Unfortunately I have no possibilities to try with other manufacturers headsets, otherwise I would have.

There is no settings in the phone that could affect this somehow, and if it's working with the other SE phone it should work with your Vivaz as well.

My best suggestions is to make sure that you are using the latest firmware for the phone and if so check if the same problem occurs when using a headset that is listed as compatible with the phone.

Actually, I don't think there is.I have a mono BT headset which works fine with my old Motorola V600 for both calls and music.However, although this headset also works for calls with the W995, it will not stream music and the sound only comes out of the phone's external speakers.

When I use the HBH-DS205 BT stereo headset it will stream music with the W995 and will also work with the V600 for both calls and music as it is backwards compatible with the older BT version on the Motorola phone.So it's simply a case of BT compatibility for audio streaming which the mono headsets lack.

do you have a link to which Bluetooth earpieces would work with Sony Ericsson Vivaz pro.....and play sound for music/videos

Using your phone's internet browser, go to Accessories--designate which phone you have and then select Music from the accessories list.

actually this has also been an issue that has been bugging me for a while now since I got the Vivaz phone.

I have a Sony Ericsson VH-310 bluetooth headset which is listed as a compatible bluetooth headset for the Vivaz (in the Extras section of the webpage you mentioned) but for the life of me I cannot get the phone to stream mono audio to the headset. I figure that it can't be an incompatibility since both are Sony products.

I can for instance, use the headset for mono audio streaming from my laptop, so I know that it's not a headset problem. Is there anything that can be done to get the Vivaz to add mono streaming to its functionality list for this headset?

So does it not work at all with your phone?
