STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM: Flash an N800 to the first final release of OS2008 and pair a bluetooth headset. Then install fmradio to have the radio applet on the desktop. After this, try using the headset from time to time (turning it off / on...) EXPECTED OUTCOME: When opening the headset (On), the sound icon should change to a headset and the sound should be routed to the headset. ACTUAL OUTCOME: Random things: - Either nothing changes and it simply doesn't work. - Or, the sound goes to the headset but the icon doesn't change - Or, the contrary... The icon changes but no sound to the headset. REPRODUCIBILITY: Sometimes to always... It's pretty chaotic, I didn't have time to test this a 100 times though. :-) EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED: fmradio OTHER COMMENTS: I wasn't the one finding this, it was suggested to me on ITT (see URL) that the fmradio was in conflict. I removed it and it worked (though, i didn't test this a 100 times). So now it's either FM support or headset support, that's a pretty weird conflict :-)
I confirm that I couldn't get sound through my logitech bluetooth headset on OS2008 34_2008SE_2.2007.50-2 until I removed fmradio with application manager and rebooted my N800. On 34_2008SE_1.2007.44-4 the bluetooth headset worked fine but I don't remenber if I had fmradio installed or not. Weird conflict indeed.
I was not able to get it working at all, even after de-installation of fmradio. Th headset icon does not appear any more.

After re-flshing the device and repairing it seems to work better. However, still not as stable as expected. Sometimes sound is silent or goes to build in speakers...
according to Johan, this cannot be worked on on the Bluetooth side of thing, as it is the multimedia components who do the audio routing decisions. Thus moving there.
As I was told, Nokia has no resources for bug fixing or testing of the N800 FM radio anymore - priorities have moved on to other fields. In fact this means WONTFIX - sorry.
