Hi,
I bought my mother Samsung Galaxy S4 mini 9195, she enjoy it only the speaker is very low (yes, I done all the standards settings) and she can hardly hear it rings.
I thought to buy her a small Bluetooth device she can put in her purse so she can hear the ringer loudly.
The only limitation I thought (beside she must charge the batteries regulars) is that this speaker will not only ring louder (as it should be) but rather announce the conversation itself (what I don’t want).
I do hope you might help here(device/setting).
PS
I don't have the ability (guts) to root the phone and install app like Volume+ etc.
Best Regards,
Danny
No need for extra ringer. Get her something like this: http://www.amazon.com/OXA-Bluetooth-Wristwatch-Vibration-Smartphones/dp/B00HQZU8H2/
She will wear it as a bracelet, it will vibrate on incoming ring and show the called id number. This is "basic" smartwatch I use smartwatch everyday so I never miss a call because it shows called id and vib on call. For someone who doesn't need complicated setup of smartwatch, such minimum smart bracelet will do the job!
WOo, this is the first time that I heard this product,:crying:

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

Create a folder "Ringtones" on a SD card and copy different ringtones (search on internet) into that folder. Insert the SD card to the phone and the new tones will appear on the selection menu. You can try picking the loudest ones for your mom. Good luck.

By the way since the phone itself is slim and small, perhaps it works better by hanging it on the neck and use the vibration as incoming call alert.
Ok so far I like it - and I love the watch
Maybe a have this wrong....
Mute the watch also mutes the phone
muting the phone does not mute the watch????
So you are in a meeting and you place your hand over the phone, or flip it on its back to mute but your watch keeps ringing! Is it working differently for other people? It just seems so dumb - when would you want to mute the phone in a situation as above but want the watch to keep making sound?
App makers - start building - help us to get the most out of this new asset
I am finding the speaker to be inconsistent across manufacturer phones. I have an LG G4 and it mostly plays nice. I haven't put the call feature through the full tests but I did notice that when I was on the phone-phone and a 2nd call came through, flipping over to the 2nd caller automatically caused my watch to activate and audio conversation came from the watch, even though I did everything on the phone.
I haven't checked the muted issues, but that could really be an issue I need to really test. I have constant conference calls where I mute. I also work from home most days. I would HATE HATE HATE to mute the phone and talking dirty to my passing GF. Fortunately I do not wear the watch much at home but good to know.

Sorry can not help you in terms of your question, I'm looking to settle another matter! How can add and change alarm tones or notifications, because I have not found tones than only to call?

You have to do it manually, and you have to be rooted. Admittedly this info. is in the the wrong thread, but Motawa88 posted there, so I helped him out there.
Starting at post #353: http://forum.xda-developers.com/hua...skin1980s-huawei-watch-kernel-t3219576/page36
I suggest maybe starting a separate thread instead of posting ringtone/alarm tones in a kernel thread :good:
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?

Rom issue'
OK so I am using Samsung for years but this last bug doesn't go well with Samsung quality.
I have tried to report it but no solution.
if I am using Bluetooth headphones then incoming call must alert and disturb the music I play.
I am using some sounds for my meditations and when a call is coming then the sound become mono to alert that a call is coming.
tried to contact Samsung members and Samsung local support and they got answers from Samsung engineers that said it is impossible to avoid incoming call alerts also on DND.
just crazy thing that make me start searching for a replacement for Samsung after I buy every year the new model.
any solution from someone ?
Place it flight mode with bluetooth enabled
In general settings, look for do not disturb, there you have a menu for what you want to include or exclude, if you check calls, it even gives you the option to set exceptions for it, this works fine for me, I have in exceptions just my family members
thanks guys but it is just doesnt work.
the sound of the music become mono while a call is incoming
