Yes.

Well... it doesn't recognize that it's in landscape mode per se, but you can use the g-sensor mode and set its parameter to enable the loud speaker when the device is in landscape mode.

What do you mean by "docking"? I don't know what will happen if the phone is connected to a wired handsfree. I could tell you (and you can read in this forum...) that when the device is connected to a bluetooth handsfree it overrides the speaker status, i.e. no loudspeaker when connected to a bluetooth handsfree (with or without this application).

Saying that, if the device is not connected to a handsfree device, and it is in landscape orientation it will turn the speaker on. If you have HD2 I'd recommend using the proximity sensor rather the g-sensor, you'll get the same behavior - depending on the proximity sensor and not on the orientation.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mathmason:
Firstly, thank you Zeleve for this fantastic program.

I have a request though. Would it be possible to build a version that runs invisibly and doesn't display a notification or notification icon? Even just a special command line switch to enable this mode would be great.

Again, thanks for this very useful program.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
You can just uncheck "Use notification" under AutoLoudspeaker settings. This will hide the notification and the notification icon.

Clash with CHT 2.0/CHTS Proximity Sensor settings

Zevele, I love this little app but have had to uninstall it (:() because it was somehow causing a clash with the proximity sensor control through CHT 2.0 and/or CHTS meaning that I was getting proximity relight when I wan't asking for it. I know I have mentioned this in the thread before and you replied that Autoloudspeaker should only function when the phone app is live, but since uninstalling only Autoloudspeaker my proximity issues have all gone?

I have tried reinstalling it and the issues start again. I have taken it back off and am about to reinstall and set to run off the Gsensor instead so hopefully it will function as well using this option (I did try adjusting the settings and doing a soft reset, but I was still having the proximity issues so figured uninstall/reinstall would do it)

Anyway, I'm not asking you to put any time into this and as long as the gsensor option works so I can have best of all worlds I'll be happy :cool:

Great app, and BTW just noticed Blinker so am about to try that too :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
Let me recheck the code to see if indeed the application is activated only during an active phone call... btw, what exactly this feature in CHTS does? Can you also describe exactly what happens?

Let me know how you find it...

Thanks, Z.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
Okay, I rechecked the code... the proximity sensor is enabled only after a phone call is active (i.e. you answered the call, or dialed one). If the "Answer on gesture" is enabled, the proximity sensor will be enabled also when the phone rings. Otherwise the proximity sensor is untouched.

All this is relevant to the latest version (1.5) which I presume the one you have installed.

Z.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] fred_up:
Thanks very much for such useful software.

I use my HD2 with TomTom when driving. There is no problems answering a call, but having to put it on loudspeaker (so I can use it hands-free) is such a nuisance. Your program solves that problem brilliantly.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kdv2108:
Hi Zevele, Havent you solve this app on Samsung I8000 yet?I dont know how to access proximity of I8000.Please check and help us to use this app because its realy usefull.thank again
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
Hi, kdv2108

As I don't own an I8000, it's a little bit difficult for me to develop for this device (or any other device but the HD2 for that matter). If anyone can provide me a simple class-library that exposes the status of the proximity sensor I'd gladly include that in the project.

Sorry,

Z.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] jdpl@:
Hi Zevele,

Just to say thank you very much for share this great apps!

I installed it on my HTC HD2 (TmoUS Leo ROM 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE) and works perfectly.

Very usefull apps, great work.

Best regards.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] kdv2108:
May be one of your friends owns an i8000 and you can get it for a while or you can tell me how to provide you a simple class-library that exposes the status of the proximity sensor of my I8000.Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
I'm sorry, I don't know anybody who has the device...

To create a class-library a little programing has to be done (may be more than little :p). Apparently Samsung released an API to programmatically access its sensors (sadly, the same cannot be said about HTC :(). If you're into some coding, check this link:

http://innovator.samsungmobile.com/onlinedocs/cmsCnts/20091105/0528/0528s.html

Maybe somebody already wrote a .Net wrapper for this API, in which case it should be fairly simple to wrap the wrapper with a simple class that checks the proximity sensor status.

Good luck ;)

WOW .. Nice ..

Just found this little program .. I was like why ?

Well .. I know now after trying it .. works great!

I just have a suggestion the n the next ver ..

Would be very cool ..

if it would "fade" In and out the volume!!

When it switches it is "VERY ABRUPT" If you know what I mean?

If it was settable even better !

Thanks for a great Program !

TankU

It works as expected in my CDMA Sprint HTC TP2. Thank you very much...:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
At first look it seems feasible, let me do some research on the matter...

Z.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] WarlockW:
Thanks for reply!

Very Cool ... It Would make this program amazing :)

Also .. Just a note ..

I found a weird problem With : SPB Backup and Zevele's AutoLoudspeaker V1.5

I use SPB Backup ( http://spb.com/products/backup/ ) and ever since I installed your program i get backup errors .. ( didn't before )

Errors:

Backup process started...

Backup file name: "\Storage Card\Backup_20101124.exe"

Unable to read from file "\cemail.vol".

Unable to read from file "\Documents and Settings\default.vol".

Unable to read from file "\mxip_notify.vol".

Unable to read from file "\mxip_swmgmt.vol".

Started verifying backup file

I think its because they are in use .. however if i close AutoLoudspeaker I still get them .. ( didn't before install of AutoLoudspeaker )

Not sure we can do anything about this .. and if it screws with the restores .. I have not tested it yet .. :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
I've never used SPB backup, and I don't know these files - non of them are related to AutoLoudspeaker. Looks like they are related to some PIM tool, mail etc... try do a search in Google about them...

Let us know if you find anything new about the problem...

Z.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] WarlockW:
Unable to read from file "\cemail.vol".

Unable to read from file "\Documents and Settings\default.vol".

Unable to read from file "\mxip_notify.vol".

Unable to read from file "\mxip_swmgmt.vol".

Are all Volume Control Files .. I would have to think ..

they are related / in-use with your program, Because of they way

your program switches the mic to speaker .. I will try and uninstall and see

if the helps ..

Edit ..

Ok I did some screwing around .. and found out what it was .. I had installed .. SRS_WOWHD_v1.5.1.0_v2.1.cab

Before Your Program .. and I Guess I had not tried a backup ( thought I had ) after I installed it ..

If I disable it .. I do not get the errors :)

I am apologize for thinking it was your program ..
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
No problems, thanks for letting us know....

Z.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] WarlockW:
My bad ...

Dont forget it would be cool If your program would

"fade" In and out the volume :)

When it switches it is "VERY ABRUPT" If you know what I mean?

If it was settable even better !
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] c_shekhar:
Excellent application. Thanks a lot...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
Well... after doing some research, I couldn't find any way to set the "in call" volume. I did find a registry-key that states the in-call volume (HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\ShellOverrides\SavedInCallVolume) but couldn't find any way to set it. From what I read, setting this key will change the in-call volume after reboot (not very helpful here...)

If anybody has any suggestions I'd gladly try to implement it into AutoLoudspeaker...

Thanks,

great app, thanks! a very simple yet useful app and works perfectly.

i know you posted the custom rom notification icon for download. i really prefer that one. how to change the default icon to that one?

i notice that after locking the device and the screen turns off, the screen turns on by itself after a short while. is this related to your app? i really don't care about this since the screen turns off in a short while too.

a very, minor thing. in ALsettings/About, there is a typo: AutoLoudspeaker is currnetly active.

good job once again!

Bug v1.5 - roaming

hi,

I found a bug.

when I try the 3G connection, and autoloudspeaker is active with the proximity sensor, if I move my finger near the sensor, the screen freezes constricting to unlock it.

is there a solution?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
To override the default icon, just put your icon in the same directory with AutoLoudspeaker and name it NotificationIcon.ico

AutoLoudspeaker installs under (internal storage)

\Program Files\AutoLoudspeaker

or (storage card)

\Storage Card\Program Files\AutoLoudspeaker

I don't think it has something to do with AutoLoudspeaker, I too experienced similar issue after installing CHT 2.0 or CHTS, but it seems to have disappeared...

Thanks, will be fixed with the next release.

Z.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
I don't understand what is exactly the issue your experiencing...

AutoLoudspeaker does not control the lock state of the phone, but, it does turn on the proximity sensor during active phone call. Some programs uses the proximity sensor to lock/unlock the phone (iirc CHT or CHTS are able to poll the proximity sensor and lock/unlock the phone accordingly). Maybe this has something to do with the issue?

Z.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
There are limitations, I don't remember what they are, but I'm pretty sure it has to be an icon (jpg is not good). I don't think the size is the problem. If you'll send me the image I could convert it for you...

Z.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] joshzzz2001:
It's ascertainer's icon that is in post #71 that you posted in your first post.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Foschi91:
no, when i disable the autoloudspeaker the phone runs. the it is active, and i try the 3g or roaming connection the proximity sensor is active and block me the phone. it dipends of autoloudspeaker. it is a bug.

Oops... my bad, you can't just use that icon, I'll upload a proper one later today... Thanks for the notice.

Z.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
Here we go, it's a zip file because ico files cannot be attached for some reason, just unzip the package and put it in your installation folder. I also updated the first post.

Thanks again,

Z.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
Hi Foschi91,

I'm still trying to understand the issue. Are you saying that when your on 3G connection or roaming and AutoLoudspeaker the phone hangs and you have to restart it? or does it just lock to lock-screen? does this happens only during an active phone-call? or always when roaming/3G?

Thanks,

Z.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] altec1000:
@zevele:

It is a great app. Is it also possible to use the proximity sensor to answer a call without sliding?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
What do you mean use it without sliding? Do you refer to the "shake" feature? I didn't get any feedback about this feature so I didn't implement it - but If people will show interest I'll reconsider.

Z.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] altec1000:
An extra option:

If you get a call you' ll just have to hold it on to your ear to answer it (no loudspeaker). Dont have to slide first.

Isn't that a better solution than shake?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
That's a nice idea, but how do you know that the phone is not your pocket?

I could, in theory, check weather the sensor changed from not blocked to blocked and then answer the call...

Z.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] altec1000:
My theory:

Only when phone rings:

When is in pocket:

blocked-not blocked-blocked

Out of pocket:

not blocked-blocked

With this feature autoloudspeaker would always run on the HD2.

Would be nice. Hope this doesn't conflict with original proces of autoloudspeaker.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
Yeah, that's what I thought too, you only need the second one though... and there is still the problem of false positives...

No problems, actually I already coded that in, I'll run it a couple of days to see how it goes. I consider maybe also use the g-sensor to minimize false positives, but it's problematic...

Z.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] altec1000:
Nice to see u already build it in. Yes maybe with G sensor would be more

stable. Hope u can give the results in a couple days. I always hated the slide to answer a call ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] altec1000:
@zevele:

Can u tell if it is good enough for daily use?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
I'm still testing it (apparently I'm not popular enough... ;)).

I've added some delays hoping to decrease the false positives... I added two delays: first, the amount of time that have to pass with the sensor in open state. And the second, the amount of time that has to pass with the sensor blocked. If one of them fails AutoLoudspeaker will not answer the call...

Z.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O2amksin:
I can suggest either of the following:

1. Simply try to install and see if it works. If it doesn't just uninstall it. If the application does not recognize the proximity sensor, it will automatically choose the g-sensor method.

or

2. You can manually check if the registry keys required for the proximity sensor method exists:

HKLM\System\State\Phone\PSensorStatus

HKLM\Software\HTC\Proximity\ProximityDetectStatus

Z.[/QUOTE]

Installed V1.5 in Omnia2 WM6.5. Here's the error message:

AutoLoudspeaker

NullReferenceException

Found this registry key,

HKLM\System\State\Samsung\ProxSensor, Detection =0 , IsStart = 0 .

Hope this could be of some help to make your app available on omnia2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
do you mean you have two values under the "ProxSensor" key? i.e.

HKLM\System\State\Samsung\ProxSensor\Detection

and

HKLM\System\State\Samsung\ProxSensor\IsStart

I'm only guessing that the first returns the status of the proximity sensor and the second turns the proximity sensor on and off... can you verify this somehow? (Maybe change them manually and see if something happens...)

If this is the case, I could try and change the HTC references to those keys...

Z.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] O2amksin:
Hi Zevele,

Sorry i'm not a programmer or IT guy , only a user.

In the HKLM\System\State\Samsung\ProxSensor, there are two values:

Name, Detection, Data 0(00000000),

Name, IsStart, Data 0(00000000).

Don't know what these mean and how to change the value.

Maybe you can advise and I try to change them.

Hi,

Here is another release (v1.6). I've been using this version for a couple of days and it seems pretty stable...

I assume this application only works with phone calls. Any chance this could be modified to work with the Skype application. It defaults to using the speaker (versus the earpiece) and would be nice to use the proximity sensor to force skype to use the earpiece.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] zevele:
This error is related to the g-sensor, it seems AutoLoudspeaker fails to initialize the g-sensor. I'm using the Unified Sensors API, the API supposed to support also the Samsung Omnia/Instinct (isn't that what you have?)... anyway, there are several references to the g-sensor in the code - I could take those out but it will take me a couple of days...

Is there any chance that you are running some other application that could block AutoLoudspeaker's access to the g-sensor?

Thanks,

First off i have been looking for about a day now as to how to change the radio, i found people changing back from stock but i think i have a different issue. the camcorder and gps along with a few other things do not work and i think it is because i have an old radio installed.

What i have now is the virtous rom, s-off, rooted(obviously) , clockwork mod, and the current radio is 1.00.03.04.06. the old non 2.x radio is what i belive to be the problem (please correct me if im wrong) so if someone could point me to a guide on how to upgrade just the radio id appreciate it.

P.S. i saw somewhere that i must unroot before a radio can be applied but that doesnt make much sense to me.
