Okay so I am not exactly a noob by any means, however I have the OPO and I have a portable BT speaker. jam XT to be exact...I want to know if it is possible to to use both the phone and speaker as a 2 way communicator. A better example of what I'm meaning is picture yourself going to MacDonald's drive thru you order food at the over mic, they hear you and you hear them. In like mannar is this possible with a phone and bt speaker? The speaker has a built in mic and I'd like to use it for the reasons of family matters and the like. Please and thsnkyou.
Was sitting outside and thought of this so I had to ask as I can't find anything related to it. Spent hours trying to find it...

Ok First things first, I'm a perfectionist so this may be a bit weird.... I own two Imates, both the 128mb abd 64mb and both these phones have the same "issue" so I do not think its a fault in either one, but in the radio rom or speaker hadware of the Imate Jam's in general.
Whenever I hold either of the phones to my ear and make a call I can hear a very tiny clicking "chewing" noise that my wife described as an Ant trying to get out... Now it took her quite a while to hear it and I cannot hear at all in my left ear but when I use my right ear and the room is quiet enough it actually gives me a headache after a while.
I also have a nokia 6682 but does not have this issue at all. Can anyone else confirm this noise. You can hear it best when you first make a call and its ringing, between the rings. Help me out, I've scoured countless posts trying to find a fix or even someone who is bothered with this as well. I have not upgraded the rom to 113 but am planning to soon but I dont think that will help. Thanks guys.
I hope I am posting in the correct place. I very rarely post here, but read alot. This forum has been a great help over the years with all my different windows mobile phones and devices.. Y'all are tops!
So, my question.
I have an HTC Pure (att branded touch diamond 2). I discovered the other day while hooking my phone into my truck radio that I can use it to have phone conversations through the speaker of my car radio.
The problem is, the person I am talking to can here themselves, as the phone mic is picking up the radio output. I have tried all the settings I can think of. Hands free and speakerphone options are "grayed out" while the htc headphone adaptor are plugged in, so no joy there.
Are there any apps out there to facilitate this?
It is like talking on onstar, ultimate hands free.. Just need it to act like speakerphone, so the phone doesn't "hear" it's own output through the truck radio speakers.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Sorry to chime in a newb sort of question such as this, but I really need help with getting the g2x to ring through external speakers, even through my PC speakers would work.
I bought an mp3 speaker system last night with aux. line in and tried to hook the phone into the speakers that route - I could hear all audio - EXCEPT the one thing I needed: The ringtone/ringer when the phone rings.
Is there some way to set up a connection (w/o bluetooth) to PC, or through ANY method with external speakers without spending $200+ ?
Thanks.

Could someone PLEASE help me with this - or is it:
A.) too stupid a question, or
B.) too complex for anyone here to answer?
My guess would be A., but still, people come here for help... Is there no one who will take a second to answer this?
Thanks to anyone who has the time to help.
I am not sure if the audio has to come from the phones speak when it rings or if it can come out of ext speakers. I am sure someone can answer it and i don't think of this as dumb most likely a setting that you haven't found or a program you need from the market.
Ive been streaming music at work with various android devices for 2 years. Phone is hooked up to 2 pc speakers and a sub. The ringer never came out of the speakers. Must be a limitation of android.

Might be intentional. The first time I got a phone call while I was listening to streaming music on my three-phones-ago Windows Mobile phone, the ring came through the headphones and nearly blew out my eardrums!
My stock earphones have broken and I'm looking for in ear earphones which have a play pause button too, now. I've shortlisted the Soundmagic MP21s. It's confirmed that it's button works with the iPhone, but some people have told me it does NOT work with samsung phones because of the way they're wired or something.
Any idea if these work with LG? If not, does anyone know whether the stock headphone's button works on the iPhone?

I have tested the stock headphones on my friends iPhone and the button does work. So, I guess the headphone you have shortlisted will also work with LG.
Stock headphones with just the one button controls will work, and only the one button on iphone headphones with volume controls, not the volume or mic. there's adapters out there that say that they fix this problem. i'm waiting on mine to come in the mail to test it. also depends on what rom you're using.
My logitech 200vi earphones don't work on my optimus one. Not on the stock ROM or the Cyanogenmod.
Headset shopping guide for lamers:
0a/ Find your phone.
0b/ Charge it before going to the shop!
0c/ Put some music on your SD card before going to the shop!
0d/ Install some music player on the phone before going to the shop!
1a/ Enter the shop (use the door).
1b/ Look around and ask for the headphones of your choice. Tell the guy that you want to test them with your phone.
1c/ Connect those to your phone via the minijack connector; or -
1d/ Pair the BT headset with your phone.
Important note: Normal jack, DIN and other connectors are unsuitable for your phone and will not work without an adapter. Do NOT try to hammer those into the phone's minijack one!
Important note: Do not complain about lack of minijack with bluetooth headsets. You will look like an idiot!
2a/ Open the music player and play some song you have put on SD card beforehand.
2b/ Put the headset on/in your ears.
2c/ Listen!!!
3a/ Can you hear the music? If yes, go to 4.
3b/ If not, check whether the media volume is not muted!
3c/ Volume OK and still no sound? STOP! Ask for another headset, this one will not work with your phone!
Important note: You will look like an idiot if you do not check and go complain that the guy gave you a broken headset.
4a/ Test the media buttons. Do they ALL (in case there is more than one) work?
4b/ If yes, go to 5.
4c/ If not, STOP! Ask for another headset, this one will not work with your phone!
5a/ Make a phone call. Can the other person hear you? Can you here him/her? If yes, go to 5d and then to 6.
5b/ If not, check whether someone really picked up the call and whether the call volume is not muted!
5c/ Call connected, volume OK and still no sound? STOP! Ask for another headset, this one will not work with your phone!
5d/ Before you hang up, ask the person you called to call you back.
5e/ You get sound but cannot hang up via the headset button? STOP! Ask for another headset, this one will not work with your phone!
Important note: You will look like an idiot if you do not check the volume and go complain that the guy in the shop gave you a broken headset.
Important note: In case noone likes you and you do not know whom to call, you might try some emergency number as a last resort (112 in Europe, 911 in the US, for other parts of the world check beforehand.)
6a/ Wait for the call. No call? You probably pissed off the guy you called, tough luck, ask someone else. Worst case, you might bribe the guy in the shop to call you. He will probably ask for your phone number. Give it to him!
6b/ When the phone rings, try to pick up the call via the button on the headset.
6c/ Did it work? Good.
6d/ It did not work? STOP! Ask for another headset, this one will not work with your phone!
General important note: Even if all the above worked as it should, you still should NOT buy the headphones if:
- it makes your ears hurt like hell after the 5 minutes you were testing them
- you get sound but cannot understand a word when making a call or the music sounds like Justin Bieber's "singing". (Important subnote: In case you really did put Justin Bieber MP3 on your SD card, the above is NOT a headset fault and you will look like an idiot when you complain about the bad sound. You should seek medical help in any case.)
@dr. notor
ROFL!! Real crisp, man!
This has to be one of most funniest replies I've read in the OO forums. I'm debating whether to tweet/share this post! This post is so full of WIN!
I'm thinking how much effort this took. Appreciate it. Although in this case, it seems a bit of an over-reaction. But, any moderation on your part would have robbed us of this excellent post.
My Skyrocket has always had low earpiece volume. It sounds normal until I get in a noisy environment, then I have to press my ear totally against the phone which barely helps. My wife's Galaxy s2 i777 has louder volume and doesn't have this problem. I have tried all the available roms for my device to no avail. Is this normal for this phone, and if so, is there anything I can do to fix this problem? Any app that will work? I love this phone as it meets all my needs except for the volume. Thanks for your help!
edit: i bought this phones 2 months ago from Ebay. I researched it before i bought it, but the main issues others had with the skyrocket was the battery life with LTE. Well, the battery life has been great after custom rom, But the volume is terrible. I first thought i was sold a defective phone but then i found out that others had the same problem, but no solutions. Even all the volume boosts apps that work on other phones (for reasons WAY above my pay grade) do not work on our skyrocket.
...Anybody?... I know this problem of low earpiece volume is common with the skyrocket and has been brought up on many different forums, but I have not found anyone who has found a way to resolve the problem. Any help or direction would be appreciated. This trouble exist with both stock and custom roms.
still no answers?...sigh...
Well, I have replaced the earspeaker and the problem still persists. To clarify, the speaker is not as low as it was when Beanstalk 4.4 was going thru its growing pains and the volume level dropped after one of the builds a month or so ago. It is just that standing outside with normal outdoor sounds (occasional traffic, birds tweeting, outdoor noises) ihave to hold my ear directly against the speaker. I dont have that problem with my wife's s2 i777
Well, a month has passed with no replies. I have found that the volume level is good when using a headset to answer calls, so I have resorted to trying to be sure to carry earbuds with me. On the rare occasion that I dont have earbuds are the days I dread having this phone. As I us my phone for work, I need it to work as a phone first, and a smartphone secondary. As I stated before, I love the features of this phone, but there has to be a workaround for the volume levels. Maybe I'm just getting old and you young folks dont use the phone to actually speak to each other. Woah! Who let my dad in the room?!!? Anyway, Still looking for help. I am not asking which rom is better than another, but are there any roms that have louder volume levels? I have tried many here including Beanstalk, Dirty Unicorns, Liquid Smooth, Sultans CM 11...

Bean Stalk comes with am app called DSP manager which helps control volumes for bluetooth headsets. Give that a shot. It may just be your headset

The headset isn't the problem. The phone sounds great thru all the headsets that I have tried and thru the loudspeaker. The low volume level is when I am not using the headset and actually have to place my ear up to the phone(earpiece speaker). Its usable in normal areas, such as inside a room, but standing outside with normal background sounds like nature and light road traffic, I can barely hear the caller. I have to press my ear against the phone pretty hard, which usually ends up with accidental button presses and hangups.

Oh i understand, yes I have had that same issue which is why i bought a blue tooth headset.... Not sure if programming can do anything about the internal speaker.

Yeah, I was kinda hoping that maybe somebody discovered something that solve this. I don't know anything about programming, but I was thinking that back when beanstalk had those troubles with extra low volume, it was eventually fixed. And since he was able to boost the volume back to correct levels maybe it could be boosted just a little bit more. Or Since DSP works with bluetooth speakers and headphones and external speakers it seems like it would be easy to make it boost the earpiece volume. But I know that it is NOT easy...it may be impossible. If it was easy then there would have been a fix long ago. But a man can hope, can't he?
