WM6.5 and BT HS behavior

[Delta_flyer]

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find it by searching.

I very much like WM6.5, however, as many different versions as I've flashed, the common denominator for me is my BT headsets don't behave the same way as with WM6.1. Meaning, they pair fine, but when connected and a call comes in, the ring tone doesn't play thru the HS but thru the phone's speaker. The HS plays a generic tone. If a call is accepted via the HS, the caller can be communicated with via the HS. If a call is accepted via the handset with the HS connected, only the handset can be used for communication.

I've tried using my standard BlueAnt Z9i, Plantronics B110, and Jabra 840. All 3 behave in the same manner. Is there something I'm missing?

This is awesome. I have the BlueAnt Z9i with WM6.1. The way you described the behavior in WM6.5 is EXACTLY what I think it SHOULD do. I never have my headset in my ear unless I'm on the phone, so I hate the fact that it ONLY rings in the headset when I'm not wearing it.

It would be nice if this were configurable through some kind of settings, but I haven't found a way to adjust it. Looks like its time for me to find a nice 6.5 ROM.

I know what you mean as well as I have the same blue ant and the new Q1 and it seems like the auto a2dp is off. There is a software that will porce it on but it kills the BT HS bat.

I could live with part of this feature, the ringing of the handset. But I can't live with the problem of answering on the handset and not being able to use the BT HS.

I've since discovered the wanted behavior is a feature of MSVC. After upgrading to v1.6.19209, I now have all I want with the exception of initiating voice calls from the HS. Pressing the button only opens the audio gateway and doesn't initiate the MSVC prompt. Calls and calendar reminders are announced as wanted.

Has anyone been able to solve this little annoyance?
