Speakerphone on Face-down

[shirreer]

Ok, if you like the TD2's speakerphone on flip stunt, then here's a cool tip for you...

Using Gyrator:

- Add a new "Rotation" event.
- Set application to Phone on the "Application" tab.
- On the "Orientation" tab check on "Portrait", "Face-down", and "Face-up".
- On the "Actions" tab check on "Simulate Keypress".
- Goto "Advanced" tab and select key "F16,127" which triggers the windows-native "Speakerphone Toggle event".

Done.

Now, starting NOT on speakerphone, whenever you put your phone on a level surface --facing up or down-- during a call, the speakerphone will toggle ON -> Moreover, if you pick it up it should toggle OFF. Good enough?

Cheers

P.S. You can also do the same for a "Stylus Out" event to fire when "Phone" application is focused, thereby simultaneously toggling on the speakerphone and starting up a new Note (default behaviour) whenever you take the stylus out during a call. Aren't we the lazziest lot..

That is a cool tip. Thanks for sharing!

[Giannis86]

cool!
inspired by the TPro2 not? :D

[charly_mx]

Usefull Indeed. :D I always have trouble configuring gyrator tough :( Not very user friendly.

I'd probably never use it (can't remember the last time I used speakerphone anyway), but you can't deny the cool factor.

Nice post!

I can't get it to work! I have double checked all the steps but no speaker when I put down the phone..
The only thing I have my doubt about is the "Rotation" event. What do you mean with that?

Easy stuff man, here's how it goes:

Startup your Gyrator, tap on the soft key that says "Menu" and select Events -> A new window will pop up. Tap & Hold on the topmost item in the list, a menu will pop up -> Select "Add Event". A new entry -labled "New Rule"- will appear at the top of the list. Tap & Hold on the item labled "New Rule" until a menu pops up -> select "Orientation" <- that's how an "Orientation Event" or a stylus event is created, which is where you specify the commands you want executed whenever the device's orientation changes (yes, or the Stylus' status).

Now, Tap & Hold on the "New Rule" item -> select "Edit Event": A new window will pop up and will have a number of tabs at the bottom. Now, proceed forth per the first post and it should work fine for you...

Cheers mate!

I have re-installed all, Gyrator is OK but speakerphone not work :(

[halpmf]

hey guys, i had some troubles getting my phone to perform this nifty (is that what we are calling it?) trick.

First, it wouldn't work. While messing around with gyrator, i began to suspect my g sensor wasn't calibrated properly, and a test in teeter confirmed this. So my phone can't detect face-down very well at all, in fact, i struggle to have gyrator tell me it is face-down no matter how i orientate it with my fingers.

So, if this sounds like you, go to the gyration threshold options, and change the z threshold to something slacker (mine is 65, works, haven't tried others). Now gyrator will have relaxed thresholds for what it considers face-down. Works seamlessly, thus far.

For all the guys where it does not work:
The entry for 'application' depends on your operating system language.
e.g. in german it has to be 'Telefon', not 'Phone'.
It is much more easy to let gyrator learn the windows title, to do so, do the following:
Remove your stylus
Set application to 'Learn window title'
Initiate a phone call. After the connection has been established, put the stylus back into your diamond. You will see, that gyrator has learned the window title of your phone application.
After that it just works fine.

It's bloody awesome, this Diamond just keeps getting better and better.

Sounds good, exactly what I was looking for.:)

[D8LOM]

Works perfect!!...thank you so much.

Play with Gyrator's settings, with regards to sensor threshold.

Yes, I'm having the same problem, it's too sensitive!...I've played around with the Gyrator's setting as tnyynt advised but no luck yet. Would anyone have anymore advice for us or anyone found a smoother value for X, Y and Z Axis Threshold?:confused:

Im getting a very similar error to you.
Are you using the newset version? What ROM (mine is dutty's 1.9b), if you found a way around it, please post ;)

Cheers,
Mike.

Thats me being an "eegit", the event is just 127, but its listed as F16,127 in the action list.
My bad :(

[xavierdemon]

I agree it's a little twitchy :) have set my Gyrator settings to Z axis 77 and movement sensitivity to 6 the rest of the setting I leave as default. Seems to work a lot better now, I'd also make sure that your Diamond is calibrated properly. I only use Gyrator for a flip to suspend function and now this speaker phone trick, so it doesn't affect any other apps.

These settings work for my phone but may not for yours. Gyrator does preview it's responses on the main screen, so it's just case of finding the settings that work best for you.

[nimravus]

Nice tips! Got to try it.

[D8LOM]

Thanks, it's a little better but still twitchy.:)

Can somebody tell keypress event to toggle bluetooth when phone rings . I would like to start bluetooth when phone rings Thanks In advance

[D8LOM]

OK, I've got 70 as Z axis and 10 as movement sensitivity for Gyrator setting.

Works better!
