Hi, I had this problem, all solutions failed. Eventually I resorted to removing the (damaged) headphone socket and hard wiring the remaining solder pads (this requires a very steady hand and some soldering skill).The phone returned to normal functionality, but obviously using any type of headset is out of the question. It is a last resort but cheaper than a new phone ( I figured). :?: QUOTE(mrrossi @ Nov 13 2004, 14:13) Hullo My poor old SPV (original model) has been sitting in a drawer unloved for 9 months because it got stuck in handsfree / headset mode. Then I found all these great solutions (mainly the article by Gears at http://www.coolsmartphone.com/index.php?op...d=58&Itemid=3#) and thought whahey I can revive my SPV! The matchstick and WD40 solution worked initially - suddenly I had sound back and it was in 'normal' mode - great! Unfortunatley, after having the phone turned off and charging overnight I turned it on the next day to find it had reverted to headset mode. Ggggrrrr. Fiddled a bit more with teh WD40 and matchstick but can't get teh sound back again. So I installed the PHM registry editor and switched Active Profile to 'Normal' as per article previously mentioned. Yes, the phone was now is 'Normal' profile and I was able to select other profiles (unable to do previously) BUT I still have no sound.... rebooted, and the bleedin' thing had picked up headset mode again. Hhnnnggghhh. I tried (foolish) deleting the automatic and headset profiles from the registry too in the hope that on reboot it couldn't possibly pick up these modes.... it now shows no mode ticked whatsoever (guess it still tries to use headset but cannot show as it's been deleted). Any body know of any other registry settings I could try? (or how to get back the other profiles I deleted in case this causes problems?) Cheers! Mr Rossi |

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me where (or even if) I can obtain a replacement headset socket for my old (but functional) SPV. Orange want to charge me £17 just to look at it :!: and a couple of companies have said that it is not worth doing (I disagree). Having disassembled the phone and removed the socket assembly from the pcb I find it difficult to believe that it is a custom made item and must be available from somewhere, BUT WHERE ?. Failing that, can anyone tell me the pinout configuration so that I can hardwire the pads on the pcb and restore 'normal' phone-type functions ( I don't use it for playing MP3 or handsfree). |
