[Q] Mute sound when unplugging headset? - HD2 General

Is it possible?
I only have sound when i'm listening to music, so i have to mute everytime i'm unplugging headset.
Is it possible to make the phone do that automatically? Or even better, just leave the sound muted and play music in headphones anyway?
Hope you understand my problem

Look at this thread, maybe you can hack something together and share it

That one is not doing it automatically, don't want to click on programs
Don't know how to hack it, have my hope on other users on XDA

I know a way to check the headphone state with mortscript
Headphone = RegRead ("HKLM", "System\State\Hardware", "Headset")
But that's pretty much it I don't know squad about running mortscripts in the background without using to much system resources. Maybe somebody can jump in ...

would love this feature too. had it on my htc topaz with wm 6.5, so why wouldnt it work here, too? But I dont know if it was cooked in or already in the stock roms.
When I put my phone on "vibration only", it automatically turned on the volume when headset was plugged in. Did it reverse when headset was removed.

If you're willing to PAY for this, you might check out SBSH Pocket Weaver 2. I use it as follows:
1. Headphones: Lower Main and Ringer Volume. Main alters the volume in the headphones so I don't mistakenly get blasted when I start the first song. Ringer volume quiets down the volume if I'm listening to music.
2. Evening: Turn off sound. Vibrate only from 8:00 to 11:00PM.
3. Night: Reduce Ringer volume so I'm not blasted awake.
4. Day: Normal volume settings.
All of these things are done without my input (after the initial setup). Number 1 is triggered by plugging in the headphones. Numbers 2, 3, and 4 are triggered by the time of day. I'm guessing you can set one "Profile" to your normal needs (no sound) and set a Headphones profile to just the headphones. Download the trial and give it a try. Let me know if I can help with the initial setup.
I've used this software with my old TyTN II and my new HD2. It works.

Nice, thanks Downloading trial before buying..

I am using Conduits Pocketplayer for music, and now I've downloaded the WMP-Plugin because I solded my earphones to the standard-htc-headset to get the media-control-buttons. They are only working when I use the plugin. And from now, the sound mutes when I unplug the headset Without any additional programs.

Ringtone Problem- Plays out loud even when headphones are in

Anyone have a problem like this:
I did a had reset but it still is doing this-
The speaker plays my ringtones out loud even when my headphones are plugged in!!
Thanks,
Daniel
Mine has always been like that, whicever ROM I used.
Really????
My old XDA never did this...
So if i'm listening to music I run the risk of having my ringtone play out loud??
Is the only solution to change my ring prefrences to vibrate only when i'm listening to music (since the phone volume itself cannot be muted)??
When I preview the sound it doesnt play out loud
I don't have such problem with original headset. But, if I use bluetooth headset it happens.
So this is not normal....
How do I fix it?
I tried a hard reset- didn't work!!
Playing the ringtone out of the speaker even though the headphones are in is normal with most if not all phones. The headphones are only to listen to music and calls.
If you had the phones in but not in your ears and the phone rang only in the headphones how would you hear it?
Why would your headphones be plugged in if you are not listening to music?? And to answer your question- you would know the phone is riging by it vibrating.
Anyways- many people told me this is not normal...so there must be a way to change it.
Also, when I am in silent or vibrate mode and I accidentaly or even purposely push my Voice Command button the beep sound will come out of the speaker-
It will change the sound icon from Vibrate or Silent to the regular icon but will stay in silent/vibrate mode-
Is this normal??
-Daniel
Not sure about the voice command question but with regards "WHy would you have your headphones in if you're not listening to music" the answer is to use the phone handsfree.
Whether this is in the car (law over here) or while in the office a lot of people over here use headphones instead of holding the phone to your ear, some believe that the safer or healthier. No real proof but handsfree is popular.
Saw this same post on the Neonode forum and the SE's do the same so I presumed normal and as I say if you were using the headphones as handsfree if actually a good thing. Yes the vibrate would tell you but say you're at someone else's desk and can't hear the phone vibrating across your desk (hell of a vibrate really isn't it).
Anyway, hope that answers the headphones question
So why did some people say this doesn't happen to them?
That's an unanswerable question. It could be any number of reasons and going on the state of play with the ROMs is possibly down to this.
Going through the forums its amazing the number of people that have different problems with apparently the same phone.
I have the exact same problem, and am still looking for a solution.
The most irritating thing is that when I turn all ringtones off (only vibrate on) and I receive an incoming call, the sound that is currently playing (windows media player or some other program) is played for a fraction of a second thru the external speaker (the program pauses the mp3 playback on an incoming call, but this happens to late). Because of this it's impossible to use the phone for MP3 playback in a place where it's important that no sound is produced.
It would be really nice to completly turn the external speaker off when a headset is plugged in (i find it really strange this isn't the case right now).
It would be nice if someone found a solution for this (in my opionion) huge problem.
Yea,
I found this is irritating too,
I am using pocketMax Phonealarm
and mute:
- system volume
- phone volume
but max the call volume ( as I think that's required to answer a call)
I plugged my headset (using 2.5mm to 3.5mm jack) and listen the music using winamp & increase the volume, apparently the system volume is increased too ==> I think that's the reason why everytime:
- incoming phone call
- any reminder
is sounded in the headset too.... totally [email protected]@[email protected]#
Any solution for this????!!!!!

Sound profiles

I use the w100 wired remote with my trinity, and use a in ear headset piece to listen to my music in the the public transport.
Is it possible that when people call me I will hear the incoming call trough the headset and not trough the phone speakers? because now im hearing both and its kinda pointless if its using the phone speakers aswell.
Ive tried putting the phone on vibrate but then my media player wont work anymore.
I know its possible to turn every sound on vibrate but isnt there a vibrate profile piece of software that puts the phone onto vibrate but I will still be able to listen to music and hear an incoming call?
Hi,
You might wanna try PocketMax's PhoneAlarm.
It has so many settings, setting everything right takes 10 runs of trial and error, but thus far I have been able to do anything I've wanted.

Prevent audio push through speaker during notifications?

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.
Curious G.
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.

Better sound quality from speaker

Hi, I'm not sure this works on every windows mobile 6.1 device but as I myself have an X1i, I thought I'd share this (in the hopes of being useful to some people).
I've always found the speaker a piece of **** when it comes to playing music (as well as the vibrator.. but that doesn't really matter right now).
One morning, I woke up with my usual alarm using G-alarm and I thought I'd connect my HiFi system to it so I had some better quality music playing while waking up.
I connected it but noticed that no sound came through the 3.5" jack but instead it still came through the speaker of my phone.
What happened though is that there was a small pause in the playback of the alarm and after that (0.5 seconds) the sound quality was MUCH MUCH richer than without plugging the 3.5" jack in! So basically all you hear when you play music is a cellphone kind of sound but when I plugged in that cable (doesn't matter if it's a hifi or your headphones), the music playing actually had bass and mid-level tones.
Everyone should try this out and see if they get the same results.
I've been looking through the registry to see if there are any sound profiles that windows mobile switches to when the jack is plugged in so I could use the same if there isn't anything plugged in but I couldn't find anything.
I really hope someone else can because the sound is SO much better!
Regards, Karel
Can you provide instructions and steps on how you did it??
Instructions
1. Install G-alarm
2. Set the alarm to a time (the next minute? ;p)
3. Wait for the alarm to start
4. Plug something in the 3.5" hole
5. Be amazed!
ps. I found another thread here about a third speaker - wheather this is the case or not, it does sound MUCH better using the non-existant speaker! xD
Apparently it's the 'speakerphone' and it can be turned on manually with 'audioRoute' from Teksoft
I just wonder why not all media players use that speakerphone.
Also I'm wondering if it's possible to remove the notification that WM6.1 gives when the speakerphone is turned on.

If you don't hear anything, press the first button (so the 'E' appears), then press the third button and you should see a phonespeaker icon (with the notification).
Actually i posted this before here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544878
and well the sound is really amazing is true ... like a laptop it beats all cell phones i had till now ... also n95 8gb and n97.
I think the reason that it isnt the default for music playback is to preserve the quality of the speaker only for the calls in loudspeaker mode.
greetings

But the thing is, G-alarm can just switch modes (normal speaker -> speakerphone) without displaying the ugly icon along with the notification.
I think mediaplayers should just have the option to use that speakerphone lol

Okay, thank you, it works now but I have to switch the trakc and increase volume and stuff, it takes some time to work. But quality is indeed better. Not too much, though, I find. A little bit clearer, but not louder.

Music volume too loud for hearphones...

hi everybody i love my legend but i'm really disappointed with this issue: even at the minimum, the volume is too loud too listen it with hearphones...
Is there an app to fix it?
Trying another rom could fix it?
Thk you
Got same issue

Hey, I agree with what you've said above. I have the same issue. Please note that I have no direct solution for you, but the work around is this:
Use a different set of headphones. I have three sets I use.
1) pair of ear buds that came with the legend - these are fine when I turn the volume down low
2) Phillips SHS3201 - these are basic ""over the ear" hook style ear buds. volume is fine if I turn it down between first second "notches".
3) Monster Audio Turbine ear buds - foam sealing passive noise canceling. These are too loud even at the lowest setting. I think they have powerful drivers that simply boost the sound and foam fittings that drive the sound into my ear canal. Though they sound great, I can't really use them because they are too loud on the phone.
Are you using a high quality or "foam sealing" headphone?
That being said, I'm interested if anyone else knows how to adjust this!
Thanks.
Thk you for your reply I've not found a real solution but you're right i think i'm gonna buy earphones with external volume adjustement because even with the original legend ones, it's too loud
There is another way to fix it but i don't like it.. You can change de volume of your mp3's by using mp3 gain (freeware). The volume is better but if you want to connect the legend to a loudspeaker, you realise that the sound has unfortunately a very limited volume...
I am interested in this as well. I have tried the Music Player with EQ platinum (by changing left and right channel to output lower volume) but it kills the CPU. If you view photos while listening to music, you might not hear any music anymore.
Same here. It gets very annoying when the phone rings while I'm listening to things on my earphone - it hurts my ear everytime. (I have ringer set to max volume, which seems to make the ring tone play at max volume through earphone as well. I can barely stand min volume as it is.)
I've already rooted my phone - I guess changing the audiopara files should do the trick. Can anyone tell me how to understand those files?
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
I am using j-jays intra earphones and the Legend really disappoint me about the sound quality (volume setting).
So I tried to set EQ as down as possible... what there is no EQ on Android's music player? f****!
Finally I have found and used Astro Player beta on the market, wich is not very good-looking but has a complet EQ.
And an other problem about Legend sound quality appears: the sound in noisy at low volume!!!
Ok let's hope a flash will correct the problem. For the moment I am using my Sansa clip+ to hear the music in my bed and my legend with RockPlayer to watch movies in my bed
Volume issue Android
I've been having an issue with the volume being too loud when streaming music via pandora or last.fm
To check to make sure we are all having the same problem, follow these steps and report back.
1. Play media (music) w/ headphones
2. Turn off silent mode
3. Go to Settings/Volume
4. Edit the volume of the ringer (it will play a test sound)
5. Accept changes...
Now, did the volume go down on the media so it's nice and quite? If so, how long does it last? I know this works for me for the rest of my current song, but as soon as another one starts it's back up to crazy loud volume (even when the media volume is set to smallest amount).
I have also downloaded a 3rd party volume control app, but the same thing happens. Please give this a shot and let us know what happened!
