Hello, i recently purchased a THBbury car kit for my xda IIs. I fitted it to my car and tested it out everything worked fiine. The next time i went to use it the person ringing me couldn't hear me at all. I checked all my wiring and its fine but the microphone still aint working. I assumed it was a faulty mic so i purchased another mic but this didnt solve the problem.
Has anyone else had this problem, any ideas would be greatly appreciated, could it be a software issue or is it a hardware issue.
Many thanks in advance

can anyone help with the following.....my mic will not work with any apps., ie...notes, fonix etc....but using the phone it works perfectly......so i assume that its not a hardware issue...i was using ser 1.2 when it occured, so i then flashed with a cooked rom from jeffs kitchen....but to no avail.....please..please help....its doing my head in!
I'm sorry to say that it may well be a hardware issue after all: from what we know the microphone and speaker connect to both the phone and the PDA part seperately. If you flashed a whole new ROM and still have the problem, this would tend to indicate that the unit is broken.
is it possible that the fault lies with the mic jack......?
i should also mentiom that this occured several days after getting a car kit.....and i read in a post that the connector is not to robust......

Nothing is impossible, but I would think that would cause the mic to fail for both PDA and phone. But you can try fiddling with the connectors. Try to see if there's any metallic dust at the large connector, and try gently inserting and pulling the headphone a few times.
It could also be that a surge from the carkit blew the mic-amplifier to the PDA.
Sucks...
i also noticed that in the car kit...the remote mic can be used by all apps...ie..i can record a voice note using the car kit.....so how does the car kit mic replace the local mic......

it would appear that the xda mic is permanently in car kit mode...ie there is a problem with pin 1 on the connector........if this is the case......how easy...is it to repair....if at all....whats involved....[i know this is a dificult question to answer]...and is there a way to defanitely confirm this....eg...if i try using the mic on the supplied earpiece, and it works with all apps?
Hi
Can anybody confirm if sound is wired into the main connector, I currently plug into the headphone / microphone jack plug to get TomTom sounds in the car, but it would be much more convenient to insert just one connector instead of two.
Has the connector wiring diagram been published anywhere?
Cheers
Justin
oops
I have just found it
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/Connectors
Justin
Good luck!
Hi
The wiring diagram from
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/Connectors is incorrect for the Himalya.
I only managed to get sound from one channel, and grounding pin 19 did not switch off the internal speaker.
Does anybody know of another source of the pinout for the connector.
I could buy a http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=108730 but that seems expensive.
Cheers
Justin
Justin,
More than one source confirmed the pinout of the connector is correct for the Himalaya.
Are you sure you did not get thing wrong?
Maybe some other threads (key word "carkit" or "car kit") are of interest for you.
YES sound is fed to the bottom connector
BUT dependent of who you speak with (ie which rom theyre using):
- all sound (both in-call phone and pda)
- in-call phone only
Unfortunately my carkit (O2 XDA II as sold by Expansys) only let me hear in-call phone sound. My rom is the T-Mobile 1.60.00 (1.60.36 ext rom).
Hi edsub
After posting I read about the problem with sound only comming out of the bottom connector when In a call, I didn't try this. Hopefully a later ROM will fix this issue. Until then I will use the headset jack plug.
Cheers
Justin

I have the same problem with the original CarKit of the XDA I.
So this could be a general problem....

I used to have stereo from the bottomconnector from my XDA 1, but not from my MDA 2...
As far as imknow Edsub is correct, only in-call audio works for now with most ROM's...
Getting all-audio through the speakers seems to be a rare story...
@johan: It sure is a rare story. Especially from the stories that seem to imply that one it getting all sound thru the bottom connector, I only got feedback from one person that claimed this was the case for rom 1.60.00 in combination with the T-Mobile MDAII carkit.
Which makes it even stranger because that same rom is the one I am using (and only having in-call phone audio) . . .

Rare (Eng.) = Zeldzaam (NL.) :roll:
I only read one story of a guy who said Tomtom work through the speaker, i'm afraid the was another mixup about waht speaker. The internal one or not....
According to Mocki on www.ppc-welt.info two pins are important:
pin19 should be grounded
pin9 should be UNconnected
This situation makes the T-Mobile carkit behave like wished:
When there is sound output (no matter what source):
1. radio is muted
2. sound goes via bottom connector to carkit-speakers (or car-audio line-in)
Does anyone know how pin 9 is connected inside the O2 XDAII carkit???
Help - can see any of it!
Hi
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/Connectors just gives me XML/XSL errors, and I cant speak German - really could do with a wiring diagram for the bottom connector.
I have Carcomm car cradles, Nokia Bluetooth car kits (kinda of works now) and a very neat bluetooth head set. I want the cradle to send audio to an aux input on the car stereo so I can play MP3's from the 512 SD card I just got!!
I can drill a hole in the bottom of the carcomm and attach a 3.5mm jack but it would be much better if I could use the connector
Ta!!

Wiring for bottom connector
Hii
Thanks for that - something to do this weekend now!!
:lol:
JB
Hi
If that works it will be great, I'm not going to try it until someone else confirms it works as I need to get a hardware guy to do the soldering for me.
So if any of you are going to try it, please remember to post back here.
Cheers

Very Good but .......
I always soft reset the pda before I get to the car - seems to guarantee connectivity with no problems!
...Spence
Used it with Eten M500, XDAIIs, XDAII and Motorola MPx220 Smartphone with lots of different GPS software.
Yep, I've just got mine working today. No echo on calls at either end, GPS works fine..... I'm happy
Has anyone found a bluetooth car kit for the XDA IIs that has half way decent sound quality? I'm on my second PARROTT kit and the quality is not good!
Looking for some recommendations or others user experiences with XDA IIs kits.
I havea similar issue...just got a QTEK 9090 in the form of a Vodafone1620....tried it with my existing Nokia BT HF Kit. Works great for me but callers are complaining about a very bad echo.
Bad Echo with Hands Free Kit
I have the same problem. I am on my second Blue Angel. One was a Qtek 9090 and I now have an XDA IIs. Both have a very bad echo when using it with a Nokia CK-7W bluetooth car kit, so much so that I now use a Bluetooth earpiece in the car.
I assume it is the Blue Angel that has the problem and not the car kit because my Nokia 6060 had no problem.
Car Kit
I use the Sony Ericson BT car kit and the sound quality is very good - no echos'a at all.
BT carkit for Blue Angel
So is the Sony Ericsson the best for sound recevied both by the caller and the receiver? anyone else tried this? I dont want to start a collection of bluetooth carkits if I can help it :lol:
Was this a professional install? Any particular Sony BT model?
Many thanks
BT car Kit
I'm using the Sony Ericson HCB-300 car kit.
I installed it myself.
It gets a bit of noise from the car at high speed :twisted: , but that's my car - not the car kit.
If I can throw in my uninformed two penn'rth: I own a Nissan which has bluetooth hands free through the radio/CD player. It pairs with my XDA2 but doesn't make or receive calls through it. It pairs with my old Sony Erricson 68i and works perfectly, with excellent sound at both ends of the call. If you are getting an echo, it is very likely that the hands free is not disconnecting the mic on the phone, so you are then getting feedback. A simple test would be to obscure the mic on the phone and try again. Won't solve the problem, but will at least show what's causing it.

I have htc prophet, G4, in edition of swisscom xpa s200.
My problem is that I can't talk, because of microphone and front speaker went dead, I don't know how, I think although that it's not about audio chip because my rear speaker is working, it is ringing when somebody is calling me but when I answer we can't talk, and when I try play something with mediaplayer it's not working, I tried another radio and win rom's, and nothing changed, I can talk with headset and I think that it's impossible that mic. and front speaker went dead together... Please help me !!! Thank You.
Fixed! Audio port was fault.
Same problem....
Please help me too!!!! How fix it??
Me too, same problem.
I have exactly the same problem with front side speaker ind mic as described above. What does "audio port was fault" mean, and how can I fix it?
BR,
RF
what do you mean with this sentence, when you answered on the topic "Please help!!! Problem with mic. and front speaker on G4 prophet" ?
"Fixed! Audio port was fault."
I have the same problem on my qtek S200. Is this a hardware problem??
thaks
My problem solved from here
http://www.mikechannon.net/page1.html
mike channon's site is very helpful.
It it easy, no tools needed. Take your 2.5mm headset, plug it in & out, do that for about 2 min(in&out, in&out). Contact in the audio port is stuck so phone "register" that headset or headphone are connected, but they are not. That is the reason you dont hear anything.
it works
thanks man it works
after my dopod 818 pro'speaker was dead for a long time
No problem, here to help.
