Just wondering if anyone knows of a mod or a setting I might be missing to turn off the external speaker for notifications and ringtones while the headphones are plugged in as this is very annoying and defeats the whole purpose of using headphones. Thanks in advance.
it's been that way since I had my note 2

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 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
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.
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!
