8700 in holster > hanging up calls?
With the 8700 in the holster phone calls can be taken by pressing the trackwheel > but how to hang up a call?
|
What do you mean by calls can be taken while in holster? Using a BT earpiece? Otherwise, how do you take calls with the BB in the holster?

No earpiece. Device in holster > call comes in > take it by pressing the trackwheel. This works. What I am looking for is a way to end the call then without taking the 8700 out of the holster (can't do this with the END button as the button is not available in the holster). |

However when there is no possibility to end a call directly by pressing one of the 8700s buttons (with the trackwheel this can be done but there's the need to turn the wheel additinonally for two steps which can be sometimes a bit tricky when on the road) this option is meaningless at all. :-( |
I don't get this either. Use a BT headset and answer and hang up from the headset.

WTF? |
I actually enjoy these threads where I have no idea what is going on. Sometimes Blackberry Forums can be altogether too transparent.
|
I'm glad it isn't just me who is confused here. Is this guy pulling my leg, or do we have a real WTF issue here?

It's not an annoyance - it's just mass confusion. I still, after all this talk, cannot understand why you want to answer a phone call whith the device still in the holster, without using an earpiece. How do you listen to the person on the phone? You can't hear them!
|
I'd like to know the answer as I am confused as well!?!

I am not sure if "earpiece" means the same as "headset"? (I am a German native). However of course I CAN listen by using the loudspeaker on the *front* of the 8700: device in holster > incoming call > pressing the trackwheel to take the call > device to the ear as always when you use the device as cellphone. Works fine! The holster (delivered with the 8700) I use has a cut-out arround the loudspeaker. Also the microphone is not covered. So you can leave the device in the holster when talking. I am sorry but I am not aware the fact that I ever said I used my 8700 without earpiece, loudspeaker or headset?? |
What case do you have? Do you have a pic of it you can post here? Also, when you have the device in the holster, can you see the keyboard and screen?
The loudspeaker does not turn on automatically, you have to activate it by pressing a button on the keybard or by using the trackwheel. |

Interesting. That might clear up a little bit of the confusion -- that's NOT the holster we get with ours. I still find it strange that you're talking into your holster though.
And frankly, I call it a bug that the BlackBerry allows you to answer the phone while in the holster but doesn't put it on speakerphone. Given the fact that 1) you're really not supposed to use the phone while it's in the holster, and 2) you can't hang up the phone while it's in the holster, as you have noted, I don't think this is necessarily intended behavior. It would make perfect sense if answering it while in the holster put it into speakerphone mode, but since it doesn't I'm calling this a bug. Interesting use you get out of it though. |

I have3 the opposite problem
I want my BB to NOT answer the phone when taking it out of the holster. it works this way unless I accidently press the thumb wheel when removing it. Is there any way to prevent it answering as I grasp the sides to pull it from the holster? Thanks |
This kind of falls in line with the question I have. I have just gotten an 8700 C and when I pull it out of the holster I fat finger it and answer it before I can see who is calling. Is there a way to disable this and only allow the green phone button to answer?
|
OK, does noone here know a way to do this. I guess it cannot be done. HELP
