Anyone have a problem like this:
I did a had reset but it still is doing this-
The speaker plays my ringtones out loud even when my headphones are plugged in!!
Thanks,
Daniel
Mine has always been like that, whicever ROM I used.
Really????
My old XDA never did this...
So if i'm listening to music I run the risk of having my ringtone play out loud??
Is the only solution to change my ring prefrences to vibrate only when i'm listening to music (since the phone volume itself cannot be muted)??
When I preview the sound it doesnt play out loud
I don't have such problem with original headset. But, if I use bluetooth headset it happens.
So this is not normal....
How do I fix it?
I tried a hard reset- didn't work!!
Playing the ringtone out of the speaker even though the headphones are in is normal with most if not all phones. The headphones are only to listen to music and calls.
If you had the phones in but not in your ears and the phone rang only in the headphones how would you hear it?
Why would your headphones be plugged in if you are not listening to music?? And to answer your question- you would know the phone is riging by it vibrating.
Anyways- many people told me this is not normal...so there must be a way to change it.
Also, when I am in silent or vibrate mode and I accidentaly or even purposely push my Voice Command button the beep sound will come out of the speaker-
It will change the sound icon from Vibrate or Silent to the regular icon but will stay in silent/vibrate mode-
Is this normal??

Not sure about the voice command question but with regards "WHy would you have your headphones in if you're not listening to music" the answer is to use the phone handsfree.
Whether this is in the car (law over here) or while in the office a lot of people over here use headphones instead of holding the phone to your ear, some believe that the safer or healthier. No real proof but handsfree is popular.
Saw this same post on the Neonode forum and the SE's do the same so I presumed normal and as I say if you were using the headphones as handsfree if actually a good thing. Yes the vibrate would tell you but say you're at someone else's desk and can't hear the phone vibrating across your desk (hell of a vibrate really isn't it).
Anyway, hope that answers the headphones question
So why did some people say this doesn't happen to them?
That's an unanswerable question. It could be any number of reasons and going on the state of play with the ROMs is possibly down to this.
Going through the forums its amazing the number of people that have different problems with apparently the same phone.
I have the exact same problem, and am still looking for a solution.
The most irritating thing is that when I turn all ringtones off (only vibrate on) and I receive an incoming call, the sound that is currently playing (windows media player or some other program) is played for a fraction of a second thru the external speaker (the program pauses the mp3 playback on an incoming call, but this happens to late). Because of this it's impossible to use the phone for MP3 playback in a place where it's important that no sound is produced.
It would be really nice to completly turn the external speaker off when a headset is plugged in (i find it really strange this isn't the case right now).
It would be nice if someone found a solution for this (in my opionion) huge problem.
Yea,
I found this is irritating too,
I am using pocketMax Phonealarm
and mute:
- system volume
- phone volume
but max the call volume ( as I think that's required to answer a call)
I plugged my headset (using 2.5mm to 3.5mm jack) and listen the music using winamp & increase the volume, apparently the system volume is increased too ==> I think that's the reason why everytime:
- incoming phone call
- any reminder
is sounded in the headset too.... totally [email protected]@[email protected]#
Any solution for this????!!!!!
Is the built in speaker loud enough to avoid compulsory use of headphone?
It's loud enough to watch scary movies while travelling by bus (tested by myself).
But neighbours wouldn't be happy, sure
So I use BT-stereo headset.

When you answer phone call without keyboard and earphone, is there an easy way to tune down the volume of the speaker as well as to answer/reject/terminate call?

There is a volume slider thingy on side by joystick, which alters phone volume when you are in a call. If you are looking at the screen you can use the phone screen to deal with calls. If you on a Bluetooth headset then I guess it depends on its functions. e.g. if you can see the caller id etc.
Hope this helps

Thanks. I guess it solves the problem of excessively loud sound and privacy problem when answering without a headset.
Another question is, when a call comes in, will the screen automatically presents you with option to accept or reject the call, if I do not want to use any bluetooth headset.
Quality
Whats the actual quality of the speaker like? Is music still dreadfully 'tinny' and without bass?
Its very tinny and low on bass. I tend to use it in the bathroom listening to streaming radio whilst I'm in the shower, and its more or less hearable, although the shower is like a dribble of p155 so the ameo's not got much to fight with. I'd prefer better, but its good enough.
As an aside point, whats the deal with everyone wanting to play their music/movies to everyone else in a public place? Every mobile device I've heard seems to have very tinny music playback - if u want to enjoy ur music fine, but use headphones where you can get much better sound quality, and you can filter out all the other environmental music. Just seems crazy to me.
Our HD2 can not do Two way Call Recording by default.
However:
rule 1: Samsung Omnia II Can do Two way Call Recording by tweaking registry
rule 2: Samsung Omnia II have a Hacked Sense ROM
now...
If Samsung Omnia II + Hacked Sense ROM + Two way Call Recording Registry Tweak
can do two way recording
Then
WM 6.5 disable HD2 two way call recording on purpose OR HD2 missing some system file OR HD2 need to replace some system file from Samsung Omnia II ?
ELSE
The HD2 Sense disable two way call recording on purpose? How about Samsung Omnia II disable sense UI, can it do two way recording ?
I don't have Samsung Omnia II, can not do the test...
Please help if you can.
htc disabled it because they don't agree with silent recording (which has legal implications in some countries).
If someone have both phone, they can confirme that.
Mine works!

My HD2 DOES record both ways when using Resco Audio Recorder. My outgoing voice is crystal clear, while the incoming voice is just slightly more quiet (but very easily understood).

The easiest way to test if its actually recording properly or just picking up the mic through the speakers is to try recording whilst the headset is plugged in. If the incoming recorded voice level is the same with the headset plugged in (and in your ear so there is no chance feedback) then you have an element of proper 2 way recording.
If I have the time I may flash some different bases and see how they compare.

I'll try plugging in a headset and let you know. Give me a few hours. Guests just arrived.

I was wrong!

I was wrong! I connected a headset, made a phone call, and ONLY my outgoing voice was recorded. The incoming "caller" was NOT recorded.
Forgive me.

are you really sure? there are a number of ongoing threads about this and the consensus seems to be that when you test it, you make a call to your landline in a nice quiet room, and its actually picking up there other end through your mic.
try starting to record, then call your mobile so you get an engaged tone, maybe have tv in background, when you listen back, not a trace of engaged tone.

Can you repeat the test from post5?
Mark.
RiAySoft makes Auto Phone Call Recorder (v.1.30) which I works really well on my HD2. Incoming call recording is direct and doesn't rely at all on the microphone. I had to pay a few bucks for it though but it's well worth it if you need it. Link below. http://riaysoft.perso.sfr.fr/en/?Windows_Phone:Phone_Call_Recorder
doesn't mention hd2 in compatibility list, have you tried it with the headset?
Yes, please plugin your 3.5mm Headset which you use to listen to music,
and make a call, see if both side is recored,
if yes, great news.
Try the free demo!
I don't know what I've done with the original headset I use my own earphones but go to the download site and just install it. It's an unregistered version with some reduced functionality I believe but it ought to be enough to test the earpiece out.

same problem.it's picking it up through the mic. with the head set theres nothing from the other end, and to be fair this end is pretty faint through the wired mic.
the open mic is pretty good,I can see how you wouldthink it's working correctly.
Try covering the mic
Here's what I did before:
Try getting someone to help you make a test call without the earpiece in. Next try covering the mic while the other party is talking and you won't hear the difference when you play back the recorded file. On the other hand if you were to cover the mic whilst you were speaking into the hd2 you'd get an audible drop in volume.
I have also considered the fact that the mic might be picking up vibrations through the phones body (this would in reality be very unclear because phone mics are designed to pick up modulations in air waves which move much slower than they do through solids). Another quick test to prove this would be to compare the relative volumes of recorded audio using both different programs. Unless ACR has code artificially reducing the volume of incoming sound (doubt this) then both software should demonstrate similar results.
My guess is that the earpiece might require yet another set of code to enable recording of the rerouted audio.
my take is that it is carrying through the body to the mic, my reasoninhg being that even if you cover the earpiece, the ambient sound of the caller is still pretty clear.it almost sounds like its coming out of the back speaker too. maybe the rigid glass makes the sound carry without too much distortion.
someone will figure it out, its not s priority for me,I can wait.
After doing the upgrade to r2ba026 I notice when I use my earphones I am only getting sound from one side, not both.
Has anybody else gotten that?
I'm listening music via two earpieces of my earphone after the r2ba026 right now.
Made a phone call to check if that functions correctly and it does.
So no problem here.

Ok i figured it was my headphones but i when i call someone with my headphones i can hear the other person but the other person cant hear me when i speak through the phone mic.
Is it because im using a generic headphone that does not have a built in mic?
Can i ask which earphones u have through which u can make a call aswell?

If the headphone doesn't have a mic or mouth piece and your phone is in your pocket or purse, the person on the line won't be able to hear you.
Even if you have the phone mic near the mouth while using earphones without a built in microphone you cannot talk.. The phone wants headsets either with built in mics or no headsets atall...

Try using a different headphone to see if this is nothing something in the headphone.
I am using stock ginger unrooted android and i am becoming more and more annoyed with minor problems it presents. I am really very surprised to encounter this kind of design flaws in htc device...
Now i am not sure if it's hardware or software limitation, but i discovered that ringtone volume for phones loudspeaker will be the same as for earphones one. This is stupid, as i have read peoples complaints about phones behaviour while listening music and phone suddenly ringing aloud, this might be uncomfortable, for example in the library or public transport. But with me it's even more stupid, because i keep my phone on vibration alert all the time - i don't need it to ring. So i keep it in my pocket, and listen to some tunes, and then i notice missed calls... no ringtone, music still plays... how stupid is this?
I gave a try to "audio concert", sound profile manager which adjusts phones loudness when it detects connection/disconnection of headphones jack, but at the very best i am left with having a phone ringing in my pocket when i use headphones...
Almost every dumbphone i used at least stopped ringing using built-in loud speaker when headset was connected, not to mention SE phones which played ringtone through earphones even when muted...
So to sum it up, does anyone know whether it is possible to disable loudspeaker and still have ringtone over headphones?
Or at least any good semi-solution?
thanks,
