So while I wait, the HD2 still wants to play

Yes, so while I wait for my new phone, I haven’t forgotten the HD2. There is life in the old girl yet. As you might know from my earlier posts I use an AVM Fritz!Box Fon WLAN 7390 (yes it is a bit of a mouthful) router. Like all routers it just sits there and does its job. Thing is it does a lot of jobs. It is also a DECT phone base-station and seamlessly integrates land-line and VOIP. There is also an Android app called FRITZ!App Fon. What this does is make your Android phone become a DECT handset allowing you to make or pick up landline or VOIP calls via WIFI. The problem was the app wouldn’t work with y HD2 which was disappointing. The phone would pick up or connect a call but you could hear anything. Not any more! I am not sure if it is because the app is updated or the MIUI ROM is doing something. But whatever its is, it now works perfectly.

The router also acts as a Media Server and there is an app for that as there is for the router’s call register.
