Hi All
Im wondering if any of you guys can help me.
I regulary use TomTom on my XDA Orbit and also use the speaker phone to talk on the phone as I drive. I have a problem when I receive an incomming call wilst running TomTom. The notification appears on the bottom of the screen telling me the is an incomming call, but Its a bit difficult getting from TomTom to the phone screen to switch on the speakerphone, without either dropping the call or quickly answering the call, then quit tomtom, then activate the speakerphone. I dont want to use the supplied headset and i dont have a bluetooth headset. Can anyone give any tips? Maybe a taskmanager wich cyles through the active programs using one of the buttons on the side of the phone??? Clutching at straws now maybe??
When a call is incomming, press the green answer button, quickly, and then press and hold it again.
Thanks for your reply. I will try this and let you klnow how I get on.
Cheers
Works a treat. I Have now also mapped the VJPhoneShortut ("Speakerphone ON") to the GPS Button on the handset which gets rid of the 3 second hold (not always easy when driving). Thanks again.

Hi,
Is there any hack/option/software to change the softkey(s) when the phone is ringing? ive tried a search but the utils seem to cover the softkeys during idle time.
My actual problem is, the Oribt is docked in the brodit holder running Tomtom, incoming call brings the notification window to the top, with the option to answer or reject - and return to tomtom.
But.. if the phone is 'keylocked' - as tomtom is now on top (after the call is answered) again there seems to be no way (without exiting tomtom) to get back to the today screen to unlock the lock, to then get to the speaker button - All a bit of a hassle when driving!!!
So what im looking for it to change the 'Answer' softkey to Answer on Speaker
Phonealarm will somewhat allow this through profiles, but i'll never remember to change profiles each time im in the car!!
Any Ideas anyone?
Bump.
Any Ideas anyone?
Unfortunately no solution, but as I have the same problem I will risk a small kick
--EDIT--
And a small search in the manual gave me this answer:
During a call, tap Speaker On, or press and
hold TALK until the speakerphone turns on. The
speakerphone icon ( ) appears in the title bar.
Now see if it works during TOMTOM operation
I am using an 8125 with Slide2Unlock and the Iphone dialer pad. Even with the standard dialer phone pad, if I want to stop using the headset during a call I must use the menu button at the bottom and select "Turn Hands-free off".. There are times that I do not want to use my BT headset or vehicle hands free unit. I would like to know if anyone had extracted that command and if it could be placed on the "in call" dialer skin as a hot button, like hold or mute, without having to go through the menu to access it. I don't need anything fancy that toggles the bluetooth on/off, in fact I would like to leave that unaffected. Simply a command that shortens the finger strokes of going through the in call menu and setting the handfree status.
Thanks in advance to brain tank.....
Does anybody have any ideas????? Please would really like an app like this....
Please Please...really want an app like this but I have no idea how to make one.
Thanks
have you tried holding down the green call button whilst in a call? Works on my SPV M1000 to turn speaker phone on....

Speaker phone is not my issue, I want to toggle between Headset and Handset while in a call. Like pressing menu/Handfree off.

I tested a today plug-in which did it, unfortunately I don't remember the name. AFAIK it is the only software capable of doing it while in a call, so.... hope you'll find it
I'm sorry if this has been asked in the past, but I was wondering what happens to your navigation screen when a phone call comes in or when you need to place a call? Now it would be nice not to be doing several things at one time, but if a call comes in while you are trying to navigate, doesn't the call menu come on screen? How do you suppress that? Just wondering as I am looking to get a TP2 via AT&T. Thanks.
Dunno about other kit, but my copy of TomTom6 produces a popup on my iPAQ hw6915, and all I hace to do is answer the call (I use a BT headset with it when driving to stay roadsade as much as possible). The voice directions from TomTom remain muted while the call is in progress, by the way.
hi
While using GPS (GARMIN XT), the phone screen appears in case of incoming call.
I always use my bluetooth earphones while using GPS.
GPS voice will be thru the speaker and call on bluetooth.
After the call, the screen turns back the the GPS view automatically.
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.

Hi all!
SEA Rhodium, 6.5 with VC 1.6 from links here...
Quick press Call starts phone, 2 quick presses starts phone, calls last,
Long Press Call button starts VC and it listens for me.
HTC wired headset (Stereo headset symbol shows in notification area), quick press nothing, 2 quick presses starts phone, calls last (then quick press ends call), long press does nothing.
I'm hoping and expecting that a long press on the headset switch will start VC and then VC will listen to the headset mic - just like the hand set, and like my old Startrek!
Have I missed anything? Why doesn't the headset switch completely act like the call button?
(bump?)
Hi all, still trying for help or confirmation...
My old Startrek would let me push headset button, beep to me, listen for command and on from there...
My TP2 will let me push long handset call button, beep to me, listen, do my bidding...
On wired headset, single push does nothing, long push nothing, double push does last call (just like handset!)... In call push gets me hold on/off, long push hangs up.
I don't understand why, if headset switch can replicate the call button,
why VC doesn't beep in and listen to me on single long push? It seemd so natural on my Startrek...

Anyone else? Am I wrong, wrong headset, operator?

It isn't based on the device you use. The headset needs to support that feature.
