Bluetooth Compatability My unit is on the way, but I was concerned about bluetooth compatability with my LG Chocolate. When I played around with the unit in Circuit City, it paired fine (once the LG phone is on "visible" mode), and I could make calls through my handset, but it wouldn't dial from the Mio through the touchscreen. It simply says "dialing xxx-xxx" and nothing happens. Anybody else have problems?

A. Vargas- yeah, when I use the "soft" off and turn it back on, it reconnects with my chocolate phone and allows calls to be made through the Mio. Weird. Problem solved, albeit through some bug. Hopefully, it will be addressed in firmware updates. I agree you on the 2.5mm jack- why in the world did they choose 2.5 instead of 3.5? And yes, the volume is a little too low for my taste. I added an aux-in to my factory headunit, and whenever I switch from the GPS to my regular stereo, the volume difference always bugs me. Otherwise, a good and useful toy. If you want to charge the Mio through the mount, you can purchase the optional power cradle. A.

L.L.LE - I never enjoyed the sound via the tape adapters (esp for music), but I'm glad that setup is working out for you. I had a Maxell tape adapter, but it killed the midrange and high treble. I had to choose "treble boost" on my iPod EQ all the time.

Just wondering. Is there an easier way to add contacts to your phonebook? I mean I know that the unit will sync up with outlook but I don't use outlook it at home. And for some bluetooth enabled phones, you can push the data to your device. But since I'm with Verizon, I don't have the ability to do a data push through bluetooth (sorry bastards). I had to tediously type in every contact by hand and that wasn't fun.Any thoughts???

I have a Samsung 930, it's paired up nicely and worked as it should, dialing and receiving. It's so nice when you go to your address book and dial the name you chose, just like what they did in the commercial for the Iphone.I bought a 2.5mm/3.5mm adapter for $2.99, hook it up with the tape player in my car and listen to music while navigating.

The original problem with Android is that it did not support BLE for bluetooth 4.0. With the release of Android 4.3 BLE support has been added. Since the Nexus 5 has Android 4.4, the BLE support for bluetooth is there. The next question is then have the individual apps like Map my Ride and Endomondo been updated to take advantage of this new feature. If they have been then this will pair nicely. I do know that there is a least one app for Android that has this functionality, I just can't remember the name.

Depends on which version of bluetooth it is. 3.0 version is all I could get to work! Selecting individual albums no, artists to a point just make a playlist genre same just make a play list other wise no!! If the Zen can recognize car stereo blue tooth you got smooth sailing. Otherwise your blue tooth is screwed!!! Works well if it can recognize your blue tooth item be it stereo, car stereo or head set. Most of my 3.0 headsets were unrecognizable. Very hit or miss but sound is great but range is also limited! Look some where else, there are better ones out there, but they do cost quite a bit more. Good luck!!!! Controls to put the zen into pairing mode suck! Depends on which version of bluetooth it is. 3.0 version is all I could get to work!

Hi, I too got the same question since this is an important info missing in the technical details and top reviews.. However when I checked all the reviews here , I saw two customers wrote of having been able to connect headset with this fone. But the most helpful to me was this : "I use a headset for handsfree work but the problem was that could not connect both cell and headset simultaneously. Thus, could only answer cell calls with handset or landline calls with headset. Get most of my calls to cell number so it was a big inconvenience to lose the headset/handsfree."

Not sure why it didn't work, on Bluetooth setting and in discoverable mode for my phone. Then with the speaker on I pressed the Bluetooth button and it paired easily. I have my iPhone and iPad connected with it. I have others connected to it at work, iPhone and android based phones. Try holding the Bluetooth button down a few seconds while your device is in discoverable mode. Other than that I don't have any other suggestions. Maybe another buyer could help?

You need to have your bluetooth set to 'on' on your phone. The 1st time, may take 1 or 2 tries. After that, no problem.Then you can connect the radio. I've found the BT to work very well. I enjoy the Pandora & the phone works as should. Good luck & enjoy.

My android experience, callers could not hear me! It may vary slightly from android makes, but you'll be gambling; which is why the "android compatible" phones you see in stores are simply a single-button headset!

The greatest mystery from AT&T.; I fought with this long and hard even preparing to send everything back. And as I discovered over a good nights sleep it has nothing to do with the TL 7800 Dect. and all to do with the phone you bought. Read the directions from the Bluetooth phone base and follow the instructions. The 7800 will pair with the phone base. The guys who wrote the TL 7800 instructions do not understand phones and saved time by printing the same instructions for multiple cordless handsets.

I didn't use it with my computer but It wouldn't connect with my phone so I gave it to a friend. Some thing happened to her. We both ended up buying the LG TONE which is awesome. The tone will correct with any Bluetooth

They just released a new version of the Android app that will work with the RFLKT. Your phone still has to have Bluetooth 4.0 such as the Nexus 4, Nexus 5 etc. The setup with android feels very much beta to me. It took a while and no small amount of fiddling with the apps to get the latest firmware. However once I got everything to work, it has been smooth sailing. Rock solid on rides. No connectivity issues as mentioned in some of the reviews. I put my phone in my back pocket and never give it a second thought.

I cannot answer that with absolute certainty, but I can tell you what I know of it. I use mine at work, and it is hooked up to a Panasonic multi-line digital phone. The Plantronic is plugged into where the handset goes. The handset then plugs into the Bluetooth adapter. Before answering or receiving a call, you push the blue button on the base and then lift the handset. The phone then is streamed to the hearing aids via the Voyager. I hope this answers your question. If the phone is a cordless, I dont think ir will work. But the set up and pairing took all of 15-20 minutes and that includes testing and verfiying that it all worked. I cannot answer that with absolute certainty, but I can tell you what I know of it.

No, you can't pair a bluetooth device with this phone (phone or headset). I was tricked into thinking this was a feature on this model because it is listed on the description page for this phone. However, if you scroll to the right of the features list on this page you'll find check marks for which features this model has. The check marks are so far to the right that they didn't display in my browser since I didn't have it maximized and didn't scroll to the right. It is still a good phone for the price.

Hello dnapy!, No it is not compatible with the Bluetooth feature. ~ Jeannette

When the new android update comes out (2.2) the droid will support voice dialing over bluetooth. I have updated my droid to the new version and I can say that it works. The reason it didn't work before is that the android system didn't fully support the voice dialing bluetooth modules. It's now standard for 2.2+.

Greg, I would google which phones are compatible as I don't want to give you incorrect information or call plantronics and ask for their recommendation. Thank you

First off, is you cell phone Blue Tooth compatable? If so, that setting must be on before you try to start up the headset. Then, make sure the headset is charged up. When this is done, push and hold the button on the side of the earpiece untill you hear the tones, and when they stop, let go of the button, and the phone and headset should be connected. I too had a little trouble figuring this out when I first tried to connect. If you still can't connect, I'd talk with the dealer for your phone next. If that doesn't work, you should contact Amazon by going to their "Let Us Help You" section and click on "Help". First off, is you cell phone Blue Tooth compatable?

I wouldn't swear to it, but I am pretty sure Bluetooth is a standardized technology. I think any bluetooth headset should work with any bluetooth phone. I have used three different brands of headsets on three different phones without ever having to do anything special. Have a nice day.
