how to keep loudspeaker funtion on the phone found it @ mmo2

---

Is it possible to activate the loudspeaker on my Xda before choosing a telephone number?

Dial a number. Disconnect and tap onto the signal symbol in the title bar. Tap onto the disconnect telephone button and then immediately press the green button (accept telephone call) keeping it pressed until the note appears: The loudspeaker is activated.
The telephone then disconnects without establishing a connection. The information that the loudspeaker is activated remains.
Turn on the telephone. The loudspeaker is turned on instantly with each dialled number.


thats the info in their faq section but i dont understand???? what ive been trying to do is:

dial 4444....
hit the red button and then click the signal bar at the top of the screen
tap red button then hold green button down....

just doesnt do nothing :\ anyone know how to do this?

figured it out

right.......

phone loaded up as normal

dial any number and use the stylus to tap talk on the screen

then when connected use stylus to hit end on the screen

then quickly tap the signal bar and hit turn phone off or flight mode on

then quickly hold down the green BUTTON and speaker phone will turn itself on and the phone will turn off.

then just tap the signal bars again turn the phone part backon

there you go you now have h/f mode on all the time good for when driving

Yup, it works, a real convoluted way of doing things dont you think but something I have been trying to do for ages and finally gave up. Thanks

i wouldnt call it a propper way of doing it lol id call it more of a glitch in ppc lol but at least it works but you dont get no tones from keypad numbers if you turn them on and then so softreset they come abck on but h/s mode disapears......

but guess whats in my statup folder for some strange unknown reason a shortcut to handsfree.exe i click it it doesnt seem to do nothing but its just appeared in there for no reason.

ive searched windows directory and cannot see handsfree.exe so i linked to my pc to search found it i try copy it over from the ppc to my xp pc with show all files turned on but the icon just dissapears then i try copy it over again and it says do you want to overwrite this file so its on my pc but it just dont show up :\

it would be great if i could get this h/f thing into my startup lol so it comes on when turning the phone on

I can't believe O2 tells people to do this. Surely the effort of coding this small feature s less than the extra hassle of having your customers perform such 'dirty' workarounds.

There's some serious glitches in the support->coders communication pipeline for these devices, I tell you.

i totally agree

it would be nice if it done like......

when receiving a call and the screen pops up answer / reject

if it had aonother box option for like loudspeaker answer that would be cool

Maybe obtuse, but it works

On several occasions, I had fumbled fingered my PPC during a call and wound up with the H/S turned on semi-permanent. I never could figure out what I did. This is great info, but I agree, a nice little app would be a LOT better.

when u do this after turning the fone part back on hold the green button it goes off hold it again it comes back on if you tap the green button the telephone screen shows tis pretty cool but the device liek sounds low? till after the softreset

The other way round?

Having turned the XDA II off for a flight by powering down rather than putting on flight safe mode, all phone calls now are handsfree. How can I get it back to 'normal' mode?????

Driving me insane!!!
