I just got an hbh 660 headset, and i noticed the backlight does not stay up long enough to read the display when i get a call at night or when its dark. i wonder why sony ericsson will go ahead and make this headset so cr@ppy.
Why do i need a bluetooth headset (with CLI) if i still have to look at my phone to see who's calling.

I also realised the 'play caller name' function is wack compared to my hbh 65, the 660 distorts the voice tag when its ringing, at the end you only hear half the name.

Has anyone else noticed this or is my 660 faulty?

It work just fine for me. It don't take but a sec to read the caller ID.
If it weren't for bad lucks, I would have no lucks at all.

the headset actually displays the caller. but the BACKLIGHT only flashes for half a second.

you definitely cant see who's calling when its dark. you have to resort to your phone. not quite acceptable by me.

Same problem here. It flashes for perhaps a 10th of a second, way to short to read the display in dim light.

i just found out the reason 4 this problem
it turns out that se p910i does not handle connection wfth hbh660 very well(i use a p910i with d 660). i paired the 660 with a samsung d500 and what did i get?
a 660 backlight that stays on when the fone is ringing
i uonder if i will be able to solve this by updating my fone on the se site

Just received a replacement HBH-660 today. Same problem. I'm using the latest firmware on my P910a, R4A10. Headset has firmware R1D, same as the one it replaced. My brother's HBH-660 works fine with my phone. His headset firmware is older, R1C.

try deleating the contact you have that is calling you,then re enter the contact and store it BUT DO NOT store first name and last name seperately, for example if the contact's name is john smith store it in the name category all together and leave the last name category blank. then enter the phone number. tried that on a friends k700 and it worked. the backlight remained on as long as the phone was ringing. (don't as me why l don;t know must be a bug) [addsig]

No problems with mine and i have the older R1C software on it. My main issue is the loud connecting beep which is so much louder then HBH-60 or HBH-65

HELP! Anyone have any idea of how to make p800 to see the caller id? I bought the HBH-660 but didnt notice that it (p800) doesn't support it. Even all others cheap model can display Caller ID on HBH 660 but not the HI-TECH P800. WHY????

Anybody have tricks or software that can help????

go to a se service center and do a firmware upgrade on your phone that might do it. [addsig]

This seems to be an issue only with P910 and HBH-660's with firmware R1D. R1C works fine with a p910, and R1D seems to work fine with every other phone.

i've had that same 'half caller-name' problem too. i have used ah hbh-65 before, and it always played the whole caller name, but not the 660. u only hear the last part of the name. i guess u can always use the reaaaaaallly loooooooooong names, then u'll know who's calling.

hbh 660 needs need an over-haul

When you record the name, give it a couple of sec. when it when you actually say the name. My hbh 660 as with my hbh 65 always say the name tag.
If it weren't for bad lucks, I would have no lucks at all.
