I'm using an Onn ATV box, and I love having my bt headphones connected because I have terrible hearing,and this way others don't get blasted away by the absurdly loud volume. The problem is I can't just switch off the headphones without unpairing them altogether, and I can't turn off bluetooth without losing my ATV remote. Is there any simple device toggle app out there that would let me only disable/enable one/many device at a time granularly?
Bonus points for one with permission to display over another app so I don't even have to exit the video I'm watching to switch bt devices!!

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've been having an issue with Bluetooth streaming audio on every original development rom I've flashed. I'm currently running Slim-4.2.2 build 5.
The problem is that when I'm listening to music through my bluetooth headphones (LG Tone HBS-700) and an incoming call comes through, the music I'm listening to through my headphones comes blaring out the phone's speaker instead of being paused. This happens only when the phone is in vibrate or silent mode. If I have the phone in ringer mode, then the music will pause and the actual ring tone will play out the phone's speaker as it should.
I use Poweramp for local music and Pandora and Spotify as well. For some reason the problem doesn't show itself when I'm listening to Poweramp; only when I'm listening to Pandora or Spotify. (I haven't tried any other apps).
It's only incoming calls too, notifications don't play out the phone's speaker while in silent/vibrate mode during music playback.
A temporary solution for me is to set my ringtone to "none", but then when I have my phone in ringer mode, I have to remember to manually set the ringtone to the one I want and vice versa. I could use something like tasker to handle that, but I'd prefer to fix the root problem if possible vs. covering it up with a hack.
Has anyone else encountered this and hopefully been able to fix it? I'd really like to leave my phone in vibrate mode at work without the possibility of my music blaring out the phone if I get a phone call.
Not a single person has encountered this issue?

Have you tried an app called Soundabout? It is not just a bluetooth issue even with wired headsets this happens also. You will have to get the paid version for Bluetooth settings.
Yeah, I tried out Soundabout with the pro license. I messed with every setting and I couldn't get it to fix the problem.
I never use wired headphones so I didn't know that was an issue too. I just tried out some wired headphones to see if it behaved the same way and there's actually zero issue with wired headphones in relation to an incoming call on my phone. In silent mode, the audio continues to play out the wired headphones and I see a phone call on my screen.
As it turns out, now setting my ringtone to "None" doesn't work as a temporary solution anymore. Media audio from Pandora and Spotify will reroute to the phone's speaker for an incoming call on silent or vibrate mode. I'm going to try out Slim's weekly build 5.5. If that doesn't work, I'm going to check out a custom kernel. If nothing, I may need to revert back to stock as this is a deal-breaker. I can't have my phone making unnecessary noise in a quiet area in the slim chance I get a phone call.
Any and all solutions are welcome if anyone has any ideas or troubleshooting methods they'd like to suggest. Thanks!
same here on stock
i am getting the same thing and running a stock Droid Razr android v. 4.1.2
very f'n annoying when i get calls at work and i got jams playing and all the sudden just blares out the phone speakers.

Has this been solved yet?
Having the same issue with LG Tone+ using PlayerPro with local music. I don't know if it makes a difference (I guess I could test it), but I use last.fm to scrobble all music live.

I just got AirPods for my OnePlus One and while everything has been great, the only thing missing is pause/resume when taking them out of your ears. I've read conflicting reports about that feature working on Android, thus was wondering if any other 1+1 user has them?
Here is my experience so far:
- The microphone works in some apps, but not all, and not always.
- Pairing is like any other bluetooth earphone, BUT, you can also pair them to your Apple stuff and switching between Android/Apple is super easy (no need to re-pair)
- They turn on / connect as soon as you remove one bud from the case, which is super nice. This does not start playback so you don't have to hurry and put them in your ears.
- Listening to only one works (with the other in the case). Sometimes there will be a bug where the remaining bud will not register 2x taps to pause, but that does not happen often.
- 2x tap = pause/resume, even if you set it to Siri on Apple.
- 2x tap works 95% of the time (5% it doesn't register). That is true on Apple stuff as well though.
- Removing buds / putting them back does NOT pause/resume, at least not on my Android 6 OnePlus One.
- You can pair them to an Apple device once, then you can always connect them to that apple device from the airplay button or the control center thing.
- If you do that, it will auto-disconnect from the paired Android device.
- When you want it back on Android, you DON'T have to pair again, simply go into bluetooth settings and click on AirPods, they will connect back to your Android.
- This is MAJOR: even when you have the AirPods working on Android, the battery % shows up on your iOS device!! I still don't get how that works, but it does, and it is bloody fantastic.
It sounds like it's just software related as I've seen form posts regarding ear detection automatically switching from Spotify to apple music when the bud is reinserted. Maybe it's just a simple mod on the waiting (also the x2 tap doesn't work when the bud is out of ear which is evidence that the sensor is working)
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.
I cannot seem to figure this out. When I pair my bluetooth either to speakers, car, samsung buds if the "call" option is on under bluetooth settings the volume of the song drops in half and the bass is completely gone. To me it sounds like it's sending anything I play through a call channel? If that's a thing. The second I turn off the call option the full volume comes and bass comes back. Turning off call is not a solution as my car and galaxy wear app says my bluetooth is not connected without the call option on (which means the controls of my buds don't work). Does anyone else have this problem or have a solution?
