Phone call indicator (light/sound) - General Accessories

Hi,
I'm looking for a physical, external phone call indicator. I would like the device to flash light and/or play sound when the phone rings as the standard phone ring is sometimes impossible to hear.
There's plenty of bluetooth speakers that also ring and you can use them as handsfree, but I don't want the handsfree portion - just a device that will notify when there's a call incoming, but will later allow me to have the conversation through the phone itself.
Is that such a device available?
Or maybe there's a way to configure the BT speakers so they only notify of an incoming call, but do not route the call through themselves?

Bluetooth headset and phone speaker questions

I have a HTC Touch Dual.
I just bought a bluetooth headset (SE DS220) which is working great - I listen to music and take/ring calls. However i have two strange issues I wonder if it is possible to fix:
1. While I am using the bluetooth headset my phone still rings if I receive an incoming call - I would like for the phone to be silent and for it to "ring" in my headset. If I turn off the sound in my phone then I can't listen to music either.
2. When I receive an incoming call I have to answer it with the button on the bluetooth unit - if I answer with the phone then the call is switched to the phones speakers. Is it possible to change this behaviour?
Thanks in advance!

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...

My ameo rings over BT via my sony BT headphones and then rings half way thru via the phone's loud speaker

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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

Q Ringing and notifications played always through handsfree

Hi guys,
Trying to find solution for the below.
When i plugged in my handsfree,then the sound for incoming calls and sms notifications always played only through handsfree, so i missed many calls.Is there a way to play these notifications through speaker (of course with handsfree plugged in)?
Thanks a lot
That means I must forget my hands free?cm7 had option to play all the sounds from speaker,so this is a tweak?

Bluetooth received calls

I have a Samung BT earpiece HM 1500. When I receive a call, the voice of the caller comes out of the earpiece & the phone simultaneously, & ofcourse it'd be so low on both. I then disable BT on the dialer & re-enable it, then the voice comes out of the earpiece only & in great quality. The same thing happens when I connect the phone to my car BT set aswell, so the issue is related to the phone & not the BT sets.
Any solution to this ?
Ok....so it is video caller id that was doing the mess....removed it.....everything back to normal

bluetooth notification sound

hi
When I connect my Phone (Android 9.0) to a Bluetooth headset, all the sound notification will go to the head set. It's not possible to change this so the phone itself doesn't make a sound notification.
As long as I have the headset in my ear, it's no problem, because then I can hear the sound notification (SMS, email etc). But if I'm at work, I don't want to have the headset in my ear all day.
how can i solve this problem
no response so far
