Um, something's not quite right with that story. I can't speak for other phones, but on the iPhone the call goes EITHER to the bluetooth OR to the handset, but not both. Most likely she heard the OTHER person saying "hello" while you fumbled with switching it back to the handset. She should NOT have heard it after that, nor should she have heard your side of the conversation. Still, just be glad it wasn't your girlfriend! :twisted:rawhog said:Had something interesting happen yesterday. Had to stop by the supermarket on the way home from lunch. The little woman decided to wait in the car. So, I left the radio playing for her. As I walked into the store I got a call on my iPhone. I answered the call, chatted with a friend for a few minutes as I shopped. When I got back to the car, I told her so and so just called. She says I know.

Same on my Android phone. It will go to the Bluetooth automatically, but if I press the button to talk locally into the phone it automatically disconnects the Bluetooth audio.GeekEV said:Um, something's not quite right with that story.

I have been afraid of something like this happening so I always announce "You're on car speakerphone" when I make or receive a call.TEG said:Not quite the same, but I was taking some neighbors for a "show us the Leaf" ride. Got a call that went into hand-free mode and someone on the other side said something I would prefer the neighbors didn't hear.
That's to be expected. If the radio is on, so it bluetooth...rawhog said:Sort of happened again yesterday. Sitting in the car with it powered on t use the a/c. When I made a phone call, the Navi automatically piped it through bluetooth.
I think that it is. If I were using a bluetooth earpiece, I'd expect a call initiated from the phone go to the earpiece. Besides, I believe that this behavior is entirely up to the phone, not the car.rawhog said:Actually, it is not to be expected. If an there is an incoming call you must choose to answer it before the speakerphone kicks in. If I initiate a call from the button on the steering wheel or the touch screen, then I can see it opening the speakerphone right away. But, just because the bluetooth connection has been established between the phone and the car should not cause a phone call initiated from the handset to open the speakerphone automatically.
I have a 2007 Prius with Bluetooth and an Iphone 4. If I initiate a call on the phone with the car running, the call automatically comes up on the car speakers. In fact, if I'm on a call and turn on the car, the car speakers will automatically pick up the call in a few seconds and the handset audio drops out.rawhog said:Actually, it is not to be expected.
