I just bought myself a pair of Bose Quietcomfort 15's so that I can have undisturbed naps (with or without music). Only problem is I cannot hear my alarm on my phone because of the noise cancelation on the headphones. Additionally, the alarm sound that goes through to the headphones is not loud enough either. My question is: is there an alarm app that allows me to control headphone volume when the alarm goes off? I know I can independently control how loud my phone speakers are (regardless if the phone is on silent or whatever).
If not, is there another solution? Right now, I am keeping my phone in my pocket to feel the vibrations, but that alone might not be enough.
Also, keep in mind that even on the loudest speaker volumes, I can only barely hear the phone because of the noise cancelation.
Any input or alternative methods/tips is appreciated.
Oh, and I have a Galaxy S3.
Thanks,
Richard

I asked this in few other forums, but I was not able to get a response. When I have my wired headsets plugged in, I am still able to hear Ringtone/Notification and possibly other sounds coming out of the speaker. Is this the default behavior that is happening not just to my phone? If so, how do I change it?

I think this is the default behavior. If you put your phone onto silent, then can you still hear them through the headphones? If so, that's your answer. That is one of the few things I prefer on the iPhone - the hardware switch for silent. But it's just a mental adjustment to how silent behaves differently on the Android OS.
by silent you mean the button you see when you pull down the notification panel right? This silences all sound and I don't hear anything even from my headphones.
Like title says, for alarm as example would be nice if it has same feature as ShakeToWake. I always fall asleep with headset in my ears, but never hear the alarm xD.
And directly second question, someone knows a walk around to sound notification and cal ringing through speaker when headset is plugged in? I drive always with headset around my neck, but not in my ears. So never hear when someone is calling.

I have the official Samsung car dock. When I take a call on it via speakerphone the callers complain of severe echo when they talk. Has anyone else had this experience? Is there anything I can do about it other than go back to using a headset for calls?
I have the same issue while just using my phone on auxiliary with my car. It happens when your volume is up too loud, the microphone can remove the echo, but only up to certain levels. Try turning your speaker volume down a bit and it should help, if turning it down just a bit puts it out of your range of hearing, then you might listen to music too loud all day.
The voice of the caller does not come through the car stereo. Once I take a call the sound routs back through the phone's speaker. So it's the phone's speaker that is being picked up by the mic.
I wonder if the sound from the speaker is being channeled to the mic by the plastic of the car dock.
So I only noticed just now the Nexus 5 did not come with any earbuds. I have been using some cheap Skullcandy earbuds for music and they are decent enough to block out transit noise and play music at a moderate volume. However when I try making a phone call, at the lowest volume the sound is just ridiculously loud. It is painful for me to attempt to listen to more then 10-15 seconds of call audio wearing these. I also tried with my Galaxy Nexus earbuds, and it's the same story.
Has anyone found a pair of earbuds with mic that delivers gentle, quiet call audio at the lowest call volume of the Nexus 5 on stock ROM? Failing that, is there anything I can do to decrease the headset call volume further than the volume control will allow?
Bump, anyone else experiencing this? It shouldn't be deafening to make a phone call with earbuds...
OK I'm going to bump this again. It got WAY worse on 4.4.1. While I appreciate the volume boost for the phone's speaker, the earbud volume situation is out of control. The lowest volume setting on music, in a quiet room, is the loudest I can tolerate on earbuds - no option of turning it down lower. The lowest volume setting on phone calls is earth-shattering on earbuds - completely unusable for conversations unless I want to go deaf.
Is there ANY way I can force call volume down further on the headphone jack? Hacks, kernels, Xposed modules? I really don't want to be locked out of being able to make calls with earbuds.
All perfect with 4.4.1, skullcandy have a very bad quality earbuds, better buy sennheiser.

The sound quality is great, it's just too damn loud. Same with the earbuds that came with my Galaxy Nexus.
The call volume is ridiculously out of proportion with music volume. That is not the fault of the earbuds. The OS should not be pushing out call volume significantly louder than the music volume at a comparable setting.
OK, so a friendly individual in the Franco thread directed me to this:

I simply used the same instructions for the mod but reduced the number rather than increase it. For call volume, the value that I changed was under path name "voice-headphones". The original setting was 20 and 20 for HPHL and HPHR volume. I turned them down to 05. I thought I heard a reduction from 20 to 10 but did not hear any further reduction from 10 to 05. Then I also tried reducing the RX1 and RX2 digital volume. I tried taking them from 84 down to 64 which was maybe a bit low, so I settled on 70. At that setting, the loudest IVR systems I've reached on the phone are just right at the lowest call volume setting, and I still have room to raise the volume in noisier environments.
My previous Nexus 6P always had the alarm on speaker even if earphones were plugged in.
The OP6 just rings on the earphones. Is there a way to change that to always on speaker?
check the headphone mode setting plz
Thanks. Don't know how I missed that setting the whole time
