[Bug 1013044] Re: PC auto connects itself to mobile phone as an audio device

 

This is reported against an old version of Ubuntu and many things has
changed since then. Because of that we won't fix this issue however if
this behavior repeats on a modern version please fill a bug report
against it and we will take it from there.

** Changed in: bluez (Ubuntu)

Title:
  PC auto connects itself to mobile phone as an audio device

Status in bluez package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I have an android phone (2.3.6) and a DELL E6500 running kubuntu
  precise.

  The phone has been paired to the computer in order to use bluetooth
  for internet access (as I prefer this to the wifi hotspot to do
  tethering).

  Unfortunately, at this point, whenever the phone is close to the
  computer, the two autoconnect for audio transfer and it gets hard to
  use the phone, as the audio is routed to the computer (that
  incidentally does not seem able to propagate it to its speakers and
  microphone).

  Is there some way to prevent PC with bluez to announce itself as a
  headset or audio device and autoconnect for this?
