Has anyone noticed the bluetooth headset icon is no longer there when using the phone after upgrading to the latest O2 rom. My JasJar used to show the a headset icon at top of the arrow when ever I switched to phone screen (providing I had the paired headset on).
Also gone from the update is the notification beep from the headset when the phone has no signal.
These things were great and I am not sure how to get them back.
Hello, -
I've paired my MDA Vario with an 'allways' (Cardo Systems) BT headset. The pairing went fine, though the only profile offered was 'handsfree'. The headset icon appears on the dialpad screen, and when I place a call I can switch to the BT HS.
But when a call comes in, there is no way to get that call transfered to the BT HS. It does not pickup when I push the connect button on the HS. Even the 'incoming call' panel displays that a HS is connected, I did not find a way to accept any incoming with the HS.
Any suggestions? Or do I just need to by a better HS?
I'm running standard MDA Vario (T-Mobile) ROM & extension, - no mods to the BT stack or anything ...
Thanks
At the moment, it seems I can only see if the headset is connected to the TD when I'm in the calls screen (Orange TD by the way).
Anyone got a fix to put it on the today screen? It'd be nice to see the GPS device I have too in the same vein...
I wish the bluetooth LED would only flash if something (like headset) was connected, or possibly remain lit so it's very easy to see if my headset was connected.
I too find this lack of info in the today screen frustrating.
However, I do use phoneAlarm (http://www.pocketmax.net) which has a headset icon (perhaps depends on the skin that's used) that shows when the headset is connected.
One of the biggest things I'm missing, compared to my regular mobile phone, is a clear status indicator whether the phone call I'm about to make or pick up will be routed through my headset or not. The bluetooth icon in the top taskbar is shown no matter if a headset is connected, it just denotes "bluetooth is active"; e.g. my headset is off now and the icon is still there.
If I go to the dialer screen, I can type a number and press "dial", but I do not know if the connection with the headset is active. So I'm often going like "where are you" putting the headset and phone against my ear trying to figure out where the audio is going. There must be a way to show that information on the startscreen and dialerscreen.
I am not exactly sure what you mean. But on my set, whenever I connect a headset (bluetooth or wired) an icon appears on the taskbar, even when I use the dialer. There I know that I am using headset. The icon goes off when the headset is disconnected.
Simple: I do not have that icon. If you also have the same phone; how does that icon look? Maybe I'm overlooking it.
I did ask HTC about such an icon and they said that is wasn't available. So I'm curious how your icon looks.

The icon is the same as in the manual. If you do not have the manual, download from www.htc.com. If you do not have the icon, then there's something wrong.

How can HTC advise against something published in their manual and website.

I checked the guide and found two headset icons; stereoheadset (p40) and wired headset (p41). But my simple mono bluetooth headset is not stereo and not wired... So then there is no icon? How does your icon look?
My test is simple: go to the phone screen or today screen and check all icons. Then turn on the headset and see if something changes.

As I said, my icon looks exactly like in the manual. If I hook a wired headset, the wired headset icon appears at the taskbar. Likewise for the bluetooth headset (mine is manual) - the bluetooth headset icon appears.. simple as that. I've been using this for 5 months now, and the headset icons were there since day one.

Hm. Ok, I rebound the headset to the phone, and I indeed get now an icon in the dialer screen now. Appearantly something was not 100% right there.
I still do not get an icon on the today screen, so I don't know if the headset is connected until I actually need it (which usually is too late). However, I now also found an icon on the S2U2 lock screen, so that is an acceptable replacement for the missing one on the today screen. The lock screen is shown a lot during normal handling and also during pick-up.
Thanks for persisting
Does anyone know a bluetooth plugin that takes only one row on today screen and can pair with bluetooth headset?
The wirless manager today plugin takes a lot of space. Or anyone know how to get rid of operator name on this plugin to make it taking only one row?
I found some wireless manager plugin on xda-dev but they only turn on off bluetooth. I usually pair my pda with bluetooth headset
PocketToolman seemed to fit to me (one row tray and an icon to access commanager) but I couldn't access wireless manager with that icon although everything else worked ok. Poor me
I've just found that Home Screen ++ systray works much better than I hoped. A2DP feature can connect my phone directly to bluetooth headset
