Speaker call not loud

[KoBolD]

on a I-mate jam it's possible to turn on speaker while calling so you can speak "handsfree".

This can be done by holding down the green call button.

When I do this the sounds of the speaker is de same as normal only the sounds comes from the back of the phone instead of the front.

Does anybody know how to fix this? A friend of mine has the same phone without a problem.

Have you tried while you are on the speakerphone mode to make the volume slider higher?

That ain't gonna help you. This is a known - and unsolved problem with the Jam. If you really need a speakerphone, you should return the phone. No amount of firmware/ROM update will help you.

I use the speakerphone option without any problems. The sound is loud and clear. What is this unresolved JAM problem that you're talking about?

My XDA1 had the best speakerphone I've ever used, including corded phones. I could be in a conferance room with 10 people around the table and everyone could hear, speak and the participate on the phone never had problems with background noise. I have a hard time accepting that next generation technology from the same manufacturer should be woefully inadequate. The unit is advertised as a speakerphone, the solution is to return my phone and purchase another? No thanks friend, anyone reading this with solutions please respond.

I think most of us don't know how to hold the mini in the right way, while the phone is in speaker mode...
if u want to hear a load voice.. make sure that back of the phone faces ur ear..
that' because the mini has 2 speakers... and the one in the back( near the mirror) is loader.. so you will hear the conversation very well...

and BTY.. I suggest u upgrade to the latest ROM available for ur device..
it helped me a lot....

cheers

Wrong - its patently obvious that the sound is coming from from the back speaker. Why on earth it comes frm the back is another question entirely, given that the speaker phone is supposed to free up your hands so you do other things, including multi-task on the device i.e looking at the screen! Every other phone I've had has a decent speakerphone - and they face the front too.

But the main problem is that the volume from the supposed "speakerphone" is too damn low, irregardless of location.

Considering all the huge volumes of prior experience that HTC has (making practically every Microsoft PPC device, smartphones, plus the Palm Treo phone), things like this awful speakerphone on the magician are really not excusable at all.

I went through 3 TREO 600s due to speaker problems. You could barely hear the speaker phone on the 600 either. ANd to top that off, no one could hear you! The JAM is nice, but the more that I use it, the more I wish that either I bought something else or that the the JAM could just work the way it was designed!!!!!!

1.3 Mega pixel camera... my ass! It's the same quality as my first Casio digital camera from '96. Not mention the fact that Imate can't even put a decent ROM update together.

Perhaps we should build our own PPC's! :-) :P

P.S. PM me if you want the CEO and VP of Imate's e-mail address. I e-mailed them and they actually wrote back! -Of course they weren't very helpful though. :evil:

One time, I turned on this speakermode operation on my MDA-Compact, I could hear my phonecall loud and clear from the built-in speaker.... This happenend accidently, probably by pressing just the right button, but I wasn't aware....

I cannot find how to do this again? How can I get the MDA-Compact to operate in speakermode using the built-in speaker?

I'm searching this (and other forums) quite a while now, but I cannot find my solution?!

Any help will be very much appreciated!

Thanks,
Igor.

To turn on the speakerphone part press the Green call button whilst in the call for 5 secs or so.....

I updated my Jam and now it's all ok
