the solution!



Keywords: Smartphone SPV C500 smart phone headset profile speakerphone
profile minijack



The Problem:

Your phone is stuck on Headset profile, even if you try and change it
manually.

You can change it to speakerphone if you make a call and put it in
Speakerphone (hold down green button), the phone will now be stuck in
speakerphone.



The Solution - that worked for me:

I too had blown down the minijack, sucked it (that didn't taste nice), blown
down the battery part, and finally, after it still no luck, stuck a cocktail
stick up and down all the sides of the minijack (headphone socket).



I had given up, and was preparing the phone to send it back to the
manufacturer to fix, in doing so I needed to delete over 1000 txt msgs, I
figured the simplest way to remove everything from the phone was to
re-install the firmware, or Windows!



So follow this link for the ORANGE firmware for spv

http://web.orange.co.uk/assets/sw/RUU_v0.995_OrangeUK_v4.1.1.4.exe



After I had done that, my PHONE WAS FIXED.



So I dunno what had happened, maybe it had been stuck so long the software
had gotten totally confused, who knows, but its fixed now :)



Hope this helps someone.

When it happened to me I just changed the registry, using
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 came back in Normal.
