Transfering calls via Bluetooth

4 replies · 2,671 views · Started 28 October 2003

anyone have an idea on how to transfer calls between P800 and Bluetooth headset (HBH-35 or anyother model).. which is from headset to phone and vise versa

cuz I couldn't manage to transfer calls when I need to use the my phone while it's paired to the headset

Thanks

Hitting the call handling button on the headset normally switches the call over from the phone to the headset.

If you are having problems, it could be that your pairing is corrupt.
Try deleting the existing device and re-bond the headset to the phone; I had to do this after changing handsets recently.

On my headset (The Jabra BT-200) pressing the call handling button during a call just ends the call (I think - don't have it with me to confirm). What about opening the flip on the phone?

EDIT

Just checked the manual. To transfer calls from the phone to the headset, turn the headset on.

To transfer calls from the headset to the phone, turn the headest off!!!

Simple really 😉

I wish it was trhat simple 😞

what I've found is:
when ur Headset is off and ur phone's Bluetooth is ON (not on Automatic), then you can transfer to headset by turning it ON, then pressing the handeling button on it. (if u r using Auto Bluetooth transfer, then no way that could happen).

if ur bluetooth is on automatic, then u need to turn ON ur phone's bluetooth, turn ON ur headset, press handeling button.

if u want to transfer calls from ur headset to phone, u have to turn it off and ur phone will prompt a msg saying: do u want to preoceed with call? choose yes and u'll complete ur phone call with the phone (but pressing the button on headset for a short period would end the call, so u have to press it for a long period till it turns off headset)

these procedures are away from being usefull cuz holding the button for 5 to 10 seconds to turn it off and transfer call to the phone will b so frustrating, any other way that would let u handle this matter in more proffesional way?

Sorry, that was all I could find. The P800 manual has virtually nothing on bluetooth, refering you instead to the manuals of any other bluetooth equipment you are trying to use with it.

And the manual for the Jabra EasySpeak BT200 just says to turn the heaset on or off to transfer calls which, as you say, involves pressing and holding the call handling button for around five seconds.

I must admit though, that I've never transfered a call to the phone, only from the phone to the headset. And that works very well - as long as you have the HeadSet selected as the prefered audio device in bluetooth mode.
