Hi,
I just bought a used Trinity a few weeks back, and I'm still playing around with it. I've got a question (searched the forums + read the manual with little results).
How do you switch between the wired headset and the internal speaker?
Currently, from my setup (I'm using AXL's 3.0.6 rom), the sound doesn't immediately switch from speaker -> headset unless I put the phone in standby and then turn it back on again. This will cause some problems if I happen to be listening to music (I use an adapter), and then an incoming call comes in... the phone is then totally useless unless I also happen to be carrying my wired handsfree kit....
Please tell me that this is not the normal mode of operation...

I've got the opposite problem, I cant switch from the speaker to the wired headphones, I thought it would have done it automatically, but nothing....how did u get urs to work?
I couldn't get it to work. However, I've mastered the quick art of turning the phone off, pulling out the adapter, and waiting for the ring to turn the phone on again... sometimes it still doesn't switch back to internal speaker mode, which irritates me and my caller.
From what I read, it's a hardware thing, and I'm too lazy to get it replaced currently, so I'll wait till it's totally broken and then replace it.

Hi,
Is there anything that can be done to improve the mic volume when on speaker phone - I have had complaints when more than a foot or so away that people can't hear me.
I have the phone open on my desk most of the time and am just trying to work out the best way to deal with calls as they come in. At the moment unplugging the USB and then flipping the screen and then trying to answer the call seems a bit ham fisted and I keep on loosing calls
I personally never use my MDA Pro as a conventional phone. I find it too bulky. My own method is to always use a bluetooth headset.
If I was in your situation, I would have the Universal open on my desk, with the bluetooth headset lying beside it. When the phone rings, simply put on the bluetooth headset,press the call receive button on it, and away you go.
You don't really need to flip the screen, just close it and then use the green button to answer the call. Will work fine with the USB connected if you don't mind people looking at you strangely.
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the responses.
I don't have a headset so haven't gone down that route yet. Will they work with Skype and VOIP software etc on the phone?
As for closing and then picking up, I'm wondering if the phone has a problem because I have tried this a couple of times and have lost the calls although I am generally unplugging the USB, closing the phone and then answering - have only had the phone a couple of days so still getting the hang of it.
Hmmm....can it be used when in pda mode to answer and make calls... I have tried this, but I think either my machine's mic & speakers dont work on the inside (screen side) of the clamshell, the other person on the line can't hear, and I hear their voice (distantly), which means it is coming out of the back of the screen, not the front. Its either that or the device just isnt designed to work in this orientation.
Has anyone else tried recieving or making calls with the screen facing out in portrait mode?
Re the Bluetooth headset answering method, great idea, I do this, but I have found that sometimes my o2 blue headset loses the pairing when I press the answer call button, so I lose the call anyway.
Can anyone tell us how it should work, will the recent rom upgrade fix this, is there even a mic and speaker on the inside lid?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The Mic is right next to the power button, so it is as close to your mouth when in PDA mode or closed. Also There are two speakers on the hinged lid, in PDA mode it's the slightly recessed oval shape 10mm from the top dead centre.
I've never discovered a software method of disabling this speaker. Possibly a hardware fault? Might be worth discussing with your handset provider
I didn't want to open yet another Polaris bluetooth problems but none were like mine.
I have the O2 Orbit 2 and I had bluetooth mute problems which were usually resolved with soft reset, I think that ever since I installed HTC's official bluetooth mute fix the mute problems got worse.
Every couple of calls or when I plug something to the mini usb (ear phone, charging, data, etc') my bluetooth is muted, the connection is established and I think I do hear through it but with extremely low volume (less then a whisper, more like back ground noise) the mute almost never fixes itself, it goes on even if I flash with a different ROM!!, what fixes it is playing with turning on and off the connection to the headset while in call or, while in call pluging and removing the wired headset, once it's back, it usually stays ok until (randomly) when I plug something to the usb, at first I though it will never work again (flashing something like 10 different roms...) but this fix is less then convenient, again, sadly the official fix doesn't help.
Anyone knows the return policy to O2 from Germany? I live at Israel so I think it might be a problem...
Same problem for me.
After the original fix, my bluetooth headset is always mute.
I have ordered a new original HTC M200 headset. I hope it will work............
Original M200 arrived today.
Don't work. Always mute.
I have tried to uninstall the original fix without any resultate.
Did you get yours to work?
You can try the on/off trick, I usually call my voicemail when the mute starts and then goto options and turn handsfree off, then again turn it on, sometimes it works after 4-5 tries sometimes after 2-3 minutes...
Sometimes the voice comes back in slow motion!!, I thought at first that it was garbled, but once I have a voice mail of a woman who talked fast so when the voice came back in slow motion she sounded like a very low voice slow talking man.
no, don't work on any headset......
It's a hardware problem ??
Hey guys...just wondering if you guys found a solution to this problem. I have this problem with my touch pro. The A2DP works, but for some reason handsfree through bluetooth is muted and I can't unmute. Hope you guys found a fix and can help me out.
I have just come across a little bit of a problem, with my apache! There is no sound what-so-ever coming from the device. It was working fine before, I went to make a call, and nothing, didn't hear the ring, tryed playing mp3's, nothing. Come someone help. There is no rush for this request, I'm just using the device as a beta software testing device! I haven't tested anything on it as of yet! Thanks in advance!
my speaker phone went out. I can hear when i make/recieve calls but thats is.
no system sounds, no ringer, nothing.
I did get system sounds when i plugged in a headset.
People told me that usually the headset detector pin gets stuck and the phone thinks there is a headset in and disables audio, i could see this being the case if it disabled audio in calls. my failure was external speaker only.
Someone suggested holding the volume up (so it goes ding ding ding ding) and smacking the phone against your palm (others advised against this) well its insured so i smacked away. I noticed every time i hit it against my palm the sound would come in for a split second. Eventually that stopped working. I was lucky enough to have a spare xv6700 i was about to send back as a bad unit and i was able to switch out speakers (it unplugs from the board) and whala problem solved.
dead audio on Apache ppc6700
I have this same issue with my 6700 quite often. What I do is plug the headset back in and pull it out a few times untell the sound comes back. once you do that. as long as you never use the headset jack. then you should never have an issue with it.
Yesterday, something strange happened... The speaker and microphone on my Universal stopped working - all of a sudden, out of hte blue, and completely inexplicably!
I spent 4 hours on a train yesterday, and was listening to music on my Uni nearly all the way through. I had also used it to make calls and it was working fine. Since I was using normal headphones rather than the bundled hands-free headset, making a call involved unplugging the headphones and holding the phone to my ear - so I know that, for at least part of the day, the phone's speaker and mic where working perfectly!
I kept on listening to music on my cans until the journey ended. I then check my phone and find 9 missed calls, from various people. "Strange," I thought, "I had the headphones on all the time - why didn't I hear it ring?"
I try to call back some of the people who had tried to get to me. As I watch "dialling..." switch to "connected", I hold the phone up to my ear and say "Hello...?" and hear nothing in return! I try again several times, with the same result. I try soft-resetting the phone a few times. I try switching from 3G to GPRS in case it was a radio problem. Nope, not a radio problem, as I can still send and receive texts. A few start coming in. They read "I CANT HEAR U! R U ALLRIGHT?" Great, so it's not just the speaker, it's the microphone too. I try making another call, but using speakerphone: doesn't work, and in fact won't even enter speakerphone mode! I press "Speakerphone on" on the touchscreen but it just doesn't want to go there - the speakerphone icon doesn't appear on the status bar, and the button doesn't change to "Spreakerphone off" as it should do.
I get home, do several more resets. No result. I try plugging in the headphones and playing an mp3 file. As I suspected: I can hear just fine through the 'phones, but when I try to unplug them to see if there would be music coming out through the phone's speakers as well, they stay mute.
Great, I thought, phone's busted! Well, still works... but not as a phone! Unless I permanently use some hands free solution. So, an unwieldy device just got more awkward to use!
I leave it disassembled (battery and sim card out) and put it in a drawer. I'm already thinking about new phones to buy when I go to sleep. The next morning, I decide I need to check my calendar, so I put my phone back together and switch it on. The battery had run down completely: it now thinks it's January 1st 2006. Happy days, I remember them: my phone worked back then. Then, all of a sudden, someone calls me and, oh joy of joys! It RINGS! I can HEAR it! It's 2006 again! I answer, casually have a conversation on a working phone, and hang up. Problem solved! Phone shopping averted!
The question is, why would this weirdness happen? The speaker and mic stopped working LITERALLY in the middle of using them! I was sure that they had gone, that it was a hardware problem and it would need repair or replacement, but no, it turns out it was some kind of software problem which leaving the phone off overnight fixed! Why would it break so suddenly, and why would just leaving it off fix it? Anyone vaguely tech-savvy want to hazard a guess?
If you use earphones, your 3.5 plug is simply shorted when you pulled the earphones out. What I suggest you do is start playing some music or sound files on your media player and insert a very fine thin screwdriver into the earphone plug then wiggle it lightly until the sound from your speakers comes back.
Yea i had same problem ... and as Enigma said it is due to some left over of 3.5 m jack....the phone still thinks the jack is plugged in, hence no sound from built in speakers.... just take a toothpick and wiggle it in the 3.5 m earphone socket or you can just blow it with some air.....
Hello everyone,
i have problem with my acer s200 im not sure if its the speaker or headphone, here is what it happen

if anyone can help me, i will appreciate it.
oh and also my msn doesnt work for some reason.
iv done fresh reboot and did flash it but nothing fixed.
Thanks
This is quite a common problem with this model. If you pushed the headset pin too hard in, you might have damaged the socket. Basically there are two pins at the bottom of the socket that need to be in contact when the headset is removed. I had this problem and had to take the set back to Acer who repaired it as it was still under warranty. I think there is a DIY posted in this forum also, but it is not particularly easy. A temporary measure is this:
Get PHM Registry Editor installed and got to Tools>Find...> and type "headsetin" in "Find What:", click "Find Next" and it will show you a key under "Scenario" with HeadsetIn under Name and 1 under Data. Change the "1" to "0" and your speakers will start functioning again. The only problem here is that your speakers will function even when you have a headset in. Hope this helps.
hello
there is repairing manual in this forum with photos.u can do it by ur self easly.i did my self.
