Hi Folks,
I have just a simple question,
Is it possible to use the T-Mobile Ameo or the HTC Athena as a normal mobile Phone without the build in speaker or a handsfree like it was possible with teh HTC Universal? There are users saying yes you can but the German Press is telling that you can only make calls with the build In speakers or with a handsfree.
Thanks for help

I can confirm that you won't be able to use it like a normal phone, you either use the build in speaker or headset, however, there is a trick, if you turn the volume down, you can use it "just like" a normal phone
Thanks for the answer!
AMEO no good as phone
Just received my Ameo tried to use it as a phone - yes you can turn the volume down but not low enough that everyone around you can still hear the conversation. I had the volume turned as low as possible (the in call volume setting) which is a bit too loud to put to your ear also the sound comes out of both speakers. The option to turn on/off the speaker phone is greyed out.
Fortunately you have seven days to send you device back if you ordered it direct from t-mobile...I had the vario II before but that kept locking up with TomTom...TT works great on the Ameo but I still need a useable phone. I was hoping to find a registry hack to enable you to turn the volume down and to perhaps turn off the other speaker whilst on the phone - anyone?
Hi,
I got the same idea and searched allready in the registry to lower the volume.
I didn't found it yet, but i am a rooky with registry. I keep searching!
any solution yet? i hate to use those cyborg looking bt headsets...
Any workaround taht enables the use of the phone as a conventional one yet? Thanks.
there could be some registry hacks about the built in speaker's volume during a call. I've found them but modifying them doesn't make any difference. However these settings work on just about ANY other sound that athena could make (aplications, alerts etc), but not the in call volume
I haven't tried it yet, but the Style-I by LG seems to be the best option for regular phone use with the Athena
Hi guys,
i was wondering if someone can help me with a annoying issue i am having with my phone
Whenever i am on a phone call and someone sends me a sms/message, the ringtone i have assigned to messages/sms plays through the speaker (not loud speaker) and all i can hear is a loud message notification and not the actual person i am talking too.
Any ideas how to get rid of this annoying issue?

Go into phone settings and select call alerts and disable alerts during phone calls.
thank you so so much fo this.
This has been driving me insane and did what u suggested and it has fixed the issue i was having,
Hello,
I have the problem that when I receive a message or email, my phone vibrates and plays the notification sound also during a phone call which is extremely annoying, also for the person on the other side.
Any chance I can change this? It want the sound and vibrating, but NOT during phone calls.
Any idea?
Thanks!
Hi there I have the same problem and couldn't agree with u more.it it's really annoying when in a call and u can hear it going off in ear.I'd love to no if there is any way possible to stop this.....
Hi,
I'm looking for an app that will reduce the sound of my voice call quality (either just outbound or both). Preferably something I can turn on when a phone call gets too long and I need an excuse to hang up, but something that I can just have on and will make every phone call sound bad would work, too.
Thanks.
Please? I need this soon.
Hi,
is there an app/setting to let my tablet knows when my phone is ringing ? (Both Android of course).
I sometimes have my headphones and I miss calls because I dont have the phone on me.
Thanks.
