Answer without using bluetooth device

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.

Need Help for Bluetooth headset

Hello,
i have the same prop like many other Leo Owners. I set Audio over Bluetooth, first time it works, after shut down the sound comes via the Phonespeaker no more chance anymore to change it. Except after hardreset but than the same, it works so long you dont shut down the phone.
Same Prop with Voice Command, Cyberon, Vito the sound goes over the Systemspeaker, i had read all Threads no solution works.
I have the origin newest Vodafone German Rom 1.66 are there any knowing reghacks to fix it.
Thank's a lot Ingo

Have you tried going to the settings > Bluetooth and activate stereo audio there?
When you first link your bluetooth headset and your phone, it automatically connects both, but after you power down either bluetooth connection or the headset, you have to manually connect the stereo autio.

re
i have only a point where i can set play systemsounds on the bluetooth device or remote device and this is always activated.

The same with this post:

Maybe?
I didn't made any test!!!
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway]
"BTAGExtModule"="OEMAGW.dll"
"Capability"=dword:65
"ConnectHFOnCall"=dword:1
Used this CAB, now the button is working. Only one step is missing

Weird issue with MW600 headset and x10

Whenever i use the MW600 to anwer calls , ppl complain that when they say something they can hear themselves echoing what they said. Anyone with this headset has the same issue or know how to fix it?

Turn the volume down on it then.. Pretty simple fix.

thanx for the suggestion, but turning down volume when using it in car doesn't work, it seems that when you use headset the phones mic doesn't turn off so it picks up the car speakers and that's why people hear themselves echoing

The MW600 isn't made for Car Use... So the issue can be normal!

I've noticed that my MW600 doesn't always sync to Phone and Media audio, sometimes just to Media - which will probably mean that the Mic on the phone is still open, hence the problem you describe.
I've worked out that the way to avoid this is to connect to the phone the following way:
1) Enable Bluetooth on phone
2) Turn on MW600
3) Check in BT setting that both Phone and Media audio are connected and that the headphone symbol is displayed.
I find that if I turn on the MW then activate BT on the phone, they just don't connect properly...
I use mine in the car on a regular basis and find it superb, and have had no complaints

thanx for this tip I'm going to try it, I hope it fixes the echoing

Bluetooth Head Set Is Not Working On All Rom's?!

hello guys ..
after flashing so many rom's i have tried to connect my bluetooth headset .. but can't hear the phone calls and the music as well the bluetooth head phones is working on the htc desire official rom and its not working on my samsung galaxy s rooted.. Any Ideas?

did you pair the headset to the phone?

I have been using bluetooth first day I had the phone and never had any problem. Well...1 slight problem. The bluetooth will drop the connection sometimes during the day, and I have to manually pair them again when that happens. This is quite irritating though as I usually found out when someone called and I cannot answer using the headset. I take all calls using the headset BTW. I am using the SE DS980 headset.

When you go to the bluetooth settings, click-hold your bluetooth headset until the context menu pop-up, select options. Do you see a tick on the "Phone"?

then try another ROM if you used a custom rom

I use a bluetooth stereo headset for when i go jogging, no problems. Is your headset a certified headset? (not samsung certified, but Bluetooth certified) Does it support V2 +? If not then its not compatible as the SGS supports from bluetooth 2 to 3

I have an HTC 10, also on 6.0.1, and I have the exact same issue. I've tried safe mode, but it didn't make a difference. I found an old post about a similar issue that blamed Ok Google voice settings, but that didn't help either. Something had to have updated to cause this suddenly, but I can't figure it out! This can't be a coincidence.
