Hello ppl, I guess for some this is the one milionth thread they see with "how can I solve the mono mp3 problem".
Still this is a big enough problem to test any possible solution (at least for me)
after looking on countless forums about the mp3 mono problem, I stumbeled upon one, which posts a strange solution. I tested it partially, and the results were partially good
quoting from the original thread:
Every 3230 user pay attention...now therz a solution to the mp3 problem... just follow these steps and ull get an mp3 player in ur phone which would be comparable to any other phone in the market and even the ipod...
1. get the latest firmware update version 4.026
2. install the viking 3.5 mp3 player..
(now comes the good part)
3. now connect your handsfree to ur handset and play any mp3 through the viking player.
4. while the mp3 is running in the backgroung restart your phone ( with the handsfree plugged in..
Now play any mp3 again and
WAAALLLAAAHHHH.. you have got urself an extremly loud and clear mp3 player( amazing clarity) in your 3230 and u can even control the bass and everything using the equaliser in the software..

-well, I kind a did all that, except that I didn`t upgrade my firmware 😊, I still have the 3.05..... firmware
-the interesting fact is that this mp3player has a built in equalizer, which greatly amplyfies the sound, the downside is that u can still here that extremly annoyng backround static sound (hissing sound), except when u turn the volume so high that u`re eardrums would hurt
-the equalizer doesn`t have anything to do with that "restart the phone while u play an mp3" stuff, it just works
-I had tried the restart stuff, and it didn`t work, but keep in mind that I haven`t upgraded my firmware. If anyone with a 4.05 firmware can test this theory, please post u`re results. I really don`t wanna go upgrade my firmware if it doesn`t work.
-btw I don`t think this can make mp3`s sound stereo, but I really hope it can make them more clear, that background noise is really iritating
