S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

Has anyone gotten this to work properly? I have a range of about 1 foot, anything more will be choppy. I have to hold the phone up to the headset in order for it to work which pretty much defeats the purpose of having a wireless headset.

What settings should I use?

mine works 100% i can even go upstairs to the room above my diamond and get clear crisp audio.

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

Did you just connect with default settings?

I'm using DHarvey's ROM (love Juicy's but I like the black & white calendar with DHarvey's ROM) and installed the Audiopara cab. I wonder if that's the problem.

I've been having all sorts of bluetooth issues. My S9 don't work unless they are in direct line of sight. If my phone is in my side pocket it'll get choppy. If it's in my back pocket it'll work fine. And my BT randomly turns itself on and off.

im using juicy 2.6, use my s9 for mp3 mostly, but some calls and i get up walk around have my phone about 10 feet away, go to the bathroom... all that and i havnt really had any issues besides the odd occasion of static for a second or 2

Hey Jugg, could you tell me what bit pool and sample rate you have for your bluetooth settings?

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

Be aware, there are many counterfeit S9s (along with other Motorola headsets) on the market today. If you paid a LOT under $129, chances you have a fake set. I have a "fake" HT820 myself.

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

I had the same problem with this headset on my Mogul. But it works perfect on my Touch.

hopefully i won't have the same problem with the Touch Pro.

i never figured out how to fix it on the Mogul though, that's one of the reasons I switched it out for the Touch.

Hopefully you can find a solution to this though. I mean it must be something specific to yours obviously though, since someone else has it working just fine.

i paid under $70 for my set of S9's. they broke when I wore them running so I shipped them back under warranty and got a new pair straight from Motorola with no problems they didn't say anything about my old ones not being real. So it's not like you HAVE to pay full price for them.

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

How do you know if it's a "fake" headset? Bought mine locally and came with Original packaging (box, manual, extra ear buds, charger, etc).

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

i changed everything to best quality

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

It must be the DHarvey Rom. I tried uninstalling the audiopara tweak but that didn't do anything. I may have to switch over to juicy again. My S9 headphones are a little more important to me than the cool calendar tab.

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

mine work VERY WELL!!!.. bought mine for $38 on fleebay and it even came in bulk packaging.. they sound better than my $150 Etymotic 6i Isolator Earphones!!!! lol

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

anyone have a 3 second lag when playing video? its driving me crazy

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

Well it wasn't DHarvey's ROM. I'm on Juicy 2.6 now and have the same problem. I guess I'm returning this phone. My Touch Pro should be here tomorrow.

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

When I said LOT, I meant in the $25-30 range. $70 for a set of S9's is more than feasible, just looking out guys.

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

Anyone happen to have the Motorola S9-HD? I am interested to know how they sound and work either on the Diamond or the TP.

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

I have the line of sight issue, could it be that my head is too thick and blocks bluetooth?
I have juicy rom , s9 functions perfect unless it is against the front of my body.
I already returned a set and got new s9 so I am sure it is not the headphones.

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

I have the S9 by motorola, sync'd perfectly with my Sprint Diamond, and I'm using the original stock rom....

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

Queen Ruby, do you get totally uninterupted music play with the phone in your front pocket while walking?
thanks

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

My Touch self destructed on me so now I have a Diamond for past month I am having same problem with S9 headphones on the Diamond. They worked perfectly with the Touch but are almost useless on the Diamond. Has anyone found a solution to this or could it be I have a bad handset.

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

my guess is bad phone, likely the antenna. I know this is a diamond thread, but if they're like the pro, the antenna's are just foil stickers under the battery cover. :(

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

Been trying to get mines to work since I got my Diamond almost 3 months ago. Same thing here, was flawless on my Touch. I gave up........

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

Well, I ordered an advance replacement handset. I'll post back if the new one works better.

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

New phone arrived and bluetooth is better but still no where near as good as Touch was. Almost useable now but seems to be finicky about where it is - lots of skipping if phone is in my pocket - works better if I put in case it came with on my belt. Just annoying since this (S9) worked so well with the Touch. I also tried with a Jabra BT1040 and same drop out problem. I'm surprised so few people seem to have this problem, maybe very few use bluetooth to listen to music.

FWIW, I could not restore to new phone with Sprite Backup, which I have used for years. Tried SPB Backup and it worked perfectly first time. I have so much stuff on phone it takes hours to restore from scratch, one reason I have not tried different ROM's. Maybe I will give that a shot now hoping that SPB Backup will restore most of my stuff.

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

yeah i have pretty much the same problem except as long as i'm in doors the s9 with the diamond work fine the second i go out side though it cuts in and out so bad that it's pretty much useless. good news for me though i only bought the s9 to use while either lifting weights or running on a treadmill, both in my spare room :)

I kinda always figured though that it had something to do with my giant head blocking the signal outside
:violent2:

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

I have the HD's, overall they are great for around the house, but horrible once you get outdoors (cuts out constantly on my IPOD/Diamond).

sound quality is pretty good though

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

Wow - never saw this thread... I boutgh my S9's from TigerDirect.com for under $50 and they work great on my Mogul, Diamond, Touch Pro, and Pre. I can even set my phone on my desk and walk in and out of my shop with music playing or in a phone call. The only time they cut out is if I am like 30 ft away. Then I take 2 steps back and just fine. It might be the individual build of the headphones I guess.

Re: S9 Bluetooth Headphones and Diamond
 

If I have the Diamond sitting on a desk indoors the S9 works well and has reasonably good range. As soon as you go outdoors and move around (headset and phone both moving) the reception is lousy. If you stand still reception is good and if handset is still but you move around it's OK. Maybe the transmit signal is just weak - indoors works better because any hard surfaces will reflect the signal in multiple directions. In any case it's quite annoying as I mainly use headset outside and never had any problems with the Touch.

I was really hoping to use this set to run with and it is unusable for that, very big disappointment for me
