Sony Ericsson MW-600

[hoomi_x10]

Hey Guyz, MW-600 is a radio device itself! you can use it without mobile and use it as Radio. all you need to do is to turn it on, hold play button , choose radio icon and enjoy! even WITHOUT phone!!
so it can be used as a radio device with X10

i too am getting one with my X10 upgrade from rogers in Canada but it will be a few weeks till i see it.

I am in the UK and had to buy my MW600, as it's not bundled in with the phone (not on T-Mobile UK, Orange UK or Virgin Mobile that is, not sure about anywhere else ?).
Anyways the MW600 pairs up great but not all the features work. i.e. Track details are not shown, Time is not shown.

I have contacted Sony Ericsson Support about it and got this emailed reply:


Dear Charles,

Thank you for contacting the Sony Ericsson support centre regarding your Sony Ericsson MW600.

We can advise that the MW600 device does show track listings on a Java based handset. But that service is not compatible with Android software hence it will not work when connected to the X10 handset.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Kind Regards,


Sony Ericsson UK Customer Services



I tested the MW600 with my old G1 and it did the same and also tested with my sisters LG Pathfinder (not Android) and dd get the time displayed once sync'd but still not getting track details

£40 wasted imho!!

Hey does anyone know how to seek within tracks, I read the manual and stuff and pressed and hold the seek buttons. All i got was an arrow flashing and thats it.
Really starting to piss me off

Hi Guys,

I bought MW-600 Bluetooth Headset last week. The sound quality is fantastic and easy to use as well. I have some questions releated to this product and hope some of you guys are able to provide me some tips.

1. How to display time in this headset?
2. I get caller number displayed but no name eventhough the phone displays the name. My previous headset BH-903 (Nokia) together with Nokia N79 was able to do that. How do I get this device to do the same?
3. I do we seek tracks?
4. How do display what song is being played in the device's display?

Thanks everyone for providing the tips.

My MW-600 arrived on Friday, i have to say i am pretty impressed the stereo bluetooth is great. good reception on the FM radio too

[black_tiger2610]

Yep, it controls Mediascape fine. The MW600 is a really nice piece of kit. SE should have included it in every Xperia X10...

Mine only came as a pre-order of the X10 from Rogers. It was exclusive to the online store but i managed to get one at a store, it'll take a while before i receive it in the mail though.

I'vev read a few reviews about it and they say it's an audiophile quality, anyone can confirm that?

I really don't like the one that came with the cellphone...

Its a great piece of tech, great battery life, sound quality, and size, great for working out and stuff. Unlink the stock "bass shit" headphones you can use other headphones as well with the unit. I got mine from rogers too my problems are that the track id do not display and the seek doesn't work

Hey I got the same problems as you.
Called rogers not really alot of help, they said try using different files for the song id display and seeking capabilities.
Called sony they said they can exchange it, you have to ship it to them but you got to pay the shipping expenses and stuff thou.

Hi Guys,

Sucks that you had to buy that, here in sweden it was included with the X10 in the box

Does anyone know if the chargers for the Xperia X10 and the mw600 headset are interchangeable?

Xperia X10 Charger
Input: 100-240VAC~150 mA,50-60 Hz
Output: 5.0 VDC===700 mA

mw600 Charger
Input: 100-240VAC~100mA,50-60 Hz
Output: 5.0VDC===550mA

The best I can figure at the moment is that if I used the mw600 charger for the phone it would just take longer to charge... but would using the xperia charger for the mw600 break it?

My MW600 came with the X10 and the only charger i've got was the X10 charger that i use for both the phone and the mw600

So the answer on your Q is... No

[nerrisse]

That's great news! Thanks!

Just wondering which charger you've got? the 700mA output or the 550mA output?

Hi Guys,

I contacted SE through email regards to the Track ID display and this is their answer.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for contacting Sony Ericsson Customer Support.

With regards to your previous inquiry, we have verified that the Xperia X10 will not be able to display the track ID and certain information from the phone due to the AVRCP profile of the Bluetooth.

This is because the operating system Android 1.6, 2.0 and 2.1 does not supports the AVRCP profile version 1.3 that is needed to send the information from the phone to the device.

...

I don't know how far this is true... but I don't understand why in the first place SE advertise that this Bluethooth is compatible with X10 !!

Can someone verify whether this is true?
