I have an iPhone and a Jawbone headset, and your description is puzzling. When the headset and iPhone are paired, as you noted, the address card image of the caller pops up on the iPhone screen (identifying the caller) with an overlay of semi-transparent onscreen option buttons, letting you choose which device you want to use to answer the call. You find this kind of annoying, it's an extra step that takes a second longer, that you're prefer not to do.
I personally like that feature, I can choose either the iPhone, or the Jawbone. If the jawbone is in my ear, I just use that to answer, I don't need to touch my phone. Otherwise, it's giving me no choice. You want it to give you no choice? And why do you take the jawbone out of your ear, leave it somewhere, but leave it on?
Also, actually, there are BT settings for the iPhone, of course. Have you not gone into the iPhone's "Settings> Bluetooth"?
You might be able to address this with some minor habit adjustments. I sort of understand what you mean, you're used to the way your previous headset behaved, and you want this one to behave that way, too. It's a transitional thing. I think you'll adapt quickly.
Also, it reveals that you take the jawbone out of your ear, and set it down somewhere, while leaving it on, and walk away from it, but you have the phone with you. That strikes me as odd. I'd be cautious about taking it out of your hear and leaving it somewhere, those things are easy to lose. (I lost one, took me six months to find it!) It's so comfortable staying in my ear, I barely know it's there. And if I do take it out of my ear: I turn it off. I highly recommend adopting this habit. Don't leave it on, set down somewhere. But your phone with you(?) I usually do it the other way around; am wearing the headset, but forgot where i put my phone!
