Go into your settings and find bluetooth explorer. Under bluetooth>settings>advanced>audio> check the box that says play system sounds on headset.

Should do it.

Tried it, ringtone is still playing in speakers.

Also, when I call people, they're complaining half the time of me breaking up a lot. I'm considering a different headset if there isn't a way to tweak this.

ok, tried the mortscript....ringtone is playing in headset but the headset's own ringtone is still playing.

also, how do i know if the me breaking up in calls is a bad headset or something else?

I'm using a GSM T-Mobile TP2 with Energy ROM and 25.95 Radio.

Any help is appreciated.

I have the same headset (the new PLUS version) and a CDMA Energy TP2. No problems and no skipping. Even if I have the phone in my laptop bag and I'm actively using the headset. Difference could be that I'm on a CDMA model vs GSM, but they still use a similar BT chipset (Broadcom) I believe.

Do you have your TP2 in some kind of case by chance?

If in your pocket, do you have the screen face towards your leg? The antennas are towards the top rear of the unit. Try having it exposed outwards and to the top of your pocket.

The skipping for stereo audio occurs in certain areas. I have it in a case, yeah. I'll test out more stuff.

So would the breaking up when talking to people in certain areas be fixed with a different headset? I'd just get one if it was the headset. What are some other good headsets that support A2DP and aren't in the $100+ price range?

Plantronics Voyager 855. Check eBay as this is discontinued, but they are still available. A2DP 2.0 or 2.1 (depending on when it was built). Stereo if you plug in the second earpiece (make certain the seller is offering this as some don't).
