I want incoming call ringtones to sound over the speaker, even when the headset is plugged in.
I have two Galaxy Note 4 phones, both on Marshmallow. and similarly configured. One phone is OK, but the other switches the ringing to headset whenever it's plugged in. (the problem appeared only after upgrading to marshmallow. Lollipop directed to speaker, just like I wanted)
I installed Soundabout but routing incoming call ringtones to speaker (when headset is plugged in) did nothing.
However configuring all MEDIA to go through the speaker did the trick. Problem is, I only want the ringer to sound there, not all the music I listen to.
Any ideas?

this is a major annoyance... I've had a Samsung i760 for a couple months now and have found it seems to have a serious design flaw.
I like to listen to music at work, through my phone using a wired headset (two way headset with mic). I work in a quiet office environment. I always set my ring to silent/vibrate while at work. If I'm listening to music, and happen to receive a call, the music will stop playing through the headset and will start playing through the built in speaker of the phone for all my coworkers and supervisor to hear.
The music would continue to play like this even after answering the call... I have to bring up the player and stop it manually. I was able to partially alleviate this by disabling the 'play in background' setting. With that, the music will still play through the external speaker briefly, roughly 3 seconds, before the player pauses the song. Which is still unacceptable.
I have tried TCPMP and Windows Media and had the same result.
Also, if I have the phone set to ring audibly, the ring is forced through the speaker as well, and the music I was listening to AND the ringtone will play at the same time for those 3 or so seconds.
what I'm hoping someone can help me with is a) a way to make ringtones play through the wired headset if possible, or b) at least keep the sound from being forced through the external speaker when the wired headset is connected and I recieve a call. As it stands, I either can't listen to music at work (a big part of why I bought the phone), or I have to turn the phone receiver off and risk missing calls. Either option sucks and is making consider another phone... though I don't know if this is a WM6 issue or an issue with this specfic phone.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
*bump* anyone?
any way thru the registry to disable the built in speaker alltogether while leaving the headphones operational?
On Acer s200, you can change the value of registry key HKLM\Software\Acer\Scenario\HeadsetIn to 1...
Maybe that can help...
Yesterday morning i got my Tilt (Hyperdragon III ROM) off the charger and noticed that the bluetooth icon on the start bar was different. It had a headphone icon around it, instead of the headphone icon with a music note inside it. (I looked for pictures on the intertubes, but couldnt find an example).
Anyway, I'd seen the icon before, but only when I had a meeting reminder going off or if I accidentally activated voice tags. I thought it was odd, so I put my Plantronics 220 headset on and tried to play some music just to see what would happen.
For an hour, I was able to listen to music through my headset! When I got into my car to go to work, the icon went back to a normal bluetooth icon and my music switched to the phone's speaker. I think the reason it did that is because the phone automatically connected to the BT Speakerphone in my car. I've not been able to listen to music through my headset since.
I've tried and tried to make this happen again, and the only thing I can do is get 3-4 seconds of audio through the headset if I activate voice tags. I've read about a third party app that toggles audio output between the headset and the speaker, but I didnt have any interaction with any app when this happened yesterday.
Any idea how I was able to do that?
could be it hands-set vs. wireless stereo bluetooth connection ?
That's how mine delineates between the two...
No. If I go into the properties for my headset, the only profile is "Hands Free"
If I am receiving a call, the phone will sound the ring, but when I answer it the speaker go dead. When I try to play music, no sound is produced (although if I plug in headphones I find that it is playing). I think that problem is in headset jac cause while i was cleaning it, headphones were enabling and disabling automatically. Is it any software solution for my problem (app or script to turn off headphones auto plugging in)?
Sorry for my english
do u got any symbol in the notification bar if the headset or a pair of headphones are plugged? there are two different smybols for headset and for headphones.
if i got you right, there should be a prob with the female audio jack in the phone. it does not recognize what typ of headphones (headset or plain headphones) are plugged
I'm using Lenova Vibe p1. When i get it paired with my car's android system, if someone calls me i hear ringtone from both car's speakers and phone's speaker.
I want ringtone should came only from car's speakers. Is there any setting about this on android phones? (didnt find it)
I see -Phone audio, Media audio and Phonebook bluetooth profiles in bluetooth settings. All of them checked.
I don't know what I changed, but I can't figure this one out.
Typically, when I have my plantronics headset connected, when the phone rings,
I hear my default ringtone (unless it is someone I have a specific ringtone attached)
When my bluetooth is OFF, the ringer is correct.
When I turn on and connect my plantronics voyager 5200, I get a very obnoxious LOUD
generic ringtone coming from somewhere.
I've uninstalled anything I can think of, that might have messed it up (Truecaller, plantronics
app, Contacts +). I don't know what I changed, but I'd like to get it back how I had it.
Any ideas??
TIA!
Figured it out finally.
Phone dialer, settings, turn off VOICE BROADCAST OF INCOMING CALLS. Only when headset is connected.
