Motorola s9 and Ipod function on Iphone

Kengano · 05-18-2009, 12:38 AM

I have a Motorola S9 bluetooth headset. It seems to work fine when using the 'phone functions of the Iphone, but not at all on other functions, particularly the Ipod function.

I hope I am just missing an easy setting switch. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Are you using Beta 3 firmware or an adaptor?

Neither. The software is as updated via Itunes and the headset is self contained.

You must be using firmware for the iPhone to work!

Is it 2.x or 3.x beta?

If it's 2.x then you'll need an adaptor to use with iPod stereo and use the controls. Otherwise you're stuck with mono and using it for the phone only.

Here's an example of an adaptor. The iPhone won't stream bluetooth stereo without on until 3.0 is released.

There are plenty of posts on pairing and using this with an adaptor in the bluetooth section of the forum, and it works great.

If you're using 3.x beta then you won't need an adaptor but Apple may not yet have fully implemented the A2DP into the firmware so the controls may not work as expected.

version 2.2.1.

I am not interested in spending that much for an adaptor. I'll wait for the firmware update.

Thanks for your help

I'm selling my icombi ap21 adapter. I have a black and white one.

Thanks for te reply, but I'm really not interested. I rarely use the Ipod function as is and it sounds like the "fix" may come with the next software update.

Anyone knows how the S9 works with the iPhone 3G with 3.0?
The price is pretty good. I want to be able to listen to music and take phone calls. Fast forwarding or pausing would be nice, but not totally necessary.

Hi,

I have the s9 working with firmware 3.0 on my iPhone 3G.

The volume control works, pause and play, and the answer.

The track forward and back does not seem to work (just beeps but nothing happens).

Also, when on the phone it is mono (only in one ear piece).

Hope this helps, let me know if you want any more info.

Cheers,

Doug.

Can anyone else review these? Need the dual functionality and these seem great.
