I'm looking to put together a list of known working and non-working Bluetooth devices with the G1. Eventually I'd like this to be the comprehensive list of supported Bluetooth devices.
If you use a Bluetooth device or have tried to use a Bluetooth device with no luck, please take a few seconds to leave a post letting me know the device and whether or not it works, and I'll add it to the list.
Known to work:
Nokia BH803
Plantronics Discovery 925 BT
Sony Ericsson HBH PV712 (Akoni)
Sony Ericsson HBH-PV708
Sony Ericsson HBH-PV703
Motorola T-305 hands-free car speaker
Ford/Microsoft Sync
I'm not sure about other headsets, but to get the Sony Ericsson ones working I had to factory reset them before pairing with any new phone. This might be something you have to do to all headsets before pairing with a different device, I don't know.
I understand at his point, we are only talking about Headsets ... but I assume that it will broaden into other other hardware as new BT drivers come to the phone ....
Actually, I'm looking for every kind of Bluetooth enabled device. This thread serves two purposes, one is to have a list of known working and non-working devices for all to use, and two, to find some devices that don't work yet but do work in Cupcake.
I'd like to know if ANY of the bluetooth devices work with voice dialing. I have a Plantronics Voyager 520 that pairs with the G1, but the only way that I can use the voice commands feature is by holding down the "send" button until a microphone appears on the screen - of little use to someone who's visually impaired. I've gotten conflicting info from T-Mobile tech support, including the possibility that a stereo bluetooth MAY activate the voice dialing, but not sure. HELP!
Motorola HT820 Stereo bluetooth headset works great with adp 1.5.
It seems to have some problems with the controls though - first they worked fine (rewind, play/pause) but recently they don't. I'll try to delete and pair again and see if it works then. Playng music thru A2DP is great, clear and as loud as it gets.
Motorola MotoRokr t505. Handsfree speaker-phone with stereo bluetooth and FM transmitter. Pairs and works fine.
This is another low end moto unit with an added cool feature, the fm transmitter will allow you to play tunes from your android on ANY car stereo, with zero hookup required. Just tell the unit to scan and it will tell you where to tune your car stereo. As usual, Moto's design is horrible. I sure hope the Android team doesn't include the guys that worked on this design. The unit has buttons on both the front, sides, and back. The scanning system for the FM modulator is kind of awkward. There is no way to select a particular station to tune the unit to, except through trial and error when scanning. It does not do a great job of picking the most suitable station. I had to repeat the scan process 6-8 times before the unit found a decent channel. Moto still has not learned their lesson from previous units of this type with regards to flashing lights being a distraction when situated on the visor above your eyes, but it is not as bright and a noticeable improvement over older units. The unit plays audio from phone calls over the car stereo and audio is not bad once you find a good station to tune to.
Even with these design flaws it is still a neat little unit, and the only one out right now (as far as I know) that can transmit to your car stereo. A neat little toy, if a little awkward to use. I paid $79 at BB, but they can be had for quite a bit less online (I had a store credit).
I just paired my G1 with my HT820 that's been collecting dust for some time. Everything works great except the fact that I can't place calls using voice dialing on the headset... i can receive calls and place calls via phone and hear through headset, media also sounds great... wish the voice dialing worked though... probably only works with motorola phones.
Just got the Plantronics ATTV521 and have not been able to get it to sync either. Golly, gee, are these BT devices like not made to sync with anything?
Like many if not most of you, I used a dumb phone for years, and I cannot believe that my first "smart" phone (mytouch G2) doesn't have the bluetooth dial feature I've used virtually since I started using bluetooth headsets.
If you hold down the call button with a G2 and a jawbone II, the only thing you receive is frustration ... not a call box ... because absolutely nothing happens.
So much for "hands free" and keeping my eyes on the road.
