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. :?
Does anyone have any problems while using the simcard not from the model under the name was it sold?I mean ie using Orange sim in XDA or O2 card in MDA Pro. Is it possible that even if the device is unlocked there is a conflict between ROM and a simcard, or simcard and the phone model?
I do experience the very long time to answer the call, even worse because my side buttons don't work at all. And even when I open the lid and answer the call by pressing the screen it takes ages. I uninstalled the SPB Plus, the ringtone is 100kb wav so not too big.
And what I found out: I have an XDA EXEC with O2 rom, it's unlocked and I'm using it with Orange 3G simcard. And the problem exists only with Orange simcard in! When I insert the original O2 simcard, it answers the calls immediately,no delay at all! the side buttons are working, everything is perfect!
Shall I try to find the M5000 ROM or is there anything else I can do?
Another thing: I've just noticed that none of my phone buttons are working :lol: Not the external ones nor the internal ones.
The only thing that came to my mind is that I had these two buttons assign to NEXT TRACK and SCREEN ON/OFF in TCMusic Player. Is it possible that the TCMP is "using" them all the time, even when the program itself is off? So it's like permanent overwriting it's function?
When I deassigned them in TCMP and made a reset everything is working now.
What is going on? :lol:
When my device P3600 received call or sms, the device is powered up, and then all the keys are active. If the device in case some key can be press (by mistake) and activate a program on this situation.
Does any one have a solution for that?
Use the Device Lock Feature in your Today Screen.
I do not like to add one more line to the dotay screen
can I use it without add it to the dotay screen?
If you don't want an additional line on the today screen then the other option is to set the device to request a password after only one minute of inactivity (under "Settings", "Personal", "Lock").

10x, but this is not help, the lock is form power up the the device, and the device is automitly powered up when received call or sms
I use a program called "device lock" that can be mapped to one of the buttons, I use button one when you hold for a few seconds. The app locks the phone and turns off the screen, so when you recieve a call or sms the screen will turn back on but the phone will still be locked.
Have a search on the forums here for it, that where i got it from.
Cheers

in this case you can not aswers a call, when received one - because when the device is lock there is no quick way to answer that call.
or I miss someting here.

Yes you can answer a call, the device lock only lets you use the power, answer, and hangup buttons. When the call is finished it is still locked, unless you unlock it.
I use this one. http://www.mr2-power.com/downloads/DeviceLock.CAB
10x, GREAT, this will do the job
it is work fine - 10x

I am glad you found a way to solve your problem but I don't understand why my suggestion should not work. If you set your device to request a pin after one minute of inactivity if you receive a message the keys will still be blocked until you enter your pin. (I am talking about device PIN not SIM PIN).
And if you receive a call the answer button works even without entering a PIN.

Your solution works too, the only thing is sometimes (for example) I'm sitting on the couch using my phone for email or surfing and watching a TV program. I stop to watch something interesting for 3 minutes and my phone has locked itself with the pin lock. I have to enter the code each time this happens. It can get annoying. If I use devicelock, I lock the keys when I need to, obviously when I'm at home and my phone is on the coffee table, it doesn't need to be locked. I set my device pin lock at 2 hours, that should give the phone enough time to lock itself if I loose it...hopefully.
yeah... but when you loose your phone the device lock doesn´t matter. only reinstall a Rom and your phone can be used.

Yes, very true, but at least they won't be able to see all my contacts, appointments, notes etc. That being said, I always use FlexWallet to encrypt all sensitive information which is synchronized to my laptop.
touch screen and buttons can be locked during a call?
I followed up this thread and found it very interesting. But it does't focus all the problem:
when call's come in, your solutions are ok.
But when I want to make a call, I found there is a nasty *****, clicking to call waiting or to head speaker on, opening a note or calling my voice box etc. etc.
Then I found that it was my ear or my fingers, clicking on the touch screen or my fingers clicking hardbuttons.
I think tat during a call on the normal speaker the only buttons to be active should be "hang on" and "loud speaker on". With loudspeaker or BT on, or call terminated,s screen and buttons should come back to full function.
Anybody knows a solution to this?
Regards, and keep on, its a great forum. i love it.

Hmm this is just "device lock" that we can see in HTCplugin. In my case it does not turn off the screen. It just locks my device. Is everyone has "turn off the sreen" functionality?

I lastly tried the on-off button to block screen during outgoing calls.
I never did this before because I thought it would cancel the active call, but it doesn't.
Ok, I see it's more or less doing what I want. But it's very unconfortable. When I hit it bad, or don't hit it at all, or forget to press it?
Isn't there a posibility to have the screnn sensibility off, only sensibility, until the call is either ended, passed to outer speaker, headset or BT? or perhaps simply until I give it free manually?
It would improve safe usage of that phone remarkably, I think.
If not :-( , well, I allways can press the button ;-)
curious for what solutions you'll find on your problems with incoming calls. Perhaps that will give me an Idea.
Chears
I've complained about this on just about every major forum I have found. Hopefully, someone will eventually write an app to allow personalized device locking. I would set my trinity to not wake for ANYTHING and have ONLY the power button active. I would prefer to get audible alerts (or vibrate) to incoming calls, alarms and messages. Pressing power would be the only way to turn the device on. PIN features only annoy me. This would be very useful anytime I am not willing to immediately respond to a notification - driving, having dinner, in a meeting, etc. It could significantly improve battery life. I store mine in my pocket and accidental button press is a problem as well.
I'm using the latest version of Pocketshield and when I get a call come in on my Leo I slide down on the Pocketshield screen to answer only to find the horizontal HTC slider in the background requiring that to be used too for the call to be answered. Now I really have no desire to turn off the HTC dialler and have to use the default Windows Mobile one as it looks frankly dire. So is there a way to have the Pocketshield slider answer a call without having to disable HTC's dialler in the settings?
Cheers.
Solved, just need to select the Phone tab and tick slide to answer. Seems obvious now.
I have just deleted pocketshield from my Leo. It stopped me being able to use the bluetooth in my car despite the settings showing bluetooth as being able to work normally - it either did nothing when I pressed answer on the car or the car thought it was connected ( and started call timer) whilst it actually wasn't.
Also when taking a call on the phone it would sometimes fail to respond to slide to answer (but sometimes did) and often when it failed to answer properly it locked the phone to a blank screen and I had to remove the battery.
I found it very buggy - even at £10 it was a waste of money. If it is relevant, my Leo (HD2) is on UK O2 network and the phone is on original ROM.
1st software I have bought too - damn, that will teach me.

Yes, I also keep the default HTC dialer than WM default and select PocketShield slide to answer setting. HTC dialer will display soon after I slide the PocketShield bar to answer the incoming call but no need to slide the HTC slide answer bar. They just work fine but a little bit aweful. This is why PocketShield already mentioned in the setting page to better choose WM skin.

As well works fine on my HD2 (used with 1.48 and 1.66 ROMs and with a couple of cooked). Must be something wrong with your installation. Why don't you contact them for support?

I use HD2/Pocketshield with my Garmin nuvi bluetooth.
I can answer from nuvi if i am using :
WM dialer OR
HTC dialer without "slide to answer"
But the call is not answered if i use HTC dialer with "slide to answer" even if i press "Answer" on nuvi.I have to answer from the phone itself.
But they have already mentioned that there may be some problems with this setting.
No hanging for me yet and i find the software extremely usefull...
Hi all!
I have a problem with my HD2, that it won't lock after ending the call which I received while it was locked.
I'm aware there are threads about this, but none has a definite solution. So I contacted HTC support, and they told me to flash newest ROM. Before I do that, I want to check with you will it really help.
So please, try following procedure, and tell me your results:
1. Lock the phone.
2. Have someone call you.
3. Phone should unlock, allowing you to answer.
4. Answer.
5. End call (doesn't matter if it's hardware button, red end button, or caller hangs up)
6. What happens now? Is your phone locked (as it should be according to manual and common sense) or is home screen shown, and phone is not locked.
Thank you. Please also state your ROM.
Followed your steps. It really doesn't relock the phone o.o.
I'm on Dutty's 1.8

I have the same issue, tried have used several roms and none lock after hangup. its a pain when using headset and the phone is in my pocket...
Thank you for your replies. It strange how it doesn't bother more people, to me it's almost as big as SMS issue. We should all write to HTC.
being as i don't actualy use the phone for talking to people much i haven't noticed this but yes i totally agree this is bad
it probably doesnt bother many people as all you have to do is press the hang-up hard-key and it locks the screen...
I am running the latest 1.66 WWE standard ROM - same here remains unlocked after call.
I have tried pocketshield which does lock after call BUT it is VERY VERY buggy. It keeps changing settings on its own and at the moment I cannot access the keypad in a call so I can't use an automated service where you press number - pulling my hair out.
I have tried Dutty, Miri and Leo Lite Roms - they don't address the issue.
This is a major problem for me - never occurred with my HD (blackstone) so why has HTC introduced this and not sorted it????????
I'm using official 1.66 ROM amd the HD2 does not lock after a call, especially bothers me as I use Bluetooth pretty much all the time. resorted to using touch lock pro and lockandoff. setup touch lock pro to use tapi, and also to run lockandoff on hangup.

The keypad issue is resolved in the newest beta 3.2.9 (http://forums.jdbp.mobi/phorum/read.php?3,7368). This version also allows to "auto unlock" by using the proximity sensor which is very handy on the HD2.
About changing settings on its own... no idea, never happened to me
do you know if there is a registry string to make sure to lock the phone immediately after a call is from the screen or hardware button?
Thanks
A very simple solution (although a bit boring in time) is to use a password to unlock your phone. If a password has been used, the phone locks right after a call ends.
I know it's not the funniest thing, having to enter a password each time you want to unlock your phone, but hey, it does the trick!
And yes, it really is bad! Much cheaper and less sophisticated devices do that... Pfff...
both s2u2 and pocketshield have this ability. s2u2 is free, but pocketshield can be had for about 7.50. Much more functional than the stock lockscreens.
pocketshield I tried but I hate the screen because it hides the taskbar, possible that there is a registry string?
I downloaded S2U2 and tried it. Looks like a nice app at first, but:
a) It removes the "mute ringer" button when receiving a call. You may not see the exact same message, cause I'm translating from Greek, but I am talking about the gray button under the answer/reject slider.
b) It removes the "silent when I pick up" option. Again translation from Greek, I am talking about the option to turn down the ringer when you lift the phone.
c) After the application is removed (eventually, I couldn't live without the two forementioned features), I had the same problem I had before, the phone wouldn't lock with the "power" button, nor would it lock after some time of inactivity.
Code:
showpost.php?p=8029180&postcount=14
I had to hard-reset it once again...
Such a shame...
