Hi.
I'm looking for a solution that helps me with souond profiles. I would like to add a profile called "Work", where all communication on SIM1 is muted, and one called "Vacation" where all communication on SIM2 is muted. I don't want to turn off the SIM-cards,just mute them according to the profile I choose.

Is it possible to have the BT headset announce incoming calls but still have the phone ring with Voice Command 1.6?
Seems like it's an all or nothing deal so far... either ring and announce through the BT headset (by selecting "Announce Incoming Calls") or ring and announce through handset... Notifications work fine though. The handset would play the alert then the BT headset will announce the reminder.
Currently, when I have Incoming Call announcements activated and set up to announce over bluetooth, the ringtone would also be played over bluetooth and the handset is just silent.
I have to turn off my headset at night else I'd miss any calls while I am sleeping. While I love VC, this is one thing that's just been driving me nuts. Is it possible to keep the ringtone playing on the handset and announcements over bluetooth?
How VC handles calendar reminders is exactly the way I like it. Mine currently Rings on handset -> Announce over BT -> Ring on handset -> Ring on handset -> Ring on handset...
On a more minor note, is it possible to delay the announcements to compensate for bluetooth lag? I have a Plantronics 655 and it has a 1-2 second lag so always miss the first 1-2 seconds of whatever VC is saying. Calendar reminders being the most important since I would just hear "15 minutes".
I've tried modifying the HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0->Script Value and HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce->Script Value and the only things I was able to do was to have the announcement before the ringtone (by adding w3 at the beginning of RingTone0) and muting the announcement (by removing p from TTSAnnounce)
Edited the original post with more details...
Hopefully someone knows of a solution...
Hi,
in general I am very happy with my Sensation XE (latest Stock ROM) - but I have one big issue with the bluetooth headset during phone calls.
The BT headset (Plantronics Discovery 975) is paired and incoming and outgoing calls start perfectly on the headset.
The issue is:
when a notification (e.g. calender alarm, sms arriving) goes off, the sound is routed to the phone speaker and NOT returning back to the BT headset. This is quite annoying when you are driving and all of a sudden the phone call is on your phone speaker and no longer on the BT headset.
I have found no settings where I can force that during a call the sound stays on the BT headset and that e.g. notifications are broadcasted to the headset as well.
Anybody having the same issue? What/how do I need to tweak the phone to have the BT headset properly working.
Many thanks for any help!!
Partial solution found ...
Hi - after the wave of replies to my post, I spend some time again to work out / find a solution.
The solution for me is the app "Toggle Settings Pro" (costs a few bugs on the market). It seems to be the only (? - at least I had tried out a couple) profile switcher program where you can create a rule based on "Incoming Calls" / "Outgoing Calls". During a call a profile is switched on that sets the phone to Silent Mode. Works perfect, but the app has a little bug that needed a workaround.
I had created a rule that switches on the Silent Mode on trigger "Incoming Call - Is Connected". I had expected that it would switch to Silent Mode only if you accept the call (=> is connected) but unfortunately it triggers the switch already during ringing. Basically the phone did not ring any more because the Silent mode was switched on too early.
So I created another rule that gets triggered when "Incoming call - is ringing" and on pick-up of the call the silent mode is kicking in.
Sounds a bit complicated, but this is the solution of the problem for me.
I have an LG HBS-700 stereo bluetooth headset. When its connected, ringer sounds, notification sounds and alarm sounds play thru both the bluetooth and the phone speaker. Usually when I use my bluetooth its in a small public group setting where I need my phobe silent. Is there anyway to have all sounds just go thru bluetooth? Dont want to not hear certain sounds and notifications.
If this is impossible, then I know how to make a workaround in tasker for reading caller names and text message contents thru bluetooth. But is there a way in tasker to have it read the text of any notification I receive. For example, if my daily task list software reminds me "Its time to take a break", is there someway to get tasker to read that outloud to me? Or if I get an email notification from gmail, can I make a tasker read the contents outloud? Basically looking to have a tasker read outloud the text of any notification, assuming i cant get all sounds to redirect to bluetooth.
I recently got a Bluetooth headset, but I would like to know if there is a tool or program that will announce the incoming caller and the sender of text messages on the bluetooth headset. At the moment, I use Call Announcer Free, which works nicely, but it says the caller/text sender on the phone speaker as well as the headset. I only want the headset, while the notification plays on the phone because I don't want my phone to blurt out my girlfriend is calling me.
Example of what I want:
Phone call
- Phone Speaker: Ringtone
- BlueTooth Headset: Ringtone + "You have incoming call from X"
Text Message
- Phone speaker: Notification
- BlueTooth headset: Notification + "You have new message".
I have also tried the app that apparently was on XDA called "Talk to Me", but that sadly crashes when I give it a shot. It was exactly what I wanted - it had "route to BT only" mode, so the voiceover would only trigger on the bluetooth headset, not the actual phone speaker itself.
I appreciate any help you can give me.
Cheers,
IcedCube.
Hello, my issue is that when i am receiving calls via bluetooth (either on the car or on my handsfree etc) the ringtone is never what i have on my android, but is the default of each device. Problem is, i am getting heart attacks every time someone is calling me when i am on my car as the default ringtone is extremely loud. Are there any options anywhere that i missed, which will enable me to change the default bluetooth ringtone when i am connected to other devices? Thanks in advance
bump!
There's no way of getting your 'chosen' ringtone that plays on your phone, to play on your bluetooth device.
Bluetooth devices that have a ring function tend to be a very basic phone, it doesn't have the features to install bespoke ringtones.
