Welp, I have an AT&T Tilt flashed with Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid Cube [Apr 29] with radio 1.64.08.21. I am using the jabra BT620s headset which sound great! (when working) and work great on my wife's blackberry 8300. I've read the wiki and tried KaiserTweak and tried all the bluetooth settings. Still skips after a SR every change. I also tried the .cab found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284974 (the Yikes! thread about A2DP which is what I assume my problem is)
I installed it and it still skips. I also manually went in after searching on here some more and changed the registry settings myself for the bluetooth (although I think thats done with KaiserTweak for me) with the recommended settings and SR and no help.
So, I've done my homework, I've tried many a thing already so no flaming me to RTFM like last time.
Has anyone been able to fix this issue? I'm at a loss and am just about to give my nice headphones to my wife. (I really want to avoid that so I can actually use my phone for MP3s.)
I'm hesitant to change the radio on Dutty's ROM because I'm sure he knows more than I do about what radio I should be using with his ROM. But do you think that would make a difference? Or would that have nothing to do with it?
PS> It was skipping as much with the stock ROM so its not Dutty's ROM. Any other ideas or something I missed with the magical search?
Thanks.
Lightning EDIT: I've also flashed the headset with it's latest firmware.
I had the same problem and finally I disabled the bitpool using KaiserTweaks and the skipping lag stopped.
Oh my goodness. Well, heres what I did and I think its probably what you just said. But after posting my post I went into the reg and just DELETED BitPool and MaxBitPool and SampleRate. IN fact, all I have in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\A2DP\Settings is UseJointStereo = 1 (Dec).
Working flawlessly. Geebus after all the messing around I've done to get this fixed over the last two days it was simply deleting some registry values. heh
Well, thanks for the input. Hope this thread is easily found in the search now.
EDIT: Not fixed, see below
AAARRRrrrrrgggggh! Well, I thought I had it fixed. Last night I plugged in the phone to my computer's usb port because the battery was red. This was right after I deleted those registry keys and before I tried listening to music. I listened to 4 songs this way perfect. Time for bed. So I unplug the phone to plug into the charger next to my bed. When I unplugged it, instant skippage. it kept skipping all the way to my bed. Nearly woke up my wife and kids cursing. Not sure if it had anything to do with unplugging it but at the moment I felt like stompingon my phone. Good thing reason prevailed. heh
Anyway, I'll test some more tonight. Dont have my phone right now. If anyone else has any ideas, would sure appreciate it.
I had some issues when I first got my S9s but playing with the bitpool thing got mine working, I might get a skip every 30 minutes or so but it isn't frequently. I did also notice that it matters how close the phone is to you. If I put my phone in my jacket breast pocket, no skipping. If it is put in my pocket on my waist i will get the occasionaly skip.
Thanks jallenclark,
I never thought it could be a range issue. I'll do some experimenting tonight with how far away the phone is. Would look sily to have a phone strapped to my shoulder to get my wireless headphones to work, heh. But I will try. Thanks!
Honestly, after Dutty's ROM I think I would really love my phone if this BT headset thing wasn't happening. Well... that and the camera didnt suck so bad.
Edit: I just ordered THIS from Amazon and am giving up on BT headsets. I just happened upon this while looking through other stereo BT headphones on Amazon. Didn't even know it existed. So if you are having these problems, maybe this will work for you.

Hi folks
I'm wondering if my Kaiser is defective somehow. On occasions, during phonecalls, people are complaining about not being able to hear me loud enough, then after a few seconds they can hear me loud and clear again, without me doing anything.
This happens to almost every phonecall I make, which makes my skin crawl each time, as I'm afraid I could be using an expensive, yet defective Kaiser
Has anyone else experienced this, and if so found a solution?
Thanks for your interest!
Possible App conflict
I encounter the same problem and found out that a 3rd party application (resco audio recorder) is the culprit. Aparrently I enabled an option to record all voice calls and in effect, causes the 3rd party not to hear me. maybe you have the same issues
Try uninstalling any applications that might use the built in microphone and try.
Otherwise, you could have a defective Kaiser.
Try a different radio.
i have the same problem too. What is the best radio to use???
Doesn't upgrading the radio require a ROM update?
Upgrading the radio does indeed require a ROM update, but this is not the same part of the ROM as you would flash for example the AT&T or Dutty's latest to. You can change the radio ROM independantly of the 'application' ROM.
For my personally, the .17 radio ROM seems to work best, but others feel .31 feels best for them. You will have to consult the radio ROM thread (Kaiser -> Upgrading) for further information as to how to change them, and which ROM is compatible with your system.
EDIT: Note that this may or may not help with your issue, I simply do not know and you will have to try it yourself. It's just a suggestion that may fix this issue for you.
well why the hell cannot HTC do this at factory??? they really are dumb arses.
i dont expect to have to play with a phone changing files etc just to allow the person i am calling to hear me.
I wish NOKIA OR SAMSUNG had made it
If you've got a stock rom and radio - completely un flashed from new, then the problem is more likely to be hardware related. If you've changed the rom then there is a good chance that the problem is because the radio also needs to change.
Check here for which radios work with which roms.
I can't help with which will work for you but I've tried most radios and I've found 1.27.12.17 and 1.27.12.32 work well with stanfard HTC rom and also all of Dutty's and Schaps roms.
Yah, the same problem and found so far a brick wall as far as resolution. I am unsure if new radio will resolve the problem as one user has returned his "tilt" phone 3 times under warranty just for the speaker problem and each time the speakerphone did not work even when "replaced". Also, other users have tried different radio/rom as well as "replacing" there phone through warranty: each time result the same; speakerphone did not work.
Here are a couple links relating to the problem but each time the problem seemed to remain.
Here is first post under xda (5 pages i think;relates to speaker problem; you will see users tried different radios and such but no resolution to problem ever found):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337931&page=5
here is another link from mobile planet that i started....
http://www.mobileplanet.com/ft.aspx?k=104689
resolution to this problem remains elusive. Some speculate that its due to non duplex design of the hardware while others speculate there might be some type of hack to correct this; but so far no fix has been found. Given the poor state of video drivers for this device; one has to wonder though if this is a software issue; but who knows.
Discussions regarding "callers not been able to hear me" seem to have died off.
I am still having this issue having tried many many different radios and roms. It's got to the point where I don't use the phone for calls anymore.
Today I flashed my phone back to the Taiwanese ROM and restored the OEM bootloader and went into the HTC service center. Of course the first thing they tried to do was test it on the spot by calling me in the shop. True to form it didn't show the issue which led them to believe it was more of a reception/network issue, even though I know it isn't. I have left it with them to send to their "technicians" and will await their outcome.
I asked another friend today if he's had the same issue where callers can't hear him and he does. Does anyone else still get "sorry I can't hear you" on nearly every call? I had always put this issue down to the crappy cellphone network in Taiwan but I had the same issue when I went back home last month where I've never had any phone call quality issues in the past (Vodafone NZ).
I'll post the outcome from HTC on Mon 6th Oct.
I'll probably get shot down in flames here but ...
The company I work for bought 200 Kaisers for our techs .... within a few days we people were complaining that the person on the other end of the phone couldn't hear them. It didn't take a genius to work out that with the STUPID mic location and the way you held your phone, the base of your thumb would completely cover the mic and make you inaudible!!
I do this daily without realising it!!!
Might be something to look at when/if I get my phone back. Out of interest... where is the mic???
The fact that the sound cuts in out out for my callers would suggest that it is a different issue though. It goes very very faint for them and then comes back to normal all without me moving or raising my voice.
Bottom right of the phone.... under the "reset" button.
Wow, I never knew that's where the mic was! Thanks!
That tiny hole next to the mini USB? It's almost on the back of the phone and definitely not close to the mouth when holding with your right hand.
I'll have to keep that in mind and see if it helps...
Yeah that's the one .... hold your phone in your right hand and let your hand relax a little and see where the mic ends up!! Completely covered by your hand!!

You're right!! I got my phone back from HTC and they couldn't fault the mic. When i got home I tested it with my usual hand grip and sure enough it blocks the mic completely and nothing can be heard by the person on the other end.
Fault = I have fat hands
Hopefully this thread will help anyone else with similar issues.
LOL ... I wonder how many they get daily due to this!!
I'm a leftie so my hands aren't blocking the mic. I also had this problem with the Qtek 8310
I go skiing tomorrw so i need to try and get this problem fixed asap. I recently installed PDAcorner V19 and i adore the rom to bits. The only problem is randomly the sound will cut off. Calls are silent, txt messages/calls dont ring and adjusting the sound has no effect. It takes a soft reset in order to cure it, then after a few hours it goes back to being silent. I originally did a hard reset but it didnt seem to have any effect on it. I am on T-mobile, in the UK using radio 17.09.19.
Does anyone have any idea what could bec causing this? I pm'd the creater of this ROM but havnt heard back yet and i am really hoping to get it fixed before i go abroad. Does anyone have any advice?
thanks guys
(i have searched & googled as much as i can, but didnt find anything of use)
edit; excuse the typo in the subject, if i mod could adjust it id be gratefull!
You can try to flash a different radio to see if that helps or a different rom. I have that rom and do not think that anyone else is have those sorts of problems.
I had the same problem a while back and tried several different roms and radios. Nothing worked. I think it has to do with Voice Command and or bluetooth. Then all of a sudden it went away. Here is the thread discussing it, to see if it sounds like your problem.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=438457
thanks for your help Denco, ill have a look through and see if it helps!
I hate to make this post, but was a solution ever found for the unexplained volume drop to zero issue? I have followed the threads regarding this problem, searched, wiki'd and just about everything else but still no luck finding a resolution.
Regardless of ROM or regedit it appears this problem just doesn't die. Absent a cure for the problem, it's going back to 6.0 over the weekend.
Thanks for any insight.
Well, I guess this means there is no solution.
Well, I'm new to Kaiser and it's problems, but this one is quite annoying. This is what I came to after many days of messing with it...
I'm using shifu rom, it works great. SPB shell is also installed on my Kaiser and S2U also, but the problem with sudden ring volume drop remained. It disappeared when I turned off ID call through the S2U, and now using just windows regular. S2U slider remained, just ID call function in it disabled. Now I'm trying to reproduce the bug, but fortunately no luck in that. So if you use it, just go to S2U2 settings/general/ID off. Worked for me, but I'll keep you posted if something goes wrong.
Cheers!
i hope my question is in the right place here.. if not, i'm really sorry.
I am a very frequent user of this forum and of custom roms.
I flash a new rom ever 2-4 days, and try to get the "best" solution.
few days ago i noticed that my callers don't understand me well anymore.
i tested it with another mobile phone and most time it's impossible to understand.
i hope anyone can help me.
wfg Axos
I have same problem..is there anyone who can help........plz
thanks
thank you to everyone who looked to this thread.
I have the same problem, I notice this after my bluetooth headset got disconnected. if it is connected it works ok, but not disconnected. Im thinking that it's something with the rom. dont remember which rom i got, but this is the second rom for me. The same both times, and it's 6.5 im using.
anyone got a clue what the problem is?
i fixed the problem today... after several attempts with reflash with no luck. i realized that the sound output was looped back somehow because when i pressed some dial keys the reception phone got the keys, but no sound.... strange, soo i also tried to play some music for my friend, and voila the microphone just turned on again.
I have no idea why or how i did, but now it works again, even with switching bluetooth headset on and off.
Hope the microhone stays this way.
only one day after i wrote this, the microphone died again :-( i have restored the phone to original rom, the same problem so to bad it must be an hardware error. I will send the phone to service. We will see if they can fix it. Good luck to you other guys.
I'm really hoping someone can help with this, because it is driving me insane! I will try to keep this as brief as possible, but feel free to hit me with questions.
So 2nd hand Samsung Galaxy S I9000. I have had issues. At first the home button didn't work so I had to get the screen replaced. After this I installed DarkyRom v10.2.2 Extreme Edition TouchWiz4.
After I installed the Rom the sound went (can't remember if it was instantly after the install, it may have been, but I suspect not. It may have been after a day or 2. No longer). The sound worked through the headphone socket, but would not come out of the speakers. I figured that it thought that the headset was plugged in. I installed Cyanogen Mod (as it has the headphone indicator) and lo, there it was. Headset indicator was on, despite not being plugged in. Tried some fixes (compressed air into the headset socket, plugging in and removing headphones). No dice.
Took it to a repair centre, and they fixed it. BUT, when it came back, the LEDs lit up whenever the screenlock was engaged. They looked at it again and said that it was a problem with the mainboard and wasn't fixable. Got into quite an argument with them as the LED problem did not exist prior to taking the phone in, so they agreed the headset repair for free. I am not convinced of their honesty nor that they actually replaced anything.
Obviously quite annoyed at this point, as I basically now have a battery drain. Anyhow, decide to reflash it again, see if it fixes it, so I flash DarkRom 10.2 Resurrection Edition. OMG The LED problem is fixed. Sound still works at this stage.
I then flash DarkyRom v10.2.2 Extreme Edition TouchWiz4 again. Boots up. THE DAMN SOUND HAS STOPPED WORKING AGAIN! I have not plugged headphones into it, so it cannot be the jack socket. I have only just brought the phone home again.
I have reflashed back to DarkRom 10.2 Resurrection Edition and I still have no sound. I am now thinking this may be a problem with the TouchWiz4 Rom, as I am at a complete loss why the sound would have gone between the Resurrection to the Extreme edition. I haven't put Cyanogen back on, but I am pretty certain that it will tell me that the headset is plugged in.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get sound back on my phone, because I am basically back to having a useless brick? I have tried searching but cannot find anyone asking a similar question.
Many thanks, and apologies in advance if I have broken any n00b rules! If any further information is required, fire away.
Cheers

Ok. I have done nothing since posting this message and now the sound just works again. I'm not going to risk reflashing again, but if anyone has any ideas why I am having this issue then I would like to hear it, because I am not convinced that the problem is going to go away for good!
Hello again!
As I suspected, this problem has not gone away.
I still have not plugged anything into the headphone socket, so I think that can be ruled out as an issue.
The sound has gone on it twice now, since my post. The first time I took it out of vibrate mode and enabled sound. I noticed that the keypad wasn't clicking. Tested it, yep. Stuck in headset mode again.
I went to power down the phone, and noticed that when I hit reboot the keyboard click had returned. When it rebooted sound was back on.
The second time, I was playing the ultra-lame App ARShooter. Sound went off midway through playing it. Again, I heard the keyboard click comeback when I hit the reboot option when powering down.
Sound came back again.
There is clearly something wrong with this phone, and I would love to know how to fix it, or if it's even possible, or where I should even start looking. If anyone has any ideas of what is causing this problem, then please let me know.
Thanks again!
Flashing back to stock?
Hi there.After one and a half month i noticed that the one speaker of the headphone provided inside the i9000 package was not working.Also the i could barely hear what was the other person was saying.I tried a normal headphone with the simple 3.5 audio jack(no mic) and it worked fine.Also i used it in the car and stereo works fine,but if i put a 3way 3.5jack then it doesnt really worked.I flashed a 2.3.4 simple honey rom but it didnt work .I tried to go to the secret codes menu using *#*#197328640#*#* but the AUDIO directory is not opening!I tried pressing on it and typing {5} (it the number of the directory) but it doesnt open whatever i do.I tried voodoo and although it works wonderfull at playing music i still cant use the mic+headphones that came with samsung or another one i bought to check if the first is faulty.Now i want to revert back to stock so i can take it to the samsung shop for repair;What drivers do i need and what do i do to take it bac kto stock? stock rom that came with my phone was xwjvi 2.3.3
Thank you!
