notifications while using bluetooth - Atrix 4G General

Bought a Moto S10-HD headset, and it sounds great, but I noticed that when I get notifications, my music pauses like normal, but the notification sound gets played on the phone, and it's not passed along to the headset. Music resumes as normal after the notification. That doesn't happen when using the wired headphones, but if I'm using a bluetooth headset and I leave my phone in the other room, the only way I'll know if I get a notification will be the music pausing.
Any ideas?

It does that to me with my Car stereo when its hooked up via BT. It isn't really an issue for me since I am never far enough away from my phone where i don't hear the notification coming from the phone. I never thought about why it does this, but since you brought it up, I would love to know as well.

A quick google search shows that this is apparently the holy grail for bluetooth headphone users. However, I think the same thing happens with wired headphones as well.
I too, would like to know why and have it solved.

My stock wired headphones play the notification tone fine.
While I'm here, another thing I noticed is the system sounds that are played over bluetooth are somewhat quiet compared to music. That also doesn't happen on the wired headphones.

Bluetooth notifications/ringtones

I'm sure this is a general Android issue. I don't remember this happening with my Hero, but I rarely had it hooked up to Bluetooth.
I have noticed on the EVO that when paired with my Parrot in the car, the phone will cause the bluetooth kit to mute the audio in the car and play any notification that comes in: text, new e-mail, app notifications, etc. It mutes the audio, plays the ringtone, and unmutes. It also plays the ringtone through the phone's speaker.
This also reminds me of the way the phone plays the notifications when listening to music, it mutes the audio on the phone briefly to play the sound and then resumes the audio.
My blackberry would play the sounds along with whatever music was playing, and would not play the notification sounds through the bluetooth kit in the car. I find this behavior to be better in my opinion.
Anyone know if there might be a way to fix this?

[Q] (HELP!!) Sound just went out on my atrix.

So i was just cleaning my garage and listening to music playing on my atrix from the default music player, the sound just stopped, but when i looked at the phone it showed the song was still playing. I rebooted the phone twice and still no sound from the music player. Also, the system sounds went out too. all except the phone lock and unlock sound, all the system ringtones play, but are not nearly as loud as they were, and my speaker phone works too. But no game sound or music work now. Another issue is no sound coming from the earpiece when i make calls, also, no sound through plantronics backbeat 903+ bluetooth headphones, but i do have sound through my klipsch image s4i wired headset.
i am rooted with stock 1.8.3. no other mods (yet) the only thing that i have done differently today is put the phone in a monaco aluminum case that i just purchased.
this is really weird, if anyone has any theories, fixes, or ideas, please share. i need to get this working ASAP!!!
just did a tibu and all the sudden everything works again. really weird!!!
Hi, sorry to hijack your post, but could you tell me if the mic works well with the Image S4i? And is the headset controller app compatible with it? In my country, the S4a isn't available, and the S4's cost the same as the S4i so it would be great if you could tell me.

[Q] Popping sound when SMS interrupts music?

Got my Note3 on VZW last night, and so far i love almost everything about it....except...
I am sitting at work streaming music. I have a set of speakers plugged into the headphone jack.
When i receive an SMS (or any notification), the music pauses like normal. However, right before and after the pause, i hear a "pop" sound, as if i physically unplugged the speakers and plugged them back in. My Gnex that the note replaced definitely did not do this.
I don't believe it made the sound when connected BT in my car.
Is anyone else seeing this behavior? It sounds like a grounding issue.
Same for me

I am using Rhapsody, so there isn't another app option. I dont have any local music on the phone yet, but i will try that at some point.
I stream music through Rhapsody every day. I hope this isn't a hardware issue. Seeing poweramp work better makes me hopeful it is just a software issue.

Car bluetooth audio - Plays through the phones speaker

I've just got the V20 and it links with my car OK for bluetooth. Works with calls. But for audio, it comes through the phones speaker. I can see the song name on my car dash and control it, pause, skip, etc. But it's not playing through the car's speakers. Any ideas?
Mine will do that occasionally for a minute or so, but then connects to my Kenwood and goes as expected. Have you checked the BT settings for your car?
Randomly happens to me too, but when it does, it'll stay playing through the phone until I do something about it. The only solution I've found is to completely disable the phone's bluetooth, then re-enable it and reconnect. Its very annoying! Glad to hear I'm not the only one though. I though something was going wrong with my car!!!
Thanks for the responses. I noticed this morning it had messed up sound playing through my external speaker until I rebooted when playing a video. I usually have my phone on android auto, so it's not an issue. But that's a battery killer, not recharger so I sometimes just plug it into the charger instead. Hopefully future updates will fix this!

I haven't tried it on nougat yet...but whenever i've had sound routing issues i turned to the soundabout pro app on the playstore.

No notification sounds when using bluetooth headphones

Hey all, it's been bothering me for quite a while and am just getting around to it now.
When listening to music (on any type of player app), I do not hear my notification sounds. The only thing that happens is that the music still plays, but lowers itself to maybe 20% for a few seconds, then back to normal.
This is the only way I know "something" came in. But with no audio queues, I have no idea from which app.
I believe I never had this issue with my old wired headphones. Unfortunately I no longer have wired headphones to test with.
Has anyone else come across this?
