Hey people!
I'm pretty new to customizing a smartphone, so I need some help.
I have an LG KS20 phone, with original ROM (Windows Mobile 6 OS 5.2.1626), and I bought a Nokia BH-501 stereo headset some time ago. First it didn't work well of course, but thanks to some registry hack the hissing and such are gone now. My problem is, that I mostly kept the phone in my shirt pocket so far, but when I put it in my jeans pocket, the music stops playing sometimes.
Any idea why is it? Is it the headset, or the phone, or maybe WM 6?
Thanks for reading and possible answers!

I got this BT headset for a present to myself.....apparently i can barely be heard at the other end when using it, i can hear clearly at the headpeice so i done an experiment.....it seems that my voice is being picked up through the phone mouthpice rather than the BT mic......i know this because if i put the phone behind a door and talk i can not be heard at all !!!.....anyone else had this problem or am i doing something stupid ??
Which ROM are you using? I had the same problem on my XDAII after upgrading to 2003SE. Used Pocket Bluetooth Tools as a workaround.

hmmmm...i had already upgraded to 2003se prior to getting BT headset......so this blue tools will do the job ??
perhaps anyone else encountered the same issue - i don't know any further with this:
after flashing the o2 xda mini german with the bigstorage rom from: ftp.xda-developers.com/Magician/BigStorage_ROMs/DE_O2_1.12.01.zip
via sd/boot-method the speaker doesn't seem to work anymore correct.
it seems like the speaker on the back of the magician is only working when a call comes in, but not for alerts, sounds or a mp3player like mortplayer or wmplayer.
also the speaker and the mic at the front of the mini aren't working.
so i flashed the device again with the original rom, but it isn't working anymore, also not with all the other available roms.
so i tried to adjust the preamp with no success.
let's see if i wake up tomorrow without a bell :roll:
I believe you have a hardware problem and has nothing to do with the ROM. There are threads and a PDF file showing how to dismantle and fix the speaker contact.
hmm i don't think so - why should it play the ring sound when someone calls? i also checked if it is the speaker on the back side which is playing the ring sounds - and: yes - it's the one on the back side
No sounds after just 6 months of use on my O2 Xda II mini!
Hi lindsche:
I also have the same problem - no sound coming out of my O2 Xda II mini EXCEPT for the ringtone for incoming calls. I have not installed any new software on my device and I have only had and used this device for 6 months! The only way I can hear anything from the device (including phone conversations) is through the use of the audio ear phones. I have been in contact with O2 Technical Support from the Asia Pacific Region (where my device was purchased) who have been suggesting all kinds of different resets stuff to no avail thus far.
By the way, where is the speaker located on this device??
Any advice would be much appreciated.
yeah, i think its hardware too, i had the same experiance with my wallaby (siemens sx56). The problem was from the audio jack. There is a small switch inside the jack that stuck so the device thinks that you are using handsfree. i tried to plug and unplug it but it make the problem worst. if been looking for the jack parts everywhere but couldnt find one. so when i got my new magician, i always plug and unplug the handsfree very very very carefully.
to upcityhighroller and lindsche: i believe your problem is in your audio jack. if you able to hear the ringtone, but not able to hear phone conversation and other sound, that means your phone thinks you are using the handsfree. best think you can do is check inside the jack with flashlight , make sure its clean and nothing stuck inside.
as per someone else's advice found in this forum, i tapped the device against my palm and the sound came back! i'm very happy EXCEPT now my power button won't work!! my temporary solution is to unlock the buttons so that I can turn on the device using any of the other buttons but now I also have NO other way to shut the device down! (I'm force to wait for 2 minutes of inactivity before it shuts down.)
Any suggestions??
Many thanks!
Not able to pick a phone call using handsfree ear phone.
Hi !
Bought O2 XDA mini, a couple of weeks ago....
I am not able to pick any call when handsfree is connected to O2 mini. I can the hear the ringing tone and listen MP3 too using the handsfree....
I have tried the handsfree on another O2 mini phone and is working absolutely fine...
I called the O2 service center and they asked me to do hard reset....
If it still does not work, they have asked me to give it to service center for repair...
I was wondering if anyone had experienced the same problem... If so, what is the resolution.??
kindly share your views... thanks.

hey i had a simialr problem.......even i hard resetted but the problem persisted.....but when i charged my battery it worked fine...i guess our phone doesnt accept calls if the battery is below 20%
I was desperatly searching the net for a solution and did what you guys were talking about and tried cleaning the headphone jack, i recommend using an air compressor and while u have music playin in media player just gently blow air into the jack, and if that doesn't work try a little more air, the air seemed to clean most of the dust and whatnot that had clogged it, i just had to give it some firm but gentle taps with my palm and and it works fine now. Releived, as i was just about to buy a second hand replacement
Have the same problem with my Mini.
Couldnt hear and be heard during calls, brought the phone to the service center,
they replaced the hardware yet in the end they couldnt figure out whats wrong.
Im using 1.12 right now do you think it would help if i upgrade or downgrade my ROM?
Need your inputs on this guys!
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
after using tomtom for a week, the voice directions began to get very crackly, and then pretty much disappeared. Now, there's no sound at all ... no ring tones etc. I've done a hard rest, but no luck.
Any ideas on what I can do?
Thanks!

i had this happen on my wifes prophet, turns out the headphone jack has some issues on the phone (needs replacing). there is a few threads about it, the one above doesnt help if this is the case.
Had this problem on my XDA neo 3 times and always send it back for repair, after the third time o2 exchanged my neo for a terra (HTC Herald, a Prophet with hardware keyboard)
I have a problem with my original HTC BH S100 bluetooth stereo headset.
sound is great but it cannot fast forward/rewind with my diamond, with both mediaplayer and audio manager.
other command (play/pause/next/previous) are OK. FF and FREW may be obtained by press and hold next or previous.
How's the sound quality of that unit? I was considering buying.
I got one and use it with HTC Touch HD. Sound quality is near perfect if you turn up the signal to the highest setting.
battery
may i ask how fast those bt headsets do drain our jewelerys battery? im thinking about buying a bt headset cuz my original headset is already broken at the plug so should i buy a bigger battery? then it would be a really expensive purchase huh?
70 quid for akku and another 80 quid for the headset
I am using this BT headset . sound quality is very nice.however,i have porblem that it keep pausing every 5 or 6 seconds for 1 second or less in an episodic way.I took it to the store i bought it from.They tried it on a another phone and it was running smoothly.I dunno what to do. please advice.
Should you read this thread first:

My mobile is HTC TP2 and still looking for perfect settings, anyway, I was sure it is because of poor quality of BH S100, or one chip for bluetooth and wlan in my mobile, but its probably more software/setting related issue.
Cannot check on Android (Froyo) as bluetooth feature is still in developing stage.
Working for phone calls only under Android.

Hey, i have original rom on my diamond and i have long time searched for an bluetooth handsfree that will be OK in my car, and so i bought myself an Pama Omega sunvisor handsfree and on my sony ericsson it works soo flawless but on my daily phone diamond it pairs up, but one of the two devixes is unwilling to transfer calls, is there some ROMS that is moe likely to fix this or can i install a software fix of some kind making them understand eachother..??
i have tomtom installed and the htc is working kinda OK so i really would stay away of killing all data and making me instal tomtom and everything again, BUT im willing if i can make the bluetooth work!! REALLY!!
i need my handsfree in my car so its worth some work!!
also ive spent quite some money on this handsfree so id like it to work!
MANY MANY MANY thanks!!! for all the help!
