Question using HTC Pro with cradle
 

I'm new here and it looks like I've found a great forum for PPC discussions.

I have an HTC Touch Pro (Sprint) and just bought a desk cradle for it. It works great, expecially the part where I run the sound through my speakers. I'm getting a bit hard of hearing and the HTC speakerphone just isn't loud enough for me.

I have a problem I hope someone has a solution for however. When I dock the HTC in the cradle and use it as a speakerphone, it seems to shut off the microphone. I have to pick up the phone to talk. The speakerphone icon grays out when docked. Does anyone know how to get around this, or if it can be corrected? I want to use the phone as a speakerphone while docked and connected to my external speakers.

Thanks in advance.

Which cradle do you get. Unless the cradle will support or has a mic built in you may be out of luck. But with my cradle, I am in the same situation. One thing you might look into is a bluetooth speakerphone in additon to the cradle.

I use my cradle on my nightstand since I am also hard of hearding due to working for years around F18 and F14's in the Navy. (Yes, proper hearing protection was in use.) This is the only way I can hear my phone in the middle of the night if I get a call while on-call. If I do get a call I just pick it up out of the cradle.

indeed, i was also wondering what kind of cradle you are using. Do you have a link for it? i am wondering if it is making the Touch Pro think it's using a wired headset, which would have its own built-in mic.

You will loosen your USB connector causing intermittent connection with activesync. It happened to both of my xv6700 and xv6800. Pleae stay away at all cost.
