I've got a Navifly/Mekede Oreo PX5 unit for my MB B-Class, and I'm wondering how I can automate call handling with Tasker.
I'd like to save the current fader state and EQ preset when a call is started, and then effectively mute the rear speakers (using fader) and choose the Voice EQ preset.
When a call is ended, I'd want to return to previous fader setting and EQ preset.
Has anyone done this? TBH, I haven't fiddled with Tasker since 2013 so I'm a bit rusty.

Hello all,
I did some searches and didn't find a clear answer to this. The phone is an AT&T Tilt reflashed with a HTC based rom. The problem is when bluetooth stereo is enabled, ring/sms tones come out of the bluetooth headset rather than the back speaker on the phone. I have seen suggestions in other forums to uncheck the handsfree profile for the bluetooth heaset, however this does not solve the problem. That merely stops the headset from being able to answer and make phone calls. It has no effect on the ring/sms tones coming out the headset.
If we unselect the stereo bluetooth option, then the ring/sms tones come out the back speaker properly. But then we are unable to listen to music over the headset.
I have not yet tried BTAudio Toggle but plan to later (this is actually my wife's phone so I can't try anything at the moment). But is anyone aware of a solution that will put the notifications on the back speaker and leave other audio over the stereo bluetooth? I came across one post where the person was experiencing exactly this and wanted it switched to the behavior we are experiencing, so I know it's possible. I just don't have any idea how to get it to behave that way.
One odd thing is the alarm clock sounds do come out of the back speaker still. But they are not configured in sounds and notifications.
Thanks in advance for any ideas or suggestions.
UPDATE:
Using BTAudioToggle and setting the audio to the BT headset sends all audio to the headset as expected. Setting the audio back to the back speaker has mixed results. The clock alarms and the ring tone go to the back speaker. All other sounds (all notifications, etc) still go to the BT stereo headset.
I spent about an hour searching through the registry for anything that might fix this and was unable to find anything.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?

You now have what would be considered "proper" default behavior. The high priority sounds (phone call & alarms) will come across the speaker and everything else (music, email/sms/mms notification) will come over Bluetooth.
This is due to the following:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\*]
"Speaker"=dword:1
You'll notice that [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring] and [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Alarm] both have this value. Simply add the value to other sound types you wish to be duplicated on the speaker.
Cheers,

Thanks so much for your reply!
Do you know what category applies to SMS notifications or notifications in general?
I saw a reference to a "Notification" category so I created the key and added "Speaker"=dword:1 to it but this did not solve the problem. Did a soft reset to make sure it wasn't a setting that was only read at boot up.
The other sound categories listed don't appear to apply to SMS notifications or notifications in general. So although what you are saying clearly is correct, I'm still not finding the proper keys and values to add to set this the way we would prefer.
Again, thanks for your reply and thanks in advance for any further assistance.
Never mind. I was able to solve it. I added two other dword values to the "Notification" category, did a soft reset and it worked.
The added values were:
"AttenuationCategory"=dword:2
"InitVol"=dword:3
Both were copied from the "Ring" sound category.
Thanks so much for your help!
Same problem
I've got the same problem and was not able to solve it with help from the previous replys in this thread. Any idea how to get the SMS ring tones from the speaker of the phone rather than from the bluetooth handsfree set?

where do you copy these new values
I don't understand where these values should be copied to make the notifications work as I would like them to. Could you be more specific.
Can you tell me how many speakers 8310 has? When I play mp3 song from it (192Kbps), it plays sound from the speaker which is used for conversation. And the sound is not very loud (earpeace volume is set to maximum).
Is there only one speaker present? Should I avoid playing music, in order to keep the quality of the speaker on the level it is now, since I don't want to loose conversation sound quality?
Tornado has just one internal speaker
This is not true, it has two of them, one for the earpiece (very tiny) and one for the speakerphone, also used for the ringer. Just search the net for photos of disassembled Tornados or other HTC smartphones.
If you play music and do not have the headset connected, then the bigger speaker is used - and you can't kill it by playing music. The smaller one is only used for phone conversations. The volume level label "earpiece volume" is misleading - it always levels the complete system output audio level (it seems to be stored separately per profile or per situation, e.g. "in call" is remembered separately). It is usually set to full level. Applications (like media player) should not adjust this master volume, but their own playback volume only.
Hey guys, i'm looking for an app (or even built in functionality) which switches audio profiles dependent on what is plugged in the phone. Case in point, I have my ringer at max volume usually (noisy surroundings) but sometimes when I plug in my headphones to listen to music I forget to switch the ringer and when someone calls I get deafened. Very very annoying (yes my own fault but still), I was wondering if there's a way for the phone to switch profiles based on the fact that headphones are plugged in. Thanks!
Headset Profiler
Here ya go:

I was just having the same issue as you, and i installed this. Works perfect so far with FroYo on N1..
the problem here, I plug 3.5mm jack into two things... car stereo and my headphones. car stereo requires 100% volume where headphones need only 20% max.
I simply installed Quick Profiles and added few profiles, out of which these control the volume: "Sound - Vibrate", "Sound - Headphones", "Sound - Full".
Takes care of the problem, and is easy to use.
I've been looking around for awhile now and I was wondering if anyone knows a way of getting a Mono Audio accessibility feature added to the Settings on a HTC One X?
I do not need this feature for a bluetooth headset. I am deaf in my left ear so when I fire up Play Music, Pandora or Spotify I'm only listening to the right channel of a stereo output. Poweramp offers a mono feature and I could sync my music manually but that isn't a global setting on the device so it doesn't help with Pandora or Spotify.
I've also tried a stereo-to-mono adaptor and I hated how poorly the sound was reproduced. That would also kill the remote button so... yea there's that too.
This is an accessibility feature I first discovered on the iPhone 3Gs and I know GS3 also has this feature available in their accessibility settings.
Is there any way possible an audio mod or tweak could bring this same feature to the One X? Any input is greatly appreciated.
[EDIT] In DSP Manager, there is a setting called Headset Virtual Room Effect, enabling this merges seems to merge the left & right channels. IMHO it's not well documented but this essentially enables the GS3 or iPhone's "Mono audio" accessibility option. For people who are deaf in one ear like myself, this is an essential feature and I'm glad I've finally found it.
For those who are lucky to have two good ears, imagine listening to the Beatles "Taxman" with a broken left channel. That's a very drastic case where the music bed is panned left and the vocals and guitar are on the right. Modern records don't seem to be that drastic but every once in awhile I miss a bit of lyrics or a guitar solo that's panned left. With VRE balance is restored. :victory:
Anyone know of a way to disable auto mic level adjustment on Android? I use my phone as a guitar amp and use an iRig to connect the guitar to my phone. However, I notice that when I play with little volume, it sounds okay, but if I start playing loudly it'll just lower the volume like it has some noise gate. I also tried this while recording with my headphones' mic and it has the same effect. What can I do?
