stereo headset transfers ring to headset, phone doesn't ring

[tsabar]

I have the i-mate JASJAM (i.e. Hermes) which has A2DP. I bought the Jabra BT8010 stereo headset with headset profile and stereo profile. When I pair the two, every sound from the phone automatically gets transferred to the headset, which means the phone doesn't ring because the ringtone is also transferred. If I don't have the headset on I don't hear the phone ring.

I spoke to Jabra, they said I have to configure the phone somehow because the headset "just accepts whatever the phone sends".

Any ideas?

hey, same problem here

i have tried a few A2DP headsets(from other manufacturers)and with all of them the ring is streamed to the headset!

can any one help?

Are you kidding me? that's just one of the best things. How else do you know when you have a call when listening music? And why leave the headset paired when you don't use it? if you don't listen to music don't switch on the headset.

I don't always have my headset on my ear, I want the phone to ring. If the headset is disconnected, the phone doesn't always transfer an existing call to the headset if I turn on the headset only after the call has started.

So, I want to know if there is a way not to transfer the call ring (and all other device sound besides the call itself) to the headset...

hi Tsabar

Is the duration of your ringtone set to max?

My ameo rings over BT via my sony BT headphones and then rings half way thru via the phone's loud speaker

I would also like to know how to make the phone ring when the head set is plugged in.

I don't always have the headset in my ears but still want to hear the phone ring. There must be a setting to allow this somewhere.

Any ideas?

using a htc mozart .. my bt head set picks up all sound, not only music and convo.. so i dont hear if someone calls me unless i wear my headset in my office at all times or turn it off with the need to turn it on (waiting forsync) whenever someone calls me...
thats absolutely stupid, who is the numbwit at Microsoft that got that idea?

actually the sounds (and lack of profiles realy need some work) im using this phone as a 3g business phone including mail, and evrything else..
now im also using the alarm feature but guess what you cannot make it "alarm only" you have to accept all the stupid notification sounds if you want to hear the sound of the alarm.. or like me disable the notifications from t.ex mails to avoi being woken up at night from that.. its so lame.
i can see that a low of features could be refactored on modern dauy phones.. but the win 7 mobile realy disnt do the job (yet).. i would rather wait for office support if i could have profiles..
another realy lousy thing is that you have to buy office 2010 including outlook to sync contacts ..older versions DONT work
