So at work I listen to music and I have the notification sounds up so that I am alerted when I have messages or a call. My problem is that while the sounds play via the included ear buds it also plays on the device. Is there a way to turn that off? Same thing happens in my car via Bluetooth.

Hi All
I have been told by o2 that the following is a feature:
When my XDA has an incoming call, with the headset plugged in, the 'ringing' only sounds from the headset instead of the speaker.
Is this a feature or a fault?
Comments gratefully received
I'd say bit of both.
I've had my headset plugged in and heard the ringtone through both the headset AND the unit itself, but perhaps there's a way of making it so that the headset is the only audio (perhaps plugging the jack in whilst on silent then turning it back up?).
I've definitely had the headset ring out whilst the jack is connected.

Feature or fault, that's a hard one to call!
I would say it working as designed, since the headset will always override the speaker in any fashion. :wink:
I've never heard of this. All the US units ring in BOTH if the headset is plugged in. Unfortunately, message notification and alarms sound only in the headset though.
Hi,
As far as I have found out the behavior is not consistent. My device sometimes only ring in the headset and sometimes ring both. I have found out if you plug in the headset and connect via USB cable to the PC it will always ring both in headset and speaker. This is true even after you have unplugged the USB. Seems to me some flag I set during USB connation that enables this... ?!
For notifications - this only works via the headset... for me at least.
I find this annoying - the SmartPhone works as it should in regards to this.
I run 4.00.05 baked at this site... keep up the good work !
I had this similiar feature/bug experience too.
My XDA rings both on the headset and its speaker. One day, at some point, I managed to put it into a strange state. I started playing an mp3 with the windows media player (WMP) without the handset, it played thru its speaker (that's correct). And then I plug in the headset, mp3 came out from only the headset (that's correct too).
After that, I pressed "stop" the mp3 in the WMP, and then "play" again, mp3 came out thru both the headset and its speaker.
I don't seem to be able to reproduce this "feature" anymore now. Well, of course, that's after a reboot a while later.
In fact, now I've got a question then. Does that mean the on/off of the speaker can be controlled in software? AFAIK, like the iPAQ, it's controlled in the hardware, that means if you plug in a headphone, the speaker of the unit will be off.
Does that mean the on/off of the speaker can be controlled in software?

Yes, evidenced by the phone behaviour. Most devices use a simple contact in the headset connector to disengage the speaker, but obviously not the PE.

I would rather ask it to be a user defined option. I believe the current setup (both ringing) came after noticing that you can simply forget your headset plugged in so you may miss some calls.
But in some situations (ex: meetings) I would like to keep the headset plugged in and get the rining only through it.
Sorry if this has been brought up before....i tried searching but couldn't find anything.
I seem to be having a problem and don't know how to solve it:
When someone calls, it only rings on the phone and not in the headphones as well.
So if I am listening to music and I get a call, the phone rings and the music pauses but there is no ringtone in the headphones??
I am using the stock megabass (wired) headphones that came in the box with the x10. I have no problems answering the call and speaking using the hands-free.
I am on the generic UK R2BA020 firmware.
Any assistance would be great.
I don't know about the wired phone, but it definitely works for my mw600 that came with the phone..
I just tried calling myself using another phone while listening to music on mediascape through bluetooth..
so when the phone(regular) starts ringing, the phone beeps(maybe through bluetooth, i forget) and then the music stops, and then i hear the ringtone through the bluetooh a second after the music pauses...
and then when i stop the call, the music plays again
I use my phone to stream music to my car's stereo, and when I get a notification of any sort, it plays from my phone and then echoes through my car's speakers. This is rather annoying and I can't find a workaround. If I put my phone on vibrate when I enter the car, then I get no noise from either, and I'd never know if I missed a message or something. Just wondering if anyone has a method to force notification sounds through one audio output or another, not both.
LTE Galaxy Nexus, 4.0.4
JVC KDX50BT is my stereo, if that makes any difference

I would also like to know this. I have a bluetooth speaker at work and a bluetooth car stereo. When listening to music, it is annoying to hear the music cut out and play a notification for an e-mail or SMS message.
Have You guys tried to set notifications volume to none? There are surely plenty of programs that change the phone profile after for e.g. connecting to bluetooth device.
Sent from my X10i using xda app-developers app
ive seen a few of these on the forum and all over google but theres not been ONE complete solution.
when my headset/headphones are plugged in.. there should be NO sound emitted from the loudspeaker... i get my notification via the loudspeaker and my headphones...
i know if i turn on vibrate it will not play through loudspeaker but i also want the notification to play through the headset? and do not need to remember to turn my phone on vibrate everytime i plug in a headset...
any one have any ideas?
using resurrection remix 2.2, (same with stock)
surely there is a way to tell the system to play all media through headset if when on vibrate the speaker is off and media is playing through headphones
thanks!
Update
BUMP...
cmon theres gotta be a solution.. i mean if takser can make a notification play through the media stream.... should all notifactions be able to map them to the media stream so it plays in headphones???
got a temporary solution, got takser to put phone to vibrate and play a different tone when in headset through media stream. havent set up calling yet.
Can you try a Volume App. I forgot the name of the app before I that use to manually adjust the volume either for Headphone or External.
Anyone able to solve the problem that seemly all Android phones have?
- If headphones are plugged in and we get an incoming call, the ringtone will play on both speaker and headphones.
- If headphones are plugged in and we get a notification, the sound will only play through speaker.
What I want is that nothing comes out of the speakers and only through the headphones.
So far, I am able to use Tasker to put the phone in Silent mode when headphones are plugged in and then toggle it off when headphones are not in. Problem with this is that the phone won't vibrate or ring at all when there's an incoming call and the same with texts/e-mails.
Mine only does through headphones. Newts latest release and SlimROM latest.

That's weird cause I get notifications/ringer switched when the headphone jack is in use and then the speaker is used when the jack is not being used... o.o
I think you can try DSP Manager. If I remember correctly it has an option to control those settings...
I'm using latest SlimROM...I've had this problem with every single Android I've owned.
I'm guessing no one else notices this or has this problem.
I found a Tasker script that might work:
