Short Review of my Bluetooth Headset Jabra BT 250v - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Accessories
Two weeks ago, I got my new (and first) bt headset.
I bought it on ebay for 30 EUR.
It came without the original box or any instruction manuals,
but that's Ok since you can get the manual on jabra.com
I like its design,
its pretty light and I can wear it for a long time,
without the headset bothering me.
It's much bigger than other headsets,
but in exchange it comes with 300 hours of standby
(smaller headsets often only have like 70-100 hours)
I don't like the design of the charger,
because it's kinda bulky and you can only charge
the headset with the original charger.
(But again, you don't even need to take it with you on a weekend trip)
The headset comes with the normal functions of every bt headset.
Using the 3 buttons, you can:
-accept incoming calls
-dismiss incoming calls
-turn the volume up/down
-activate voice dialing (I never tested this function)
-call last used number
The last function activated ifselt 2-3 times while carrying
the headset in my jeans - thats pretty annoying.
A very decent blue led shows the headset status(off,on, on a call) and batterd status (normal, low, very low).
The best function of the headset is the vibrate function.
This is also why I bought it, because the Ameo lacks this (imho really important) function.
Inside your jeans, the vibrating headset fells like any mobile phone.
Wearing it behind your ear, it feels kinda strange the first times, but you get used to it.
But note: you cannot turn off this function!
The phone quality is okay,
not better than with other bt headsets I've tried.
Your partner sounds a bit distant, but you can understand him flawlessly.
The problem that you partner claims of not being able to understand you
isn't solved by this headset, though.
Please don't understand me wrong.
Using the headset he can understand you without problems most of the time.
But the problem some users have with their Ameo (bad speech quality)
isn't fixed by this headset.
The battery is pretty good,
I've only charged it twice now.
The only problem I still have, is that the battery of my Ameo
is empty within one day (without using the device at all),
when having bluetooth turned on all the time.
All in all, I would definitely buy it again,
because it's a must have accessory,
if you use the Ameo as your primary phone.

Hola,
aquí estoy de nuevo :$, es que acabo de darme cuenta (aunque no se si solo me pasa a mi) que cuando cargo la bateria nunca llega a encenderse el led en verde diciendo que ya está cargada, llevaba el movil dos horas enchufado a la red y apagado, y aun estaba el led en rojo...
sin embargo he encendido el telefono y ponia 100% de batería, alguna solución?
no quiero desintarlar esta rom por esa tontería...
gracias!

Mee parece quite hay una opción para eso en Ajustes, ajustes del teléfono, led de carga...
Nota para el GPS, aseguraos de probar el GPS con una rom stock, o un mod antes de flashear CM o SuperOSR, y así minimizar probabilidades de que no os funcione.
«It seems the only way to get GPS working is first get a fix using a stock rom.»
Muchos reportan que así les funciona bien. A mi me ha funcionado siempre. A ver si cuelgo un pantallazo ;-).

100dB European sound limitation?
Hello 1st af all, sorry for my engllish, I'm french... The problem: does anyone know how to remove the 100dB European sound limitation on a Diamond? I've read on this forum some registry keys to be modified, but that was for the Touch. Any idea? Thanks in advance
according to what i read in the manual there was a "special" note to french ppl that the sound device followed the rules, dunno if there is on all european or not.
I agree, maybe it's only a french limitation...
If you find the registry trick try it cause if it worked on the TOUCH there is a big chance that it may work on DIAMOND too. If you find the cab ant it works please post it here
the registry keys on the touch are not available on the Diamond... I've seen this on this Post Applying the .cab would create them and make them function?
This worked on my touch : http://dl.free.fr/j8eVjo2h6/Boost-Audio.cab to go back: http://dl.free.fr/i1pJUzT91/Boost-Audio_Defaut.cab Try it you'll see what happen. Otherwise try a WWE ROM instead of the french ROM.
Thanks for your cab but didn't change anything at all...
nobody knows?
I've found the "AudioPara4-HTC-France_V3.csv" file in the Windows folder, should be maybe modified, but I don't know in which way...

You have any idea how much 100db is? I have a x-mini speaker and reaches 89db, and it is about 2 times loader then the diamond.
It's a limitation only for the ear headset...and effectively onlu in France...
Maybe a solution, that I wrote on a French forum, it's the reason why I copy/paste it in French Avec un éditeur de registre, accéder à la clé: HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\AcousticFile Celle-ci renvoie à un fichier .csv intitulé "\windows\AudioPara4-HTC-France_V3.csv" Remplacez cette valeur par "\windows\AudioPara3.csv" Il semblerait que ce dernier fichier (qui est système et caché, donc non visible par l'explorateur Windows sauf à cocher les options qui vont bien) soit "international", alors que le premier mentionné soit, comme son nom l'indique, Franco-Français... Après un premier test, c'est vrai que le son est vraiment plus fort, à confirmer sur la durée si rien d'autre ne bugge... Click to expand... Click to collapse

Wow, why in gods name would you want to get to 100dB? 100dB is pretty much the limit between light hearing damage and acute hearing damage. Having to work with 80dB for several year already causes irreversible ear damage.

Having to work with 80dB for several year already causes irreversible ear damage. Click to expand... Click to collapse Sometimes it's nice to listen to something loud for a short time. I also find the volume when listening to FM through the provided headphones very quiet and have to put the volume to about 80% just to get decent sound. My Tytn 2 was capable of being much louder, so there must be a software limit that can be removed.
Problem is solved. But the problem was that the sound was VERY quiet even à 100% volume, and that was for me a huge case when I was in noisy environnements. I don't really like In-ears headphones either... I think you can't imagine this "max" sound level, as your phones are not limitated...no? (and at 42, I know what is dangerous for me or not, thanks)

I wrote it above...
Diamond is about 66 Db only both for ring & voice. Its really very far from even being loud. http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_touch_diamond_vs_samsung_i900_omnia-review-262p4.php
Low Volume headset
Hello, I just got a HTC S730 . Here is my first issue hehe. The volume when I put the headset isn't very high even when I push everything to the max. (volume in TCPMP, volume with the side button and even with that "audio booster" app). I'm thinking that the volume has been set to a limit on the phone. Is there a way I can push the volume higher so that even in the subway I can listen to my music ? Thanks in advance, Frem
Ok well I found the solution, if someone is interested here is what you need to do : wiloche said: found the solution for htc s730 and those who don't have the registry key acoustic....: copy both files AudioPara4_FR.csv and AudioPara3.csv to PC change the F25 line replacing 409 by 4000. Copy files to SD card Copy with total commander to windows directory and remplace existing... Worked for me ! j'ai trouvé la solution : copier AudioPara4_FR.csv et AudioPara3.csv sur le PC modifier la ligne F25 comme expliqué (remplacer 409 par 4000, j'ai mis 3000 parce que 4000 ca me nikait les oreilles...) recopier ces fichier sur une sd avec total commander copier les ficher dans le repertoir windows sur telephone remplacer existant : oui SOFT RESET et achetez vous un sonotone dans pas longtemps, restez raisonnables, n'en faites pas profiter tout le wagon !! Click to expand... Click to collapse cheers. Frem
Interesting, I wonder why some have that low volume, mine gets very loud very easily, even out washing my car I can keep it at 30 - 40% of max and drown out most things and enjoy the music. Glad you got it fixed though
This volume limitation only applies with the headphones. My problem is that when I took the subway, even with the volume at max I couldn't ear the music. This tweak unlocks that limit. The volume was fine without the headphones. The files I modified actually mentioned headset:"F25,CE_PLAYBACK_HEADSET". I'm sure you also have the problem, test it if you can put the volume at max an still be able to keep the headphone on, then it's limited. Now If I go over 60% I can't keep them on . Frem
Can someone tell me the position for the "490 value" counting from the left or right? Im trying to apply this tweak to X1 but I do not have 490 value. Thanks
Please don't answer the phone!
Hi, Soi bought the galaxy gear this week. And I have a great question: how can I disable the auto answer when there is a phone call? I answer on my phone, and the sound is on the watch (have to unclick "Bluetooth"on the phone after answering). What I want: I answer on the phone: sound on the phone. I answer on the watch : sound on the watch. Is it possible? Envoyé de mon LG-D802 en utilisant Tapatalk

My explanation wasn't Good. When à call comes in, it rings on watch and phone too. If I answer on the watch, I can press the left button and it transfer s to the phone. Ok for this.

My phone is a Galaxy S3 and I have Gear Manager installed, so maybe that's why their Gear is working like a standard headset. -= this post enhanced with bonus mobile typos =-
