BT ringtone on car handsfree - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On my car BT hands free I noticed that when my i9500 rings, regardless the custom Rom i have installed (cm or touchwiz, mostly touchwiz since cm suffer from many issues in BT lately.. )
The car uses an annoying default ring tone for incoming calls, resulting in 2 different ring tones. One from my cell and the one from the multimedia system.
I almost though it due to my poor wince5 multimedia system in my car (a2dp compatible)till i have connected an iPhone 6 which delivers the ringtone you have set In your phone.
Does anyone know of a way to make BT transmit the correct ringtone ?

Usually the ringtone on the BT is physically house on the BT. Its not an audio file that the phone is transmitting.
When the phone sends the BT the siglnal that its ringing the BT plays its own audio ringer file.
In other words tou have to change the ringtone on the BT.
This is USUALLY the case. It is not ALWAYS the case

There are no ringtone/ringtype settings on the multimedia system at all.
I wonder how iPhone does succeeded out of the box transmitting the its internal ringtone..

There are no settings on your device because ringtone is not selectable. But there is a ringtone file on the device. I assure you.

I'll look for that. Thanks.

Re-Route sounds per application?

Is there anyway to reroute the sounds from a certain application to the headset speaker vs the speakerphone speaker?
I never use Windows Media player for anything but checking my YouMail.com voicemails (they come to my phone in an mp3 via email) and would love to have the sound come through the headset speaker instead.
I use HTC Audio Manager for mp3s though and don't want to change that at all.

Bluetooth Mercedes W204 - HTC HD2

Hello everybody, I have following problem :
I have a new Mercedes C200 - W204, and when the HD2 is connected over bluetooth I get an extremely loud, strange ringtone when receiving a call. It is so loud it makes you jump out of your seat.
I didn't have this problem with my Nokia E66 as it played the ringtone through the car audio speakers.
Also it is none of the ringtones available to choose from, inside the phone - it sounds more like a BIOS beep from a PC and hits me while the normal ringtone is playing as well.
Bluetooth Advanced settings Audio says : Play system sounds on remote handsfree decive, but ....... no luck
Anyone with the same problem ??
Anyone with a solution for this issue ??
Thanks in advance.

Bypass A2DP on demand

I have this issue with my HTC BT Headset which when paired and connected will receive all sounds including games and system sounds. Sometimes even the ringer will only sound in the headset and not on the phone (this happened at rare occasions).
I have edited the settings of my headset and unchecked the option for media but then it comes back again when I connect again.
Now, I want to be able to divert audio back to the device when for example I play a game or play a media clip. The only thing I see on the screen in the message that audio is being played on the BT headset.
I am sure there must be a key sequence to bypass this but I can't figure it out.
Sorry I have no solution, but just to say I have similar issues. My HTC headset picks up the audio from Copilot.... which I suppose is no bad thing in itself, except that the sound drops out all the time... which is pretty useless on satnav! Not sure whether this is a problem with the phone or the headset (whihc is otherwise working fine). I'd just like to switch off the A2DP feature too.

Sound routing

Hi!
I am using a bluetooth headset which supports both A2DP and HSF profiles. The headset emits two short bips when enabled and therefore is not suited to very short sounds. My Galaxy S sends all system sounds to the headset which is very annoying.
I would like to configure it to send only the following sounds to the headset:
ring tone
call voice
MP3 player / video player
I have discovered /system/etc/asound.conf contains routing instructions. Is this file documented somewhere?
There surely is some app that enables profiles, so that you can set a profile with system notification sounds set to zero when you connect your headsets. I'm not sure about alsa configuration file, but if you come up with something, please let us know.
If I want to get rid of the problem, I can just use the silent mode, but I would like to hear those system sounds when I receive a SMS or a mail.

Bluetooth

Is there a way to modify the bluetooth code so that the "ear peice" via "bluetooth" will also give you "music" etc....
I mean if the phone detects the ear peice and plays all the calls thru the ear peice..... why cant it be hacked to also play internet music....
Thanks in advance....
pm me a fix... flame in public...
Actually, I too would like to know if this is possible. Why can't it just be detected as wireless "headphones/headset".
Although I'm using an iPhone 4 so I'm sure that it'd be more difficult to do this if it is possible.
Should work

It depends on the activity the app code is running on the host device. All audio is able to be routed to the headphones. What kind of phone are you using?
It's not as simple as wired headphones. BT has something called profiles - each profile is for doing some particular thing - like transferring files, playing music, making calls, etc. For a particular feature to be supported, both the phone and the headset has to support that particular profile. Most android versions have support for most common profiles.
Calls are possible through profiles called HSP/HFP and stereo music is possible through profile called A2DP. Most of the mono headsets which are mainly for calling support only HSP/HFP and not A2DP - that's main reason you can't play music on most mono headsets. If you buy stereo BT headsets, they come with both HSP/HFP and A2DP - meaning they can support both calls and audio.
There are apps / hacks to stream music from an android phone to a mono headset through HSP/HFP. I've never tried any - you can look for those if you want to play music on your mono BT HSP headset.

Are you able to connect the device to a computer or tablet? I think it would depend on the drivers on the device you're connecting to. What are you trying to connect to? Does it detect your earpiece?
its a jabra bluetooth ear peice.
and theres several "mono" bluetooth apps on the market/play store.
I happened to try blue tooth mono router and it works fairly well.
seems to use aprox 3 to 5% of battery in aprox 15 to 20 mins.
:good:
