Is it possible to mute the phone speakers while connected to a bluetooth headset. I find that there is no reason that the phone should make a sound as well as my bluetooth headset when I get a call or text.

Can't answer your question, but is this really happening? If so, that's ridiculous.

Yea, I just got this phone yesterday and no matter what, the phone rings as well as my bluetooth headset when I get a call or text. Really annoying when I need to know if someone calls or texts me in a quiet place.

no, the built-in speaker that you use to listen to a call. by the way, since you are asking about using a headset, might as well tell me if it is possible TQ.
Any sounds from the rear speaker will go through the wired headset when it's plugged in.

Thanks, but what I really want is to use skype like normal talking to the phone without headset or speaker phone, possible to do that? Is there a registry hack to tell skype to use the earpiece instead of the loud speaker?

No, don't think so.
Anyone else know different?

Earpiece to use with Skype
Hello
I got a Xperia1 and always tried to find a way to use the earpiece with VoiP software (including Skype).
One way is Nimbuzz but today I found by conicidence the following:
I installed the Adoresoftphone.com software on my WM device. When you run this software once, the "click" from the screen taps disappeared.
When I ran Skype, I got the call right on the earpiece.
If you go back and launch the Adoresoftware (which you installed previously), click on "use speaker" the screen taps click returns and the Skype calls are transmitted via the internal loudspeaker.
This could be a way to use the earpiece of your device. Should work on all WM devices.
If you are interested, try it
I'm have a problem hearing my calls on my tmobile wing if I do not have my bluetooth headset on. I always have to put the call on speaker phone. Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

so, if you dont use your bluetooth headet, you canot use your wing as a normal phone, meaning you dont hear a thing from the internal speaker? if you are sure that your BT headset is not connected, than probably a hardware problem.

Yea, what he said. There are a couple of other threads on this topic, seems to be a common problem. There is a company out of Texas that will fix this for about $65 called Dr. Cell Phone, or you can call HTC and they will do it for about 90.
Or you could just remove the Wax outta your ears.

It appears that the phone's volume is set at minimum. You can only increase it while you are in an active phone call. The easiest way to do this is to dial you voicemail then adjust the volume control on the side of the handset.
This should do it.
p.s. after this adjustment you may need to turn down your bluetooth.
So what is the best way to handle the situation when you get a call while driving, and HD is mounted and being used as GPS? I tried the speaker phone option, but the caller can barely here me. Any better options? Thanks

But in this case, to here GPS voice instructions, I would have to ware it all the time?
i would imagine so? wouldn't you want that? you would be able to hear the instructions better...
BT headset works diff.
It´s great with a BT headset. I use my phone as GPS and it uses the speaker automaticly. When i get a call i just put myt headset on and take the call like allways.. The GPS software mutes the speaker while youre speaking and then aktivates again when your hanging up...
No problem..

Thanks. I figured this out: bluetooth headset works differently from bluetooth headphones. Headphones replace the speaker, so IGO talks through them. But headset does not - just what I need. Thanks a lot
With my G1, when I'd answer a call using the phone itself (either the hardware button or the on-screen button), the audio would be routed to the bluetooth headset automatically (when it was connected).
With the Aria, when I answer a call using the on-screen buttons on the phone, it routes the audio to the phone. Then I have to hit menu and select bluetooth quickly, or the caller hangs up because they don't hear me. This is very inconvenient when I'm driving, and negates the purpose of having the bluetooth headset in the first place.
Yes, the obvious solution is to answer calls using the button on the headset, but I can't train myself to do that. And like I said, when it's connected to bluetooth, it should route audio to the headset by default anyway.
Anyone know a solution to this?
Nobody sees this as an issue?

This was happening too me... It was because I was answering the call on the phone and not the bluetooth... Answering with the bluetooth solved the problem.

Seems pretty straightforward. Answer with phone, audio is on phone. Answer with BT, audio is on BT. Exactly what I want when I answer in my car since BT goes over car speakers.
Ok, I'm glad YOU like it, but I don't. If my headset is connected, I want audio to go to the headset. Else, I wouldn't bother putting it on my ear and connecting it to my phone.
So, does anyone know if there is a way to change it?

I don't think there is a way to change it...
You don't have a button on your headset to answer the call? I would think touching a button near you eary would be just as easy or easier than sliding your finger across your phone in the appropriate spot.
In California it is illegal to have the phone in your hand at all while driving. Even to answer the phone. Perhaps that is why Android does this.
I DO have a button on my headset. My phone sits in a holder in my van, pointing at me. When it rings, I look to see who's calling and instictively push the answer button on the phone, as that's what I'm used to doing when I'm NOT driving. THEN, I have to open the menu, and and find the bluetooth option while driving. Bluetooth is supposed to make driving safer, not more cumbersome.
As I said, if I have the bluetooth connected, why wouldn't I want audio routed to it? I don't put the thing on my ear just to look good! LOL
I agree with OP. I thought this was a bug in the ROM. Every other phone I have used has this convention - when bluetooth is connected, audio gets routed through the headset - in and out. At least, there should be an option to change the default behaviour in Android/Aria. If I am holding the phone in my hands, I intuitively answer the call on the phone and annoyingly the calls doesn't get routed to headset Or, I am driving and before I start a conversation I want to see if it's worth risking a conversation while driving (even with headset). Again, phone is in my hand and I answer the call - bluetooth doesn't get audio.
When I have my bluetooth headset on and my phone rings I would like to have a options box come up giving me the choice of which to answer the call with, bluetooth headset or handset. When I get a call it automatically goes to headset if I have it on. I have been using a Iphone and this is the default. If there an app or fix I can use for this.
The phone also seems to jump back to the headset even though I am on the handset, any ideas?

The call might go to bt headset, but you have always the option before answering the call to change from call options among phone speaker, bt headset and handset.

This doesn't seem to be the way my phone is working. When I have my bluetooth headset on but answer with my handset it doesn't give me an option, it just always goes to headset. After I press the green answer button I have to press the icon at the bottom to choose handset every time.
I am having this issue with my Plantronics and Sennheiser headsets.
This isn't an issue with a bluetooth device I have my home phones hooked up to, goes to my handset when I answer with my handset.

Could anyone point me towards a way of flashing an older bluetooth radio to my phone, if thats even possible.
