[Bug 1013044] [NEW] PC auto connects itself to mobile phone as an audio device

[Sergio Callegari]

Public bug reported:

I have an android phone (2.3.6) and a DELL E6500 running kubuntu
precise.

The phone has been paired to the computer in order to use bluetooth for
internet access (as I prefer this to the wifi hotspot to do tethering).

Unfortunately, at this point, whenever the phone is close to the
computer, the two autoconnect for audio transfer and it gets hard to use
the phone, as the audio is routed to the computer (that incidentally
does not seem able to propagate it to its speakers and microphone).

Is there some way to prevent PC with bluez to announce itself as a
headset or audio device and autoconnect for this?
