Do you mean speaker-phone? If so, you will see an icon on the dialer/call screen that you press to activate/deactivate speaker phone.

...or from Menu you can select to turn on/off the speakerphone function.

Is there a way to assign a button on the phone to switch it on? as that annoying popup gets in the way.
Or is there a app that will allow for the a profile, that will switch it on automatically?

If you hold down the phone hard button (button to left of dpad) for several seconds, it will activate speaker phone.

Not sure if this is the best place to post, but I am looking for a way/app that will allow me to make calls from my pc through my omnia using the usb cable. I have to keep changing my blue tooth headset from pc, for skype, to cell phone.
You may wonder why I don't just use skype for telephone calls, basically it works out more expensive than just using the mobile with a contract, in SA anyway.

Thanks

I haven't thought about this and just did a quick "browse" but didn't find anything obvious. I like the idea of mapping the speaker to a h/w button and would make this trade-off with another function if needed. Maybe someone out the reading this can help.

Ok. I completely botched something up and I am suffering for it now.

I installed the SPB 2.1.5 version on my phone. I then installed the Imarche skins. I accidentally skipped the step where you run "scanstatus or soft reset". The skins did not load after that. A message popped up and said that the 2.1.2 verion of SPB could not be found. So I installed it (2.1.2) and still the same problem.

I have noticed two things that have happened that only occured after I botched the process.

1. I can not bluetooh files over 15 mb's now.
2. There is a .rar file in the Imarche's scrpt folder that has a listing of all the files I have on the entire device. I don't remeber that being there before.

Essentially, I need to know what I can do to get the imache skins to recognize the 2.1.2 version I have installed.

I tried to erase/uninstall the skins so I could start from scratch but an error comes up that states: "RegDeleteKey: Registry key musn't be empty!" Wtfudge?!?!?

any help with this would be appreciated.

I had a similar issue with my BT, but I thought it had to do with something else. I found the best solution was to do a hard reset and backup from the last working backup file. If you didn't backup, I am not sure what can fix the BT. I have a feeling a hard reset may be in your future pending a more informed member's reply.

Thanks for this. I really hope I do not have to do a hard reset. I just did one two days ago. I will wait to see if anyone else weighs in.
