Notifications and Headphones - Epic 4G General

Anyone come up with a way to route notification audio through the head phones? I never really realized it till I started sharing an office with a guy. My head phones are noise canceling...so I really on though it just buzzed with the vibration, but it actually does the notification over the speaker...Which seems awfully pointless to me.

Id like to know this too. Kind of retarded that they go through the speaker, insted of headphones.

Same here, its really annoting to have to put my phone on vibrate when I get on the bus

I'd be a happy camper(literally, camp the next two weeks), if this could be figured out.

i have my headphones plugged in at night as i listen to them when i sleep. I want the alarm to sound thru then speakerphone so that i can hear it. I think their their should be an app that allow for choosing werea you want it to go thru....

My notifications are routed to my headphones. I thought this was normal.
Have a nice day.

On my hd2, if i have my headphones in and i am using the keyboard, which has the clicking sound on, whenever i press any button theres a hiss that comes on.

It sounds like your headphones might be extremely sensitive, or there's an abnormal amount of EMI in your phone. What headphones are you using? Also, are you running the SRSWow app? Or maybe the HTC Audio Booster?
I'm using Monster Jamz. they work perfectly with other devices.
but its not just the headphones
whenever a sound plays on my speaker, it'll play and then for another second there will be hissing.
i am using audio booster, but it has been hissing before then :/

Are you running a custom/upgrade ROM? If so, did you hard-reset immediaetly after flashing to it?
Nope. Im on the stock Rom.
i tried playing around with the text message tone, and it is really apparent in the MSNMSNGER tone. right after the tone there is ilke 2 seconds where the speaker is definitely on and is hissing

So you're on the original stock rom and never upgraded to the newer one, right?
Did this just start happening out of the blue, or was it always there? I still think it's related to too much EMI (electromagnetic interference) from the your phone somewhere...I've cranked my volume all the way up, and I can't recreate the issue. Since it happens on the speaker and headphones both, it's most likely an internal hardware issue.
I got this phone like 2 days ago and its been there out of the box. To recreate i put the speaker right up to my hear and make any noice (ie. like the click of the keyboard) and afterwears i hear a hissing noise for 2 seconds then it shuts off.
I talked to a t mobile rep and he said for me to wait the 14 days until buyers remorse is over, then they can use the warranty to ship my new phone. thanks for trying to help

Yep, that's the point it was sounding like you were at then, needing to just get a new one...I'm pretty sure you won't see the issue in the replacement (shouldn't, anway)

Don't wait. Ask for the replacement now.
I would, but the thing is, i bought it on the phone. so i would have to ship it back. then would have to reorder it. that would take about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks and i cannot go without a phone for that long :/.

Headset issue

Another of my little niggles, and hopefully you guys can help me out again.
Today I had cause to use headphones with my SGS and found something kinda weird. I plugged in my old head set, a skull candy fmj, and found that much of the music was just 'missing'.
Music plays fine, but vocals are totally inaudible. Not distorted or broken, I mean literally not there, but the track plays underneath. If I listen to speech, then practically nothing comes through. Very very faint.
When I use other headphones or the stock head set or speakers, everything plays back fine, its just that one set. It works fine on my blackberry just not on my sgs.
Any thoughts whats wrong here? Id hate to have to get a new set, not because they were expensive or anything, just because it seems there's nothing really wrong with them!
Thanks guys

I had the same problem. I was being too timid pushing the cable in all the way because I didn't want to break it. You're probably pushing it in all the way, but something still may be wrong with the connection. When I didn't push the plug in all the way I got the instruments but vocals were almost completely drowned out, but they were there.

Headsets with a built-in mic that use the industry-standard pin order on the 3.5mm jackplug don't work with the SGS, as they have reversed the 3rd and 4th bands on the jack.
The easiest way around it is to use a Nokia headset adaptor (as supplied with eg the N95) and then plug your headset into that. I'm not sure if the mic will work in calls or not, but you'll at least be able to use your headphones to listen to music. The sound quality is good, too!
If you use regular headphones with it, you won't have this problem.
There are other postings about this on here.. search and you'll get a much better explanation than my gin-addled brain is capable of giving at this point in time.
Well that's nice of Samsung.
TY for the info, I guess I'll shop for some new headphones then.

[Q] Rear speaker stays on when I plug in headphones

When I plug in my headphones, I expect the phone the be totally silent to anyone but me, i.e., my sleeping roommates. But I found out that the speaker on my MT4G stays on and plays the sounds along with my headphones. Kinda defeats the purpose of having headphones. Anyone else have this problem or know how to resolve it? This is still a pretty new phone, and I haven't rooted it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
The only app that is supposed to allow the speaker to play while headphones are plugged in is the fm radio. The radio has a toggle to turn this function on or off. Make sure you're not using any speaker widgets. Are you using the headphones that came with the phone? Try switching to different ones. Other than that, IDK.
Swyped on my rooted MyTouch4G

You're talking about ringtones and notifications, right? Yes, it's hugely annoying and has been like that since the release of the G1. I don't understand why it does that, but it happens with all my wired and Bluetooth headsets. To my knowledge, there's no way to make it truly route ALL sound traffic to the headphones. I've used JF, CM, and Enom's ROMs as well on different handsets, and they do the same thing. I hope that Gingerbread FINALLY addresses this.
However, I'm keeping an eye on this to see if anyone has found a "fix" for this. For now, I just leave it on vibrate at work while using headphones so I get *some* sort of notification when a call/text/whatever is coming in.
Please post questions in Q&A section.
Well, I AM using Gingerbread. I just now tested it and verified that it is indeed only for ringtones and notifications, while music and videos route their sound properly with headphones in.
Apparently Gingerbread did not resolve the problem. :-(

You're using Gingerbread? Please explain? Unless of course you're on a Nexus S.
T-Mobile just released the 2.3 Gingerbread update for the MT4G in a last several days. My phone just out of the blue said I had an update available, and it was Gingerbread.
**EDIT**
Ok I lied, I'm on Android 2.2.1. When I saw the update, I Googled 'Android OS Update', naively assuming, in my new-to-Android inexperience, that it would be that simple. All the results said '2.3 Gingerbread' all over them, so I assumed that's what I was getting.
I was dead wrong, and I'm still on Froyo. Sorry if I got anyone's hopes up.
Lol, oh wow!
Everyone's gotta start somewhere, and I guess today was my day to be the n00b.

gps speaker phone

The shift is my first android phone, so i'm still not used to finding where to enable things stuff.
i've been using the google nav on this phone, and i've noticed that the TTS only uses the phone's regular hold-up-against-your-ear speakers. is it possible to switch it to use the speakphone speakers?
Weird. Both telenav and google maps use the speakerphone on mine.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA App
I tried to find a setting, but I could not.
Mine also uses the loudspeaker by default.
Shifted from my PG06100 using XDA App
Mine uses loudspeaker by default too. I don't think there is a setting to not have it as speakerphone because that's not very intuitive.
I know this is a stupid thing to ask but I have to ask it anyways, did you check to see if you turned up navigation volume all the way?
it turns out, it does use the loud-speaker. it's just not very loud. i'm coming from a t-mobile shadow. there aren't a lot of good things i can say about that phone, but it has some really loud loudspeakers.
when i play mp3s on this thing though, it's quite loud.
wonder what's up.
There is a separate navigation volume... Make sure it is all the way up
I also notice the speaker phone isn't loud at all. Are there any other that feel the same way?
I had a windows phone a couple of years back that someone made a hack to make the speaker phone louder. I wonder if someone could do something similar for this phone.

Pop noise when receiving a Notification

I just got my moto x Pure a few days ago and i noticed when i receive a text message i get this pop noise after the notification sound stops playing. I went in the settings to change the notification sound and as im switching between them they all have a pop noise always after there done playing or sometimes before playing. If i try to change the ring tone it doesn't happen, they start and end fine with no pop noise. I remember having a similuar issue with my nexus 4 and to remedy the situation i would disable touch sounds and vibration but it doesnt seem to help with this phone.
Someone on reddit said he had the same issue. Anyone else experience this ?
Yep. Happens on my too. It's the speaker going online and standby. Happens on all phones, but in Moto X Pure is loud and noticeable. Cheap speaker? Don't know. Also on my, when playing the tone "Zeta" I get bad speaker crackling noise. Specially when volume is high.

i adjusted the bass in the audio equalizer and it seems to help with ring tones like the zeta, at least i think it did.
I dont get the pop noise when i play a youtube video or listen to google music, so its weird to me.

Thank you for posting this. Now I know I'm not the only one with the problem. I was worrying I'd have to do an RMA, but maybe this'll be fixable with a software update.
Didn't even notice the crackling until I specifically listened for it. Now I can't unhear it. Ughh! This is going to drive me nuts. Similar issue with my N6. Playing music or videos there is no problem. Just notifications and ringtones.

Pretty sure they are. I have both though. I notice the pop very easily at night. I have a few apps set to priority, so they'll ring even when I'm sleeping. Last night I got a couple notifications and definitely heard an audible pop about a second after the tone stopped playing. It seems like it happens when power is being cut to the speaker.
My Nexus 6 had similar QC issues. The phone stopped detecting SIM cards about a month after I bought it. Moto sent me a replacement which I sold because it was NIB. Beginning to worry that Lenovo is cheaping out a bit too much on their flagships.
I don't have my phone in hand yet so...has anyone tried some third party ringtones or notifications? The reason I ask is because I imagine it's possible that the default recorded sounds may have some type of silent space after the "music" or the sound stops causing this. Maybe somebody can try a few home made ones to see if it still happens.
Yes i tried third party notification sounds. Same thing happens
Anyone else affected by this bug
Getting the pop noise as well. It's very noticeable. I'll hold off for awhile and see what Moto does about the issue.
I've got it as described above. Sounds like power coming on and then cutting off. Reminds me of powering on and off an old boombox from the 80's.

I have no POP noise at all. As I said before I think it has to do with the earliest batches that were delivered. Even though I ordered on the second day of pre-order I received mine several days after many others. Maybe I got mine from a second, or later batch?? No speaker distortion either even at full volume!
Decided to return it and get another one. Maybe I just got one of the bad batches. I also had a small scratch on it right out of the box. Would've ignored the scratch if everything else was good... but I can't unhear the speaker crackles and pop.
waiting now for return authorization for this problem, which is a little hairy because I'm not the original owner. I do have the receipt though--shouldn't the warranty transfer?
That pop noise very noticable when using viber...
Also try to press keyboard keys and put the speaker closer to the ear... Its like speakers are turn on/off ...
yeah, it's the amplifier shutting off. happens on crappy laptop soundcards too usually. pretty much all of them have it.
