Problem n900-bluetooth Jabra
 

I have a problem. When I connect n900 to my bluetooth device Jabra BT8040, when I receive a call N900 just vibrates. I hear the ringtone only in the bluetooth device. The problem is that I don't hold the bluetooth on my ears all the time and sometimes I can't hear that I am getting a call. There was no problem with the same bluetooth and N95 which was not in "silent mode" when connected to the bluetooth. Do you know if this is fixable?

Interesting, let's see if this also happens for other people (/me searches for the charger for his BT headset). What about when wired headphones are plugged in?

If so, it may well warrant an enhancement bug to make the phone ring as well as the headset (as a user set option).

There are already some threads on this. The strange thing is some people think it's supposed to be like this and don't want it "fixed".

In which case a user setting to select whether the ringer should be heard outside the headphones seems like a reasonable enhancement request.

I wonder if the receive call, ring, is just a script or is embedded deeply in something else? You would think it would just be a case of changing how the ring tone is played.

Currently is just set to a specific output device, you would think you could hack that to output to ALL output devices. As I understand it, bluetooth headsets just show up as sound cards to pulseaudio, so you just need to get the ring tone player pointed at the "all output devices" instead of a specific one. But I have no idea what it uses or where its called, to play your ring tone.

It may also be they did this to save battery power, as presumably playing out of more than out sound card at the same time uses more power. Still, there really should be the option to choose especially as this is Linux after all.

I just wish mine would hurry up and arrive so I can have a look around at the filesystem to try to find how some of this stuff works.

Seems to me like I have the same problem. Lost lots of calls when in car for that reason.

Honestly haven't checked since first public firmware but if "problem" still there I really would like it to give user the choice, at least!
