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?

Hi all,
I remember seeing one post in this forum which talks about exec pairing up with my JABRA BT800 automatically during a new call ....
I searched with no gain
could you pls anyone of you point to the right thread or with info pls ?

Come on guys....
does that mean no one using this automatic pairing ?
'm still being postive on this thread
Cheers
I would be amazed if it was true, it would be a huge bluetooth security hole if it was !!! if you can force a headset to pair with out authentication you can force anything to pair !!! are you sure you understood correctly
Don't you mean that the sound was automatically sent to the headset when a call comes in? Automatic pairing is something I have never heard of. I guess the guy paired his headset, so that when a call comes in, he hears it autmatically in his headset. Sounds more logical and feasible to me.
Why would you want to pair automatically anyway? Just pair it in the morning when you wake up, and use it all day till you switch it off. Only thing I can imagine would be battery save, but that would mean that an incoming call would have to activate both the BT on your phone and on your headset. And that is not possible, since without BT connection ( paired) no signals from the phone come to the headset.
ice_coffee -- Though I didn't see the subtle details of the mentioned software i think we'll have to pair with our BT device (proper authentication) which will be saved by the program and these details wud be used as and when incoming call comes ....
Koksie -- ur intuition is correct ....i.e. reason to do this stuff is to save battery.... bluetoooth drains exec very rapidly.....
if none of you all seen that post then i should be dreaming :!:
i'll continue my search and update the thread if i'm successful
Thanks for your inputs guys....
Cheers
Pairing is pairing but turning bluetooth on for an incoming or outgoing call is something else. PockeZenPhone has this option but it doesn't work cause it takes to long to turn on bluetooth and connect the headset before loosing your call.
Oh.. not it make sense. I think what he means is that, you had your headset and phone paired (with code and stuff). However, the headset or phone bluetooth may be off. And once there is a call coming in, it will switch on the headset/bluetooth on phone.
Hi folks
I've got my self a pair of HP Bluetooth headphones (very nice btw!) but every time I want to use them, I have to turn on bluetooth, go into bluetooth devices, press and hold the bluetooth headphones and select "set as wireless stereo".
My question is, is there anyway of getting my phone to automatically pair with my bluetooth headphones? Rather than having to go into the bluetooth settings everytime?
Or even put a shortcut on the today page would be easier enough?
Thanks
I was having the same question, but people sais that it is not a good idea to keep your device recoverable from other devices all the time from security point of view. So, i refused from this idea

I found out that if you create a shortcut (.lnk) with notepad and put this in it:
23#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,23,1
You can get right to the bluetooth devices screen. I haven't seen how to pair something automatically though. hopefully one of the bluetooth guru's here can figure that out.
Thanks Jizzay1
Start -> link -> Tap+hold -> connected
Alot better than comms manager -> bluetooth settings -> devices -> tap+hold -> connected
Maybe someone will find a way to press a link and connect straight away, but this way I can live with in the mean time
Obviously different to bluetooth headsets. I use a Nokia HDW-3 and it connects everytime, my bluetooth is not set to discoverable either
I'm not sure why you guys have to re-pair your headsets. I never have. If bluetooth and the headset are on then I can make calls through it.

I'm having this problem with my STEREO BT headset, and it sounds like mixmasterollie is too, but it seems like the people that don't have this problem are using normal mono headsets. Please correct me if i'm wrong.
I'll have a mono headset to test tomorrow to see if my 8125 will pair with it automatically.
As iunderstood for the phone calls my STEREO headset is pairing automatically, but not for music

I just tried my friend's over the ear plantronics 510 mono headset and it pairs automatically once i turned on bluetooth on my phone and on the headset. My 8125 doesn't say anything on the screen once it's been paired, but it works.
Sounds like i just have to live with manually pairing my IOGEAR stereo headset.
Try playing with the "action" button on the headset. On mine, the volume up button has a dot on it. I turn on the BT, turn on the headset, wait a couple seconds and hit the volume up button twice. It automatically goes into wireless stereo when I do that. Boy, was I happy when I discovered that!
No such luck I'm afraid, my HP BT Headphones don't auto-pair, no matter what buttons I press on the headset
I think wireless stereo and hands free act differently, whereas the hands free ones connect automatically but the headphones only option doesn't.
Shame really!
There seems to be many times when my BT stereo headphones (Sony Ericsson Bluetooth Headset HBH-DS970) are connected functionality-wise to say Pocket Player and I hear music. But the Hands Free portion of the BT is not attached. At such times hitting pause/next track/etc on the HBH-DS970 does nothing. Sometimes powering off the DS970 and back on re-establishes the Hands Free connection.
This makes me wonder, when it's not working, what does Bluetooth say the Hands free is attached to? Is it possible to have the Wireless Stereo hooked into one thing and the Hands free be controlling something else?
Another thing that goes along these lines, and I have no way of fixing it, is that sometimes for some odd reason I just cannot connect my DS970 to my phone to actually make phone calls with. Now I know it works because, well, most of the time it connects and works. But lately, more and more, it doesn't.
When it doesn't the symptoms are, naturally, that I hear nothing in the headphones when making a call and cannot use the mic built into the DS970. But also, while in the call (because the menu pick appears no where else unless your in an active call) selecting Menu will show a grayed out "Turn Hands Free on". When this happens I cannot use my BT headset to make calls no matter what I do.
When this is working then the "Turn Hands Free on" menu pick is not grayed out and I can turn it on.
This leads me to want a BT application that can expose the true internal status of the BT connections and perhaps allow the user to manually override situations that are just plain wrong like the above.
I want to know if there is a feature in bluetooth so that any time I bring my phone into range of the BT device, that it will automatically reconnect, without me having to push any buttons on the phone, or device. I guess this could depend on the device and/or phone, so if someone replies "yeah, this is how my X device connects to my Y phone", then that will answer my question. Of course, this is a Vibrant forum, and I do have a Vibrant phone, so all the better if someone tells me it works on Vibrants.
I am not sure what initiates the connection, but when I start my car my Bluetooth connects automatically with my vibrant.
I have a jawbone headset That I use, if my Bluetooth is enabled, it automatically pairs with it when in range. However, if my headset is in off mode, then obviously it does not do That.

Hmm... then I guess it is a function of the BT device. I am using the blueant speaker phone, and I would really like it if it just automatically connects to my phone each time I get in the car. Right now I have to press a button on the speakerphone each time I get in the car to reconnect.
I've seen weirdness with bluetooth after I've paired more then one device to the phone. T-Mobile support told me the Vibrant simply doesn't support pairing to more then one device (not just active at a time, but more then one paired at all). That sounded like bunk to me, but it sure is how my phone is acting.
I've got a PLT510 headset as well as a LiquidAux stereo adaper in the car and Plantronics 903 BackBeat Headphones. Since the LiquidAux and the 903 both give Media support and the all three devices provide "phone" support the phone seems to get real confused.
Sometimes bluetooth devices auto pair and just work, but it is not uncommon for me to have to force them into pairing mode again and search for them as if they are new devices.
I am hopeful 2.2 improves the bluetooth support.
Interesting. My Blueant speaker phone is the only device with which I have paired my Vibrant, but I have had to reboot my phone a couple of times to make it connect. I would go in my car, hit the connect button on the speaker phone and the speaker phone would report "No phone found", even though the phone was turned on and less than two feet from the speaker phone. Reboot the phone and press the connect button again and what-do-you-know, it works.
I am also hoping that 2.2 gives me some BT improvements. Voice dialing will be very nice, but I hope they fix all the other BT issues that are affecting me.

I have 2 devices paired with my vibrant. My car kit and some Motorola S9HD headphones.
SLIGHTLY off topic, how do you like those headphone ( S9HD) s, looking for a good stereo set for walking and maybe even jogging

They are great. I read lots of horror stories about the original red and black S9's and sweat, but I know there are an ungodly amount of Chinese knockoffs out there and I chalk it up to that. If you buy them retail I don't think you'd have any issues.
Just got my Vibrant yesterday and I was trying to pair it with my Jawbone 1 headset but it's not being recognized by the phone, I've turned them on and off several times but nothing seems to work.
It was working perfectly on my G1 as of yesterday so I know the headset works.
Any suggestions?
I have a Jabra BT3030 stereo bluetooth headset. Set it up with the Aria yesterday, and it's working like a champ now, but not without some hassle.
First my question. I can't seem to figure out how to answer the phone or make calls with this headset. Sometimes the sound is in the headset, sometimes it's in the handset. I can't seem to find the pattern. Before I go run a bunch of tests and try and figure it out, I figured maybe I am doing something wrong so I thought I'd ask. How can I consistently get the sound in the bluetooth headset?
It seems to be a common issue about using a stereo bluetooth headset such as the BT3030 with Android phones, but not commonly answered in the forums. So here's a little FYI. It took about 10 tries to get the headset to be "connected". It discovered it and paired easily, but then just constantly said "disconnected" until about the 10th try. Once it connected once, then it would always connect and reconnect even after phone reboots or power cycling the BT3030. So if you are trying to set one of these up, don't give up on the first try.
After it first became "connected", it would not do anything but phone sound through the headset. It said it was "connected for phone and media" or whatever, but would not play media sounds, and the remote controls didn't work. Once I made a phone call with the headset, it magically started to play media sounds through the headset, but the controls still didn't work. Once I fooled with it for a while, rebooted the phone, on/off the headset, restarted the music app, etc., eventually it started working fully including the controls.
So the answer is, this headset WILL work in stereo for both media and phone sounds as well as full remote control including answering the phone from the remote, but it does take some monkeying with it so don't give up.
