Whenever I use my bluetooth headset (Motorola HS850) I can hear the person on the other end just fine but they cannot hear me unless I literally SCREAM. Since that's obviously not a decent workaround I've taken to not using my headset. I miss it and want to use it again.
I've searched the forums and read through this thread completely. I cannot find a single answer that everyone agrees upon.
Can someone please tell me how to increase the volume of the mic of my headset?
I'm runnning Mr Clean's 2.3 ROM (non-UK version).
I have the same problem with all 3 my BT headsets, my bluetrek G2, my i-tech stereo headset and my Sony Ericson BT Car Kit.
What is worse: even when using the the wizard as a normal phone people complain they can't hear me and I also have difficulty in hearing them. I am on the same rom as you.
Without the headset everthing's fine. I hear them, they hear me, no problems at all. Add the headset and the problems begin.

try to increase value of HEADSET_UPLINK_VOLUME registry key. it worked for me.
Thanks, that was the key that looked most promising in the thread I refered to in the OP.
I have in fact already tried changing that from 13 to DD but to no avail. What did you change it to?

i've changed it to DD. works with me..
Anyone else?
Hard to believe I'm the only one with this issue. Anyone else got a solution I can try?
(in other words: BUMP)
i have the same problem.. i jsut bought a Jabra JX10 after having a Moto BT850 and there's no volume for the BT headset.. highly annoying becuase noone can hear me.. i'm going to try the registry setting for the headset, but instead of DD i'm trying CC which worked wonders for using the regular mic.. we'll see
Hi guys
Did either of you get anywhere with this? My O2 Xda Mini S also has this issue. Geesh you'd think they'd test these things before releasing products!
I've tried setting the following to FF & CC under *all* 4 of the AUDIOGAIN folders:
EARPHONE_UPLINK_VOLUME
HEADSET_UPLINK_VOLUME
RECEIVE_UPLINK_VOLUME
I then rebooted, and things are no different. It's weird though because if you take off the Bluetooth (I use the Jabra BT500) and talk directly into the Mic, it sounds perfect - just not when worn on the ear! I thought my old BT200 was faulty due to this, which is why I wrongly bought a new one :roll: Thanks O2/HTC!
Come on guys, let's get this sorted for everyone. Who knows something and isn't telling?

I wish I did. Sadly I've given up and no longer use my BT headset. I miss it like crazy but like you, reached a dead end. If someone has a solution please, please share.
Looks like nobody is able to help us with this.
Is yours an O2 Xda Mini S?
If so have you reported it to O2 technical as I have?
What Bluetooth(s) have you tried?
I started this thread to identify working Bluetooth headsets, but so far only one reply. Maybe it's a brand-by-brand issue:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=330649#330649
O2 suggested replacing the phone against my wishes (as others have reported the volume issues and reg hacks). I will report back if I still have the problem with the replacement.
have you guys compared roms? I noticed two people were using the same rom? If everyone with this issue is using the same rom, then maybe that could be the underlying issue...? I'm using the Cingular 2.25 rom and never had this problem.
I was using O2 v2.21.4.101
ROM
I'm using Mr. Clean's 2.24a ROM and love it. I downloaded the ROM on the advice of a friend who uses the same ROM and successfully uses a BlueTooth headset so I'm reasonably confident that it's not the ROM.
re help
well I'm using a wizard with the cingular cf2 multi installer. the wizard is an imate kjam and hs850. after reading this thread u might want to try the settings for the mic agc. enable it and see. my problem is when ppl talk its low. I have to press the headset against my ear so I can hear them. as well as them hearing me. so we all in the boat. I will try the enable mic agc and report back.
cheerz
agc?
again
AGC? Anyone? Bueller?
AGC = Microphone Auto Gain Control.
It should be in the Settings under the System tab if your rom has it. Basically this only works with the built-in mic though and not wireless headsets.
No AGC doesn't help, but I suspect this is some issue to do with the level at which the Wizard uses echo cancellation. I think it is expecting a louder voice through the Bluetooth and as it doesn't hear a voice above the correct level, it barely transmits the audio.
I use the Jabra BT500 and if I take it off my ear and talk normally into the mic hole, callers can hear me really really well. It's just in the 'on-ear' position that it doesn't work.
*Update* I have received a replaced Xda Mini S, and tried it with its original v1.x ROM and the new v2.x ROM. Both have the same problem. So, I have tried:
Different Jabra headset
Different Xda Mini S
Different ROM
Changing all the registry settings as per the other thread
...all in different combinations
I therefore suspect it may simply be that the Wizard is incompatible with Jabra bluetooth headsets.

Motorola HS850. I used to have a Motorola phone and a Pa1m0ne Tungsten T3 but decided that I'd rather carry a single device. The HS850 worked wonderfully with the Motorola phone and I really miss having a BT headset.
Mine should be arriving tomorrow
What are you guys using for phone calls: the included wired earbud, bluetooth headset or just the speakerphone?
Do most bluetooth headsets out there work with the included bluetooth stack?
Thanks!
Bluetooth all the way!
I am using the Plantronics Voyager 510 headset works the best for me great battery life, volume etc.
Bluetooth 99% of the time, rarely use the speakerphone. (Which does, however, work well.)
I use the BlueAnt V12, which has a vibrate feature... which is userful since the phone doesn't have one built-in. It also has an LCD, which I find useful. Displays status, phone numbers, but no names. But I seem to know most numbers, and if I don't that's also informative.
BlueAnt V12 has also a great price, around $50.
Jawbone Bluetooth works great.
I have no problems with the Jabra BT800, which also has vibrate, lcd and 6 individual ringtone settings plus the one from the Ameo. Works flawlessly.

Excellent!
So if my BT headset goes dead, the x7500 will continue fine as a phone? Will the speakerphone be automatically activated whenever I initiate/receive a call?

If there is no headset connected wired/bluetooth speakerphone is automatically activated for a call.

Yes. It takes about 5 seconds for the X7500 to realise there's no active BT connection and reroute to the speakers.

Thanks for the warning. I am just about to try 1.6 on my Jawbone.
Found this comment here - http://www.wmexperts.com/reviews/bluetooth_headsets/review_aliph_jawbone_bluetooth.html
Try creating the registry key:
HKLM\software\microsoft\voice command\speech\BluetoothPTTDelay
value = dword: 2000
Stop and start Voice Command.
I have found that this makes Voice Command 1.6 work great with the Jawbone even in the noisiest enviornments. This will open up the audio channel for 2 seconds before starting a voice command interaction as opposed to the 400ms that is the default. I think possibly the Jawbone is adapting to the ambient noise during this time. This seems to make a big difference though.
Let me know if this helps as my Jawbone will be arriving shortly.
Anyone used a stereo headset and liked it? I wouldn't mind having one that would go one ear for calls and a simple way to use both for listening to music/movies.

Why do you need to go through all athat gymnastics? I just installed voice command and it worked with Jawbone without any issues. I can't complain about battery life because I use my jawbone and Athena as regular phone, even in my open office. Maybe total 2 hours +- 30 minutes. Don't need 6 hours talk time yet I have never run out of battery yet. I charge both devices every night.
My U1000 has been upgraded to WM6. Everything goes smoothly. But I discovered my Jabra 250 bluetooth headset only responds to the phone function of the device. The music or voice from TextSpeech Pro does not come from Jabra 250 but from the speaker of the device. Does anyone has the same problem? Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thank you mojo2000, it is the exact software that I have sought out. It works on U1000 like a charm.
After install this app, the buttom on the blue tooth headset to activate the voice command has disappeared, and the function to activate the voice command can not revive even though to uninstall the app and soft rest. I think the function to activate the voice command has to come back with a hard reset May be Jabra 250 is an old model which I bought it about 3 years ago. Hi, friends, whether newer models of Jabra have this problems or not. If newer model does not have this problem, may be it's time for me to buy newer model of Jabra.

I use the Jawbone and tested with it this morning. While the program is active, the button press does not activate MS voice command. De-activated and immediately tried again without success(pop-up came but sound was not heard and command was not taken by VC), but after about 10 seconds tried again and VC workd again with the program exited.

The forum http://www.trianglepowers.com/PPC/Posts.aspx?TopicID=23 has received a lot of reports saying that this app breaks the ceberon speed dial program which is embeded in U1000. I wonder whether there is any blue tooth headset can transmit all sounds from the handset to the headset without installing the blue tooth audio app?

Short Review of my Jabra BT 250v
Review (one day later) as promised here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1450165#post1450165
Greetings,
I have reviewed the Bluetooth vs. AT&T Tilt vs. Microsoft Voice threads, and cannot find a specific answer, so I am going to try to ask a narrow question here ...
... does anyone who has (i) AT&T Tilt with (ii) the AT&T ROMs, (iii) Microsoft Voice, and (iv) a Bluetooth Headset have all 4 working perfectly together? I need to buy a bluetooth headset, and the forums are littered with problems with Voice announcing, or problems answering the phone thru the headset, etc.
That's why I am just hoping to hear from someone who has all 4 of these things ... that work together. Any recommendations for the bluetooth headset are appreciated.
Thanks
My Tilt worked great with the stock ROM, MSVC 1.6.17913 and my BlueAnt Z9 worked flawlessly including announcing calls over BT.
Thank you!
I will look into the BlueAnt Z9. Thank you so very much for responding.
Of course ... if anyone else has the combination of stock tilt/voice/bluetooth, please let me/us know what other adapters might also work.
I did not have any issues with the Motorola H700 and MSVC 1.6.17913 on my Tilt.
H700
Andre - I recall seeing some mention of the H700 on other threads. Can you (please) confirm that you can answer the phone thru the bluetooth, and that call announce works?

I keep my unit on vibrate and ring and this is the way I tested it. I first placed a call using my office phone to my mobile handset in the "vibrate only" and "vibrate and ring" modes. When my mobile handset was on vibrate the notification came through to my headset with audible tones and my mobile vibrated, but no voice announce from MSVC was heard. When I switched the handset to normal vibrate and ring mode (assume this works on ring w/o vibrate as well) MSVC announced the caller through the headset and nothing audible was heard through the handset. I would say this headset is 100% compatible with the Tilt and MSVC.
Bought the Z9
My Z9 arrived today, and it does answer the phone, engage in voice command, etc.
Pretty nifty (but expensive) bluetooth.
Thanks!
Glad you like it. I hope you give us a nice reveiw after you play with it for a while. I am contemplating moving up because I have had this same type of headset for years now HS810, HS820, HS850, and the H700.
I've got AT&T Tilt, Stock ROM, MS Voice Command 1.6.17913 and Samsung WEP200 all working together.
Also, in MS Voice Command, there are options to select the source the phone calls are made from.
Go to "Start" > "Settings" > "Voice Command"
Click. "Notifications" button and the options that come up are...
-Announce notifications using Bluetooth hands free only
-Announce notifications using Bluetooth hands free if available
-Announce notifications through device speaker or wired headset only.

i still cant get it all to work on my tilt like my 8125...8126 was the bomb with vc. tilt is so nice but not with vc
I tried out a plantronics 665 the seemed to work well, but I didn't care that much for the headset. Returned it and got a nxZen nx9000, and it doesn't seem to work with voice command. Not sure why one works and not the other. Anyone care to speculate, or state with authority, why the 2nd headset doesn't work? Thanks.
Anybody knows how Logitech Mobile Pro Headset works with this combo?
Thanks

Is the Jawbone working with all this? I broke my last Jawbone, but would definatele get another, assuming it would work.
My Jawbone works with my Tilt with the stock ROM. Make sure you install VC before you pair your phone with the headset. If you already paired, delete the pairing and re-pair after the install.
Thank you much.
Now I've got another issue, somebody said "BLUEant" and I saw went looking... I like Blue
Trying to decide between the Z9 or another Jawbone. Comparitively they're about the same with the Z9 being the smaller and more "attractive" of the two, and it also costs alot less. Not to mention it's firmware can be update.
But the big plus for me is that it's BT 2.0 BT 2.0 + Firmware upgradeability make it a serious contender in my book. The Jawbone is in it's prime... whereas the Z9 could get better.
Can't decide at the moment...
I also have the Tilt and Jawbone working together but does anyone know if it is possible to issue the voice commands via the headset. I can only talk into the phone to make it dial a name and then the call is directed to the bluetooth headset.
has anyone got this to work all through the headset.
I couldn't imagine it not being possible... I managed to use the Jawbone with the RAZR V3 in or to use voice dialing and it worked decently.
Jawbone and voice dial
Have had a Jawbone paired with my tilt since I bought it. Works perfectly except calls are not announced through the bluetooth, but important e-mail subjects are read through the headset when they arrive.
The Jawbone is sometimes awkward because it gets loose on your ear/cheek if you move your head alot and then sounds like your talking through a long tube.
Thinking about trying blueant, but haven't heard any glowing reports yet.

There are plenty of fantastic reviews for the BlueAnt Z9. It seems to me to be just the same as when I was researching the Jawbone. You'll either love it, or you'll hate it.
The big plus to me with the BlueAnt is that it's warranty is fantastic (2 years compared to the Jawbone's very specific 1 year warranty), it's BlueTooth 2.0 Stereo (should result in better sound quality as I plan to use my Kaiser as my MP3 player as well), and the big plus for me is that its firmware can be updated. Thanks to the firmware, the Z9's limitations are moreso a limit of it's firmware than it's hardware, whereas the Jawbone is fixed.
With that said, I loved my Jawbone... and I'll still be using my current one while it's still functioning (it's falling apart... Jawbones aren't very well built I'll say that) and comparing it to my Z9 when it gets here.

Hi URPREY - I have the same setup (with the official ATT ROM update 1.62.502.0) working, but instead of announcing the callerid info, I'm hearing "please answer or not at home" through my Blueant Z9 via my Tilt. Any ideas?
Can anyone tell me if they have a bluetooth headset that REALLY works with Voice Command 1.6? Meaning that it operates through the bluetooth headset as designed. I see a lot of posts from months ago without anything conclusive.

I don't know what posts you have been looking at. MSVC working or not is hardly related to which BT headset you have. Granted some headsets have better noise cancellation, and thus recognition, then others. But otherwise, it's generally a software issue. Why don't you read some recent posts on how to get MSVC working...like the one in my sig.

No offense, but the Jawbone doesn't solve any issues with MSVC working. There are dozens of threads on here with the pros and cons of the JB headsets, and a survey on whether or not someone thinks it is the best BT headset is not needed in the thread.
The JB will "really work" with MSVC as much as the Z9 will, as much as any $20 BT headset will. The current limitations of MSVC are not due to the headset.
Bluetooth Headset Clarified
Bengalith -
Thanks for the wealth of information. I'll read through it carefully. I was mislead by all the posts that talked about what worked and didn't work depending on what headset they had. I guess it was like comparing apples and oranges (i.e. different ROMs, MSVC SW versions etc.) Thanks for setting me straight!
