I have an idea i dunno if anyone does require this feature... well here goes...
whenever we try to dial, sometimes it does happen that either the person on the other line doesn't pick up or it is engaged [don't u jus hate tht ] anyway this is where it get's interesting, wht if we cud link the External Speaker to the Light Sensor in such a way tht when we dial the number, it gets connected to the external speaker giving the ringing tone and if it does get connected we will put it next to our ear and the external speaker gets disabled which will enable the internal speaker voila!!!
Anyway I hope I explained wht I was trying to say.... do you think this feature wud be possible....
I like the idea, but it wouldn't work when its dark outside

But wouldn't it still be worth having even if it doesn't work in the dark?
I'd say it would.

Has anyone figured out how to record phone calls on the XDA2??
I have tried just about every recording app out there and the only way I have been able to do this is using the phone on speaker and recording in notes or sound recorder.
:shock:
From my experience no need to use the speakerphone.
Just using the phone on your ear will record both yourself as the other side (maybe my volume is higher than yours :? )
Pity though one cant use this when using a headset or carkit . . .
Thanks, it works.... I didnt think that it would. I would like to get an app to automatically record phone calls, any ideas??
Don't know what is wrong with mine, but when I press the record button during a normal conversation, my voice is recorded and the voice of the other person is very soft very soft... Hard to hear.
What could I do about that?
It happens to me exactly the same as j_met.
I can hear only my voice...
@ edsub
Can you hear both sides equally loud and clear?
Thank you
I hear the other side just a bit softer than myself.
Good enough in a quiet environment.
My in-call volume is set half-way.
Same for me and very annoying. I think this dumb device only records what you say to the microphone. If you can [barely] hear the other person, it's only because your volume is so high that the microphone picks it up..
why in the world would you need to record only what YOU say?? I think it must have took at least 3 engineers to build it this way.
~zzz
BTW, I have W2003SE 2.02 ENG installed and still no improvement

Ever heard of memo-recorders??
Recording a phone call is a nice extra (its posibility is nowhere stated/promised). Pity it doesnt work with all devices.
Hmm it seems to work well with mine in all places except very loud environments. In some instances it would not have been possible for it to have picked up the other end through the speaker (too much noise) but it still records them... not sure how it works!

You may also want to read http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3&p=513&more=1 on this subject - it gives a nice overview of what you can expect from PPC PE devices and what applications there're to (even automatically) record phone calls.
when i call from skype it work on speaker, i whant change to eyer speaker how i can do it, whithout handfree... in htc diamond
Please use the search function. There are multiple threads on this. Short answer: impossible
lol I just wanted to ask that q
too bad cuz its impossible I dont wonna someone hear my private converzation..
Maybe you should talk to the guy from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421848&highlight=earpiece since he claims he did to for phones with OMAP processors. The Diamond/Touch Pro don't use that type of processor but maybe he knows how to fix it for the Diamond too.
I don't get why there isn't more interest in that thread, it seems one off the flaws of VoIP/Skype...

There is a work around that I have found. If you turn the sound down on the phone to the absolute lowest without being muted (sometimes requiring the stylist depending on your Finger size ) Then put the phone up to your ear like normal and it is nice and quiet, you can still hear them, they can hear you and they hear no echo either.
The sound must be so low that there is just one bar highlighted with the second bar having a slight shadow over it. Anything higher and the person on the other end will hear echo.
or use this app: FRING
http://www.fring.com
fring doesn't work with the earpiece as well as far as I know... or?

Well sounds like it might be hardware. If you've done a few hard resets and tested before installing any software and the problem is still there sometimes, then I'd say it's hardware.
The m/board on the Hermes is not one that you can really work on with ordinary soldering tools. A repair shop could check by using a heat gun to check the contacts on the Mic. If that fails then it's likely either the mic coil or a problem with the contacts at or coming from the USB connector.

I say something more. Now i hear myself on voice note but really quiet like 1/10 normal volume.

Yes, but even with an open circuit / damaged coil, cracked connection, you can sometimes have sufficient leakage current to get a faint response from things like microphones and speakers. I still think it's probably hardware - but thoroughly check all the software possibilities eg clean install, stock ROM etc.
Hm i open hermes but im noob in that stuff so everythink look fine for me with microphone. I clean that think to protecting microfone. The problem of couse dont disappear. But.. its look like always when I plug in usb to spv, microphone start working fine.. Not always but moust of time it is solution.. If it is a hardware what i should to recommand to replace in service? Microphone?
ignore me, re-read what you put and decided i was a nab
Hmmm.. well i'm guessing it's a bit far-fetched.. but is there anything here does helps with the speakers of the X1.. at times, i cant even hear the ring..
I'm new in WinMo and after reading at these threads, i'm juz trying my luck to see whether there's anything that can be done..
Thanks a lot guyz...
Generally, I have no problems with the speaker at all. Only when it's covered, the sound diminishes really fast. Is your speaker by any chance covered? For instance when in your pocket. All you can do is increase your volume with the side buttons, and set it to vibrate + ring.
It's not really covered but it is on my pocket.. and the thing is i work in quite a noisy environment.. so it is a bit hard to hear it sometimes..
yea the sound goes really low when it is covered and only one speaker is there so the sound is very low try using the ring + vibrate mode it may help u little bit and also u can set the option of illumination while ringing.
if i put it in my pocket, i dunno if it is coverd but i can't hear the ring
also, the vibration is so "consistant" that i couldn't feel it.......

Had the same issue with a previous phone
I solved it by wearing a Sony Ericsson BT watch
My watch vibrates (and the tickle is sooo obvious, can´t be mistaken) and tells me who's calling
Maybe a BT watch can help if you work in a noisy environment

I think he meant, he's getting a new phone through HTC.
On to your problem, I have not seen anything wrong with my phone.
can run a test if its only with me or every hav the same problem
Ok go to phone app and press any Number key(it makes a tone) and then right away bring the phone speaker close to your ear for 10 secs and see if u hear any other sound other then the keytone. thanks and let me know the result, thanks a AALLOTTT,

Followed your instructions and "nope" no sound........
Its normal behaviour: turn your volume up all the way, trigger any sound. Then if you have good ears you can hear static at very low volume for about a second. Then the powermanagement cuts power to the amplifier and the phone goes completely silent again.
PS: Same behavior on my desktop PC running Fedora 12. You only hear the static from the soundcard if it suddenly stops ;-)
This is perfectly normal, when the hissing stops, thats the speaker turning off to save power, most other things with speakers do the same thing, it's not worth returning your beautiful Nexus One just for that...
EDIT: sorry, just noticed Volker1's post,
Yeah, I have the same thing, but as others said, it's normal behaviour.
Maybe the amplifier for the speaker is a bit noisier on this phone than some others, hence you can hear it before it gets switched off (might also explain the awful quality of the speaker phone experience)?
