what does the button on you're headset do ???

I put my exec into corporate mode before I started using it for phone calls !!! and now my button does nothing (im not sure if it ever did) I would imagine it is send, end and redial last number !!! is it supposed to work in corp mode, is their anyway to activate it ??

C'mon guys some of you must have pressed the button before !!!

The button on my Bluespoon AX tells my MDA to start the voice dialling app.
Snag is, when it's in my bag, if it gets accidentally pressed, it recognises from nowhere my only voice tag and dials it.
Of course, I don't know this until I get a text later from the contact saying 'Your phone called me again.'
Most annoying so tag removed to stop it.
Bloody thing. But I love my MDA and wouldn't swap it for anything else on the market right now.

I mean the button on the incorparated wired handset !!!! not bluetooth

Press to answer a call, and press to end if I remember right.

I thought as much, mine puts my call on hold if I am already in the middle of a call, and that's all it does it's quite frustrating. I'm getting a new XDA soon anyway (my Mic has packed in) there were a couple of funny issue's with this one, when I first booted it the keyboard lights didn't work, I had to hard reset it to get any joy.

Although using a Magician instead of a Universal I tried my wired headset today myself... does nothing during a call I started. Won't spend money on trying it the other way around now... disappointing.
I hope it fires an event which is not handled yet - so it can be picked up by an application to start Voice Command for instance.

Phone App issues; Anyone else?

I have had my K-Jam for a month now and I love it, but I find the phone part of it very inconsistent.
1) voice quality is inconsistent, some calls great some have static or are muffled
2) Bluetooth connection gets dropped out of the blue. I make a call and it works fine, two mintes later I answer a call and I can't hear anything; I look at the phone and I notice that the BT headset icon is off so I pick up the phone and I can hear the voice on the phone but not ont he BTheadset
3) Speaker volume very low, not usable for me; is there a setting I can use
4) when I roam to the US from Canada the signal strenght bars disappear and I have to reset the device (sometimes 2 or 3 times) before the bars appear again
5) lastely, sometimes the phone just turns itself off out of the blue.
Anyone else encouter any of these issues?
I use my phone for business and I find it a pain that it is so inconsistent.
Are there settings/registry keys I can modify to fix any of these?
Thanks

not much help to you,
but i have had none of the problems you have listed,
sorry i can't help

for (3) volume low.
I notice that handsfree (aka using internal speaker for public audience) is not "activable" if my bluetooth headset is connected (and even if I previously disconnect"tranfer" BT hS to 9100).
Only way to have this handsfree, is to shutdown previously by BT headset.
For other nothing special Roaming works well for me between France-Belgium.

I am having phone app problems, but not the ones you describe. I have to reboot sometimes because the phone will not dial from contacts. I highlight the contact and try to dial, but it just doesnt do anything, like the button is
not being pushed. Afte a reboot it works ok again.
Anyone else?

I'm having the very same problems, I'm also with Rogers (in Saskatchewan). Have you had any success fixing the issue?

This sounds like a carrier/ signal issue. See if you can tell how strong your signal is when things like this happen. Here in Nashville, TN USA, I don't have this problem.

I don't have this problem with my Motorola HS820. The BT performance is perfect. Much better than on my Blue Angel.

If you're referring to the speaker phone, there seems to be a quality issue with the speaker phone right now. A lot of people are reporting problems with this feature. I'm hoping a ROM upgrade will come out to help address the issue.

This is definitely a signal/carrier issue. Soft resetting when you cross the boarder isn't unreasonable. The issue is your cell phone registering on the roaming network. You're doing the right thing to resolve the issue, here.

Do you mean the cellular radio turns off, or the device sleeps? If the cell radio turns itself off out of the blue, its not supposed to do that, and there may in fact be something wrong with it. You may want to look into getting it either repaired or exchanged (depending on how long you've had it...)
I haven't had any of these problems with my K-JAM. Its been working very well, and I'm VERY pleased with the way its been working.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help.

Busy tone - turns speaker on

Anyone has the same problem???
When calling someone whos already on the phone, I get the usual busy tone - but on the Vario II's speaker (loud) (like it turns the speaker on automatically,... weird) Its annoying if I want to make a quite call at the office!

Yep, I get that as well! Effin' annoying it is as well when you've got the unit to your ear

I had this same issue once. I am using a HTC branded TyTN. My normal network is Cingular in the US, and I do not get this issue when using my Cingular SIM. I was recently in Singapore using a SingTel SIM, and the busy tone would come out the speaker. When I switched to a M1 SIM (also in Singapore, blasted SingTel does not allow data on prepaid!), I did not have the problem anymore. I also did not have this when using SMART prepaid in Manila or when using DTAC prepaid in Thailand. Also, I was using the stock TyTN ROM at the time. I have since switched to 1.35, but I have not had a chance to travel yet to see if the new ROM fixes the issue.

Same here. Really annoying.
Any solutions, guys?

Here is a fix, HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/Sounds/BusyTone and change the wavfile for a quieter one, I use the busytone.wav file which i think gets installed withe skype ( i am not quite sure where it is originally from, just found it in my windows directory).

Or you can just remove the letters from the 'script' entry there - as I posted earlier today, which will disable it completely.

I don't know if this has been asked/answered but when i dial a phone number using the keypad the sound of the keys goes through the external speaker on the phone- is there a reg edit to make dialing key sounds go through the earpiece and not the speaker?
Thanks

I have the busy tone problem with my O2 trion. I use the workaround of nathanlock and it works great. I also contacted HTC about the problem. They claim that they have never heard about it.

touch tones and busy tone really loud
I have the same issue. i'd really like to fix both. the busy tone is extremely loud, and the dialing tones let everyone in a 10 cubicle radius know you are making a call. I have a love hate relationship with my 8525. love the things it can do, hate the things it sometimes does....
found some sound keys for the dial buttons in the registry, but nothing that looks like volume settings for them.

I have the same issue! it was really anoying... not anymore

tone problem
Nero would you like to explain how you solved the problem

I'm also having the problem with the tones coming out of the speaker when dialling. Additionally when i push the red/orange phone button the phone makes a high pitched sounds from the speaker.
I really dont remember either of these problems a couple weeks ago when I finished properly flashing it. Some one mentioned skype. I did recently install that.

Same here. Strange problem.

workaround update: change "Script" value to "ap" for tone to play only once, and change "Sound" value to "busytone.wav" (comes in rom, at least for HTC TyTN) - it's not loud at all.

Keypad sound issue
I only have the keypad issue. I have looked around but have not been able to find a solution. I would like to have the sound from the keypad in the earphone not on the speaker.
Is this the way the tytn is setup or is it just the group here that has the issue?
Can your "Busy Tone" fix also fix the keypad speaker problem?

HTC Hermes 200 - IPL 1.01 / SPL 1.40.Oli / ROM 3.24.0.4 / GSM 1.40.30.00 (WM6 LVSW Edition 2007/04/08) + Wifi update

I've solved the keypad issue by selecting "Off" in the Keypad combo box at the end of the Phone Setting Page.
I hope it helps.
Cheers

I not really sure where you set this option, keypad combo?
It may be me, but can you be more specific, please?

The option I've found is under Settings-> Phone
You may see three Combo lists: Ring type, Ring Tone and Keypad
For the Keypad you can have "Long Tones", "Short Tones" and "Off".
If you take the last one you won't hear anything when you press use the keypad for making a call.

Great got it, Thanks! How blind am I?

Solution to busy tone problem
I had the same problem regarding the busy tone going through the speaker. I also had the added aggravation that, after each time that problem happened, my calls would divert straight to voicemail until I soft reset.
Another problem I used to have was that if I had call waiting and tried to answer the waiting call, the phone would freeze and I would have to soft reset with the stylus.
I was using an SPV M3100 with the original Orange UK ROM in Spain, with a Vodafone Spain SIM.
I believe these are simply bugs in the early radio roms. They show up with unpredictable combinations of roaming or using different sims than those of the original ROM operator's.
I fixed both problems by upgrading my radio.
Hope that helps.

phone signal/ dialing problems

Guys I count on your help...
I have a poblem with my Hermes: I can't use the phone
Even if it appears it has GSM signal sometimes I can dial a number and call but sometimes (80 percent of the cases) the phone shows "dialing" and just freezes.
Also if I call on my own number in 80 percent of the cases my voice mail comes, as the phone would be powered off (even it shows full GSM signal).
Also,when it works , it often happens I can't end a phonecall , nor touchscreen or call/ end call buttons are working, I have to restart it.
I have wm5 / rom version 2.11.61.1 and radio 1.50.00.00
Pls help, any ideas...
Thank you!!

Change the radio, use seach.
Read other posts, it is easy to just ask a question.

Intermittant issues Dialing out.

Got a strange one. I have the latest o2 Rom (Which i think has been taken down from HTC's site?).
This morning I went to dial someone and the phone just beep beep beeps and goes back to the menu.
I can call the mobile from another phone. I can dial my voicemail ok.
I changed the Sim the other day in an o2 shop as the phone would not connect to the internet.
Any reasons? I have hard reset it and power cycled it..
Cheers.
Rob.
