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

Answering calls when open and Speakerphone mic volume

Hi,
Is there anything that can be done to improve the mic volume when on speaker phone - I have had complaints when more than a foot or so away that people can't hear me.
I have the phone open on my desk most of the time and am just trying to work out the best way to deal with calls as they come in. At the moment unplugging the USB and then flipping the screen and then trying to answer the call seems a bit ham fisted and I keep on loosing calls

I personally never use my MDA Pro as a conventional phone. I find it too bulky. My own method is to always use a bluetooth headset.
If I was in your situation, I would have the Universal open on my desk, with the bluetooth headset lying beside it. When the phone rings, simply put on the bluetooth headset,press the call receive button on it, and away you go.

You don't really need to flip the screen, just close it and then use the green button to answer the call. Will work fine with the USB connected if you don't mind people looking at you strangely.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the responses.
I don't have a headset so haven't gone down that route yet. Will they work with Skype and VOIP software etc on the phone?
As for closing and then picking up, I'm wondering if the phone has a problem because I have tried this a couple of times and have lost the calls although I am generally unplugging the USB, closing the phone and then answering - have only had the phone a couple of days so still getting the hang of it.

Hmmm....can it be used when in pda mode to answer and make calls... I have tried this, but I think either my machine's mic & speakers dont work on the inside (screen side) of the clamshell, the other person on the line can't hear, and I hear their voice (distantly), which means it is coming out of the back of the screen, not the front. Its either that or the device just isnt designed to work in this orientation.
Has anyone else tried recieving or making calls with the screen facing out in portrait mode?
Re the Bluetooth headset answering method, great idea, I do this, but I have found that sometimes my o2 blue headset loses the pairing when I press the answer call button, so I lose the call anyway.
Can anyone tell us how it should work, will the recent rom upgrade fix this, is there even a mic and speaker on the inside lid?

The Mic is right next to the power button, so it is as close to your mouth when in PDA mode or closed. Also There are two speakers on the hinged lid, in PDA mode it's the slightly recessed oval shape 10mm from the top dead centre.
I've never discovered a software method of disabling this speaker. Possibly a hardware fault? Might be worth discussing with your handset provider

FaceDown and stop Call

i was think if it's possible to put your diamond facedown to end a call, and if the device is facedown when you receive a call you have to answer uptarnig the device...! there is alredy an application for this ?
sorry for my bad english

Really cannot see any point to this. I mean who in their right mind leaves a phone turned upside down to begin with? However turning it from face up to face down signifies you do not want to take the call, hence MUTE.

I cannot get the mute call on face down to work!
It is all set up in advanced config but doesnt mute!

Bluetooth Handsfree problem

I have a Jawbone which was paired to my HD2. When I make a phone call it works, but when I receive a call it doesn't work. Has anyone experienced this problem? Has anyone solved it?
Also, when I place the set face down it doesn't automatically switch to speaker. Is there a setting?

1 - Answer the call on the handsfree and not on the phone.
2 - It has to be on perfect horizontal position to work (if not calibrate the g-sensor)

1- I always answer the call through the hands free but the call goes on the phone. Maybe a reset would do it.
2- Thanks didn't know that. It actually works

bluetooth handfree issue

I use a BT handfree, but sometimes I may want to answer a call using the phone itself.
If I slide to answer, I don't expect the phone to transfer the call to my handfree. It has been working in this way for all the phones I used previously
However, N1 will still transfer the call to my handfree in this situation....Any solution? (other than pressing the bluetooth soft button on screen)

That was what I was going to suggest. One additional button-press doesn't strike me as terribly burdensome.
Anyhow, the way it works makes sense to me. If I have a bluetooth headset stuck in my ear, chances are I'm going to want to use it for the call, even if I answered the call using the slide just because I picked up the phone to see who was calling and slid to answer while I had the phone in hand rather than using the button on the bluetooth device.

I Have been driven nuts by this for ages, to me the nexus one does it right.
My car handsfree answers after 4 rings, if I really didn't want to miss the call I'd press on the phone to answer, only then to panic when I couldn't hear them and then have to use speakerphone and turn off the radio manually and then have a really difficult conversation.
now, if the handsfree is connected it's always used.... I think there is a privacy function (that's what it's called on some other phones anyway) which will switch the call to the handset.

lol i don't know what you guys are smoking.... but it is up to personal preference i guess.
It would be better if we have an option for that so everyone will be happy
