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??

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?
