Playing music thru wired headset, incoming call forces play thru built-in speaker??

this is a major annoyance... I've had a Samsung i760 for a couple months now and have found it seems to have a serious design flaw.
I like to listen to music at work, through my phone using a wired headset (two way headset with mic). I work in a quiet office environment. I always set my ring to silent/vibrate while at work. If I'm listening to music, and happen to receive a call, the music will stop playing through the headset and will start playing through the built in speaker of the phone for all my coworkers and supervisor to hear.
The music would continue to play like this even after answering the call... I have to bring up the player and stop it manually. I was able to partially alleviate this by disabling the 'play in background' setting. With that, the music will still play through the external speaker briefly, roughly 3 seconds, before the player pauses the song. Which is still unacceptable.
I have tried TCPMP and Windows Media and had the same result.
Also, if I have the phone set to ring audibly, the ring is forced through the speaker as well, and the music I was listening to AND the ringtone will play at the same time for those 3 or so seconds.
what I'm hoping someone can help me with is a) a way to make ringtones play through the wired headset if possible, or b) at least keep the sound from being forced through the external speaker when the wired headset is connected and I recieve a call. As it stands, I either can't listen to music at work (a big part of why I bought the phone), or I have to turn the phone receiver off and risk missing calls. Either option sucks and is making consider another phone... though I don't know if this is a WM6 issue or an issue with this specfic phone.
any help would be greatly appreciated!

*bump* anyone?
any way thru the registry to disable the built in speaker alltogether while leaving the headphones operational?

On Acer s200, you can change the value of registry key HKLM\Software\Acer\Scenario\HeadsetIn to 1...
Maybe that can help...

No Sound in WMP or Audio Manager?

Hi All,
My Vox does not appear to output sound when playing in WMP (Windows Media Player) or HTC Audio Manager!?!?! The programs work and 'play' the songs, but not sound comes out!!
The speaker works, as the phone rings when a call is received. But I have noticed also that I cannot play ringtones in the profile menu also.
Plugging in headphone or Bluetooth headset makes no difference.
Anyone got any ideas????

check the sound settings! check the system volume(by buttons on right side)
ve had this too^^ got rid off it dunno how

Ok... did what I didn't want to do and did a hard reset which has fixed the problem.
My best guess is that it was the Kinoma Media player that I installed - but required registration and doesn't work in landscape...

It must be the third party media player
Yup,
I had the same problem when I installed GS Player and associated all audio files with GS Player. Even the Ringer was silent . But after hard resetting, everything was fine, then I reinstalled GS Player and made sure that I was not associating MP3,WMA with GS Player. BTW have you tried GS Player? Its free and pretty good too.

Using BT headset as "Audio Gateway"

I used an HP iPAQ 6955 (WM5) for nearly 2 years prior to my newly acquired Touch Pro. It had the ability to use my BT headset as an "Audio Gateway" which is EXTREMELY convenient when using a GPS NAV application as you get the directions in your ear, rather than through the phone's speaker.
I can't seem to find anywhere on the Touch Pro to enable this "feature"? My BT headset works great for calls, but I cannot get any other audio sent to the headset.
Ideas?

Go and look for BTAudio.cab. It's what you're looking for.

one bund the a2dp able headset to the pda
and go into bluetooth settings and tab and hold it
and choose wireless stereo headset
and all sounds are transfered to the headset

I am having the same trouble. I'm trying to stream internet radio from my Fuze to my car through the bluetooth. I can send/receive calls and everything is great but can't play music. When paired the option for Stereo Headset is grayed out and it only works as a regular earpiece. I have tried the Blue Music and BT audio with no luck. Neither one worked.
Any other ideas?

Have you done it (using BTAudio) the right way? You have to connect your BT headset FIRST and THEN start the BTAudio application and switch it to on. Don't forget to switch it to off afterwards.

Your car's bluetooth system may not support streaming audio. Mine does not, even though it pairs in stereo with my fuze.

I read the manual and it says that it does support streaming music if the phone supports it. So I assume there is something needed in the phone. I looked in the Advanced Config Tool 3.3 and under the Bluetooth category there are two services listed for Audio Gateway and that is disabled by default. Is that something that could be the problem?

Works great!

Finally got around to installing the BTAudio earlier this week, and it works great. I now get the GPS directions in my Bluetooth headset, as well as other audio alerts, like new e-mail and SMS alerts.
Only gripe is that after answering a phone call, you have to stop and start the BTAudio app again. Guess it's the price of getting what I want?

It might be. Enable it and see what happens.

Sony Ericsson MW600

Just been reading that the MW600 works on the Nexus One, but not sure about the Desire ?
Also, is it possible to get the song info displayed using either the built in media player, or a third party one ?

MW600 works on my desire fine for calls, i have not tried music to be displayed

Thanks. Does the music player work fine with it also (excluding display) ?

Please report if music is stuttering. I prefer to use bluetooth headsets for music, but if the A2DP stuttering issues are not fixed yet, I am staying away from them.

Can anyone confirm that the headset shows the songtitle on the Desire?
thanks

MW600 works fine as a music player and no stutters as such but i only listen for about 40mins each day. Still having a few issues with song information and odd controls using third party player.

Which third party player shows song information ?

@A|ex : "odd controls using third party player"
What do you mean by that ?
Could you do this functions : next/previous song, play/plause, volume with the mw600 ?

I have a (pre-release) MW-600. I can confirm the songtitles are NOT displayed with any of the pre-installed players. Play, pause, next, prev,ffwd frev do work perfectly and the audio quality is very acceptible once u switched the earbuts (not sure if they'll be better in the retail package).
Also what is NOT currently supported is the 'low latency'-mode (A2DP without error correction). Therefore you can notice that audio and video (or games) are not perfectly in sync (a small audio delay is noticeable).
I am sure Android 1.6 in the Xperia X10 will have these issues covered, since MW600 is shipped together with it in some retail packages - hope SE will be kind enough to share these bluetooth profiles in Froyo ... (or HTC will catch up, afterall HD2 supports all of the mentioned above).

I have seen the X10 used with the MW600, and phonebook lookup does not work on it either.

how do you stream music to MW600? I paired my MW600 to Desire, but when I play music there is no sound in the headset...

I can confirm that SonyEricsson MW-600 bluetooth headset works beautifully with HTC Desire. Tried to see how far away I could play music (through Spotify) and it didn't make any hickups at all about 25 meters away!

i'm also having problems with my MW600
the desire will pair to it, although it never asks for the pin ..but wont connect. so i can't transfer phone audio playback to the headset . useless
think maybe i have a faulty unit.
wont connect to my SE W610i, nor my ps3 ..errors out.
hmmmm
got mine from AccessoryJack ...

It should do it by default if its pair to the device, you can tell if its paid as the bluetooth icon on the phone has small triangles next to the bluetooth icon and hte mw600 has a picture of a phone on to say its paired.
if you play music via default music app or other it will stream/ play to the headphones.
it works with spotify, lastfm, mp3s etc fine.
If someone calls you hear the beep, and it auto holds the music.
Do you have the volume turned up on the device? I changed my headphones for better as the default ear pieces were so uncomfy and cheap.

I was thinking when u use a blue-tooth headset will you lose your FM radio functions?
Because the wire of normal earplugs functions as the antenna for the FM radio?
I'd really want to know this because i listen to the FM radio allot so this is a really important thing to me.

I managed to pair it and stream music (I think battery charge wasn't enough when I was trying to pair it for the first time), quality is pretty good for me...
But I found the following BUG: when I have incoming call while listening to music (I use standard Desire music player), I can't hear caller's voice. If I stop music and call back, than it works fine.
Can somebody test it?

i juz got the MW600 today from mobilecityonline, but i got a few problems...
1) how can i pair MW600 with windows 7?? it keep sayin driver not found...
2) when i paired it with ps3, it doesnt stream any music or video sound at all which the ps3 is playing...
3) how can i get song title display on the screen when i pair it with my X1?? i tried using WMP, CorePlayer, and the experience panal... but all doesnt work...
4) i do c a clock once in a while, but the time is wrong, wat is the excatly buttons to display the clock and set the clock??

This works fine for me using hte standard HTC music player, Do you pair the device to your phone as does it display as being paired on phone and device?
you should here the beeps in your headphones when someone is trying to call.
When they do call it sounds as if htey can hear you but you cannnot hear them, are you sure your using the device mic or the phone mic?
It sounds to me your device is not paired correctly or you have connected device to the phone.

What mode are you using to pair it with windows 7, this is not the win7 forum!
2) when i paired it with ps3, it doesnt stream any music or video sound at all which the ps3 is playing...
Again what mode are you using and have you read the manual? Again this is not a ps3 forum
3) how can i get song title display on the screen when i pair it with my X1?? i tried using WMP, CorePlayer, and the experience panal... but all doesnt work...
Install smartWatchM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362218), why post about the X1 in the HTC desire forum?
4) i do c a clock once in a while, but the time is wrong, wat is the excatly buttons to display the clock and set the clock??
You will find the answer to the time displaying etc on your other device but not in the HTC desire forum.

[Q] Bluetooth audio streaming problem

I've been having an issue with the media audio streaming to Bluetooth on the Blaze, which I did not have on my previous phone (Optimus). I pair with a Soundfly View in my car, and use the app BeyondPod to listed to podcasts. On a "fresh" Blaze, the audio will begin to play/stream for a split second, and then stop (though the podcast will continue to "play" or advance on the phone). I can occasionally get it to do it again by clicking play, but never for more than that split second.
Through experimenting, I noticed that phone audio seems to be fine, as well as audio on the Music player. What I've found, consistently, when this happens, if I start the Music player, start playing some audio then pause it, then go back to BeyondPod, it streams fine. At least for a time, though I've yet to figure out exactly what "resets" this workaround. But when I'm unable to play, I have to redo this Music player trick to play the podcasts.
Any clue what is going on here, and any permanent fix?

Bluetooth streaming... I have been doing this for a few years using a slightly different method that I'll share here in hopes it might help. I know this is kinda unrelated to your app, but this might be a fix.
Connect any bluetooth headset (I use my PS3 headset)
Download an app called BTmono (its free and a very simple interface, on/off)
Press the on button
Now any sound you would of heard out of your phone speaker you hear on your headset. This lets you listen to music, audio books, videos, or whatever on your headset. When you are tired of it, make sure to press the off button on BTmono to go back to normal. Hopefully this will help or at least provide a temp fix for now. My boss just thinks I like to wear mine all the time, he has no clue I am jamming dubstep and listening to audio books all night

Well, even should that work, it's really the same solution...using another app to force the streaming which should be happening automatically if you're connected with the right BT profile.
I did forget to mention that I do use A2DP volume, which launches an app (BeyondPod) and adjusts the volume when BT is connected. I also used it on my old phone, so I doubt it's related, but...

Nobody else has any problems with Bluetooth from other apps? It's just me???
