Hi all,
When i have a Bluetooth headset connected and a call is received, a tone sounds inside the headset AND my regular ringtone plays on the speaker. When I get an email or SMS the appropriate notification sounds play on BOTH the speaker and my headset.
OTOH, when I plug in a wired headset the speakers cut out and all is heard only through the headset.
Is there a way in the settings that I have have the speaker muted for all sounds whenever the BT is connected -- channeling all rings, notications, etc through the headset -- just like when a wired headset is plugged in?
Thanks!

Hi there.
I need a bluetooth headset with LCD display (for call info) that rings on incoming calls not only on the earpiece but also "externally"; I often have my P3300 on the craddle while being working in another room, so I'm not wearing the earpiece.
Of course, if I'm going to buy a new headset, I thought of going "stereo".
I took a look at a few makers (Motorola, Sonyericsson) but none states clearly if the headset rings.
Anyone has suggestions?
Thanks.
You should be able to accomplish this with any headset. If you set Speaker DWORD at
HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring0 to 1 it should play out the speaker instead of the paired BT headset.
You can also look at using JETWare BT Extension which will add a lot of functionality to the MS BT stack.

He's looking to actually have the BT headset itself ring as opposed to the phone, since he may be in a different room.
To the OP: I don't know of any BT headsets that support loud external ringing, as I would suppose that could be damaging to you ears if you happened to be wearing the headset at the time. However, some BT headsets can vibrate, so I would look into those. Alternatively, if you don't mind their aesthetics, you could look into a bluetooth info accessory, such as a watch or bracelet. Those act as a middle man btwn the phone and headset, and alert you of incoming calls.

Not to hijack this thread, but can you point me in the direction of a a2dp device that vibrates? I have been looking for ages.
To the OP: the i-tech clip d-radio could be what you are looking for.
the Jabra BT8010 is very close...it vibrates instead of rings, though, and has an LCD display that will show caller info.
The catch is you have to download the software separately, and manually input the entries into the headset itself, and it can only hold 30 entries.
Anything not in the headset's address book will just display as the number, not the name of the person calling.

Thabks all for the excellent suggestions.
I-tech Clip-D looks like the ideal candidate!
i'm using the itech r35 headset which emits 2 beeps when a call comes through. if you want it on silent mode, there's a setting that mutes the buzzer and the light flashes 2 times instead. it's also a2dp so i simply remove the single ear jack and plug in the stereo cans i have
cheers
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.
Cheers,

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..
I recently purchased this Belkin Bluetooth Music Receiver and set it up in my car.
It works great for the music but when I get a call it just goes back to the phone(no speakerphone even).
What I want is the same thing that happens when headphones without a mic are plugged in during a call.
1. Audio through the "headphones(bluetooth in this case)
2. Mic through the phone mic
Is there any way to set this up?
Thanks
Edit: Additionally it seems that Tasker action *Take Call doesn't work on our device? Even rooted?
I am sure this is not specific to the SGS3, but I swear this used to work with my S2.
My 2006 VW doesn't have an AUX input so I use one of the FM Transcievers. It works well.
But...I also use a bluetooth headset while driving.
What I want to happen is to be able to answer calls with my bluetooth headset. Right now while the FM thing is plugged into the headphone jack, the callers voice is sent over the headphone jack and on the stereo. It is as if my bluetooth headset is disabled while the headphone jack is used.
Is there any way to use the headphones to listen to music, but use the bluetooth headset for calls?
BTW, I am using PowerAmp.
Have you tried changing the order in which you connect the 2 devices. Try making sure you connect the transmitter before connecting the bluetooth headset. You may also need to edit the properties of the bluetooth headset and disable a2dp to prevent music from going to the headset. If all else fails, there should be a button during a call that you can use to switch between bluetooth, speakerphone, handset. Not ideal while driving, though.
One thing Android needs is a proper mixer control panel...

Actually the Headset button is lit up on the in call screen, as if the bluetooth headset is connected for the call. Unfortunately it is still routing through the headset/handset mic.
Is there a way to get all audio to be played through bluetooth when a bluetooth headset is connected?
Right now when I use a bluetooth headset and if I get a text or any sort of notification sound, the sound okays through the phone speakers and through the bluetooth headset.
If I'm not mistaken the bt headset still has to be a2dp.
The headset I use supports and. Audio from music and videos play only through the bluetooth headset but when I get notifications or the phone ringtone plays through both the phone speaker and the Bluetooth headset. Ive tried a few bluetooth headsets and they all do this... Is there a fix?
