I have two issues what I don't know exactly how to resolve:
1) When I plug in the headset the volume is automatically decreased. But I want to have it set prior to the auto-volume decrease. How to achieve it?
2) When I have my headsets plugged in I want to hear the incoming calls and notifications from the speaker.
a) I figured out that I can set a profile with 'incoming call' and 'Headset connected'. This profile I need to create as well for notifications from Whatsapp and SMS additionally -right? So I have at least 3 diff profiles?
b) I can enable the speaker - fine. But when I pick up the call I wanna have them automatically on the headset - if connected. Do I need to add a new task when establishing connection?
c) more or less the question: do I need to split it up into several tasks and profiles or is it better to have them all glued together in one big

I have a Tilt and the 510 Voyager headset. I'm wondering if there's a way to do the following two things:
1. When the headset is turned on and connected to the phone is there a way that I can make it so that I can still talk on the phone? It seems like when the headset is turned on that the microphone and sound is muted on the phone, so you have to use the headset.
I want to be able to use either the phone or the headset at the same time.
2. If I walk out of range of the headset while it is turned on, then walk back in range, can I set it so that the headset will automatically reconnect?
1. You can switch from the headset to the phone during a call. It is one of the options on the "call screen". I don't believe you can set it to default, but you can just turn off bluetooth if you want the default headset to be the phone.
2. The headset should automatically reconnect when brought back in range. Try pushing the "pick up" button on the headset. It should automatically re-pair in a second or two.
Hi all-
I'm still fiddling with and hacking up my new HTC Fuze that I just got this week. One thing that I'm trying to find, but not having the best luck, is if there is any tool that anyone has built that will auto-change the sound and notification settings based on a connection of a BT device. For example, if I have my headset on and connected, it beeps in my ear when the phone rings, so I'd like to have the actual phone itself be silent in my pocket, then when I turn off the headset, the sound and vibration for the standard ringer is re-enabled. Anyone know of anything that does this?
Thanks in advance!
Not sure but I think SPB Phone Suite will do this.
You can setup different profiles and then rules, so if BT headset is enabled the headset profile is enabled, when the headset is disabled it'll drop back to another profile.
It's not free mind.
Hope it helps,
D.
Hello,
I'm totally new in this area (android). I have a Galaxy s for a week now, and I am generally very impressed by the phone. There are two strange (or even stupid?) things about the phone:
1. I used to have a Nokia 6500 (it is not even symbian 60, it's 40). There is a menu called "enhacement" where you can adjust what calling profile will be activated when a headset, handsfree etc is connected. For example, when I connected the (nokia) phone to the bluetooth car handsfree the phone would recognize that a activate the "car" profile which I had created. The car profile in my case had a specific (quiet) ringtone (that was transmitted to the car's speaker) and had the phone vibration disabled.
Questions: Is there a way to create calling profiles AND that the phone activates a specific profile when connected to the car's bluetooth handsfree?
Is there a way to transmit the phone's ringtone to the car's speakers??
2. The second strange issue is that if I set an alarm and switch the phone off, the alarm will not be activated at alll!! The alarm only works as long as the phone is activated!!!
Thanx in advance
Sadly, Google decided to make Android 9 stream every sound a phone can make to a connected BT device, no matter if that device is capable of playing that sound, and no matter if streaming every sound makes sense at all. This leads to not hearing alarms and notifications and it also means you can't hear directional instructions by you navigation app when your phone is paired to your car's radio for phone calls only.
And sadly, Lineage decided not to undo this not-so-clever idea of Google.
I know we had this discussion before, but being not able to hear my navigation app drives me crazy every day I need to use it. My company car is equipped with a BT capable radio, that can handle calls only. But as soon as the radio and my phone are connected, Android/LOS still tries to send every tone and every sound to that radio, resulting in silencing my phone completely.
I tried some apps that can redirect any sound in a way that they appear as a phone call to a connected BT device. But those apps block calls, and while I am talking to some one, there won't be any navigation instructions on the car's speaker either and I have to rely on optical instructions, removing my vision from the happenings on the road. These apps also make the radio useless as a radio: you have to keep it switched to BT input all the time.
How about the other way round? Is there any app that can make Android stop sending a specific audio output to a connected BT device? If it's possible to disguise even music as a phone call, I imagine it should be possible to tell BT to use the phone's speaker for a specific source of sound.
There is a setting in maps whether to send directions via Bluetooth

There's a similar setting in Osmand, which sends directions as a phone call to the BT device. But using this option will interrupt the paring for phone calls, so you can't have both, you have to decide whether to use hand free calling mode or to hear your navigation directions.
BT and its settings was a thousand times more sophisticated in Android 7 / LOS 14, when alarms and notification sounds where played over the phones speaker, while your music or calls was sent to a BT device. Now, in A8/LOS15 and above, all sounds are send to a paired and active BT device. So, if your ear phones are activated, and you put them into your pocket, you won't hear any text notification or any alarm. I can not imagine the poor way of thinking at Google's development department that has lead to this idea.
Problem is that notifications (only push sms) will not play through my phone speaker if my Bluetooth headset is connected (I use do not disturb and there is a conflict involving bluetooth). They only play through the headset. Android has no fix for this right now, I have tried EVERYTHING. I just downloaded tasker but don't have the time or patience right now to figure out how to learn tasker. I want all sms to play either through phone only or through headset and phone speaker and be able to specify the ringtone or notification tone. I would also like to make one particular sms to come through as a different ringtone or notification sound. Frustrated. Thanks
