Phone audio as speakerphone? - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

Can the XDA2s phone be configured to produce loud audio so it can be used as a handsfree speakerphone? The audio from Fonix Voice Dialler is loud but as soon as a call connects it drops to telephone levels.

Yes, during the call, press and hold the green phone key for 2 secs.
I tend to dial the no, soon as it rings, press & hold green key for 2-3 secs till i can hear the ringing. Not bad too.

Thanks.

R O F L, so I have had my MDA3 for almost a year now and ALL THIS TIME I was thinking why in the world would MDA3 not have a speakerphone since my last H6315 (hp) had a neat little icon for speakerphone right by the "talk" button.
Thanks for posting this!!!!

This can also be achieved programatically
Here is an article:

as far as I know all MS smartphones and pdaphones have all had this same functionality since the release of WM 2002

Actually the speakerphone is very device dependent. So we should be more concerned on the features HTC has to offer then Microsoft.
Still speakerphone is a must, so i doubt that it wouldnt be included on a phone-capable device.

XDA IIs & BT800

Is anyone here experiencing a lag of 2-5 secs when making or answering a call with a Jabra BT800 & XDA IIs ?
I can't speak for that exact combination, but if I'm using my headset (a Logitech one) with either my XDA IIs or C500, there are noticable delays between the call registering as incoming on the handsets, and the initiation of the bluetooth "intercept" of that call. I guess it's down to the BT stack of the handset needing to
a) Recognise that there's a call coming in
b) Check that there's a BT headset paired and active
c) Send an incoming call signal to the headset
d) Wait for the headset to respond
e) Pair securely on an uncluttered frequency with the headset
In an ideal world, all of this would be instantaneous
There's also a pause of about 1 second between the time I press the 'answer' button on my headset and when I can talk. Even though I can hear the call in the earpiece, I have to wait for a second before I can say "hello"
In short; I'd say a two second overall delay is probably the time taken for the bluetooth headset initiation to complete, but longer than this might indicate some problems with signal strength etc.

Recording calls

With reference to this topic of applications:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=323942
can anyone tell me if their Dash/S620 records calls without speaker phone activated (with any of the programs and versions)?
thanx.
I just tested. It records phone calls fine (ie. also non-speakerphone ones).
The only thing is, when you PLAY BACK the file it will only play through speaker.
do you have WM6 or WM5?

Can you also check it with a BT headset - that is, is the other party recorded then too?
OK guys I did all the tests.
I spoke a little too soon....
The problem is, only MY VOICE is recorded. The other party is not. (A little bit can be heard sometimes ; whatever gets from the earpiece to the microphone.)
Tried with BT headset. Same thing. My voice is recorded loud and clear (from the headset's mic) but nothing from the other end!
Playback is ALWAYS through the speakerphone , also with BT HS connected.
I'm disappointed because I was so happy earlier on, automatic call recording was one of my dream features but this solution is not there yet

That's bad news - thanks for testing.
It seems you must stick to, say, the Oxygen if you need flawless call recording but still want to have a WM5 Smartphone in your pocket.
I Think Tornado gives the same opportunity, perhaps it's the WM6 thing..anyway, it seems VITO guys are working on it..nice feature it would be though..

Issue with Jawbone Prime and TP2

Hi,
I wanted everybody to be aware of this issue.
When you use a Jawbone Prime with TouchPro2, on every other handset, you can disconnect the call on Jawbone by pressing the send/end key on the Jawbone.
This function of using the end key on the Jawbone does not work on the Telus TouchPro2.
I have gone through troubleshooting with Jawbone, still have same issue.
HTC sort of seems to be aware and will not troubleshoot.
Telus Data support were useless, no troubleshooting.
I believe this may be just an issue on Telus model, HTC was not aware of issues with T Mobile version or European versions.
I will also post to PPC Geeks and XDA developers as well.
Does anyone have a solution/reg edit that will solve this issue?
Dave
same issues w. verizon tp2 and jb prime
verizon tp2. unable to end call from jb prime. voice command, volume toggle, last call commands all work from jb prime. Just can't end a call from headset...
VZW TP2 has many BT Handsfree Bugs
Have similar problems with 2 Motorola headsets and Jawbone on VZW TP2. BT Handsfree has many issues --
1) cannot end calls from headset
2) cannot consistently access voice command.
3) Voice command reads sms and email headers aloud over the handset speaker when set to speak to BT headset only.
4) Dialer touch tones come out of phone speaker instead of headset.
5) Touch screen numeric pad goes blank after ~1minute on a BT handsfree call.
6) And then there is the irritating alert that BT headset disconnected so I should put the phone to my ear -- as if I didnt know I shut the thing off myself or could no longer hear a call! I wish at least that alert could automatically clear after 5 seconds.
I filed a support request for 1-5 with VZW earlier today. Forgot about #6 until moments after I ended the call and turned off the headset. VZW rep gave me HTC Tech Support phone number. Will call them Monday AM!
I had no issue using the JB2 on TMO. I just ordered the JB PRIME and i am helping its the same.
I'm having the same issue with the HTC Ozone. No call/end button, no redial, and no voice command. However, if I reboot the phone, everything works just fine! But then, almost at random, it just stops working again... Any ideas??
If this is anything like my aging Hermes I wouldn't expect a fix from HTC ever
Its depressing to know 3 years later it still seems impossible to get a phone with working ms vc and the kicker is this phone comes with it.

Hearing sound on Bluetooth headset when answering on device?

On my TP2, if a call is coming in and I have the bluetooth headset turned on, the headset will pick up the call only if I answer by pressing the headset answer button. If I answer by sliding the on-screen bar over the green "answer" button, the speaker in the phone itself comes on instead.
Is there a way to change this behavior such that the sound always comes through the headset if it is connected to the device, even if I answer on the phone itself?
I would be interested in this too, as I have a bluetooth car kit, if I accept the call from the car screen it is ok, if I accept it on the phone it routes through the phone.
I'm having a similar issue, but a little more complex it sounds like... When the phone rings and using my bluetooth headset (Jawbone2), I have to:
Press the answer button on the Jawbone2
Ringtone sound now comes through the headset
Remove phone from pocket and Slide2Answer with S2U2
Call is now connected through bluetooth
With my Kaiser, all I had to do was press the bluetooth answer button and the call would automatically pick up. No removing the phone, no pressing buttons or sliding to answer!
If I Slide2Answer on the phone when ringing without "transferring the call to bluetooth" first, the handset picks up the call. Useful in many cases, especially if I can't find the bluetooth after putting it down or in my jacket pocket for the time being. If I use the phone to make a call from the handset with bluetooth connected, it always transfers the sound directly to bluetooth. The problem lies with answering the phone with a bluetooth headset - the 4 steps above need to be completed instead of just #1 like it should be!
if you don't want it to go to the phone you need to answer with the device you want to talk with. thats how bluetooth on phones work, tp and tp2

I get that, If I try to answer the phone on the headset though, just the sound of the ringtone comes through the headset - the phone is still not answered, and is still ringing, just now in my ear! I STILL have to actually answer it via the phone's controls, which is pretty hard to do if you have your hands full........
For the OP Boo boo is correct. Answer the call on the device you want to use.
For Garcia25 the problem is S2U2. I ended up removing it and going back to the built in lock + LockDevice + built-in slide-to-answer.

Turn off speaker?

HTC TP2
WM Prof 6.1
TF3D turned off
I work in a cubicle and listen to music all day via headset. If I get a phone call, I pull out the headset and talk to the person. Once the call is over, my music blares though the speaker until I can quickly volumne it down to silent.
How can you turn off the speaker?
any ideas on on settings, procedures, software that will help solve my little problem?

try this:
just put your device volume to zero (not loudless). your headset should have an own volume changer...
maybe this works
it is also possible to simply complete your call while on your headset. Am assuming you are using the one that came with your phone. This would eliminate the need to unplug your headphones.
