How to switch on automatic telephone answering

[d.zee]

In the setting of "telephone"is the opportunity to set the device to automatic answering after 1-15 rings. That would be ideal when you are having a BT headset, because you would not have to press on the headset button. However, this does not work. Is there a setting in the registry to make this work?

press the green phone button then go into tools>options

then click on the more tab and youll see Automatic pickup ;)

if not on your wm2003 then get a registry editor and go to:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER>ControlPanel>AutoPickup

change the Auto Pickups value from 0 to 1

and Ring to what ever you want (mines set to 3)

hope this helps u

Thanks for your advice. I already performed the actions and in the registry it is all set. However, on my XDA II it does'nt work. I also tried to use the wired headset, because I know from my regular phone that there it only works when you have the headset attached, but nothing , nada.
Any other suggestion?

As far as I know this option has never worked, its a OS bug.....
It didn't work on my XDA with 2002 and 2003, and it doesn't work on my MDA II with the latest MDA update. Maybe somebody has worked out this thing, in that case I would be very happy to hear about it because I agree, it's a shame we cannot use it.

It seems that an auto pickup is possible ONLY if the wired earphones are plugged in. So maybe it's possible to simulate such situation with some kind of software, or registry changes, but without swiching off the phone speaker and microphone?
