So here is my problem and I know others have it. The incoming call volume when connected to a factory installed handset system in a car (in my case Ford Sync) is terrible. It's so quiet that its hard to make out the person the other end. I had the same problem with the incredible. Does anyone know of a fix?

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:

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!
Guys,
I did search through the forum and I found several users with the following problem but no solution yet.
I use a bluetooth headset a lot (not a stereo, just a regular one!) and when I answer a call, people on the other side can not hear me. I have to go to bluetooth setting and do "Set as handfree" on the device so that it works again.
But it only works for a couple of minutes! The next call that I use my headset I need to do it again.
Is there a solution for this?
PS: My bluetooth headset is a Motorola H700.

I use a Plantronics 510 (or something like that) and I haven't had any problems with WM6 disconnecting from it like you describe. I have went to answer the phone with it a couple of times and it didn't seem to be linked up, but I just press the button on the headset and it links right up and then answers the call on the next press. But thats only happened a couple of times and I think each of those times I had walked away from my phone so probably went out of range (so I'm guessing the phone just hadn't noticed the BT headset being in range yet).
Try deleting the partnership and setting it up again after a soft reset.
I too have a Plantronics Voyager I think its called and I have not had this problem. I tossed my Motorola BT because the audio level was way too low on it.

I tried that and it did not work... Thanks for trying anyway...
Did you try when you tick the hands free that you used the enter button on the D pad instead of the other button?

I've reported the same issue with Farias ROM I am using WM6. I use a Plantronics, have to keep going back and selecting it as the handsfree.
Don't know if it a WM6 problem or a Faria problem...annoying I know.

hey.... it worked!!!! At least so far! :-D
I have repaired the headset (but I tried that several times in the past!) and untick the hands free and ticked it again and now I have tried several times and it seems that it is working.
I do not understand way. Can you explain I this non-sense procedure solves the problem
I had a little problem pairing my Plantronics Explorer 340 with my device, but after the pairing, it did work without any problems. apparently some WM6 roms out thre are having this issue. I would suggest re-flash your device and se how it works
I have a Plantronics 655 and don't have this problem. The only thing out of the ordinary that I do when pairing though is re-name the headset (defaults to 6xxPlantronics, I change it to Plantronics 655)
However, I experience a slightly different problem. My BT headset and handset don't automatically re-pair after returning in range or resetting the handset. Anyone else experiencing this?
Everytime I walk out of range or reset my phone, I would have to turn off my headset then turn it back on for the two to pair back up. I sometimes forget and when I hear the handset ring, I pick up w/ the headset only to find that they're no longer paired. Is there a way to have the two automatically pair back up? I never had this problem when I was using AKU3 roms and the stock Cingular 2.25 ROM.
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
Hello all,
I've had my TP for over a month now, and globally I'm pretty much happy with it. Of course there are some glitches here and there, but no doubt a firmware upgrade will fix those bugs soon.
That said, there's an annoying issue with the way bluetooth headsets work with the phone part. Let me try to explain :
- When an incoming call occurs and I answer using the "take call" button on my headset (which is a Plantronics Pulsar 590), sounds is transferred to the headset and everything works fine.
- When an incoming call occurs and I answer using the "answer" button on the mobile, the sound stays on the TP even if the headset is switched on and connected to the TP.
When the latter happens, I can't get the sound back to the headset. When I select "transfer to hands-free" from the phone menu, the transfer works erratically.
Is there a fix available somewhere to make sure that, when the headset is on and connected, the sound of an incoming call always goes to the headset?
Thanks a lot in advance for any help you may bring on solving this issue!
Are you using AEBPlus?
No (and honestly, I don't see how that relates to the problem)
Hi Guys,
I also have this issue.
But if I press the 'answer call' on the mobile the sound stays with the Touch Pro but if, once I realise what I've done, I press the 'answer call' on the headset then audio is transferred to the headset again.
Does that happen for you? I'm using an SBTHS-3500 BT headset.
Cheers,
D.

Sorry, I had multiple tabs open for responses.
Copy'n'Paste error.
P.S. I had this issue on my TP and Diamond as well. I have since installed a 2.03-based ROM which fixes the issue (since you can no longer press the phone button to answer, but rather have to use a slider).
Anyone have this problem or have an answer for me.
My Sensation connects automatically to my car handsfree system (Honda Accord) and mostly works fine.
The problem occurs when it disconnects and I`m away from the car. Whenever I make a call the loudspeaker turns on and I have to manually turn it off before taking or making the call.
Also, when somebody rings me the phone doesn`t ring, it just makes a quiet beep so I miss a lot of calls. the only way I can stop it is to restart the phone, I can`t find any settings to solve it.
Don`t know if its related but I have Carhome ultra and Vlingo installed but the problem occurs whether or not I run these programs, I only have to connect to the cars bluetooth system.
Nobody else have this problem? Or able to offer any clues as to why it might be happening
