XDA 2 always on handsfree (speaker on)

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. :?

Intermittant Sending SMS problem

Hi,
Every now and then when I try to send an SMS from my XDA2 I press the send button in the top left corner and all that happens is that the cursor jumps to the end of the "to" field. Nothing else?
In order to be able to send an SMS once in this stat I have to turn off and turn back on the phone part and then everything works fine. It's only infrequently but when it happens it's quite annying.
This is my second XDA2 and both were running the 1.60.00WWE Rom with 1.10.00 Radio and both suffered from the problem.
Has anybody got any ideas?
Thanks,

My machine:

ROM-Date 02/23/04
Radio-Version 1.10.00

ExtRom-Version 1.66.143
Software installed:
Adobe Acrobat
Funny Snake TKCreater

I see that we both use the same radio version.
Anybody else can confirm that bug ?

SMS problem
I can confirm the same problem you have but I noticed the following:
When I turn on the phone from a soft reset and after entering the
PIN for the telco network, the "G" icon (GPRS) briefly pops up
and beep sound is heard. This is normal
Occasionally this "G" icon comes up again and beep is heard for no reason.
When this happen, then I cannot send SMS like you mentioned.
Receiving SMS is OK. Making and receiving calls is OK also.
Also at this time
START--->SETTINGS---->PHONE cannot be accessed.
Nothing happens when clicked.
The only way to get out is to SOFT RESET.
However one time I tried to investigate further and check the processes
and applications, open/closing other software, etc. the system
went into a HARD REST automatically.
I suspect the problem is due to the phone settings software part.
It could also be a SIM card problem or a loose contact with SIM card.
I also have the same ROM.
Anyone has any ideas?

I have the exact same problem recently and that 'G' icon keeps appearing, i find that if i turn my phone onto Flight mode then back to normal, it resolves this for a while but doesnt stop it happening!

Two issues with blackstone...

Hello
I have two little issues I can't find soultion to..
1. My device boots, htc logo appears and then keypad shows up to enter the SIM PIN...but it closes before I input so I have to manually turn off the airplane mode and then turn cellular on...
Is there a way to fix this?
2. The topright corner cross (or sometimes even the OK) should be white (if clickable) but sometimes it is grey..is this normal or I have something bad going on...it works, it is just annoying that sometimes it is gray sometimes white...
If someone knows how to fix these two please let me know...thank you very much...

if only these two issues was the only ones....
Concerning the pin code screen that disappear, instead of put your phone on plane mode, you can just click the call button : it will display the pin code screen again.

ow..thanks you..I will try that one..
and regarding the issues...luckilly I dont have many...

1. This seems to be TF3D - when the phone re-starts from reset it wants the SIM code. But, TF3D starts as well and then takes over the screen. Any use of the phone now will give the SIM code screen. So, the other advice is good: hit the call button. I normally just wait for TF3D to do it's start-up and I normally get automatically the SIM code input screen.
2. I use http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html as a replacement for the OK button. But before I never had the grey OK button. Try exploring the OK button options in start - system - task manager - button

thanks for your help....
ow and btw I hate touchflo
i have standart homescreen customized

If you don't need the security provided, why not turn off the SIM pin entry?

Display automatically turns on

I have quite often the problem that itself the display of my Touch2 switches on automatically.
That means: I switch the mobile phone off (standby - key lock). The display goes off naturally.
But If I look now later sometime on my phone, the display automatically turned on. The key lock is still active, but actually the display might not intervene automatically???
Someone an idea how or where I can adjust it?

nobody an idea? :-(

Hard to say.........assume that you have soft reset your phone already and if this does not help the next step would be to do a hard reset......
Ofcourse back-up your phone before hard reset!!

i have noticed the same on my phone, and i think it could be related to my mobile network operator... just like the network is starting to transfer a call (i'm recieving a call), and then because of a problem or an error the call is canceled, so nothing happens, no messages, but the phone is turned on. it's just an idea, may be i'm wrong... any other ideas?
did the hard-reset helped?

Screen switch-off during calls, doesn't switch back on when trying to get to dialpad

Hi All,
I've noticed this happen a few times now on my handset (XT1622 - Dual SIM, direct from Moto UK) where during a call, I need to enter a number for a menu option (i.e. Dial '1' for sales, '2' for tech support, etc) bu the screen does not switch back on. This also means I'm not able to end calls. The only remedy appears to be to reboot the device with a long power button press.
Anyone else have similar issues?

Appears to have been a strange bug with the Moto app. I disabled 'flip for do not disturb' and 'pick up to stop ringing' and it stopped permanently blanking the screen. Switched them back on and it's still working :/
