I have searched and cant find any general way to switch a phone call on my BT handsfree back to my Tilt handset. For instance, if I try to leave my car after starting a call on my BT handsfree, I have to end the call and redial it away from the car. I wonder if anyone knows a way to toggle the BT signal back to the phone handset so that it no longer plays through the car system. but do not disconnect the call. Thanks very much!

See this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321115 , post #4, for a small add-in to the phone menu that allows you to toggle bluetooth on and off while in a call. I've seen the website where this comes from, but can't remember or find it right now.
When in a call, goto Menu, there is an option to "Turn Hands-free Off".
Buy a decent carkit with this function. I have a bluetouch carkit and it has a button for private calls. So i can switch between the phone and the carkit.

Thats what I do!
Did you not notice it in the menu during a call?
Thanks very much
I appreciate the help - I am stuck with an internal BT system in my car that is vintage 2001 and has little flexibility - if I install a new unit, I loose teh system integration that was standard on the car.
I have searched and did not find the simple solution you all suggested - I am embarrassed that I missed the "turn-off hands free" option in Menu!! I will try this - hopefully it does not disconnect the call.
Thanks very much and happy holidays!

Hi folks,
I've successfully paired the Kaiser with a Blaupunkt car stereo, but my issue is that if I want to use it as a Bluetooth stereo, I have to delete the coupling and re-pair it every time I get into the car. Is there any way around this?
Cheers.
I have this problem with my Motorola Ht820 Headphones. I found that a solution for me is to leave my bluetooth ON. It must delete the settings when you turn bluetooth off or something.
Give it a go and let us know if that works. I know it's not the best way round it, but I've come to terms with it owning a Kaiser
EDIT: I think you can even turn off the phone, as long as you leave your Bluetooth ON, your Kaiser should re-sync OK without haveing to Re-pair.

As far as I can tell, the basic 'hands free' function is maintained when I reset either the phone or the car stereo, but the 'wireless stereo' function does not. This means that it activates when I make/receive a call, but not when I launch TomTom or Audio Manager. It's pretty inconvenient, eh?

Strange.... My Motorola headset retains it's wireless stereo function, as long as I keep bluetooth turned on...
Go into the bluetooth settings, do a right click (long hold tap), and "make this my wireless stereo" or something like that. Works everytime for me with my car stereo.
Is there an app that will allow you to choose between the device or a hands free Bluetooth headset?
One of my favorite features of the iPhone is that when you are paired up with a Bluetooth device, and you receive an incoming call, you can choose to answer the call with the handset instead of the Bluetooth device. I would LOVE to have that functionality on my Kaiser.
Thanks,
Luke
huh?
when you push the answer button on your headset it uses it. when you press answer on your phne it uses the phone...
at least that is what mine does.

Same here.
When I have it paired to my car that's not the case. If bluetooth is on around my car, (Range Rover) and I use the answer buttons on the phone, the car system still gets the call, not the handset. I have to turn bluetooth off to get the call on the handset.

SwiftBL WWE 16mb v6.5
I have an 'iqua' fairly cheap bog standard bluetooth headset.
When I make a call with the headset connected it works fine. When I recieve a call, the ringing comes through the headset, but when I answer the call its coming through the speaker on the phone and not the headset. I have to hit options then hands free to get it working.
Very annoying when I'm driving because Tom Tom flashes back up before I even get the chance to enable the hands free...
Tried panosha's rom as well, same thing happens..
Anyone know an app or registry edit which will solve this problem?
Thanks in advance!
Bump. Should I just buy a different bluetooth ear piece?

I think yes. I have a Motorola bluetooth handsfree and it doesn't have this issue.
I have the same issue with my Jabra headset, a solution would be nice.
I'm having the same problem with a Sony headset.
You synchronize the headset and suspend the device. Once an incoming call arrives, the device wakes up, the headset rings (so it's working) but once you accept the call, it won't transmit the sound using the headset, you need to do it manually.
this sounds like a configuration/software problem, anyone has ideas, Please ?
with my jabra BT125 headset, if i press "answer call" on the phone, I'd have to go through menu and select handsfree. If I answer the call by pressing the button on my headset, then it routes to the headset. Have you try answering the call by pressing whichever button on your headset?

Yes i press the hardware button on my headset to answer it (which works). But it still doesn't enable the handsfree. Could this be related to the cyberon voice command ?
Hi,
I have a Blue-tooth hands-free set in my car.
Often I need to walk away from my car during a phone call.
It also happens that I am outside the car, a few yards/meters away from it when I make or get a call. when this happens the audio goes to the BT headset, but I can't hear it or be heard because I'm not near it.
So how can I make an ongoing call move from the BT headset back to my phone?
It has to be done from the phone only. No pressing buttons on the headset itself etc. (as I explained, I might be far from the headset and the car may be locked, etc.)
ThanX in advance!
