Headset Issues - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Hello All!
I'm afraid that when it comes to XDA's, I'm rather an idiot. So I turn to you, the people who know infinately more than I ever will, to help me work my XDA!
The specific issue that I'm having is with my headset jack. My headset jack puts out audio perfectly well! But when I'm making calls, nobody can hear me when I speak out! I've gone through about 5 headsets now, and only one has worked decently; it has since stopped working.
Is there any way to force the phone into increasing the sensitivity of the microphone? or is my poor little Wallaby forced to never have the satisfaction of using a headset? My software information is as follows:
-XDA-Developers Special Edition ROM (Ver. 3.17.03 ENG)
-Radio: 1.33.02
-Protocol: 1.3.3
-Siemens SX-56 (Wallaby)
-32 MB Version
Thanks in advance for your help!

BT headset and WM2003SE problem

I have been using WM2003SE for almost 2 weeks now, and I am very satisfied with it.
I have one problem though with the BT headset. The BT headset AND the speaker on the phone is always on, when in a call. It has the advantage of being able to make conversations in stereo (phone on one ear and headset on the other) Apart from that, it is rather annoying because it seems like the microphone in the phone is the only active microphone (the receiving end is complaining of difficulties of hearing me, when I get away from the phone).
How do I become able to switch between the phone and the headset again?
BT headset: Jabra 250
PDA: Qtek 2020
ROM: 2.02.t1WWE
Radio: 1.18.00
Protocol: 1337.38
ExtROM: 1.72.125 (not sure witch)
Regards Steen
i'm using jabra 200 and works fine with me. try pairing again with the device.. it might works
Thank you for the sugestion - but I have tried that - without any luck
/Steen
I'm having this problem too with my motorola HS810 headset.
I'm sure it wasn't like this at first though. I've installed bluetooth tools and tried re-pairing, everything I can think of (except a hard reset - I guess thats next though).
What apps do you have installed, perhaps we have some in common and that's causing the problem?
This never happen to 220CHS :twisted:
I'm getting the same issue with my HBH-600!
The CHS ROM, i thought this was Chinese....can i install as english?
Different ROMs
Hi guys!
Looks like some of you are using two different ROM versions, 2.02t and 2.06.
Only the first one supports, finally! the hands free profile, with the inconvenience of playing "stereo" when a headset is identified as "hands free".
The 2.06 version, does not support handsfree at all, so I discarded it after a bit of testing in my machine.
(Can't help with CHS versions, sorry)
For more info read my thread in BT carkits.
Hope it helps.
:roll:
Had the same problem. After 3 hard resets and trying a different BT headset I finally found that installing Bluetooth Tools fixed the problem. will try it out tomorrow and see if it works OK.

Jabra 250 BT Headset Sounds Faraway

Hi,
I recently upgraded my ROM to version 2.06, radio 1.18 and used Sins Ext Rom version 3.5. Since the upgrade, when I use by Jabra 250 BT handsfree, people are complaining that i sound faraway or on the other side of the room when i talk. I can hear others fine. I never had this issue with my 1.60 rom that came installed with the phone.
I actually have 2 of the Jabra 250 and tried bonding with both devices to rule out a hardware error with the hands free itself and the problem occurs with both units.
I did have Pocket Bluetooth tools installed at one point and removed the program from my device and that is the only thing i can think of that might have screwed with the Radio or the BT.
Anybody out there have any ideas,
Thanks,
Danny
Hi Danny,
I did the upgrade this week end.
I have the same problem.

Hi,
New upgrade to Rom 2.20
The bt Jabra works ok.
Heya Universed,
I had the same problem when I bought my BT250, I realised that why I sounded so far away was because the headset's mic was disabled and my voice was being picked up by the XDA mic.
There are a few forum topics regarding loss of mic depending on ROM version.
I am using ROM 2.06, radio 1.18 and sins EXT rom 3.5, but I am using pocket blue tooth tools and only bonding the 250 as a headset (there are work-arounds for handsfree but the 250 doesn't seem to like them ie the mic gets disabled).
I haven't yet been able to have a handsfree solution for my 250 though hopefully a proper (not converted) ROM 2.20 may solve this.
Craig.
Well,
I ended up reflashing my ROM and building everything over from scratch and the problem has gone away. So there must be some sort of configuration issue between the 2.06 ROM and other 3rd party software that I had installed.
This time around i have yet to install Pocket Blue Tooth Tools and have yet to reisntall Voice Command 1.5. So don't really know the underlying cause but have rectified the problem just for today.
I like the idea of upgrading to 2.20 Rom but i am understand there is no English version out for my Asia copy O2? Lemme know ifI I am incorrect on that count?
Thanks,
Danny

Echo on Nokia C7-7W carkit

I use my Qtek 9090 through bluetooth with a Nokia C7-7W carkit.
I hear my callers and whom I call to very well, but they hear an echo. Can anyone tell me how to prevent? It looks like it is very annoying.
Thanks in advance!
I got the same problem and did not find any solution so far. Is there someone to extend a helping hand??
same problem, but with Qtek S100 + Nokia HS-11W
Hi ppl,
I have the same problem, but I'm using a Qtek S100 + Nokia HS-11W as headset. I thought it was the headset that has a problem, but I think it is something with the Qtek S100. So far, I did not find a solution for this, so I just keep waiting until someone figures it out! :?
Jorge
I have this problem with 2 out of 3 of my BT headsets. The old Jabra 200 seems to work fine, but the other 2 get an echo. If I turn the volume on the headset down, the caller does not get an echo, but I can't here them very well. I guess the problem must lie with the BA. Yet another feature of this device - can't wait for the Universal (hopefully, with a fully working BT implimentation)
I have the same problem when I use bluetooth and I think the problem is that the voice out of the loudspeaker is fed back to the microphone and the other party hears his/her echo. I think it does not happend when the phone is in the cradle because there are echo cancellers in the NOKIA carkit. to get rid of the problem I reduce the volume and use the farest loudspeaker only. Hope it helps :lol: .
I have tried it, but didn´t work, even when I close the microphone of my phone, it keeps echoing...HELP!!!
Hi Tikkel,
When I said microphone I meant the car kit microphone. As soon as you connect to the car kit you start using the car kit loudspeakers and microphone. Hence try to use the farest loudspeaker and set the volume to the minimum necessary. Let me know if you still have the problem.
KR,
Reda
I have tried it and it works! No echoing anymore...but my volume is very low and I can hardly hear the caller...
Let's hope for an better solution, but thanks for now!!!
Its the NOKIA fault.
I used to face the same issue, but i changed Car Kit to the HCB-300 SE and the problem is gone !!
I have installed the new rom ( 1.40 ) and don't have any problems anymore...
Echo on Nokia Car Kit

Can you confirm after installing the rom upgrade to 1.40, that you can use the nokia car kit with no more echoing, cause I have a O2 XDA 11s from Australia, and I am suffering with the same annoying issue with the Nokia CK-1W car kit.
Can I apply the 1.40 rom update that was posted a few days ago to my XDA?
Your help is much appreciated.
After installing the rom update 1.40 I had less complaints about echoing. But yesterday, there was some one complaining again about echoing. Just first of all try turning the volume of the carkit to the lowest and make a call...
So the echo is not yet gone for now!
I have exactly the same problem with an SPV M2000 on Orange and the Ck-7W car kit. I used the kit succesfully with a nokia 6600 for a year or so and have used carkits for years so I know it isn't an installation problem.
Nokia support aren't interested as its a non-nokia phone.
Tried the upgrade on the Business section of the Orange website. No joy there either.
I'm at my witts end with this one! I just use my earphones now but its a real pain in the ar*e when you're used to a radio-muting, self connecting carkit.
I seem to remember with Nokia phones you could do something with EFR that helped but this isn't so on these phones.
Tried some bluetooth upgrades but to be honest its not something I'm comfortable with and think the problem lies elsewhere.
If anyone comes up with a fix for this it would be hugely appreciated. Callers complain all the time. I tested it by parking the car outside the office and ringing the office phone. Ran inside and spoke to the empty car with no engine running and yes theres an echo thats as loud as the voice. Truly awful.
So much for compatitblilty eh!!!?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Hi, to be honest it's not Nokia's fault their car kit work well with nokia phones, which they were designed to do. You would think bluetooth is compatable with other bluetooth devices this is not always the case.
To be fair your only option is the ericsson HCB 30 or the 300 car kit or i belive the parrot bluetooth with the lastest software work really well
alarmed
guy's your so lucky,
I have Just XDA II and I can't get the phone to work with the car kit!!
life sux when from down under. :?
no one has a aussie upgrade whithout the phone locking up.
and when You ask custom support which is in hong kong they don't know when the upgrades are coming!
It is definitive Nokia's fault. I had a huge echo using a SE t610 (and the xda2s) with ck7w! Does anyone know a good alternative for a bluetooth carkit?
as installers for car kits, and i own an XDA myself.
i have tried the phone with the following car kits, CK7W, CK1W and neither of these work, this is down to nokia's car kit and there is no known fix for this...
if we have customers with XDA's (or 2s) we now use Motorola HFW8000 as we have found these work with no problems at all.
Same problem here, lots of echo with the cw7 carkit.
Going to have a good look at the BT and wave dll's.
Have taken 2 days too look at the problem,
have tryed different BT stack. But nothing worked.
Replaced the speaker (from the CK-7W) carkit from onder the drivers dash to the passengers dash and got a slide improvement on the echo problem.
going to try a directional microfoon next.
ill tell you the results once i get them.
Solution!
I have the solution of the bt car kit error! :!:
I bought a MDA Vario/Wizard/9100 with the newest rom on it. Now it works like really good and no echoing anymore! Pairing and calling without echos!

Bluetooth Headsets for BA

Hey guys,
I'm trying to find a bluetooth headset that will work clearly and cleanly with my xda iis.
I've tried the jabra 250 whilst in the o2 shop and the chap there blamed the crackly poor quality sound on the flourescent lights. Whatever!
Could we start a thread of known working bluetooth headsets for the blue angel or is there a list somewhere else?
I'm becoming quite tired of trying to find a clear working device.
Thanks.
I'm using a Nextlink BlueSpoon without any problems.
Motorola HS810 here, works fine.
i use the BodyGlove Bluetooth Headset.
No Complaints.
i use the Sony-Ericsson HBH-602 Headset, it works fine.
I have used the following:
Ultra Mini Bluetooth Headset - Crackle City
Sony Ericsson HBH-65 - Worked Great
Nextlink Bluespoon AX - Crackly City
Sony Ericsson HBH-600 - Crackle someitmes - but good otherwise.
Used BT800 with Telecom Harrier and it doesn't work properly.
Paired alright and it seems like the mic part of the headset is not working.
I can hear people talking over the phone but they can't hear me at all.
Upgraded to BT3900 and still doesn't work.
Tried with another BT800 and the same result.
Everything works but not the mic.
I bought the Motorola HS850 yesterday and it has arrived at 930am thanks to www.i2020.co.uk
Took it out the box, charged it for an hour (not the recommended two), went into bluetooth manager and created a new headset connection.
Within 60 seconds I now have a perfectly working bluetooth device. Just called a friend and they didn't even know I was on a bluetooth headset.
A big THUMBS DOWN :evil: for the Jabra models and a big THUMBS UP for the Motorola models!
Thanks all for your input.

I'd like to but my one is a Telecom Harrier. I just can't find the way to update to 1.40 on my device.
Telecom Harrier is a CDMA/EVDO version and it doesn't use SIM Cards. No WiFi too...
:x
I logged into www.clubimate.com and tried to register but it says my ESN number is either invalid or already been registered.

I downloaded and installed it. But it ain't working...!!!!!!! doh!!!!! :evil:
I will try re-pairing the device and see how it goes.
I deleted the profile and re-paired it but it ain't working.
It pairs alright and I can hear others talking but they can't hear me.
It might be my handset or the headset with mic faulty.
I will go get another one and try. If it still doesn't with my harrier, I will just wait and seek for a new model.
Thanks a lot for your help dude.
Hi,
just got the new Motorola HS 850, till now works great.
Sound is good, very little echo.
Using ROM 1.40 and Radio 1.13
On my carkit (Bluetooth Lintech for Cark-91) a lot of echo.
So far so good.
Regards,
Max
I've used both the Logitech Mobile Freedom and their Mobile Pro headsets with no problems.
Personally, I prefer the Mobile Pro because the ear clip mechanism allows you to clip the headset to a shirt.
i have the hbh 660 and it works great. you can even see who is calling you on the lcd of the headset... ooooh yeah
I use this one....
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=6402429860&rd=1&sspagename=STRK:MEWN:IT&rd=1
and its A PILE OF PANTS!!!!!!!!!!!
I get one call out of it and then anything after it asks for the pin, which when entered does sod all. The amount of times I've nearly crashed in a blind rage with this useless piece of equipement....
....Anyone know of anything that might fix this????? Or is it a lost cause???
Cheers

Hi! I have Motorola HT 820 - this device work fine (Stereo headset, handsfree)
wireless modem applet fixes BT sound quality
On my SX-66, I have found that if I connect the Jabra BT200 and activate it (press the pickup/hangup button so the PDA sound is in the headset), then run the Wireless Modem applet (\Windows\WModem.exe), "Start" a connection, then exit the applet with the "ok" button, the sound quality will magically correct itself!
This confirms to me that the sound quality problem is a software issue. Every BT headset would work if whatever the Wireless Modem applet does was integrated into the connection routine.
This is not a great workaround because it take about 1 hour to prepare for a phone call :roll: as the wireless resets and is stubborn about reconnecting. It isn't just the reset that fixes the problem because just reseting the wireless has never helped my sound quality problems.
For now, it is best to buy a headset that already works, but there is hope that in the future all BT handsfree devices may work correctly.

PDA2K & BT Mobidick elegance handsfree - problem

The problem is that on the another side person can't hear me.
The pairing was success, I can reject/accept calls, I can hear clearly the person who I'm talking with, but he can't hear me at all!
I checked the handsfree with my siemens S55 it works well with it.
The bluetooth software is: BT-PPC/PE Version 1.0.0 Build 3900
Does anybody knows why it doesn't work?
