Do you manually have to load module-bluetooth-device? In my case the module is loaded automatically when the device pairs. However I also noticed that when an application stops using it, it disconnects, so I need to push the button on my headset to make it connect again. However this triggers the loading of module-bluetooth-device automatically. This is done by module-bluetooth-discover. Make sure you have this loaded before connecting the headset. > 2.

In the case of bluez we are lucky that it does not build rebuild. However I filed a bug 370507 asking backporting of bluez 4.37 to jaunty. Please help to promoting the backport by testing the bluez package I mentioned in that page (i.e. the bluez package in my ppa) and reporting to that bug > 3.

You can also install padevchooser and switch single application to the headset. thefluxster wrote: > Please note that the "a2dp" is the correct Bluetooth profile for my > headset, but it may not be the right one for yours... Please check your > Bluetooth headset documentation to find the correct profile information. in my case the headset is an earphone/mic combination, and my profile is hsp. However if the module-bluetooth-discover is doing his job correctly, it should use the right one automatically. Thanks for the details!
