how to keep loudspeaker funtion on the phone found it @ mmo2

Is it possible to activate the loudspeaker on my Xda before choosing a telephone number?
Dial a number. Disconnect and tap onto the signal symbol in the title bar. Tap 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.
Turn on the telephone. The loudspeaker is turned on instantly with each dialled number.
thats the info in their faq section but i dont understand???? what ive been trying to do is:
dial 4444....
hit the red button and then click the signal bar at the top of the screen
tap red button then hold green button down....
just doesnt do nothing :\ anyone know how to do this?

figured it out
right.......
phone loaded up as normal
dial any number and use the stylus to tap talk on the screen
then when connected use stylus to hit end on the screen
then quickly tap the signal bar and hit turn phone off or flight mode on
then quickly hold down the green BUTTON and speaker phone will turn itself on and the phone will turn off.
then just tap the signal bars again turn the phone part backon
there you go you now have h/f mode on all the time good for when driving

Yup, it works, a real convoluted way of doing things dont you think but something I have been trying to do for ages and finally gave up. Thanks

i wouldnt call it a propper way of doing it lol id call it more of a glitch in ppc lol but at least it works but you dont get no tones from keypad numbers if you turn them on and then so softreset they come abck on but h/s mode disapears......
but guess whats in my statup folder for some strange unknown reason a shortcut to handsfree.exe i click it it doesnt seem to do nothing but its just appeared in there for no reason.
ive searched windows directory and cannot see handsfree.exe so i linked to my pc to search found it i try copy it over from the ppc to my xp pc with show all files turned on but the icon just dissapears then i try copy it over again and it says do you want to overwrite this file so its on my pc but it just dont show up :\
it would be great if i could get this h/f thing into my startup lol so it comes on when turning the phone on

I can't believe O2 tells people to do this. Surely the effort of coding this small feature s less than the extra hassle of having your customers perform such 'dirty' workarounds.
There's some serious glitches in the support->coders communication pipeline for these devices, I tell you.

i totally agree
it would be nice if it done like......
when receiving a call and the screen pops up answer / reject
if it had aonother box option for like loudspeaker answer that would be cool

Maybe obtuse, but it works
On several occasions, I had fumbled fingered my PPC during a call and wound up with the H/S turned on semi-permanent. I never could figure out what I did. This is great info, but I agree, a nice little app would be a LOT better.
david

when u do this after turning the fone part back on hold the green button it goes off hold it again it comes back on if you tap the green button the telephone screen shows tis pretty cool but the device liek sounds low? till after the softreset

The other way round?
Having turned the XDA II off for a flight by powering down rather than putting on flight safe mode, all phone calls now are handsfree. How can I get it back to 'normal' mode?????
Driving me insane!!!

Can't always answer phone calls!!!

I held off from posting this, because I can't seem to find a reason why it's happening.
Basically, I'll get a phone call. I'm close to the phone, and have no problem answering it immediately. But maybe 3 out of 7-8 calls, I can't answer it. It'll just keep ringing until the calling party gets my voicemail. I hit the green phone button, the left menu button (for answer), even the word "answer" on the bottom of the touch screen itself. No matter what I do, the call will not pick up. Keep in mind, there is no Bluetooth involved. If I do happen to have a bluetooth earpiece on, I can hear the call ringing in the earpiece, but pressing the action button doesn't pick up the call like it should.
I'm at my wits end here. What could possibly be causing this?

Is your memory getting junky? I presume that the call application takes a lot of memory that it got full and had nothing left to take your response back Im not sure though. Do you ever get complaints like no signs of an Incomming call when people call you? I get it sometimes and still exploring to find a solution.

The only 3rd party app I have installed is Opera Mobile. I only run it when I need it, and always use the "exit" option. I keep my phone as fresh as possible by killing unnecessary apps. The only things that stay open are my threaded message chat and Outlook.
As for your missed call (straight to voicemail), this happens to everyone not on 3g. For some reason, voice calls will not go through when there is net access. I don't know why this phone can't prioritize. My BB Pearl had no problem with that. If I was loading a webpage, it would simply pause the download and the phone would ring. Not sure, but maybe it has something to do with EDGE. I don't think the Treo 750 has EDGE capability...

The 750 definetly has EDGE, but it's usually CDMA phones with 1x that have the issue of not being able to take a phone call while transfferring data. It does sound like you could have another lemon 750 on your hands.

My experience wasn't as bad as yours. It just took a very long time between seeing the ringing icon and the time the phone actually rings, and then a long time between pressing the answer button and the time the call started.
I upgraded to WM6 and from the few calls I received since it appears the problem is now resolved and the 750 behaves like a normal phone.
Hope this helps.

I am having the same problem if you come up with a fix please let me know. the only thing I found that helps is to make your phone ring longer to give you a better shot at answering. here is a link to this fix

Silence ringer when phone is locked

Is there a setting to silence the phone on an incoming call when the phone is locked? Pressing the volume up or down WON'T work with me.
Thanks in advance.

i just tried on my phone several times from different numbers and it works fine for me.. both buttons too

Were you using any program such as manic AutoKeylock? or you just held the end call button to lock it?
Maybe I need to reset it but I didn't install any programs.

just end button i did not think i needed a program to autolock my phone

silence
Hi,
when somebody calls me i would like to silence the ringtone and not hangup. (on sonyericsson you press the side key for volume)
pressing volume up or down doesn't work for me either. is there a place in settings where you have to enable this feature? (i sure couldn't find it )

I would like to confirm that a hard reset fixed the problem! Pressing volume down while phone is locked SHOULD silence the phone by default.
Could be some software glitch that messed it up in the first place.

Figured out the problem. It seems to me that when there is an active connection, i.e EDGE is connected and it is showing in the near the cell signal, you WON'T be able to silence it by pressing a volume down.
If you go to connection manager and disconnect Edge by pressing 6, then lock it and let somebody call you, you WILL be able to silence it!
I have tried the above three times to confirm it. Seems pretty messed up if you ask me!
If you know how to solve the problem, please let me know.

Anybody figured out the problem (Read above)? I will paypal you $20 if you can get this to work!
Really, why did they mess it up like that when my previous phone, SDA, worked!

Problem with "End Call" key..

I'm using "Dutty's TouchFlo Rom 2 Final" on my tilt, but am facing problem with call end key. It doesn't respond during call and even in sleep mode...
I installed Tilt keyboard fix but no success..
Any help would be appreciated..
Regards..

I tried original ATT ROM... I think its hardware problem... coz when I press repeatedly it works... Can anyone help me out or tell me any solution..

Function design issue!
It is a design issue. To end a call you must either press the End Call (Hang-Up) button twice or press and hold on it. From a design stand point, this would prevent inadvertent hanging up on your caller while holding onto the phone and just clicking the hang-up button by mistake. At least that is what I was told by HTC.

Thank you so much asfoor. But sometimes i just end call with a single click and some time I have to press hard to end the call, same is when it goes to sleep mode...

I don't have that issue on the TyTN II. If it happens with different ROMs, then it's a hardware issue -- probably something in the contacts area.

it means i have to open it

while screen on, i can't hear them and they can't hear me.

just flashed a my Kaiser today --> [Apr 29]Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700
it's awesome! ... except:
now, while in a phone call, I can't hear them and they cannot hear me... unless I turn the power (screen) off.
i've looked all over these forums with google search and can't find anything.
on these forums, some people with the "I can't hear and they can't hear" problem say bluetooth headsets still work. I'll have to find one to check that. however, these posters say nothing about "fixing" the problem by turning off the screen....
as an example, when checking my voicemail, I
1) dial the number and press send
2) turn off the screen (right power button) so that I can hear
3) listen to a message
4) turn on the screen to hit 7 for delete
*repeat from step 2*
just in case someone asks, if I'm in a call and something "wakes up" the phone, I suddenly can't hear, etc. (it's not related to the button but somehow to the power state of the phone )
is this a known issue with *any* radio version? I have 1.65.14.06

I'm no expert, but try a hard reset. It sounds radio related, and it is well documented, but the wm 6.1 rom you have should be compatible. So you could try flashing a different 1.65 radio.
*in dutty's post he tells you
always hard reset after flashing... read the wiki
