I have a Moto Q Global and I have tried several different bluetooth headsets/headphones. They all play the phone's ring tone through the headset and the phone speaker when you get a call. Is there a way to have it not play any sounds through the phone's speaker. (only play the phone's ring tone through the bluetooth headset) THANX!
Hi,
in general I am very happy with my Sensation XE (latest Stock ROM) - but I have one big issue with the bluetooth headset during phone calls.
The BT headset (Plantronics Discovery 975) is paired and incoming and outgoing calls start perfectly on the headset.
The issue is:
when a notification (e.g. calender alarm, sms arriving) goes off, the sound is routed to the phone speaker and NOT returning back to the BT headset. This is quite annoying when you are driving and all of a sudden the phone call is on your phone speaker and no longer on the BT headset.
I have found no settings where I can force that during a call the sound stays on the BT headset and that e.g. notifications are broadcasted to the headset as well.
Anybody having the same issue? What/how do I need to tweak the phone to have the BT headset properly working.
Many thanks for any help!!
Partial solution found ...
Hi - after the wave of replies to my post, I spend some time again to work out / find a solution.
The solution for me is the app "Toggle Settings Pro" (costs a few bugs on the market). It seems to be the only (? - at least I had tried out a couple) profile switcher program where you can create a rule based on "Incoming Calls" / "Outgoing Calls". During a call a profile is switched on that sets the phone to Silent Mode. Works perfect, but the app has a little bug that needed a workaround.
I had created a rule that switches on the Silent Mode on trigger "Incoming Call - Is Connected". I had expected that it would switch to Silent Mode only if you accept the call (=> is connected) but unfortunately it triggers the switch already during ringing. Basically the phone did not ring any more because the Silent mode was switched on too early.
So I created another rule that gets triggered when "Incoming call - is ringing" and on pick-up of the call the silent mode is kicking in.
Sounds a bit complicated, but this is the solution of the problem for me.
Having a problem when making calls on bluetooth. The phone shows ringing on the other end but makes no ringing sound on my end. I can tell the other person has picked up but still no sound. The other person hangs up. I call back and then the call works fine. I have searched and not found anything besides clear bluetooth cache which doesn't show that option. Any suggestions as it has happened several times? Today is day 14 with the phone and hard to love it but hard to return it as well.
When I connect to my car's BT radio or my living room's BT speaker I am given the option to allow Phone, Media or both. I don't want to pick up calls via the speaker so I disable Phone. On my car I want to both be able to pick up calls and play music so I leave both options enabled.
Have you checked what options you have selected under BT settings?

Hello, my issue is that when i am receiving calls via bluetooth (either on the car or on my handsfree etc) the ringtone is never what i have on my android, but is the default of each device. Problem is, i am getting heart attacks every time someone is calling me when i am on my car as the default ringtone is extremely loud. Are there any options anywhere that i missed, which will enable me to change the default bluetooth ringtone when i am connected to other devices? Thanks in advance
bump!
There's no way of getting your 'chosen' ringtone that plays on your phone, to play on your bluetooth device.
Bluetooth devices that have a ring function tend to be a very basic phone, it doesn't have the features to install bespoke ringtones.
Hi,
I have a weird issue with what I would call - priority of Bluetooth devices in making phone calls.
Setup:
- Poco X3 Pro on the latest MIUI revision (12.5.2)
- car - Ford audio, Sync 3.4 patched yesterday to latest build, however the problem existed earlier
- Huawei Watch GT2.
Huawei Watch and Ford are paired with my phone.
The problem is affecting ability to use Ford's BT handsfree mode and talk through car's speakers and mic.
Issue #1:
- phone connected via BT to the car, no USB cable in use
- incoming calls - they are presented by car's audio system, I'm accepting the call, the conversation starts, car's audio (CD or FM radio) is muted but the call stays in phone, I need to manually pick up phone, go into active connection screen and move audio output to Ford BT device
- outgoing calls - same issue as with incoming calls
Issue #2
- phone connected with USB cable to the car audio system, Android Auto kicks in and enables BT in phone if it was switched off
- incoming calls - they are presented by car's audio system, I'm accepting the call, the conversation starts, car's audio (CD or FM radio) is muted but the call stays in phone, I can't use my phone, to go into active connection screen and move audio output to Ford BT device as it's now blocked by Andorid Auto, when I try to do the same on my car's touchscreen, using the AA phone app, Ford BT device is not even visible as available option
- outgoing calls - same issue as with incoming calls.
It happens very rarely that the phone connection audio ends up in my Huawei Watch.
When I turn off my Huwei Watch while driving the car - there is absolutely no issue, all connections properly end up in car's audio system.
I've found a workaround - found an app which presents a widget on the screen allowing to end and reestablish BT connection to my car. But as every workaround it has a drawback, I need to perform the operation twice, not even saying of taking the phone out of my pocket etc.
There was also no issue when I was using my previous phone LG G6 with Android Pie and AA installed from apk file. The car and watch were the same as now and there was absolutely no issue with phone calls being not redirected to car audio.
Can anyone share any insights on how to fix it ? It looks like some flaw in Android' or MIUI's logic to push phone call stream to the BT device which actually initiated/accepeted the call.
Thanks in advance for help.
Same here with a SEAT bluetooth system.
I discover that the problem is in the health app, if you disable permisions to telephone, contacts and registry of calls, it works, but you loose de number identification of incoming calls in the watch and you can't call through the watch.
Regards.
That's a huge lost TBH, do you suggest it's a bug on Huawei end ? Why did it work properly when I was using LG G6 on Android Pie ?
maybe....it's a bug with app of Huawei and android 11, i had a Mate 20 before the poco and never had this issue but the mate 20 have android 10...
P.D: If you see, when you make a call, the selector of audio source in the call panel variety very fast with watch and speaker...
regards.
Yes, I observed it too - when I answer the call, the audio output device selector makes some quick changes.
