Guest bluesmudge Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 Common fualt mate - sorry its broken SOme people have been known to be able to get this back by inserting / removing headset slowly and making sure it is definalt making contact with the socket. But its a common fualt with the c500, mine has done it and the only way around it was to replace it im afraid :o If you do get the phone working again it is not advised to put a headset back in the phone.

Guest Disco Stu Posted October 5, 2005 Report Share Posted October 5, 2005 This has been a problem with all SPVs. The problem is with the tiny switch inside the headphone socket. Some have cleared it with a sharp blow down the hole or with a careful poke with a matchstick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest philsmith Posted June 23, 2006 Report Share Posted June 23, 2006 I found a hint on another forum, which may have done the trick. I had a registry editor installed (http://www.phm.lu/Products/Smartphone/RegEdit/). I went to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Profiles and there is a Registry Value of ActiveProfile. I changed that from Headset to Normal, exited out and then switched the device off and on again. It seems to have come back in Normal!

Guest whiteflippinjew Posted June 26, 2006 Report Share Posted June 26, 2006 Just wondering, do yall think the "using the paperclip/match" trick grounds the socket or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest artvandalay Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Just wondering, do yall think the "using the paperclip/match" trick grounds the socket or what? dont know but when mine gets stuck in headset, I just use the headphone jack and put it in and out a few times usually does the trick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chmod-uk Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 (edited) This happened to me once. What i did was to get the original headphones that came with it and just plug them in and out. The original ones have the proper 2.5mm 4 pole adapter and i think after using my 2.5 to 3.5mm 3 pole adapter for a while it somehow stuck the switch inside. Anyway give it a try, it worked for me and i haven't had a problem since. Edited July 17, 2006 by chmod-uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
