HELP!!!!! GF's Mini stuck in headset mode!!!

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!

Skype with GT 7 + (muted mic)

Hello all, i recently purchased GT 7 plus. love it, but when i try to make a skype call, the microphone is on a permanent mute and i cant seem to enable it. i have seen others with this issue. Does anyone have any info on this issue?? Thanks!
GT-P6210

The mute icon ( bottom left ) is quite confusing. It's shows a red line across the microphone but it means that the microphone is working . If you click on it it will change color to BLUE and this is when the microphone is muted.
P_

Do you NEED to use the headphone that comes with the GT7+ to get the microphone to work?
I tried calling from Skype to another Skype and normal cellphone, I can hear the other person, but they CANNOT. I tried pressing the Microphone button (red cross to blue icon then back), and nothing.
My thought the GT7+ have a microphone?

The microphone works without the headphones. At least on my tab.

Damn, didn't work on mine. I have the P6200, wifi version. Is there a settings in Honeycomb or Skype that i need to change?

I have a 6210 WiFi and had issues with my first Tab, which I have since returned.
I've also noticed that the video will work not work with all users, depending on what kind of camera they have.

Where is the location of microphone for 7.0 plus wifi? I didn't find it based on the manual

While you r on a call Unplug ur earphone then plug it back
It worked for me

Call "muted" (both sides) when activating bluetooth during a call

Hello,
since I've upgraded the ROM I am using now (Endymion) to the latest version (3.4) I have a strange problem.
I am opening a new thread because I am not pretty sure it is a ROM related issue (instead it could be a radio related problem, but this has never happened before, with the same radio I am using now). Kernel issue??
The problem is that if I activate the bluetooth and then connect my bluetooth headset, the call is like interrupted so I can't hear the voice of my interlocutor and vice versa for about 10-15 seconds. Then it goes as usual.
I've noticed this issue because I have a Tasker rule which activates the bluetooth if a certain person calls and if I am at home. But this happens even if I activate the bluetooth by hand.
Do you have an idea of what could the cause of this problem be?

I'm sorry, i can't really help you i just can tell you that i'm also on Endymion V3.4 and i often use a Bluetooth headset.
But everything works fine, i have no issues like you.

I often use Bluetooth headset too and the headset is working good for me, but it's the bluetooth activation that makes this problem happen.
Did you try to switch bluetooth ON during a call?
What radio do you use?

Yes i often switch on my Bluetooth headset during a call and I immediately hear the partner in my ear
I have never changed radio, because everything works fine for me (never change a running system).
The second reason is, that i can't flash radio, because I'm S-On. I used HTCDev in case of unlocking the bootloader.

I've actually not had a problem making or receving calls when using a Bluetooth head set.
However i have some time had problems listing to music on the headset when i'm out in public, however i think that might be the headset.
Would changing the radio change that?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Again, such sentence tells me I wasn't clear enough.
I've never had a problem making or receiving calls when using a Bluetooth headset too!.
Indeed, the problem occurs when, and only when I activate the bluetooth during a call.

[Q] Anyone Knows How to Reroute Microphone Profile

Hi,
I have a technical question regarding changing/re-routing microphone.
Here's my problem, it seems like my micro stopped working properly recently (maybe after a drop). The main microphone produces very little sound input and because of that, voice call doesn't work -- people can't hear me very well at all from the other side. Also voice recording doesn't work.
Spaker phone mode and headset mode works just fine. So i know the main-heandset-mic is broken.
My solution:
So I've tried a few approach, including editing the mixer_paths.xml file in system/ect/mixer_paths.xml
I have successfully replaced the main-mic with the speaker-mic and this seems to help a little bit. I'm able to record sound again using the speaker-mic.
But during call, it won't active that mic. I think android turns off all the other mic (both speaker-mic and headphone-mic, if it doesn't detect a headset plugged in and if I'm on normal handset mode).
Does any developers who knows android well enough to help me with this? I think somehow if I can have it so that android won't turn off my spaeker-phone mic when I'm in normal call mode would work, since the I've already replaced the mixter path profile of main-mic with that of speaker-mic.
Hope this is not too confusing..... I've trying my best to describe the problem. it's been very frustrating.

No mic anymore on Zp999 but voice recording still works? Is that possible ?

Hi,
I recently opened my Zp999 because i have some little dots on my screen.
I managed to pull off very delicate the USB/mic board to check the touchscreen underneath. but could not find anything on the screen.
But after remounting the USB board and checking all functions , i found out that when dialing no one could here me anymore.
Tested the mic with Z-device test : no result.
But when i record with voice recording this is still working.
Is this possible that voice recording works and dialing or videorecording is not?
ps : when i record a video there is no sound anymore
ps : google voice is not working either.
I did a full factory reset in the mean while but no result.
What is wrong? Did i crack the mic by someway...? Or connection not optimal by remounting the usb board...?
Thanks for the help.

hello friend the record microphone is not the same of the calling microphone the record mic place in the mainbord up in the right side you need to change the mic and its well work its cost about 10$ in aliexpress or to change it with galaxy s2 mic if you know to do that its the same mic.

Thanks for replying. I did replace it a long ago with a MIC board from AE. All OK since then.
Thanks anyway
