Ringtone playing over bluetooth when answering - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

This problem I am having seemed to start with WM5 AKU 2.3 and is still happening to me in WM6. If someone calls me, and I push the button on my bluetooth headset to answer, my ringtone plays for about a half a second to the person calling me. They usually complain about a loud noise when I answer the phone. I have discovered if I push the answer soft key on my phone instead, it doesn't play the ringtone, but it takes a little longer for my headset to pick up. This happened with my old headset (Plantronics Discovery 640) and my current headset (Jawbone). Has anyone else experienced this problem? If there was some way to adjust the delay for when the headset picks up, I think it would fix this problem because when pressing the key on the phone to answer there is a delay, but when pressing the button on the headset, there isn't.
Thanks...Brian

Hearing sound on Bluetooth headset when answering on device?

On my TP2, if a call is coming in and I have the bluetooth headset turned on, the headset will pick up the call only if I answer by pressing the headset answer button. If I answer by sliding the on-screen bar over the green "answer" button, the speaker in the phone itself comes on instead.
Is there a way to change this behavior such that the sound always comes through the headset if it is connected to the device, even if I answer on the phone itself?
I would be interested in this too, as I have a bluetooth car kit, if I accept the call from the car screen it is ok, if I accept it on the phone it routes through the phone.
I'm having a similar issue, but a little more complex it sounds like... When the phone rings and using my bluetooth headset (Jawbone2), I have to:
Press the answer button on the Jawbone2
Ringtone sound now comes through the headset
Remove phone from pocket and Slide2Answer with S2U2
Call is now connected through bluetooth
With my Kaiser, all I had to do was press the bluetooth answer button and the call would automatically pick up. No removing the phone, no pressing buttons or sliding to answer!
If I Slide2Answer on the phone when ringing without "transferring the call to bluetooth" first, the handset picks up the call. Useful in many cases, especially if I can't find the bluetooth after putting it down or in my jacket pocket for the time being. If I use the phone to make a call from the handset with bluetooth connected, it always transfers the sound directly to bluetooth. The problem lies with answering the phone with a bluetooth headset - the 4 steps above need to be completed instead of just #1 like it should be!
if you don't want it to go to the phone you need to answer with the device you want to talk with. thats how bluetooth on phones work, tp and tp2

I get that, If I try to answer the phone on the headset though, just the sound of the ringtone comes through the headset - the phone is still not answered, and is still ringing, just now in my ear! I STILL have to actually answer it via the phone's controls, which is pretty hard to do if you have your hands full........
For the OP Boo boo is correct. Answer the call on the device you want to use.
For Garcia25 the problem is S2U2. I ended up removing it and going back to the built in lock + LockDevice + built-in slide-to-answer.

Tilt2: Can't answer calls w/ bluetooth headset

Having this problem on 2 stock Tilt2s:
My Plantronics Discovery 925 headset doesn't properly answer incoming calls when I press the button on it that's supposed to (and that has worked with all other phones I've used). It's weird: when I press the button, the beep in the headset that's supposed to notify you of an incoming call changes to a different style of ring, but the call is not answered. Pressing it again does nothing.
I tried my wife's Discovery 925 and I'm getting the same issue.
I'd say it's a problem with these headsets in particular, but as I said, I haven't had any issues using them with other phones. Also:
My car bluetooth (2009 Audi A4) also has problems answering calls with the Tilt2.
If I answer the call on the phone itself, everything works fine.
I've heard that the Tilt2 uses a different bluetooth stack than usual, and perhaps this is to blame. Any way to fix this?
Here are some other threads reporting bluetooth problems:

Same exact problem with a Plantronics Discovery 975.
Wow, OK, figured out the problem:
The Widcomm bluetooth stack, in its infinite wisdom, interprets the pressing of a bluetooth headset answer button as equivalent to a press of the Green Button / Answer button on the phone (as opposed to treating it as the standard bluetooth command to answer the call). I had the Green Button remapped to iContact using aebuttonplus, which caused the problem. Incidentally, using "Green Button" to remap the green button doesn't result in this problem.
So I guess we can close the file on this one. Love these conversations with myself.

Turn off speaker?

HTC TP2
WM Prof 6.1
TF3D turned off
I work in a cubicle and listen to music all day via headset. If I get a phone call, I pull out the headset and talk to the person. Once the call is over, my music blares though the speaker until I can quickly volumne it down to silent.
How can you turn off the speaker?
any ideas on on settings, procedures, software that will help solve my little problem?

try this:
just put your device volume to zero (not loudless). your headset should have an own volume changer...
maybe this works
it is also possible to simply complete your call while on your headset. Am assuming you are using the one that came with your phone. This would eliminate the need to unplug your headphones.

VC by headset switch...

Hi all!
SEA Rhodium, 6.5 with VC 1.6 from links here...
Quick press Call starts phone, 2 quick presses starts phone, calls last,
Long Press Call button starts VC and it listens for me.
HTC wired headset (Stereo headset symbol shows in notification area), quick press nothing, 2 quick presses starts phone, calls last (then quick press ends call), long press does nothing.
I'm hoping and expecting that a long press on the headset switch will start VC and then VC will listen to the headset mic - just like the hand set, and like my old Startrek!
Have I missed anything? Why doesn't the headset switch completely act like the call button?
(bump?)
Hi all, still trying for help or confirmation...
My old Startrek would let me push headset button, beep to me, listen for command and on from there...
My TP2 will let me push long handset call button, beep to me, listen, do my bidding...
On wired headset, single push does nothing, long push nothing, double push does last call (just like handset!)... In call push gets me hold on/off, long push hangs up.
I don't understand why, if headset switch can replicate the call button,
why VC doesn't beep in and listen to me on single long push? It seemd so natural on my Startrek...
THX
Anyone else? Am I wrong, wrong headset, operator?

It isn't based on the device you use. The headset needs to support that feature.

Bluetooth Audio Volume Jumping Around On It's Own After Call/Assistant?

Haven't seen this specific issue answered yet - if its a duplicate somewhere a point to the right thread would be appreciated.
For whatever reason over the last couple months, the volume on my pixel 2xl will jump way up (or way down) when on bluetooth either after a call or after using google assistant. It doesn't seem to happen everytime, but just now I was listening to music on my bluetooth headphones at my desk and got a call. I took the call on the headphones by answering the phone and then as soon as I hung up, the volume on the phone shot up to 100% which was not enjoyable.
This also happens when connected to my truck (Ford SYNC) or my running earbuds, and it can also crank the media volume way down (happens frequently in the truck) after a call, at which point I have to manually adjust the volume again. The same activity also happens if I activate google assistant and issue a voice command, but in both cases it is not 100% consistent. It appears like the system is trying to dynamically change the volume for some perceived situation, but it sucks at it.
I also use A2DP app for volume control settings and app launching for all my connections, but I have used that since I got this phone 2 years ago and none of the settings have changed.
Anyone had similar behavior and found a fix? It is really annoying when my music goes so low that I can't even hear it in the truck after a call, and equally annoying when I have headphones on and it cranks the volume up and tries to blow out my eardrums.
