Firstly - hello all! What a great forum, I've gone from knowing nothing about Windows Mobile to having a fully customised Raphael in about 48 hours!
But: I have a set of Motorola S9 Bluetooth headphones which work excellently (although I haven't yet made or received a call using them). I also have a Sony a2dp Bluetooth headunit which also works excellently.
However .... As a matter of course I use the one touch power button to lock/standby, and when I press play/pause on either bluetooth device it automatically unlocks the phone.
When I'm driving this isn't such an issue as I will be ordering a Brodit Car Cradle very soon. But when I have the handset in my pocket using the S9 having it unlocked is a recipe for unwanted screen presses. I use the Touch Media Player (I know it's not the best but it seems to work OK for what I want) and the handset switches to the Music screen automatically (as well as unlocking) whenever I press play/pause. So theoretically it's pretty likely that it's only the media player that will get messed with, but you never know...
So my question is: Is there any way of stopping it from unlocking like this without introducing extra locking/unlocking complications?
hi
im using the Jabra BT3030, that uses A2DP aswel, on my touch pro and my phone stays locked when i start stop use the voice dailing, changing volume or song.
the phone turns on that is true, are u sure u are using the lock function
to realy lock ure phone u have to press and hold the end call button for 2 seconds(lower right button). if that button is not set to lock u can change that in ure phone settings under settings>long press end key there u can chose lock device
i hope this helps, let me know

Yeah, I'm using SonyEricsson HBH-DS980, and for me too the phone only turns on upon play/pause etc., but does not unlock.
Have you guys had any problems with receiving/making call using your headests? I have a problem that after a few minutes into a call my headset disconnects, although BT stays on, and I have to restart the headset to re-acquire BT-lock. And it keeps doing this every few minutes. Highly annoying - renders my headset completely useless for phone calls (luckily it still rocks for listening to music).
Mine does the same. Both with my HBH-DS970 and with my HTC BT headphones. I tried the long-press end key lock which works, but prevents me from changing tracks using the HTC headset, yet the volume control works. Weird huh?
I haven't tried the long end key press to lock the device. But thats because I use that for switching on vibrate mode.
Anyone got any other suggestions?
I'm using the motorola S9 too, and my TP doesn't unlock when I press play/pause.
Note that I've installed Answerkeydisabler and Advanced Config Tool and played with locking/screen-off, and may have activate some options leading to this behaviour...

u can always set the long key to "always display the quick list" so u can chose to lock ure device or set ure vibrate ringer
also u can just use the volume keys to change ure ringer to vibrate/sound to
I am now using the quick list so it sort of solves the problem. But it still seems a little awkward compared to just pressing the power button once and not having the a2dp commands reactivating it.
Are we saying that this cant be done?
Any ideas?
On a Fuze, when you're on a call, you can hit the Speaker button to turn on the speakerphone feature. And you can turn it off by hitting the button again. That works great.
Now, pair a Bluetooth headset.
Switching from headset to speaker phone takes many steps: Menu>Headset Off. Hit Speaker phone on button.
Does anyone know of a way to switch the headset on/off like speaker phone? In an ideal world, I'd replace the Video Sharing button with a headset button.
I've hunted around but not found anything remotely similar to this, but I can't be the only one with a problem.
Any suggestions?
Really? Nobody else gets annoyed switching from Speaker to Headset?
Bump. Bump.
I'm looking for an app for my Evo. I use the phone as a music player and when I make a phone call with bluetooth, I get the music full volume in my ear and I can't hear the phone's prompts. I'm looking for an app that will mute the music when I press the voice dial on the bluetooth. And then restore the volume when I disconnect the call.
Anything like that out there?

Bluetooth Volume
I created an app that might help. Its called Bluetooth Volume.
It adjusts the volume when you connect and disconnect a Bluetooth device.
It sounds like you want something that that changes the volume when a call happens instead of a Bluetooth device connects. I'll consider adding that feature.
Well, I was about to post a question about how to extend the headset commands in Google Music, since I was missing the option to rewind a track by pressing the button on the headset three times, like in PowerAmp... HOWEVER, I before I clicked on "submit" I googled it one last time and found this app, "Headset Button Controller" which allows you to customize the button on the headset quite a lot.
It is "configurable, allowing you to play music, change tracks, adjust volume, answer phone calls, start Voice Command and many other things, just by clicking the button on your headset". The only thing I don't like is the sound it makes when you press the button, but well..
I'll try it for a couple of days and if it still works well I'll consider buying it, it's simply too handy when I go for a run.
Maybe I'm not the only one with this problem, here's the google play link to the free trial version:

Hi,
I have a phone with Android 6.0. And when I listen to music I use the button on the earphone microphone to Play/Pause music by clicking once. And skip the track forward by clicking twice. Sometimes when trying to skip the track the sound goes up, but I don't know why?
Also, what other functions can I do with the earphone microphone speaker button (apart from accepting and rejecting calls)?
Thanks
