I'm have a problem hearing my calls on my tmobile wing if I do not have my bluetooth headset on. I always have to put the call on speaker phone. Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

so, if you dont use your bluetooth headet, you canot use your wing as a normal phone, meaning you dont hear a thing from the internal speaker? if you are sure that your BT headset is not connected, than probably a hardware problem.

Yea, what he said. There are a couple of other threads on this topic, seems to be a common problem. There is a company out of Texas that will fix this for about $65 called Dr. Cell Phone, or you can call HTC and they will do it for about 90.
Or you could just remove the Wax outta your ears.

It appears that the phone's volume is set at minimum. You can only increase it while you are in an active phone call. The easiest way to do this is to dial you voicemail then adjust the volume control on the side of the handset.
This should do it.
p.s. after this adjustment you may need to turn down your bluetooth.

Both my colleague and I use XDA2s and we work in the same office. Today, both of us have had incoming calls, while the unit is in its cradle. I took mine out of the cradle, checked who was calling and hit the green button. The call was answered (according to the display) but I could hear nothing. My colleague had exactly the same happen to him, from a different caller. Has anyone else had this, or is there a technique to answering a call when the XDA is in its cradle?
Hello,
I have had no problem answering calls from within the cradle -
I did exactly as you said - picked up the device from the cradle, but I pressed the "answer" button on the screen, all works fine for me.
Cheers
I have answered lots of times the same way with no problems, I've even put the unit on speakerphone... Very handy when cradled...
Did you use a headset before?
The following happend for me once:
I use the headset for listening music. Phone is ringing. I unplug the headset, because I have a poor quality Hama one, and in a loudy bus, the internal speaker of the PDA is better.
But I hear nothing. The only way to take a phone call, with the headset.
I think the PDA's headset connector switch was wrong. After I plug and unplug the headset many times, my wallaby worked. (The PDA felt the headset plugged, so switch off the speaker but the headset wasn't pluged. Soft reset did not help)
This is my story

There is a setting, to automatically switch on speakerphone when PDA in the cardle?
Thanks!
Thanks, everyone, for the feedback. Neither of us had used headphones, but we both have BT headsets, which we had used that morning - one's a Jabra BT200 and the other is a Bluetrek G2. I don't know whether that is relevant or not.
If anyone out there uses a BT headset and can tell me how they select a number from contacts and ring it so that the headset works - I'd like to know! Mine only seems to work if initiate the call from the headset.
(off topic, sorry) is there any way of getting the phone to answer calls/dial calls in hands free mode? or creating a profile that does so (ie when i am in car and xda is in a (non handsfree) cradle.

I do not know if this feature is availble. I did a little search on my imate but did not find such a feature! but will be nice to have it!
The only option available is to asnwer received calls after certain rings!
it would be worth cheching how old the rom version is on your xda2 as there is an issue with the very early versions of the rom (1.03.00) for example. In this version nither the cell line or the gprs cant be connected while the XDA2 is in its cradle. current version should be 1.60.00.
hope this helps
I searched for a half-hour on this site and another but couldn't find an answer. Could someone please help?
I'm using MS Voice Command, PhotoContacts Pro and Cardo Scala 500. When the very 1st incoming call comes in after my phone turns on I hear the ringtone via the headset for a few seconds. Then, as soon as Voice Command sounds the alert tone (4 or 5 short tones) the ringtone goes to my phone. All incoming calls after that ring via the phone only while VC sounds the alert.
Question: is there a way to have the ringtone comes through the headset?
BTW, my Scala 500 works perfectly with VC on my MDA otherwise.
Thanks
please help
I tried different settings in VC and PC Pro but nothing is working. Is anyone out there able to have the ringtone go to headset?
Thanks in advance

I found out the Twilight Zone sound when the phone rings is from the Scala 500 itself--pretty neat. Anyway, I realized that I can click once on the bluetooth headset to initiate VC. Afterwards, I simply do NOT click again to close the audio gateway to allow all sounds from the phone (ringtones, announcements, etc.) to come thru the headset.
If I do this, however, I'll need to click the headset twice (first to close the audio gateway) to initiate VC--not a big deal to me. Hope that helps.

HOW??????????????????
How Can I do this please someone help
Ive got the same question.
Paul
Ditto. For some reason when I first connected my headset it rang through the phone as well, but now that is no longer the case and I cannot figure out how to get that functionality back. Any tips anyone?
If I have a bluetooth device connected to my XV-6800, is there a setting or something I can do that will allow me to answer the phone with the call button on the phone, but have it connect to the bluetooth device? Right now if I hit the call button, it only goes through the phones speaker as if the bluetooth device was not connected. For me to answer a call using the bluetooth device, I have to hit the button on the bluetooth device.
Thanks,
Jeff
That's really strange. I know that I don't have the same phone as you (I have touch Elf). I have noticed this. When I have my device connected to bluetooth headset or my handsfree car kit, I can still hit the green call button to anser the phone when I get a call and the call is still transmitted to my bluetooth. I can even still make a call by hitting the green call button, dialing the number and still all through bluetooth.
It sounds like your device is not associating properly with the bluetooth device. Go into your bluetooth settings and check to make sure that you are connected properly for hands free - Go to settings - bluetooth and click on your device to make sure that hands free is checked.
I have also noticed that on a rare occasion, my bluetooth does not connect properly and although paired, does not transmit and sound did come through phone when it shouldn't have. To fix this, I did a soft reset and all was good. It happened to me about three times since I bought the phone in Dec 2007.

The bluetooth is properly connected. When I make a call and hit the green call button, it does go through the bluetooth device. It is only when answering a call it does not go through the bluetooth device when I hit the green call button. Yes, very strange. Oh well, I was hoping somebody might have some insight.

What radio and Windows ROM are you using? I know that some of the different ones fixed some BT issues. When my headset is connected it always goes to my headset no matter what I push. Sometimes I have it in my pocket and forget and then can't hear anything on the phone. I believe you can force it to go to your headset after answering the call though.

I am currently using DCD 3.2.6 with radio 3.37.75. To be honest I am not sure I have tried it with this combination. But, I have had the problem with a DCD rom, I just don't remember which radio.
My phone has always bypassed the bluetooth earpiece if I press the answer button on the phone and not the button on the earpiece. It did it from day one with the stock verizon rom and it still does it with my custom dcd rom.
I like the option of bypassing the earpiece to answer a call, especially in a crowd. Also I have the incoming calls announced thru the earpiece. This allows me to know who is calling without even looking at the phone or touching it to answer it thru the earpiece.
This is my insight on this. I hope this helps.
Are you using Voice Command? Is the sound very low?

Mine operates the same way. I don't beleive this is a "flaw", and may vary by type of bluetooth device being used. OP is looking for a way to override this setting / feature if anyone knows. Personally, I like the option of taking it on the phone for privacy reasons as my BT device is through the car speakers.

I agree, I don't necessarily think it is a flaw. I would prefer to have mine answer with the bluetooth if I hit the green call button. I was just wondering if there is a setting some where that I am overlooking to have it the way I would prefer.
I just tried it again with the DCD 3.2.6 and 3.37.75 radio. As has been mentioned above, it does not appear to be related to a rom or radio, it is a feature of the phone.
A friend of mine has an iphone, and when they get a phone with a bluetooth earpiece enabled, they get options on the screen which say answer, answer on phone, or ignore. Or something along those lines. I like having those options, but understand if it is not available on the 6800.
Thanks for all of the replies.

So what is the best way to handle the situation when you get a call while driving, and HD is mounted and being used as GPS? I tried the speaker phone option, but the caller can barely here me. Any better options? Thanks

But in this case, to here GPS voice instructions, I would have to ware it all the time?
i would imagine so? wouldn't you want that? you would be able to hear the instructions better...
BT headset works diff.
It´s great with a BT headset. I use my phone as GPS and it uses the speaker automaticly. When i get a call i just put myt headset on and take the call like allways.. The GPS software mutes the speaker while youre speaking and then aktivates again when your hanging up...
No problem..

Thanks. I figured this out: bluetooth headset works differently from bluetooth headphones. Headphones replace the speaker, so IGO talks through them. But headset does not - just what I need. Thanks a lot
