Ok, so here is the Scenario, I'm in the gym and using my phone to listen to music...
First I put my phone on Silent (so it doesn't ring during my work out and annoy everyone around me)
Next I turn on Bluetooth and connect my stereo Bluetooth headphones to my phone
Now I'm listening to music and all is well... AWESOME
Here is the weird thing..... Whenever I get a call.... technically my phone is silent so it should not be ringing, right? But what does happen is first I get a beeping in my headphones, which is fine..... but then the Music automatically switches and it starts blaring through the phone's speakers, and this goes on until I either answer the call or ignore the call, then the music reverts back to my headphones as it was before the call.
My question, why does the music revert from bluetooth to the phone's speakers when I Get a call and my phone is on silent - Its sooo freaking annoying, this also happens with my bluetooth car kit. Any ideas whats going on?
Can't help you solve the issue but I do know for a fact my galaxy nexus did the exact same thing. I gave up on bluetooth.

I just started using a temporary fix.... I noticed this ONLY happens when the phone is on SILENT or VIBRATE (doesn't happen when its on RING since it just rings normally)....
So what I did was setup a Smart Action clause which when connected to my stereo bluetooth headset, which I pretty much only use when I'm working out, it will keep the phone on RING but turn the volume as low as possible without making it silent and it will also automatically switch to a very quiet barely audible ringtone!
This works for me!

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?
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.

I just upgraded to my Atrix 4G to Smart Light ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292347 and it works very well. :good:
I only met one problem
Normally, I use my earphone (no mic) during phone calls.
With this ROM, everything is fine when the screen is on.
When the screen is off automatically,
the sound is muted in the earphone, but the call is still on.
The sound is back when I turn on the screen.
Anyone has similar experience?
Is there some settings or tricks to solve that?
Thanks!

Im having a problem with my phone playing a dot sound everytime i recieve a text message when my headphones are plugged in. It plays through the headphones, pausing the music shortly, and it is really annoying. I have looked everywhere and i cannot find an option to turn it off. Any help would be great
Anyone? Is it just on my phone this is happening?
