Make the phone free-hand - MDA, XDA, 1010 General

Hello,
As the mic and the speaker are enough strong to record and play mp3.
I was wondering why you don't have a function free-hand with the cellular phone? Does it exist a soft or something else to make that possible?
Thaks for your answer

if you mean speakerphone then holding down the pickup phone key for a few settings turn it on or at least thats what my manual say

yesss it's working, thanks a lot

I don't have that ICON
I don't have the phone icon. Do I have to enable it?
Let me know

Its the same green phone key you use to make a call bottom left of the xda.

How to activate speaker phone?

I have a Qtek device.
When looking at screen shots online, I see the phone application having 3 bottons on the top left side of the screen, right above the dialer pad. On my device, there is nothing, just the dialer pad. How can I get those buttons? from the screen shots, they look simply like the phone log being displayed inside the dialing pad applicaton and the buttons are simply the missed/received/dialed icon, but on my device, I can only see that in full screen mode?
And, of course, the main question, how to enable speaker phone mode?
Thank you!
Press and hold the green button when in a call. Toggles it on and off.
speakerphone in default mode

And I say more that if you turn off the phone and before that happens you press and hold the green button you will adjust the speakerphone in default mode so during outgoing and incoming calls your phone will be always in speakerphone mode.
Just a soft reset to disabled the default mode or press and hold the green button to disabled during a call.
Sorry for my english...
Hi.
Francesco
Has anybody got any experience with toggling the speaker phone programmatically?
I put up the same post on the MSDN pocketpc.developer news group, and received a reply that it's a feature of the manufacturer, and if they haven't published the API, I will not be able to do it.
But that was before I found this site! Does anybody know if this is possible?
Thanks in advance, Ben Clewett
If the speaker jack is screwed where it thinks that there is a speaker (external mic) attached it will do no good.
-
Even if you push the GREEN TALK since the system thinks you have a
Mic attached .....
you need to bypass or jump it or bend the pins as said before back...
Good Luck
1) If speakerphone on - disable with PUSH GREEN PHONE WHEN IN CALL
yes that works unless
2) system thinks speaker (external) is attached
so... you will hear from speaker and can use an hands free till fix
hope this helps

Screen Lock Question with Bluetooth Headset

Hi all,
Im liking the Hero a lot but i have one niggle. When i make calls i tend to use a bluetooth headset. So as u can imagine i dial / select contact, press DIAL and then i would normally put the phone in my pocket.
Only i cant coz the screen is still active. Grrrrrrr. I have to wait for the 15 sec lowest time out to activate before i can do that.
On my ELF i just used to dial then once ringing, press the power button to shut the screen off. On the hero this action disconnects the call.
ARGHHHHHHH hehe. Guys i have looked in the tools section in the market place but cant seem to find anything that will help.
can anyone help me out here with tips / tricks or an app ??? I just want to press something that will turn the screen "off" without disconnecting the call
Thanks guys,
AndyG

Is there a way to mute the microphone during a call using a hardware key?

anybody know? Perhaps some app that does it?
Basically I have to do a lot of long conference calls for work, and generally speaking you need to mute yourself when you're not talking so the line stays quiet. It is a bit awkward putting the phone down, waiting the screen to turn on and jabbing the mute button on the screen each time you want to say something quick. Being able to mute via a hardware key would therefore be extremely useful but i can't seem to figure if it's possible!
thank you

Use a headset control app, like Jays, from the Play Store, and wired headset. One of the controls is double-click of the headset button to mute/unmute. Or you can customize the button to mute/unmute depending on how you click or hold the button, or whatever.
This does not work. In call controls aren't affected while music controls can be customized . Any work around?
This is a bit old thread, but I felt the same need and made a hardware switch that does exactly what you're looking for.

[Q] Mic mute when on calls

Have had my Z2 for a while now, but there's 1 thing driving me nuts that I cannot seem to find a solution for. Every other Android phone I've had (Nexus' and Samsungs) has let you mute and unmute the mic whilst on a call using a short press on the button on a set of headphones (And a long press to hangup). The Z2 only seems to hangup, with no option at all to mute/unmute. I've looked everywhere in settings, tried the woefully buggy Smart Key app from Sony (Not only does it not work to do a mute/unmute, it breaks more things that I could count), used different headsets etc, none of them work.
I was kind of hoping the 4.4.4 update with the revised dialer would finally allow such a basic feature, but no dice. Anyone have any solutions or ideas to this working as expected?

I'm talking about muting/unmuting from the headset, not on the phone itself. If you're on multi-person, multi-hour calls where you have to regularly mute your mic frequently, doing it from the headset is so much easier than waking the screen all the time.
HI I'm having Xperia z2 and having the same problem. During in call perid the mic and mute button automatically activate and after while call cancel suddenly, but if I press side power button and let the screen not awake position the above problem do not appear.
How to solve this?

Anyone find a setting to turn off the charging sound?

Sometimes I come to bed late and when I put my phone on my charger I want it to not make a sound. But I don't want to put it the whole phone on mute in case I get a text or phone call. The 3 previous phones I had did have a setting I just either can't find it on V30 or it is not there.
Mine masked no sound. But I have the system noises turned to zero in the volume control bars
Bumping this thread because I too would like to turn off the sound. Or better yet, change it. But I don't think there is a way. I'm assuming this thread is for Wireless Charging. I honestly think LG forgot to include a sound file for Wireless Charging. Android usually has a file called "WirelessChargingStarted.ogg" in system/media/audio/ui/ but there is not one there. The sound it plays is a notification sound "Crystal" which it is probably defaulting to. Hopefully the Oreo update adds an actual Wireless Charging sound that isn't so annoying or loud.

What about putting it in vibrate mode?

Same here, would like a little reminder, but the current sound is mental. Hope it gets tweaked in Oreo.
I'm looking to turn mine off, as well, but only because I want Tasker to handle it for me, and not make a sound when I'm at work and I put my phone on a wireless charger. (I like to overcomplicate things)
I'll drop this tip here to get more eyes on the situation, but I don't mean to imply that I found the correct option...
Install QuickShortCutMaker from the Play Store. (The icon is a finger pressing a red dot) Then, search through every activity (Start with the Settings application) for a shortcut to charging sounds. Again, I couldn't find it using this method, but I was able to use this same app to get to the Advanced Calling options on my V20, so it can help you get to menus that LG has hidden but not removed from the UI.
Good luck, and report back if anyone finds the right way to turn off charging sounds!
try this way
turn down the volume of 'touch feedback and system' all the way, it should do the trick, and i guess it doesn't affect anything else or at least much important
8.0 installed and still no controls for any type of charging sound control
Installed 8.0 from LG Bridge yesterday and there is still no volume control for charging sound, either wired or wireless, and no custom sound for just charging either. Drats! I too so HATE the lack of this basic feature.

Uh... Yes there is.
It's the volume slider for "touch feedback & system"
Thank You, but...
Thank you, but... I found the Touch Feedback slider as you mentioned., slid it all the way down and it still makes the sound when plugging it into the charger. Darn!
I know necro-posting is frowned upon, but I needed to find the answer to the question again after I had to format the data on my phone.
When you plug in the phone, pull down the bar at the top and long-press the Android System entry that shows what mode the port is set to (Charging, File Transfer, etc...), go to All Categories. Near the bottom, find 'USB connection'. Tap it and then tap 'Importance' and change it to medium.
No sound when any USB cable is plugged in. I haven't found a way do disable/change the charging sounds specifically, but I'm thinking LG modified the OS to not read specific sound files for charging at all, and only uses whatever sound is set in this 'USB connection' dialog.
Also, there is a 'LG_Cable_Connect.ogg' file in /system/media/audio/ui that can be renamed/replaced/removed.
