Hi,
I am currently testing out a Benq E72 wifi phone, and I have the problem with the loudspeaker working instead of the earpiece.

I have tried lots of workarounds; none work either with AGEphone or with Fring.

I have experimented up to now with AGEphone Mobile 2.76. Now I see AGEphone Mobile 2.77 is available.
I have uninstalled 2.76, [the uninstall said that the application was not completely removed], downloaded and installed what I thought was 2.77, but when I go to "About" status it shows I still have v2.76.

Should I reset my phone completely or do you still have the 2.76 cab on your website?

Hello benque73 and welcome to the forums! We already chatted about this today, but I guess your post is useful for other people here in the forum as well. Unfortunately, chances to see the speaker switch work on the Benq E72 are marginal at best. The manufacturers are unenthusiastic to help out hacking around the way Microsoft set things up at best and do not want the internal speaker to be used for anything but normal calls at worst. Some of them may not be too interested in the latter, especially if they don't have any contracts with a carrier for that specific phone model, but we still rarely even received a reply to this kind of request. Without their help it's literally searching for the needle in the haystack. We got lucky with the HTC devices, but any other manufacturer requires weeks of testing that endangers the device and is not even guaranteed to be successful in the end. There are simply too many unknown parameters for too many devices to make any attempt to master the situation even resemble an economic process. We will keep our eyes open for any breakthrough in that direction, but chances are just as well that Microsoft changes the way the audio processing is implemented, making any workaround obsolete.

As for v2.76 being shown instead of v2.77, that is correct and only a temporal mistake. For the moment only the Toshiba TG01 version reflects the new version number, but we will put up the new regular version very soon. I'll provide you with the changelog here and on XDA-Dev as usual.
