Speakerphone to default to "on"

Anyone know of a registry tweak to have the speakerphone set to a default on position? It is a PITA to always have to press that button and when retrieving voicemail you first have to hide the keypad and then turn it on. I know it's petty...but it should be added to one of the tweak programs as an option under the phone tab...and I've searched this many times but came up with nada.

Vito Audio Notes has a feature that you can set to have Speaker Phone Initiate on every call, both incoming & outgoing.
I'm thinking of buying it for the recording feature.

Thanks, I'll look into it. I hope it's free.

haha, wow...

Have you tried this?:
"answer with speakerphone by holding down the send button (button with the green phone icon on it) for a couple of seconds when answering the call. Likewise to toggle speakerphone on and off, simply hold down the send button for 2-3 seconds while in a call."

Yes, I do answer the phone that way some of the time. I don't always remember that shortcut but that's my fault. I still would like to just be able to default to speakerphone on and toggle it off when I need privacy.

This is how I found the above, I typed 'answer speaker phone'.

btw, Vito isn't free.
However, it has to be making some kinda behind the scenes change, for it to have all calls be answered by speaker phone.
Maybe it's just making a simple reg edit.
I guess another option is to figure out what that change is.
You could ask Vito, maybe he would tell you.

Alarm Question

I used the search engine and could not find a similar topic. Please excuse if this has already been asked.
Is there a way to use the alarm on the Artemis even when I have the "Silent" or "Vibrate only" profile selected.
I don't want to get woken up by incoming calls before my alarm sounds
Thanks in advance for some nice answers
PS: What exactly is the "automatic" profile ? What's its function ?

You may need 3rd party software for the job. Try PocketWakeup (freeware), that'll over write the volume settings and. give you a increase volume alarm. Takes a while to get used to it, but it is nice with a big snooze button, mp3 support etc.

Hi,
the autamatic profile function disable all sounds if you have an appointment, and switch back the sounds after the end of the appointment. Obviously this activity is regarding to the calendar entries.
Why don't you switch off the phone during the night? Not the whole pda, just the phone function of it? In this case you don't have to change to silent or vibrate mode. The alarm will work and you don't have to wake up if a call is coming, because no call will coming...

Thats a nice idea
But I have made the experience that some short messages don't make their way when you shut off the phone. Sometimes they come some days later. But I'll give it a shot . Thanks !!

You should try PhoneAlarm. It's seems to be a little frowned upon, but my experiences are good. It has the option to turn off phone and message sounds but still enable notification.
Another (supposedly more stable) solution to your needs could be "Profiles for Windows Mobile" which is offering the same options like Phonealarm without skin support.

Alarm tool
After a lot of alarm tools I found pTravelAlarm to be the best choice for me. Clean interface, snooze function with big snooze button, also works when device is locked (yes, some don't ). Big advantage is that you can use mp3's for your alarm sound and you can set the volume to wake you up, independent of the current volume.

Hearing sound on Bluetooth headset when answering on device?

On my TP2, if a call is coming in and I have the bluetooth headset turned on, the headset will pick up the call only if I answer by pressing the headset answer button. If I answer by sliding the on-screen bar over the green "answer" button, the speaker in the phone itself comes on instead.
Is there a way to change this behavior such that the sound always comes through the headset if it is connected to the device, even if I answer on the phone itself?

I would be interested in this too, as I have a bluetooth car kit, if I accept the call from the car screen it is ok, if I accept it on the phone it routes through the phone.

I'm having a similar issue, but a little more complex it sounds like... When the phone rings and using my bluetooth headset (Jawbone2), I have to:
Press the answer button on the Jawbone2
Ringtone sound now comes through the headset
Remove phone from pocket and Slide2Answer with S2U2
Call is now connected through bluetooth
With my Kaiser, all I had to do was press the bluetooth answer button and the call would automatically pick up. No removing the phone, no pressing buttons or sliding to answer!
If I Slide2Answer on the phone when ringing without "transferring the call to bluetooth" first, the handset picks up the call. Useful in many cases, especially if I can't find the bluetooth after putting it down or in my jacket pocket for the time being. If I use the phone to make a call from the handset with bluetooth connected, it always transfers the sound directly to bluetooth. The problem lies with answering the phone with a bluetooth headset - the 4 steps above need to be completed instead of just #1 like it should be!

if you don't want it to go to the phone you need to answer with the device you want to talk with. thats how bluetooth on phones work, tp and tp2

I get that, If I try to answer the phone on the headset though, just the sound of the ringtone comes through the headset - the phone is still not answered, and is still ringing, just now in my ear! I STILL have to actually answer it via the phone's controls, which is pretty hard to do if you have your hands full........

For the OP Boo boo is correct. Answer the call on the device you want to use.
For Garcia25 the problem is S2U2. I ended up removing it and going back to the built in lock + LockDevice + built-in slide-to-answer.

How can I force speakerphone for every call?

Good morning,
Unfortunately my HTC TouchPro 2 is still on the fritz... the microphone seems to be completely fried.
To listen to anyone; I have to put it on speakerphone. (they can hear me fine via regular mic)
So my question to you is, until I can get myself a new phone, is there a way to force speakerphone for all incoming and outgoing calls?
Thanks for all suggestions,
Alec Taylor
PS: Also extremely interested in suggestions for fixing my phones' regular speaker, so I can listen without speakerphone :]

Look up the application auto loudspeaker for WM. It automatically switches to loudspeaker when you pull the phone away from your ear.
