I just got myself a new bluetooth headset (Jabra 8040). This model allow stereo music streaming as well. The problem i face is that once i pair the bluetooth, the ring tone and sms tones goes direct to my headset and does not ring on the pda as it normally would.
My question....is there a software that allows me to decide if i want it for handfree or for listening to music. I know i can do this via the settings in bluetooth but that is just too many steps.
I'm not sure if what i ask above is understandable cos i honestly cannot figure out how else to ask this question. Any pointers would be great. Thanks
When you pair you should get the option for headset and audio streaming.
Just select audio stream and it shouldn't send the phone calls to the headset.

That's the thing....when i select audio streaming, both music and ringtone & sms tone goes to the headset. If i select handsfree, then it works like a normal bluetooth handsfree but i don't have the option to use it for audio anymore.
I'm hoping to have a program or something to select or enable audio when i want to listen to music & then disable it and use it for handsfree when i don't want music.
If you go to Settings > Connnections > Bluetooth you should see the profile for the device. Click on it to edit and you will see two options, One for "Wireless Stereo" and one for "Headset". Make sure only the "Wireless Stereo" is checked and then click Save. This should do what you want, but I have never actually tried it myself. If it does not work, it may be the device you are pairing (some seem to work better then others). May someone who has tried this with another model can confirm it works correctly.
The part I am not sure about is where the sounds will go. So in the mode, music should go to the headphones, but what about alarm reminders, or along the same lines, the ringtone. I am not sure. I think there will still be some sounds that go to the phone speaker and I think the BT Audio CAB in the Latest CABS sticky can be used to toggle this, but there is little info about it in the post. If you are interested in using it, you may want to search and see if you can find more info.

Totally correct, adding to this, when you select 'Wireless stereo' It routes all sounds that would normally come out of the main speaker to the headphones (rings and notifications) audio in a call is either internal or external earpiece under 'Hands Free'. It does this so that when just listening to music, you do not miss a call or message!
If you only want music, put the phone into flight mode (nothing at all) or go to sounds and notifications and have all your incoming (calls & messages) set to vibrate only.
Hope this helps also.

How above the performance of Jabra 8040? Any sound skipping?
Thanx for the reply guys. That is what i want. Currently YES i'm able to toggle between using the bluetooth as a handsfree or for music via the settings->edit. I'm just wondering if there is a simple way like via a software which i can just tick and untick to either enable handsfree or music?
The Jabra 8040 is good. I like it and no i don't get any sort of skipping while listening to music. I would recommend this unless of course u are a hardcore music person. I'm not....it's only for once in a while sort of thing.
I'm trying to find an app, widget, or whatever that will completely disable the speaker on my T-Mobile G2 if a headset or BT is active.
Currently, ringtones and notifications come through the headset AND the speaker at the same time, only media comes through just the headset. If a headset is plugged in or BT enabled, I think that the speaker should be OFF. (WinMo has always done this. -- I just discovered this "feature" about Android while trying to adjust some ringtones while on an airplane with my headset plugged in - very embarrassing...)
Any and all suggestions would be welcome.
I've looked at several volume control apps, but few seem to support this feature. I tried Advanced Audio Manager that does have profiles for headphone and BT, but they either don't work on my G2 or just disable ringtones completely.
Hello as I own galaxy tab with two bluetooth headsets which are motorola s9-HD and nokia bh-609.
Now when I connect nokia one I can only hear voice calls thru headset no music n all and reverse is with motorola.
Is there any way from which I can divert all media to bluetooth headset.
Also bh-609 supports battery status monitor can someone post a software in which one can use full functions of Bh-609 in android.
Does anyone know of a reliable Bluetooth Audio App? i tried (what seems to be the only one on the market) Bluetooth Audio widget app and it does the trick... it transfers all the sound like music, gps directions and phone call to my jawbone. The application itself crashes all the time and the widget it self is non responsive sometimes and you have to remove it and add it again.
I'm not sure what you mean. I have a stereo bluetooth headset for running and such and all I do is enable bluetooth on my phone and turn on the headset (it was one I got on new egg by motorola and will take calls as well). Anyways it automatically transfers audio after that to the headset only. I assume this is the way out normally is for any headset.
Hi,
I am using Jabra Sport earphones together with my Droid 4. Music gets streamed, but no system notifications. My music will get muted on my earphones, while the system notifications (of new messages, email etc) is played from my phone, and then the music resumes on my earphones again.
Am wondering if this is specific to Droid 4, do you have any issues with your bluetooth headsets, or is it a problem with Jabra. Or is there a setting I need to configure on my Droid 4 to play all sounds through bluetooth?
Thank you!
