So I'm new to Android and I've had the GS3 for a few weeks now. I'm liking it so far, but I've noticed something about the GS3 that is kind of annoying..
When I have headphones or a 3.5mm cord plugged into the jack music plays through the headphones or car speakers fine. However, things like notifications, incoming call ringtones and even sms text tones all still play through the phone speaker. Even though it quiets the music through the headphones those audio notifications do not come through the headphones.
Is there a way to change this? Seems really silly.

Hi, not familiar with the GS3 but there are a number of Android ROM's but the basics are pretty much standard.
I would suggest playing around the Profile area rather than the Sound settings.
From your home screen Select Menu then Settings, or just Settings from your Apps page, then go to Profiles rather than Sounds, there is a myriad of setting there. Have a play around.
Hope this helps
Kind Regards

I have a hard time hearing the LG G2x's ringer even when using really loud or obnoxious ringtones. Is there anything I can do to plug my device into a System, PC, MP3 Player, BT Paired Speakers alone,et.. AND MAKE the Ringtone/Ringer come through these External speakers So that I can hear the ringtone on these really loud OTHER device's Speakers?
I have tried to just plug a 3.5mm (male to male) cord into an expensive MP3 Speaker system, and I was able to hear my audio (music, and application sounds) great, and loud! - but when I put a call into the G2x, the ringer/ringtone was SILENT. I don't know what else to do, there seems to be no options to force ringtone to ring through external speakers (even the PC would be fine if there was an app that had a type of UI on the PC for such a thing, I think mp3 players, or even ipod players may be an answer too, I just don;t know how ir could be set up,... But maybe I'm over-thinking this and it's actually something really simple that one of the more Android-tech-Savvy people can answer. I'm new to the Andriod scene and like the G2x, but I need it to be set to ring through LOUD speakers so I can hear it in another room if need be. Any suggestions would be great!

Hey, just got my Sensation today (loving it). Coming from 2 previous HD2's both using Cyanogen (primarily). Anyways, I've had THIS headset for a few months now, worked perfectly fine with my HD2('s) never had a problem. Now, with the Sensation, it works like it's supposed to with music and phone audio, everything sounds great. But here's the problem now, anytime an alarm goes off, or i get a text message, (not sure about calls, didn't get a call today while using the headset) or any type of notification sound (email, low battery, etc...) it plays the sound in my headset, but also from the handset as well, which, isn't a good thing, cause it's supposed to be a semi-quiet workplace, and it's kind of embarrassing when your sitting there quietly listening to Pandora, and Metal Gear Solid alert sound effects start going off when you wife texts you...
TL;DR: Old HD2 played ALL sounds through my bluetooth headset ONLY. New Sensation plays notification sounds in BOTH headset and handset.
Shameless self bump? Been a long while since I've used xda, don't remember if self bumping is frowned upon. If so, I apologize, but anyone have any ideas?
Also mini update. The same situation happens on my wifes mytouch, I get notification sounds from both headset and handset.

A solution is at hand
I had the opposite problem, in that I wanted the sound to come out of both headset and phone, and it was only coming out the headset. Problematic when both phone and headset were in my pocket...
Go to Home > menu > Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > Sound, and down a ways you'll see a section titled "Always play on speaker" with three checkboxes for Notifications, Ring tones & Alarms. Frob these and your problem will be solved.
Sound
I think this Sensation phone has a problem with its sounds in general. When i put a call on speaker witha the volume all the way up its still very hard to here the conversation. Has anyone had this issue?
I was hoping someone could help me with a solution to the known issue android has; notification sounds get played through the external speaker when headphones are connected. My ideal behavior is for the external speaker to be completely disabled when headphones are plugged in, and for all sounds to be played exclusively by the headphones.
I always wanted this myself aswell, haven't figured out a way either yet. Not sure if it is possible
my old HTC Aria would send all sounds, even notifications, through my bluetooth speakerphone adapter for the car. So, I could be listening to music, and hear my email notification tone, then the music would play again. I was using CM7.1 on the Aria.
So far, the Skyrocket does not do this no matter which ROM I've used. I will be listening to music through car speakers, then hear the phone speaker play my email notification, then my car speakers play music again. It's a bit odd. I haven't used CM on it, because it doesn't appear to be a "daily driver"...
Any word on if the thing will do it, or how to make it happen?
I'm fairly sure all my ROM's have done this. My stereo is a JVC.
One ROM and I wish I knew which it was, would even give my GPS a separate volume indicator so I could make the GPS much louder than the music.
None of the ROM's I've tried since then do that. They all put everything into one single Bluetooth volume.
I am using stock unrooted UCLE2, I think its called, and it works for me through the Bluetooth stereo in my Camry.

Our note ank skyrocket both do this. It has something to do with system media but i have not had time to look into it. Back when I was playing I noticed that if you use an app like zedge or video caller id to set the notification it plays over bt or headphones...if you set through system menu it plays through phone only Or sometimes you get both...

I've been having an issue with Bluetooth streaming audio on every original development rom I've flashed. I'm currently running Slim-4.2.2 build 5.
The problem is that when I'm listening to music through my bluetooth headphones (LG Tone HBS-700) and an incoming call comes through, the music I'm listening to through my headphones comes blaring out the phone's speaker instead of being paused. This happens only when the phone is in vibrate or silent mode. If I have the phone in ringer mode, then the music will pause and the actual ring tone will play out the phone's speaker as it should.
I use Poweramp for local music and Pandora and Spotify as well. For some reason the problem doesn't show itself when I'm listening to Poweramp; only when I'm listening to Pandora or Spotify. (I haven't tried any other apps).
It's only incoming calls too, notifications don't play out the phone's speaker while in silent/vibrate mode during music playback.
A temporary solution for me is to set my ringtone to "none", but then when I have my phone in ringer mode, I have to remember to manually set the ringtone to the one I want and vice versa. I could use something like tasker to handle that, but I'd prefer to fix the root problem if possible vs. covering it up with a hack.
Has anyone else encountered this and hopefully been able to fix it? I'd really like to leave my phone in vibrate mode at work without the possibility of my music blaring out the phone if I get a phone call.
Not a single person has encountered this issue?

Have you tried an app called Soundabout? It is not just a bluetooth issue even with wired headsets this happens also. You will have to get the paid version for Bluetooth settings.
Yeah, I tried out Soundabout with the pro license. I messed with every setting and I couldn't get it to fix the problem.
I never use wired headphones so I didn't know that was an issue too. I just tried out some wired headphones to see if it behaved the same way and there's actually zero issue with wired headphones in relation to an incoming call on my phone. In silent mode, the audio continues to play out the wired headphones and I see a phone call on my screen.
As it turns out, now setting my ringtone to "None" doesn't work as a temporary solution anymore. Media audio from Pandora and Spotify will reroute to the phone's speaker for an incoming call on silent or vibrate mode. I'm going to try out Slim's weekly build 5.5. If that doesn't work, I'm going to check out a custom kernel. If nothing, I may need to revert back to stock as this is a deal-breaker. I can't have my phone making unnecessary noise in a quiet area in the slim chance I get a phone call.
Any and all solutions are welcome if anyone has any ideas or troubleshooting methods they'd like to suggest. Thanks!
same here on stock
i am getting the same thing and running a stock Droid Razr android v. 4.1.2
very f'n annoying when i get calls at work and i got jams playing and all the sudden just blares out the phone speakers.

Has this been solved yet?
Having the same issue with LG Tone+ using PlayerPro with local music. I don't know if it makes a difference (I guess I could test it), but I use last.fm to scrobble all music live.
