I'm sure most of you know what I'm talking about. If you recieve any notifications When listening to any audio through headphones (or through the mini usb port), the device pushes the notification sound through the speaker. This is fine when having a ringer enabled because I'd obviously want to hear the ring. What I dislike though, is when I have notfications (rings, text messages, etc.) on silent or vibrate, it pushes the audio that I'm listening to through the speaker still. I've always disliked this in WM. My PPC6700 did the same thing, but now I'd really like to know if there's a way to change this.
Now that I have an 8GB SD card, my Titan has started to become my primary mp3 player. I do FOH sound at a local club, and when playing music between bands, it's really annoying to have the music suddenlly cut out because a phone call is coming in. Likewise when I'm quietly watching MobiTV with my headphones on at work, and suddenly, Survivorman is blaring through the speaker because a call is coming in...You get the point. The ringer is off, but the phone still trys to let a ring through the speaker anyway, and since no ring is selected, it pushes any audio being played through.
I realize that this relatively simple problem probably does not have a simple solution as this is probably buried deep in the architecture of how WM handles audio gateways...that almost sounded like I knew what I was talking about; I can assure you that I do not . This is where you guys come in. I'm willing to test any ideas you guys have got. I don't care if it f&#*s up my phone...a hard reset isn't going to ruin my day. I'd just like a solution for this.
Ideas??
Thanks for your help and for this forum!..it has saved my phone more then a few times already.
Me too having the same problem. I listen to music via my bluetooth mono headset and these notifications (whcih I get plenty) disconnect the bluetooth audio gateway, forcing me to reach out to my phone and enabling the audio gateway again.
Yeah, I hate that too! I have the i760, one other thing on this phone I dislike is that the volume must be on to hear audio through my headphones. But there I am in a store listening to some rock at a loud volume, and there it is playing for the entire f'n store to hear when I get a call, thanks PPC!
Possible Solution!!!!
Might I recommend a Profiler. Like PPCProfiler. Just Google it.
What you could do is create a profile called music or what ever you want to name it. Then you could set up that profile to turn ringers on with the volume level you like and with or without vibration and select silent or vibrate only for the notifications. You could really but together any combination. I believe with PPCProfile you can even make a profile as a Headset Mode. So it will auto detect the headset and switch without having to do anything else.
Cheers.

Thanks for the reply, but a profiler isn't exactly what I'm looking for. I've had them before in previous roms. The problem isn't that it's an inconvienence to switch to silent or vibrate. It's that when things are silenced or on vibrate, any background audio is pushed through the speaker while the notification is going off. Meanwhile that audio that I want to be played cuts out of the path that I want it going through (ie. headphones).
Thanks tho...I'm open to any ideas.
I have 15 "levels" of media volume, but only 7 for ringer and notifications? Level 1 of media volume is EXACTLY how loud I want my ringers and notifications to play when I am at my desk at work, but level 1 of ringer/notifications is far too loud. This really bothers me. I guess I need to edit all my notifications and ringtones to be naturally more quiet.
Hi to all,
I have noticed a big drop in ringtone volume if music is playing when a call comes in.
It is so low that I can often not hear the ringtone at all. This is with it set at maximum before the turning on the music. Attempting to Change the media volume makes no difference in the ringtone volume.
If I switch off the music then test by calling the phone, the ringtone comes through the headset at full volume. Turn on the music and try again, I can barely hear it.
I can only tell by the muting of the music as the call comes in. Notification volume seems unaffected.
Have any of you noticed this issue as well? Any fixes?
Thanks in advance.
I like to use a mp3 for notifications and for my ringtone, but when I choose a sound file it is WAY too loud, even on the lowest setting right before vibrate. Is there a way to globally reduce the sound volume?
Do Not Disturb has three options:
Total Silence
Alarms Only
Priority Only
None of these options offers the ability to set calls and texts to vibrate but allow you to continue listening to a music or podcasts app.
For example: I work 9am-6pm, so I want my DnD hours to be 8:50am-6:10pm. However, I'm often still driving to work from 8:50-9am. My music apps won't play any sound after 8:50. They will continue to "play" but be muted.
Has anyone else resolved this? I've thought about using Tasker, but this means I have to manually set the following Audio actions: alarm volume, bt voice volume, dtmf volume, haptic feedback, in-call volume, media volume, notification volume, ringer volume, sound effects, system volume, etc.
Another example: I want my phone to be vibrate-only while I'm at work, but I want to be able to play YouTube videos and hear them on my lunch break without manually changing my DnD settings.
When your phone is on vibrate, media volume is unaffected. Dnd affects all volume. It sound like you might want to do some Tasker profiles for vibrate.
