Re: Jambox speaker phone quality -> was Siri update prompts users to be brief (now jambox)

Geoff Waaler Fri, 17 May 2013 13:57:54 -0700

Hi Brenda,

When I attempted to use my JB as a speaker phone in the past, two differentpeople screamed at me. One friend complained about a high pitched hiss inthe background. This was before the recent firmware update, which may havemade a difference? I just tested it here using my magicjack and it soundedmuch better than a typical speaker phone to me. Of course the test was abit flawed by the feedback echo, but it may depend on how picky the otherparty is.


Take care.
Geoff

The time I tried it, it seemed to be good quality from what the otherperson

said.

I've never made calls with that box. Is it easy for people to hear youwhen

you talk on there?

Take care,

I think you can do that with the JamBox, but I think I have only used it
with my phone once for a phone call.

I usually only listen to my JamBox on Saturday night, after 10 PM, and itis

Miller-time, and I don't usually get phone calls at that time.

Me, too. Is there a way to program that jambox to do that, so we couldhang

up with the talk button?

I do have trouble with the two-finger double-tap technique at times.
I keep my fingernails shorter than most people, so I know that that is not
the problem, and I always keep my fingers apart.
My only desire for the iPhone is that it would be nice if we could answer
and hang up with the use of one of the real buttons.

Do you have trouble then, hanging up a call? It's hard for me, somehow, to
end the call.

Take care,

I usually do voice dial by holding down that button.
That is my preferred method, either say the number or the name of the
contact.
Sometimes if it is a bit noisy, or if I just don't feel like talking to my
phone, I will dial the good-old fashioned way, with my finger.
LOL

I turned mine off one time and forgot that i had done it and she tried togodown my list to call someone. If you hold that home button down to htillyou

hear that sound when she's off, the phone wants to voice dial. Very
interesting. Has that ever happened to ya?

I'ts just strange. Sometimes she doesn't answer at all. She used to answer

everything for me. I never ask long questions either. The other thingwhich

i find quite amusing is this.

   I have videos of canaries. On my computer, if I show them, the titles

are in English. Now, since the update on my iPhone, if I show the videoson

my phone, the titles are not only in English, but two or three others
besides. I laugh at that.

Take care,

Brenda

For me it is not cooperative when I'm in a very very loud place like a car
or the MSU at my school. but other then that it works fine. but I speak
slightly slower then I talk in real life which is extremely fast. lol!

Take care.
