A couple of bluetooth to car radio questions

[Guest _dg]

I have a car radio with bluetooth, which allows it to be used as a hands free speaker phone and will also play music from the phone.

First problem is that when connected, all sound from the phone gets played on the speakers, so that for instance when listening to the car radio, the music gets cut off whenever a text, email or even satnav directions get played by the phone.

Is there a way to just have the phone connected for handsfree phone calls via bluetooth, and not every single sound from the phone - like I could on my previous WM 6 phone?

Secondly, when playing music over bluetooth to either my car radio or headphones, the music gets cut off for a fraction of a second every so often. I think this is due to some background task using up the processor or suchlike - eg checking email or sending data etc. Is this a known problem and is there a solution? It's not really possible to start shutting down every task each time I want to listen to music over bluetooth

Many people would consider that to be a positive feature, rather than a bug ...

Well, it won't put anything other than phone stuff over if either the handsfree kit OR the phone is ONLY capable of working as OR with a basic "headset profile" ...

But the Blade/SF can do a bit more than that ... :D
