I have a Jabra BT3030 stereo bluetooth headset. Set it up with the Aria yesterday, and it's working like a champ now, but not without some hassle.
First my question. I can't seem to figure out how to answer the phone or make calls with this headset. Sometimes the sound is in the headset, sometimes it's in the handset. I can't seem to find the pattern. Before I go run a bunch of tests and try and figure it out, I figured maybe I am doing something wrong so I thought I'd ask. How can I consistently get the sound in the bluetooth headset?
It seems to be a common issue about using a stereo bluetooth headset such as the BT3030 with Android phones, but not commonly answered in the forums. So here's a little FYI. It took about 10 tries to get the headset to be "connected". It discovered it and paired easily, but then just constantly said "disconnected" until about the 10th try. Once it connected once, then it would always connect and reconnect even after phone reboots or power cycling the BT3030. So if you are trying to set one of these up, don't give up on the first try.
After it first became "connected", it would not do anything but phone sound through the headset. It said it was "connected for phone and media" or whatever, but would not play media sounds, and the remote controls didn't work. Once I made a phone call with the headset, it magically started to play media sounds through the headset, but the controls still didn't work. Once I fooled with it for a while, rebooted the phone, on/off the headset, restarted the music app, etc., eventually it started working fully including the controls.
So the answer is, this headset WILL work in stereo for both media and phone sounds as well as full remote control including answering the phone from the remote, but it does take some monkeying with it so don't give up.
