i have an unlocked Tilt with Dutty's Dual Touch Rom V.3... big thanks to dutty for his work...
here's a few things i've noticed so far... been playing around with the phone for a few days now... and done a ton of reading up here and at xda...
1) ringer doesn't ring in my BT Headset (SE HBH-610a).. just hear a plain ringer in the headset but the mp3 ringer plays on the phone... my e61i paired with the same headset used to play the mp3 ringer on the phone and headset... any way to change this??? and when i silence the ringer on the phone, it still keeps ringing in the headset... go figure that one out...
2) i don't hear anything in the headset when there is a SMS notification... plus i can't silence the SMS notification when it does come in... have to let the tone play out in full... very annoying at times... and the sms tone plays while i'm on a call... the very weird thing here is that it won't ring in my headset when i get a notification when i'm not on a call but if i'm on a call then the sound will play in my headset even though i'm on a call... makes no sense for it to do that...
3) there isn't any way to group contacts or send group txt msgs... though i've been looking really hard to find a good program to do this... you'd think a phone with a full keyboard would have some sort of program to send group txt msgs... can anyone suggest a good program???
4) can't figure out how to use mp3's as a ringer for the alarm... figured out how to add them to the sms notifications but not having any luck for the alarm... again, i'm sure i could add a program that could do that but would be nice to use mp3 ringer with the original alarm...
other than that.... love the phone... i'm sure all of those are just minor and i need to tweak things a bit... i'll keep searching around but if anyone has any suggestions for apps or anything else, any help would be much appreciated...
also looking for some type of app that would have the phone say the name of the person calling... it comes with all nokia phones these days and i find it very convenient... my e61i used to say the name of anyone that was in my phone book... very handy sometimes when u can't reach into ur pocket to see who's calling...
also notice a similar problem to someone else here... i'm on the fido network in canada and saw a post about someone not receiving calls all the time... it's happened to me a couple times over the past couple days... i put my band to gsm only and i'll update if i notice any difference...
figured out the group stuff and group sms stuff... and got a good alarm app that uses mp3s...
still havin the BT probs... 1 & 2 from my above post r very irritating problems... anyone have any recomendations??
anyone know an app that is something like this... preferably free...

Anyone else got this issue and is there a new bluetooth stack or something to resolve it?
When I click the answer button on any bluetooth headset (currently using the iqua solar powered one), the sound is temporarily diverted to by mobile before the bluetooth properly picks up, and also during that slugging moment, any ringtone playing is diverted to the caller's earpiece (i.e. sent out by my mic).
One caller complained it had nearly deafened them.
Anyone able to help?
Having the same issue with my parrot bluetooth and my Tilt
Can someone purrlleeeease help with this issue? I am now scared to answer any calls, lest I get shouted at with, "GOD WHAT WAS THAT NOISE? IT NEARLY DEAFENED ME!"
You really haven't give a lot of info here.
I mean what Rom are you running, what BT hardware and reg tweaks do your use etc.
Info is required to be of any assistance.
Note my signature shows exactly what Rom(s) I'm currently using.
Many thanks. Here are my versions:
HTC TyTN II
ROM: 1.0 Sleuth
ROM date: 08/28/07
Radio version: 1.27.12.11
Protocol version: 22.45.88.07H
Essentially I think a new Bluetooth stack might solve it, but I really wish to avoid losing all data by flashing a new ROM altogether.
A new Bluetooth stack on its own would be wonderful... or a way to restore my data back to a newer ROM. Would Sprite Backup do that if I use Sleuth's WM6.1 ROM?

I know the commercial version is supposed to support "Rom Upgrade" support but I'm not sure if that is in the version that is floating around the forums.
What you can do though is make a backup prior to upgrading.
Then upgrade to test if the problem is fixed in one of WM6.1 roms.
Then downgrade and restore your back-up.
Now you will know if there is even a point to expending the effort of trying to extract the BT Stack.
Don't take offense at this next statement but if you put forth that effort it might endear someone more skilled to your cause as you've provided a "Proof of Concept" so to speak.
Okay I have just upgraded to Sleuth's v3 (WM6.1). Sadly the bluetooth issue remains, despite the new Radio version.
If someone calls, and I answer using the bluetooth headset, for 1 second their audio is output to the speaker of the Kaiser. I believe it is during that second that they also hear the end of the ring tone, which is what deafens them.
An unsatisfactory workaround is to use a quite ringtone or vibrate only, but that is hardly ideal. If anyone knows of any other solution or a bluetooth stack that is a bit snappier when answering via headset, it would be great appreciated

Same issue here with the same new ROM.
I'm having the same problem. When I push the button on my BT HF it gives a horrible noise to the caller at the other end for a second. In my case I doubt it is ring tone, it doesn't sound anythin like the tone I'm using, it's just like loud crackling or smth.
I can't give you any version numbers cause by TyTN II is sent off to warranty (3rd time already). This time it stopped accepting and making calls while showing 3G symbol. Previously I had band selection on auto and had no problems. Now even after hard reset no calls could be made so off it went again. The first two faults where the speaker and the "Fn" light.
I am having the same problem, the handet is at HTC's repair facility for this and a few nagging issues. I will report what they find.
Mine isn't so much the ringtone it just sounds like a loud static sound. I thought it was the headset but I tried it with 3 different headsets and the Bluethooth in my car and they all have the same problem.
Got my phone back today and I can't say I'm impressed with HTC. First they requested that I send it in the original box then must have thrown it out and sent it in some crap box without enough padding. They didn't even send a note or invoice saying what had been done, which was nothing.
They claim they couldn't find anything wrong and when I called support the guy thought it a joke.
Needless to say it is still deafening and I am pissed.
Same Issue Here... It is almost as if there is a dely in cutting off the WAV/WMA file. Bluetooth Picks up and and both parties get the end of the ring tone.
Had the issued with the origional AT&T rom
Have the issue with Slueth 3.0 and Alex 5.2
If anyone finds a fix please let me know...
I am using PhoneAlarm - Don't know if that is related.
I've had the same complaints from some of my callers, and try to answer between rings as much as possible. The complaints have gone way down. Of course, we shouldn't have to jump thru hoops to answer our phones!
Does anyone have contact info to point HTC to this worrying thread? We need a patch release ASAP. A phone that can't answer calls properly? Yikes.
No issues with my BlueAnt Z9. Have you guys tried different headsets?
I think you may have just been lucky. It is uncommon to A) answer during the ringtone, and B) have the caller complain about the loud noise.
It happens on my Bluetooth earpiece, and Nokia car kit, and JVC car kit. So, it is for HTC to resolve.
I've tried three headsets and it happens on all of them. It happens even when I have the phone on vibrate.
I spent an hour on the phone with HTC support and they are awful, even after telling her that it happens on three different headsets she says that is sounds like a headset issue not an issue with the phone.
When I explained for the third time that I would agree if it happend with one headset but since it happens with all of the headsets it would support my arguement that it is an issue with the phone.
It was like talking to a wall. I wish I had an alternitive to HTC at this point, I love their design and have never had a problem with any of their other phones but this their lack of support is amazing.
I think its with all HTC phones. Happened with my Dash - Wing and now Tilt.
But I've never had anyone complain about hearing music on their end...I can just hear it on my headset for about 1 sec. I've also had my SMS tone play wile on a call and also my VM tone play while on a call and I've asked them if they heard that and they said no.
I also only use noise cancelling headsets.

I've never had a problem with any other handset, I've had a Qtek 9100, MDA, O2 Exec, Wing and a Dash.... crap I spent a lot on phones. The only one I've had problems with is the TyTNII.
Same problem here. And sometimes the speaker will very briefly go into speaker mode as I answer! Not good.
I get the "Device Not Ready" popup in Media Player when a call comes in and switches over to my BT headset. It is frustrating to constantly have to clear the popup and try to yet again seek to where the hell I was on a podcast when the call came in! Is there a fix for this or is it just a "feature" of WMP and/or WinMo 6.1? I am hoping someone has a magic reg setting to make WMP behave on audio transfers to and from BT.
I have MSVC working fine via my Plantronics Voyager 510 and just want my music or podcast to pause when a call comes in then switch to my BT for the call duration then resume playing via speaker after the call is done.. is this asking too much?
This happens with every ROM I've flashed.. (although I only have flashed Dutty's last 4 releases). So, I am thinking others have it happen and live with it or I am just not tweaking my tilt properly. And, yes, I do a hard reset after every flash.. and everything else works fine.
I've searched but can't find if there is a solution to this. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks..
Hmm.. since no takers.. can u tell me if it happens to u?
With no replies on my post.. can anyone just confirm that this happens to them as well? I would think at least some of the xda peeps would have the phone playing a tune or podcast between calls. Does your phone switch audio without the "Device is not ready" error?
Just trying to see if it's only me...
Thanks.
I listen to MP3s (not WMP but Pocket Player or S2P) all the time while my phone is connected to my car's bluetooth handsfree system. I have never once observed a "device not ready" error pop-up when a phone call arrives. The music pauses and the handsfree takes over and starts ringing.
Might want to look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2083364 as it seems that some people are seeing the same problem as you.
Rumball,
Thanks for your post. I guess it might be my bluetooth giving me the problem then. I've been needing a reason to buy a new z9.. so hopefully it will behave better since it's BT 2.0.
Thanks again for letting me know it works the way I imagined it should!
How come my ringtone on my tilt only plays for one sec and then stops. I cut it with audio manager but others do the same. Its on ring and vibe
can u give use more info like rom d wht type of mp3 ur using? there are lot of things that might be the issue. how long hs it ben doing this, is it just with ur cut mp3's. info we need info
Even I am facing a ringtone problem on my HTC touch. I am unable to make .mp3 files to work as ringtones.
try changing to Ring only mode.
I am having this same problem!! No matter what ringer is assigned, when I receive a call it plays for .5-1 second and stops. The vibrate works perfectly though.
My Tilt is using the April 29th version of Dutty's rom.
Has anyone found a solution?
i think i know why it happens, when i got a call from a private number that microsoft voice thing starts to say the number and caller, but because its private there was a big gap. I dont know how to turn off the speech for the caller but i think that should fix it
That's exactly what it is!!! if you disable "voice command" under the settings tab, the problem is fixed
I have a Tilt and am currently using the latest Hyperdragon III rom, but this has happened with several of the most recent roms.
it used to be that whenever i got an incoming call i would have both ms voice command announce the call through my bluetooth head set, while the phone would vibrate and play the ringtone through its normal speaker.
now, for some reason, in this latest batch of roms, i'm getting both the msvc announcement and the ringtone through my headset and the phone only vibrates. if i turn the headset off,then the phone rings like normal.
this gets to be a problem when i have the headset in my pocket, i start to miss calls!
has anyone else had this problem?
edit: also, something that's bugged me forever, the T key seems to always miss presses. i have to really jam on it to get it to register. if i'm not thinking about it, i'll send out texts and emails with no Ts in them at all! is there a software fix to this or is it a hardware issue?

Hardware. As to BT, I've always had that behavior (all sounds in headset), so don't have much to say, seemed normal to me.
I had that same problem, but I used the MSVCtoggle.cab and it switches it from headset to phone and vice versa.
I believe you need to go to "Voice Command" under settings > system, then select "Notifications"
There are settings that allow changes in how notifications are handled via your speaker and/or your BT.
Hope this helps.
The problem isn't the calls being announced via bluetooth, it's the fact that the phone now only rings into the bluetooth headset.
in previous roms, it used to be that when a call would come in, my phone speaker would ring and i would also receive the MSVC announcement via the bluetooth headset
now, in newer roms, the phone speaker does not ring, and i got both the ringtone and the msvc announcement via the bluetooth headset.
i don't want msvc to announce the calls via the phone's speaker
same thing happens with messages and the announce new messages feature. I get the sms read to me in my bluetooth headset, but the new sms tone also plays through the headset.
edit: if i turn off call announcements, then the phone rings through the regular speaker. i get no call announcements, but hearing the ringtone is much better! i'm using msvc 19965
same problem, please help , it is geting to be verry annoying (((
thank you
p.s. using tilt, original rom, voice comman 1.6.19214
very annoying voice comman problem
same problem, please help , it is geting to be verry annoying (((. if i take check mark out from phone checkbox, under setings voice command then it rings at a phone, but i cant use voice command to dile phone numbers. i say call "name " it finds it but doesn't ask < call "name" > , so it defits the porpose of voise comand.
thank you

I am wondering which would be the best/simplest way of fixing this simple and somewhat stupid issue which reminds me of old Motorola phones that would not ring AND vibrate.
When a wired headset is connected, the ringtone and most other sounds/notifications only play through the headset. This is a problem for me because I don't want to miss calls, have my headphones on constantly or unplug them whenever I'm not wearing them, then having to fumble with wires whenever there's a call.. This is especially annoying while driving and it just doesn't make any sense that the ringtone would play through the headset only, unless music or other audio is already playing.
I asked the Swedish Samsung support about this and they said this is just how it is made to be but that there could be an app somewhere which could let me change the setting. They recommended a paid app (Headset Droid) which, telling from the description does not seem to be able to do anything of the sort.
What I have noticed is that the Viber app still rings through the handset speaker.
I presume there is a config file somewhere which would let me change the setting if the phone was rooted but I haven't gotten around to and haven't had any strong enough reasons for rooting yet.. I would if there was a solution to this involving rooting.
So simply put I would like the ringtone and notifications to play through the handset at all times or maybe even both handset and headset.
I'm running Kernel XBKK4, bought in Sweden.
I have now rooted and will try some other kernels/firmwares to see if that solves the problem.. or possibly finding a configuration file. I'll keep you posted if I find a solution.
I flashed the DarkyROM 3.3 and now it actually rings from the handset. Problem solved!
It would be interesting to know exactly why, could it be that the stock phone app has been replaced?
