[Q] Ringtones are played through the speaker while headset is connected, why? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

As the title says, ringtones are being played through speaker while headset is connected... How can I change this?
ROM: Xperia ultimate hd 2.0.3
Thanks

i do not believe you can. Every phone i encountered till now play`s the ringtone on speaker ass well with the headphones beacuase you might have earphones conected but not with you, and you will not be able the hear phone ringing this way..

With GB it was possible. Thanks anyway.

stereo headset transfers ring to headset, phone doesn't ring

I have the i-mate JASJAM (i.e. Hermes) which has A2DP. I bought the Jabra BT8010 stereo headset with headset profile and stereo profile. When I pair the two, every sound from the phone automatically gets transferred to the headset, which means the phone doesn't ring because the ringtone is also transferred. If I don't have the headset on I don't hear the phone ring.
I spoke to Jabra, they said I have to configure the phone somehow because the headset "just accepts whatever the phone sends".
Any ideas?
hey, same problem here
i have tried a few A2DP headsets(from other manufacturers)and with all of them the ring is streamed to the headset!
can any one help?
Are you kidding me? that's just one of the best things. How else do you know when you have a call when listening music? And why leave the headset paired when you don't use it? if you don't listen to music don't switch on the headset.
I don't always have my headset on my ear, I want the phone to ring. If the headset is disconnected, the phone doesn't always transfer an existing call to the headset if I turn on the headset only after the call has started.
So, I want to know if there is a way not to transfer the call ring (and all other device sound besides the call itself) to the headset...
hi Tsabar
Is the duration of your ringtone set to max?
My ameo rings over BT via my sony BT headphones and then rings half way thru via the phone's loud speaker

yeah, it just keeps ringing in the headset only
I would also like to know how to make the phone ring when the head set is plugged in.
I don't always have the headset in my ears but still want to hear the phone ring. There must be a setting to allow this somewhere.
Any ideas?
exact same problem here
using a htc mozart .. my bt head set picks up all sound, not only music and convo.. so i dont hear if someone calls me unless i wear my headset in my office at all times or turn it off with the need to turn it on (waiting forsync) whenever someone calls me...
thats absolutely stupid, who is the numbwit at Microsoft that got that idea?
actually the sounds (and lack of profiles realy need some work) im using this phone as a 3g business phone including mail, and evrything else..
now im also using the alarm feature but guess what you cannot make it "alarm only" you have to accept all the stupid notification sounds if you want to hear the sound of the alarm.. or like me disable the notifications from t.ex mails to avoi being woken up at night from that.. its so lame.
i can see that a low of features could be refactored on modern dauy phones.. but the win 7 mobile realy disnt do the job (yet).. i would rather wait for office support if i could have profiles..
another realy lousy thing is that you have to buy office 2010 including outlook to sync contacts ..older versions DONT work

A2DP Bluetooth problem? - Sony BT2700 and HTC Desire.

Hey all,
I am having some trouble when connecting it in car to my Sony BT2700 head-unit it is all working brilliant calling, music and so on.
But the problem shows when disconnection it again and making or receiving a call the sound in the ear is very loud and metallic, the only way to fix it is rebooting. When it happens I try to turn the volume down or up and still nothings happens..
The phone is rooted but the problem was there before. Anyone that have experienced the same with loud volume?
Maybe it is a a2dp problem?
/tsk

With headphones can I have the phone muted?

OK
When I have my headphones in I want to be able to hear a new email come in and if it rings, so have the phone on a loud setting.
Trouble is, this also makes the phone be loud and disturbs people around me with it blasting out of the speaker.
Can the phone be made quiet and still have it all through the headphones?
Ta
I don't know what is different on your side, but when a notification comes through while I have my headphones on and listening to music, the music dims, notification goes on and music goes back to normal. With an incoming call the music dims the same and the ringtone also plays through the headphones. When the call is finished, you just go on with the music.

Mmm interesting. So is your phone completely silent when this happens?
I've tested again and can't get my phone quiet but have notifications playing.
with your headphones plugged in - do you get a the headset icon on the top of the screen?

Yep. Tried it with physically connecting and via bluetooth and both times get the icon and both times plays through phone and headset.
Can anyone test theirs to make sure is not just me ...... Or if its Mr and I'm doing something wrong.

if you are using the headphones supplied from htc then i am not sure, if you are plugging in standard headphones direct then read this thread had similar problems and solved it with a £1.00 cable,

It also does this when connected with bluetooth which has no connection to the socket.
Does yours mute the phone?
No one has actually said if this happens to them or not yet.
My phone doesn't mute the external speaker when the original headphone jack is connected either.
I would have thought this is quitea big flaw. Who wants to hear the phone when you gave your headphones in?
AlsoI find it odd thatI haven't seen many people talking about the same issue.
It must be something that you have installed on the phone, I actually had a few bugs here and there with the phone in the beginning until i done a factory wipe on it and started again I was having a problem with the music player only playing until the screen timed out then stopping the music giving me a minute of music. never did solve it, reset the device and its never happened again.
Basically when i play music on mine it it will play through the speaker on the phone, then when i plug in the headphones it will play through the headphones muting the phone, in point of fact i cannot get it to play through the headphones and the onphone speaker at the same time at all. Then when the phone rings the ringing will be heard in my headphones and also it will sound on the phone at the same time turning my music down at the same time. then once the call is finished the music resumes automatically.
Either your phone is playing silly beggars like mine did in the beginning or you have an app installed that is causing the problems. if you reset it back to default and the problem still occurs then you may have a faulty handset.
Sorry I'm not quite sure I made myself clear.
If I have my headphones inI don't want anything to come from the phone speaker. Something that doesn't happen. I get the ringing and all notifications through my headphones aswell as the phone.
Why would you want the phone to blast out when someone calls out every time you get a text or email if you have headphones on? I'm glad I don't commute.
my phone's external speaker makes no noise with headphones attached..

OK cool.
So is that with official headset?
Can you then hear the notifications and ringing through your headset and the phone silent?
Is your profile on " normal" ?
Sound profile is on normal.. i am using sony headphones.. (the standard ones are not great to be honest) i also use nuforce ne8s... same story..
yes i can hear notifications through the headphones.. like when a text etc comes through
Thanks,
Michael

Ta.
It would appear that I have a dodgy handset then.
As I did a factory reset just now.
I've tried with various headsets wired and Bluetooth and can't get it to be silent with headphones attached.
I'm going down to cpw tomorrow to sort it.

And so Michael it would appear that from what haggisuk99 is saying above, he too had a dodgy handset aswell as ragwo
Anyone else able to have headphones connected, have someone ring them and the ringing ONLY be heard in the headphones NOT from the phone ?

I don't believe I have a dodgy headphone socket as I have never had any issues with my headPHONES when using them with the Desire.
But I also confirm that the Ringtone plays in both the headPHONE and through the speaker, i.e. the speaker is not muted as it was on my previous WinMo phone Touch Pro/Raphael.
Now whether this is by design or a bug is the real question. I couldn't believe this is by design, but you never know!
I doubt its the headphone socket, something to do with software possibly ?
Ive got a mate to test his aswell, results to come later.
So now, that's 4 in this thread with the same issue.
And if i dont hear anything later, i will go into CPW tomorrow to try their stock ones.
I wrote to htc with my problem and got this reply. To be fair it only took 3 days for a reply.
Not sure they got it completely as I'm more interested in notifications playing out more than ringing.
If you agree with me please email HTC.

Hi
Thank you for contacting us. In respect of the query that you have raised regarding the functionality of the HTC Desire speaker when using headphones, we must advise you that this is the correct operation of the device by design. Most customers would find it inconvenient and uncomfortable to have notifications and ringtones coming through their headset when they are listening to music (which is the primary purpose of connecting the headphones). Also, it is considered that when you are in a quiet environment, it is not useful to be able to hear the phone ring as you would not be able to talk. It is recommended therefore that you set your phone to vibrate mode. Although we greatly appreciate your suggestions and will pass these on to our software development team, for the above reasons it is highly unlikely that this functionality will be changed. If you require any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us again.
Kind Regards

Ring from speaker with handsfree plugged in?

Hi guys,
Is it possible to have the phone ringing from the external speaker instead of the headset when the handsfree is plugged in?
Cheers
Anyone? There must be a way.
Searched everywhere but nothing helpful... Someone??
mine rings from the headset & The external speaker !!!
wish to disable the external speaker when headset is pluged in though ...
The 'Fix' could be ROM dependant, im not sure but one ROM might use both speaker and earphone, another might use just speaker
What ROMs are you guys running??
Stock ROM here

Ringtone on loudspeakers even when headphones are plugged in

When I have my headphones plugged in and my phone (Moto Z [griffin] LOS16.0) rings, I often can not hear the ringtone, because it is on the loudspeaker, not on the headphones.
If I am sensitive enough, I can feel the vibration, but more often than not, I just miss the call.
From former phones on stock ROM I was used to have the ringtone on my headphones when they were plugged in.
I have searched the phone's preferences and this forum, but have not come up with a solution.
This two year old post implies that it used to work the way I expected it:

But when I put it aside sometimes the phone rings and I don't hear it because the ringtone is played through the earphones too.
Is it possible to have the phone ringing on the loudspeaker and then switch sound to headset as soon as I accept a call?
