Getting Skype To Use Phone Speaker rather than PDA Speaker

Hello
I have an XDAIIi and am using skype. Ive found that skype outputs to the main pda speaker, not the phone speaeker, and the quality is not a good as the phone one and of course everyone can hear your conversation.
Is there anything I can do or do we have to wait for skype to support this (if they even can?)
Are there any other applications that manage to use the phone speaker?
Thanks for any feedback
Brian

Hi Brian,
I have a Skype with my XDA2i as well & if someone calls me, my XDA's earpiece was the default. If I want to use my XDA's speakerphone (handsfree or where everybody can hear the caller), all I did was to press & hold the "call" button (they also call this as "send" button, the one you press when you answer a phone call) for around 3 seconds. If I want to deactivate the speakerphone, I press the same button for about 3 seconds.
Hold & pressing "call" button for about 3 seconds will activate/deactivate speakerphone. If you still have the XDA2i user manual, kindly check page 48.
I hope this will help you.

you mean your skype can actually work with the earpiece or you mean normal telephone call works by default with the earpiece?

Vmirage & Brian,
I'm so sorry & it was my mistake. I did not realize what I'm typing a while ago. No, you cannot use XDA2i earpiece while on call, the default is the speakerphone (PDA's speaker). Instead, I use my XDA's earphone to have a privacy while on Skype's voice call.
I got mixed up with a normal call & the Skype's voice call.
Again, my apologies.

Have you tried this?

From the authors website
Please, don't even try to run it on other PDAs - it's absolutely pointless

So no I didn't bother

try your BT headset, as IIi support audio gateway. just press the answer button on your BT headset & the sound will be rerouted.

unfortunatly I don't have a headset and really just want to use the phone as normal

Wired Headset Button

Hi Guys,
Just got my S110, which I love. Still trying to learn how different the phone functions are, compared to my C500, one thing I have noticed, and which I feel is a real pain is to do with the suppled headset and its intergration with mobile 2003.
It seems to be fine at answering calls - a quick tap, and that is it, but when it comes to ending a call, i have to hold the button for 3 seconds, and there is also no beep to notify that the call has ended. This is a bit annoying if you end the call with the handset in your pocket. There is nothing to let you know it has ended, apart from looking at the handset.
Does anyone know of a hack to shorten the length the button needs to be pressed to end a call.
Also is there any chance of voice tagging, like a normal phone. I have tried Voice commander, which I think is hit and miss.
Many Thanks

answer/ignore -> where's my mute?

hi all,
if my mda rings, i want to be able to like 'mute' it. i can do this by 'pulling down' the volume slide button (second left from top) while a phone call comes in, but the software keeps showing that the phone is ringing.
is there a way (or software) which allows me to choose to 'mute' the call, while not interfering with my software?: like saying:
"ok i understand someones calling me, don't REJECT that someone, but let the phone ring (for that someone), while at the same time not informing me (anymore) that im being called!"

Use the Volume button to turn off the sound when you receive a call. ( Move it up or down)

Yeah I agree... I'd like to see an IGNORE - or SILENT button like the nokia OS has.
I hate having to pull the phone out of my pocked - look at the caller and think "nah, don't wanna talk to them", and not have a button to click on...
Saying all that, after a month you get used to hitting the volume on the side... one tap and the phone stops ringing...
As far as I know - thats it...

there is a program i used to use with my nokia 6630 which ignores selected ppl's calls, its called blackballer. there are also a couple other programs out there that do the same thing, but dont know of any for PPC, will keep my eyes out though.

hi.
i know of such a program for the ppc pe, it's called:
"Call SMS Blocker Lite v0.5.5"
http://www.aditusnet.it/crino/crisoft/prodotto.asp?id=11
The thing is, here you preset what is blocked or not, and it works OK, but:
It still does not allow you to silently surpress an incoming call AD HOC and carry on with whatever you are doing on your ppc pe :roll:

Bundled hands free.

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...

Sorry, I confused myself! I've got another app that will do this, but use the one in the above post and if you have troubles, I'll try to get it out.

laich71 - this is very nice program to turn ON or OFF the BT, But It does not help me.
When I received a call by press the green button (with BT is ON), I can’t ear the conversation in my BT hand free I need to choose in right menu to turn Hand-free on.
When I received a call with the BT Hand-free, and like to redirect to the speaker. I need first to redirect the conversation to the device in order to speaker can be open.

Carmi,
I think Phonealarm can do it.
Regards

Pressing the green button during a conversation for a few seconds also turns on the speaker.
