Hey everybody,
My last cheap BT headset served me well but the earpiece finally broke. I had heard good things about the Jawbone, so I splurged and bought a Jawbone II (I think it's one version back from the new ones). Anyway, I'm not thrilled, as people I've talked to say there is some echo, which wasn't the case with my last headset. But what I'm more annoyed about is the difference in behavior from my last headset.
With my previous headset, if I answered a call by sliding the iPhone slider, sound would go through the phone, not the headset. This was good if the headset was in the other room, or I simply wanted to use the phone mic and speaker. But with the Jawbone, sliding the slider on the phone answers the call using the headset, which is really annoying, as I have to answer the phone, and then remember to click "iPhone" for the sound. It adds a delay to taking a call. Not a huge deal, but still annoying, and I still routinely answer and wonder why the person can't hear me (then I remember that the call probably went to the headset). The headset will answer a call if I press the headset button, but that's not the issue here.
Does anyone know of a setting, or workaround for this? There aren't any BT settings on the phone for the headset. Thanks!
