Hi,
I've recently bought a Jabra Clipper bluetooth device and use it for listening to music because my headphone jack has stopped working.
My question is:
Is there a setting that can be set so that the default microphone for calls is the phones and not the clippers microphone? And if not is there an app that turns off bluetooth on incoming calls and turns it back on when the call ends.
Tnx!
You could use Automate IT from the Market, this will let you create a rule that disables bluetooth on incoming call, and then reenables it on end of call.
It's a great app and can do lots more.

How about Tasker? I dont use it myself but from what I've heard about this app, it can probably do this.

Tasker would probably do it but Automate IT is Free!!!
You can set the phone to use the bluetooth device just for media, not for phone. No app needed. Just go to bluetooth settings, hold on the bluetooth device and select options. It's that easy.

AutomateIt app clears the rules I set every couple of hours ... don't know why?
@Ik Desire
tnx man!! your solution works great.
The disappearing rules bug in AutomateIt was fixed in one of the recent updates.
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.
I noticed what could be a bug regarding bluetooth and voice dialing. When the screen is locked and I use voice dial it would always route the call to the speaker phone instead of the Bluetooth. After doing some digging I noticed this happens when I have media unchecked. When I have media check it wouldn't route my calls to the speaker phone. This is very annoying and I don't know what to do to fix it. I don't always want to have media checked because I don't like having notifications playing in my ear all the time.

why do you want it to go threw speaker phone if your using your bluetooth.
wouldn't you want the calls to go threw the bluetooth?
I as well as many other previous Nexus 6p owners have been noticing that ringtones / notifications only come out of the bottom speaker of the Pixel 2 XL. The irony of this is that any app besides the "Settings" app has all sound coming out of both speakers. Is there a program / workaround anyone knows of? I don't care if I have to root my phone; I want to use my dual front facing speakers!
Thanks,

Too bad this apparently is not considered a bug, its just how its suposed to work. In my opinion its pretty dumb not to allow both speakers on incoming calls/notifications from Google.
I'm getting sounds out of both speakers when my phone rings. Not sure if this happened before I updated to 8.1, but I don't think so. Tested it with more than one ringtone, stock and custom. Now, my problem is the screen won't come on when the phone rings. I hope an update to the phone app fixes this soon.
Yes my also only the bottom one firing. Any solution?
Bumping this up, any solution?
Can someone please make a mod to enable dual speakers for ringtones?
Currently.. i am studying about sound mod on pixel 2 oreo 8.1.
My main objective is to fix the crackling issue.. btw.. i will look into this one too

I use a Tasker profile to get around this issue. Basically, I monitor the status of calls, and when the phone is ringing, I play my ringtone as media. Then as soon as the call is answered or ignored (offhook or idle), the exit task stops the media. I just set my actual ringtone in settings to "none". Other than that, it behaves exactly like a ringtone should. My task also matches the media volume to the ringtone volume while ringing, then restores the previous media volume setting. That way, if your phone is on vibrate, it won't still ring out loud. I can do a detailed write up on how I did it if anyone needs it.

That sounds like a great idea that I'd like to try. Can you please share that profile?
Like I said in other posts, sound does come out of both speakers with calls and notifications. When you're choosing a sound in settings, it does indeed only come out of the bottom speaker. I can't believe I'm the only one who has sounds coming out of both speakers when a call comes in. I've tested it with multiple sounds, too.

Confused with what you are saying. Are you saying that when you choose a ringtone in settings you no longer have it coming out of only the bottom speaker?

Yes. It only comes out of the bottom speaker when I'm picking the sound. When someone calls, I hear it from both speakers. I've tried this with both custom and system sounds.

I have attached my prj.xml I have literally never shared a Tasker project so I hope this is sufficient! If you have any questions, let me know!

Thanks a lot! I've only used profiles and tasks in Tasker before, but your project imported just fine. All I had to do was change your task's ringtone to mine and set my phone's ringtone to none. Now to wait for someone to call me.

Yes it does and it's great! I figured out how to test it by calling my cell phone from Google Voice/Hangouts on my PC.

ccoulterjg1 - please provide detailed instructions on how to get tasker profile to resolve the issue of the ring volume using the ring speaker configuration instead of the media speaker configuration, which should resolve the issue, as media volume is quite loud and ring volume is not (I need to be able to hear my phone ring when I am sleeping, and on-call).
My phone speaker doesn't make a notification sound when connected to bluetooth. Is there away to enable this? I'm using Textra if that helps.

SOLUTION
I looked all day and couldn't find a solution. 5 minutes after I posted this I found it.
Go to setting, then sound, then earPhone mode, then notification in earphone mode set it to never. Then notification will sound in speakers.
