How it worked before the firmware update:

Pair BT3030 with N900 then plug in headphones into N900.
The headphones override the BT3030 so audio comes out of them.
You can still use the BT3030 as a remote control and sound continues to come out of headphones.
Unfortunately it did also redirect the mic to the built-in one instead of using the BT3030, even though it still shows the "headset" icon in the tray. This was annoying but still better than the current situation.

How it works now:

Every time the track changes it goes "oh, a BT headset, lets direct audio to it".
It is no longer possible to keep the BT3030 turned on as a remote AND use the headphones plugged directly into the N900, at the same time .

How I think it should work:
  • Headphones should always take priority if plugged directly into N900! Perhaps output audio to internal headphone port AND BT headset simultaneously. Either solution should still allow the use of the BT headsets mic and buttons while headphones are plugged into the N900.
  • Wired headset should always takes priority over BT headset but again continue to allow the BT headset buttons to work as a remote.

Now I am not sure if I should report this is a bug report or not, as its more a user preference. However I would like to ask everyone in general, is there a way to tell the N900 to NEVER use my BT3030 for audio? Its not perfect but I could live with having to use the N900 microphone to make calls, although how the N900 would react to a BT remote with mic but no speakers is anyones guess. It might actually work as desired, its just getting it to ignore is for sound output that is tricky.

Surely there are profiles somewhere that determines what to do when certain combinations of hardware are detected?

i bought the bt3030 to use it as a remote, you say it changes the output on every track change? haven't experienced this.
what i want is that you can use the fm transmitter and the bt3030 as a remote then because this would really make sense but it sends nothing to the fm transmitter and the music still plays over the bt headset


edit: i didn't read that you were talking about the update, but i tried right now on an updated phone and it still works. i can skip as many tracks as i like and sound stays on the plugged in headphones

Before the update, I had the problem that when trying to skip a track, it would skip more than 1 at a time. I haven't tried it since.

It doesn't just happen when I skip tracks using the BT3030 as I suspected, it happens as soon as the track changes when one track ends and another starts. It will play a second out of the headphones then suddenly go quiet, because its coming out of the headset again.

I had that happen a few times, you have to be patient. Sometimes you click skip it doesn't happen for a few seconds so you click again thinking it didnt register, or you hold it down too long.

That said, I was using it when I went to the shops earlier and it seems to respond instantly since the update and the only problem was the fact that every now and again it would sound like a chewed tape (which I suspect is a bug purely down to mine not being an official device but one reason I would prefer to plug the headphones directly until I can afford an official one).

anyone? this "bug" or "feature" is really annoying.

or does anyone know how to replace only the mediaplayer with version 1.0 or lies the problem in the bt modules?
