This may or may not work. It was posted here before by "Steve Crow",
while I have the 6000 I have never tried this to check if it does
work. You can give it a shot, but I promise nothing.
As some of you might recall about a week ago I posted here saying my
VX6000 somehow slipped into a speakerphone mode. Well, tonight I
figured
out how to force this, and here's the procedure.
-- Initial Preparation: One-time Setup --
It requires a little bit of initial setup which can be a little bit of
a
pain. Basically you need to make sure you have a voice ringer on your
phone. The easiest way to produce one of these is to go into the Voice
Memo feature, record a quick memo (can be silence if you like), save
it,
then go into Send Pix Message in the Camera mode, enter your cell
number
as the destination, go down to Sound, hit OK, choose Voice Memo, and
select the memo you just recorded. Send it. When you receive the
message,
select Save Sound from the options menu and enter a name of some sort.
-- Starting Speakerphone Mode --
Now you're all set. To initiate Speakerphone mode, you need to press
and
hold the * key twice to throw the phone in Silence All mode. Go into
your
My Media menu (Menu + 7), Music (2), and scroll down to the voice memo
you
saved as a voice ringer. Let the phone sit there for a few seconds,
then
hit End to return to the main screen.
If you like, you can now hold * a few seconds to exit Silence All
mode.
Place a call. To turn the Speakerphone on, press any key.
-- Drawbacks/Bugs/Needs Further Investigation --
The press-any-key-to-go-speakerphone functionality seems to remain
active,
surviving power-cycles, until you remove the battery. I haven't found
a
way to turn off this functionality without killing power to the phone,
but
then again, most of my work tonight has been focused on getting the
phone
INTO speakerphone mode, not out of it.
Obviously, this is better suited for use as a "toy" feature more than
something that will appeal to die-hard speakerphone fans, since
there's no
way to toggle the speakerphone off during a call. You need to pop the
battery off and reboot. But, again, I'm sure someone else will find a
way
around this and will post it here (e-mailing me a copy of the details
while they're at it, of course).
So there you go. Enjoy.
Steve
