Hi all,
Does anyone know if it is possible to decrease the time nescesary when pushing the green caller button to toggle between speakerphone (handsfree) and normal phone mode?
Can this be done by altering a registry value?
No one?
Or is it simply hard-coded into the phone app?
I am interested in the question too. Doesn't understand why is not a sp button next to the mic. mute button in the menu bar. Grrr
Still no-one has a solution?
???? no solution yet?

Hi,
How exactly is this thing supposed to work? im talking about the button on the stereo headset that comes in the box.
There seems to be no logic to me answering a call, i have to press it repeatedly to answer, pressing once or twice or even holding it in doesnt seem to answer. So far the magic number is 4 quick presses and bing it answers.
It does nothing at all if i press the button to make a call, I expected it to wait for a voice command if I do this?
Weirdly once IN a call if i press it, it will put the call on hold and another press takes it out of hold, probably as designed and suggesting the button isnt broken.
This is my second JJ too. :?
I just dont get it :roll: Roll on the Samsung SBH-100 Bluetooth headset!

I remember in my old Nokia (or maybe Motorola or Ericsson) days, I could have my handset answer automatically within 1 ring if it was plugged in to the hands-free kit. I'd like something similar with the Universal so that when it's in landscape mode as a bedwarfed* laptop, it answers on speakerphone on any keypress, otherwise it behaves normally. I guess I'd better look into the telephony APIs...
Hi,
It's driving me nuts that when you answer or initiate a phone call on the Universal with the device in landscape mode (with no headset plugged in) that you still have to use the onscreen button to change it to speakerphone mode. There's no other way to use the phone when it's in landscape without using a headset, so why doesn't it default to this behavior?
Is there a registry edit or hack that could accomplish this? If not, what about a hardware keyboard shortcut to toggle the modes? Either way it would be helpful, especially when answering a call while driving with your Uni in a car cradle.
galt: this isn't a solution, but can you do me a favour and test these two out.
If it works, they could potentially be inserted into a background task like VJBigPhone to detect switch to landscape and switch the speakerphone on.
WM5 only for now at least.
VJSpeakerPhoneOFF
VJSpeakerPhoneON
I'm afraid this is untested, since I don't use my Universal as a phone. But who knows!
You might also be generally interested in my tiny apps, VJPhoneShortcuts,

Sounds great, worth a try! I'll check it out and let you know how it works.

this doesnt work vj
Nothing happens, it just switches to the phone application....without the speakerphone powering up...

PS: I tried it on an XDA2 running wm5
They seem to work fine to toggle the speaker phone on and off. If you can make them status aware that would be awesome! Please do advise any progress towards this.

Holding down the Green call key on the keyboard puts my Exec into speakerphone mode when a call comes in...
Galt: so they work ok to enable the speakerphone? If so, I'll put them into the VJPhoneShortcuts cab.
Silicon's suggestion might be easiest, but for the landscape auto switch:
they can try to enable speakerphone, but only when you're in a call. So it would only work if you changed to landscape while you were in a call. Then it would detect change and switch to speakerphone.
But that seems a little bit of a contrived set of cirumstances. Pressing the green button might be easiest! Alternatively, to program, it would have to monitor if any calls come in while in landscape, and if they do, automatically switch to speakerphone. That's not pretty to program

Glad you got it sorted!
Did VJSpeakerPhoneON/Off work though, just for reference?

Sorry, I probably should have been more clear in my previous post - the on/off apps worked to toggle speakerphone durng a call. Too bad making them orientation aware is such a pain, would be great to have it auto-switch.
I'm away on holiday for a week from Monday. If you remind me when I get back, I'll try to write it.
The problem is though, as I said, it will only go into speakerphone while you're on a call. So unless you change orientation while in a call, it won't do anything, so it will have limited function I guess.
Good to know they did something though!

When using TomTom holding down the GREEN answer button doesn't put it into Speakerphone mode for some reason, even if I answer the call then hold down the button.
Hi,
Is there any way of answering calls on the speakerphone just by pressing a button? Currently (unless I'm missing something), you have to answer the call, and then press the "speaker on" button, and I would like to reduce it to a single press.
I've tried Teksoft Speakerphone, but I do not understand very well how it works.
Thanks in advance for your help

On my Dopod 838 Pro, I can answer with speakerphone by holding down the send button (button with the green phone icon on it) for a couple of seconds when answering the call. Likewise to toggle speakerphone on and off, simply hold down the send button for 2-3 seconds while in a call.
I learn somthing new everyday
Thanks for this tip

Great. It also works on my HTC Tytn. Thanks for the tip embeeowes.

Ok, I've looked everywhere and can not find a real solution for the low voice volume in Navigon. The app does not have any volume adjustment in settings and it is way to low for any real road use. I got close to resolving it by reading a post somewhere else where the guy figured out that you could actually adjust the app volume when the voice is speaking. I tried it and was surprised to hear it work. Only problem is once the voice stops giving directions the volume reverts back to its previous level, BUMMER!! I don't know if this is a JellyBean issue or what? So unless you sit there and turn up the volume every time the woman is speaking you're out of luck. I installed the Nexus 7 in my car specifically for this app and now I can't hear it when I'm driving. If there is some way to modify the voice volume please let me know? Thanks in advance
