Whenever I listed to Spotify using headphones or connecting it to Aux using headphones it pauses the music when a notification is received such as sms or whatsapp message. It plays the notification sound and then it continues the music again.
I am coming from HTC m8, and there under the same scenario it faded the music played the notification meanwhile and volume went back again.
This only occurs when headphones are plugged in. If a notification is received while playing through phone speakers it fades the sound the way it should do.
I am using Spotify as source.
I've read that some has disabled notification sounds completely while headphones are plugged in but that would make me miss any important texts/emails so the work-around is not appreciated in my case.
Another thing noted is that when headphones are used and a notification is played (such as sms received or whatsapp message) the phone plays the sound through it's internal speakers also, same time as my headphones are connected making the surrounding hear me receiving notifications all the time.
Is there any solution to the above two issues?
My Samsung S6 is rooted, and I am also running custom rom XtreStoLite 2.1 (5.1.1).

So I have a bluetooth stereo headset and loving it with my Transformer, about 9 of music play time without wires, just leaving it there while I move around working on things. The only issue is (pretty sure after the recent honeycomb update) right now when I'm using the bluetooth headset and I get a notification whether from my msn or email, the notification sound plays from the tablet and not the headphones, even though I have music playing. Before the update however, I did prefer it where I did get a notification, the music in the background lowers its sound volume to let me hear that I have a notification. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem or is there a way to fix it or is it just a firmware problem (build number is 8.2.3.13 atm) ;o I tried playing with the settings but no luck.
If anyone can help ^^; please and thanks
hey everyone, whenever I plug in my speakers on my inspire it starts randomly changing songs and fast forward them and sometimes the voice search pop-up and starts calling people, it works on some speakers but most of them it doesn;t
I've had this happen to me randomly on a few different ROMs. The issue was with the speakers being seen as a headset.
Unplugging and plugging them back in solved the issue and the headset icon in the notification bar was replaced with the headphones icon.
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

I know that in CM 10 and 10.1 when a wired headset is plugged in, all of the notifications/ringtone volumes are sent to the headset only (and not played through the phone speaker). Does anyone know how/what needs to be done on other ROMs for them to work the same way? Is it a simple fix? I am currently running Beans 9 and it's sending the notification sounds to the speaker when my headset is plugged in. I've tried SoundAbout app, and that does send them to the headset only, but the sounds play at the 'media' volume level and not levels set for ringtone or notifications, which can be quite startling.
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.
