hi ...
My Elfin behaves weird. When the headset is plugged my phone redials the last dialed number from time to time. Usually about three to five times an hour!
Sometimes I hear a few error-beeps when it happens. It doesn't matter if the screen is locked or off.
I assume it has something to do with the voicedial function although i never used or configured it. I did a hardreset but the problem is still there.
I use the original firmware (Vodafone branding, German).
Does anybody know how to uninstall this voicedialing thing or has another idea about the cause of the problem.
Thanks in advance!
Pushing the headset button twice calls the last called number. maybe yours is malfunctioning?
Ahh! I think you’re right. My headset button seems to be damaged. When I press it nothing happens. Seems to be a defective contact or something.
I searched for "headset button" and found some threads about remapping it. Most of them say you have to remove a key in the registry first.
So I deleted the "Path" value in HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand.
I had no unwanted dialing so far. Hope the prob is solved.
Thanks a lot!
It happens again :/ .. any idea?
/edit
I finally bought an adapter and new earphones. works fine so far.

Hi,
I have a couple of questions:
1) I have a default corporate install 02 Exec and a Motorola BT H3 headset.
When the devices are all paired up, I can receive incoming calls no problem. But when I try and initiate a call from the headset by tapping it, I sometimes get a responding beep from the voice dialling software, other times not. When I don't get an audio response, the device just doesn't seem to even notice and nothing changs on the screen.
I have tried all the usual, re-pairing, reboots etc, but no luck.
I also can't pin down exactly when it does it. Sometimes I can start a call when the device is in 'standby' ie if I haven't used it for a while, other times not.
My next step is to find someones phone and test it with that and see if it is the headset or the exec.
2) My backlight does not come on when I tap the screen or a key despite having ticked the correct setting to enable this. Each time I have to press the power button.
Has anyone else had similar problems?
thanks,

Ok,
have now done a complete hard reset and a new corporate install and the BT headset is stll not working 100% of the time.
I have tested it on another phone and it works a treat there, so it is not the headset.
thanks,
/Mad
Scrap the below info. This only works if the Exec has been off for a short time. Anything longer than a couple of minutes and it doesn't switch on with a tap.
I have O2 swapping it out over the next couple of days. Let's see if these issues are widespread. but judging by the responses to my pst, I take it I am the only one having trouble?
/Mad
Ok,
With problem 2) I have found that if I do a hard reset and install as O2 rather than corporate, when I open up the device in clamshell mode the backlight comes on and if it is already open, a tap on the screen or key does switch on the backlight.
So, this particular 'issue' appears to be related to the type of install. That is it works in O2 but not in corporate mode.
Still no joy with the intermittant BT headset voice dialling.
Either way, I have O2 swapping it out over the next couple of days. Let's see if these issues are widespread
/Mad
Last night I updated to the most recent O2 ROM (as per their website) and now...
it appears that the first time I press the BT headset button, nothing happens, but then on the second press it brings up the voice dial software.
I have had a damn good trawl through all the other posts about voice dialling and it seems that the first press connects the headset to the exec and the next button starts the app.
Is this correct? Anyone else had similar problems?
thanks for your time.
/Mad
I had similar behaviour when I used my SonyEricsson HBH65 headset with my Exec. When I bought a Jabra BT800 suddenly my Bluetooth experience was transformed, and the combination works perfectly.
I think the latest models of headset work much better with the Exec than those a year or two old.
Maybe this helps. Hope so.
Thanks for your reply.
I took my BT headset back to the shop today and got them to try a jabra (don't know which version) it still wasn't bringing up the voice dial software every press.
Spoke to O2 support today and they admitted that BT is flakey on the Exec and that it is a known fault with HTC.
Oh well, at least it isn't just me!

Hi everybody,
I have this one problem. After 2 days of usage, my Hermes suddenly went mute. No vibration or screen click can be heard even If I changed it to the loudest. I missed a lot of calls and sms due to this problem. The only way to solve this problem that I employ is by soft-reset my device.
I really hope somebody can help me tracking to root-cause of this problem and in the same time providing or proposing a solution to it.
Kindly help. Regards
morisa

did you unmute it from the speaker icon ?
if you have a backup restore it if not do a hard reset just make sure you backup your contacts/ stuff first
Phone goes mute
I think I'm having that problem too. Just out of the blue it happened. Didn't install anything extra the whole week. But when someone calls it rings, and if it's missed, it doens't play the miss call tone... or any other sound in that case.

Hi,
I noticed that the problem started to happen when I long-press the "Green" Button to activate the speakerphone during a call instead of pressing the "Speaker On" menu on the screen.
I've no idea why but maybe that could be the problem. Presently, I have to press that "Speaker On" on-screen menu to activate the speakerphone to avoid this problem.
Maybe other users can confirm this problem.

Got the same issue here and I don't use speakerphone
my pda´s auto mute so
No sound although speaker icon no in mute
I have the same problem. Out of the blue no sound is heard at all. I tried changing volume but it did not do any thing. Had to shut down (not soft reset) and restart device and it works fine. This happen several times and I can figure out why it does this.
If anyone can help...

Same here, I'm using a X01HT Softbank variant TYTN flashed with the latest HTC WWE rom and after about like 12 hours of use the device goes mute for some reason, making calls it works perfectly but playing sounds or ringers the speaker does not work. Anyone have any ideas? I'm thinking of maybe re flashing the device since most of my information is on my storage card. I'll see if that fixes the problem :-\.
same problem here....
Same here. Only a reboot fixes it.
I have the same problem but it only happens when using the speaker phone. After the call ends, then there are no more system sounds etc. I then have to soft reset, which pisses me off as I use the speaker phone plenty in the car.
If i dont use the speakerphone, then there is no problem. Kind of strange....
Has anyone got any ideas on how to solve this?
I have same problem. I thought it was software related, but seems that it is caused by the speaker phone. I had the exact same problem with my old IPAQ 6515. It must be a software issue with WM although the 6515 had WM2003SE and the TYTN has WM5 so I do not know. Really annoying though as I use this phone for an alarm and it never goes off because the sound turns off sometime while I am sleeping - Uhggggg!
I also have the problem. Only a Softreset brings the speaker back to live.
my new problem...misery loves company
same here; curiously 2 pages into this thread and there are no real solutions.
I have solved the problem on my TyTN.
The Midlet Manager is the root cause for the Phone Mute issue on my device.
lol I just started getting this issue out of the blue after a couple of months and I didn't install anything :|
yeah nothing but a soft reset brings the sound back
Happens to me too. Strange coincidence - I've just checked my m3100 and it's giving me the silent treatment now. Time for another soft reset
I never use Midlets, so that rules the above theory out for me. However my battery was almost dead. I was using WiFi at the time, which turned itself off when the warning notifications popped up. Maybe when the battery drops below an acceptable level it turns the sound off to save power, but doesn't restore it after charging?
nope it happens to me even if my battery is fully charged
this used to happen on my i-mate PDA2k, and my JasJar (Universal) running both WM5, AKU3.2, 3.3, 3.5 and unfortunately even WM6 :S
Hi All,
After checking and testing the phone. I found out that the only way for me to solve the muting problem is by silencing the notification sound when a new email arrives. Since I have an unlimited EDGE/GPRS, my push mail is working around the clock. Thus, by not having the new email sound notify, the muting problem gone. This is caused by the notification event locking up the sound and not releasing it even after I read the mail. Previously the only way to resolve is by soft-reset but now, no more.
I have no idea whether this work or not for others but you might try and post your solution here.

I have a german version of X1 , almost everyting works fine but with a little problems. i am a 3-year WM user and know the basic stuffs of this OS.
but the worst thing is the mic on headset dosen't work at all, the button and the speaker are good.
dose anyone have the same problem with me? and what should i do?
thanks
On my phone the headset jack needed a really hard push to go all the way in. Make sure you really have pushed it as far as it goes. But I guess you already tried that, huh.
Should be an easy thing to get replaced at the store though.
Returned my first X1 because of a not-working button >and< microphone of the headset (ordered via internet). The replacement phone had the same problem.
In the accompanying shop, which I finally visited, also a third phone did not work. They tried a bit more when I left and discovered that it can work if you connect the headset >when< a call is received...
Also, they reported that it is not a know problem for the X1.
Well, with three not-working phones it seems to be a problem!
Maybe a headset problem instead?
my headset doesn't work if the phone is on vibrate or no sound mode. If I change the phone to normal then the headset works. Touch cruise headset works on vibrate mode. I am not sure if other people have the same situation. I only the put phone in vibrate mode at work so if I want to use headset I just change phone to normal, life goes on.
same problem
By using voice recording it uses the mic from the phone. i think it's a problem of the software. It does not switch... maybe a registry issue...
i have the same issue, and its a hardware problem, because if you plug it a couple of times, sometimes works and sometimes dont...
someone has found a solution to this?
Hello XDA crew,
I have some problems and I hope you can help me with that. Xperia phone is really cool but one thing for me is really annoying. And that is the calling performance of Xperia.
These are the main problems:
1. When I plug in the headset, the ringtone plays both on the headset speakers and the phone speaker. Is there a way to let the ringtone play only on the headset speakers?
2. When I plug in the headset, the microphone of the headset isnt active. Only the microphone of the phone is active. So, people can not understand me when I speak to the headset microphone. But they can hear me when I talk to the microphone of Xperia.
These are some other problems but not so important for me:
3. The volume of the call is too high. Even when I set the volume low, people can hear the person who I am talking with.
4. Microfone of Xperia get active after for about two seconds when I answer the phone. So, I have to wait for about 2 seconds to say 'hi'.
5. The answer button of the headset doesn't work.
Can someone help me with this problems or just one of these problems?
Note: I have hardreset my phone two times and reinstalled the ROM software one time via SEUS. I didnt get any result. I have the original Vodafone R2 software.
I have the 2 second delay too. Using gtrab wm6.5 custom rom

Unplug the headphone jack during a call and plug again (during the same call) and press the answer button. It will terminate the call and start working (until your next xperia soft reset). Double-press the answer button when idle, and it will repeat the last call. If that doesn't work, try it again and again after the first trick of plugging/unplugging and it will work on your 4th/5th try. From then on, all answer/hangup/'repeat last call' functions will work. Until you soft reset of course.
I'm calling a toll free (service center) number to do the trick whenever I have to use the handsfree.

It works (on a WM6.5 rom also)
Nice little trick there, thanks
Tnx for the trick vanauberjim. So it seems more like a hardware problem. Anyway, I will try it tomorrow. Hope that the main problems also be solved like this.
Both 2. and 5. get fixed with the trick, but I just hope SE will find a permanent fix. It's not a solution to unplug and replug the headphones during calls.
My question is: are we the only 3 persons that have this problem? Is this problem originally caused by the headset hardware? Is it caused because the plug is so tight that it severely scratched the middle ring in the headphone jack and it can't always make a connection with the middle ring (the microphone one)? How many people have this problem?
Have the same problem
I do have the same problem and workaround works for mee to but it is annoying!
@vanauberjim, I can ensure you that we are definitely not the only one with these problems. I saw on a popular dutch forum that a lot of people have exactly the same problem.

Have you tested with another hands-free set ? is it the phone or the hands-free causing the problem?
I have send my hands-free to SE yesterday so they will check it and if it was ok I will send the phone back.
About 3 seconds of delay when I answer , I haven't done anything yet , is it a bug , I mean do we have this problem or every X1 out there.
Ok, post back soon because if it's faulty hands free we only have 6 months warranty on handsfree (and battery) and time's running out. The phone has 2 years warranty so we have plenty of time for its handset's faults.
I got the same problems, is annoying BTW ... and about the trick mmm quiet annoying as well, but if is the only way to make it work, no more than just do it.

I think it's a phone problem. I use the original headset and sometimes when I plugin the headset the phone calles the person who I have called earlier. Now I have another stupid problem. When I plugout the headset, the phone still thinks that the headset is plugged in on the phone. I see the headset icon on the phone and when I call someone, I cant hear and speak with the person. Only way I can do this is to plugin the headset again and speak that way. When I plugin and plugout for several times, the headset icon dissapears and I can make my call again without a headset. I think that alle these problems are because the jack plug doesn't function good.
Another issue. I call it issue because it's not a problem, but just a stupid choise of sonyericsson:
- Some soundnotifications during calling like 'busy tone' or 'waiting tone' plays from the main speaker of the phone in instead of the calling/ear speaker. This way, all the people who are sitting next to you hears that the person who you are calling is busy
It will be for the 4th time that I go to the shop with a problem. So I will ask to the shopper if I can choose another phone. I'm thinking about the Touch Pro 2. I'm sick of the problems of Xperia. Don't think that HTC will have the same problems.
Hey there,
I have seen connectivity issues, but not this particular issue so...here goes:
This problem has been sporadic for me, but recently lasted for the past week.
I can connect my bluetooth earpiece to my HD2 just fine.
If someone calls I can hear it through the phone and pick up.
I can have a conversation through it.
What I cannot do at this time (and could a few days back) is press the button on my earpiece, hear the "blip" which prompts me to speak, say call [insert name], hear the name repeated back to me, I confirm and away we go!
If I am looking at the phone while I am doing this the microphone symbol will show up when I press the button.
If I then say, "Call home" it will show the contact page for "home."
If I then say "yes" it will dial "home."
All of this is done with no sound confirmation.
This is obviously not good for hands-free driving!
I have changed no settings and yes, it has been working with all ROMs, but as I noted, I have had this problem sporadically and now it is going on a week since I had this functionality.
Yes, I have done several soft resets, turning bluetooth on and off as well as unpairing and redetecting the device.
Any thoughts?
OK...it just worked for me.
Like I said...sporadic.
The only thing I can think of that I did differently was that I turned on bluetooth then turned off the phone (just clicked the power key, did not power down) then put on my bluetooth and once paired I tried the function and it worked.
The last few times I had not clicked the power key as I was waiting for the pairing and then attempting to use the function immediately thereafter.
hmmmm...
I don't know if this counts as a "fix" yet.
