No sounds with handsfree

When I plug in the handsfree earphones that came with the phone, the ringer and alarms no longer play through the speaker, just the earpiece. So when it's not in my ear I can't hear the phone ring, is that normal? In any mobile phone it will still ring as you're not expected to wear it all the time or only plug it in when the phone rings. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks.

disable the rear speaker while listening to music with headset

hi,
how can i disable the rear speaker while listening to music with headset.
because, if the phone rings or any phone notification apperars, the speaker becomes active. so the music playing on player on speaker with the notifications. this is very disturbing..
thanks in advance for your suggestions

you cant
thats not possible, simply because nokia has this feature on some N series where when headphones are connected the speaker will not ring only the headphones will sound, this bacomes a problem if you lose your phone in loud places and no one can hear it. also, the alarm doesnt sound.
you could always put your phone on vibrate!?!?

thanks your reply, but after call the notification sounds on speaker. is there a way to turn steaker off after call?

i solved my problem changing hkcu\\controlpanel\soundcategories\ring\speaker value to '0' and soft reset now When the headset is plugged, if the phone rings speaker dont active.

Strange speaker sound

I have my phone on silent mode and heard a slight hissing sound while I was navigating through some menu options. I held the speaker hole next to my ear and noticed that there is a 2-3 second hissing sound made anytime I touch anything that would trigger a click sound if it were not in silent mode. Does anyone else experience this?

[Q] Ringtone volume while using headset

I am using stock ginger unrooted android and i am becoming more and more annoyed with minor problems it presents. I am really very surprised to encounter this kind of design flaws in htc device...
Now i am not sure if it's hardware or software limitation, but i discovered that ringtone volume for phones loudspeaker will be the same as for earphones one. This is stupid, as i have read peoples complaints about phones behaviour while listening music and phone suddenly ringing aloud, this might be uncomfortable, for example in the library or public transport. But with me it's even more stupid, because i keep my phone on vibration alert all the time - i don't need it to ring. So i keep it in my pocket, and listen to some tunes, and then i notice missed calls... no ringtone, music still plays... how stupid is this?
I gave a try to "audio concert", sound profile manager which adjusts phones loudness when it detects connection/disconnection of headphones jack, but at the very best i am left with having a phone ringing in my pocket when i use headphones...
Almost every dumbphone i used at least stopped ringing using built-in loud speaker when headset was connected, not to mention SE phones which played ringtone through earphones even when muted...
So to sum it up, does anyone know whether it is possible to disable loudspeaker and still have ringtone over headphones?
Or at least any good semi-solution?
thanks,

Vibrate/Sound with headphones

Hi,
On my HTC M8 when I set it to vibrate, all speaker sounds are muted, when I plug in headphones, and listen to music, when I get a call, the ringtone will play through my headphones. Which is how I want it.
On S7 Edge when I set it to vibrate, all speaker sounds are muted, when I plug in headphones, and listen to music, when I get a call, the music stops and there is no ringtone, I never know am I getting a call or have I dropped from 4G/3G to GSM and spotify can't stream.
When I set it to soud, it plays the ringtone through the headphones but ALSO through the speaker, which makes no sense to me. Is there any way to change this behavior?

I've noted these matters. But I haven't come across a solution. Especially the last one. I don't know if Samsung considers it a bug or a feature. Ideally, if the headphones are plugged in, the phone speaker should not work in any way.

Thanks for the response! At least it is not a faulty headphone socket/phone then.
