[Q] mt3gs headset problem... - myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Recently I've decided to use my ipod earphone (with microphone) with mt3gs so that I can talk and drive at the same time. However, as I insert it, even though there is sound coming in from the other party, they couldn't hear my voice. The phone did detect a headset inserted so I have no idea why this is happening. It's not the problem of the headset because it worked well in ipod as I tried to use it during skype.
Any ideas? Or is there a setting that I have to go to?
Thanks for helping out.

Help I have No sound (fixed)

I have got this weird problem with my Qtek 9090, I can’t hear a thing from the speaker except incoming calls??? And there’s no sound when I pick up and no one hear me on the other side unless I use the headset or the Bluetooth headset, everything works great then even playing music !??
I tried with few other rom, but no success! I even tried with WM5
Could this have anything with the headset plug? Cuse when the headset is plugged (in normal case) you can only hear incoming calls from the phone!
Remove your bluetooth profile(s), and do a soft reset.
I have the same problem after I used bluetooth.

dude, thanks for trying to help, but you should know better. flashing with a new rom erase everything including the the BT profile. I still think the problem is the headset jack.

This is telling me that you DID install the bluetooth again, and so you have a bluetooth profile, what is causing the no sound problem!
I have exactly the same problem as you.. When I remove the bluetooth profile all is working fine again.. that is.. untill I set it up again, and use it.. Than the SAME problem is back.
thank alot , but still got the problem even with the BT-profile removed, I have to use the wired headset to be able to hear anything
Problem Solved :lol: :lol: :lol:
I Opened the damn thing and took a look at the 2,5mm jack and guess what, it was broken ( I remember dropping the phone once for a week ago), I just removed it ( I don’t use the headset but I need the speaker), and everything is loud and clear now,
and with a Sprite Backup file I’m back now :twisted:
!!!?
I have such problem, but I think it really barbarian means of solving problem.
Is there any cleaner way?

I read in another post somewhere that there is a microswitch in/near the headphone jack that switches off the sound to the speaker. Apparently, if it sticks, you poke a paper clip in and twiddle it about and you'll free it.
no sound form jasjar
having same problem. poked around with paperclip and all that, but still no sound. dont need headphone jack because hoping to use latest a2dp hack form latest rom for jasjar to be able to use BT headset. will removing headphone jack affect using BT headphones? need external sound.
I also have a similar problem - when in phone mode, other side can hear me but i cannot hear them, if i plug a headset with microphone the other side hear me and i also have sound from other side.
if i unplug the headset, i cannot hear the other side but the other side can hear me.
are there microswitches inside the headset plug for both microphone and speaker (two microswitches) ?
thanks, yol.
just got my jasjar back after having cracked lcd and headphone jack replaced. sent to http://www.pocketpctechs.com out of california as suggested by very helpful user on this site. cost me around $20 dollars and took only a day to fix. works fine now!
My O2 XDA IIs is behaving rater unusally. For a while I've had the problem that many people have reported where I can hear nothing during a call but the other person can hear me. This could be remedied by a soft reset. However now, no amount of resets seem to fix the problem.
The baffling thing is though that the speaker hardware would appear to be working as MediaPlayer still plays music out of it and the phone still rings etc. However no sound what so ever comes through the 2.5mm socket now, from either a call or from MediaPlayer.
What on earth can I do to fix it?

Guys, are your problem similar to mine? My problem is that the speaker is not working even though playing mp3. I thought it was radio problem, so flashing new rom also doesnt help. It is really the headphone jack cause the problem? When i flash to new rom, the speaker works, but after the auto config, the speaker doesnt even sound.
Please advise me on this. Thank in advance

Bluetooth car-kit: hands-free and stereo audio

I have been using the Touch Pro 2 for a little while now, and I must say: no regret at all that I've bought it.
But the reason I post here is because I'm having a problem with my car-kit and the Touch Pro 2 when they are connected through bluetooth.
First of all, some data about the car-kit
Car stereo: JVC KD-BT22
Bluetooth functions: handsfree calling and Bluetooth Audio Streaming
Bluetooth version: 1.2 certified
Profile: HFP 1.5, OPP 1.1, A2DP 1.2, AVRCP 1.3
The situation:
When I pair the devices I can check two options:
1) Handsfree
2) Stereo Audio
This should be fine, but the problem comes next:
- When I both check handsfree and stereo audio, I don't get any streaming audio (I just hear about one second the song which is playing at the phone), if I call or get called nothing hapenned except the display of the phone showing the caller. The car-kit just keeps playing (for example) the CD.
- When I uncheck the stereo audio, just connecting the handsfree everything works "fine" (some small problems, not mentionable).
- When I only connect stereo audio the same happens as described before: the song which is playing at the phone I hear about one second, and after that it's silenced (the song is still "going forward", but no sound, nor on the phone, nor on the car stereo).
I've tried different set-ups, searched the forums and didn't saw anyone with this problem/no sollution, so I hope someone could help me.
This happened with the Stock Rom and also the custom rom I'm using right now, no difference. When I connect a stereo headphone (from Nokia) through Bluetooh, everything works fine.
don't pair from the phone use your Radio to pair...i had the same problem with my Pioneer at first so i searched for the device from my stereo and it worked just fine and ...i hope this helps... and make sure your discovery is always on...take care!
Well, that in a case makes sense...
The carkit also connected to my phone when discovery was turn off. Seemed strange to me already. A little, maybe stupid, question: what do I need to swith off/turn off on the phone so the phone won't connect to the carkit, but that I have to let the carkit connect to the phone?
HTC aware
I have similar problems with the BT stack in the TP2, which is disappointing having migrated from a Snap. I e-mailed HTC who admit they are aware of BT problems with the TP2 and advised me to keep an eye on the support page for a fix.

I also tried mailing HTC about this problem. The reply wasn't so hopegiving
"We're sorry, but the carkit isn't compatible. Please fill out the form for our technical support team"... Summary: I've not been too lucky with this combination
Hope they might do something about it after all. Me just thinking that Bluetooth = Bluetooth, but it's more complicated than that.
I also have the same problem with JVC-KD-AVX2 streaming audio. couple of times i did manage to get it to work, but once the stereo is turned off and on, i lose the streaming again.
i called HTC and emailed them. one said my stereo is not compatible, but i did have it working kind of.
not sure what the problem is as the touch pro1 worked fine. also my friends N97 worked fine
did all of you use your stereo to search for your phone or your phone to search for your stereo... if u used your phone then try using the stereo to to look for your phone under the connections menu and it should work

Sorry for my late reply.
I can't connect/pair the phone using the stereo, to bad.
Well, I have the Pioneer Stereo and what I discovered was you have to do it from the stereo. For some unknown reason it errors out from phone. Since that, I have no problems, further more it reads my text as well as incoming e-mails. Hope that help

Which Pioneer are you using? I'm using the F700, and for some reason it won't mute the radio when in a call. I haven't gotten time to mess around with it much though. Reading incoming texts would be great.
i bought a car kit MP3 player for my car. I paired it with my TP2 and enabled the "BT Audio" and "BT Handsfree". Outgoing calls work fine with no problems at all. But during incoming calls there is a problem. If the incoming call is from someone saved in my contacts, the BT carkit does not ring. If its from an unknown number (not saved in my contacts), it works perfectly. I tried all the tweaks and hacks in this forum but nothing worked. Anymore ideas.

x2, exact same problem with MY pioneer on 6.1 ... took me an hour to figure out how to pair it correctly, and it happened completely by accident out of frustration while I was pounding my fists into the horn haha. Now I know better...
set your phone to discoverable, then pair from the radio, confirm on the phone. good luck - Mark

The only thing I can think of is that maybe you have different ringtones set up for contacts and unknown contacts. Or your carkit is broken.
Hope this helps - Mark

Try the cab from this thread ------> Fix for playing ringtones over bluetooth headset.
It's meant so that the actual ringtone you have set will play on the car kit. I know my car kit used to have its own ring which was... boring to say the least. Now the various ring tones set to people on my phone play through the car kit. Anyway... This MIGHT fix the issue you guys are having as well.

Yes i do have diifferent ringtones for contacts and also different pictures. The problem is in the contacts name. When i remove the name and leave it unnamed it works fine.

Can anyone help me get earphones usb/3.5mm working

Ive been told to use these codes in the start up text but they dont work and I dont know how to get them to work. Can anyone help me with what steps it would take or what I can do to get this to work. In order for me to use the new sound feature to the best of its ability I really need earphones to work.
Enable/Disable handsfree
"htc_hw.handsfree=X"
1=Enable
0=Disable
Headset
"snd.force_headset=X"
1=USB headset
2=3.5mm headset
You can try all the coding you want and it is still aint gonna work..It doesn't work at this moment
I tried the same and other codes in the start up and all it did was disable the sound, once they get the 3.5 mm headphone jack and the camera working i will be a very happy xdanroid tp2 user (not that i'm not already thanks developers for your hard work!

I would take either external speakerphone or 3.5mm jack...I've been refreshing the rhodium zimage page for the past 4 days hoping for a new one to try but nada...
On my tilt 2 im able to use the Headset set to "snd.force_headset=1" and i just call Voicemail before i boot to android and it works fine on android, donno if it will work the same for the 3.5 one tho. hope this helps you. Only thing is when u unplug the headset it may take a few seconds delay for sound to switch back speaker, but other than that it works.
I upgraded my Spotify account just so I can use it on my phone as I'm going on holiday next week, but realised the handsfree (in-ear sound) doesn't even work!! and I can't even use the WM app as a backup..
I do hope this get's sorted soon.
Okay, so I am a Sprint Touch Pro II user, and tried to use the previous posters advice to add "snd.force_headset=1" to the startup.txt file (changed it to 2 instead of 1 as I use the 3.5 jack). I booted to windows with my headset plugged in, called my voicemail as instructed, ran the previously installed Reefermattness stuff, and guess what? My 3.5 jack worked. Only problem, thats all that worked. Once I disconnected the headset, it did not go back to the internal or external speaker. Damn! I thought I could switch for good!

Best blue tooth headset.

Anyone to recommend a good Bluetooth headset, a set with music controls 3.5mm jack for your own earphones and a display that would display the id3 tags or file name. Of course be able to answer calls.
I'm using a Nokia one at the moment but its not very responsive, dunno if its because of the old Bluetooth 1.0 compatibility.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
Sony MW600.
Thanks for the recommendation, so I bought a set after reading positive reviews. Connection was easy and very quick and responsive. But one fault is that the phone itself starts ringing on incoming calls the and some signals through the headset. Weird doesn't happen on my old slow unresponsive BT headset (Nokia) at least the phone didn't ring just signals through the headset bit embarrassing when your phone goes off and you answer on a BT headset.
Any settings that could fix this?
I have resetted BT pairing and the headset but still same.
Anybody use this with wildfire?

Are you using any custom roms? I remember that cyanogen rom has some options about ringing in headphones, if I am not mistaken.
Also, did you test it on another phone to see if it's behaving the same way ?
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App
I am using Wildpuzzle 0.8. Checked media and phone audio is connected. Have tried it on a Nokia and same thing happens. Can the headset be updated or something? My way round is to mute the phone when I connect the headset but this is so inconvenient when sometimes I forget to reenable sound.

Try this: Do a nandroid back-up and flash CM7. See if the problem still persists.
If not... I`m out of ideas. Maybe try to get a refund?
I have read many threads with same complaint, now realising It's a feature of most new smartphones (dunno whether its just android or not) that phone always rings with Bluetooth headsets just in case for some reason you take out your earphones for some reason.
I'm a little reluctant to switch to cm7 waiting for it to be stable first.

I think it`s normal for a phone to ring via the speaker even with the headset connected. Maybe they just need to add an option for it.
I meant testing CM7, not switching to it completely. A 30 min job to test CM7 and restore nandroid.
Hi
Just got the MW600 as well, very pleased so far.
I have the same issue, phone is ringing as well - whereas it does not really bother me.
There are few things not working well for me, so I was hoping to find here some feedback:
- No Song titles are displayed (not so bad since it is normally clipped in a position where you can not easily check
- the call-button does not work to call somebody, only to take a call
- the play button does not automatically start playing HTC music - but worked with Winamp and Songbird
Any suggestions ?
Original Rom (l have 2.2.1 nie) have Sound quality issue over a2do. HTC support said, I must wait for next update (when they may be fix it)

I'm having an issue with my Plantronics 903+ Bluetooth Headset. They pair and play's music fine , but it cuts out quite alot if i move about. Honestly if I have to sit still I may as well get wired headphones.
I am CM nightly's (71) with the latest radio flashed.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hello,
i use Jabra BT3030
http://www.productwiki.com/jabra-bt3030/
3 years of working, without any problem
Ok, I really start to like the SE MW600 a lot
If you get a call music stops and you can take the call with one button.
Double tapping the call button re-calls the last person you phoned - works good as well.
But I am still not having the ideal media player
Original HTC music player fails to start up automatically when you tab the music button
- but next song/pause works well
Songbird opens automatically, next song/pause/... works well but searching in a track not and it is rather heavy making the phone really slow
Winamp is probably the best, but I still think it is too heavy
Does anybody knows a good light media player with bluetooth support ?

Bluetooth microphone and OK Google

Having an issue where I can't get the microphone on any of my Bluetooth devices to work with OK Google.
I have a motorcycle Bluetooth (china brand) and also a set of Jabra headphones. Both work done playing music and using them on phone calls but for the life of me when I activate OK Google it defaults to the internal microphone only and won't use the Bluetooth microphone.
I've tried changing all the settings under voice in the ok Google settings and also the settings to do with Bluetooth headset and hands-free bit still can't get it to work.
Is it just me, is it my settings or has OK Google stopped working via Bluetooth (I've read others have no issue)
Running 8.0 but have also tried it on a 7.2.1 S8
Any help or ideas?
Hi!
I just have to ask, did you ever get this working, and if so, how?!
I'm having the exact same problem as you, with a Galaxy S6 on 7.0 and a BT-S2 chinese helmet intercom.
I'm going crazy and really considering going back to iphone just because of this.
Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply. Did not get any notification about the reply.
Did not get it working. Turns out it needs to be included in the headset as a standard feature (which the china headset did not have) Now use Sena headsets and they work great.
