@cvkemp has the Oticon Intent aids which have LEA enabled. I don’t know about the Jabra.
The 9040 you had before was the previous generation Philips which only supported one way calling. The new 9050 does support LE Audio.
You have Phonaks which use Bluetooth Classic, so yes, you have full hands-free, but other than Sonova made aids,most others use Bluetooth LE, which only supports ASHA.
The newest generation of Starkey, Oticon,Philips, and Rexton/Signia all support the newest Bluetooth LE Audio, so with a compatible phone they will get hands-free.
So thru! As indeed my Starkey’s AI 2400 also had no problems. So @PacaDoc ‘s statement about the Samsung doesn’t hold. (Off topic: Just to defend my beloved phone brand as an Android lover and IOS hater. Unfortunately the/ my first streaming HA’s were Resound’s and only supported by IOS at that time).
My Samsung S23 phone updated this morning I unpaired my aids from the phone and cleared the data of my companion app app then paired my aids. Hands free is still working after I enabled the le audio option in settings, connections, and my aids. I wasn’t expecting it to still work. I love having it but can live without it.
I just tried it again and did not work. I did it the same way you just done it. And when I turn on LE Audio I have no sound. When somebody calls me I tap my ear and my phone acts like it’s being answered but I have no sound. When I have LA Audio off I can’t answer the phone with a tap but I have sound when I answer the phone with a swipe. I guess that means I’m not hands-free. Anybody got a solution for this problem?
Buried deep in my Samsung phone app settings is “answering and ending calls” then there is “gestures and answering calls” mine is set to tab. Not sure if this has anything to do with it.
