Hello. I'm running Android 7.1.2 and when the phone rings I have one button to answer. Then, I have to press another button if I want to direct the call to speaker or bluetooth device.
Does anyone know if there's a phone answering application that can have these buttons available, and depending on which medium you want to talk, you just press that button (e.g., speaker, phone, bluetooth)?
Thnx!

Hi All,
Is there a way to edit Smartskey to allow using one of the hardware buttons to trigger the Speaker On/Off option?
Thanks!
Speakerphone?
It's already hardware button binded to press and hold green call button, during a call. Handy in the car when your bluetooth headset needs a charge, quick press the green button to answer, then immediately press and hold to switch to speaker.
Or do you mean use the speaker for other purposes?

Tried it on my ETEN X500 and it places the call on hold instead.
In addition I'd like to be able to switch to speakerphone whenever, meaning
When I receive a call or place a call myself.
Not sure about Eten phone, but HTC's phone (most if not all), you will have to press and *keep holding* the green button long enough (while on call). Pressing it will give you 'Call on Hold'. Alt, you try PhoneAlarm .. or PocketPhone Zen (something like that) that gives you profiles (like Nokia phone) that enables you to have the option of getting speaker phone automatically upon receiving.
On a Fuze, when you're on a call, you can hit the Speaker button to turn on the speakerphone feature. And you can turn it off by hitting the button again. That works great.
Now, pair a Bluetooth headset.
Switching from headset to speaker phone takes many steps: Menu>Headset Off. Hit Speaker phone on button.
Does anyone know of a way to switch the headset on/off like speaker phone? In an ideal world, I'd replace the Video Sharing button with a headset button.
I've hunted around but not found anything remotely similar to this, but I can't be the only one with a problem.
Any suggestions?
Really? Nobody else gets annoyed switching from Speaker to Headset?
Bump. Bump.
Might be a weird one, but I use both a wired headset and bluetooth headset at times and I would expect the action button on both to do something. All I can get it to do at the moment is redial on a double tap.
What I am looking for is the type of things Windows Phone does. For example, it will read text messages to you, on long press of the button, it will activate voice actions so I can make a call or send a text without looking at the phone.
Is this possible?
Thanks
Hello!
I am a business user and spend about 4-5 hours a day on conference calls. During these calls, I frequently have to go on mute when others are speaking, especially if I am in transit or at home, and I need to screen out background noise.
With regular touchscreen phones (Samsung, Apple), the mic mute button is a soft key. So, to hit it, I have to wake the screen, bring up the call screen, and then mute or unmute. This takes several seconds, especially if I am taking notes or making a coffee or holding a baby. Additionally, there is a corporate password policy (strong password, 10 char), and this makes it infinitely longer to unlock the phone. With my old Nokia e71, there used to be a hardware button in between the volume keys that I could just press to toggle mic mute during a call, regardless of what I was doing on the phone. I could be writing an SMS or using the Web browser, but I could still press this hardware button to toggle mic mute. For a business user, it delivered massive value.
Now, the current breed of touchscreen phones lack many hardware buttons that could be 'remapped' to provide the utility of mic mute toggle. But I am wondering if the camera button on the Xperia Z3, which seems like an excellent device overall, can be repurposed for in-call mute mic toggle through an app, or perhaps the feature could be added in after rooting.
Does anyone know if this is already possible? Or if it can be achieved in a reasonably direct manner?
(The question is primarily for regular voice calls through my phone service provider, but secondarily applies to VoIP calls via Skype, etc.)
Thanks

Android hard buttons can be remapped. It usually requires rooting your device and maybe even installing the xposed framework.
Rooting the device usually goes against corporate policy.
Lifehacker has an article back from 2013. Hope it's still useful:

Hi, been playing this phone for 1 week already.
Which i find it very interesting and useful!
But there are some issues which i find it redundant and would like to see if experts out there can solve it.
1. When i long press the fingerprint in lock screen, it will unlock the phone. but when you press long enough i can access to the Wechat pay, Mi AI, Alipay shortcuts.
I use wechat pay alot, so when i swipe to do payment (the barcode one), it will notify me EVERYTIME Not to send the code to other people unless making payment and i have to press "got it". Is there a way i can bypass this and go directly to the barcode just like when you doing it the longest way where you have to open the wechat > wechat pay > Money.
2. when i connect my bluetooth speakers (my speaker has its own volume control), the volume of my xiaomi phone and speaker volume works separately.
What i mean is when i turn the volume up on the phone only the phone media volume goes up and not the speaker. so i have to turn up the speaker volume again to set the volume i want. Is there a way that could sync both volume at the same level so one volume key can set both phone and speaker.
i found that this is a common case too where many people are searching for solution...
I have tried the enabling/disabling absolute audio which doesn't work
I just found out that the problem will not persist when i am on a call.
So when i press the volume up and down on the bluetooth headset, it will also control the volume on the phone (the volume bar on the phone will go up and down while i am increasing or decreasing the volume on headset)
I've found that the problem is very common with every single phone I had..... probably it depends also from the bluetooth accesories used.
