A2DP but no Headset icon or Sound in Headphones

Hello
I am a beginner both with the Kaiser and the A2DP . I have paired my Jabra 8010 BT correct and when I push the menu button I get the voice speed dial page with " no tag selected " so I assume my connection to the Kaiser is okay.
But when I want to use the stereo function for HTC Player or Windows mediaplayer the sound is not switching from the speaker to the headset .
Any idea what settings or steps I need to do to get the sound to the BT headset ?
There is as well no little Headset icon in the tool bar as set in page 176 of the manul .. (see I am reading first !)
Thanks for any help .

Did you pair the Jabra for A2DP? In the Kaiser's BT settings for the device, you should see two services, Hands Free & Wireless Stereo, and both boxes should be checked. If you see only one service, you'll have to re-pair the Jabra; if you see both, but Wireless Stereo isn't checked, check it.

hmm it looks more like a bug or a intended function.
I have both hands free and stereo profile.
When I delete the bluetooth pairing and re-pair it works like it should:
- Headset icon in menu bar
- when media player start the sound is automatic transfered to head set
but now ... when I switch out BT in the coms manager and switch it on again:
- no headset icon appears at all
- no transfer of sound from media player to head set
even the handbook says (page 176) run steps 1-3 of the paring again.
Does this means I need to re-pair mu stereo headset each time I want to have music transfered to the Heatset after switching off BT on the phone ???
That can not be true or ?

confirmed ... looks like before any usage of wireless stereo (after switch off/on BT) I need to go each time into the connection manager, bluetooth settings, left tab on Jabra, select set as stereo ... if this is done the headset Icon appears again in the menu.
I am the only one to whom this looks very complicated to just listen to your podcast ... ?
Why cant the BT profile hold the information that my headset is BT stereo ???

I seem to be having the same problem. Every time I turn on my Bluetooth, and every time I make a phone call, I have to un-check wireless stereo, save, then re-check it in order to listen to music via my Jabra BT8010.
I wish there was a fix for this.

Use A2DP toggle to re-connect from the today screen.

Bluetooth Headset & Audio

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.
Cheers

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.

Headset & speaker

Hello. I have an issue and i dont really know if this is possible! I want to have bluetooyh headset connected and be able to hear from the build in speaker. Is there anyway to do this? I have boca rc1 if this helps. Thanks in advance!

What do you want to hear? Music? Phone? Ringtones/Notifications? All should be possible...
For phone just untick the bluetooth while a call is active. For music, if bt headset is used by default, go to bt settings and unselect media option for your headset.

Bluetooth Audio Crackling

Hey guys, I've recently bought an Honor Play, really happy with the device but just got a pair of bluetooth headphones, Mixcder E7
the bluetooth audio quality is really bad and it crackles, I've tried changing the codec from the developer settings but it appears these headphones only support SBC
I doubt the codec is the reason why the audio is crackling though, does anybody have any suggestion?
(it sounds perfectly fine using the headphone jack)
Thanks in advance
Alex

I would try changing any settings you can on the headphones and see what happens. For example, my headphones offer a choice of Bluetooth standards; the ability to favour sound quality over stability etc. Additionally, see if this happens away from sources of 2.4ghz noise such as microwaves. Don't surf at the same time, or try and use 5ghz WiFi.

Are you already try to pair that headphone to other device to check the sound? I'm have a bluetooth earphone and the output sound is normal on my Honor Play ?

Try to unpair and pairing again or try to reset network settings.
Go to Settings > System > Reset
Click on Reset Network settings
Confirm Reset Settings

Bluetooth earphone not recognised

I've got a set of Audiofly Bluetooth headphones that work fine but I note that when I go to the choose headphones type under sound settings I can't seem to choose anything, they are all greyed out. Any ideas how to fix?
