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

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. :?
Every time I turn off my device and turn it back on, if it was on ring mode before it toggles to vibrate mode, and if it was on vibrate mode it toggles to ring mode.
I've done several soft resets, looked at ring settings and changing them... but nothing that I've done has worked. I've searched this and other forums but I haven't found a way to fix this problem so far. I would really appreciate the help if anyone has any clues.
Thank you.
I figured out what was happening. It turns out my communications manager button was jammed and that was what was causing the problem. Fortunately I was able to fix it with a small screwdriver.
First I apologise if this has been asked before but I have tried to look for it on here.
Is there some sort of registry entry that will turn on the back light permanently?
Backlight applet in COntrol Panel, uncheck "Turn off backlightif device is not used for..."?
I have tried this but it reverts back to "Turn off" on a soft reset which is regular occurrence as I use sprite backup.
I found this thread http://www.pocketmax.net/smf/index.php?topic=1220.0 but it doesn't seem to make any difference?
So it seems to be a manual switch each time the device is reset!
I was wondering if anyone knew a registry tweak that would STOP the phone from vibrating (3-4 vibrates ANNOY me ) when you turn the Wi-Fi switch on, on the side of the phone? Thnx
mine doesn't do that... strange?
It's only when the phone is on "vibrate"
maybe there's a noise that you have set to play when wifi is switched, and since you're on vibe, it will vibrate instead.
As I said, I don't have this problem, and neither does anyone I know who has this device.
Then again, we're all professional types who turn off the keytones and sliding sounds right away. Maybe that has to do with it.
is vibrating when you turn the wrieless on
or is it when it finds a wireless ap
I would try in your sounds and notificatins goto notifications
in the selection list select "wireless network detected", make sure the vibrate button is not ticked
Yeah, I don't know what you have set up because mine definitely doesn't do that, even when the phone is on vibrate.
Anyone know how to change (extend) the amount of time the screen will stay on? Or disable auto-shutoff all together?
I have tried Setting> All Settings> System> Power> Advanced> "Turn off backlight if not used for" and "Turn off device if not used for" but changing the times and unchecking the options all together don't seem to make any change with the screen shutting off. It shuts off halfway through messages in visual voicemail, and it's annoying to try and read things on the internet when the screen shuts off every 30 seconds and I have to 'unlock' every time.
Any help?
Thanks!
I haven't tried it, but have you unchecked the auto adjust backlight option on the Backlight tab in that same Power Settings menu?
i havent but i will try it now.
that didn't fix it.
I did a hard reset and now the options in the power settings menu work as they should... going to run sprite backup to restore everything and hopefully it will stay fixed.
ok so after hard reset the backlight would stay on per the settings... then I restored via sprite backup and now it won't stay on again...
Sounds like there is some reg settings you imported, maybe from a cab install you did prior to backup? Not sure of all the keys involved offhand that would potentially affect this.
bump.. It's back. The screen turnoff and turnoff device setting in the power options have no effect.. it turns off the screen after 30 seconds no matter what. Really annoying when trying to watch videos or read an email.
Any ideas?
It's such a pain to hard reset.
From what you've said it sounds like you've imported something in the sprite along with the rest of your stuff. This is the number one reason I don't use back up apps. Buts that's just me. If you can't figure out what app you've installed that is causing it then you will have to HR again and restore apps one by one.
