5140i - v03.80 - Missing Push to Talk menu item

Hello all,
I have a 5140i S40 phone running firmware version 03.80 RM-104.
The official user manual says Push to Talk should be available on this phone. It has an entire section on how to configure the PTT application. I'm assuming it's on the ROM.
The problem is that the Push to Talk application is missing from my phone. Its not listed anywhere in the menus or configuration of the phone.
How do I get it back?
John

If you have an operator customized version, the operator (carrier, service provider) may have requested Nokia to remove it from the firmware.
It may also be available as a separate, user-installable app, but as far as I know, Nokia is no longer developing the PTT (or PoC, Push to talk over Cellular, as Nokia called it) technology, and they're probably not distributing the installation packages, either.
Note that if your operator does not support Nokia's PTT, then having it in the phone is useless anyway. In other words, if operator has not purchased and still run Nokia's PTT servers, the PTT app on the phone has nothing it can connect to.
Also, if only you have a PTT app, it is also useless, unless also people you want to use it with, also have the same PTT app, and also use the same network operator, and have also subscribed to the PTT service of that operator.
Alternative (for phones that support it): An IP telephony (VoIP, Voice over IP) solution, like Skype, Fring, etc.

Toggle mute (push to talk) and mute microphone

Been using skype while gaming with friends to communicate. I've disabled all hotkeys with the exception of toggle mute (push to talk). Once a call starts, I press the mute button on the call screen and the toggle mute works fine for communicating. However, every hour or so during a game I will randomly become unmuted and when I try to talk I end up toggling the mute on and no one hears me. Eventually someone will hear feedback or backround noises and tell me I've been unmuted. The mute microphone hotkey isnt active and just to be sure I made the hotkey ctrl+alt+shift+` so theres no possible way I can be accidently doing it. But somehow I'm still randomly being unmuted during game. Its incredibly frustrating because I have to alt+tab out and press the mute button manually on the call page. Has anyone ever encountered this or know of a solution to this? The only thing I can think of is that I'm somehow pressing the mute button on the call screen through the game's overlay which is full screen and I have no idea what to do to fix this issue.

Hi Run the program as an administrator. This solved in my case. It's probably a problem that is caused when Skype is out of focus. I think this problem will be solved in the next versions of Skype. attRafael de França

Push to Talk on Android Phones

Will Verizon ever release a push to talk app for our android phones (Thunderbolt and DroidX) so we can communicate with other Verizon push to talk customers?

Who says you only want to talk to other Android phones?
Well, if you stop and think about what the OP is saying, with a company full of PTT flip-phones they cannot use all the fancy messging of which you speak. Only Verzion PTT.
I have multiple ruggedized handsets with PTT-only service (can't even voice out) that we issue to workers in the field. Unfortunately I cannot issue Android-based handsets to my managers because there is not way for them to talk to the workers. Sure, they could add a market PTT app like Tiki but that will only allow Android phones to talk to each other. The only impractical solutions, which undermines the whole PTT concept, is to issue two phones to managers.
It's a loose - loose situation for both me and Verizon.
Oh well, I don't need the added expense of paying for data plans for my managers anyway.

Is there anyway to just use one button for push to talk?

I use ventrilo all the time but have been wanting to switch to skype. I can't stand using constant open mic so i wanted to use push to talk. On skype its always alt/control/shift plus something else is there anyway to make it only 1 key?

In Firefox 4 by default the Stop, Go and Reload buttons are combined and attached to the right hand edge of the location bar.
When you are typing in the location bar it will show the Go button. When a site is loading it shows the Stop button. At other times it shows the Reload button.
If you want separate buttons, right-click on a toolbar and choose Customize, you can then drag and drop the stop or reload buttons and place them elsewhere. If you place them in the order "Reload-Stop" on the right hand edge of the location bar they will be combined again. For more details on customizing the toolbar see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar

6680 push to talk

hello all , need help working my push to talk on my 6680 evertime i try and switch it on i get the message unable to switch on . check ptt settings . can anyone help ?

You would need to contact your network and get their settings for PTT and then subscribe to the service with them. As far as I know none of the UK networks support PTT yet.

Push-to-talk menu doesn't existe on Nokia 6300

Hi everybody and sorry for my english, 'cause i'm french speaker most of the time. i'm the owner of new 6300 Nokia with un old Orange Contract.
1: so i've got this new 6300 nokia model yesterday (after i changed another one who wasn't recognising my sim card)witch seems to miss this push-to-talk menu: what semms to be the problem, cause in the user guide it is?
2: in the same time i didn't find where we can check the level of the baterrie, ...if it exist;
3: can we change the ring tone of the amarm clock? if it is so where?
Thanks, Janyjane

Hi janyjane I think for the push to talk function you need to phone your network up and ask them to activate it. As for the battery life i don't know of any other way to check it Only the top left corner. As for the alarm tone if you go into where your music is (ie) your memory card go to your music scroll down to the tune you want and go into options scroll down to use tone and select alarm from the list. Hope this helps. Cheers Andy

How do I enable push to talk?

I look through skype multiple times and can't find a single button that says "settings" or "recording settings" or even "audio settings".
It's kind of ridiculous how hard it is to find, and I'd really like to enable push to talk since my headphone mic recently stopped working and I need to use the one built into my computer now...
Solved!

Disable or change global push to talk keyboard shortcut

When in a call in Skype there is a global keyboard shortcut of CMD + Option + CTRL + Up Arrow to enable push to talk mode. There is no way to customize of disable it. I tried adding a global shortcut in keyboard maestro, it was triggered but the push to talk mode was also triggered in Skype. Is there a way to make keyboard maestro take control over these types of global shortcuts?

Not sure for Mac, but in Windows I can enable, disable or change this option. However, according to https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12024/what-are-hotkeys-and-how-do-i-use-them-mac and https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA12074/what-keyboard-shortcuts-can-i-use-with-skype-for-mac-os-x seems that these options are available for Mac OS.

6230i Push To Talk

Hey can someone help me plz? ive got a 6230i and its basically ma back up fone cos i also have an n70 but on my 6230i, I dont seem to have the push to talk settings or menu on the phone! Does anyone know why or what i can do? Thanx!
Oh yeh btw my service provider is T-mobile and the phone is locked on T-mobile.. could T-mobile have "deleted" the access themselves because the phone came direct from them!?Message Edited by nirave on 10-Mar-2006

There's no PTT service on T Mobile and the variant software may reflect this. 6230s dont have PTT so are you sure its a 6230i i.e. RM-72?

Push-to-talk with Nortel 6140 wireless handset + WLC 4400

Hi!
I'm trying to configure the push to talk feature built in to the Nortel 6140 wireless phone handset, but can't seem to make it work with our WLC 4400.
This is from the Nortel documentation:
"he WLAN Handset 2211 and WLAN Handset 6140 join the IP multicast
stream through Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) v1 reports.
Each handset continues to send IGMP reports as long as PTT is enabled,
so the IP multicast state is maintained in the network, even when there is no
active use of the PTT feature. The multicast address used to support PTT is
224.0.1.116, and the port is 5001".
I've tried to configure the WLC as described (enable multicast with address 224.0.1.116), but still it's no go.
Anyone got any experience with this?

That looks like the Spectralink group address. On the controller enable multicast and use an administratively scoped address in the 239.192.0.0/14 range, and enable multicast routing between the controller an APs. The phone group address should not be the same as the WLC/AP group address. I have also seen multicast-unicast mode work as well, but might flood your network.

When Teamspeak window is in background push to talk doesn't work! OSX Mavericks

Teamspeak window is in background push to talk does not work.
This problem started when i install OSX Mavericks, I already tried to enable "Access For Assistive Devices".. didn´t work.

There have been some reports of iPhone's mail app 'forgetting' to check for new mail, but the phenomenon you see of an already-read email (read on another machine) not getting marked as Read right away on the iPhone is a byproduct of the design of the app. Since it can't hold an open connection all day long, the read status is only updated when you open Mail and it polls the server. The iPhone will also only update the unread count when it either Fetches at your predetermined interval or it receive a Push notification. Neither of these actually update the status of current mail on your system, but merely get the new text and increase the unread count appropriately.
But, as I said above, some people are seeing iPhone behavior where its not checking for new mail at all. This, unfortunately, is a bug that rumor has it is high on Apple's to-do list.

Nokia 6500 Push to talk

Hello,
anyone know how to activate Push to Talk ?I press mine and it always pop up "check connection settings...

Firstly it is not true that Push to talk (PTT) is only available in the US. It is available in Europe as well. Unfortunetly Nokia is taking the PTT off most phones sent to Europe. It looks like they are backing down on the idea of PTT in Europe.
The 3110C has PTT and it works well on PTT I have tested it. There also a few other phones that have PTT on them and that are working well in Europe. It also works well in some parts of Africa as I have tried it there and it works as well.

ISSUES 7921G roaming whit push to talk

Hello,
We have a deployment with many Cisco AP around 100, the AP are closer each other,This AP only works with 2.4 radio, because the radio of 5 don´t have anntenas to work so the only radio to cover the deplyment is the 2.4 Ghz.
The network was designed and installed by another company, they mounted 20 Aps to cover offices and 80 Aps to cover a warehouse mounted higt around 65 feet and there are separates each other around 41 feet.
I am having issues with 7921G phones roaming through a 802.11b/g, The phones do not seem to be moving on to nearby APs at the right time therfore alowing the call to degrade and drop out, I was hoping someone could give me some tips on WLC configuration and AP power to optimize the system already installed. I am really limited as to the amount and location of the APs
This issue it´s more when use the 7921G the push to talk ficture
The WiFi network has plenty of APs installed. It certainly has -67dbm coverge in all areas and also a more than of 20% overlap.
7921G ver 1.3.2
WLC 4400 ver 7.0.116.0
CCM ver 4.0
APs: AIR-LAP1242AG-N-K9
Thanks you
XU

Hi,
I Used the tool, but the only change it´s recomended it´s in the 802.11a network but this frecuency its not possible, because the 802.11a network was disabled.
I upgrade WLC firmware to the 7.0.235.0, and the data rate there are available are 9 for mandatory and the other higher data rates are supported.
The security for the phones are wep, and the multicast mode are Unicast, becuase if I configure the multicast in Multicast mode don´t work with the PTT.
I think in the Wired LAN dont have IP multicas routing. But I cant touch the LAN network.
Best Regards
