Bluetooth handsfree problems

I've been over at XDA and still have not found a solution. It is the strangest thing.

My Touch Pro has this problem with bluetooth. The bluetooth connects to headsets, can transfer files, and can play A2DP, but when I use headset to make a call, there's no sound coming through.

So when someone calls me, I can pick up using Bluetooth and no sound comes through. When I make a call, it shows dialing, but again no sound. The bluetooth obviously can transfer sound over from the phone, since A2DP works, but the phone mutes when using bluetooth for phone calls and I can't turn the volume up. I've tried 4 headsets and they all have the same problem so it must be the phone. Someone please shed some light and help me out...

There is the options in the bluetooth settings for Hands-Free and Wireless stereo, do you have them both checked?

Yes both are checked...I've checked every possible setting. I thought it could have been hardware, but if the A2DP works, that means the sound does transfer so I'm thinking it's software. I've also tried other ROM to no avail......maybe I will have to try a cooked rom.

Any other suggestions or possible fixes would really help.....thanks

I'm not sure if this could be your problem but my brother has an issue with the ringtones he uses. He explained to me that certain ringtones I sen him he can not use because of their format. He says the ringtone works but when he answers the call using his bluetooth, the bluetooth mutes. He bought a new bluetooth (Jawbone) but still has the problem. It's his phone he says. Try a different ringtone or ringtone format (eg WMA, MP3d,ect).
