Hi all....
I have had the above stereo BT headphones for about 1 month which I use with my Vario 2 and I have to say the sound quality is awesome.
My questions are (to anybody who has this combination or similar):-
- Why when you answer a call and then finish the call (through the headphones) does it sometimes resume the music through the loudspeaker on the phone rather than the headphones ? I find its really inconsistent...sometimes back through the headphones and other times through the Vario's loudspeaker ????
- Also when I go to answer a call (that is ringing through my headphones) the voice comes through on the Vario rather than my headphones ??? Again...seems to be inconsistent and I'm sure I'm not doing anything differently??
- Is anybody else experiencing similar problems with this combination
It seems that the above problems I'm experiencing might have the same root cause and I need to know if I'm doing something wrong or whether its a 'compatibility' issue between the two. I don't have this problem with the Samsung X830 I use with the DS-970's .
I'd be so grateful for any clarification on these issues....
Thanks all

Well, I wouldn't be in as deep of a trouble if this were my phone... But I suggested the Mini to my GF.
Anyway, she was using headset earlier today and after she removed the headset, the phone is stuck in headset mode. Meaning no voice coming thru the phone's earpiece on both incoming and outgoing calls. She tried the headset again and voice is coming thru headset without problem, but once removed, it's still stuck. How do I get the phone out of headset mode please???? Anyone has similar problem before??? Please help!!!

hey hi ,
There are many ways of fixing this -
1)softreset
2)turn bluetooth off! if you are talking about bluetooth headset
3)where it says enable bluetooth headset on today screen - disable it
These might help you!

The socket has probably jammed internally, try insert pull out a few times making sure you pull sharply when removing, if this fails try inserting something slightly smaller and jiggling it about. I have also used a tiny squirt of WD40 which is like an easing oil for rusted or obstinate nuts/bolts/screws, also you can buy a spray called switchgear which is used for electronic components such as volume sliders/switches etc when they become sticky and operate intermittently. This is a well known problem on the xda 2.
Thanks guys, it's not BT and this is after many soft-reset I'll give WD-40 a shot. Thanks again!
I've got exactly the same problem here. My phone is bonded to a BT headset. Forgot to bring the headset and found that no sound, or extremely small volume, was coming out from the phone. Tried soft reset, deleting the bond etc. none of it works.
Would be interested in knowing what's the real underlying cause if anyone finds it out.
Hey Solitary, I'm in HK as well and I think it's a hardward rather than software issue. Coz. if I pull the headset, the normal clicking sounds can be heard from the phone, just not during voice calls, I think the earphone on the phone is somehow dead, looks to me like cold soldering
I'm calling O2 in the morning and demand an exchange, my GF only had this phone since 1/9 and besides this, on the unit we have, the voice quailty is also bad too
Hi, CL55,
You might want to read this:
http://www.coolsmartphone.com/index.php?option=articles&task=viewarticle&artid=58&Itemid=3
It seems it is an old and common problem for smartphones.
I've also read in a Taiwan forum that they have got exactly the same problem in Taiwan for the Dopod818.
But I wonder if it is hardware related. My problem is that I'm stuck in a BT headset mode, and I'd never touched the hardware headset socket. So either I have a different problem than yours or else it seems it's more likely a software problem.
Anyway, do tell us if you manage to solve it.
Can you confirm if you can hear the clicking sound from the buildin speaker now? Only no voice from the earphone, or no clicking sound from the buildin speaker as well? I really suspect I have a different problem
Yes I can hear all other sounds from the speaker loud and clear, except for talking over the phone.
So it seems I've got a BT software (or my BT phone hardware) problem but you've got a Mini hardware problem.
I was listening to some music through my headphones on my jam and I got a call, so i pulled the headphones out of the jack. Once i did that no sound would come out of the speakers, not even after many soft resets. I could still hear sound when i put my headphones back in, but nothing when i took them out. Then i tried making a call and pulling the headphones out of the jack while in the call and that fixed it. It must put the hardware in some bad state if you pull headphones out when there's a call?
i had this problem to but i've fixed it! hard resets doesn't seem to work so i pulled the battery out for a night and my speaker was working again try it!
Hi,
I am using O2 xda mini s, and i just bought a sony ericson HBH-DS970 stereo bluetooth earphones.
I am using WM6 Xplorer Rom and radio version 02.25.11.
Currently I am a bit frustrated with my bluetooth earphone as the quality is very poor eventhough I read that the quality of the sound if used with other bluetooth handphone / pocket PC is superb.
I have ben searching this forum to either tweaks the registry or any patch to improve the sound but currently I'm still lost. I found one old post (WM5) which guide us to tweaks -> HKLM/software/microsoft/bluetooth/a2dp/settings....
but my problem is that there is no settings folder under my a2dp, there are 4 folder with label 1,2,3,4.
Are there any way i can improve the sound quality???
will changing the radio rom affect the quality of bluetooth reception??
Please enlighten me..
Thanks

Try the settings from cduncan...
If there is no registry entry, you will have to manually put them.
You can change the bitpool setting for quality of music.
HTH
Cheers Sids,
I have already do as you said... previously went to that post but feel lost, and since the thread have over 100 pages, therefore i feel inappropriate to ask you or duncan.
One more thing though, can i ask you what is your personal preference on those settings?? I cant put a lot of bass, because it will sound terrible, like broken speaker.. what todo??
cheers mate
p/s My problem is that the quality of the sound that coming out of my BT earphone is just poor (although others are highly recommending this DS970). I have no problem with pairing it with my wizard or the playback.
I have play around with the BitPool and the only difference that I notice was the volume level, not the sound quality. any advice??
One more thing, is the selection of Radio Rom have any effect to the quality of the bluetooth signal i.e. to the output in my BT earphone??? Help...
Thanks again
Hi,
I cant say about your BT headsets. But I confirmed these things - Updated firmware from the manufacturer (Jabra for me) and the quality with other A2DP enabled (maybe nokia/SE) phone.
I have set my bitpool setting to 60 which is Farias default, but he placed the reg entry in AD2P folder instead of A2DP by mistake.
I am using equalizer settings with TCPMP for the nice sound, which I dont get with Windows Media Player. Maybe you could try that out.
Even after those settings and tweakings, I dont think BT headsets can replace wired headsets for an audiophile. You will only just get passable sound quality. Maybe its got to do with bandwidth that BT provides.
Lastly, I may be wrong, but Radio roms are only used for GSM radio. Its got nothing to do with BT.
Gurus, please correct me if I am wrong anywhere.

I'm using faria ROM Real Thing and using Oakley OROKR as my bluetooth stereo. But I have unusual problem. When I listen MP3 from pocket music 4.3.4 my OROKR produced a lag sound. Sometimes the sound was disapeared and suddenly back to normal again (with lag of course). I have try my OROKR with my PALM Treo 650 using A2DP s/w it's produced same quality like my MDA. Is this happen cause the registry setting or my OROKR problem? Help me?
PS: If I used OROKR to call it's 100% normal
For what it's worth, i have tested my plantronics pulsar 590a (bt ver2) with other htc devices with bluetooth ver 2 and audio was excellent. the wizard only has bt ver 1.2 and that is maybe where sound quality is lost. just a thought...
did you buy the headphones on ebay? Got mine on ebay and I was very disappointed with the sound quality. i checked online and, for my surprised, i discovered that what I got from ebay was a cheap fake. I bought a new set from sony shop and voila, they work perfect. Sound is amazing..with the SE k800i i am using from time to time. Couldnt get them to worjk with my xda2i tho
Hi guys!
I am a little confused by all the names this little phone is called, so i hope this is correct thread.
I can connect the headset and listen to music using WMP. I can answer a call while i´m still listening to music(it pauses), but when it switches back to the player the sound is gone. All calls works but I can´t listen to my WMP. After a soft or hard reset i work again, until it rings again.
I´m using the tornado patch posted by kyunga and khuanchai(.reg import)
If someone know anything, please tell me...

I have a ds-970, and I have tested motorola and nextlink spider bluetooth stereo headsets. The problem you are experiencing is specific to the ds970, moto and nextlink automaticallys switch back to wireless stereo after call. w/ ds970, only thing that I have found to fix this is to manually activate wireless stereo (comm manager, bluetooth settings) after a call. yeah, that is a pain.
Thanks for the info. Well, I was hoping that there would be some sort of adjustment in the .reg department.
You just can´t win em all.....
Edit: I found a solution... I tried Crossbow_Reloaded(WM6) and now it´s working... The sound is a little bit distorted in the upper freq. range though, but hey...you just can´t win em all
at the same time.
Like I play a movie on TCPMP or some song in Windows Media, and I can hear the sound on my head set + on the speakerphone.
What's the point in listening to music with the headset when anyone can hear it.
Anyone experienced this problem and/or know the solution?
Thanks.
I have the same problem, can anybody know how to solve it?
I already try hardreset without success . Another think, if I restart the phone the bug disapear (for a time), but come back if I receive call or sms.
Any idea??
May be you must played with another player. I use Core Player and haven't problems with normal and BT headsets. Here link. Try it
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=17498&view=sit
Thank, I try with CorePlayer adn TCMP already, but always same fu****g bug, I think it's an OS bug, when I receive call or sms the sound start coming out from the speaker! :'( I'm desesperate....
I had the same bug with my Excalibur. It is no software bug, your headset contacts are not clean

gna, my phone is news :/ but may be I will investigate and try to clean contacts.....
EDIT: I think it's software bug too, because, why when a receive a call or sms, the sound switch between headset and speaker???
im having the same problem to. I cant listen to windows media player through headset. Sound is only coming out of speaker and I cant seem how to turn it over to the headset option. Calls seem to come through earpiece and will also work on BT.
Wath is your ROM version??
Have you already try a bluetooth headset??
Up, anybody have try with bluetooth headset? Do you still have the Fu**ing bug?
there is no such bug in Vox.
If you still think it is a software bug flash your device with some other ROM and if you are lucky that might help.
I use it with a bluetooth headset and its perfect.
according to me this is a hardware issue, and you are entitled to HTC support (flash back HTC original rom before you give it to service)
Annoying bug in the OS
ANYBODY PLEASE FIND A SOLUTION FOR THIS:
I too have experienced this annoying thing in the past...then later on whenever i connect the headphones first i will make sure sound is not coming on the speakers...

I do the same and reboot my phone when I receive an sms (I investigate, the bug appear only when i receive sms)
This morning I bought a bluetooth stereo headset on Ebay, and I will try when I will receive it ( in 2 week).
Stay awake...
So, the news!!!
Finaly I upgrade to Windows 6.1 ROM, and... No more bug
I will ask here the same as on Google forum ...
Some of users have problems with speaker. If I listen to music, it is ok for me (I don't listen it very often). So it looks, that from hardware aspect speaker works fine.
But when I talking (have a call/conversation), I noticed that I sometimes I can't hear people on the other side. Be more specifically - for a second two, the loudness drops a lot and then come back.
What is that? Software problem? Can installing a new kernel (when it comes) helps?
Regards
