sound works with media player but not with phone function !

Hi,
When making calls I can't hear any sound at all....neither can the other person.
I can record and playback using the dictaphone function with no problems. I can also play back all sound using windows media player. and all other sounds within the XDA such as volume increase/decrease, beeps etc....
But when using the phone I can't hear anything :? ...does the XDAII have one speaker or two ? any help on this would be greatly appreciated...
Also holding down the green phone key does not activate the speakerphone function ?
BTW I have already done hard and soft resets
ROM VERSION 1.60.00WWE
ROM DATE: 12/03/03
Radio version 1.10.00
Protocol version 1337.18
ExtROM version 1.60.50

Does the phone work with the headset.? There is only one speaker as far as I know but 2 settings for phone/pda.

yes the phone works with the wired and bluetooth head set !!

Is this something that just started happening, or has it done it since a ROM upgrade?

I have the same problem appart from I get no sound from the wired heatset either. Not tried bluetooth as i dont have a bluetooth headset.

How long are you holding down the button? You hold it down after dialling the number for about 3-4 seconds, you should then get a popup informing you speakerphone is active.

No volume on unit
I have the same problem and it comes and goes. Anyone know how to fix this bug entirely?

No sound during call, speakerphone works and headset works.
I have the same problem:
No sound during call, however speakerphone works and headset works well. There is no sound only when I use it as regular phone. Person on the other line can hear me well all the time.
When I raise volume during call I can hear peices of the person on the other line, at the same time as phone beeps that it reached sound maximum.
This happened after phone was dropped and it hard reset itself automatically.
I am trying to reboot it now with different ROM.
Headset jack hasnothing to do with it, since speakerphone works well.
If anybody has any idea please share.
Thanks

xda 2 sound problem
Unfortunatley I have the same problem ;/
Identical as b11gy
Could anyone help us?
After rom upgrade the problem is identical
Hey.. did it happen after unlocking the phone?

I've got the same problem, Sound and mic work perfectly until I call somebody, I've got a wired headset, the speakers work during a call, but the mic doesn't.
I've just updated the phone from wm3 to wm5, but I had the problem before I updated, and i'n still having it. Does somebody have a solution for this problem?

The problem is not in Windows, because I updated windows from 3 to 5, it's not a hardware problem, because the notes-function work fine.
in an other topic I read some people think the phone is in headset mode, but if that is the case, mediaplayer etc. would only play via the headset.
Does nobody have an idea where to look?

I cant recall any more what was exact situation but as far as I remember I had same problem on 1010. Please check that part of the forum (wallaby), maybe it help.
A lot of pople had that with 1010, as far as I remember somehow we fonund that solution that worked for most of the people was to leave qtek on a dry place for a day and then charge it. That was the way I solved the problem second time and first time I patched it and it started to work (win 2003).
Heres the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=222433 maybe it help someone.

Another volume problem

I think this is a different problem to the ones already posted, I'm new to this so please bear with me.
The microphone on my XDA mini s is rubbish so instead I like to use the supplied headset which is fine. You could hear calls and music at the right levels and more importantly meant I wasn't shouting....
but now the volume coming through the headset is very very low, the slider on the headset is pushed to the max and the slider on the phone is also at the top. Without changing any settings playing music in Windows Media player is fine. Why would the voulme for calls suddenly be different to the volume levels in other apps?
Hope somewhere here can help.
Thanks

I have the same problem, since upgrading to 2.24 rom, over bt headset. Hope someone who knows more reads this too...

I haven't upgraded any roms, this problem has just appeared. Another part of this problem is the person I'm calling via the headset say they get an echo of their own voice. Anyone one got any ideas?
Thanks

Problem solved, it was sent back to O2 and they said they changed the circuit board!! Easy fix really!!! :?

man, i dont want to send mine in... i need it on a day-to-day basis for my business. how long were you without it?

Bluetooth Headset

i just managed to sort my bluetooth headset, which works fine but while playin music it ppauses then starts again, it happens every few mins sometimes but sometimes its all fine, can any one help me how can stop this form happening
also i have the same problem when calling out, i can hear the fone ring with my headset but sometimes i cant hear it ring but only can hear when the call goes to voice mail, but if i transfer the call to my fone i can hear it ring? any suggestion to why this is happening
thanks

First of all, which headset are you using?

if yours a wizard, it is simple
Just overclock to 260MHz and it is all nice and perfect..
Of course, some had issues with the headset model.. Mine is the itech S35.. no skipping issues but some quality issues..

can you tell me how to overlcok to 260mhz
am using jabra 320s

I am using OMAPscaler with Battery Status plugin
Look for OMAPscaler or OMAPclock in this forum... This app will allow you to overclock the OMAP processor used in the Wizard... The Battery Status plugin is a Today plugin which shows battery status plus the current clock speed on the Today screen. One tap on the plugin can revert the clock speed back to original or to the one you have set..
Hope this solves your issue, maybe, we can then discuss about the quality issue... high pitch ringing...

thanks for your help, i installed the overlcoking program u mentioned, n clock my wizard to 260mhz, it works fine but now it happens rarely but issue iis still there while listening to music
n the same problem still while calling out, no ringing tone but only hear when someone ansa the fone

Streaming Audio To Bluetooth W/o A2DP

So I have been trying to figure this out for a while. But I figured maybe we could get some community involvment with it.
If you weren't aware:
In 1.5 you could dial ** on your dialer, hit Call and it would redirect all audio (music, games, notifications) to your paired BlueTooth headset.
This no longer works in 2.1 - if you dial ** you get the 'p' and then when you hit call it almost immediatiely disconnects. But you can hear the audio for a split second in the BT.
If anyone can figure this out - or maybe dig a little deeper into Dialer.apk?
Maybe just a few people typing random stuff into their dialer to see if anything will work.
EDIT:
SOOOOOOOOOOOO
Watching LOGCAT when I dial this it calls a SpecialCharSequenceMGR
MY GUESS:
This one is different than the 1.5 dialer - Maybe tonight I cna merge with success....we shall see. Unless someone else wants to take a look before then.

my question would be whether the dialer in 2.1 got an upgrade. i guess it did since this feature doesnt exist (obvs), so any reason you cant flash on a dialer from 1.5?
i dont know much about how the internals of them work otherwise id help in the search, well after i finish this semester in two weeks. yep yep.
pardon me if my reply was a bit simplistic and if you tried that already, then sorry :/
good luck!

bump.
Updated top post.

Looking forward to your results. Hope you succeed.

On my Hero, long clicking on the device in Bluetooth Settings (in both 1.5 and 2.1), allows me to change the settings of that bluetooth connection including turning on and off both Phone and Media audio.
My only problem is that they have never played well together. If I'm playing media and a phone call comes in, the media properly pauses, but the phone either switches in on the phone's speaker or is totally silent causing me to miss the call.

Bump for the hell of it and a question.
Does anyone know where Dialer is in a 1.5 rom? I downloaded a fresh 1.1 to grab the apk and its not in system/app...wtf???

I think this might be because you have an A2DP capable headset. Mine doesn't give me this option.

Ive been looking
I also have been looking for somthing along these lines, as well as some other members. I started this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=660519 earlier trying to get help, there are actually a few bounties out now....Check it out

Ok so if any one who knows more linux than I do can try to figure out how to pipe the audio from one output to another it would be cool.
I was thinking it would be something lile MediaPlaybackService | AudioHardwareMSM72XX
But I am not sure if that is even remotely close. It doesn't work for me, I guess we just need to get the right services.

[Q] notification sounds over BT?

This has been a flaw in android since day one. You can't get actual notification sounds over BT. It is rumored to be running in 4.2. Is there truth to this? I'm still waiting for them to be available to get mine... but curious still.

just tested this and it is working for notifications. Although if it is a short notification sound, and it plays only once, it will not come through due to a slight delay between the phone and bluetooth device (but I can hear the headset turning on as if to play something and then turns back off). Works fine for longer notifications.

I get notification sounds over bluetooth when its connected in my car, always have even with ics.

I get notification over my Bluetooth headphones. No problem here.
Tho notification tend to stop my power amp player for some odd reason....

Just to make sure, toy guys are getting custom notification sounds right? Like per contact call or text notification sounds

This happens to me too. I thought it was just a bug on the ROM, but may be the app.

No ringtones thru Bluetooth Headsets

This is true you can hear notifications if they are long enough although the first second gets cut off due to lag i think...... but this is not the issue we were discussing on the google forum. CANT POST LINK SORRY............
The issue was that we cant hear our custom ringtones thru Bluetooth. I have the Galaxy Note and a Motorola HX550 and i can get all voice commands, and even hear notifications, and hear it read my text messages to me, but i cant tell whos calling when my phone is in my pocket on vibrate. I want to hear custom ringtones thru my bluetooth so i can tell whos calling. And i believe the same issue is with car bluetooth from what i read in the forum on google this forum started in 2009 about this no ringtone thru bluetooth, and there are still no fixes or apps that can let us decide what sounds go where.
For example it would be nice to have an app with check boxes available to make ringtones go to bluetooth, and notifications be muted, music go thru headfone jack, etc... This is a long time comming just read the forum and look at the start date 2009..... 4 years and noone fixed this issue.
XDA please help us even if its just a quick someting to get the ringtone to go thru bluetooth.... PLEASE someone!!! :crying:

That link you mentioned you can't post is the one in my sig.
Yeah posted that back in 09.... Recently some one official took "owner ship" of the thread and said it was fixed. However it isn't. Flip phones that existed before the smart phone era were able to play custom bluetooth sounds. Yet the most advanced phone to date can't.....
