OK.
First off, hello everyone! First time poster, so be nice!
I have already tried to find this on google, on the forums, and in all sorts of other places, but putting in the criteria "bluetooth" and "handset" returned all sorts of crap....
Anyway, I am hopefully soon to be acquiring an XDA Flint / HTC Athena. Which as far as I'm concerned.... is a big phone. One that I'd rather not hold to my head all day.
I do have a bluetooth headset already, but I find that using it has several distinct disadvantages;
When I am shopping on the phone - people think I am talking to myself, and therefore mad
When I am outside, the other party can't hear a word, because of the wind
Add that to the fact that I would like to at least appear a little normal, I decided to see if there was a telephone handset (such as the good 'ol Nokia 3310) with all the innards removed, and had just been converted into a bluetooth "handset" with just a microphone and speaker for me to connect to the HTC.
I have already found something similar - but slightly impractical - in the form of this, of which there is a bluetooth version on the interweb.
Anyway - can anyone help?
Am I bringing up a long forgotten thread about this question that has already been asked?
Many thanks,
success
OK..
I found the solution utterly by accident.
If anyone is interested, I went for (and about just about to collect it from the post office) the LG Style-i bluetooth handset

Hi guys:
I am having some real trouble with talking on the phone on my PDA2k and my ear. Every time I talk on the phone (I talk a lot!!!), I end up with a bunch of applications open because my ear is touching the screen and launching all sorts of things.
The one that is really killing me is when my ear "dials up" another number while I'm on the phone.
I know, there are ways around this via handsfree, but sometimes you gat a call while our Jabra is charging or when your wired headset is in the car or somewhere else.
My obvious question is: is there anyway to lock the screen while you speak, so the touchscreen with the ears will not happen?
Thanks for any advice.

I think you may need new drivers for your ear.
A more expensive option is new ears (not to be mistaken for New years). This option is frowned upon and illegal in most places.
Funny.
I did find a solution in PPC Toys, which locks the screen to the touch. Works great.

27, You just made my xmas! Keep it real bro, soooo funny
I know there are already other threads adressing this problem, but I wonder if there is a solution already to disable the stupid auto-call function when you plug in the headset on the touch Diamond.
The Diamond is a great device, but this is really pissing me off. I even noticed that it's not only the button press which starts a call, but also of you twist the wire a bit.
For me this is a terrible mistake for a device costing about 500 euro's.
I'm sorry if this problem is already solved in another thread, but I didn't find it.
grtz
have you tried looking at the wiki
or searching this proveful more fruitful
I did look around, but I noticed I'm not the only one having this problem, and there are already a lot discussions started on this, but as far as I know, no answer. But it's possible I missed some thread or something.
Nobody read a solution anywhere?

Well, vijay555 wrote VJPoOf, which is supposed to map the headset's button..
try it.
hello everybody,
I have this problem that is driving me ( and my girlfriend, and my family and my clients) completely crazy!
I have a Clarion CZ309E carstereo. It is a wonderful thing with USB, SD, AD2P, Front-AUX and even CD and (yes! Hard to believe! FM-radio!)
But now the bad thing: every call I make using Bluetooth is rendered useless after 4 minutes and 50 seconds. What happens is:
a call is initiated (no matter inbound or outbound)
music drops (CD, USB, A2DP are paused as they should be)
sound of conversation drops after exactly 4 minutes 50 secs
call connection stays (on both sides, all hear this deafening silence....)
manually ending the call will bring back the music and allow for making a new call
. And then it starts all over again.
What have I tried so far:
This happens with a HTC Hero (8 different ROMS in several versions), HTC Desire HD, Samsung SGH-550, Samsung SGH-i320, Samsung SGH-400,
I have (re)installed the radio about 50 times
I have hard-resetted it a hundred times
Read The F*cking Manual ( I can cite it by heart now).
I have paired and re-paired the phones a hundred times
This happens only with calls, music, navigation, listeningbooks go on forever.
Bluetooth earpiece or other devices connected with the phones do not show this behaviour
Been surfing for months now trying to find any information. Nada.
Is there anyone, anyone that can help me? I am very hesitating to bring it back to the shop where I bought it (mediamarkt Hengelo), I have bad experiences with returning stuff....
(I had bought a certain type of carstereo that would die off immediately when connecting a phone to the USB. Even though I could find through the internet that this was happening very very often, they made me bring it in three times, waiting 6 weeks each time to get a new one that would day off the first day anyway. The third time I installed the thing on the parkinglot, connected my phone and brought it in again without even leaving the parkinglot Only then they acknowledged that there was a problem and they offered me this Clarion .
instead. So you understand that my hopes for a solution are not too high)
What do you think the solution to this situation could be?
Thanks for thinking with me!
Henro
Nobody?......
I whispered and the wind blew this message towards you....
Stoopid question or does no-one have a clue?

Sounds like a head unit problem. You say that you can recreate the problem with different roms and different phones. You don't have the problem when using other bluetooth accessories.
I'm guessing no one is responding because no one can think of a way that your phone would be causing this problem.
@digi760,
U are probably right.
I thought it might have to do with a2dp but it happens also with phones that do not have that 'profile'. I am trying to find a common denominator, having no success...
The manufacturer blames the phones..... I am kinda stuck in the middle here....
Grtz Henro

I'm Sharing your pain.
I have the same unit and the same problem. 4.50 mins and it drops out. It does this on a Samsung phone, a Nokia and a Blackberry so the problem must be in the unit.
Will keep chasing the problem. Let you know if I find something.
Jon.
Thanks

Okay so, I have read a couple of threads that somewhat touch base on my issue, however are not specific to my phone so I thought I would drill down to the subject matter in a new thread.
I just got a new SGS2E4GT yesterday as a replacement for my EVO4G. So far I love it, however when I paired it into my vehicle's (2011 Hyundai Elantra) bluetooth system, It connected to phone & media with no problem, but did not download the contact book.
Is there a fix, setting, or something I am missing within the SGS24E4GT?
I guess the thing that is a bit perturbing to me is that my good ol EVO had no issues whatsoever with pairing up.....
So I was scanning eBay for Bluetooth docks, and came across this, " Bluetooth A2DP Music Audio Receiver Adapter for iPhone 4 4S iPod ". Search for it on eBay, without the quotation marks obviously.
Wow, really? I'm not allowed to post a clickable link to eBay??? How about the moderators just do their job and remove spam posts like the moderators on other forums I'm on do, rather than **** up new members ability to post helpful information. Because I'm damn sure not gonna run back out and get my post count up just so I can post a link.
Anyway............................
It's an adapter that sits in an iPod/iPhone dock, and receives audio via Bluetooth! It requires, obviously, a dock that is capable of charging the iPod/iPhone, as it uses that as it's power source. I have a Samsung HW-D7000 Blu-Ray receiver that came with an iPod/iPhone dock, and this will be put to great use now, rather than just sitting in the box in my attic! Hahaha. And at only freakin $16, it's a great deal! I'll come back and let you guys know how well it works as soon as I receive it, and get to test it out.
Also, this opens up out possibilities for buying docks for out phones too! I actually already have a Phillips Fidelio AS140 Android dock, and it is awesome! Has great sound via Bluetooth, and honestly, I prefer being able to play music through a dock without it being required to be sitting in the dock. As I know it's bad on the battery to continually be in a charging status, but also it's very nice to be able to carry the phone around the house in my pocket and control the volume and music being played, rather than awkwardly leaning down to use the phone on the dock.
Holy ****!!! This is absolutely the most aggravating forum to post to that I have ever been on as a new member!
Hahahahahahahahahahaha, oh my dear freakin' god. And I received an "Error" trying to post this also! Gotta wait 5 minutes before I'm allowed to post again. Maybe one day, xda with graciously allow me to offer up help without it being a pain in the ass to do so. I'm not an expert, but I do like to offer help and advice when I'm able to.
Sorry for the rants, I get angry when things don't work like I would like them to. Hahaha.
The restrictions, while aggravating, are there to prevent spam and malware links. Frustrating, but necessary unfortunately.
That's a great find, though. Provided it works (I see no reason it shouldn't) it opens up the previously very limited number of Android capable docks, and makes a Bluetooth solution very affordable.

Yea, I understand why the restrictions would be put into place, but I also take responsibility for my own computer, and what finds its way onto it. Enough of that though.
I will most certainly be relaying how well this works, and any quirks it may have. I did find a Bluetooth receiver that can be used with any stereo with a 3.5mm audio input, and it has about a 3-4 hour battery life. The only issue with it so far, is that it can only be used on battery power. You can't just plug the charger up, and leave it. So basically, you use it until the battery dies, and you must charge it completely, then unplug the charger before you're able to use it again. It's still pretty impressively simple, functional, and easy to use tho.
