No ringtones and notifications through Bluetooth headset?

I have searched the app market high and low for an app that will direct ringtones and notification tones to the bluetooth headset. Not just some cheesy tone from the app itself, but the actual tone that the phone emits.

This seems to be a limitation of the X, no?

I've heard it's a universal problem with Android devices. Some rumors state this is fixed with 2.3, however I'll wait to see.

I really think it is more the bluetooth device because my handsfree and laptop bluetooth will play the ringer through them when the device rings, does your headset support a2dp streaming, I think this may be the factor that causes this..

Both the Jawbone Prime, the Icon, and the Plantronics ProPlus headsets are advertised as A2DP-capable.

My X plays regular music tracks through the headset just fine. And when using the player or RingDroid, the ringtones and notification tones play through the headset as well.

But it's when the phone gets a call or a message that won't play through the headset.

Anyway, I'm prepared to reset the phone and get Gingerbread whenever the Powers That Be decide to unleash it upon us.

Thanx,

That's a strange one, I don't use a bluetooth headset any more so I never noticed this happened, since it worked on all my other devices I figure this would work for the headsets also. I remember when I had this issue with WM devices and I usually could resolve with a app, I would be surprise that there isn't a app on market for this.

Another thing to try is to go to Settings / Wireless and Networks / Bluetooth Settings and press and hold on headset label and select Options and see if there is any advance options that can resolve this..

This is a known Issue, Notifications Play through speaker and not Bluetooth. In my car Notifications will mute the streaming audio when the phone Plays identification thru speaker Phone will send a ring tone for calls depending on if Bluetooth device supports it.

My Dual Car deck with Bluetooth and my Motorola's Head phones same thing. I was hoping 2.3.3 addressed this issue. It does not.
