I can't seem to figure out why they're doing this. Its particularly annoying, not because I don't want to talk to the person, but because I can't talk to the person (busy at work or elsewhere), but my phone answers anyways.
It doesn't do this with the wired headphones, or when not using any headphones. In case your wondering, its the Samsung SBH-170 (Stereo Bluetooth Headset).
I thought I saw a setting in the phone that had something to do with this, but of course I can't find it now that I need it (maybe I'm thinking of my old phone). There is a setting to automatically answer a phone and I can set how many rings, but that is not activated/selected.
Any ideas?

Ok, this is going to sound really daft and I know alot of you are going to say, "Whats this guy raving on about??", lol
Ok, here goes.
My wizard is on a phone holder in my lorry, usede for Tomtom.
I have a works mobile, with a bluetooth headset. (Also works).
The headset can only be paired to one phone at a time and although I dont get many calls on either phone it would be nice to work out a way to use one headset on both phones.
So now the question, does anyone know of a way I can basically forward the audio, over BT to the wizard from the works phone, and then have the wizard output that audio, again over BT, to the headset?
I'm not botherd aboout the button control as I can use the phone for answering and hanging up.
HI all,
I got a t-mobile Vario II and have a plantronics 655 handsfree. I have searched the forum but found nothing that answers my problem.
I want to be able to answer a call from the phone and when the handsfree is paired the sound to come through the handsfree. I have tried a few handsfree kits but none seem to work and all the calls come through the phone until i pull the handsfree out of my ear hit answer n put it back in. Am i missing something? I want to be able to answer a call from the phone and talk through my handsfree. When i make a phone call however from the phone it works fine and the sound comes through the handsfree like it should.
I read something about a handsfree profile...where is that? i don't have a handsfree profile option on my phone. Is it an add-on. I tried the handsfree with my ericsson phone and when u answer from the phone it asks if i want the audio through the handset or the handsfree..
hellpppppp...its driving me madd lol
I Take it no one knows the answer to this or has created a patch? Does everyone answer there phone from the answer button on the bluetooth handsfree then? ??
What you are trying to do, is contrary to the feature designed into your dialer. When you answer the phone call from the phone instead of the connected headset, you obviously wanted to talk via the phone not the headset so that is where it routes the call. You can get it back to the headset after you answered on your phone by selecting the menu option and selecting "Turn Handsfree On".
similar issue
I have an ATT branded 8525, and a Motorola H550.
I'm using the built in voice dialer, as I really don't feel like shelling out any more money for voice commander, when I'm paying for the spb products I have (pocketplus, mobile shell, and phone suite).
With other phones, I could use the phone (by hand) to dial a number, while wearing the BT headset, and it would automatically put the conversation on the phone.
This doesn't.
Also, when I receive a call, I don't get the ringtones I have selected for specific callers, just a generic beep.

That issue is actually unrelated. The issue that arnie_ahu has is trying to do something differently than the phone design. However, your issue is a real issue. Dialing on the phone and pressing call should send the call to the headset if it is connected properly. The ony conclusion I can think of is that it is not connected properly as a headset.
In my experience, this is Bluetooth device specific. When I use my Jawbone, I can answer on the phone and the conversation will be on the Jawbone. However, if I use a Plantronics 320 and answer on the phone, the conversation will be on the phone.
The reason why I answer using the phone instead of using the Bluetooth headset is out of courtesy to the caller. For some reason, when I answer with a Bluetooth device, the caller hears a very loud sound that is reminiscent of a fog horn. I have experienced this with multiple phones and headsets. I am guessing this is related to the Bluetooth handshake.
edited: spelling correction.
It may be (for me) because I am using mp3 ringtones on a mono earpiece.
From what I have found on line, that won't work with WM5, which sucks, because it worked on my old piece of crap nokia 6230.
Why oh why must this be so hard?
Now I have to try and convert the mp3 ringtones I made from full songs to something the phone will use.
Hi,
So when you have a Bluetooth headset connected it's a fair expectation for calls (audio) to be routed through to it, right?
When making a call this happens as per expect.
However if you ANSWER a call via the handset itself (hard button or slider) then the call is kept local to the handset, it's only if you answer the call via your button on your Bluetooth headset that the call is routed to there.
Now you can once in the call select the "Handsfree On" from the menu to transfer it to the headset once you've realised your mistake, but surely this is a bit of a pain.. no?
I for one will most of the time physically pick up the handset and take a look who is calling before answering it (unless driving etc), so would like to just press the answer button and away I do.
Ideas anyone?
(Thanks!)

I have the same on my iPhone using my In-car bluetooth.
If I answer using the bluetooth answer button it goes thru the car speakers. If I use the handset answer button, it uses the iPhone itself, though I can then select to change it to the bluetooth from the iPhone.
I haven't received my Brodit cradle for my HD2 yet, so I've not set it up in the car yet, but I'm expecting the same arrangement I guess.

Hmm, I guess it's a case of personal preference - while you and I seem to agree I guess other may like the way it is. The answer is therefore a way to CONFIGURE this behaviour - anyone know if this is possible?
Same thing happens on my Topaz... didn't happen in my Omnia though.
I would like to know a way to alter it as well.
Has anyone tried the Car Kit Mode bluetooth option on the HD2 in the Sense UI 'Settings' tab then 'Other' at the bottom of the list, where you can tick or untick the box for autoconnect? I haven't but would like to know if it works for you.

Not really. A carkit is also a bluetooth headset. When I'm in the car and not driving, I can always choose to answer with the carkit - then everyone in the car can join in the conversation - or answer it on the device, which I prefer when my wife is driving and the kids are in the back. Even though I've made the mistake of using the slider when I really wanted the call on the carkit, I find having the choice a pretty good deal actually.
And besides, when using a headset, who's gonna take the phone out of their pocket to answer the call when all you need do is touch your headset - or better still set it to auto answer on headset calls. And if you really *need* to know who is calling first, why not install MSVC to have the phone tell you who is calling? Seriously, what's the point in using a headset if you're gonna take the phone out of your pocket anyway?
I have a set of bluetooth earphones that are capable of both audio and hands-free, but I only want to use them for audio. This is easy, as you just untick the hands-free option when you pair them with the phone.
However, when I turn the earphones on the phone pops up a message saying "the device is trying to connect to use a hands-free headset or car kit with your phone". I then have the option to accept or reject this pairing. This happens every time I turn the earphones on, so it's getting quite annoying (especially since I turned off the hands-free option when I originally paired!)
I simply want to stop this message popping up, so I need to know if there's a way of making the phone automatically reject the request for the earphones to act as a hands-free kit.
I've been all through the bluetooth settings and didn't find anything, but I'll ask the question on here in the hope that someone else has some ideas.
Thanks
Hey john, can't help you on this one m8.
Just needed to comment on how strange it seems you asking the forum questions instead of everyone asking you, and you sorting out our problems.
Good look on your quest
Heh - cheers mate. I'll keep my fingers crossed.
Can't really help you but I can tell you what I have seen ...
I have a rocketfish BT headset ....
once it is paired and I authorize the connection, I can shut off either or and it does not ask me for the other, it will connect to the headset if I hit a "media" button on the headset though ...
I wonder if the device you are using is "Asking" to reconnect even though it is already paired ...
just my .02

It only asks me to accept or reject the hands-free connection - the audio connection just connects. I believe it is the earphones that are trying to connect as a headset, so I just need a way to tell the phone to automatically refuse that connection, just like it automatically accepts the audio one.
This is after I've turned off the earphones, and then turned them back on again, like the first time I've used them in a day. It's not during regular use.
Grrrr
I think this may have more to do with your particular headphones than the HD2. Meaning your headphones just don't quite match up with the HD2's wonky bluetooth implementation. I use a cheap bluetooth stereo receiver from DealExtreme. I don't know the model, but it shows up as BCK-08. It can pair as stereo audio or handsfree. I have it set to do both, and I never get a pop up like that. Can you do that, or do you specifically want to disable hands free?
PS. This title was funny. When I saw it on the main HD2 page it said Bluetooth - stop asking... I was sure that it was going to say stop asking how to control other media players, besides Sense, with a bluetooth headset. This still isn't possible right?
With my G1, when I'd answer a call using the phone itself (either the hardware button or the on-screen button), the audio would be routed to the bluetooth headset automatically (when it was connected).
With the Aria, when I answer a call using the on-screen buttons on the phone, it routes the audio to the phone. Then I have to hit menu and select bluetooth quickly, or the caller hangs up because they don't hear me. This is very inconvenient when I'm driving, and negates the purpose of having the bluetooth headset in the first place.
Yes, the obvious solution is to answer calls using the button on the headset, but I can't train myself to do that. And like I said, when it's connected to bluetooth, it should route audio to the headset by default anyway.
Anyone know a solution to this?
Nobody sees this as an issue?

This was happening too me... It was because I was answering the call on the phone and not the bluetooth... Answering with the bluetooth solved the problem.

Seems pretty straightforward. Answer with phone, audio is on phone. Answer with BT, audio is on BT. Exactly what I want when I answer in my car since BT goes over car speakers.
Ok, I'm glad YOU like it, but I don't. If my headset is connected, I want audio to go to the headset. Else, I wouldn't bother putting it on my ear and connecting it to my phone.
So, does anyone know if there is a way to change it?

You don't have a button on your headset to answer the call? I would think touching a button near you eary would be just as easy or easier than sliding your finger across your phone in the appropriate spot.
In California it is illegal to have the phone in your hand at all while driving. Even to answer the phone. Perhaps that is why Android does this.
I DO have a button on my headset. My phone sits in a holder in my van, pointing at me. When it rings, I look to see who's calling and instictively push the answer button on the phone, as that's what I'm used to doing when I'm NOT driving. THEN, I have to open the menu, and and find the bluetooth option while driving. Bluetooth is supposed to make driving safer, not more cumbersome.
As I said, if I have the bluetooth connected, why wouldn't I want audio routed to it? I don't put the thing on my ear just to look good! LOL
I agree with OP. I thought this was a bug in the ROM. Every other phone I have used has this convention - when bluetooth is connected, audio gets routed through the headset - in and out. At least, there should be an option to change the default behaviour in Android/Aria. If I am holding the phone in my hands, I intuitively answer the call on the phone and annoyingly the calls doesn't get routed to headset Or, I am driving and before I start a conversation I want to see if it's worth risking a conversation while driving (even with headset). Again, phone is in my hand and I answer the call - bluetooth doesn't get audio.
