Headset and rintone problem - please post your experiences

Alright, don't know when this started but I currently have Duttys HGR1.
The problem is that when I have the standard headset (that came with the TD2) the ringtone is played in the headset, so if I have the phone on my desk I can barely hear when there's an incoming call. Worse is, that if the phone is in another room I can't hear it at all.
I have tried different headsets but all with the same problem. When I unplug the headset it's all working as it should.
Can you please post your experience on this, how's it working for you?

I haven't experience it with my TD2, but for me it's OK like that. It was just like that on my previous phones, Nokia, SE...
Logicaly is if you have attached headset that headset should be on head and listening, not disturbing anyone arround.
This is my thinking, I would like to read others also.

uhm...just unplug your headset while sitting on your desk? or any time you AREN'T using it...seriously, the effort of plugging in a mini USB jack is...minimal...to say the least.
I use bluetooth stereo headphones that have such good ear buds, that if my phone WERE to ring loud and not via the headphones, i wouldn't hear it!

Thank's for you input guys.
Might sound like a non-issue but to me it is since I have to connect and disconnect the headset maybe 20 times a day and eventually the usb-port will give up.
I could understand that this is the way it's supposed to work, but before upgrading the ROM (I think that was when this changed) it worked just like I wanted it to.
So my hope is that there is a registry setting for this. If it is, please share! That would really help me out!

Leban,
I can sympathise with you. I have a similar problem. In my car, my car cradle is an FM transmitter and charger. Therefore, my TD2 thinks it is a headset, so all sound is sent through the transmitter. This is great if I am listening to music through the car radio, but often I am not. Therefore, the only way I can tell if there is an incoming call or email or SMS is by looking at the screen. I would like the sound for these notifications to come through the external speaker even if it is connected to the transmitter.....
We all use our phones differently don't we, so Drag-on, don't assume we are all like you.

i completely agree, i just couldn't think of a practical, real-life example where one would need to change where the ring came out of. You did that for me
I am quite sure it IS do-able...i'll ask around.

Nothing new here? Would be really great if this was possible to change!
This "feature" drives me crazy
Another example is when I'm in my car, if I have the phone enxt to me I can't hear the ringing. And NO, I don't want to sit for hours in my car with the headset in my ears

seprate speaker and headphone volumes

I have this issue, but wouldn't really call it an issue. If I've stopped listening to music, I turn off music then take out earphones. For me its not a big deal personally

Not ringing through speaker while headphones are connected?

I encountered a problem: When the head phones are connected and I get called, the ringtone is played only in the headphones. This an annoying problem, because I got used to my old phone ringing via the headphones and the speaker at the same time.
Has anybody else encountered this problem? Is there any fix?
Oh, and please don`t give any "advices" like "unplug the headphones while you`re not using them" because it`s silly to plug/unplug your headphones every time you take your earbuds out of your ears (maybe i`m not even listening to music, but I want to talk using the hands free device).

"It's not a bug, its a feature!" ;-)
But to be seriously, that's the way it's meant to be.

Well, mine doesn't have this problem and both the earphones and speaker sound the ringtone.. are you using the original HTC earphones that came with your phone?

Interesting, the problem appears even when I use the HTC headphones, not only my other headphones.
Maybe i`ll try a hard reset next weekend.

I say good, handsfree private calling should be through headphones or carkit ala nokia operation.

After turning off and back on again, it seems that the problem has disappeared.
I don`t know why, but it works as intended now.
Thanks for the help, guys!

[Q] Earphones Mic too low volume

From Day one i have been trying to get good earphones with Mic for nexus 4
tested out more than 6-7 quality earphones with mic like J6M, Klipsh, etc
but the microphone volume on the other end of call is too less compared to apple ear phones( recently switched from iphone)
I have to keep the mic piece really close to my mouth for a good conversation...
can someone help me here.. the mic on nexus 4 works perfect but when i connect earphones the problem begins... i used mic sensitivity apps to test and they pick very less volume from the connected mic
How do i boost the mic sensitivity on earphones or should i return the phone

Will try with my skullcandy's and revert

I'm having the exact same problem - did you find a fix?

I tried quite a few.. expensive as well as cheap ones. finally i got hold of a cheap ear phone set and the volume to the other end is good to be heard (as I have been reported).. While trying them all, I was calling my friend and asking him.. so thats how I know i picked the best one. However, since it extremely loud.. i kinda have to keep it away from my ear a bit and volume on phone is turned down to minimum.. Plus, due to its sheer loudness, I can hear the buzzing sound.. For the first time i noticed it, i.e.: through these extreme loud ear phones. The other party hears it too. Never heard it while on call directly using the ear piece. Strange.

Do you mind me asking which brand headphones you are referring too here? I have the same issue.

I bought from a local shop. It was a knock off of beats audio. The sounds it throws is EXTREMELY loud.

Is it just me, or does the OP make very little sense? I'm completely lost at what he's trying to ask.. Something about the mic? or the sound output of the "earbuds"?
No trouble here with any of the wired earbud sets I've tried. Clear as a bell and no buzzing.
If its so Loud for you, what are you not adjusting the volume? Would kinda of make sense to do so...
Or you could upgrade in your tech and get a bluetooth earbud.. I have absolutely no problem with volume levels from my Jawbone; I'm hear clearly and I can hear them just find (even when driving with all windows down, it sounds like they are right next to me yelling)

Nope, it's you. OP was referring to the mic volume on the headset being low, but in filthykids response, he mentioned that the headphones that solved the quiet mic is also very loud on the earpieces.
Also having the same problem, BTW.

Speaker phone... Only one speaker?

So both my speakers seem to work fine when playing media, but I just noticed that only one speaker (the bottom one) works when using speaker phone. Is this normal?

Same here, it is probably a safety feature in case you put it to your ear and forget it is on speaker phone.

Seems to be. My phone does that.

Seems normal...

seriously hope this is something that can be hacked. would love to have both speakers functional during a speaker phone call... especially when in the car.

I seem to have sound from both speakers while on speaker phone but the bottom is much louder. Guess also it's because it's not stereo. Both speakers are equally loud while listening to music.

Same for me, on speakerphone I only get the bottom speaker but I get both in normal media playback. Glad it's not just me.
It's annoying because the speakerphone volume in a car is pretty low, and it could potentially be twice as loud with both speakers.

Same here chaps

Same problem here also
My Nexus 6p does exactly the same thing, only one speaker works, the bottom one when using the speaker phone and even in Skype.
I hope this is not intentional and will be changed.

This is also happening on Moto X Pure so it might be an Android feature to disable stereo during speakerphone.

I'm pretty sure it's already been done, it's a mixerpaths.xml edit. It's in one of the threads created here already; you'll have to do some searching to find it. It's never really bothered me though since I don't use the speakerphone function very often, and when I do it sounds loud enough to me with a single speaker.

I might have been mistaken, or remembered readings something differently. If you are seeking more volume when on speakerphone, then you can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/mod-boost-call-handset-volume-t3329419

My Axon 7 uses both speakers during speakerphone calls.
