Hi,
On my HTC M8 when I set it to vibrate, all speaker sounds are muted, when I plug in headphones, and listen to music, when I get a call, the ringtone will play through my headphones. Which is how I want it.
On S7 Edge when I set it to vibrate, all speaker sounds are muted, when I plug in headphones, and listen to music, when I get a call, the music stops and there is no ringtone, I never know am I getting a call or have I dropped from 4G/3G to GSM and spotify can't stream.
When I set it to soud, it plays the ringtone through the headphones but ALSO through the speaker, which makes no sense to me. Is there any way to change this behavior?

I've noted these matters. But I haven't come across a solution. Especially the last one. I don't know if Samsung considers it a bug or a feature. Ideally, if the headphones are plugged in, the phone speaker should not work in any way.
Thanks for the response! At least it is not a faulty headphone socket/phone then.

I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about. If you recieve any notifications When listening to any audio through headphones (or through the mini usb port), the device pushes the notification sound through the speaker. This is fine when having a ringer enabled because I'd obviously want to hear the ring. What I dislike though, is when I have notfications (rings, text messages, etc.) on silent or vibrate, it pushes the audio that I'm listening to through the speaker still. I've always disliked this in WM. My PPC6700 did the same thing, but now I'd really like to know if there's a way to change this.
Now that I have an 8GB SD card, my Titan has started to become my primary mp3 player. I do FOH sound at a local club, and when playing music between bands, it's really annoying to have the music suddenlly cut out because a phone call is coming in. Likewise when I'm quietly watching MobiTV with my headphones on at work, and suddenly, Survivorman is blaring through the speaker because a call is coming in...You get the point. The ringer is off, but the phone still trys to let a ring through the speaker anyway, and since no ring is selected, it pushes any audio being played through.
I realize that this relatively simple problem probably does not have a simple solution as this is probably buried deep in the architecture of how WM handles audio gateways...that almost sounded like I knew what I was talking about; I can assure you that I do not . This is where you guys come in. I'm willing to test any ideas you guys have got. I don't care if it f&#*s up my phone...a hard reset isn't going to ruin my day. I'd just like a solution for this.
Ideas??
Thanks for your help and for this forum!..it has saved my phone more then a few times already.
Me too having the same problem. I listen to music via my bluetooth mono headset and these notifications (whcih I get plenty) disconnect the bluetooth audio gateway, forcing me to reach out to my phone and enabling the audio gateway again.
Yeah, I hate that too! I have the i760, one other thing on this phone I dislike is that the volume must be on to hear audio through my headphones. But there I am in a store listening to some rock at a loud volume, and there it is playing for the entire f'n store to hear when I get a call, thanks PPC!
Possible Solution!!!!
Might I recommend a Profiler. Like PPCProfiler. Just Google it.
What you could do is create a profile called music or what ever you want to name it. Then you could set up that profile to turn ringers on with the volume level you like and with or without vibration and select silent or vibrate only for the notifications. You could really but together any combination. I believe with PPCProfile you can even make a profile as a Headset Mode. So it will auto detect the headset and switch without having to do anything else.
Cheers.

Thanks for the reply, but a profiler isn't exactly what I'm looking for. I've had them before in previous roms. The problem isn't that it's an inconvienence to switch to silent or vibrate. It's that when things are silenced or on vibrate, any background audio is pushed through the speaker while the notification is going off. Meanwhile that audio that I want to be played cuts out of the path that I want it going through (ie. headphones).
Thanks tho...I'm open to any ideas.
hi,
how can i disable the rear speaker while listening to music with headset.
because, if the phone rings or any phone notification apperars, the speaker becomes active. so the music playing on player on speaker with the notifications. this is very disturbing..
thanks in advance for your suggestions
you cant
thats not possible, simply because nokia has this feature on some N series where when headphones are connected the speaker will not ring only the headphones will sound, this bacomes a problem if you lose your phone in loud places and no one can hear it. also, the alarm doesnt sound.
you could always put your phone on vibrate!?!?
thanks your reply, but after call the notification sounds on speaker. is there a way to turn steaker off after call?
i solved my problem changing hkcu\\controlpanel\soundcategories\ring\speaker value to '0' and soft reset now When the headset is plugged, if the phone rings speaker dont active.
I am using stock ginger unrooted android and i am becoming more and more annoyed with minor problems it presents. I am really very surprised to encounter this kind of design flaws in htc device...
Now i am not sure if it's hardware or software limitation, but i discovered that ringtone volume for phones loudspeaker will be the same as for earphones one. This is stupid, as i have read peoples complaints about phones behaviour while listening music and phone suddenly ringing aloud, this might be uncomfortable, for example in the library or public transport. But with me it's even more stupid, because i keep my phone on vibration alert all the time - i don't need it to ring. So i keep it in my pocket, and listen to some tunes, and then i notice missed calls... no ringtone, music still plays... how stupid is this?
I gave a try to "audio concert", sound profile manager which adjusts phones loudness when it detects connection/disconnection of headphones jack, but at the very best i am left with having a phone ringing in my pocket when i use headphones...
Almost every dumbphone i used at least stopped ringing using built-in loud speaker when headset was connected, not to mention SE phones which played ringtone through earphones even when muted...
So to sum it up, does anyone know whether it is possible to disable loudspeaker and still have ringtone over headphones?
Or at least any good semi-solution?
thanks,
I'm having a strange problem that I'm trying to see if it's bluetooth stack or CM 10.1 related. When I'm sitting here at work listening to my bluetooth headphones (Jabra BT3030), anytime a phone call comes through, the headphones mute and the ringer AND the music I'm listening to start blaring out of the rear phone speaker. I have to reject the call, stop the music player, and then call the person back. The headphones I'm using also function as a handsfree headset, so, in theory, the phone ring, music, and all answer/deny functions should be handled by the headphones. They've certainly worked this way on every other Android phone I've owned, so I was just curious if this might be an oddity of the new BT stack on 4.2.1, a bug in CM 10.1, or even possibly a setting I'm missing that's causing me this issue. Anyway, when I call the person back, the headphones take on the role of handsfree headset just fine.
Thanks in advance!
I am experiencing the exact same issue on my Galaxy S3 using Moto S305 headphones and CM10.1. I've been searching all over for a solution to this problem and haven't had any luck.
I figured out how to stop the music player audio from coming out of my speaker when receiving a call while on bluetooth. If you turn your ringer volume up then it won't send the music from the player out the speaker phone. When you have the ringer set to vibrate only then it sends your music out the speaker. But I don't want ringer noise either, I just want it to vibrate. My solution was to take my favorite ringtone and insert 5 seconds of silence before it starts to ring. That way I have 5 seconds to either reject the call or answer it before it starts making noise.
HI, I don't want any notifications or ringtones to play through the back speaker of my S4 when the headphones are plugged in. I want to ONLY hear those sounds in my headphones. Completely muting the phone doesn't work because then obviously I wouldn't hear anything in the headphones either.
So, is it possible to do this on the GT-i9505 ?
My old Samsung Galaxy Spica did this and I really miss that "feature".
That's weird yours plays thru the rear speaker mine plays everything thru the headphones when connected
HA! this is a hugeass issue on every android I've owned. im assuming you're using poweramp or something right? the stock player pauses the song to play it thru the headphones which is probably why that dude up ^^ doesn't get that.
anyways some kernels fix this, namely Boeffla Sound on the sgs3. sadly I've seen no fix on the s4. SO! , here's what your can do; in your music player (power amp, etc), under audio settings, turn on Settings>Audio>Audio Focus> and tick 'Short Audio Focus Changes', this will pause your music on notifications.
ORRRRR a far better solution is when you plug in your 3.5mm jack headphones (cause this shii* doesn't happen on bluetooth), you can just pull down your notification bar and tap over to vibrate mode. then you'll hear notifications IN YOUR HEADPHONES a little quieter but still noticeably behind your music, and your music won't pause or mute or anything.
