jabra bt250

[huy33]

Anyone has any experience with the jabra bt250? I was wondering if it would work with our XDA IIs. I THINK it would but I am hesitant to cough up $$ just to see. The jabra website doesn't even have the XDA IIs up at all and they aren't returning my emails.

Hi,

I have a MDAIII and the Jabra BT250 and it works allright... I am not to pleased about the distance you can put your phone to (about 1-1.5" meter) for excellent sound.

I originally got a Jabra FS-258 on a trip to Singapore last October. It was the best brand on review everywhere and I was looking to play around with bluetooth on a SE T68i -- worked great. On an upgrade to the SE K700i seems I lost the single touch call functionality (must be the phone firmware). I'm not using it with my XDA and it works fine except for the initial noise as reported here -

The work around is easy. On initial pairing you'll hear the noise as the Jabra tries out to interface, press the Jabra's talk on/off button to disengage. Succeeding calls have been clear at least for me. I was using the old 1900 drivers.

Have now just upgraded to the official 3500 drivers but have not had time to re-test changes. Will post here sometime or if anyone asks again....

On another note, I'm also looking for a way to extend music up the Jabra in other forums. Anyone found the link or the correct way to upgrade the ROM, etc?

I recently charged up the headset with the 3500 patch and voila! no initial noise!

Will continue to do tests this week and mention if it returns or something else.

Now, on to having music piped through it .....

Hi,
You guys are having more luck than me. I have an M2000 from Orange UK. The Jabra 250 will pair with the phone, but when it tries to connect it just times out. Any idea why?

what's your jabra and rom build versions? have you upgraded the bluetooth stack (links are all over the place for the 3500).

I don't know any details about the Jabra, apart from that it is a freespeak 250 which I bought the other day from "The Link" in York (England).

I have installed:
OEM_WWE_124_008.sa.CAB
OEM_Patche_12100401.sa.CAB

I got the links from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=15078

Now the headset will connect, but with really poor sound quality. It's strange, I get a better signal when the phone is facing away from the headset, but even then it's only useable at a max range of about 2 feet.

Hi everyone! :)

I'm new here.

I just purchased iMate PDA2K EVDO (CDMA) and paired it with my Jabra 250 with no problems. Made a few calls, it worked perfectly.

On that first day, my battery died completly. When I charged the battery, Jabra couldn't connect with iMate.
I wiped it of from the list of paired devices, and tried unsuccesfully to pair it again, and again, and again.
Called support and did a SW reset, but still was unable to pair the Jabra afterwards.

Anyone knows what's going on and how to tackle the problem?
I've been told that I have the leatest SW version

ROM version: 2.03.00 WWE
ROM date: 12/15/04
Radio version: HA01_140
Protocol version: AA3.3.301
PRL version: 00205
ExtROM version: 2.03.111 WWE
Hardware version: 0041

p.s. I can't for some reason put my iMate details on my profile.

Cheers

Jabra 250 headset is fine, been using it for a few weeks now.
However when you lose pairing, try this:
Remove the pairng from the blue angel, switch the Jabra 250 off, switch the jabra back on and HOLD it for about 8 seconds untill the light is blue constantly. Now pair it again in the bluetoth manager and enter the pin-code 0000. Should be fine.

PS If you can, upgrade to the 1.10.00 Radio and bluetooth 3900. It killed the static crackle for me, before I was having earaches.

ROM 1.31.00WWE

Hi Guys,

I'm so frustrated already I wanna stomp my Jabra. I have loaded the new broadcomm 3900 BT driver and I still can't get my FS 258 to bond to my IIs. Can someone provide me an idiot's guide please? It just won't authenticate with my FS 258 no matter what settings I configure!

Thanks alot!

Bah!

Followed all this and my bt250 still crackles big style on an o2 xda iis.
