Whenever I use my bluetooth headset (Motorola HS850) I can hear the person on the other end just fine but they cannot hear me unless I literally SCREAM. Since that's obviously not a decent workaround I've taken to not using my headset. I miss it and want to use it again.
I've searched the forums and read through this thread completely. I cannot find a single answer that everyone agrees upon.
Can someone please tell me how to increase the volume of the mic of my headset?
I'm runnning Mr Clean's 2.3 ROM (non-UK version).
I have the same problem with all 3 my BT headsets, my bluetrek G2, my i-tech stereo headset and my Sony Ericson BT Car Kit.
What is worse: even when using the the wizard as a normal phone people complain they can't hear me and I also have difficulty in hearing them. I am on the same rom as you.
Without the headset everthing's fine. I hear them, they hear me, no problems at all. Add the headset and the problems begin.

try to increase value of HEADSET_UPLINK_VOLUME registry key. it worked for me.
Thanks, that was the key that looked most promising in the thread I refered to in the OP.
I have in fact already tried changing that from 13 to DD but to no avail. What did you change it to?

i've changed it to DD. works with me..
Anyone else?
Hard to believe I'm the only one with this issue. Anyone else got a solution I can try?
(in other words: BUMP)
i have the same problem.. i jsut bought a Jabra JX10 after having a Moto BT850 and there's no volume for the BT headset.. highly annoying becuase noone can hear me.. i'm going to try the registry setting for the headset, but instead of DD i'm trying CC which worked wonders for using the regular mic.. we'll see
Hi guys
Did either of you get anywhere with this? My O2 Xda Mini S also has this issue. Geesh you'd think they'd test these things before releasing products!
I've tried setting the following to FF & CC under *all* 4 of the AUDIOGAIN folders:
EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME
HEADSET_UPLINK_VOLUME
RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME
I then rebooted, and things are no different. It's weird though because if you take off the Bluetooth (I use the Jabra BT500) and talk directly into the Mic, it sounds perfect - just not when worn on the ear! I thought my old BT200 was faulty due to this, which is why I wrongly bought a new one :roll: Thanks O2/HTC!
Come on guys, let's get this sorted for everyone. Who knows something and isn't telling?

I wish I did. Sadly I've given up and no longer use my BT headset. I miss it like crazy but like you, reached a dead end. If someone has a solution please, please share.
Looks like nobody is able to help us with this.
Is yours an O2 Xda Mini S?
If so have you reported it to O2 technical as I have?
What Bluetooth(s) have you tried?
I started this thread to identify working Bluetooth headsets, but so far only one reply. Maybe it's a brand-by-brand issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=330649#330649
O2 suggested replacing the phone against my wishes (as others have reported the volume issues and reg hacks). I will report back if I still have the problem with the replacement.
have you guys compared roms? I noticed two people were using the same rom? If everyone with this issue is using the same rom, then maybe that could be the underlying issue...? I'm using the Cingular 2.25 rom and never had this problem.
I was using O2 v2.21.4.101
ROM
I'm using Mr. Clean's 2.24a ROM and love it. I downloaded the ROM on the advice of a friend who uses the same ROM and successfully uses a BlueTooth headset so I'm reasonably confident that it's not the ROM.
re help
well I'm using a wizard with the cingular cf2 multi installer. the wizard is an imate kjam and hs850. after reading this thread u might want to try the settings for the mic agc. enable it and see. my problem is when ppl talk its low. I have to press the headset against my ear so I can hear them. as well as them hearing me. so we all in the boat. I will try the enable mic agc and report back.
cheerz
agc?
again
AGC? Anyone? Bueller?
AGC = Microphone Auto Gain Control.
It should be in the Settings under the System tab if your rom has it. Basically this only works with the built-in mic though and not wireless headsets.
No AGC doesn't help, but I suspect this is some issue to do with the level at which the Wizard uses echo cancellation. I think it is expecting a louder voice through the Bluetooth and as it doesn't hear a voice above the correct level, it barely transmits the audio.
I use the Jabra BT500 and if I take it off my ear and talk normally into the mic hole, callers can hear me really really well. It's just in the 'on-ear' position that it doesn't work.
*Update* I have received a replaced Xda Mini S, and tried it with its original v1.x ROM and the new v2.x ROM. Both have the same problem. So, I have tried:
Different Jabra headset
Different Xda Mini S
Different ROM
Changing all the registry settings as per the other thread
...all in different combinations
I therefore suspect it may simply be that the Wizard is incompatible with Jabra bluetooth headsets.
melvynadam, what headset are you using?

Motorola HS850. I used to have a Motorola phone and a Pa1m0ne Tungsten T3 but decided that I'd rather carry a single device. The HS850 worked wonderfully with the Motorola phone and I really miss having a BT headset.
Hi
I've just purchased HTC TyTN, when I talk to ppl over the bluetooth handsfree I can hear the opponent fine, but they cannot hear me. I have to SCREAM in the mic. This was also an issue on the HTC Prophet I had, but was fixed in HTC Universal and now TyTN has the same issue. I have read the same issue on the wizzard aswell, but no sollution there. And most the registery advices there I did not have in my registery at all.
Any help would be appreciated.
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

Strange behavior indeed...try a hardreset and/or rom upgrade...and please look in the forums for the usual a2dp and bluetooth fixes/hacks for your hermes.
BTW in Hermes->Hermes accessories already is a thread about this device/accessory combination.
Hello
Since i bought my htc hd2 in November 2009, I never find the solution to call people with my bluetooth headset. The bip sound that should tell me when to pronounce the name doesnt work well and sometimes people call me on the cell phone, i answzer with the bluetooth headset and I receive the voice in the cellphone and not in the headset. Someone can help please
Thanks a lot
I have the same problem. I've tried 3 different bluetooth headsets. Some days it's fine. Even turning the phone off and on doesn't fix it a lot of the time. I'm actually kind of ticked at the HD2; I thought upgrading from the T-mo Wing would be great, but the HD2 had the freezing problem, and now with the new firmware, it's like something is running in the background (although it's not). I've been using a wired headset when it's critical that I don't have an issue.
Does anyone else have people on the other end complain of a terrible echo when you use bluetooth on your G2?
Ive tried a jabra and a jawbone II to see if it is from the headset but apparently not.
