Hi,
The nokia 5800 disables the internal speaker when there's a bluetooth connection to the "hands free" profile (my car). For some reason, it wants to send everything through bluetooth, including all system sounds. The hands free doesn't work this way in the car. It's only on when it's activated for a phone call. My previous phone (htc diamond) does it correctly and only sends the phone calls through hands free, keeping everything else through the phone speaker. The biggest issue here is I loose voice guidance from Garmin. I can hear it once I plug in the headphone, but that's not practical. Anyway to turn the speaker back on while bluetooth is also connected and just pass phone calls to it?
 
I had the behavior you describe on my N75 using TomTom and now on my 5800 using Garmin. It seems to be the way S60 is designed.
 
That really blows! I can see this behavior if for a A2DP profile, but handsfree??? It also wouldn't be so bad if it actually initiated and turn on the connection before sending sound out.
 
On my E71, output of music through the loudspeaker is disabled during a connection to my Toyota's handsfree. But alarms and audible alerts (e.g. text message alerts) are not affected and can still be heard.
 
yea that pretty much annoys me as well. its just the way nokia designed their bluetooth stack. with windows mobile, you can chose the bluetooth stack to connect to A2DP or Handsfree, the nokia stack connects to BOTH, which is retarded.
 
If you have a stereo with A2DP or a 3.5mm AUX jack, you can get a A2DP gateway and connect to it. Music and GPS nav audio will go to that while handsfree works (at least mine does)...this is if you want to go 100% wireless.
