I ride a motorcyle to work. When using the media player to listen to music on the blackberry Curve 8330 and a wired headset the music will stop playing. If I hold my hand over the microphone on the headset it will start playing.
After going through the forums it seemed to be the VAD. So i followed the steps and deleted it from the phone but it still is happening? any idea why? It also happened on the pearl before I got the curve

how about getting a wired headset without a mic?

Sorry I don't have a better resolution for you.

I use the headset to talk to people still while im riding or else I would. I dont understand why its still doing it without the VAD on it

Is it a full duplex headset? i.e. Can you speak AND listen at the same time? It may be cutting out the ear piece when the microphone picks up noise.

Ive used the standard blackberry one that came with the phone and a stereo headseat from the sprint store that si the same one made by sony with the peices that go around the ear and both of them do it

Bad headset (short or the like).......have you tried with another headset? that will tell you for sure if the issue does not replicate........
