SpeakerPhone - How to Activate?

Hey,
I am under the impression the i-Mate JAM/XDA Mini etc have speakerphone ability (to listen to a call on loudspeaker). However I cant find how to do this.
It certainly should be possible, as when I play music its very loud. Ok, the quality may not be great on loudspeaker, but good enough for a phone call.
Regards,
Jez.

If it's the same as all the other devices, hold down the green answer button during a call and hey presto- speakerphone!

Yeah,
just hold the green button for a while ,but I must say it's pretty useless.....
:?

I can hardly hear the other party in speaker phone mode. Moreover, I think that it is a design flaw to put the speaker on the back of the device.

I am looking for a application that can activate speakerphone. without using the green-button.
Is there any such?

Did you ever find a solution to this, (to set the speakerphone through a API) ?

funny
so funny, ive been using my phone (XDA II) for almost a month now, but try to use the speaker phone just today. after i read this thread. heheheh
tnx guys... this means alot to me.. lol^^

speaker phone

does xda ii have speaker phone, if so how can u enable it

Continue pressing the talk button will activate the speakerphone.

Anyone know how to turn on/off the speaker phone by program? Pls! Thanks!

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

help with the master microphone

Hi every one! i have a jasjar, and yesterday I noticed that the master microphone (the one wich is between the word imate and jasjar, the one that you use when you are in the "pda mode") doesn't function: the other (the external one) and the vivoice work fine.
When I'm in the pda mode I can't listen anything, but the others can listen me....
I've found another person which has the same problem: we have the same rom (the only one italian), so I thinked it was a software problem.
Anyone can help me? thank you very much!

no one?

Do you mean speaker? The bit you hear other people speaking from?
Does anyone know if it switches between the outter and inner speakers when using the phone in different modes? if so, is it software of hardware switching?
Sounds like its dead if its hardware. Repair shop for you.

yeah, I mean the speaker sorry for my english.
yes, it switch automatically... I think it's an hardware problem, yes I have the warranty, but they will give me my universal back in a month and an half...

Make sure there isn't any dirt in the headphone jack which might be shorting it out.
Make a call, and see whether you are allowed to press the 'speaker on button'
If you cannot, this would suggest a jack issue.

sorry but I didn't understood... waht do you mean with speaker on button?

There are 3 ways:
1) Press and hold the green Make call button. After 2 seconds, the speakers should turn on for hands free mode
2) Press Menu and select: Speakerphone on
3) Press call status and then click Speaker On

is there a hardware button to answer calls?

sometimes..when there's an incoming call..the screen wont display it for upto 5-10 seconds....and all it shows is home screen while the phone is ringing.
some bug i think
so how to assign button to accept call?
the way power button ignores the call..how do u answer a call with a hardware button?

I hate that "unlock" thing whenever i got income calls.
i missed like 10 calls thanks to it.

One of the reasons i always use the bluetoorh headset.
