Description Lucas Maneos (reporter) 2009-10-30 11:28:36 UTC

SOFTWARE VERSION:
1.2009.41-10

STEPS TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM:
1. Plug WH-205 headset into N900.
2. Receive incoming call.
3. Try pressing any of the headset's buttons to accept the call.

EXPECTED OUTCOME:
Call answered.

ACTUAL OUTCOME:
Nothing, the call keeps ringing until answered/rejected via the touchscreen or
the caller hangs up.

REPRODUCIBILITY:
Always.

OTHER COMMENTS:
Bug 1553 is somewhat related, but not a duplicate.  See bug 1553 comment 17 in
particular about the WH-205 being shown as a headphone instead of a headset.

The same steps with an N810 and the same headset work as expected.

This is basically a feature gap. Vote for it.

It's actually a bug affecting VoIP (but not cellular) calls. We are saving
power when we shouldn't be.

(Updating severity & priority as this is considered a bug.)

not sure if I should add a new bug report or if this is related?
volume control with a wired headset is also not possilbe:

and for me not being able to take calls affects both internet and regular calls

This has been fixed in the internal build version
10.2010.08-5
(Note: 2009/2010 is the year, and the number after is the week.)

The next public update will include the fix.

To answer popular followup questions:
 * Nokia does not announce release dates of public updates in advance.
 * There is currently no access to these internal, non-public build versions.
