Then, all you'll need to do is getting SBSettings and, then, BTMono SBSettings Toggle from Cydia. I've tested this problem on several of my devices (iPhone 3GS, iPad 2 and iPad 3, all running iOS 5.1.1 on the iPad 2, I've tested both the iPhone and the iPad version) and A2DP headphones ( Jabra Halo, Plantronics Pulsar 590, Plantronics BackBeat 9xx).Īll in all: unfortunately, if your device isn't jailbroken (see below), all you can do in order to be able to use your headset / phones is constantly, after every single call, killing and restarting Skype.Īs usual, if you do jailbreak your iPhone / iPad, you'll have a much easier time. This problem is very thoroughly discussed HERE. Then, you'll have another call when you can use the headset.

If you did conduct a call using a BT unit, it will no longer work until you completely kill Skype (by long-pressing it (or any other icon) in the task manager and tapping its red cross) and restart it. The problem is as follows: no matter which (iPhone or iPad) version of Skype you use on what iPhone or iPad model and what kind of stereo microphone-equipped headphones or mono headsets you use, you'll only be make your very first call with the headset - if at all.īoth Skype app versions suffer from the same problem: the audio is re-routed to the headphones (headset) only if you haven't used Bluetooth for Skype calling yet. Therefore, I decided to investigate the problem and come up with solutions to it. Instead, I needed to use the speaker / microphone on the iPad itself, making my environment hear what both I and the other party say.

As I exclusively use stereo (A2DP) Bluetooth headphones in the gym to give me absolute, cable-less iPad 3-video-watching freedom while exercising, I've also run into problems related to the Bluetooth bugs of Skype: most of the time, I couldn't just use the headphones I already worn to conduct the call. While in the gym, I tend to make / receive a lot of Skype calls to my wife or relatives.
