How Do I Disable “Bluetooth Headset and Handsfree Profiles” on Sony Vaio? So I Can Use Multiconnection Mode for LG HBS-700

Question

I have recently purchased a LG HBS-700 Bluetooth Stereo Headset. It comes with a multi-connection mode so that two devices can be connected to the headset at the same time.

However, both devices cannot simultaneously run Handset/Hands-free AND A2DP profiles or only one device will connect.

I want to link my cell phone (Droid 2) and my laptop (Sony Vaio model VPCEA36FM running on Windows 7) to the headset using the multi-connect option. Basically, I would like to listen to music/audio on my laptop while still being able to answer my phone...all through the headset.

Is there a way to temporarily disable the Handset/Handsfree profile from my laptop? I would prefer not to delete any profiles.

[NOTE] I am able to connect my cellphone and laptop to the LG HBS 700 headset separately. Also, I have searched online, read my Vaio's manual, contacted Vaio technicians and have not found an answer. I am waiting to hear back from LG.

Answer 1

You need to disable the option from your phone, not the computer, I had the same problem. but I enter on the Bluetooth settings from your phone and tell him that the headset is just connected to the phone audio not the media audio, thne connect the headphones to the phones, turned them off and on an voila, it works

I am just trying to put this answer out here even though your question is regarding your android device and also because this is not a forum because it took me hours of search to find out how to get my iPhone 4s and Laptop connected for calls and music respectively.

If you are in the same position like I was, connect your iphone to the headset first. Play a song and from the little box that allows you to choose the audio output (Iphone speaker or LG..), click that little box and choose iPhone.

That way you have set your phone's A2dp profile free. Try to play something on YouTube or some other video file to make sure this option is selected as the iPhone rather than the paired Bluetooth headset. After you do this, you will be able to connect to your laptop and iPhone simultaneously. Follow the instructions on page 6 of the manual now and it should work fine. Hope this helps somebody.
