Hi Ed, OK, so if I understand correctly it's the bluetooth headset that seems to exhibit some inconsistent behavior. Well, it's after 1:30 AM and I only just now had a chance to brose through Friday's messages. I'll have some time tomorrow or Sunday and I also have a Jabra headset although it's the Supreme and not the "Extreme. Anyhow, I'll play around with it a bit and let you know if I have the same issues or if I find a solution.

Good evening Sieghard. As always thank you for your reply. I was already aware that it is not possible to answer an incoming skype call directly from the bt headset itself. When I receive a skype call, unlock the phone and then double tap the answer button, the call is answered, however; the audio either comes through the phone rather than the headset or the phone seems like it is freezing up, the bt headset announces call ended, however; if I power off the bt headset the call usually is not ended, the person is there and if I put the phone to my ear, we can speak. If I then power on the bt headset once we are connected the call does end. Is there any settings in the skype program itself I have to enable or change to allow me to use skype in conjunction with my headset or anything like that? Thanks in advance for any ideas, Ed. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Friday, November 14, 2014 1:08 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Using skype on iPhone with bluetooth earpiece. Hi Ed, Are you asking about answering an incoming Skype call or an incoming phone call while the Skype call is in progress? If it is the latter, then the Skype call getting cut off is normal. Any Voip call except Facetime will be cut off by an incoming phone call. If you are talking about answering an incoming Skype call then this can only be done by double tapping on the Answer button in Skype. If Your phone is locked you can swipe up on the notification on the lock screen to Answer and while this doesn't actually answer the call, as soon as you unlock your phone it will take you straight into the Skype app where you can find the answer button. If you use a passcode you will have to enter it to unlock your phone and before you can answer the Skype call. I think on a non Touch Id phone you'd have to be pretty quick to put in your passcode and still answer the call in time. On my 5S with touch Id it works pretty well since all I have to do is put my thumb on the home button for a second or so. Let me know if this answers your question or if you were describing yet a different scenario. You can, by the way, now use a 2-finger double tap to hang up a Skype call from within the app. Regards, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Ed Barnes Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2014 7:56 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Using skype on iPhone with bluetooth earpiece. Good evening all.Good evening all. To start this message let me tell you that I am using an iPhone 4S with the latest iOS 8.1 and the most up-too-date Skype from the App store here in Canada. I have skype installed and it works great for the most part, I can send and receive both text and voice chat no problems on my phone, and hen my bt earpiece is paired with the phone voiceover comes through it and reads all the messages and skype's options, however; when the bt is paired with the phone I can't figure out how to answer a call, when I answer the bluetooth by pushing on te same green buttin whidch answers a telephone call the skype call is cut off, do any of you smart people on this list have any ideas or suggestions. The earpiece is a Jabbre Xtreme II and it does support a2DP as I can stream music or audio and listen to music or voiceOver. Thanks for any ideas or suggestions in advance - Ed. -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.
