Motorola H700 Bluetooth Wireless Headset: Now Completely Won Over

I have both a H700 and a PALM 700W. Interestingly, there doesn't seem to be an option when you pair the two for the 'carkit'. I haven't consistently figured out how to get the H700 to answer the call if I have it "flipped" off.

When I open it, it doesn't answer the phone call. Instead, I have to hit the answer button on the headset -- and, there seems to be a delay in the process before it answers the call.

Or, maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I do have the same problem. Just tried to pair my Motorola again (after having deleted it first from the "trusted devices").

But i dont't get the option to choose between headset or carkit. I do have the latest treo 650 update running (v1.20).

Can some please help, because being able to answer calls with the flip would be great! Thanks.

Mikev - I also use the v1.20 software.

Please try to delete from trusted devices > reset your Treo > pair again > reset again and see if this works.

Cheers, A.

Andrew,

I've done what you suggested. But no choice for carkit or headset yet. I get the following when i perform the setup wizard: it finds my motorola headset (i have the HS850), then i have to enter a passkey and then the setup is done. So no choice for carket or headset. Where do you get this choice??

Mike

Mikev - sorry but you'll have to upgrade to the H700 for this to work as it will not function with your HS850...

Cheers, A.

Andrew,

I have not been able to get the PowerFlip to work at all with my Treo 700W. I've tried it on 3 separate units with no success. Any ideas?

I had a Treo Party a week ago and I had these in the party bag and a krusell case and some other Nick-knacks I was having a party because i was happy about my Treo collection 3 Treo 700w, 2 Treo 650's, and a Treo 700p. :) :0 =) Party!!!!!

Treofrog,

ops, I forgot to say how many attended from work

129 peoples and some dogs anyway :) :o =)

PARTY

Treofrog,

Hi there, I just got the H700 and am also not seeing the screen on my 650 to choose headset or carkit. Any ideas?

Hi,

received my Moto H700 yesterday. Tried it out in the car this morning. The volume is too low to understand anything while driving in the car (okay, at 90 mph, but this should work even under this conditions). Does anybody know how to boost the volume beyond the maximum setting on the headset?

It sounds like a wonderful headset. Can anyone tell me if it will allow me to listen to my audible audiobooks as well? I spend more time each day listening to books than on phone calls. I'd like to give up my wired headset but the Palm website implies a bluetooth headset is only for the phone features and audible is mute on the subject.

I did see a carkit option at some point on the setup with the H700 & a Treo 650, but my boss & I are having extreme problems getting it to work. Perhaps operator error, but it keeps disconnecting or not connecting, there is static, etc. ALso it seems like his phone locks up now.

Of course Motorola doesn't know how it works with a Sprint Treo & Sprint doesn't know how Motorola works or compatibility... Let the games begin.

I recently purchased the Motorola H700. I hate it. I mean it's totally cool to look at (I get to feel all Star Treky), and it is extremely comfortable and easy to use, BUT, the problem is that it barely works with my Treo 650. Unless it is within 6 inches of the phone, the sound coming from the headset is completely full of static. No one can hear what I am saying either. When I am holding the phone close enough to the headset for it to function (and then what's the point of having a wireless headset?), the volume is still too low to be heard over anything but total surrounding silence. So, I am extremely disappointed. I am open to any tips you other Treonauts have to offer though...

Lalny - I have also found that on occasion the Bluetooth connection between my headset and my Treo 'breaks'. I have managed to solve this by deleting my H700 from 'Trusted Devices' in Bluetooth setup and the pairing it again.

I hope this helps.

Cheers, A.

I couldn't get my H700 to work with my Treo 650 until I changed a setting. In the Bluetooth settings I went to options and I chose (Enable device name cache). After that it worked but I'm getting static so I might return it.

THANKS ANDREW! Your post on pairing the Treo650 with the H700 worked perfectly. I bought an H700, couldn't get the calls to pick up, traded for a new headset at the Sprint store, but no luck. Below worked perfectly ..... Delete the H700 from trusted devices > reset your Treo > pair again > reset again and magic. The headset/car kit selection has come up as a choice each time I paired. I'm running v 1.13a so I hope it works after I upgrade to v 1.2

i have the 700p w/the H700 headset.. trying to use the method as explained by Andy D, but doesn't seem to work.. what am i suppose to do after the last "reset again and magic"?? do i delete and add the device again now?? please assist, the ability to answer a call w/the flip of the boom mike is one of the great things (if it'll work) about this headset.. thanks!!

Has anyone gotten this to work with v1.2, and if so, how (talkin about the power flip). Please let me know.

I have had the same problem. As far as I can tell, the problem seems to be related to interference. I'm sitting in a conference hall right now and the headset won't connect. 50 yards away it was fine. At my home office I have a wireless router and it never connects there, but down the hallway it works fine. It is distressing that it seems so vulnerable to interference...does anyone know if other wireless headsets are more reliable and robust across environments?

has anyone tried to use this headset with the 680? does the power flip work if set up as a 'headset' and not 'carkei'

well I have been thru 3 of these little buggers and though I love them when they work they rarely work consistently. so I am going to try the jabra jx10 next. I have a 700w. Now my friend has a 650 and his works great with it. he can use the handsfree answer and everything.

Hello All,

I am hoping for some help. I recently bought the Motorola H700 for my Treo 650. I can not get it to pair with my Treo. When I called Motorola, they sent me to Palm who said that it was not compatible. Is this accurate and if not, how do I get it to pair?
Any help would be outstanding.

Thanks All

First, Andrew, thanks for a great site.

I bought a 700p (PCS) and received the H700 as a gift, and I love the H700 when it works correctly. However, maybe I'm not as savvy as I'd like to think I am. If I turn off Bluetooth on the Treo to extend battery life, when I turn it back on, even though the Treo recognizes the H700 and claims it's connected (Bluetooth icon on Treo changes to a headphone icon), when I make a call the headset doesn't receive or transmit audio. I have to do a soft reset in order to get that working again.

Additionally, the H700 doesn't consistently answer calls when I open the PowerFlip, or when I try to use its last number redial function. I haven't gotten the hold/mute function to work at all.

Am I doing something wrong? Has anyone else experienced these issues? Thanks in advance for any assistance.

I'm in the same boat with the pairing of the 650 to the H700. I'm on Sprint. Installed the latest update today. 1.13a. It sees the H700 but cannot accept it to the seccure devices? Are there security settings some where?

I bought an H700 to use with my 700P Treo. The H700 would not pair at all with my Treo. The Spring store tech sent back my Treo and ordered a new one for me. The new one paired for a while, but now the H700 will not pair with my Treo at all. Is there something I can do, short of taking my Treo back again to the Sprint store? Is there an inherent problem with these two devices pairing with each other?

I have a Motorola H700 and Treo 650 - Alltel but the sound quality/volume sucks on the other end, I called a few people and none of them could hear me; some not all, others very softly.

Another issue I have is answering calls with the "Flip"; it inconsistently answers if I open it while it is ringing, but it never transfers the call after I answer the phone and want to transfer the call to the headset.

To respond to some of the other peoples issues: Did you have the headset closed and hold the button until it lit up purple before pairing it?

Also I know with the 650 that hold/mute does not work regardless of the headset, I am not sure if that applies to the 700, look in your manual...

This headset simply works better than any other bluetooth headset that I have owned. It connects with your phone when the phone rings every time! I have owned the Plantronics 650 [disconnects from phone when not on a call], and several other motorolla sets, but this one really works well. Good sound clarity on both ends. Some complain about a muffled sound on the other end as a result of the mike resting on your face. This results when the earpiece is not properly seated on your ear. Also, this could also be the result of the variety of shapes that we all come in. But one thing is for sure, if you want to buy an earpiece that just performs the way you would expect, EVERY TIME, buy this earpiece.

i just bought the h700 and i think its fine... i really dont have anything to compare it to. i wanted to say for some reason now its asking for a passkey before it pairs up but i dnt know what is. can anyone help me out. ive tried reseting my phone but im not trying to do the hard reset that cleans out my whole phone. is there anything i can do??

I have my H700 and my bluetooth phone and when i open the boom the bluetooth opens and waits for a PIN number and i have no idea how to find that help?

I got the same TREO 650 and the H700 Moto headset and it to ask for passkey not even on the box or reciept anyone got both to work correctly ? let me know

I had no trouble pairing VZW 700W but can't get it to operate with the power flip or consistently auto-pair. Any updates on these issues? Thanks.

try passkey 0000

I cant get my motorola h700 to work on my samsumg sph-500 how can i get it to work

I recently purchased an H700 for use on my Palm Treo 700p. It works fine for making and receiving calls. But, one big problem; no one can hear me. They all say I sound very faint even though I'm really yelling into the headset. Don't know of any resolution to the problem and can't seem to locate the issue on any 'net sites. May have to return it to the dealer, which is sad 'cause otherwise I really like it. Fits very well to my ear; can hardly feel it's there!

lost instructions on how to pair my motorola h700 with my treo 700. if you know how, or know where to go online any info would be vey much appreciated

thanks,
craig

I bought the H700 for my 755p, and after searching the Net to figure out how to force it into pairing mode, it initially worked just fine (to pair, hold down the multi-function button until the light comes on purple; flip the boom out while holding the button down and the purple light should stay on). I paired the headset with the phone and the Powerflip feature worked.

HOWEVER, Palm then replaced my 755p (battery life had been terrible, about 12 hours standby). The Powerflip feature does not work with the new 755p. Basically, after flipping out the boom, I still have to push the Multifunction button to answer the call; likewise, closing the flip does not end the call.

Here's the apparently critical difference. Experimenting with the two units, I found that, with the 755p power off, no call in progress, my old 755p will wake when I flip the boom out and light up, but the new one will not.

I contacted Palm tech support, and the tech told me that the H700 is not supported by the 755p, and some 755p's will work with it, and some won't. What headsets are supported, I asked. The Palm Treo headset, the tech said.

Could this be a mod they made to incrase battery life? Any thoughts on this, Andrew or anyone?

Thanks,
Mark

My 755p will not pairwith my H700... It kick back a bluetooth secuity error saying "unable to add Motorola H700 to your trusted device list." But it never asks for a passkey!

If you are still having trouble PAIRING your Treo 650 AND the Motorola H700 bluetooth Headset, try the following method:

Prior to attending this step, MAKE SURE you have DELETED any other bluetooth devices from your Treo 650 phone.

To pair the Motorola, turn off the bluetooth headset first, then hold down the Call button until the LED ring turns purple (on the H700 bluetooth device), quickly open the boom (flip the bluetooth open) so that the LED stays solid purple, the headset is now in pairing mode. (This is important to understand, as your bluetooth device is now ready to be paired).

Use your mobile phone to discover and pair with the headset using “0000” as the default pass code. You should now be able to successfully PAIR the two devices (the Treo 650 and the Motorola H700 bluetooth device).

The connection between the phone and the headset should now be solid.

Red this CAREFULLY, before posting anymore questions. The instructions above ONLY worked with Treo 650 device and the H700 Bluetooth headset.

Hope this helps!

I was given a Motorola H700 to use with my Treo 680 (AT&T). The pairing process appears to work, with the H700 showing as a trusted device, but it just doesn't work. I can't make or receive calls using the headset. The Treo works well with my Handsfree Link to my car, but doesn't seem to work at all with the headset. It is on Palm's compatibility list.

Has anyone had success using a Treo 680 with an H700? If so, how?

Have Treo 755 and Motorola H700. Forgot my pass key to pair devices. Tried 0000, 00000, 000000, 1234, nothing works. What now?

I have a Trep 700p and Moto H700, had to delete and repair the device again: held button till purple, flipped out mic and let it fond the device, found and used pw 0000 (number zero). I notice this tme the Bluetooth "B" in the top display of my Treo changed to a blue headset...and now working?????

What is the trick for getting the voice dial function on the H700 to work with the Treo 650? Could it be in conflict with the VoiceSignal loaded on the Treo?

Hello...I carry to cellphones, a Treo 700P for personal and a Motorola LG 5200 for business. I have a Plantronics Discovery 650 multi point bluetooth headset. I constantly have to pair the Treo 700P. It keeps breaking the pairing. I tried to delete the device and add it again. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
Frank

I think you have to update your firmware to 1.05 (verizon). I installed this recently on the 650 and noticed the new option for the car kit. I hope this helps.

IS THE H700 COMPATIBLE WITH THE MOTO-Q? MY FRIEND GAVE ME ONE BUT AFTER MANY FAILED ATTEMPTS TO PAIR DEVICE I GAVE UP. PLEASE HELP. THANX MUCH.

My experience is the same as Lalny above (13) I can get the headset to pair ok but the sound quality is terrible. A huge amount of static and I can hardly be heard by the person on the other end of the call.

I not long ago purchased a H700 for me and my wife's phone the sprint palm, and we are having problems where the we have alot of static, plus when you talk the volume is low and the person on the other end is reporting that I am breaking up, is there anyway we can fix this problem?
