Between some of the recent updates, there was an audio switcher in my notification bar. Sometimes when my phone connects to bluetooth some audio apps like 8tracks will F up and play through the phone's speaker rather than bluetooth speaker. There was a pick list in the notification bar that let me switch the desired speakers back to the bluetooth speaker. That seemed to have disappeared with the most recent update. Any way to get it back?

The phone is connected to my car via bluetooth. Whenever I use the Google navigation (it happens to work just fine) and receive a call, the GPS audio starts blasting through the car speakers (while I'm on a call). There is no way to route the nav audio to car speakers otherwise or shut it up while on a call and driving. This "implementation" is nothing if not completely idiotic..
Anyone know of a workaround?

Are you saying that the navigation audio continues while you are on a phone call? I guess a workaround would be to manually mute navigation audio when you get a call.
If my interpretation of your post is correct, that sounds like a bug more than an implementation. How terrible.

==================
Yep! And it so happens that by default that horrible, metallic voice is much louder over the car speakers than the voice of your calling party.

==================
I'm not sure that screwing around with the phone to adjust only the nav volume, while talking and driving may be a viable option for everyone (anyone?). Not safe.
This really is a bad oversight by Samsung's product team.
Do you play music while using google navigate over BT as well? Is that possible?

This could be a Google NAV bug - it is in Beta still. Also, Samsung can't test every 3rd party app.
One way to lay blame would be find other apps that can do BT Audio and see if they exhibit the same behavior.
Other Nav apps let you automatically mute Nav when in a call, but Google Nav does not. Also, Google Nav seems to have it's own volume control - when in nav - adjusting the volume says "Nav volume" - so maybe you can turn down the nav volume and turn up the BT and Call volume to balance things out - doing this before driving is certainly safer.

Agreed. But Google Nav cannot be considered just another 3rd party app (neither can any other Google app on an Android phone). I think that at this point, with the way it now works, it would have been better to leave the nav audio over BT disabled. I can deal with it, you can deal with it, but there will surely be someone may crash their car while dealing with it.
I think this is my problem when it comes to the music players (Pandora, Music, etc.). It seems like whenever I get the headset w/mic icon in the status bar, it constantly hits next. But when it just shows the earpiece icon it seems to work fine...is there any sort of explanation for this. Perhaps a way I can disable that whole feature?
PS...Running Inspired ROM (modified stock)
[SOLVED]
Hardware is ok. I can play music without any problems. Plug headphones = headphone. Unplug headphones = speaker. No rocket science
Now, xabber, jabiru, trillian produce no sounds. From inside those apps, I can choose the notification sound. It does through system, but i can use total commander, too. When I choose the sound, it plays :/ but when it is supposed to play, afterwards, it doesn't.
I should notice that skype works in tablet mode, only. If I chose phone mode, it will try to play through inner speaker. This tablet only has one loudspeaker.
Maybe I can get a tablet version of xabber and/or trillian? Any other ideas?
Oh, I almost forgot... This device is a titan 7009 (chiney), android 4.0.4

Thanks!
I forgot to mention that i tried soundabout. what a great app, unfortunately it doesn't help solving this issue
SOLVED. ICS notification switch in notification drawer
SOLVED!
If your android notifications lack sound, try Enabling Notifications:
1) Pull down (smartphone) or open (tablet) the notification drawer.
2) If you can't see the notification slider there, press the configuration button that expands the drawer hosted configurations
3) Move the slider to "ON"
This solves notifications that have no sound... for me at least.
I had ruled out hardware: playing music worked ok.
I had ruled out volume: automateit can configure all volume channels separately.
I had narrowed to notifications: neither custom nor real notifications ever played
Is there a way that when you're playing music through a Bluetooth speaker that the notifications don't interrupt the music, apart from setting the phone to DO NOT DISTURB?

Bluetooth device should have 2 options available: Media Audio and Call Audio, disabling Call Audio for that specific BT device.

Yes I did that, but notification sounds still come through the Bluetooth speaker, what is the separate sounds feature suppose to do?
Putting the phone on vibrate works. My phone for the most part stays on vibrate all the time and notifications never interrupt.
I'm on the latest P beta but this has happened on all versions even O. Whenever I'm connected to a Bluetooth audio device, I get no notification sounds out of the phone. How do I fix this?
Bump
same problem but only since Android 9.0 Beta .
Cant believe only 2 of us has this problem.
Bump
How is no one annoyed with this
You are not the only one bothered by this....it's about to drive me bonkers. I am glad to see it isn't just my device. The way things are acting, it looks like notifications are tied to media volume. I hope this is a bug, and not the way things are going to be going forward. Not a bad deal if you keep your earbuds in all the time, but I, for one, wear mine draped around my neck until I'm ready to listen to media or make a call. I have posted on the google help pages too, with no response.
No sound notification at all when connected to Car Bluetooth. Not on device or Bluetooth speakers since upgrading to Android P
Pixel 2 XL
Same thing here on Pixel 2XL after Pie update. No notification sound in Plantronics Bluetooth headset. I have a custom notification sound file. At first I also had no notification sound on the phone speakers, but after I changed the notification sound back to a factory selection and then back to custom file I do now have the sound notification on the phone but still not over Bluetooth.
I'm having the same issue, has anyone figured out a fix for this.
shocking that Google cant sort out **** on their own flagship device. Android is fast becoming a tangled, complicated, gloopy mess.
Seriously nothing?
I have the same problem since upgrading to 9.0. Running on an original Pixel. I also have video playback issues where, if the app supports PIP (like YouTube) it will just automatically set the app to PIP on its own. If the app doesn't support PIP (Facebook, Chrome) and video is playing, it just goes to the home screen. It resumes when I reopen the app, but it's really annoying.
Same here, while connected to my Bluetooth headset all sound and notification goes to the headset. Definitely annoying, the only thing I could do was send Google feedback.
It seems I'm having the less common issue of the sound of the notifications just being flat out low volume when connected via bluetooth. LG headset. Pixel 2 XL. Same configuration since day 1 of phone release. After Pie update, when headset is paired, I often miss any notification sounds. Like they are set to 1% or something. Calls ring loud and fine. Music, video, podcast volume playback fine. I've adjusted all sound volumes to max paired and unpaired, developer options, forgot device and re-paired to no avail.
I ONLY get the notifications when setting the car audio to media (when streaming BBC radio, Google Music or PowerAmp)
This is a real problem for me, enough to switch phone as soon as I see a deal...
Will hop on.
Bluetooth is completely fcked in Android 9. It was working 100% in 7, then with 8 it killed connection to my car, and now with 9 I started to get bugs with headset as well. Every single day in the middle of the night my Bluetooth disconnects and YouTube starts to play at full volume through the speaker.....it's been crazy
That's on top of wifi issues. Pixel constantly crashes my router and automatic wifi turn on is broken in Android 9, was working fine in 8
No one?
???????
Seriously, this is incredibly annoying. I've been having this issue occasionally, but now I have it nearly permanently because I bought a Fitbit that uses BTLE to connect to my phone. If it's connected, I get no notifications at all. This is absurd. BT is so jacked up in Android 9 now, I'm almost tempted to---shudder---switch to an iPhone. This type of crap is incredibly frustrating.
