I think it's an issue with Android itself, but I could be wrong.
I was wondering about this myself as I just got the phone several days ago.

If I have a bluetooth device connected to my XV-6800, is there a setting or something I can do that will allow me to answer the phone with the call button on the phone, but have it connect to the bluetooth device? Right now if I hit the call button, it only goes through the phones speaker as if the bluetooth device was not connected. For me to answer a call using the bluetooth device, I have to hit the button on the bluetooth device.
Thanks,
Jeff
That's really strange. I know that I don't have the same phone as you (I have touch Elf). I have noticed this. When I have my device connected to bluetooth headset or my handsfree car kit, I can still hit the green call button to anser the phone when I get a call and the call is still transmitted to my bluetooth. I can even still make a call by hitting the green call button, dialing the number and still all through bluetooth.
It sounds like your device is not associating properly with the bluetooth device. Go into your bluetooth settings and check to make sure that you are connected properly for hands free - Go to settings - bluetooth and click on your device to make sure that hands free is checked.
I have also noticed that on a rare occasion, my bluetooth does not connect properly and although paired, does not transmit and sound did come through phone when it shouldn't have. To fix this, I did a soft reset and all was good. It happened to me about three times since I bought the phone in Dec 2007.

The bluetooth is properly connected. When I make a call and hit the green call button, it does go through the bluetooth device. It is only when answering a call it does not go through the bluetooth device when I hit the green call button. Yes, very strange. Oh well, I was hoping somebody might have some insight.

What radio and Windows ROM are you using? I know that some of the different ones fixed some BT issues. When my headset is connected it always goes to my headset no matter what I push. Sometimes I have it in my pocket and forget and then can't hear anything on the phone. I believe you can force it to go to your headset after answering the call though.

I am currently using DCD 3.2.6 with radio 3.37.75. To be honest I am not sure I have tried it with this combination. But, I have had the problem with a DCD rom, I just don't remember which radio.
My phone has always bypassed the bluetooth earpiece if I press the answer button on the phone and not the button on the earpiece. It did it from day one with the stock verizon rom and it still does it with my custom dcd rom.
I like the option of bypassing the earpiece to answer a call, especially in a crowd. Also I have the incoming calls announced thru the earpiece. This allows me to know who is calling without even looking at the phone or touching it to answer it thru the earpiece.
This is my insight on this. I hope this helps.
Are you using Voice Command? Is the sound very low?

Mine operates the same way. I don't beleive this is a "flaw", and may vary by type of bluetooth device being used. OP is looking for a way to override this setting / feature if anyone knows. Personally, I like the option of taking it on the phone for privacy reasons as my BT device is through the car speakers.

I agree, I don't necessarily think it is a flaw. I would prefer to have mine answer with the bluetooth if I hit the green call button. I was just wondering if there is a setting some where that I am overlooking to have it the way I would prefer.
I just tried it again with the DCD 3.2.6 and 3.37.75 radio. As has been mentioned above, it does not appear to be related to a rom or radio, it is a feature of the phone.
A friend of mine has an iphone, and when they get a phone with a bluetooth earpiece enabled, they get options on the screen which say answer, answer on phone, or ignore. Or something along those lines. I like having those options, but understand if it is not available on the 6800.
Thanks for all of the replies.

Hi all
does anyone know if there is a app that while in bluetooth sync mode with a bluetooth handsfree device could launch a switch when a incomming call comes in to give the option to select the call by bluetooth or phone or phones speakerphone? i saw this option on a iphone. if this app is not available could some maybe create one? this would be a great function for windows mobile device. i do know that there is a option after you answer the call to turn off the bluetooth but its in the menu option and not as accessable...
thanks for you help..

It should work simply like this on WM phones (at least on all the WM phones I have). When a call comes in:
1. If you press talk button on your Bluetooth handsfree, the call should get picked up through the handsfree.
2. If you answer the call on the phone by pressing either software or hardware button, the call is picked up on the phone.
Thank you for your reply i just have another question
will that be the same for if the phone was synced to a car bluetooth kit as well? i just want to know if so as maybe the rom i have has problems doing this...
I tried to do what is posted and it did not work for the car i answered from the hardware keys as well as the software keys and still picked up in the car. i jave to click menu then turn off hands free. is there some other option i need to select in some settings to change the way the hands free works? I will try with a blue tooth ear piece to see if there is a difference..
In looking more into this there are 2 profiles 1 is headset and the other is handsfree i believe ear pieces use the headset profile and car kits use handsfree profile i did check the earpiece and it worked as described above does anyone know how to change the handset profile? is this a reg setting or can someone tell me how these profiles are stored in winmo 6.5?
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?
Hi all,
Was wondering if there is a quick way to disable bluetooth or get the phone to not use the bluetooth connection when dialing out. I don't want to disable and then have to re-enable after the call. I want it to work similar to when you get an incoming call and use the answer key on the phone to answer it and the call stays with the unit and not routed to bluetooth ear piece but when you hang up, the bluetooth is still available for the next call. Hope that made sense.
Thanks,

Hi Ho'okani,
Please try out this software as a (temporary) solution:
http://home.casema.nl/rgschmidt/WM/Downloads/BT Restart_V_1_1_0_PPC.ARMV4.CAB
This will automatically restart the bluetooth connection after ending a phonecall.
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?

I don't think 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.
