Both my colleague and I use XDA2s and we work in the same office. Today, both of us have had incoming calls, while the unit is in its cradle. I took mine out of the cradle, checked who was calling and hit the green button. The call was answered (according to the display) but I could hear nothing. My colleague had exactly the same happen to him, from a different caller. Has anyone else had this, or is there a technique to answering a call when the XDA is in its cradle?
Hello,
I have had no problem answering calls from within the cradle -
I did exactly as you said - picked up the device from the cradle, but I pressed the "answer" button on the screen, all works fine for me.
Cheers
I have answered lots of times the same way with no problems, I've even put the unit on speakerphone... Very handy when cradled...
Did you use a headset before?
The following happend for me once:
I use the headset for listening music. Phone is ringing. I unplug the headset, because I have a poor quality Hama one, and in a loudy bus, the internal speaker of the PDA is better.
But I hear nothing. The only way to take a phone call, with the headset.
I think the PDA's headset connector switch was wrong. After I plug and unplug the headset many times, my wallaby worked. (The PDA felt the headset plugged, so switch off the speaker but the headset wasn't pluged. Soft reset did not help)
This is my story

There is a setting, to automatically switch on speakerphone when PDA in the cardle?
Thanks!
Thanks, everyone, for the feedback. Neither of us had used headphones, but we both have BT headsets, which we had used that morning - one's a Jabra BT200 and the other is a Bluetrek G2. I don't know whether that is relevant or not.
If anyone out there uses a BT headset and can tell me how they select a number from contacts and ring it so that the headset works - I'd like to know! Mine only seems to work if initiate the call from the headset.
(off topic, sorry) is there any way of getting the phone to answer calls/dial calls in hands free mode? or creating a profile that does so (ie when i am in car and xda is in a (non handsfree) cradle.
Re: Thanks!

I do not know if this feature is availble. I did a little search on my imate but did not find such a feature! but will be nice to have it!
The only option available is to asnwer received calls after certain rings!
it would be worth cheching how old the rom version is on your xda2 as there is an issue with the very early versions of the rom (1.03.00) for example. In this version nither the cell line or the gprs cant be connected while the XDA2 is in its cradle. current version should be 1.60.00.
hope this helps
Hi guys,
can somebody please help me with the following problem?
Out of nothing my T-Mobile MDA Vario stopped giving sound with out the headset connected. without any reason and the out of nothing it stops giving sound without the headset connected. this all happends after i installed tornado (a2dp) to get sound to my bluetooth headset. anyone knows whats gone wrong, i search the forums here but couldnt get no clear answers
I had a similar problem. No sound from the speakers at all, but through the headset it was fine. As if the speaker itself was dead. But it wasn't caused by any Bluetooth fault.
Effectively, the phone hadn't realised that the headset had been unplugged. To solve it I was told to rapidly pummel the headset jack with the headset plug. Somehow, after some time, the phone is jogged back into a working state.
then whats the point havina bluetooth headset if u have to carry ur handsfree to get ur fone ringing again normally aint there any better solutions to this
I'm using a Radioshack adapter that allows me to plug in a cassette adapter in my car directly to my 8125. Works awesome- even leaves the internal microphone working so that when I call out it works as a speakerphone through my radio. COOL~!
PROBLEM: the mike does not work on an INCOMING CALL??!?!??!? In other wrods, when I answer the phone, I can hear the caller but they can't hear me. This is not a problem if I call out...
This is driving me crazy! Anyone know the answer?
Hi folks,
can anybody confirm this behavior ?
When I plug in my headset, my ameo still plays the ringtone from ist speakers on an incoming call (yes, the ringtone is also on the headset).
Is there an option i missed ?
Thanks for your help, best regards.
I find this extremly handy, when im driving I dont have the earphone in my ear all the time. It also does it with a bluetooth headset. im sorry I don't have the answer.
first off, i love al bundy
ok now that thats over.... what headset do you have, is it bluetooth or wired headset
Hello everyone,
i have a little problem so i'll try to explain although my english is not so good...
I suppose everyone here notice that, when the headset is plugged, sounds are redirected in the earphone and are captured by the headset mic.
What i want to do is to disable this headset mic, that is to say, keep the phone mic active.
Does anyone have a little idea about this ? Thanks
No answer ?
