[Bug 1536493] Re: Call/SMS Alert are not routed to bluetooth headset

 

I have the same problem.

Device: Aquaris E5 Ubuntu Edition
Version: OTA-9

When i connect the phone to my bluetooth speaker or my car radio, i can play music via bluetooth.
But the handsfree function does not work.
My car radio is a Sony MEX-BT2500, when i connect the phone i can see the hansfree icon on the radio flashing for a second.
The music icon stays on. 
And i can not use the buttons or the remote on the radio to switch songs. These functions work on my old Nokia with Symbian.
The same happens with my bluetooth speaker, it is a Logitech UE Mini. Music play fine but the calls are not going via the bluetooth speaker.

I had the same problems on OTA-8.5

Title:
  Call/SMS Alert are not routed to bluetooth headset

Status in Canonical System Image:
  Confirmed
Status in bluez package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Expected Result:
  All audio from the phone should play in the bluetooth headset when it is connected.

  Actual Result:
  The music and other audio plays on the bluetooth headset however the SMS/Call alerts are not. They are still played in the phone's speaker. This causes the user to miss the notification because you can't hear it especially when listening to music/podcast.

  Device:
  bq Aquarius E5 HD
  Version:
  OTA 8.5

  Same on MX4 rc-proposed/ota 9

  In addition when answering the call, the call audio is not on the
  headset
