Switch from TomTom to Phone

Hi All
Im wondering if any of you guys can help me.
I regulary use TomTom on my XDA Orbit and also use the speaker phone to talk on the phone as I drive. I have a problem when I receive an incomming call wilst running TomTom. The notification appears on the bottom of the screen telling me the is an incomming call, but Its a bit difficult getting from TomTom to the phone screen to switch on the speakerphone, without either dropping the call or quickly answering the call, then quit tomtom, then activate the speakerphone. I dont want to use the supplied headset and i dont have a bluetooth headset. Can anyone give any tips? Maybe a taskmanager wich cyles through the active programs using one of the buttons on the side of the phone??? Clutching at straws now maybe??

When a call is incomming, press the green answer button, quickly, and then press and hold it again.

Thanks for your reply. I will try this and let you klnow how I get on.
Cheers

Works a treat. I Have now also mapped the VJPhoneShortut ("Speakerphone ON") to the GPS Button on the handset which gets rid of the 3 second hold (not always easy when driving). Thanks again.

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.

Problem with handsfree and conference functions

Hi
How i can enable the handsfree on and conference functions during a call?
Since I upgraded wm5 to wm6, I can´t use both functions. During a call I touch the menu button but this functions aren´t enabled.
Thanks.

for your handsfree... do you have a bluetooth headset or other bluetooth speaker phone/mic device paired with your dash and turned on and connected when you are trying to enable hands free?
if not , handsfree will not be available.........speakerphone however should be an option
as far as conference functioni think you have to have 2 calls on the line and then you have to use the join calls option to conference i believe (maybe its still conference?)

Ok, I´ll try, but the handsfree only works with wireless or bluetooth earbuds?
No options for mini usb wired headphones?
Any sugestion for the conference problem?
Thanks

when using wired earbuds, it should automatically direct the calls to the headphones....assuming you're using the earbuds provided by HTC and read my edited comment above regarding conference issue

So for conference do this...... Call someone, once connected... press right soft key and select hold.... then dial another number and press green talk button to dial.... then after that call is connected....you can then press the right soft key again and you can select conference... which will join the two calls . ......whalah!

Thanks for the answers, but the problems still exits. The problem was after the upgrade to wm6, because my phone was original from T-mobile wm5.
So, the options are there but not highlighted in the menu (I can´t choose it)... or not enabled. Maybe a change in the registry?
Thanks

Thanks for the answers.
The real problem is my version of WM6, it´s not enabled both functions with wired headphones. With the old wm5 from t-mobile, i did´nt had this problem.
My version has WWE, EUK and Spanish lenguages, it´s a little diferent,
Thanks, again.

Bluetooth headset button solution?

Hi Guys,
Does anyone have a solution for the problem that the call button on bluetooth headsets won't work anymore with the TP2?
I use it in combination with Voice Command which worked flawlessly with the Touch Diamond, it's also been set to the same (and only) hardware key as the diamond but it won't work on the headset!?
It works fine when you press and hold the call button on the phone though...?
thanks!

When you say it works fine, do you mean through the BT headset, or just through the speakerphone?
P.S. I had an opportunity to talk with someone at Microsoft, and the response I received was "it's a known problem" and "wait for the next update or next version".
Alas...

i've edited it..
Strange problem cause the diamond had the same windows mobile version?

It's nothing to do with the WinMo version, it's a different BT Stack.
I have been playing with it today and will post an update in the tweaks thread once I have it patched.

Its not the BT Connection with a headset in general. That function works fine. I've tested it with my bt headset. Pressing the button I can accept the call and/or redial.
The problem lies within Voice Command itself. Once installed it gets assigned to the one and only hardware button configurable (hold call button for 3 seconds). The problem with that is when I do that with my BT headsets (normal and motorcycle one). They get powered off by pressing them for 3 seconds (same button). xD
I disabled Voice Command though due to the ringtone volume bug. Every 2 seconds the ringtone gets low for an announcement that you don't hear. Still waiting for a proper fix without all the work of replacing files.
I was looking for the original voice dialing function. But it really isn't there on the TP2. Voice Command is much better though. But damn that bug.

Sorry to disappoint you chrix, but the same hardware button (also hold) is used with the Touch Diamond.
Like I said they both look the same but with the TP2 it doesn't work, i'll be looking out for your patch beasty!

Another suffering TP2 user!
Hi guys,
I am also suffering with this issue as well. I did try and see if an old registry hack worked (changing HKLM\Software\OEM\VoiceCommand path=\Program Files\Voice Command\VoiceCmd.exe) but it didn't unfortunately. As previously pointed out in this forum, I think that this issue is more down to the fact that HTC seemed to have replaced the Bluetooth stack with their own proprietary version which isn't bad by all accounts, but does seem to lack this functionality. I might try and contact them to see if there's an update to resolve this but if someone does manage to create a patch for it, I'm sure there's a number of us who would be interested!
Cheers,
Barry

I installed voice command as well.
I'd already used the send button to put my lock on so it gave me another button (see attached).
Any body Know where the button is.

Bluetooth Handsfree

Hi I use a Jabra SP5050 hands free with my TP2
Recently whenever I answer a call thru the Jabra, instead of answering the call, the Jabra starts playing the phones ringtone instead. To now answer the call, I have to answer it via the phone and then speak via the Jabra.
Tried re setting, pairing contacting Jabra but to no avail. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
