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!
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

Hi all, i have a problem after upgrade my SPV C600 from WM5 to WM6.
after finish the upgrading, i could play my windows media player and could make a phone call without any problem.
after a while after i plug in my earpice to listen music, it went good as well.
after plug it off (earpiece not attached), when i play windows media player, i cant hear anything and i try to make a phone call also the same, no sounds came out from speaker and from loudspeaker as well. but when i plug in the earpice everything goes smoothly, meaning that i can listen music and communicate with others when make a phone call.
before that i tried to ensure whether i face the software or hardware problem by setting the ringtone (start->setting->sound). but the sound could come out from the speaker.
after that i guess that the speaker (hardware) has no problem.
as to play windows media player and setting ringtone are using the same speaker.
can anyone tell me whats happening with my phone?
i believe that it is software related problem.
thanks in advance
my advise is to reboot your phone at me this works...

i have tried to reboot and hard reset as well
but i can only listen music and make a phone call when i use my earpice
Please state which ROM you are using, we recommend Andot's PEE
I too have this exact problem any solution other than hard reset - dont need the pain of downloading resinstalling all my stuff - especially if its going to happen again.

Tornado mic and speaker for phone not working
It rings and plays sounds but it appears that the hardware microswitch that sets it to wired-headset mode is stuck. I cannot set it back. Also: it switched into this mode when I rebooted (soft). I did not add or remove a 2.5mm jack. Is there a registry setting to override the microswitch sensor and keep it out of headset mode?
Hi, this is my first post and hope helpfull everybody, possibly i was the same problem over ALL ROM (wm6 & wm6.1), searching for any solution (my specific trouble was that if i wanna listen music over any player: ( a.k.a windows media, pocket player, etc), i dont had a normal sound from the speaker, the sound was distorsioned, low... horrible, the only solution was insert the plug from the headset and out , but, power off the phone and... again, sucks really ), i return to a Wm5 Rom (imate) and solve the problem, but, tired for the slow performance of WM5, search for other rom, sacrify the music listen ( but i have a good mp3 player...), and, the same problem.
I found in the web (no remember the page) that the SRS plug-in anytimes cause troubles with the sound output, i try to install any ROM WITHOUT this complement, the ROM from Rickywatt Tornado Neo/shadow no have this plugin, install and ...Eureka, no more the issue, follow my instint, i install the SRS plug in, reboot and... the fuc%$& problem, hard reset and the phone witout the problem... conclusion, the SRS was the monster.
You can try this "method", most of rom carry or include from the "kitchen" this SRS dll, but installing the rom from Rickywatt (fast, clean... beautiful, only without the spanish lang, but, nothing is perfect...), can solve the issue, for me ,cors, i dont know for you (my phone is a HTC sda).
For the mic, really i dont have idea , any bad registry, entry, etc :-(, i never have this issue, good luck...

That's not controlled by software. Try plugging and unplugging a headset several times, twisting it around to clean the contacts. It should clean and close contact for built in speaker to work again. Think of a circuit. If its closed, you have built in speaker. If it opens and you have a headset pluged in, then audio flows thru the headset. It won't go back to speaker until that circuit is closed again. Its mecanical, not software, so you can't do anything with registry.

the same for me
well
the only fix i got was to disasemble and remove the swithch leaving its contacts as exposed as possible, the soldered a wire between 2 of the 3 connectors, hey presto all working, headset hole then filled with glue from glue gun
very rough but it worked....
as an after thought though see if youve updated your radio software, stranger things have happened if youve been into flashing with 3rd party roms

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.
My device have a problem with phone calls, everytime the phone receive or make a phone call I hear to loud noise (like the sound those old military woki toki makes when you push the "call" button) there is also an echo.
This problem is also occurring while using an earphone, so I think that the problem isnt with the earpiece of the device itself.
Ive just unlocked my device so I didnt know about this problem until now.
You can hear and see it here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WQIrxUktzg
Well, It also is happening while the device is connected ,via Bluetooth, to an external speaker.
You can close the thread.
the origin of the problem is this mod:
