Ringtone only in headset,driving me nuts!

in my tp2 i noticed that when i have a wired or bluethooth headset conected and someone calls me it only rings in the headphones! this made me lose several phone calls.
in other devices i had , i used a reg hack for it to ring in the device speaker and headphone,so i tried in my tp2 but it does not work as the reg hack is related to the microsoft bluethooth stack.
therefore i m asking for help and also if other tp2 users can confirm this issue.
my bt heaset is a jabra bt3030.
thanks

I am having the same problem with my TP2, the headset becomes useless for this reason.
I use a Sennheiser MM-200 headset, bought this headset not to have earphones plugged in ears all time but only when i have incoming call.

Not sure what to tell you about the wired headset, but is your BT using the normal headset BT profile or is it connecting also with A2DP/Stero BT? That could be part of the problem.

In the Bluetooth menu it is connected with: "Stereo Audio" and "Hands-free"

you can switch off the stereo audio function and stay with the hans-free function only. it works fine, but you have to do it manually.

I made a soft reset and now the phone rings even with stereo audio enabled - whats good for me, but i do not understand why

Hi Faria,
There is a setting in the BT config to transfer "ALL" system sounds to the connected audio device, this may be your issue. I don't use a wired but my Rhodium rings in the headset and on the device after removing this option.

I really hate this feature too. I am used to listening to music on my BT hedset. So when I get home I would just take them off, put the phone on my desk and go about my business. But if I don't disconnect the headset now I won't notice it ringing... which can lose in lost phone calls.
Hopefully someone will find a workaround.

Start>Settings>Connections>Bluetooth
First tab (gears)>Advanced>Audio
"Play system sounds on remote hands-free device" = uncheck
Just tested and works for me.
I get the normal ringtone from the phone and the regular "beep" from the stereo headset.
FYI, this is basically the same information as listed two posts up...

On my old phone if my headset was in and my phone rang it would say call from and state the persons name through my headset. The ringer itself wouldn't play through my headset nor the phone. And now I can't remember but I know it beeps in my ear but I think the phone plays the actual ringer also at the same time. But if I checkmark what you guys are unchecking will the actual ringer play through my plantronics bt headset and not on the phone.. I kind of would like that for if I am out and dont' want my phone to ring all loud I would rather the ringer play in my ear and was wondering if that's what happens when I check that. Mine was unchecked when I got the phone.. I don't havea bt headset I use for music just talking mostly when driving..

Handsfree Call with Headphone Out

Hi All.
One feature I loved with Cyanogenmod on my SGS2 and HTC Desire was the ability to make a hands-free call while using the headphone out socket to listen to music.
When a call came in the sound would be routed out the headphone socket to my headphones/car stereo and the internal microphone would switch to hands-free mode and pick up what I was saying.
With the Nexus however I can hear the other person fine but they cannot hear me at all.
Is this working for anyone? If not I hope the devs build this function into their custom ROMs.

Simple solution: just get something like this.

I guess that is a solution but it's annoying when every other Android phone I've used doesn't even require one and uses the internal speaker.

Using Audio out jack and Bluetooth at the same time causes problems...any solution

Anyone have a solution for this one?
I have a 2008 car with factory installed Bluetooth phone interface. The Bluetooth is ONLY for the phone, not music. The car also has an aux in jack for the stereo. (Know where I'm going with this yet)?
Yesterday I was listening to music using the 3.5 mm jack on the phone, and it was also connected by Bluetooth to the car's phone interface. A call came in. The stereo automatically muted like it should but when I answered the phone I couldn't hear anybody there. After 30 seconds or so I hung up.
Then it dawned on me, with something plugged into the 3.5 mm jack, the phone audio may have been routed through that jack instead of Bluetooth. BUT the car assumes that when a call comes in you want the stereo muted so it kills audio from everywhere except Bluetooth. I suppose I could have reached over and unplugged the 3.5 mm jack, but that's inconvenient when I'm driving.
So, the question is, is there any way to set up the phone to always route phone call audio through Bluetooth when Bluetooth is connected?

I have the same issue.
I listen to music in my car via a cable from the headphone jack to my car stereo's aux in. If I get a call over bluetooth, I can't hear anything. If I unplug the cable on the phone side, I can hear the person on my car speakers, and the caller can hear me via the car's mic.
Are you using the stock firmware or a custom ROM? If it isn't a problem on a custom ROM then perhaps it can be fixed. It's very annoying -- my 3-year-old HTC Hero could do this, why can't the S3?
I was told by someone with a different version of the S3 (an international one) that this isn't an issue on their phone.
I'd love to find this out while I still have time to return the phone.

I'm going to try building a "car adapter cable" that feeds audio out the USB port to see if that works, Instructions are in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395173

That could be one option. Still seems pretty lame that we have to come up with workarounds for this pretty basic problem.
And I'd love to hear from someone running a custom ROM to try and figure out if it's a hardware or a software issue.

How to pick up incoming call over Bluetooth?

When I try to pick up incoming phone call in my car, after pickup I do not hear the other side and they do not hear me. Only solution is to take out my HOX from pocket (in car is it sometimes dificult) and turn on the loudspeaker on phone. When I make a call, everything is OK.
Interesting is, that ringing I can hear in car speakers, radio is muted. I am using 3 various cars with Bluetooth handsfree from factory. They are not rSAP, only handsfree. Phonebook works in all 3 cars OK, but in Audi Q5 it works OK, and in two Skodas with RNS 510 I have problem with picking up the phone call.
When I have had HTC Sensation, it was in Skodas OK, I have had problem in Audi.
How to solve this probblem? I am now using latest ARHD 9.

I doesn't have this problem with my VW Golf 2012. Maybe can you update the software of your car?

I’m using a 3rd party (JVC) headunit with Bluetooth in my car, works fine for calls when its paired up properly. The only issue I have is that the phone doesn’t always pair the first time. Had ARHD before I moved into ViperX, didn’t notice any difference in BT compatibility between stock, ARHD or Viper X.
Try deleting all previous paired device histories from your phone and car stereo, re initialize everything and start fresh.
