Quote this FAQ from myxda.com :
Q. Is it possible to activate the loudspeaker on my xda before choosing a telephone number? Is it possible to permanently turn the loudspeaker on loud, so i do not have to press the green button?
A. There is a way for doing this. The only disadvantage: after a soft-reset this setting is not activated anymore and must be readjusted. Dial any number, for example the Voicemail Box, so that nobody is disturbed by a phone call. Then disconnect and tip onto the signal symbol in the title bar. Tip onto the disconnect telephone button and then immediately press the green button (accept telephone call) keeping it pressed until the note appears: The loudspeaker is activated. The telephone then disconnects, without establishing a connection. The information that the loudspeaker is activated remains. The next step is turning on the telephone. The loudspeaker is turned on instantly with each dialled number. However, you can always turn the loudspeaker on or off by pressing the green button a little longer BEFORE dialling.
I've tried it and there is no response, even I can not get first step (Tip on the disconnect button ). May be this FAQ is only for XDA I ...
Has anybody tried it on an XDA II ?
Has anybody a way to permanently activate loudspeaker on XDA II ?
Yes, I've tried it, it works.
But sometimes could be difficult to activate due to some lag or slow response time for taps ... Once activated, the screen will look like this:
Can yo please explain it step by step ?
I've tried a lot of times, withou results. Thanks
ok, i found this easier:
- Turn on flight mode.
- Press green button for a few seconds until it says "Speakerphone is on". (Don't worry, as you're on flight mode, no call is made)
- Now, turn off flight mode to use the phone and have the speakerphone always on.
Enjoy.
No way !!
Turn On fligth mode.
--Press green Button while in TODAY opens Phone Screen
---Press green button while in PHONE screen shows Buuble "The phone is currently off. Dou you want to turn Wireless on?
I have ROM 1.60.00 WWE
-- Radio Version 1.10.00
You'll have to PRESS DOWN AND HOLD the green button for about 2 seconds. Not just one click.
Of course I did it
Have you been able to activate speakerphone during a call before?
The procedure is the same, press and hold down the Green button should activate, except that this is done when flightmode is on.
It's strange why your unit doesn't behave the same? Try hold down longer perhaps..
@chriswo
sorry for OT, but PLEEEEASSSE let me know the name of that software you're using for the today screen. i've been desperately looking for something like this for ages now.
thanks
regards ize|man
if you mean
chriswo's screenshot
then do you mean the signal strength
or ?
if you're talking about the launcher, it's called cLaunch, it's free.
Yes I can activate it during a call, and as I like it (it works 'sufficient' for me as a hands free for the car) is because I wanted to have it always activated.
May be there is some installed software. Will try to uninstall what is not essential. Can you post your rom & radio versions ?
boyz boyz you're fast as lightning
i just updated the screenshot. pls reload this page.
and YES it's cLaunch i just googled and it seems to be what i need (BIG buttons on the today screen)
thanks a lot
regards ize|man
Alrught, if you find it difficult to activate Speakerphone while on flight mode. try this:
On PHONE display, turn on flight mode and immediately PRESS AND HOLD DOWN the green button. Don't let it go completely on flight mode, so you got to do it while the radio was shutting down.
try that and let us know.
OK, this one WORKED without problem.
Now I have a 'perfect' and 'cheap' handsfree for my car.
THANK YOU very much !!!
Chriswo?
Where did you get that signalstrenght today plug in from ? looks really good
That's HudsonMobile PhoneDashboard.
Anyone notice if you cancel the speakerphone, then enable your bluetooth headset and make a call, the headset stays connected even after you end the call?
I don't know if this really is an advantage or not, I'll see how much more the battery drains if any.
Also, I notice that after activating the speakerphone "always-on", my ringetone gets almost silent. :?
Help! I downloaded Phonealarm from the net onto my xda mini s. after it installed on my xda it said to do a soft reset. now the screen stays off while the phone is on. i can recieve calls as normal but i cant use my phone in any other way as i cant see!
any help greatly appreciated
dug
I've used Phone alarm for a while and didn't had that problem. Are you sure it is not your backlight? I've fooled myself once or twice by turning the backlight off by accident, the hardware button that is. Press and holding the power button turns off and on your backlight while the display is still working. If otherwise then disregard this silly remark.
So its the screen totally switched off or the backlight? What happens if you sof-reset? if suppose you could see the splash screen, then it maybe like some software is causing the issue. Try connecting to active sync & remove any unwanted program from startup folder or you can even un-instsall from active sync.
Hi is there a way to turn off the standby mode..

Ask a mod to move this thread to the Hermes forum maybe?
You are more likely to either find the answer or get an answer in there.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Hardreset and try, if not reflash ROM
Good luck,
Hard Reset I tried earlier but did´nt work.
You do realise the SPV doesn't actually 'switch off' ?
Your power button will merely switch the display off and send the unit into sleep mode. If you want it 'off' you'll need to pull the battery and put it back in. The unit won't power up again until you press the power button.
Sometimes my screen goes blank, other times I can still see the text etc.
I started to use a shutdown exe from my Wizard. It seems to do a better job.
At least, when my Uni is connected to Windows Mobile Device Center, I hit the power button and the backlight goes off, WMDC stays connected. If I use the Wizard's exe it disconnects.
Attached for you to try anyway.
Thanks
If I understund right, this PDA can turn off only with removing battery thats stranger
I've never understood the reasoning behind it either. I suppose you have to consider that it was probably always intended for people to use these as their main phone (I don't - never have) and most people never turn their phones off. I know my main phone is never off. Still, it DOES have the option to turn it off if need be, whereas the SPV only has a sleep and flight mode.
Did you try the exe?
Long clicking the button on my headset no longer activates S Voice when in sleep mode. I've tried everything I can to solve the issue, but no joy. I bought a replacement headset in case that was the issue, but still the same. I've installed the Headset Button Controller app and tried the setting 'Prevent sleep mode', still the same. When I use the debug mode in HBC advanced settings, it detects all button presses apart from long click. It did work, but then just suddenly stopped. The phone is only about a month old, but I don't want to have to try and get a replacement. I'm just hoping that there's people far cleverer than me that might have some idea I can try and to fix this. Can anyone suggest anything? Thanks.
