Play music on earphones while phone on vibrate?

I keep my phone always in vibrate (i like it this way) but everytime I use AudioManager to play music I need to turn the volume up in the system for music to be played through the earphones and then turn it back to vibrate when I finish.
In all the devices I have used before (Symbian, iPhone, simple phones, etc) playing music over the earphones always worked in silent/vibrate mode but in the HTC Touch 3G the speaker/earphone volume seems to be linked to the same control. Is this at all possible? maybe with a reg change?

you should be posting questions in "questions and answers" thread
please take care
for your question keep ring volume zero and system volume full
and set your ring style to "vibrate and ring"

thanks for your suggestion but it does not seem to work fully - I did what you said but when I receive text messages or the battery is low the phone still plays these tones in loud mode, i.e. the phone is not silent. I would like to have the phone fully silent and still play music through the earphones (just like every other phone does; symbian, iphone, crappy phones, all phones)

If you make a ".MP3" or ".wav" with nothing (no sound) in it.... you're phone should play the sound (nothing!) and vibrate.... and lateron music starts playing again at normal volume.... not so ?

that would probably do it - it just seems like such an effort to do something which is so obvious and all other phones can do

There is an App by merlot called mPlug, it might fit your needs http://dev.etechniker.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=48&Itemid=83

Try changing all of your notification options (in the Sounds & Notifications page) to vibrate only.

Automatically switch back to aux audio after bluetooth call

It's a pretty simple question, as a new android user, I'm trying to figure out if there is any app or ability for me to override the default of my phone switching to bluetooth hands free in my mazdaspeed3 and then remaining on bluetooth audio after the call. I'd like it to switch back to aux audio out and begin playing back smoothly.
I've searched high and low for an answer on this forum and google with no results on this topic. Shed some wisdom on this if you can. Thanks in advance!
<edit> I can't change this type to a "question" topic, hit the button before I realized this option was available. Could an admin update this to a question topic if reviewed? Thanks

Sound switching automatically???

Hey guys, I got a problem with my galaxy core 4g. The thing is when i'm listening to music (doesn't matter if headphones, it happens even while on speaker) and when i open settings, the phone automatically changes its sound profile to sound+vibrate and mutes media, so everytime i have to set the volume again and change profile manually. Also when I'm done with configurating and wanna go to home screen the profile changes again and mutes media... Plz help me, cuz it's a pain in the bottom part... The phone is rooted. ;c

Hi there,
Please wait until mods will move this thread to the device specific forum for more relevant answers.

Music app choice when headphones are plugged in

Hello,
Previous versions of Touchwiz brought up a list of apps, in the notification panel, that could play sound when I plugged in earphones/headphones.
On my 5.1.1 SM-G920F, there's no such list or any music player pop up whenever I plug in earphones/headphones.
Is there a way to enable this behaviour?
Thank you.
PS: If the answer's in a thread, please be kind enough to direct me to it, thank you.

Post any way to play notification sounds through phone speakers while connected to earbuds.

I've been very pissed of by missing notifications just because I wasn't wearing my earbuds and they weren't in the charging case or turned off.
All I want is to someone help this global crisis get solved. Literally been licked out every forum for solution but haven't found one. We don't know google will fix this in future or not like samsung did with their samsung assistant app which hasan option to divert notification sounds to phone speakers while in ringer mode.
I am really hoping someone will either raise a solution for this or just let google know that this needs to be fixed now.
Please list down any proper solution if you have one
PS: Don't suggest turning the Bluetooth off from phone settings, that's not a full proof solution.
Thanks in advance!
