On my 8125, when ever I answer an incoming call with the button on my bluetooth headset, the caller gets a brief loud noise. I have tried several different bluetooth headsets and received the same issue. Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? Any ideas on fixing this? Thank you in advance for your assistance.
Wow, I've been having the same problem. My wife always complains because whenever I answer with my BT headset she gets the loud noise in her ear. If anyone knows how to fix this, please let us know.
Bump- I have the same issue...is it the BT stack- does anyone have some advice on what to check?
Thanks.

People get REALLY upset when it happens, they say its VERY loud. So I've been having to answer on the phone.. THEN activate the BT. NOT very safe while driving!!
Well....interesting. I hear the SAME thing from people that call me on my 8125. I am obviously not alone.
Curious - is everyone using Voice Command? Could this be the culprit?
OK- I found out what the problem was with MY phone...it was the vibrate option.
My phone was set to "vibrate AND ring"- this caused the noise when answering calls only (to the calling party).
Setting it to "Ring" or "Vibrate THEN ring" and waiting for the vibrate to complete prior to answering the call stopped all the noise...
Hope that this helps!
Thanaks for the input it works for me.

Cool. My wife and coworkers are going to be very happy about this. I've had people refuse to call me due to that loud noise when I answer (they send me an SMS asking me to call them )

I have a Cingular 8125 paired with a Plantronics 320. When I answer an incoming call with my bluetooth headset, the other party hears static while the headset establishes a connection. Once the connection is ready, the static disappears. It only lasts for a second or so, but is highly annoying to the other party. Has anyone else experienced this or have a solution? This also happens with my old Tekkeon BT headset, so I know it is a phone issue. Thanks!
Are you using both ring and vibrate at the same time? Perhaps a custom ringtone?
If so, I have had the same situation. Unfortunately, the only solution at the moment that I know of is to turn off the vibrate, or don't use Bluetooth.
I submitted this to HTC a while back after experiencing it on my 8125, and an 8125 I had to replace it.
EDIT: I've only tested it with two 8125's, and a Samsung WEP150 and Motorola H810 (I think) headsets..
Also, as an experiment, try calling yourself from another phone, and answer with the headset. What you'll likely notice is that the static goes away as soon as the vibrating stops.
sk0t. Thanks for the reply and info. It sucks that we have to disable vibrate. I'll give it a shot and see if I don't blow out my friends' eardrums.
*UPDATE*
That did the trick. Thanks.

Suspected it might. It certainly does suck that we have to disable vibrate when using a BT headset. Drives me nuts actually.
When I went through and discovered this (haven't seen reference to the issue anywhere in my searches), I had tested with something like 3 different headsets and two 8125's.. Was able to duplicate it every time once I figured out what the cause was.. Very very strange..
I just hope that HTC can do something with this issue on these phones..
Wish I had found this thread a couple of weeks ago. I went through 3 Plantronics 510 headsets and two Cingular 8125 before making the discovery that the problem was tied to the vibrate ringer setting.
One thing I've done--since I'd still like the vibrate feature--is you can set the ringer to "vibrate then ring". I just have to make sure I don't pick up while the handset is vibrating--which isn't too hard since that usually is just the first caller's ring.
Another think I found when troubleshooting: if I put my handset in another room and pick up incoming calls everything is fine. Seems like the vibration needs to be in proximity to the headset for this problem to occur.
hmm i just got my bt headset and was told of the static...
thanks for the info guys will deff turn of the vibration to see if that prevents the static when answering a call
I nearly always use a BT headset for calls since the Wing is a pain to hand hold while talking.
Nearly all people I talk to complain of a "screetch" type of sound when I answer a call with my BT headset. I've tried three different headsets, same result. The noise does not happen when I initiate the call, and I cannot hear the noise when I answer the call. at frst I thought it was just a one time event, but callers tell me the problem is consistent and loud enough that they keep their phone away from their ear when I answer.
Using a stock Wing (TMO factory ROM) with either a Jabra BT500 (most of the time), a Plantronics 590 or a Plantronics 6xx headset, same result with all.
Anyone experience similar or have ideas how to resolve?
Noone has mentioned it to me yet (just got my wing yesterday) but my MDA definitely did that on occassion. Only did it when it was on vibrate too...I think people were actually hearing the mechanical vibration on their end. And it only happenned via BT...which made it even stranger since that meant the mic wasn't even part of the phone.
Amazing, that's exactly what the problem was!
Apparently even when you answer via BT, the internal microphone is enabled for a second or two and it picks up the sound of the vibration motor.
Thanks for the advice, now to gripe to TMO or someone about the problem for what it's worth.
my mda has been doing the same thing for the past 2 days... but on all calls incoming and outgoing without the bt and it starts up with the bt but stops after a second.. is there anything to do to fix it?
When I answer my phone or dial someone, I hear my reminder sound three times. (Not through the back speaker though)
Very annoying, because then I don't hear what the other person is saying.
Also sometimes my phone gives a vibrate for no reason.
Is anybody experiencing the same?
Is there a fix for this issue?
Ok XDA, i have one big/huge/enormous problem,
Scenario:
Talking on the phone, using the Wired Handsfree (which came with the phone), when i get another call (call waiting) the notification of the other call is going through the loud speaker! not only that, the ongoing is immediately routed the loud speaker, anyone near me can hear the conversation clearly!!!!!!
does anyone face this?
i checked it on 2 X1s, 1 black & 1 silver and it's there.
anyway to solve this
same problem for me
I have a similar problem with a Parrok CK3100. The phone can't ever seem to decide for sure what speakers it's supposed to be using.
Sometimes I'll press the Voice Command button on the bluetooth device and the phone speaks out, sometimes the car speakers speak out.
I just don't know.
Annoying that the much, much cheaper E71-2 handles all of this with great aplomb, as did my Q9h.
any one else facing this problem people?
i started searching in order to get a clue,
the main thing i'm thinking is that it's caused the same way VOIP (including skype) used to behave using speaker phone!
what do you think?
I have the same problem with a german x1. ROM R2A.
Is there any solution for this problem
thx
walk
Fixed
Bugs Fixes (Registry):
Sound is routed to the Loud Speaker when having a phone call and get a waiting call while using Handsfree
change the key HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Speaker to 0 (default value = 1).
added to the wiki of X1
Thanks. I've changed that setting to see if it solves my problem, too.
Hey guys I searched the forum but didn't find anything on this particular problem.
I got a replacement warranty swap N1 sent to me and for the first 2 days it was working fine but for some unknown reason I cannot hear the other person on a call and the ONLY way I can hear the other person is to have the speakerphone on
Has anyone ever dealt with this? Any ideas?
Thank you guys for any help you can give me.
Did you check the voice volume setting?
Did you check if the physical speaker is working at all? It might be disconnected.
Return for another replacement, I say. If the voice volume setting is ok - it's most probably a faulty speaker.
I don't have that exact problem, but sometimes, pretty randomly, when I swipe to answer a call, it answers with speakerphone turned on, which can be pretty startling (and, depending on what the first thing the caller says is, pretty embarrassing).
