Go into your bluetooth settings and open the tab on the left (with the gears on it). expand the Advanced option then open the audio option and uncheck the box to play system sounds on remote hands free device

Under the Bluetooth Options:Settings:Advanced:Audio is an option for playing System Sounds through the headset. I would guess that this option is set ...

Just as a test, I went a bought a Plantronics Voyager Pro, charged it up, paired it to my TP2 and it seemed to work properly. I haven't use it that much yet though. I also paired it up to a Plantronics Voyager 855 and it worked properly also. both of those are "newer" models than my Jabra BT250v so I think new goes with new.

My Motorola H970 bluetooth headset works great for outgoing calls. However, half the time if I press the answer call button on the headset, it just changes the ringing from the TP2 to my headset, and doesn't answer the call. I have to pull my TP2 from its holster and then slide to answer. Very frustrating. Is this a part of the bluetooth issues with the TP2?

Yep. This Widcomm stack is terrible for handsfree devices. It works somewhat with a lot of them but perfectly with very few, unlike the MS stack with worked perfectly with 90% of them and not at all with very few

I have paired with and use regularly:

- Plantronics Discovery xxx handsfree
- Sony car stereo handsfree and stereo
- Insignia stereo headset & handsfree
- Motorola EXxxx, the little BT speaker

All work great, except I can't hang up a call from any headset. I don't use voice dial, so I can't comment. I can switch tracks using the Insignia no problem.

Using Plantronics Voyager 855.
Can't "end" calls with the earpiece.
I can voice-dial and voice-control apps.
I've never gotten the hang of call-waiting with a headset, so I can't say if that works...
The "pause" function on the earpiece works with my audio player (Pocket Tunes).

Thought I'd report my experience...

Just got the Motorola S805 DJ BT Headphones... Anyone interested, NewEgg has these units with an ASUS USB Mini BT dongle for $30 buck ($37 with shipping)... I thought it was a deal/steal...

Anyway, after using them all day today listening to Pandora and an occasional phone call, all I can say is WOW!!! Great sound quality and none of the above reported issues... I know they're bulk compared to the typical headset as these are more designed for Music and an occasional phone call, not the other way around... The unit is high quality, lightweight considering the size, comfortable and battery life is outstanding... You can use it via BT or 3.5MM cable... Play, Pause, Next and Previous on one side... Phone button and volume on the other side...
