I didn't mean it in any negative way. I tend to use the word "complain" to any report that something doesn't work.

I'm pretty sure the Tizen folks have successfully used the ofono backend for headsets. Personally, I've only tried it once on my own machine, and I couldn't make it work, but that might have been due to selinux not liking self-compiled software. -- Tanu
