I have a Sennheiser VMX 100 bluetooth headset and paired it to my htc dream. When the headset is already connected to my phone and a call comes in, it's automatically transferred to my headset, which is great. But when I try to make a call myself, I just can't get it transferred to my headset. I tried to press Menu during the call, and selecting bluetooth from the menu but that doesn't do anything.
Also, when a call comes in but my headset is not connected (phone has bluetooth turned on, though), and I turn on my headset, the phone won't connect to my headset until after the call has been finished.
Besides my HTC dream I also have a Nokia N95. My headset works without any problem on the nokia, I can even connect my headset in the middle of the conversation and it will automatically take over.
I'm not sure what features android has when it comes to bluetooth headsets, but I assume that outgoing calls and auto-connect during a call are implemented features. I'm running Android 1.6.
Does anyone else recognize these issues? Do these features work with other headsets?
Thanks,
Pepe
Try the following steps:
1. Menu > Settings > Wireless controls > Bluetooth Settings
2. Under Bluetooth devices select and hold your Sennheiser; 3 choices will show up (Disconnect, Disconnect & Unpair, Options)
3. Select Options
4. Connect (if unchecked)
5. Under Profiles make sure Phone (connected to phone audio) is checked
Let me know if this helps
Hi mate,
Thanks for the reply. I checked those settings and Phone audio is already checked. Unchecking and rechecking the box does not make a difference.
Thanks
What ROM are you running?
VMX 100 Issues
I'm having the same issue. I'm running CyanogenMod 4.2.9.1. I have several Plantronics that work flawlessly. Any ideas would be appreciated. I've tried power cycling both devices.

Hi,
I use my iMate Startrek with a set of a2dp headphones (the iMuffs), and I have to manually tell the phone to connect to the iMuffs using a2dp through the "Set as wireless stereo" option in the settings, can this be done automatically?
Another thing is that if I get a call while listening to music, the microphone on the headset doesnt work very well, and I have to shout for the person to hear me. I think that the mic in the headset is not being used. Has anybody had this problem and solved it?
Does anyone know if there are some registry settings that need to be tweaked to get these problems solved?
Thanks a lot.
I use an itech s38 and doesn't have a problem with the mic.
I do have problems with automatic connections.
after setting up properly, if the headset gets disconnected,
the next time it reconnects by itself is always on the headset profile
and mostly only connects if i make a call
So even when no indicator is shown I would assume that seconds
before ther call is answered the sound would be transfered to the headset
that's not so much of a problem
what really sickens me is that if i wanted to
listen to music via the headset when headset profile is connected
i would have to
1.hit the stick once to go to comm manager
2.hit "2" to turn off BT
3.exit to make sure action is done
4.hit center to go to comm manager again
5.hit "2" turn it on (making sure it doesn'ty connects to headset profile first)
6.hit Settings to go to BT settings (hit one or enter to getto that's two presses)
4.hit menu
5.hit devices
6.hit menu
7.hit set as wireless stereo
8.hit done
9.hit done again
10.hit exit
11.hit start
12.hit windows media
13.mess another big while in windows media playlists
..........
now that's too much ... many places i could use the home button
to exit quickly .. that's not what's frustating
what i need actually is a shortcut to the BT devices page
and a smarter profile to connect to wireless stereo for me
without having to turn off headset profile first
I am using HP Stereo Bluetooth headset with my QTEK 8500. It works fine besides the reconnection. If I turn the headset off in order to reconnect I have to go to the BT settings and set the headset to Stereo Headset again. I beleive your problem ocurs because your headset is also a handsfree headset, which HP is not.
I do beleive this behaviour is by design. Although I do not seen to understand the logic behind it.
Good day.
In my car I have a bluetooth handsfree kit (Sony Ericsson HCB-400) with microphone and conversation through car stereo. It says in the instruction manual for the HCB-400 it supports both handsfree profile and headset profile.
Does this mean I can use the handsfree system to broadcast music over the car speakers through bluetooth?
In that case, how am I able to change the connection profile for the HCB-400 on my phone? Only option I get is "use for phone audio", wich is checked. Didn't do any difference.
Any ideas?
Not sure if it helps, but just pairded the Hero today with my newly purchased Bluetooth Car stereo...
After pairing etc. On starting Bluetooth on Hero, it automatically connects to stero and plays tunes etc. (provided I swtich to the correct Source on the Stereo). If I then try and make a call from the Hero, the Stereo automatically changes mode and works in Phone Mode. On ending the call it goes back to audeo mode.
So in principle, it can be handled seamlessly, but can't say for your own instance.
Easiest option is to just try it and see what happens...

Zuber:
Thank you for the reply!
I understand that you have a car stereo with integrated BT handsfree? In my case, a handsfree kit is mounted on top of the original stereo in my -03 Nissan Micra. Do you have any more options than I do if you long-press the actual BT connection in settings?
Hi,
Yes the stereo itself has bluetooth support...
On the Hero, if I go to bluetooth settings and Long Tap on the actual device connection itself, then I get to a screen that shows both audio and phone profiles with seperate selectable tick boxes.
Both were already ticked...

it has been discussed before but I still can't get it.
I do have sound via bluetooth in my car when answering a call or initiating a new one.
but I can't hear anything from the phone applications like navigation or musicplayer.
how can I change that?
It has nothing to do with the bluetooth kit in my car as a blackberry worked seamlessly with playing music via BT. Even my old HP ipaq 514 also made sound announcements through BT.
Any settings to adjust?
You must change a bluetooth-setting.
- Comm Manager
- Settings (right button)
- 2 Bluetooth
- 1 Bluetooth
- select your BT car-stereo from the list (don't click)
- Menu (right button)
- 4 ... wireless stereo ... (don't know the English name, in Dutch "Als draadloos stereo instellen")
In my experience, each time you reconnect the device, you have to do this again because it automatically resets to the handsfree setting.
thanks! sounds promising.
but it doesn#t work as expected. the phone is either a BT headset or a BT stereo. not booth at once. hmmm not sooo good
Ok but this will only work if the car supports A2DP, correct? Because I have a BMW and when it is connected that option is not there. The BMW bluetooth module supports just headset profile.
But if I use a normal bluetooth headset I can actually get regular audio out of it some times. The car strictly works with phone calls. Perhaps sometimes audio is sent to it but ignored, I mean it can transfer phone numbers (dial in car screen), phone book so of course it should know how to tell if it is in a call or not?
the features you describe are part of the rSAP bluetooth profile, where actually the car is the phone and only borrows its identity from the phone. totally different story.
so if you do a call actually the car holds the connection to the network. Your phone is only involved as kind of remote sim-card reader.
I thought this was fixed in JB, but I guess not.
I've got my GS4 paired with both the car and my Jawbra headset. All works fine in either scenario, but occasionally I'm on a call using my car BT and want to switch to my headset, or visa verse. Isn't there a way to just click a button/option in phone and switch the device? Anyone found an App for that (I've been searching for hours).
I'm hoping that I'm just missing something, but I've been trying to Google and search these forums to no avail.
I can't try it but what can't you just press the headset button in the midcall menu?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That sounds like a great idea, I would love it if it worked that way. But the phone get's itself "paired and connected" to the car, and it is not connected to the Jawbone. The only thing I found to change it during the call is to turn off bluetooth, which forces a pickup on the handset. I suppoose I could try to turn BT back on, and get it to connect to the Jawbone, but that's no practical while driving and trying to pay attention to a phone conversation.
A simple pop-up with "connect to Jawbone" or "connect to car" would be nice during the call.
If you just want to you your headset to take calls and your car bt for audio, try deselecting "phone" in your bt device options on the phone.
Also I think this issue is more with the Samsung phone then with Android. My Nexus 4 was able to do just this and also allow me to take calls on my bt headset while my phone was plugged into the aux jack in my car.
After a successful bluetooth connection (Audi Q8), the call sound is not from the car by default, but I always have to manually switch it to blueooth in call settings on ZF9. Even if I select the bluetooth sound on the phone during the first call, I have to do it again during the next phone call. It also happens when I make a call through the car display.
I tried pairing again several times, changing the bluetooth name of the phone and car, unsuccessfully. The problem persists and it is quite bad.
Does anyone have a similar issue? Or an idea for a solution?
Thx
