Just switched back to Android from iOS and apparently it seems like Android\S9 does not allow answering calls via Bluetooth Headsets at all? Is there a fix or mod for this?
I'd like to answer Whatsapp, Viber, Skype type calls via the answer key on the car steering wheel same as what iOS allowed me to.
To clarify - once I answer the call on the phone, I can then talk via Bluetooth no issues. The problem is using the answer button on the car or headset to pick the call. Normal calls are not affected.
All my google-fu has returned futile as it seems this is not possible with Android yet.
I have also tried another Jabra Bluetooth headset and it is no different.
Thoughts?
No problems answering on my Malibu 2016 using connect button. Not to mention Android Auto also works fine, but of course USB chord connected. But even when NOT using AA, I can answer or disconnect with car controls just fine.
What VOIP app are you using when you mentioned that you can answer calls? Have you tired answering a Whatapp or FB call?

After a couple of weeks of working perfectly, I've had to abandon using my BlueTrek ST1. It started randomly changing track on me. Since my most-used application is Google Listen and that program has no option to disable headset control, there's no workaround.
Problem is, I don't know if the fault lies with the headset or the phone. And I'm not sure I can borrow anyone else's phone/bluetooth headset long enough to confirm which is the case.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Update: avoided the problem completely by using Headset Blocker. This means that I can't use the headset button to answer calls, but I can live with that.
Hi guy's, i have a problem i havn't found a solution yet....
i've paired my bluetooth headset and all outgoing calls work fine. But when i get an incoming call its audio is routed to the phone instead to my bt headset, so every time i get a call i manually need to tell it to use the bluetooth... it's very annoying and unsafe as i use my bt headset mainally while driving...
I've looked every where, and tried all sort of apps that turn your bt off when a call is done and turn it on and pair back when i receive a call... but it takes time until the phone pair back with the headset... no good....
Please help if you have any solution, or you too have the same issue...
I have a rooted phone, using pays 1.6 bravesoul (based on mcr 3.1).
Thanks

I had the same problem when using 2.1 ROMs. It is fixed on Froyo (DeFroST 1. 2 at least)

Thanks for the replay, The thing is that a very simple software can fix this, but I cannot any thing that works... and Froyo is not stable enough for me...
I have exactly the same issue but with 3 different bluetooth devices. The phone will make a call OK and use the bluetooth device for audio, but when receiving, the audio is routed to the phone. Weird.
On my Touch Diamond 2 it uses BT headset if i use the headset answer button to answer the call and if i use button on the phone it uses audio on the phone. Maybe its same with android?
No, it doesn't matter what device's button you use or even after a reboot.
I have both a Bluetooth Headset, and a bluetooth bracelet. The problem is, I can't connect both at the same time. does anyone know if it is possible? I want to be able to make calls with my BT headset, or talk, but at the same time, I want to have my bracelet work so I know if someone calls me when I don't have my headset in my ear.

LM961 is pretty sweet! There is a thread on here - Open Watch that supports the LM95X series (I believe) but no mention yet of LM961 / LM960 compat yet.
Someone on there said that while such a bt device would be paired - the two do not reside in a connected state... Maybe this would allow your headset and bracelet to coexist... just an idea!
After reading the searched posts for hours, I thought I'd post and ask for an update.
Is anyone able to use their bluetooth headset to answer skype calls on their tablet by pushing the button on the headset?
If so, can you please state which headset you're using?
thanks
Messing around with a Voyager Pro+ BT headset, the earpiece transmits sound from skype and my music, but as for microphone, skype still tries to use the tablet mic instead of the headset mic. BTmono seems to solve that problem, but it's still not possible to answer calls with the call button on the headset. When I push it, it hangs up on an incoming call and tries to dial my google voice number and asks me which program I want to use, giving me the option of Skype and data calling. If I choose data, it says "not supported". Anyone know of an app that will let me change the headset button configuration to answer an incoming skype call, instead of the current function, which is to dial my google voice number, for whatever reason?
I have the same problem. Skype works great with BT headsets in Windows but the Android version does not even seem to have an options menu where one can select the sound input and output. Skype still works fine using the Tab microphone and speakers but if you want to have a more private conversation, you will have to plug in a wired headset.
I find it hard to believe that Skype would overlook this feature in Android so maybe there is another reason that BT is not supported.

skype works with my bluetooth headset and galaxy tab - likely your headset needs to conform to some spec (v2.1)

That may be it. The headset is a Samsung model WEP490. Any idea how I find out if this unit is compatible?

Which bt headset are you using, animatechnica?
And you're able to answer calls with the headset button?

You've already been asked twice. Please answer. Which specification do you mean?
I've already got the logitech bluetooth case / keyboard,
My question is, can i hook up a bluetooth earpiece as well to recieve calls? Would look a bit silly putting a 10.5" tablet to my ear.
More importantly, would i be able to answer calls via an earpiece whilst the logitech case is closed?
Google search doesn't offer up much.
Many thanks!
Yes to both questions. Bluetooth supports up to 8 connections the same time.

Now have many bluetooth earpiece. USe it very convenient. you will like it.
