Is it possible to pair 2 cellphones and use only one headset?

Hi,
I have this dumb question If I have 2 cellphones, can they anyhow be paired via bluetooth so I can use one of them as the "main headset"? I mean we can use bluetooth to pair a phone to a "stereo headset", so why cant I make a phone act as a stereo headset?
It might be useless for somepeople but for people carrying 2 phones, they can leave one lying around and just carry one in which to receive the main calls and also use it as a bluetooth headset for the other phone.
Any ideas if its possible and if so why hasnt it be done already?
Thanks!

can you pair 2 phones so that you are sharing internet from one phone to another over bluetooth?

anyone has any input?

If I understand correctly, it sounds like you want a Bluetooth device that pairs with multiple phones? If so, there are products on the market that do just that.
If not, perhaps you could rephrase the question...

3.5mm Male to Male w/ Mic

Anyone bought one before for use w/ the Eris? Looking to use this for audio to home stereo or car aux input but also not have to unplug it to use the phone. This way I can use it as hands free in the car. I've found this one for $10.99

and this one for $9.99
http://www.thinksamsungcaptivate.com/samsung-captivate-wired-headsets-10329.html
but it says it's for the Samsung Captivate.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Cool find. Exactly what I have been looking for. I haven't used it or known anyone that has, but I'm probably going to buy it just to try it out. I'll report back with findings unless someone beats me to it.

I personally use a standard line (no mic) keep the phone on my lap and am able to have conversations as if I am wearing a blue tooth headset. Although if this is for your car stereo you do have to take into consideration of the stereo volume cause the conversation can echo back to the person that you are talking to

For some reason that doesn't work for me. I tried it but have to unplug the cord to talk. I can hear them just fine but they can't hear me (no music on either) That's why I started looking for this. I wonder if it's a setting on the phone somewhere...

Assuming that you didnt hit the mute button on the phone, there may be other factors that are giving people on the other end problems hearing you.
a) is your phone rooted? if so, what rom are you using?
Check with the dev who created the rom. Could be possible that you have a older rom version. One of the last updates that VZW pushed out to the eris was for the "sound bug" If you are using a older rom, it could be a possibility that the update was not "cooked" in cause of the date of the ROM. You will see more DEVs stating in their ROM descriptions that is has the recent updates. Using one of thoser ROM may fix that.
b) if your phone is not rooted then is all the updates installed? You can check by doing the following
menu - settings - about phone - system updates
c) depending on where your phone is placed, (ie my lap), seat belts, clothes or some thign else is blocking the phones microphone.
d )slim chance but any chance that the people who can not hear you are only eris users them selves? If yes then see a) and b)

I just use the phone itself as the microphone and the audio routes over the stereo. But of course we don't have laws against talking on the phone here.

Wow, nobody posts in this particular forum. Well, I was just thinking about this type of product today, and seeing it on the forum, I had to buy it.

I know this is an old post, but...
When I try that the other person can't hear me. Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

TazzFroyo. Haven't tried it since the last update though, so I will have to try it again...

Navigation turn by turn voice to bluetooth?

I tried to use google navigation with my Jawbone bluetooth headset and the voice of the lady that gives you turn by turn directions are coming out of the phone speaker, not through my headset.
is there a setting I'm missing to get it to come through the headset instead of the phone speaker?
I checked in the google navigation and found nothing, nor in the settings > wireless & network > bluetooth...
Thanks in advance.

can anyone help me out with this?
thanks.

oh... well that's not very convenient...
that also explains why music don't go to my headset either... huh.
you know, actually, that's kind of stupid now I think about it.
who the heck at HTC decide on that? I mean, who drives with a stereo bluetooth headset on? it's illegal!
speaker on our phones aren't that loud to begin with. having the turn by turn direction come trough on the headset would have been beneficial...
go figure.
I hope they add an option so this is possible on the update(if we ever get it).
anyway, thank you very much for the info.

yeah, I just realized that...
stupid if you ask me. who the heck drives around with a stereo headset...
I mean sure, I guess it's fine to work with a handsfree carkit and/or patched through your bluetooth enabled car stereo but if you have your window down while driving, it's still hard to hear.
they need to come up with an option on the phone setting for either stereo or mono bluetooth connectivity.

Well thats not actually true. Make sure your next Bluetooth has Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP). It doesnt have to be stereo, it can be monural, mine is. All of mine are actually.‎ If it has A2DP it it will say it on the box. A lot of jawbones have that feature but i've noticed it buggy with the sensation. When a headset has A2DP, when it connects to the phone it connects as phone audio and media audio. With the sensation for me, on multiple jawbones (jawbone and jambox) it only connects both audio sources when it initially pairs. The next time it connects it only connects as phone audio. I have to unpair the jawbone then pair it again and media audio will work. I've updated the firmware on both of my jawbones and it didn't help. Maybe a fix is comin, who knows. Doesnt look like TmoUS is gonna get one any time soon
OP What model jawbone do you have? If it has A2DP then unpair it and re-pair it, it should work then.

hey, thank you for the info.
that just solved it right there. A2DP...
I own a Jawbone 2. I don't think this unit has A2DP.
I guess it's time to upgrade to a new headset.
hate to give it up though... I really like how it looks, hangs on the ear(fits my ear perfect, can't even tell sometimes I have it on), and sounds.
guess I'm off to shop for either a new Jawbone(if they fit my ear right) or a new brand altogether.
anyway, thanks again.

Plain and simple your bluetooth has to support media playing thru it

Klipsch S5i headphones with S3?

I have a pair of Klipsch S5i (I realize these are the iPhone edition, but worked fine with my Rezound) that I am trying to use with the S3. They do work but when I try to make a call I have to unplug then replug in after I dial. If I make a call with them already plugged in the phone uses speakerphone rather than headset.
Any ideas? Any suggestions for other "high quality" earbuds that also have microphone?

That is strange. While I do not have any suggestions...My iBeats that came with my Rezound work fine on my S3 on stock rom and CM10 now.
What rom are you on?

Stock rooted. I wish I had kept my iBeats, over hyped but still good. :crying:

Yeah I haven't really spent much on headphones before so my iBeats work for me!
I have a feeling it is because of the product being developed for the iPhone. Can't think of any other reason these wouldn't work.

klipsch s4's work great on my s3.

Do you have the S4i or S4a with mic or just regular headphones? I would like to use for calls too.

UGH! I am having the exact same problem. I have two pairs of phones: s4is and the E2s. Neither works to make calls. I can't hear sound in the phones, and the mic is not supported. I pray this is a joke. How on earth can every other Android phone work with these? I just sold a 4s to get the GS3, and I'm already regretting it. My G2x worked fine with these phones. I use Headphone Controller to manipulate the function of the headphones for use with PlayerPro, but I can't figure out a thing about getting these to work for calling. I am definitely selling this GS3 if I can't figure this out.
Totally frustrating experience. First it was the stock mail app not supporting Exchange sub-folders, and not this. Grrrr. Any solution to the issue would be greatly appreciated.

Help regarding headphone issue

Hello there,
I just received my xz premium today, and to my big surprise my headphones (Huawei am185) can't be used with the phone.
I get a message saying ''headphones not supported .......'''
Can that really be true? - never had that issue before with any phone nor' headset.
Is there a way to fix it, and what kind of headset doesent work, kinda scared buying a new pair of headphones that ain't from sony, if they dont work.

Not sure what to say about your issue... I have tried two different headset/headphones and both work without any trouble at all.

Well, i tried some other headphones aswell - they worked fine.
Maybe it's because its from huawei?

is it a certain feature that's not working with them or are they not working at all when you try to play music?

They are not working at all
