Mic Issues

I posted earlier about mic issues. D3TH METAL responded and tried to help. I was able to get the mic to transmit (walked away from the phone so i know it was the headset mic). But, people say it is terrible sound. Muddy sound like i have something over the mic.

I was able to pair it on my computer and do a recording using the headset mic. The sound is as i imagine it is on the other end of the phone call. The recording is very muddy sounding. Like there is no high end frequency whatsoever.

I'm surprised that no one else is having trouble or complaining about this. Do you all just use your freedom just for listening to music and not at all for taking calls? I'm trying to decide if i have a faulty pair. I can't think that this is how they are supposed work/sound.

As a side note. If i use sound recorder on the phone (app) the mic doesn't work. The sound that is recorded comes from the phone mic. If i move the phone away from me.. the recorded sound deminishes respectively.

Would any of you be able to try using that app and tell me your results (that is, if you are recording from headset mic or from phone mic?!).

Thanks.

I made a phone call last night with it and had no issues. Ill try the sound recorder app this weekend and let you know.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] z_n0mad:
I just bought these headphones and they've been great so far. The audio quality is excellent and microphone quality is great (I come across very clear when making overseas calls which was not the case before).

I have two problems so far.

1. I get disconnected from my HTC Evo if I'm not using the headset for a while. It seems like some sort of in-build feature designed to save battery life but it's causing problems for me. I can't keep the headset connected and answer when I receive a call. I have to keep it 'active' or otherwise it will disconnect.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

If I'm not able to get passed this issue I sill be returning them as this is a deal-breaker for me.

2. The range isn't very good compared to other bluetooth headphones I've owned. Not a big deal for me as I tend to keep my phone close by.

These would be the best bluetooth headphones I've ever owned (I've owned about 8 different a2dp headphones) if I can get passed the disconnect issue.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] hshan:
Maybe i'm expecting too much?! I have never owned wired or bluetooth headsets.

I think that most buyers in this thread are interested in stereo

wireless music listening via bluetooth. I was coming from the other

angle; wireless headset to take /make phone calls, with the secondary

attribute that i could listen to music/ streaming video in all it's

wireless glory.

I just purchased a second set of jr3 freedoms from Best Buy, thinking

that surely my "unique" problems must be due to defective product.

Well, seems that the second pair is the same as the first. People that

take calls from me on the headset say that they can't understand me..

that it sounds muffled, like ive wrapped something around the mic. When

i turn it off and put it on speakerphone.. they all say.. There! now you

sound great!.. This is really disappointing for me.

So, i'm wondering if any of you use he headset to explicitly make phone

calls? Or, do you just listen to music and occasionally take a call and

let the caller suffer muddy voice? Or do you (if you take/ make calls)

find that the freedom mic is on par with the phone mic? (via caller

response or lack of response)

I have to take these back and find a different solution unless any of

you has a suggestion. And for that matter, what would you advise both

wired and wireless if you were to get something other then the freedoms?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Ovrclck:
Can't really say as I don't own an EVO, you could try calling their tech support?

I think it might be rom based, you should try making a nandroid backup of your current rom and maybe trying an updated or different rom for testing purposes. I just use the headset for music while working out, but yesterday it wouldn't let me answer the phone with the headset on..that pissed me off lol. I don't have any issues with it being muddy. One thing though, the range is really terrible, I would have my phone in my hand walking home and it would start to cut out.
[Thunderbolt Accessories] hshan:
D3TH METAL ,

I see you updated your radio and rom yourself. I'm running the same rom and kernel. However, what radio did you update to? 2.0 or 2.5? I'm on 2.5. Wonder if that makes a diff?
[Thunderbolt Accessories] Ovrclck:
I'm actually on bamf 3.0 with imo's 3.3.8 gbtest. Haven't had a chance to update my sig yet. Forgot to answer your question, I'm using 2.5
[Thunderbolt Accessories] hshan:
D3TH,

Thanks for trying to help.

I ended up calling Jaybird support on my freedoms. Support couldn't

understand me until i turned on speaker phone and bypassed the freedoms.

He suspected the thunderbolt phone was the problem. But because i had possession of two of them

to test out (my rooted and my wifes stock)I had my doubts. He asked if i could have a

friend on a different phone test both of my freedoms that i had bought.

I went back to Best Buy and had a wonderful no hassle experience of

returning both pairs (sadly) . I really wanted them to work out!

I bought a jawbone era headset. (sadly not stereo!). But! And a big but

for me, people i talked to said that it was crystal clear as good or

better then the phone.

Now i see that Jawbone and their wonderful "beta" MyTalk, doesn't

support linux . Oh well, might be looking at the sony next.

Thanks for help. I'll be keeping my eyes/ears open for future jaybird

products. Good luck!

Hi

I been using these for a couple of months now and really enjoy them but this morning at the gym I was unable to pair the headphones. I get the out of range or turn the device on error message.

I've since tried pairing the phones with my iPad, iPhone and Desire with the same result.

Is there anyway to hard reset these headphones?

Anyone else experience this and what would you recommend I do?

I'm based in South Africa and purchased these from Advanced MP3 in the UK. It would be a cumbersome and expensive process to have to return them.

TIA

Hmm maybe you could try letting the JF3's fully discharge and see if that helps

It appears to be the Flash ads that are driving it crazy, so no problem with those on the iPad heh. The TF tries to render all of them, and although they do work they are very slow.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] y2jdmbfan:
You would think that without flash installed, it wouldn't try to render them, but it appears to get stuck on them for some reason. It doesn't make a difference with or without flash, still unbearably slow. Can we pay $5 a month to get the flash ads turned off? LOL...

Not sure it's the Flash ads. I have the browser set to only load Flash on demand, so the Flash ads are not shown. And it it's still extremely laggy.

I just tried switching to "XDA Classic", that fixed it. Ugly as hell, but it works now.

Ok, not sure where to post this but it has to be rom related or maybe kernel

this has been going on for a little while now and i cant figure out whats causing it..

it may be temp related but it has been doing it when the temp is normal too...

basically, it reboots and doesnt stop, i have to take the batt out and then it will reboot normal.

i tried different kernels and roms, they all have been doing it...

not sure if something is damaged like the batt or phone but im getting sick of it..

any ideas?

i got this evo when it came out, it was rooted from day one and i have been able to OC heavy at times..

im not over doing the OC since i know how much to push it there... the undervolt is fine.

HTC phones are very picky meaning that after flashing so many ROM's it can cause bad mtd blocks. Thus the phone does not let the it boot proper. I'm not saying that this is the problem but it could be one. If I were you I would try to flash a RUU and wait a couple days to see if the phone acts normal. If it does try to flash a ROM and see if it starts again, if it does then it may be a bad mtd block. You should do a log cat so we can see where and why the phone will randomly reboot.

sideload is mean that you can install an apk from your SDcard.

It also means you can install Amazon App Store (currently blocked by AT&T) and download apps from there.

Its more than that. Sideloading basically allows the installation of third party apps from anywhere, which means that you're no longer restricted to the app market. To enable it use gladenable, which you can find in the development section.

I highly recommend Calkulin+Clemsyn combo rom. It's super fast, stable, and is based on the TnT stock rom. Very easy to use for newbies.

PS - with the rom I linked to, market fix and flash have already been applied. All you need to do is flash root and the Calkulin+Clemsyn combo rom and you're set.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtb86:
what about all of that wiping and stuff. i have to do that also, correct? can any step of this completely brick the device?

thanks again!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
None of the steps will brick your device however i would recommend an iPad
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goodintentions:
Ok, here are the instructions, since I feel particularly good today on my day off.

(1) Follow the instruction on that other link for installing ClockworkMod.

(2) Create a folder in your sdcard name "rom" or "ROM" or "hoogabooga" or whatever name you want. Just make sure you remember the folder.

(3) Download the file I have included in this post (down below) called Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL.zip.

(4) Download your choice of rom. There are now half a dozen to choose from. Calkulin+Clemsyn combo is the fastest and most stable according to my experience.

(5) Put those roms into that "hoogabooga" folder you created in your sdcard. Turn off your gtab.

(6) Startup into clockworkmod by pressing the power button and the volume + button and keep pressing the volume + button until you see something appearing on the upper left hand side of the screen during the birds.

(7) Scroll up and down using the volume control. Go down to where it says "install zip from sdcard" and press the house button.

(8) Choose zip from card.

(9) Go to your hoogabooga folder and choose Calkulin's_FORMAT_ALL.zip.

(10) Press the back button and go to advance.

(11) Choose the 2nd choice where it says wipe dalvik cache.

(12) Go back and pick install zip from sdcard again. This time, choose the rom that you chose.

(13) After it finishes "installing", reboot. Note that the first time the device boots into a new rom it will be very slow. Just let it sit there and do its thing. If you try anything at this point, you will screw up your machine. So, just let the darn thing boot up, please. We got enough users coming in here complaining about why their machine is screwed up because they did something while it's booting up. Good god...

Please be aware that I wrote the instructions thinking you have common sense. In other words, use common sense. Where it says "running" or "installing" or whatever then you're suppose to wait. Don't just follow the instructions blindly.

Unless the user does something stupid like interrupting a startup process, the gtab is fairly hard to brick.
