[Q] System sounds through Bluetooth headset only - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Is there any way to play system sounds through a Bluetooth headset only? When the volume is on and a Bluetooth headset is connected and listening to music, system sounds come through the headset and also the phone speaker. I cannot seem to find any setting to change this. Is this even possible? I want to be able to hear that I have a new text message or email when i'm listening to music without everybody else hearing this also.

Put your phone on vibrate or silent.

When you do that, system sounds do not play through the Bluetooth headset. Music still does, but not the system sounds.

Odd, it's working here.
What ROM are you using? In your settings, you should be able to check what action your phone will do when you plug the headset/bluetooth.

So you have a Bluetooth headset connected, phone on silent/vibrate, and are able to hear your text message tone through your Bluetooth headset? For me I can only hear music playing through my headset when the phone is on silent/vibrate.
When I don't have the phone on silent/vibrate I hear my text message tone through the Bluetooth headset and phone speaker.
I'm currently on S3Rx ROM (Stock AT&T UCDLK3 JB based). When I was still on the stock ROM this was also the case. Not interested in non-TW based ROMs...

Works with my sound system, yeah.
Can't be much help with TW ROM though, sorry :/ - In AOKP ROM's control, under sound, you can choose your bluetooth and headphone actions but Idk if TW based ROM has that. Would be something to look into.

a2dp problem and phone not ringing when call come

hi i have this a2dp bluetooth problem ? its to do with the a2dp problem
anyway when connected with A2DP mode, all incoming call ringtone will play to the stereo headset and the phone will not ring at all, (its as though the ringtone is diverted to the phone)
but if i switch it to headset mode (not A2DP), the ringtone will play on the phone and the headset with play a beep sound for incoming call.
how do i fix this?? I want it to be connected to a2dp and yet the ringtone still ring on my dopod phone...
I havent found away to fix this but every windows phone i have used will route all sound to the head set when using a2dp, but the intresting thing is that when i installed microsoft voice command it would play through the loud speaker

Under Windows Mobile 5 it worked but not under 6. Under WM5, all phone rings would come thru the external speaker (I liked this) and music thru the A2DP headset. Now under WM6, I get rings and music thru the headset. No phone ring externally. I hate this as I miss calls all the time because the earbuds are not always in my ears. I plan to search for some reg settings tonight (on my own). Anyone had any luck with changing this behavior?

Thanks.. Your comments helped to solve my issue.. I always want all audio routed to headset except for "Phone Ring". I want the phone to ring externally because I do not always have my earbuds in my ears therefore I miss calls. On all Faria WM5 roms, the phone would ring on the external speaker but under all WM6 roms (had not used Faria's yet; I am using 3G's) ALL audio is routed to headset including phone ring. It appears the reason Faria's ROM would ring externally is because Voice Command is cooked into the rom and voice command will rout rings externally because of voice notification (even though voice notification does not work in 1.6). I installed Voice Command 1.6 last night and the Phone now rings externally with all other audio routed to my A2DP headset. Been at this for weeks trying to figure out the behavior. I am now completely happy. I have a very stable WM6 ROM and A2DP that behaves the way I want.

Suppose I should have provided an update.. It only works on the first phone call after powering on the headset. Once I accept a call via the headset, it nevers rings externally again..

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,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=667240
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.
Ta
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

[Q] Is there a way to have notification/ring sounds ONLY over bluetooth headset? CM9

I work in a quiet office, and listen to Google Music over my bluetooth headset (903BackBeat... altec lansing?)
On my old phone (G2 with CM7), rings and notifications and such would sound ONLY over the bluetooth when paired. Nobody was disturbed!
With my T989 (using teamchopstick's CM9), rings and notifications sound BOTH on the speaker and the bluetooth. So, I have to put the phone on silent to not disturb anyone -- music still works, but now i never know when i get messages.
Is there any setting to get CM9 to have the bluetooth sound behavior i want: silent phone, all sounds over bluetooth while paired?
Alternatively, is there any other ICS ROM that will let me do this? At least my G2 had a notification light that i could keep an eye on for messages -- there's no BLN ICS ROM for the T989 yet so I'm stuck!
Thanks all.

[Q] Getting phone to ring on Bluetooth speaker

Just got the Note II and am trying to get the phone to ring through a bluetooth media speaker. When I am selecting different ring tones they will play through the bluetooth speaker as well as through the phone, but when the phone actually rings it will only ring on the phone itself. I have searched through various forums and can't find anyone asking the same question. I've also tried looking for an app that will route the audio to the speaker, but no solution yet. Has anyone any ideas please?
Search for Soundabout in the app store. I use it and can route my Bluetooth sound, media and phone, to wherever I want it
sent from somewhere
Thanks for that, I'm trying it but at the moment I can get everything to play through the bt speak, apart from when the phone rings.
Make sure, in the Bluetooth settings for your speakers, that media and phone are connected. I have the phone ringing through my Bluetooth audio
sent from somewhere
My bluetooth speaker settings only have the option to use it for media audio, and not for phone audio. With my bt headset I have the option for both phone and media audio. I'm assuming that the phone ring is coming through as phone audio. The annoying thing is that every other sound will come through on the speaker, key presses etc, and the ring tones when I am setting the volumes, but not when the phone actually rings or when messages come in.
With SoundAbout there is no option for the phone call audio to be sent to an A2DP bt device, so I think I'm stuck there as well.

[Q] Mute notifications when headphones are connected

I'm currently using a stock based GB rom, Aurora 0.7.
I have a strange issue when listening to music with my headphones connected. I have the phone in silent mode so without the headphones connected the notifications make no sound. However, with the headphones connected and still in silent mode, when I get a notification the sound plays out of the phone speakers. I would expect this to not make a sound at all, or play the notification sound through the headphones.
Is there a way to change this behaviour?
Thanks.
For anyone interested, I gave SoundAbout a try, but this did not work. The best workaround seems to be Hearing Saver. The settings can be updated so there are no notification sounds played at all when the headphones are connected. Both these apps require running a background service.
