BB Torch :: It Only Works With Speakerphone Or Headset?
Oct 24, 2011
I have a new Torch 9860.When I tried to make a call, there was no ringing tone, so after about 20 seconds I looked at screen and saw it has been connected for 10 seconds, but I couldn't hear the other person. Tried again via speakerphone and with handsfree earphones, and these work. Also tried phoning bb from another phone and I hear it ring, when when I answer "normally" I can't hear caller unless I select speakerphone or plug in the earphones.
Recently i am facing a strange problem, when ever i recv a call people cannot hear me but i can , so this implies mic is not working...but now as soon as i switch on my speaker others can hear me..ie the mic starts working...now what to do in this case.? i am on froyo (India Version)
i have hard reseted my phone (power on + vol down) but still not working. my phone is still in warranty.
I am having problems with my almost new iPhone3gs.I get sound on calls,alarms,all the basic utilities and the speakerphone even works.But I can only get sound on apps(Netflix,games,videos,etc.)if I pluc in headphones.I reset my phone,checked settings,and no luck,I called Apple and they said to bring to Apple store,
I finally found a good headset that works, mic and all, to replace the **bleep** nokia one.As you may have found out if you waned a decent headset, nokia decided to screw its customers (in yet another way) my switching the mic and ground on the connecter.I was about to make my own adapter by cutting and resplicng a 2.5-3.5 adapter when I came across this headset with included adapter that does just that.They also sell the adapter separate, so you can use almost any 3-ring TRRS 3.5mm headset and have full function of the mic, answer/call button and sound in both ears.Here is the headset:
So my fiancee got an iPhone this weekend, and we also picked up a Plantronics BT headset at the store as well. I asked the sales rep which one would work well with the iPhone, and he didn't seem to ahve any preference and said anything should work. Well, unfortunately, it doesn't work with the iPhone's voicedial. When you press the button on the headset, it doesn't do anything unless you're answering a call. And I know it has nothing to do with being a cheap headset because I have a really cheap Southwing, probably cheaper than the Plantronics, that I got someplace for my old phone, and that works great. Can anyone recommend a ~$40 headset that works?
I have a Nokia BH-505stereo bluetooth headset, but it only works with my Nokia phones C7 and N900, not with a PC.I can establish a connection to my PCs, but there's no sound coming from the headset, instead it keeps coming from the PC's loudspeakers.I have 1 desktop PC (+bluetooth dongle) dual booting Windows XP and LInux Mint Debian Edition , and a laptop (bt built-in) dual booting Win 7 and Lubuntu 12.04 - the problem is the same on all 4 OSs.
I have a Galaxy S5 and I love S-health but the phone is a bit too big for my taste for taking it to a run in the park so I'd like to buy a smart device that works with S-Health and can play music through a bluetooth headset, any device that can do this?
I can receive incoming calls and the person on the other end can hear me but i can't hear them unless i have them on speakerphone or have the headphones plugged in. it was working fine earlier but has stopped.
I have audio through the headset or speakerphone with no issue but none through the handset. Did a battery pull but that did not resolve the issue. I also just upgraded to Rogers OS 5.0.0.743 not sure if this is what caused the problem.
I bought a 9700 two months ago, pay as you go Orange, a now I can make calls only with the handset plugged in. When I make calls, there is a sign upper left the screen which indicates to plug the headset. People can hear me but I can't hear them or barely with a "bip sound" which cut the line almost every second. Otherwise, with the headset it works perfectly well!.I did try to pull the battery while on but no recovery, I did a wipe (except for emails).Please note I do not receive emails anymore (I have a monthly contract with Orange for BB emails).

As soon as i received BB HS-700 i charged it and turned it on and it also got paired successfully with my new BB torch 9800 with the Title " HS-700" But for some reason i deleted this connection from Bluetooth paired devices Section. Don't ask me why i did ... i just did.
Now, i want to make the connection again. And whenever i press Search.. after a while, it says "Phone" is found and then ask the passkey to be entered . Which i use "0000". At the end it says "Unable to pair with. Try again"
It has been now two days and i have read and did every thing to make this connection but the same result.
I have a blackberry torch 9800 on Vodacom South Africa and everything is working fine with the phone, I have no worries there. I would just like to find out. Can I use my universal bluetooth headset to listen to audible audiobooks? I have connected my bluetooth headset to my phone with succes and succesfulle receives calls on it, it works fine. However the moment i want to listen to music or audiobooks on my headset it plays through the phone speaker. Is it possible to listen to music with the headset?
I plugged in my headset to the phone and opened up the media player,strange thing happening,headset sign changing to speaker phone and back again to headset and same thing happening repeatedly,what is the problem i do not understand plus i am also not able to listen to music through headset,my phone is hardly 23-25days old.
I have an application which works only through WIFI and not through 3G network. Its a security camera app which when I install on it on an iphone it works over 3G no problem but not on the blackberry. Is there something I should be looking at ? Also yes I do have a full data plan with unlimited access.
I downloaded an theme from BB Appworld. Since then almost none of my apps are working. I can't go to options to delete anything nor can I reset my phone. I can't even go back to Appworld to delete anything from there either.
Suddenly I found I was no longer able to play music through any external speaker or headset on my BB Torch. No one seems to be able to solve problem. BB Replaced but same problem. Complete factory reset solves problem but as soon as anything is restored, problem returns. Interestingly, if I make a call the headset works fine. If I play music, go to menu and try to 'activate headset' I get new window with headset and red dot on it. Coupled with this problem I notice if I go to 'set-up' and select 'email accounts' it will not open. I have had to activate all my accounts via my laptop.
Since I performed the last software update a couple of days ago I can only hear calls through the speaker or through the plugged in headset. I've tried resetting but the problem persists.
recently my screen would take afew tries with the unlock button to actually unlock, now my screen has compeletely turned off, but all my buttons still light up and work, i can touch and use the screen (although not being able to see what i am doing, i have navigated my phone to play music etc from memory) there are no cracks or damage to my screen.
The buttons won't work! None of them! Sometimes the one in the middle (navigator one!) that works going from side to side up and down but wont select anything and the rest just don't work!
I have a BB 9800, and I recently downloaded the latest 6.0 OS Bundle 2921. Since then, I cannot use the ear piece when making calls. The speaker/handset menu goes back and forth and there is no sound in the ear piece. I can no longer take calls in the car while I drive.
After downloading the latest BB torch software o/s update, (6.0 Bundle 2391), the numlock feature doesn't work.
When I press the numlock key on the screen keypad (both SureType and Qwerty), it only stays in effect for a few numbers pressed, and then releases by itself. It used to work fine before this bundle update.

2G Signal not working.I have had my BB Torch Since November last year, I have been working away from home alot and never had any problems with signal. It has always been on 3G set up on my phone.Due to a new little family member i have had time off from my work and been staying with my family, I have noticed that the signal in my house on 3G is not great. I switched it over to 2G on my handset and noticed it gets NO SIGNAL at all. I went out side and still the same no signal on 2G but soon as i change it over to 3G its fine.In the past i have had the Bold 9000 and it was set up on 2G & 3G so it would change over to which is stronger.I got my old bold out and have tried my sim in it and it works on 2G with no problems.Is there a fault in the torch with 2G signals?
