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!

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!
I have a Tilt and the 510 Voyager headset. I'm wondering if there's a way to do the following two things:
1. When the headset is turned on and connected to the phone is there a way that I can make it so that I can still talk on the phone? It seems like when the headset is turned on that the microphone and sound is muted on the phone, so you have to use the headset.
I want to be able to use either the phone or the headset at the same time.
2. If I walk out of range of the headset while it is turned on, then walk back in range, can I set it so that the headset will automatically reconnect?
1. You can switch from the headset to the phone during a call. It is one of the options on the "call screen". I don't believe you can set it to default, but you can just turn off bluetooth if you want the default headset to be the phone.
2. The headset should automatically reconnect when brought back in range. Try pushing the "pick up" button on the headset. It should automatically re-pair in a second or two.

OK this is a bit convoluted so please bare with me:
I have a motorola T605 installed, but do not have it hooked up to my car stereo. I use a 3.5mm cable from my Note 3 to my car stereo, and the T605 just for phone calls, BUT I do use the controls on the T605 to skip tracks.
The problem I have is it works great, until I make or receive a phone call, then the Bluetooth AVRCP profiles cease to work, and the volume keys, which were being used to skip tracks before the call, now only adjust the phone volume, and the T605 itself blinks Blue (indicating phone profile connected) instead of flashing yellow (indicating phone and media profiles connected) as it was before the phone call.
Once it happens the only way to restore it is to shut off the bluetooth car kit (ie turn my car off). Powering the bluetooth on the phone off/on does nothing, as when it reconnects it still only have the phone functionality.
When I look at the setting>Bluetooth menu on the Note, both before and after a call, it always says that both Phone and Media profiles are active and connected.
For the record I am using X-Note ROM.
Any suggestion? Thanks in advance everyone.

Ok so the moto T605 is connected via bluetooth, and under bluetooth settings both phone and media are checked correct? BUT your sending the media via 3.5mm jack. I hope I read what you wrote right. If I did, I think you need to UNcheck the media box in bluetooth settings and just have phone connected. This way the music will play via 3.5mm until the phone rings. Then it will mute the 3.5mm and you'll hear the phone call over bluetooth connection. Also since the T605 is still connected via bluetooth it should still change your tracks.
Try that or tell me I read the whole post wrong and we'll try a different scenario. lol
I think you misunderstand. The audio is playing fine out of the 3.5mm jack. My goal is to keep the AVRCP connected so I can use hte button on the bluetooth car kit to control the audio player functionality of note 3 when not on a call.
I upgraded to the Moto-X for the touchless controls as I commute to work and back on my motorbike and I was really unsatisfied with alternatives floating around to simulate touchless control.
Now when I am in my car and using my bluetooth headset the voice control works just fine, I can navigate, call and send quick messages no problem
But on my bike I use a Viper RSv-131 helmet which has bluetooth built in and I listen to local radio or music whilst I'm riding but my Moto-X does not respond when I cay Ok Google now or when I press the button on my helmet either I can answer incoming calls fine but thats it.
Does anyone else use a Moto-X on a motorcycle/motorbike or even a regular bicycle with bluetooth and do you have similar problems?
Have you tried Google>Settings>Voice>Bluetooth headset

Thanks Etcetra, I have bluetooth headset option turned on and it works using my BT headset in the car.
My gut reaction is my car headset is a regular over the ear BT headset but my helmet is like BT stereo headphones with a microphone and so I think it's a different kind of BT but I'm not an expert.
Any advice would be welcome
Check to see which profiles are connected on each device by going into Bluetooth settings and tapping the little settings icon next to the connection.
My helmet comes up as BLINK II and is ticked for phone and media audio

That's unfortunate as it suggests an incompatibility issue between the two. It should certainly work using the phone profile.
Check with the helmet maker... maybe they have a firmware update available.
Turned off media audio and just tried phone audio but still the same: (
