Hi,

i am sure this has been asked before already ... but anyway, can not hurt to ask again for it smile.png

On incoming calls, try to connect to Headset when it's not connected. The headset will ring by itself and when the headset is connected the call is picked up as well. If i disconnect via headset, the call is hung up as well.

I experienced the same problem with Public Mind. I submitted six different suggestions but none has appeared on the website.

I was having problems with this as well. It seems like the way Windows XP handles bluetooth audio is have it take over all audio functions. I run into conflicts when I connect/disconnect my bluetooth headset and certain audio applications are already running, such as MusicMatch, Windows Media, and Skype. I figured out one way was to close the applications, connect my bluetooth headset, then restart the applications.

After some testing, I found that in Skype, under Options, there is a section called Hand/Headset where you can specify the audio source/channel for each particular function (ringing, audio out/in). Once I set the ringing to my PC speakers and the audio out/in to bluetooth audio, I was able to connect and disconnect my bluetooth headset and still have the audio in skype work flawlessly. This had the added benefit of keeping my music playing on my PC speakers.

Good luck! Hopes this works for you guys, and continues to work for me.

What bluetooth headset are you using?

I've tried the Logitech Bluetooth Headset which works flawlessly. And recently, I got the Sony Ericsson Akono HBH-600, which works, but has some sort of bluetooth signal interference which prevents it from being "connected" to my desktop at the same time as my iPAQ (for synching purposes, unfortunately HP still hasn't provided a bluetooth headset profile).[/url]
