Back in January I posted that the
K-Jam had an issue where the sound totally dies with a trick to fix it, short of doing a soft reset. Well, last night I accidentally discovered the cause and an even easier fix - and yes, this still happens with the new AKU2/MSFP enabled ROM from I-Mate.
I got a phone call, but instead of ringing, the device was silent. I have mine set to vibrate as well which is how I knew it was an incoming call. I took my Jabra BT-250 headset out of my pocket and put in my ear. Before I could press the answer button on the headset, the phone rang one more time - right in my ear! Normally it rings at the device and the headset has a nice soothing electronic beep that sounds like it is in a glass of water - nothing that could damage your ear drum.
That got me thinking. The sound on the K-Jam isn't dying, it is being transferred to the headset for some reason. It happened again today and the fix was simple. Just press the button on the headset. Somehow it is getting turned on and pressing it turns it off, sending the sound back to the K-Jam speaker.
So, case solved. Not sure why this happens or if it is the Jabra BT-250's problem, a problem with the K-Jam or a problem with the BT stack that Microsoft provides for the K-Jam. If this is happening to any of you, let me know if you have a bluetooth headset and what the model is.
