[quote="SkyLab"]hey everyone,
just tried the smartanswer, but there's this question - when playing back messages, i notice that it's only out on speaker phone.

is there any setting or anything else, that enables you to listen to messages in private? (without speaker)

Now you can move joystick left/right when listening to a message to change the volume (volume level you've set up once will be saved). Anyway the developers are looking for a better solution 😊

thanks! that's good to know. after trying it out, (well apart from public messge playback) i think it's a really great app!!

I have tested SmartAnswer and there still is a "microphone bug". The microphone is muted, but only after a few seconds from the moment the machine "answers". During these few seconds the caller can hear perfectly what happens on the other side. I have tested the application on Nokia 6600 (SW v4.09.1).
Any posibility to remove this (annoying) problem?
Ansering Machine from Iolan has the same problem, although they seem to have a different approach in muting the mic.
About the usability, SmartAnswer could benefit from puting the "Hide" command on the right soft key, as this is the most common action the user would perform after listening to messages. Having to go through the menus to hide it is really annoying. Actually, this is the only thing that could make me buy SmartAnswer instead of Iolan Answering Machine, which can be hidden with the right soft key.
