faulty Speaker

Hi everyone
My o2 mini speaker dead last week , does not work at all , I installed the image but no diffrence , any suggestion ????

I also had a problem with the speaker. It occured after using the headset. The problem could be solved with plugging the headset again and detaching it with a quick movement (the phone was working cerrectly with the headset plugged). Don't know what is the reason, but sometimes after long use of the headset the problem turns up after unplugging the set. Try this, maybe it helps you too.

hi
i read about it somewhere in the forum.
its just because of a switch inside.
no need to worry about a major problem.
just like what Szilu said, plug it in and out firmly.
hope this helped!
regards
chester
-edit-
oh and its not due to long usage

i suffered this situation too...but O2 Centre can fix it within 1 day...real quick!
it's just because of the very FRAGILE audio jack that is installed in ur MINI. When u unplugged ur headset, the phone "doesn't know u unplugged the jack" so it assumes that it is still plugged in...so no sound will be channeled to the speakers...
try on...put in ur headset again, u will hear everything thru headset but not the speakers.
what u can do is VISIT O2 Customer Centre...small case...dun worry!

Same problem with me too
hi. i'm having the same problem - and - i don't have any JAM service centre near my place....or in the entire state....so i was planning to open it up and see if i can fix it from the inside...

Thanks for saving me a few hundred dollars, hassle, downtime
Wow, what a resource this has been! I came here months ago when I wanted to upgrade my system. Now it just saved me who knows how much in service costs. My speaker stopped working as well and I was sure my device was completely messed up until I checked this forum.
I tried what you suggested and it worked perfectly! I had to plug the headset out twice, I guess the first time I didn't do it fast enough. You really have to give a quick tug.
Thanks for the valuable advice!
P.S. Now I have lost my excuse to upgrade to the imate K-Jam. Oh well, all in good time. :lol:

Put my money where my comment is
I've made a donation to the forum to thank you for this helpful advice.
Ok, so I didn't donate as much as I would have paid a technician but...hey, it's something

Turning off BOTH buttons and screen?

Thanks to the A2DP addition to my Prophet, it does it. Even though i really lack AVRCP in TCPMP, it somehow works. But i've met the other(much worse for me!) problem - the ScreenGuard program i used to BLOCK BOTH screen and buttons with led me to HR on WM5. So i am asking if anybody knows any program that could switch both-buttons and screen off while listening to the music, it's made me so happy. Thanks for any replies

MortSaver
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14321

Hey, does this work with WM5?

yes. it works perfectly on my XDA Neo.

Mortsaver has a few bugs on certain devices. If you had difficulty, this is probably much better:
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/screenlockforpocketpc.shtml
Assign to hardware key and press, or run app, then hold keys 1 and 3 to unlock (usually calander and record buttons)

MortSaver doesn't deactivate with 2 buttons, only if i tell it deactivate with ONE button then it does but that's useless for the pocket carrying of the device. The second program offered to me here isn't confirmed to work on WM5 and the date on the site says late 2004, so i didnt try it out yet(maybe weekend) as i dont have time to do HR now.
UPD Ok, fised MortSaver by assigning it to Button 4(HOLD). Works nice, exactly what i was looking for. yeeha, welcome to 6,5 hrs of A2DP music of one battery charge. Damn, when will they start selling spare batteries?! My headphones last twice that time!

Ok, finally got the point. I just had the idea of Loox 720(just Pocket Pc) which stops playing as long as you press power off(standby) button. But the Prophet doesn't! And you could just lock the buttons with start-settings-buttons-lock. I love it!

ok, two things...
First, my prophet STOPS playing when I press the off button... I have no idea how yours continues playing...
Secondly, I don't know about you, but screen off, music on, drains my battery in more than 8hrs 40 mins, not so fast as you suggest. Although, not with bluetooth, so maybe this is the difference.
Oh, yea, spare batteries... There are some on ebay. One is actually 1800 mAH with no additional volume of the battery.

Weird, if I switch off the music stops because bluetooth switches off also... My 4500mah battery lasts me about 9 hours of MP3

I was talking 'bout A2DP mostly, dunno what will happen with WIRED headphones, so. Mine keeps working.
And as i'm in Oz i haven't seen any local batteries not even ones from HongKong, not sure tho if i'd like to order some from US or Uk cause could take a while and shipping could cost heaps. Not to mention the need to interact with some abroad seller if something goes wrong.

proporta.com do them, i think they ship worldwide

Couldn't actually find PROPHET batteries there. Seen any?

Use the first version of ScreenGuard called PM Lock, works like a charm.
Since Screenguard has known issues with WM5.0 I use Pm lock, awesome!

Prophet warming up + battery consuming very quick (update:RS w/SD adapter card issue)

Hello.
I have a prophet for about 3 years now and WM6 PT coffee room for about 6/7 months.
This weekend, after a great beach afternoon hearing mp3 with it, next day it starts to consuming battery very quickly and warming up very quickly when connected to USB (at both home and office links) and when talking on a call.
I would like to know if someone experienced same symptoms and if you think this is a battery issue or mobile hardware issue. As far as I can test, is not battery warming up, is front of the mobile, like lights/speaker surrounding zone, data display and buttons.
I don't know if I should waste money on a new battery or purchase another mobile.
Any help/experience will be appreciated.
Regards and many thanks.

battery issue~~~~
The reason is, music playback is a kind of " high " battery consumption,
old battery is not healthy enough to handle such continuous electrical flow,
so, getting tired faster then the youth....
e.g. I am always easy to get tired (old) but my daughter keeps jumping around (young)

use win 5

Thank you for your suggestions. Curiously, using wall charger, mobile does not seems to heat. Any way, after all night long connected to wall charger, it charges only 70%.
USB is not charge quick enough. It semms not charging by USB. I think I'll try to wait one more month until my cell network to have PDA to change by consumption points.
Regards.

No more suggestions or someone with same problem?

New battery...
Also, this isn't really "Prophet Mobile 6"...

Unfortunately is not battery issue. I've switch today to another battery and there is warming up when connected to PC USB (not at wall charger) and when talking on a call. BAttery consumption is very high (some times, others seems stable).
It is possible to be software?
Regards.

You could try a different ROM, but it may be the charging circuits in the device...
BTW, I'm moving this thread to the "Prophet" fora...

Yes, it's a prophet. And yes, with mobile 6 running.
If you own a prophet with a possible software issue and these 5 topics:
Prophet
Prophet upgrading etc.
Prophet accessories
G4
Prophet mobile 6
Where do you post something like this?
As moderator, feel free to move it to best topic.
Regards.

In fact, it seems it's really a Prophet + WM6 issue.
I moved to WM5 yesterday. No more problems. I've waited until today morning to use old battery layed on office. I've changed it 1 hour ago, connected to USB and no problems at all.
I'll move to WM6 again at the end of the day. Maybe some piece of software (some controller driver, or something). Don't know.
I'll post further details in order to help other users.
Regards.

I think it's more to do with Prophet... So I moved it
It sounded like more of a hard ware issue. The Prophet Mobile 6 is more for ROM development.
What WM6 ROMs where you using?

You right. It seems rs (with sd adaptoer) card. That's why it's so hot rounding speaker zone.
But it seems S200 hardware issue, not card, since I can read car perfectly from a SD USB pen. It's already causing some problems for about 6 or 7 months: I need to take SD out and put in again to read it. Seems S200 lost connection to card after some time.
I'll investigate further details when have some time

I am experiencing a very high battery drain now (5%/h). Possible reason: I've installed n my WM5 Opera Mobile 9.5, Music ID, Skype and QIP, which I've never done before. I've performed a hard reset an hour ago, let's see how it behave tomorrow.

audio adapter causes my tilt to redial???

Here's a puzzler for you ... I wanted an adapter to use normal headphones with my AT&T Tilt, so I bought this...
ADAPTER AT AMAZON
Got it in the mail today, plugged it in, works great, sounds great, until...
My wife's phone rings, she looks at it, and says "your phone is calling me".
It happens again a few more times, I unplug it and it stops happening. On further experimentation, it clearly just redials the last number dialed a few minutes after it is plugged in, and usually does so three times in quick succession, then waits for a while, then does it again.
Obviously I'll just return it or ask them to send me a new one if I can't figure anything out, but does anyone have any idea what could be causing this, or if there might be a simple way to fix it?
thanks...
[after posting noticed THIS THREADabout the same device I bought]

I have a theory...
if you are still having the same problem, that is..
I bought a set off eBay for my wife and I... not a dual unit, but just a mini-USBX to 3.5. It had the added benifit of a silver button to answer a call. It also re-dials the last number called if you click the button when the phone is not in a call...
The first pair that was sent to me did NOT work. They routed the audio just fine, but the button was in-active. So, I let them know and they sent me a new pair (what a great merchant!). The new ones work as designed.
My theory is that there is an internal failure or a short in your adaptor (or possibly a problem in your mini-USBX port, but un-likely). This short is causing your phone to dial constantly.
Still having problems?

yeah, some sort of short seems likely - I'll just try to get a new one sent to me

What could I do with this phone without a carrier?

Well... I recently changed carriers (from Bell to Rogers) and with the change I've upgraded to the HTC Magic. What I'm wondering is what to do with the old phone.
Hopefully someone here has some great creative idea.. other than giving it away or using it as a dedicated mp3 player or the like.
PS This ironically is my first post in this forum. Truly, from trolling these forums for over a year, my old phone went from kinda neat (stock) to being fully usable (NFSFAN's roms come to mind) to "look what i can do!" (android) all on the shoulders of your hard work. You all don't get enough credit so I just wanna say thanks to everyone here who kept this phone kick a$$ while I was using it. You guys rock!

second that. iGo 08 windows mobile, works fine without data.

I use my xv6700 as a permanent GPS with a bluetooth receiver. Can't wait for my NE2 at the end of the month. The 6900 will go on the dash and that means no more bluetooth connecting everytime I want GPS!
I 3rd the iGo as GPS.
When I start using the Vogue does anyone know a way to get the GPS to automatically connect, and iGo to initiate, say once my car starts? It's connected through my dash to a cigarette adapter splitter, which powers on when my car starts. So is there a program that will launch iGo on USB power? (Does iGo automatically configure the internal GPS itself?) And then when the power shuts off it would turn off the unit.
I guess I could leave the battery out, and maybe boot the whole unit everytime, and have iGo run at startup... but I think for trips it would be best just to leave the battery in and hold the GPS position for quick stops, so i wouldn't have to reroute if I turn the car off.
But then on my daily commute the Vogues battery's going to drain to zero after I park my car and then charge practically everytime i run the car... lowering my gas mileage and running my alternator extra... not that all the stuff i have plugged in doesnt do that already.
Of course, this is assuming im going to be lazy and never want to press a power button or close on the screen

my vogue auto-powers on when it receives power from the USB port, so if I shut it off after turning off the car, it will turn itself on when i restart the car. If I put the gps launcher that I used for iGo into the windows startup, it would've always brought me directly to the GPS screen.
Is it just my vogue that does this? I cannot turn it off when connected to USB power, it will just reboot instead.
EDIT: On my dedicated GPS unit, it automatically turns off if I disconnect power, with a warning box that pops up asking if I want to cancel... I suppose that could be written pretty easily...

just my .02 but you could always dl ppod app and pretend its an ipod! Nah, GPS is a better use. BTW i prefer tomtom 7.45
