they have none available yet. Thanks for any posts!

I bought the Shure Music Phone Adapter from the Apple store and love it! It's a great way to accomplish several things:
1. Adapter to make all headphones work.
2. Converts all headphones into amazing hands-free telephone device.
3. Provides wired remote control of play, pause, next song, and answer call.
Here's my review:

When bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone?

when bluetooth headset is connected to iphone,I can't hear iphone ringing aloud when I have a call or a text. Do i really have to wear the bluetooth headset all the time in my ear to know when I have a call or a message? Why it doesnt ring through iphone but it rings through the bluetooth headsets?
In other phones, you can hear the phone ringing and if it was connected to bluetooth, you could pick up the call from the bluetooth headset.
Here with iphone, if its connected to bluetooth headset, it only rings through the headset, which means that if you dont have the headset in the ear all the time, you cannot know that you have an incoming call or message.
Any ideas - solutions - comments please?

I'm having the same problem. I had a plantronics 975 (which I lost, sadly). When connected, the ringer would always be routed through the bluetooth and the iPhone's external speaker. When in silent mode, the iPhone would only vibrate, but I could still hear the ringer in the bluetooth.
I just bought a new Plantronics Voyager+. Now when it's connected, all sounds are routed to the earpiece - including the taps, etc. The iPhone's speaker doesn't ring at all, unless the bluetooth is disconnected or powered off. I'd really like to be able to hear both, like I was before. This is an iPhone 3G running iOS 4 (latest version, not sure what it is exactly). Haven't updated software/firmware in between bluetooths, just changed the earpiece.

I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. Is it Lion?

I have set up a Netgear dual band modem which works well with the iPhone and an older MacBook, but with this brand new MacBook it asks for a password every time I reopen the computer and open safari. As you can imagine this is very annoying. It says I am not connected to the internet and offers me a choice of nearby networks including mine and then asks for a password when I select it. Why does it do this with our new MacBooks (also with my son's brand new one) and not with the iPhone, iPad and older MacBook? They happily automatically connect to our network after entering the password just the once.

Sig, I appreciate you trying to be helpful. I have no idea what issues you were having or what issue exactly pgrounds has been having. Your assumption that everyone's set up is the same as yours is false however. There are many many documented WiFi issues that are a result of Lion installs. Many have been solved by 10.7.1 and 10.7.2. Others have been solved by a large variety of work arounds. Others have not had their issues solved yet.
I am one of those. I have an IT background, and I spent the better of five hours digging up workarounds and attempting all of them. For the benefit oh anyone who is having similar issues, I have posted links to all of those workarounds here. None of them worked in my case, but hopefully they will help pgrounds or others.
So, once again, if you have a new idea, I'd love to here it. But if it has already been posted in one of these links, it's not helpful, let it go.

Can i use two bluetooth devices simultaneously with iphone 4s? Specifically,a bluetooth headset, as well as a new low energy bluetooth heart monitor?

Can I use two bluetooth devices simultaneously with iphone 4s? Specifically a bluetooth headset as well as a new low-energy smart bluetooth heart monitor?

I don't believe so.

HT1602 Hi, does my iPhone need to be on the left side of my body to work well with the Nike+ sensor in my shoes? I used it on my right side and the calibration was so off point.

Hi, does my iPhone need to be on the left side of my body to work well with the Nike+ sensor in my shoes? I used it on my right side and the calibration was so off point. I recently got a Bluetooth headphone and the antennae is on the right ear piece. For seamless connection am required to have my iPhone on my right arm if am using the headphone outdoors.

I was wondering this too. Did you ever get an answer? I just bought a non-nike pair of sneakers and have a pod pouch now on my laces. I have it tight, at the lower part of the laces so its flat. When its on the left side my time is very similar to what it was when I used the nike shoes. When it is on the right side, my time is about 35sec/mile higher. I wonder which is more accurate and if you are supposed to have them on the same side. If so, then that is as accurate as with my nike shoes. Hope we get an answer soon. Im about to return everything its so frustrating.

Bluetooth audio will not connec with OS 4 upgrade, but work well with OS 3

The bluetooth with the OS 4 upgrade will not connect with my car stereo, but OS 3 worked well. The iPhone will connect with the bluetooth handsfree connect with the stereo, but not the audio. In short, I am no longer able to listen to the iPhone's iPod music, or use the navigation app through my stereo. Frustrating... I have done a soft and hard reset, as well as talk with 'Crutchfield' regarding the problem. The problem presents to be an issues with OS 4. What solutions are available?

I'm having this problem also. Bluetooth audio works fine with my motorola headset or phone "hands free" connection to my ford exployer but does not work with ipod function nor navigation app. Since this is my first iPhone, I don't know if everything worked with OS3.
