Hi, a few days ago I noticed the headset icon in my Xperia X10's task bar, even though no headset or headphones were plugged in. Turn off/on proved to no avail.
Everything else in the phone functions normal, and if I do plug in earphones, they still work.
The problem is really that if I call someone, I must use earphones in order to hear them, because the phone is trying to output the audio through the apparent headset.
If anyone has experienced this before, or knows of any possible solution, any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
When I phone someone, on the dialer, there is a button for speakerphone....make sure that is unchecked and that one the dialer screen is off.
Is Bluetooth on? Add the Power Control Widget on the homescreen....uncheck the bluetooth box
If you open Settings->Applications and take a look at what apps are running.....what is there?
Are there any apps that have anything to do with a music app or something?
thanks for your help beau420, but I now believe it is a hardware problem, after a minute of fiddling with inserting and removing earphones, I managed to make the phone realize nothing was plugged in, and hopefully have now solved the problem

Ok i just bought this headset and I must say it is really great and everything works.
it has in ear headphones it is really great the sound is great. all the buttons work so no problem.
what i liked about this headset was when someone calls you you see the caller on the screen so you know who calls you. it has a mic on the cord so you can talk with the headset. u can change songs and adjust the volume. the volume is not the phone volume but the headset volume.
First Connection:
I turned the headset on and it wanted to sync with a phone. On the hero i searched for bluetooth devices and found the headset, i Clicked on it. it connected without any problem.
Issues:
I only have one problem when i listen to music it lags sometimes. i don't know if it comes from the headset or from hero. I thought when the screen goes to standby the bleutooth doesn't work 100% to save battery but i'm not sure. If someone knows what the problem can be please let me know how to fix it. maybe its with most bluetooth headsets, if someone uses bluethoot headset without a music lag please let it know.
Battery Life:
I received my headset today so for now i can't tell much about the battery life. i used it today a little bit. the battery life today was great. i started using my phone at 8 Am the battery was fully charged. i made some calls total 15 minuts. i used 3g to surf the internet for 1 hour, i played some games it also total time of 1 hour, i connected the headset with the phone it was connected for 4 a 5 hours with 45 minuts music listening. the battery showed 15% at 3Am so i used my phone for 19 Hours and then it showd 15% battery life. i think that this is amazing. i will let you know when i tested it with full day connected with the headset but for now you have to do with this.

I have this same SE headset but it does not pair with my Hero (white unlocked) when I do a scan it wouldn't show up at all on the phone. I've tried the new update from Modaco, no joy.
The phone can see & pair with a regular headset (not stereo) and also with a couple of phones (iphone 3GS/SEw910).
Any ideas?
Thanks
When you wan't to connect the headset make sure that the headset shows the sync icon. it is the icon where the headset is shown and then sync icon and the phone icon. if this shows up you will be able to sync it with the phone. to get it in this state you have to hold the on/off switch till you see the sync icon.
I have the Brown HERO with modaco 2.0 rom. i didn't had any issue's with connecting

Yes! that did it, I just didn't had to do that before with my MDA Vario2. Thank you very much. By the way, I don't have any problems with the sound skipping or lagging which was present on the MDA but there was a fix/tweak for that.
One thing, there is no headset icon in the notification bar like when you plug in a wired headset, is this normal?
Yes i don't have the icon either. but the bluetooth shows conncted. if you change the volume on the phone you will see the headset and bluetooth icon.
i foud what was cousig the lag, the background proceses are the reason when you close everythin with taskkiller it will work. the lag comes when its checking mail or when i recieve a sms.
maybe overclocking will fix this issue but i dont want to do that (bad experiance).

I used to have stutter problems when connected to my car stereo via bluetooth.
It was caused by the wifi being on. Switching it off removed stutter.
My wireless is always off when i leave home, maybe the first day the wireless was one and then where there so many lags. but now when i'm listning there arent so many lags anymore.
Like i sayd it its happends if you run other processes. i hope this will be fixed in android 2.0
do you know how can i open this BT headset to change the battery??
Bluetooth Headset HBH DS970
I have had my bluetooth headset plugged in for hours and the red LED IS ON. It is my understanding that after fully charged the LED will go out. The LED Will not go out when I have it charging. I have attempted to pair the headset but when I hold the power on button the LED never flashes blue.....any ideas?
Has anyone had any issues when using both the cardock and a headset? I received both for Christmas and the behavior of the phone seems inconsistent. Once I have paired my phone and put it into the dock, I have inconsistent issues with
1) Using the "Calling" button to make calls
2) Long-press on my headset (Jawbone Icon) doesn't actually pull up the voice commands prompt
3) Voice search won't enable.
Also, when I take my phone out of the dock, sometimes I have to really work at getting back to my default homescreen and out of the Car Dock. Numerous back, home, screen offs, to get it to go back.
I've never used either the dock or a headset before, so I might be missing something basic. Any help is appreciated.
I have the dock and connect to my Stereo via BT with no issues. yea, sometimes it takes a few seconds for the phone to realize it is no longer in the dock and go back to my home screen, but I find that if I just dont touch anything once pulling it out it switches on its own faster.
as to your bt issues... never had them. by bt's only flaw is that every once in a while it unconnects from my stereo and I have to reconnect.
also what ROM are you using? Locked or unlocked?
The last couple weeks my phone has started to do this weird thing it has never done before. I plug my Vibrant into my car's head unit using a 1/8 inch to 1/8 inch audio patch cable. Whenever I remove the plug from the phone, the slider for "Media Volume" is overlayed on the screen and quickly drops to '0'. I have to pull up my mixer every time I get in the car and bring the slider back up to '15'.
I've had similar issues with the phone in the past, where plugging in will automatically start the music app, but there are several headset blocker apps that work fine and prevent that. These apps have no impact on the present issue, though. Anyone have any idea how to stop this?
I've seen a lot of mention of a "mute bug" in various roms. A search for that, or maybe "unmute bug", should provide some info.
This might help:

anybody come across this problem? first off I noticed my earpiece wasnt working and was looking to buy another as I thought it had gone faulty, then I discovered music or other sounds wouldn't play through the speaker (although ringtones and sms notifications do) and then my skip/answer calls button on my headphones wont work even though I can hear music through them, when I check liveware manager it shows headphone connected even with nothing in! I have done a reflash through seus but its still the same, even dismantled my phone and removed the head phone jack but it stayed the same! anybody got anymore tips?
I just purchased a bluetooth headset (LG HBS700) and now Im having a stuttering issue when notifications come in.
I never had this until i connected the headset. If the screen is on the notification is fine and plays normally, but when i have the phone in my pocket with the screen off it happens. I have tried switching notification tones as well as switching to a different ROM and the problem is still there.
Has anyone else had this happen to them or know of a way to fix it?
I had a similar issue with TuneIn radio. Listening over WiFi was fine while the screen was on, but the music stuttered when the screen shut off. Seems like it limits the amount of power received to that particular radio but not sure. I don't have my phone on me but are there any power saving features for Bluetooth that can be altered?
Thanks for the response. I think you misunderstood tho.
Its NOT the sound coming from the bluetooth device that is the problem, it is the notifications coming from the phone. ie when i get a txt msg or an email, when my phone is alerting me.
