Prefer Bluetooth when paired and answering a call?

I have a Plantronics Voyager 510 Bluetooth headset (http://www.plantronics.com/northamerica/enUS/products/cat1150057/cat5420035/prod5360004). When the phone rings with the headset already paired, sliding to answer the phone picks up using the built-in earpiece/microphone instead of the headset. Every time I have to go to audio sources and toggle the headset instead, meaning there's always a few seconds of silence in the call in the beginning as I switch sources.
Is it possible to have a Bluetooth headset set as the default source whenever one is paired?

Hey filburt1,
Have you tried answering the call by pressing the answer button on the bluetooth headset, like you would for the Apple headset?
Page 39 of the iPhone User Guide describes answering a call from a bluetooth headset.

    Hello apple
    I have the problem with my iPhone and my friends have this problem too.
    My iPhone have the problem about calling and answer the call. When I use my iPhone to call I can't hear anything from my iPhone but the person that I call can answer it but when answer both of us can't hear anything and when I put my iPhone to my face the screen is still on and when I quit the phone application and open it again it will automatic call my recent call. And when my friends call me my iPhone didn't show anything even the missed call I'm only know that I missed the call from messages from carrier. Please check these problem I restored my iPhone for 4 time now in this week. I lived in Hatyai, Songkhla,Thailand and many people in my city have this problem.
    Who have this problem??

    Apple isnt here. this is a user based forum for technical questions. The solution is to restart, reset, and restore as new which is in the manual after that get it replaced for hard ware failure. if your within your one year warranty its replaced if it is out of the warranty then it is 199$

  • My 'slide to unlock' sometimes will not unlock when trying to answer a call. How do I stop that happening?

    My 'slide to unlock' sometimes will not unlock when trying to answer a call. How do I stop that happening?

    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears, ignore the Slide to Power Off that appears)
    Note: You will not lose any data.

  • When trying to answer a call with the phone in my pocket

    Most of the time when trying to answer a call with the phone in my pocket I end up starting one of the alternate options to answering because I can not see the screen until it is completely out and screen facing me.

    i don't generally think someone is stupid for not immediately undersand the subtleties of how an n97 works. obviously you do.
    There's no dignity in begging for kudos. Do it for the karma.

  • Bluetooth on my iPad doesn't accept or send anything, even when paired and turned on on both items. My iPad is only a few weeks old. What's wrong?

    I've paired by iPad with my Nokia phone. Bluetooth is turned on on both items, but when I try to send a photo from my phone to my iPad, I get a message on my phone saying "it's not supported by the other device". Is there a fault on my iPad? Or have I not set something up properly? I'm at my wit's end, as I'd like to upload photos while I'm on holiday.

    Sorted! Apparently iPad is just not geared up for Bluetooth except for keyboard and headsets!

  • How do I get my Motorola S10 HD headset/Bluetooth to pair and become "discoverable".  It connects but continues to search and drains my battery.

    I keep getting it to connect but the phone contines to search and drains battery.

    Had same problem and solved it.
    Speculation: It appears that the S10-HD can only remember one device at a time. So, every time you want to connect it to a new device, you have to erase the headset's memory of other devices.
    Solution:
    Turn off the Bluetooth on all devices except the device you want to pair the headset with.  Then, with the headset turned on press the + and O buttons, (those are the volume-up and power button respectively), and hold until the LED is at a constant blue, (not a flashing blue, etc).  I found this is more easily done if you press the + button first, just as you would hold shift down first before typing a capital letter, (otherwise you may accidently turn off the headset). This erases the headset's memory of previous devices and puts it into discovery mode.   It will show up as "motorola" when you search for a discoverable headset through the Bluetooth preferences wizard.
    Note: The headset will then forget your iPhone.  So if you want to connect it up with your iPhone again, you will have to go into the Bluetooth settings on your iPhone, select "forget device", and then pair again using the + - O trick again.

  • My i phone 5 keeps freezing when i dont answer a call

    sometimes when i miss a call a pop-up ( giving me choices of call later, cancel, etc) appears and the phone freezes and i have to shut it down and restart. once it took several minutes  to shut down i run on IOS 7.1.2 please tell me what to do.

    Assuming this phone was never jailbroken, try these steps as needed:
    1. Reset the phone (no data loss):  press both the home and lock buttons, releasing when the Apple logo appears. 
    2. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    3. Back up phone, then restore with iTunes, also restoring the backup
    4. Restore as new, without restoring a backup
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

  • HTC Incredible: Hearing two tones when placing or answering every call.

    I have an HTC Incredible running Android 2.3.4, Build 4.08.  Recently, I started getting two loud tones everytime I answer or make a call.  When answering, the tones occur as soon as I click Answer and before I say hello.  When placing a call, the tones occur right after I click Call and before the phone starts ringing on the other end.  What can these tones signify, why would they have started out of the blue?  I haven't changed any Settings and I do not receive updates directly from HTC.  Frankly, given how prominent they are and they way they just started occurring for no apparent reason, these tones are suspicious to me.  Sure would appreciate hearing from someone else who has heard them and might know what's going on.

        Thanks for looking into that for us mg4499! I would like to have you try a master reset of your device http://vz.to/19WXLUi. Since Safe Mode did not resolve the trouble, it may be a setting within your phone that has been altered in some way. Performing a master reset will move all settings in your device back to how they were when you first pulled the phone out of the box.
    Please let us know how your experience is after performing the master reset!

  • Solution for slider sticking when trying to answer a call

    I found that when I'm in any program, email, safari etc. and then lock the phone, when I get a call the slider sticks. I'd have to keep pushing the buttons to unlock it.
    Then I discovered that if I leave whatever app I was using and go back to the main page (with all the icons) the slider works every single time.
    I hope this helps some of you and I'm also interested to see if this works for other people.
    Please post your results.

    If you have to keep resetting iphone, and it is not working, you might have to restore the iphone.
    Here is an article from the Apple support site that might help.

  • Listening to music and answer phone calls

    When i listen to music in the car connected by earphone output, when the phone rings, and i unplug the wire the phone call ends

    if you leave the wire plugged in, you will be able to speak into the iPhone microphone on the bottom, and the phone audio will be continued through your car speakers. (this is what i am assuming will happen as i have listened to my iPhone through regular headphones, and when someone called me, they heard me through the iPhone mic since the headphones did not have a mic.)

  • N97 - restarts when trying to answer a call

    I have a problem since last update of software. My new N97 automatically restarts every second time I try to answer a incoming phonecall. What to do?

    Is it the latest software? Have you tried reinstalling it? It may have been a faulty installation.
    If you find my post helpful please click the green star on the left under the avatar. Thanks.

  • Upgrade to IOS 6.1 - all incoming calls come in as a call waiting call when there is no other call going on, and it won't let me actually answer the call.

    I upgraded my AT&T iPhone 4 from IOS 6.0.1 to IOS 6.1 on Monday evening. It completed successfully overnight and everything looked good on Tuesday morning until I received my first call. When the phone rang, the screen showed the typical 'call waiting' screen, asking me if I wanted to 'End Call and Answer', 'Ignore Call', or 'Hold Call and Answer'. Using any of the selections still does not allow the call to be answered. It takes a hard reboot to clear the call.
    If I make an outgoing call, the phone hangs on the 'End Call' portion. It shows the button being pressed and that it is ending the call, but it doesn't ever end. It also takes a hard reboot to clear the call.
    So, I have tried hard reboots of the phone, without any success. Last night, I tried to reset the phone to factory settings and restored my phone content from iTunes. Unfortunately, I still was having the issue. I have also tried restoring the Network Settings, and that did not work as well.
    Has anyone seen any similar behavior and have any advice?
    Thanks

    A brief and probably non-helpful answer: I know of no way to eliminate your large amount of duplicates other than by repetitive, tedious manual effort.
    *There has got to be a simpler way.*
    I hope you're right, but I don't think there is a simpler way.
    BACKUP:  It also appears that the only way I can back up the catalog is to shut down LR.  Really?!
    Yes, really

  • CAD Application gets Hanged for UCCE 7.5.1 when agent answered the call for particular location

    Hi All,
    We have a CAD server installed on ICM PG box.
    Two agent location namely X and Y
    Datacenter resided in location X
    Users in location X were not facing any issue
    Users from location Y facing diificulties and they were using CAD ver 7.5.1.
    Randomly for all the users in location Y were reporting CAD application gets Hanged immediately when the agent answer the call.
    Location Y is connected via WAN.
    Both the location we are using same CAD version, but still issue persist in location Y.
    Kindly let me know how to address this issue
    If this was a BUG why it was not impacting other location

    Hi,
    I found the problem in CAD Troubleshooting guide.
    Problem: Agents can’t log into Agent Desktop.
    Solution: During Unified ICM installation, an “Agent Login Required for Client Events” check box is displayed. By default this check box is unchecked. It must remain unchecked for agents to be able to log in. If the check box was checked during Unified ICM installation, you must reinstall Unified ICM and make sure the check box remains unchecked.
    I reinstalled CTI Server without that checkbox and now the agent is able to login.
    Thanks all for your help.

  • Lag to activate speaker button when answering a call

    When I am answering a call, there is a three second delay before the speaker button is selectable. This is on iOS 7.1 and didn't happen in 7.0 or before. Is this intentional, or is this a flaw?

    Hey MathGeekRob I also noticed this lag. Its really frustrating when cough cough "driving". I think its a flaw... dont you just hate it?
