Someone please shed some light! BT issue - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Hi Guys,
Right, i'm looking for some way to stop my XDA2s "waking up" on connection/disconnection of Bluetooth.
Whenever i get in my car, my BA auto connects to my Nokia CK-7W Bluetooth car kit, as it should. But it also unlocks/turns on, allowing the screen/buttons to be pressed.
This wouldn't be so much of an issue if i had a car cradle (still shoppin about) but at present i'm using a leather case and its going mental in my pocket everytime i turn on/off my ignition.
I'm having to re-lock my phone everytime i get in or out my car...
This may well be 'normal' behaviour, but is there anyway to stop this 'wake on BT' ?? Even if only for the Nokia BT Profile in BT Manager...
Running standard spec (out of the box) unlocked XDA2s on O2 PAYG sim.
no updates as of yet. (if u feel this would help, please specify which)
Thanks in advance to anyone who can assist.
Dickie.

Dickie, don't have your answer but I'm intrigued to find out if you get truly awful sound quality with your Nokia kit? i.e. the caller gets a truly horrendous echo?

They sure do JH,
Something i looked around for recently - only had the kit fitted last week.
I rang my office during its installation and my mate said it sounded fine, i've also had a friend say it didn't sound too bad when the engine wasn't started, but i've had definate problems during transit.
I've got an engineer looking at it tomorrow, will let you know if this can be resolved any other way than replacing (although he'll be swapping it for another brand if he can't sort it).
I believe an Ericsson model works fine??

Just a quick note, if others are experiencing sound quality issues, before blaming your kit/phone try cleaning the contact points on your sim/phone as my engineer stated 90% of echo issues he resolves this way....
not for me though, brand spanking new phone and even newer sim...
if only all fixes were that simple!

Wake up on BT connect/disconnect
I have the same isue with the phone waking up on connect/disconnect, but as I have my phone requiring it's PIN before anything can be done, then the phone goes back to sleep after 2 minutes.
I don't really find it an issue.

Problem: Speakerphone always on... always.

I had a strange problem on Sunday where my phone was constantly sending the * non-stop. I tried powercycling and yanking the battery, but it was relentless. The key was still 'clickable', so I decided to disassemble the device and clean the key sensor. (I had disassembled it a while back to replace the screen, so I wasn't intimidated by this procedure.) I used one of the guides on youtube to take it apart, I gently cleaned the sensor with a qtip and reassembled the phone. And it worked! No more stuck keys
Now though, I have a new problem. All conversation comes out of the speakerphone. I can turn the speakerphone on and then off, warm boot, cold boot, yank the battery, adjust the volume properties, I even reflashed the newest Ricky 6.1 rom. Still, I get all audio out of the speakerphone. As far as I can tell it also is coming from the ear speaker, but the speakerphone is loud enough that I could just as well be hearing it instead.
The question is, is this a short? I'd have a hard time seeing it to be a s/w issue after I reflashed. Does anyone have any ideas what I'm facing?
bump.
I realize I'm posting a probable hardware issue to a primarily software forum. I wasn't sure where else to go. If anyone can suggest a different forum that I could post the question at, that would be equally appreciated.

i have same problem please help
take it to service - HW fault .. or if you wish to open device I can tell you what the test points are
I agree with JSP_M
You didn't have this problem before you opened your device. You have the problem now, since you have opened your device, so that obviously means that something went wrong when you opened it.
The audio output is one line. It diverts the signal to the earpiece or the speaker. These diversions are controlled by your registry, since you have reflashed your phone, the registry will have been cleared, so that is not the problem. Plus, you claimed you hear sound in the earpiece at the same time you hear sound in the speaker, so open up your device.
Trace out the lines from the speaker and the lines from the earpiece, if you feel froggy. Then, see if anywhere that shouldn't be touching is, or if something looks brown or discolored. This indicates a short circuit. I can safely tell you though, that something is touching somewhere that is not supposed to be. Listen to JSP_M, he sounds like he has some other points of interest for you test, once you get you phone opened up.
Hope this helps. Later.

Try to call the customer service line from Tmobile and tell them your phone is defective and they should send you a new one.
The loud speaker is harnessed in the back housing of the phone and the ear speaker is harnessed in the faceplate above the LCD. The pads that they connect to aren't even close to each other and are on opposite sides of the mobo. I have repaired a lot of Dash phones and I have yet to come accross this problem. Try cleaning the pads they connect to and make sure the contacts are making a good connection. Or, if you can live without speaker phone then just remove the speaker from the housing all together.
I'm having the same problem on my Wing (Herald). But I never took it apart. In addition Activesync will no longer work. It never connects but my computer makes the 'ding' and the PPC screen lights up when I connect it so it can't be a bad usb port. It seems like a software problem to me, since it recognizes being plugged in, just not the connection.
What are the registry keys that route the audio?
how can i edit register keys
and i get new ear speaker still same problem
thank you
Send it to customer service
I once had that problem.... I sent it to customer service, and i got a new phone in 3 days. You have to pay for shipping though.
Heeeelppppp
guys i'm having the same problem with speakerphone... it's always on... i can't fix it, no even with the link that says to mess with the usb tab, or by conecting the mini usb cable... is there any type of software out there for me??? what can i do?? i bought my excalibur on ebay so i cant' return it... please someone help me!!!!!!!!!!!

Weird NOISE/crackling during call - DESIRE HD - HELPPP

Hello , i recently bought the Desire HD, and havent been experiencing any problems with it except of one quite annoying.
When im in a call, either outgoing or incoming, the speaker makes a weird crackling noise.
This happens always, and happens on both the phones speaker, and loud speaker (depending on which is selected during call), and headphones(when connected). Ive searched the forum, and some people have been experiencing a sort of problem, but not on the same device.
any help is very much appreciated thank you
I can verify that I'm experiencing the same with my Desire HD.
We discussed this issue already in the german "Android-Hilfe"-Forum. This buzzing, crackling noise seems to affect a small number of desire HD's. Mine was affected too. All the devices have been changed on warranty with no costs for the customer in germany. No matter from which provider they were bought.
Edit: BTW: Wrong Forum, I think. Could an Admin move this thread please?
Thanks for the quick replies guys, appreciate it
Hi All,
My Desire HD has started doing this today too! Really gutted. What has HTC UK support been like this on it? Replacement or repair, and how quick? I dont want to be without a phone long! Is this a widely recognised problem, apart from this thread I dont see much on it. Im wondering if the buzz comes from a loose LED flash cover vibrating caused by the speaker?
Thanks very much
I have the same and I thought it is the proximity sensor opening and closing.
Are you guys sending it back for replacement or are you going to live with it?
i have the same problem it sounds like the earpice is short circuiting for 1/10 second
i dont know is it a general problem or only limitted to our handsets
and if we update the radio version is it going to disappear or not
any help is appreciated

I sent 2 support cases to HTC at the same time. The one was for tjis issue and the other for something else. The other one was answered next day but for that one, not a word. Does this tell you something?
didnt understand you sir.

i have the same issue
Issue with noise
I recently replaced my DHD due to a similar issue. I found if my hand palm was making contact at all with the SIM.SD Card cover, ie the antenna I would get an extremely high pitch feedback sound. Also if phone was on charge the crackle sound was audible.
Orange were great and replaced the original handset straight away at no cost but the replacement also appears to have the same issue. For the moment I'm considering contacting HTC direct but i'm not sure as otherwise I love the phone, and truly believe it is the best on the market.
I think the issue might be resolved if i get a outer protective cover so I'm going to try that first, and not use the device while on charge.
Would be good to know if others have had these experiences.

Whatever you decide, contact HTC so that they know and work on the problem. As I said, I contacted them but never received a reply which means that they are aware and have no solution.

That must be a different issue. I hear that noise via BT headset when I don't even touch the phone. I believe it's due to the sound frequency change during a call and the low quality speaker cannot handle. It's like using a high wattage amplifier on a low quality speaker and expect to hear deep bass sound. I guess you all know the result of such sound.
I'm also experiencing this problem. Sent the phone in and got it back but the problem is still there. They changed the motherboard and the loudspeaker but that obviously didn't fix the problem. So now I probably have to send it back again.
i just hope this problem can be fixed with software..
hi all,
in my case occasionally during call's even whit sound volume low a ear the person talking with " extremely high pitch feedback sound".
It's a very good phone but that problem is starting to annoying me.
i allready send a email to htc portugal and their response was to send the equipment to the repair center
in you opion what should i do? send to repair?
Thanks
Have you tried enabling the SRS improvement? It can be done in the music player. It made the crackling sound during calls in my device disappear...

I will try this and post back...
What I'm experiencing, when I'm on hold with my service provider (Vodafone AU) I can hear the normal on hold music then at random intervals just for a half a second or so the music cuts and there's an annoying crackle noise. Sometimes there is no noise for a while then there can all of a sudden there can that crackle noise every few seconds. Like another person has said for me if I change to loudspeaker it still does the crackle noises and turning the volume down doesn't help. I've tried taking my hand off the phone but it still happens. I have noticed a few times the reception bars icon, drop a bar or gain a bar when this noise happens so maybe there's a link?!? By the way I'm running LeeDroid 1.4.1 (wich is based on HTC's 1.72.405.3 ROM). Also I'm running the Jan 17th Radio version: 12.39.60.19U_26.06.04.06_M.
Right. This could well sound daft but try it anyway! Someone on another forum said it worked for him (her?) and it worked for me with a Nokia E71. The speaker was 'crackling' so I did the usual googling. The answer was, for me, to suck really hard on the speaker a couple of times. Basically the diaphragm gets put out of place and the 'sucking' gets it back.
Try it and see! Though it won't fix the 'feedback-type' noises I'd guess but I find most of those are specific to a particular call. Either call back, or get them to call you back, and all is well.

[Q] Optimus Headset issue

I could use some help!
Here's the issue. The headphone icon is on all the time on my phone. Which in turns causes me not to be able to hear phone calls. For a short term fix I used an app to disable the headset, but the icon is still there.
It thinks there is headphones plugged in all the time, when there isnt. The phone is two weeks old. Hasn't been dropped or abused. I called AT&T and they are seeing if I can get an in store replacement. But I may have to be given a refurb already after two weeks
Anyways. The phone thinks there is headphones plugged in all the time. i tried pulling the battery, power cycling, using different headphone and plugging them in, pulling them out thinking something got stuck. But nothing.... It still thinks there is headphones plugged in. Now when I plug in head phones some google voice thing pops up asking me to speak into the phone, when I hit the back button my music will start playing thru the head phones....
Anyone else have this issue? I have looked down instead the headphone port and there is nothing in there that would be causing a blockage from the hardware detector that I could see (not to say there isn't something causing this)
Please help! AT&T is going to be calling me back and letting me know about a replacement sometime, but if someone knows what's going on I'd rather just fix it then start over with a new phone...
My guess would be that there is still some sort of short. I think you were right to suspect something stuck down in the jack, but it sounds like something inside the casing may be shorting on the terminals. Since you said it opened up the voice command thing, I would suspect that the 4th pole was triggered (or whichever the microphone button would be for a 4-pole headset). As far as I know, the microphone/media button is activated when the jack senses a short on a specific pole. But, it would have to think that you have inserted a 4-pole plug. I don't know for sure, but I assume it does this by checking opposite sides along the plug shaft to see how many distinct conductors are present. If it thought your typical 3-pole plug was a 4-pole, there would probably be another "conductor" present, i.e. the trouble-making short-circuit.
Unfortunately, it sounds to me that you have a hardware problem. If you were adventurous, you could open up the case and inspect for the short. It may be something simple lying across some solder joints or something. However, it is probably safer to simply get the warranty exchanged refurb. I have one myself since my original one had this obnoxious echo that the caller on the other end would complain about. The refurb unit works great!
It's a bummer, but I doubt you'll even know the replacement is a "refurb". Sorry I don't have better news or advice. Good luck!
I had a simile issue a while back...mine was resolved with a couple of swift taps on the table on the corner of my phone closest to the ear phone Jack.....
When the f*ck did we get ice cream??
Thank you.
I figured it was something to do with the little pegs inside. Luckily for me, since it was in the first 30 day period I was able to get a new in store replacement. normally for people its 14 days, but since I have a company account it's 30 days in store replacement. It was replaced with a brand new device.
The guy there was actually a little tech savvy and was saying the same thing. He tried a few things also, even looking inside and poking the pegs with a needle to see if one was lodged. Everything was OK though. Strange.
New device in hand! Works much better. It raises concern over a design defect though. I hate to go thru this again and get a refurb phone in a month because of the same issue.
Guess I will stop using it for a music player hooked to the stereo in my car and just use my old ipod touch for that.

I am stuck in headphone mode

Hi,
Usually I just check XDA forums, play with my phone around but I never post or start topics, so this is a first cause I am kinda clueless.
I have my HTC one M8 now for like a week, completely love the phone however since yesterday it got stuck in headphone mode.
The following things I tried: Hard reset, Back-up to previous date, Blowing compressed air, carefully cleaning with 95% alcohol while phone was turned off, Inserting regular phones like 7 times while screen was unlocked, currently using soundabout app to divert the problem... Nothing helped.
The only thing I didn't try is actually rooting the phone however I am not sure if ill have any warranty left then.
Any other ideas perhaps?

if its an hardware problem i'm not sure there's much u can do, accept trying to clean the headphones jack
if its a software bug maybe try:
-connecting your headphones then turn boomsound on\off then disconnect them.
- hard rest while the headphones are connected then disconnect them.
-before u try a root u can just try a factory rest and u will still have your warranty and if that doesn't work its definitely a hardware issue.

You're not alone, having the same problem and no solution. The most annoying part about it is that I have to use speaker mode to be able to hear/talk during a phone call. Went to the shop and they said they will order another aux jack for me.. not very happy

I too find myself stuck in Headphone mode. I don't use headphones and not sure what prompted it. I pulled it out of my pocket after work and found it like that. Restarts and Factory Resets don't do a thing.
When I borrowed a pair of headphones, upon plugging them in my phone starts to dial the last person I called all by itself.
Was hoping to hear how your situation worked out. Verizon said I'm covered by the manufacturing warranty and that HTC will ship me a phone to replace this one. I forgot to ask and am extremely worried I'm going to get a refurbished phone that's already had other issues.
Kinda disappointing on an otherwise awesome phone!

This is a quick fix for you guys and gals. Download the App SoundAbout. It gives you the option to control where the media,phone call etc sound comes threw. Choose speaker for Media and problem solved. Hope this helps you guys out. This website have helped me out alot and I am just trying to do my part to return the favor.
Has anyone figured this out without having to install an App to fix this issue?
same problem...
I'm having the same problem and also go through Verizon yes you will get a refurbished phone. I'm pissy cuz I just paid $700 and now I'm gonna get a used phone. That's Bull****. I'm sick of these companies just taking advantage of us. Also that soundabout app did not work for mine anyways.

Had the same issue and resolved it by applying a small amount of rubbing alcohol on the tip of a Q tip and twisting it in the headphone jack. You will have to remove a little of the cotton to get it to fit. There is a small censor in the headphone jack the registers that the headphones are in. Dirt from your pocket and lent get inside the hole and confuses the phone into thinking that headphones are still plugged in. Do it a few times and then blow into the hole hard to force the dirt and lent out. Best is if you have a can of air for keyboards.
I did it like three times and blew the hole and haven't had a problem since. It isn't a software issue but a small hardware issue. This is the only fix for this problem. If you want you can take it into your carrier and they will do the same for you, well at lease try.
HTC sent me an M8 to replace my M7 that they weren't able to repair. It intermittently has this headset problem - the icon appears and sounds get routed to a non-existent headset. Factory reset doesn't seem to help. It's just back from repair and it seems the same. I asked for a replacement as the phone is pretty much new, but they said it needs to go in for repair again! Needless to say, I'm tiring of this as it's been 2 months since I've had a reliable phone!
The only workaround that seems to work is to carry a set of headphones in my pocket and to briefly insert them when it goes into headset mode. That usually clears it, but it can appear again within minutes. I'm hoping the repair centre can fix it this time.
How to fix HTC One M8 headset icon
Ok so straight off this isn't a hardware fix. I tried cotton buds, paper clips, compressed air etc etc etc.
What does work is this - Install this, or a similar App from Play Store (SoundAbout Pro).
The App allows you to manually configure what means the phone will use for sound such as calls, media etc. Mine took effect after a reboot.
The troublesome icon will remain but the sound, and ability to make/receive calls will return.
Hope his is of use to some of you.
Solution here
Hi folks, I just had this problem and I know the feels.
Now you don't have to worry, the solution is this:
Try using your radio built-in application over and over again. Doing this will make your mobile to search recursively for a headphone/headset signal. Since there is no headphone actually plugged in, your mobile will eventually detect that in fact, this is true and will exit that obnoxious headset mode.
Hope this can help you all guys.
Pd. I'm not sure if I used English wrong, if that happens to be the case: sry for bad English. Lol.
Thanks that helped me by turning on/off the boomsound with the headphones in. I was in the middle of a phone call when my switched automatically by itself to headphones. It took me awhile to figure out what had happened.
I had this problem and I never used headphones. I turned off the boom sound (settings). I inserted the headphones and then shut down my phone, pulled out the headphones and turned on the phone - and it works!

Weak Bluetooth Signal

I'm going to go out on a limb and say this is a common problem for the SGS3. Previous to my HM1900 Samsung Bluetooth I had the HM1800. The 1800 worked flawlessly, around 25 feet or so through a wall, turning my head, etc., how a Bluetooth should work. The HM1900, however, is awful in comparison. During work, I keep my phone in my right breast pocket with the headset in my right ear. I stream music while working (in near-perfect 4G) though if I put my arm over my chest, or turn my head, I lose signal. Could it be the headset itself, or is it a possibility that it's a combination of both?
On the phone I have the Otterbox Commuter case, so it isn't that thick. The phone is not rooted and running 4.3. I have attempted at doing a software update, but nothing downloads. Is there somewhere to download a software update for the Bluetooth itself on the phone? Or is this just a lost cause?
I would rather keep the HM1900 just because of how well built it is, I easily ruined my HM1800 within two weeks for it not being as robust.
And another side note! Volume is damned quite on the headset even with everything at full volume. Any volume control fix or app?

Repairing doesn't do anything unfortunately.
Is it possible there's just a weak bluetooth antennae in the phone, or it has somehow become damaged/unhooked?
Going back to my first post, the older headset worked wonderfully, but this new one isn't doing so hot. Turn my head; lose signal, place a hand over phone; lose signal. It will however work from five feet away crystal clear with no obstructions, but I must be within sight and have my headset facing the phone. Seems a little ridiculous for a bluetooth if I can't have the phone in my pocket.
If when checking the Bluetooth association you find general poor performance, then there are a few things you can attempt. Initially, make certain your gadget's batteries are appropriately charged or are overall new. Contingent upon the gadget, you can discover this data in either the Bluetooth menu or the Bluetooth framework inclination by selecting "Show more information" from the apparatus menu. On the off chance that your gadget has removable batteries, than regardless of the fact that the framework reports them as being healthy, give the battery compartment a decent investigation to check whether any consumption has happened from a spilling battery.

Unfortunately the batteries are not removable in my device. They are fully charged as well. I think a lot of this comes down to the signal on the BlueTooth itself brand to brand and model to model. Still though, there might be a fix.
I have come to the conclusion that the Bluetooth headset is the problem going from one device to another; from one Galaxy S3 to an HTC One to my current Galaxy Note 4. The problem is the HM1900. Purchase the HM1700, it's not as robust, but it sure fits better and gives better sound.
