i'm using I-tech with no problem on WM6.1
I don't know the solution, but I know the problem.
I red about it before, and I have red the solution, but because I don't use such configuration, I didn't took notice of it.
In general, you need some additional software and/or regsettings to redirect the sound. Best thing to do is to use the "search" option in the top-bar of this forum.
Succes!
I´m using the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS980 on my prophet and it is working just great. Excellent soundquality.

Hello buddy, first you have to tell people which particular ROM version and phone and include the radio version that you are using before someone can give you a proper answer. I am using the same SonyEricsson BT and iTech BT and they are all OK. NO BLUETOOTH give you good stereo quality as wired ones. I have many BT headsets and my BT headsets cost are as much as I have paid for my phones.
Now, back to your problem. Flash a ROM, any WM6 ROM. There are quite a few good chefs here, Cloudyfa, Korand, Swiftblade, Gullum ..... just to name a few in random orders.
Before you load any other applications, test out your Wifi, Bluetooth, GPRS and Dialer. If you found you got problem with BT switch to another WM6 ROM. If you tried two to three WM6 ROM and still got the BT problem, you may have a hardware problem. Only the salesman in the local phone store can help you then. If you found BT is not a problem then go back to your WM6.1 ROM. If you have a problem then, nothing you can do except report to the chef and wait for next revision. Meantime, you may try different one even that may not be your favorite choice. Each person has difference preference. This is Prophet forum, you are lucky, there are so many chefs and so many ROM's you can choose from. If you are like me, also have an AtomExec, there is only one cook for it in this whole world for WM6.1 WWE, two cooks for WM6 and none of the existing ROM's are without a serious bug. The phone company was taken over and support is nil. If you are angry, that is to yourself. Who told you to buy a PDA phones. Just like most my friend just get an ordinary (free) cheap phone and use it as a "phone". I hardly heard they have any complaints and obvious they have gain a lot more sleeping hours than I. It is now 3:15 AM my time, and I am still looking for a holy grail (more than one) for my WM6.x phones!
Hi,
Have the same issue with while connecting the phone to my car with BT.
It was perfectly working while on Windows Mobile 2005. The first ROM based on WM 6.0 (Mr Cloudyfa has cooked that rom but I cannot remember the reference) was also working perfectly.
Then I tested Transformer 1.1 and I started having some random issues: Sometimes, phone was not switching the sound on the car (in and out), sometimes it was working quite good.
I recently updated to Hma4 Crystal 5.1, Mr Cloudyfa Shadow 2.0 TE and Korand 3.1 and systematically sound is not switching on the car. On all the tests I made, I had only the chance to have a proper conversation twice
Anyone else's In call volume very low? even though its on maximum volume? I cant seem to hear very well unless I put the phone on loudspeaker. any ideas on this one?
cheers
Yup. I am on .14 and it is awful. I hear the .16 update fixes it though. There are so many good things about this phone that I couldnt care less about this issue though at the moment.
Nope. I have .16 and it's just as bad.

Cheers mate, I was just about to follow the debranding tutorial to update to 1.6 to improve my In- Call volume.
I have also heard that 1.6 offers an improvement in this area.

I'm actually thinking of unbranding my phone just because I can. But it's just to get rid of like one or two pre-installed programs.
i am on firmware 1.6 and it doesnt solve anything, its really really bad! the volume is ridiculous I can hardly hear anyone unless I go into a room where theres no noise at all! SE need to fix this
volume at max is not even iphone at half
Volume is terrible, i keep squeezing the phone into my ear.... what i don't understand is who ever listened to the phone and said ooooh this is good, how is he not FIRED
if this phone ever gets released in the US with the same problem i am complaining to the FCC. it seems someone to do something about it, (remember what happened to Toyota?)
I honestly dont think a firmware can increase/fix the volume issue, i honetly think the speaker is at its limits, i even hear distortion some times, telling me my volume way to loud for the speaker capacity, although i can BARLEY hear something.
Terrible
Yea, I cant say that the volume is loud, but I found out a solution that works for me.
Actually the screen seems to pick up the vibrations from the speaker, so if you instead of holding your ear against the speaker move your ear slightly down so that you actually have your ear on the top part of the screen instead... then the volume is much better!!
Just a tip.
And for SE: I noticed that only the higher pitched frequencies causes distort in the small speaker. Analyze the speaker and identify which frequencies that causes distortion and filter those frequencies out. Sacrifice those frequencies for a louder volume!
Regards // R
I read somewhere that they put the phone in test mode and forced the volume higher and worked.
Which would mean the hardware is capable of higher volume its just bad software.
This issue bugs me big time, and I'm quite dissapointed :-/
Any news on SonyEricsson solving this issue?
I've read that the X10 mini does have a much better loudspeaker. How can this be when it's an even smaller phone?
I strongly(!) hope that SE will fix it! A phone that is useless for phone calls? Than I can buy an iPod touch :-(
there is a 'volume hack' app but works only for rooted devices.
same problem..can hardly hear when on the street or in public place.
i enable speaker..and keep the loudspeaker near my ear.

Personaly I don't think that this is the way you have to make calls with a top of the line smartphone ;-)
Does anybody know if Sonyericsson is aware of this low volume issue?
Do they want to adress this issue with a soft- or hardwarefix?
Hopefully the update will come soon

i cant believe it.
i dont know why would they make an android phone when they dont even know whats it like?
X10 = lots of problem + lack of hope and many anger users around the world
Yes there are many problems with X10, i think X10 problems will be solved soon after the update 2.1 let us hope for the best
i use the speaker all the time
i hate SE

Actually, the number of problems is far, far, far, far, faaaaaaar less than you think it is. Being on a board for people needing technical support for their phones will make you think there's a lot more anger and problems than there really are. It's the nature of the internet.
Think about it, if there were really that many shopstopping problems, the phone would have gone through a recall by now. You can't let this forum (or any other tech support forum) give you any sort of indication of percentage of users with problems.
Same problem here... German o2 X10i (R2BA026). Speaker volume set to max. but still can't hear the other side It's a shame...
EDIT: oops... have to change my Avatar and Signature Hihi

Looks like coming from se and not one of forum users. I am not worried as i know it will be taken care of now as it has been launched in us.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Hi all, I just bought an MW600 (from AccessoryJack.com as gave up waiting for them to get released in the UK!) which got shipped from Hong Kong.
All working perfectly, really impressed with the sound quality and paired dead easily with my X10 and my laptop as well, will come in handy for Skype
Only issue I have is that the documentation states that the MW600 should display the track details when playing back. I've not found any instructions on disabling it so assume they should always show but they aren't ??
When I get a call the phone number displays fine and the other icons (volume, etc) all show fine so I know the screen is ok on it.
Have emailed Sony Ericsson support about it but just wondered if anyone on here has experience with them and can confirm that track details should show up as advertised ?? (I have checked and the mp3s are tagged up fine, etc and show the details in Windows fine and on the X10 itself).
The MW600 will not show the tags in combination with the #xperia! Sry... But i think SE has made a HUGE mistake with that...

I may be wrong, but I thought I read it does, but not when using Mediascape. Have you tried a different music player to see?
I tried many Players, it will don't work.

Yep I've tried a fair few players (Mediascape, 3Player, NutSie Itunes player, Google Listen) and none give track details.
A bit annoying as it states it does show them in all the literature!
As mentioned in my original post have emailed SE support so will see what they have to say.
I think this is an Android limitation, given that my magic also didnt display Track names ...
this is actually a limitation of the android 1.6 bluetooth stack, so it wont work with the X10. i think it is supported in 2.1 but it's up to the app to support it as well. it works with my W995
It doesn't show tracks on the HTC Desire either which I expected, but I would have expected them to work fine with the X10.....
Is there radio in MW600?? and if how do i turn it on??
1 Press and hold down PLAY until the audio device selection menu appears.
2 Use the touch volume control to select the FM radio. The FM radio is automatically
started.
This is all a bit annoying, having just ordered a MW600 myself... I just hope it will be fixed in the 2.x update later on in the year.
Does this happen with anyone else? If you put the phone on vibrate and you're listening to music if you get a text the music just stops but if you have the phone on vibrate you would hear the text ringtone from phone and the mw600. Is this just another problem due to andriod 1.6? All my SE phones plays ringtones while on vibrate.
i accidentally charged my x10 with my mw600 charger. It still worked but I rather just keep one charger instead constantly swapping. The x10 charger might have a higher output than the mw600 one. So would it be safe using the mw600 on the X10?
Confirmation that all of the MW600 features don't work with our lovely X10's

Reply back finally! Not good news, heads up for anyone thinking of buying the MW600 to use with the X10 (like I did):
"
Thank you for contacting the Sony Ericsson support centre regarding your Sony Ericsson MW600 headset.
We can confirm that the Sony Ericsson MW600 headset does not show track details.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
Kind Regards,

I have asked if there are any plans for any updates to the X10 to do this but not holding my breath! Oh well £39.99 for an accessory that only half works (even though it's in all the official adverts, etc), marvellous!
Hi all! How do you consider the volume level with MW600? At max is it high or not?
Thanks!

I have no complaints with the sound volume or quality with the MW600's on my X10. I don;t use the bundled headphones though, use a different pair of Sony inner ear headphones I bought, as that may make a difference maybe too but having the volume over about 2/3 is loud and on full it proper blasts out
SE UK support confirm that MW600 will not fully work with X10

Heard back again, not sounding good with regards the MW600's being ever fully functional (ie. show track listing info. and time, etc. when hooked up to the X10, or any Android phone for that matter!) :
Dear Charles,
Thank you for contacting the Sony Ericsson support centre regarding your Sony Ericsson MW600.
We can advise that the MW600 device does show track listings on a Java based handset. But that service is not compatible with Android software hence it will not work when connected to the X10 handset.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Sony Ericsson UK Customer Services

I've got a X10 and a MW-600 headset myself, and I also contacted the support (Dutch) today. Im awaiting the reply.
In the meantime, I find it hard to believe that SE would make a huge f*ck up like this, and that an issue like this can't be fixed with an update of an extra app.
We'll just wait the response.
Before anyone starts blaming SE for all this, it is really Google's fault.
For some strange reason, Google decided not to develop the Android's OS to fully implement bluetooth functions. Hence, you can't use your bluetooth headset to voice dial. Something that is so common even with dumbphones. Even Android 2.1 does not do that.
I really don't understand Google's decision on this. It is not that hard to do. Just buy someone else's bluetooth license.
Allright, thanks for clarifying that.
Speaking to my sister yesterday she has an O2 sony Xperia Z2 she's had on an upgrade and it keeps rebooting and resetting itself and won't connect to her car's bluetooth, she's a bit miffed because she's now passed the 2wk return the handset option so she's gotta keep the phone, its running android 4.2.2.
I have a HTC and root and run custom roms but not familiar with Sony at all, thinking about looking into it and rooting her phone for her if it might help with the issue's she has, is it fairly easy ?
And does anyone know if the bluetooth thing is fairly common issue ? and can be rectified with a custom rom...
Cheers

its common because sony had a big manufacturing issue with the release of Z2
any issues with the phone should be covered by sony if you have reset the phone
try downloading sony pc companion to your computer
onces thats done go to support zone, and click repair device
from there on folow the instructions
if the device still persists with this problem, Contact sony Support as All Xperia devices come with a 2 year warrenty
My headset doesn't work properly since I've updated to Marshmallow, the right side earbud is completely silent. The weird thing is that it works properly on my other devices (laptop, ipod) !
And of course all my other headsets are also working fine on my Z2, problem is only with the combo MDR-NC31EM+Z2.
I'm on eXistenZ Marshmallow v5.1.0 LB but I am pretty sure it's a Sony software problem .
I tried to clear data/cache for Smart connect, no luck...
Any idea or solution to solve the issue is more than welcome
Cheers !
i use the same headset and i have no problem
Ok, on stock 291 ?
Maybe it's hardware after all, I'm not sure anymore ! Thing is I found several threads on Sonymobile forum with users complaining about the same issue, always the right earbud...
This stupid thing works everywhere except on my phone , I'm kinda lost...
