9 years ago Very interesting idea.
About auto handfree I was also wondering if another feature wouldn't be nice
(It's in my mind since a long time but didn't tried to implement it yet).
Let me know what do you think about that :
I can actually detect thanks to proximity sensor whether the user's face is
near or not of the phone. Assuming that the proximity sensor works well, it
could make sense to automatically switch to speaker if face is far from the
screen and to earpiece if face is near to the screen.
I didn't see any phone nor sip app that do that (or at least provide an option
for that). They probably have a good reason to, but I don't know what it could
be...
As an user when I put my face far to the screen it's usually to dial dtmf
digits or to switch to handfree mode or to hang up.
For the two first point automatic speaker mode is what I actually want (most of
the time when I dial digits I also turn speaker on to be able to ear what's
said by the auto attendant).
For the last point, I don't think that it would be too much hurting to switch
to speaker cause sometimes the remote party has a last thing to say and
sometimes it's cool to hear what he says too :)
Of course that should be an option by default to off. But maybe could be
interesting to have. What do you think?
Another solution could be to implement as HTC does with recent devices : they
use the compass sensor + proximity to automatically activate speaker if device
is returned and laid on a table to switch to speaker phone. I could do that too.
