I love the feature that dictates incoming text messages to you over bluetooth. However, I just noticed that it will not play this when the volume is set to vibrate/silence. Now this makes sense for when you have this feature set to "always on" ect, but for bluetooth only, the handsets volume shouldn't play a factor.
I don't like ringtones on my phone much. I prefer it to be vibrate only.
Is there a way to hack this feature to work as I desire?

Is there a tweak that allows my HTC Fuze phone to ring when the phone is paired with at bluetooth headset? My phone sends the ringing to the headset and I dont have it on my ear all the time.
check the options in voice command. Sounds like you have it set to the default I think, which is "send sounds to bluetooth if available.
There are ones for phone, messaging etc...
Thanks, I will look into it.
I'm a new Atrix owner coming off a BlackBerry. I'm trying to figure out a way to set up ring profiles like the Blackberry had. Anyone know how to do that or if there is an app for it?
For example, on the Blackberry...a few profile types...
Loud: I could set volume high and set special tones for ringer, email, text, etc.
Phone Only: I could set a ring tone for ringer and everything else is silent.
Normal: I could set a different set of tones for ringer, email, text and set the volume on each.
Suggestions?
I too came from a blackberry and it's a bit of an adjustment. This phone has way more capabilities (other than the ringer profiles). I now only change between sound on or off. U can however still use vibrate only, or silent except for alerts and stuff. It takes awhile to fully customize this phone to your liking, but once it's done.....wow!
Ever since the Jelly Bean update on my GS3, there has been no way for me to globally control the vibrate function for alerts or phone calls.
With ICS, I could use AudioManager to choose between a few different profiles. My daytime profile had the volume up loud and vibrate turned on for all phone calls, sms, and other notifications. Then I had a night time profile that would turn the volume way down on everything and disable vibrate for everything. And I also had a silent profile that would only turn on vibrate, all sound was off.
In Jelly Bean, the same profiles work except there seems to be no control over vibrate. I can tell Audio Manager to turn vibrate off for a specific profile, but the phone still vibrates.
The only way I've found to turn off vibrate and still have sound is to manually go to each program that is set to vibrate (i.e. each gmail profile, sms, facebook, etc) and turn off vibrate individually.
Has anybody found a better solution to disable vibrate globally with Jelly Bean?
Besides AudioManager Pro, I've tried Llama and RingLeader. All three programs have a place to set whether vibrate is on or off, but they don't work in Jelly Bean.
I've recently downloaded Llama and am amazed that this app is free! I've set up the basics (turn on/off Wi-Fi when I enter/leave home/work, go on vibrate at work, etc.), but do you gents/ladies have any personal suggestions or tips on events I can set up to grease the wheels of my day-to-day grind?
Llama is a must have free app if you don't already use the paid app Tasker. Using cell towers as a battery-free location service is a great idea and more apps are starting to use that now.
My favorite uses for Llama are saving battery by toggling auto sync and fixing a pet peeve of mine: plugging in headphones and not realizing the volume is too loud. Second one is a bit tricky and needs to work in conjunction with the Sound Profiles you've already set up for Day/Night etc.Lastly, you can also use it as an easy way to change the brightness automatically throughout the day.
ex.
Auto-Sync
-When using Battery, Disable Account Sync
-When Charging, Enable Account Sync
Volume Control
-When any wired headset is connected - Change Profile to Headphones
-At Home between (Set Time){when wired headset is disconnected} Change Profile to Normal
-At Home between (Set Time){when wired headset is disconnected} Change Profile to Quiet
Am I the only one with the current bug that allows calls through even when I'm in silent mode? If it works for you what version of llama are you on?

Latest version and no such issue. There is the option to set certain contacts as "Noisy" and they will ring anyways even when silent.
Edit your Silent profile and make sure your ringtone and notification volume is set to 0.
some aids i use:
temp mute phone when using camera
start music when headset connect
kill musicplayer when headset disconnect
silent at work
only wifi at home
no problems with calls on silent
Hello,
I have a Galaxy S5 running CM12.1 and I am having a couple of issues using Tasker to control volume levels.
I have four profiles set up called Home, Out, Night and Work. Home is active when connected to my home WIFI network, Night is active when connected a power source between the hours 11-7, Out is active at all other times except between the hours of 9-5 Monday to Friday when Work is active.
The tasks in these profiles (among other things) change the phone volume levels.
The first issue is, when a headset is connected, the media volume always returns to the volume it was last time the headset was connected. It doesn't matter if you manually change the volume before connecting the headset or run the task to set the volume, it always returns to its previous volume. if you check the volume sliders to make sure they are correct before you connect, then you can see it jump back up again on connection.
The second is, I cannot set notification and ringtone volumes independently (Settings, Sound, 'Link Ringtone & Notification Volume' is unchecked). If ringtone is set to 6 and notification to 0, then notification stays at 6. If ringtone is set to 0 and notification to 6 then notification is muted.
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks

The volume returning to the previous level when you connect headphones is probably a setting in your media player or if you're using a sound mod such as Viper4Android then it might be in its settings.
As for the independent volumes, that is probably a ROM issue, the developer would have to fix it in his ROM, let them know of this issue by posting in their ROM thread or by sending them a PM.

Your media volume control is divided into the headset volume, and the loudspeaker volume. And they're not synchronized. So each will be set independently whenever you adjust them.
Your "media" volume depends on which of the outputs you're using at that particular time (Loudspeaker vs Headset) when the profile is triggered.
So the headset volume will always remain unchanged/unaffected by the tasker profile (unless the headphones are plugged in when you run the profile)
Unless there's a way you can have tasker explicitly identify and target the headset volume and the loudspeaker volume separately, then I don't think there's a fix for that particular issue.
I'm not sure about your second issue though. The first part seems to be a bug, but the second part is working as intended. Once your ringtone is set to 0 then your phone automatically goes to vibrate or DND/Silent. Which means no notifications
