Hi all,

is there a way to configure my Z2 to auto answer when my headphones are inserted and a someone is calling me?

if not could you please suggest me an app to be used and compatible with Lollipop?

thanks in advance

I think you should check this out:

Bear in mind that sometimes some issues were created by this app though,like keyboard not showing up during call or so.

thanks for the suggestion but it needs at least one tap to answer.

I was thinking something where you can set 2 secs of delay and then autoanswer. To make an example I was using Handsfree but after the upgrade to LOLLIPOP it does not work anymore.

You could contact the developer of that app and let him know about compatibility with 5.0.

He already said that he will abandon the project.

This is why I'm looking for a workaround and asking a solution...

Unfortunately I don't have any good news. I doubt that SmartKey will be updated to support Lollipop so I'd recommend to check for 3rd party software in this case.

A bit late to thius thread, but an auto-answer feature when using headphones would be a real benefit for me.

When riding my motorbike, I have my Z5 Compact hooked up to my motorcycle intercom system to provide navigation (via GoogleMaps), music (via radio or downloads) and the last part of the jigsaw (which I used to have with an old Nokia 6230) was the ability to auto answer incoming calls after 2 rings.
