Can confirm the same behaviour. Using LE-Bose QC35 II on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS.
Switching to A2DP stops the "Call from.." prompts on the headphones but it also then deselects it as an input device. (I think this is correct for A2DP). Selecting HSP/HFP or going back and selecting Bose QC35 II as an input device (which has the effect of selecting HSP/HFP) means the "Call from.." prompt comes back. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pulseaudio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1553669 Title: Annoying "call from" message when connecting Bose devices Status in bluez package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in pulseaudio package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I have a bluetooth Bose OE SoundLink working on Kubuntu 15.10 but each time I initially connect to listen to an audio or video, I hear an annoying "Call from" on my headset. My headset seems to think a connection to a phone call is taking place. This is annoying because the audio will start to play and after a little while the "call from" voice talks over the audio.
