I recently bought a Motorola S9 stereo bluetooth headset. It's paired with my Tilt, and connects and works great (though the range is pretty crappy).
I run my Tilt in Vibrate mode, so both phone and PDA volumes are at zero with vibrate turned on.
When the A2DP headphones connect, they automatically turn the volume up, which turns off vibrate mode. No problem.
But when the headphone DISconnect, they automatically put the volume back where it was (zero), but fail to turn vibrate back on. So unless I manually fix it every time, I don't get any notifications, even for an incoming call.
Is there any fix for this?
I'm running the stock 6.0 ROM.
Thanks!
I have had the same problem with my normal bluetooth headset. I am running the stock 6.1 rom. From what I can find, there is nothing that can be done. I use a cradle with a speaker phone in my car because of it. I am not sure if there is a problem with cooked roms or not. Good luck.

When you set the phone to vibrate mode, both the ring and system vol slider slides all the way down. This causes no sound in anything even with using earphones when playing music and watching movies.
Does anyone have the same problem and have a fix for this?
Thanks in advance
Yep, same problem, and so does everyone else.

when you put it as vibrate it turns off all phone sounds (it is standard in all windows mobile phones) if you turn the volume up and put the headphones in all phone sounds will go through the headphones.
Sounds like a non problem to me. What would you expect if you have the volume turned all the way down? No sound. If you have head phones and plug them in then turn of the volume. It'll only be in the head phones.
Nah, the problem when the headphones is plugged and sound is turned on. If the phone rings, it still rings through the speaker (not the headphones). So if i'm in a library or something, i can't listen to music without turning the sound on. When the phone rings it will disturb everyone. All my phones i used before non-windows phones from nokia and sony ericsson still had music through the headphones even if the phone was on vibrate.
Ah I see what you're saying now. Personally I see it as a good thing. If I had the phone charging, i.e. not in my pocket or where I could feel it, and was on BT stereo headset but didn't have it plugged into my ears then I would be totally unaware that I was receiving a call. But I must say that I'm not in the library often (last time was probably about 1982) and I don't use vibrate at all really.
Hi,
I've just acquir a stereo bluetooth headset "voyager 855" (I think the best one...), I've paring it to my kaiser, switch on the bluetooth ... and i've seen that my htc's power drown so fast ! less than a day to go to 0% !
I think it's 'cause that my bluetooth being always turn "on" !!!?!
So i'm looking for a software that turn "on" my bluetooth connection before "off" when a call incoming and shut it "off" when I stop to convers.
Is this soft exist or is someone be interested to developpe it ?
Thank for your answer
Unless your headset is actively connected to the phone (ie: the headset itself is on), bluetooth has a very small effect on battery life. You have a different problem.
I have the same problem with my bluetooth. I am using radio: 1.71.09.01 and have used other radios too... I have my kaiser paired with the bluetooth handsfree in my car. If I dont turn off the bluetooth on the phone when I get out of the car, the battery will go dead before the day is done. However, if I never turn on the bluetooth the whole day, it will go down to about 55%-65% by the end of the day (depending on usage).

First of all, "PhoneAlarm" (www.pocketmax.net) can do what you want to do. Switch on BT only when phone rings.
2nd, I don't think BT consume so much power. Maybe some other power hugging program? (usually Today screen plugin and/or continous data connection)
Anyway, PhoneAlarm comes with a "electric Current display" which can also help debug your power consumption.
When turning off, my Tilt consume <7mA, when screen on, (lowerest bklight) with phone radio on 200~300mA
Just for your reference
Would anyone here know why all of a sudden the ringer and music speaker would quite working on my X1A? The headphones work fine as does the speaker when you are making a call. The phone was not dropped, I was sitting at the computer, noticed I missed a call and wondered why since I'd not heard a ring. Did hard reset, still nothing.
sounds like the headset detector is stuck so it think it's in headset mode all the time
people report inserting and pulling out the headset XX times sometimes solves it
Thanx for your reply, makes sense but just inserted and removed headfons at least 20 times and still no go. Any other ideas?
just press volume up button of the phone
that's not the issue, I have the volume turned up all the way, still nothing.
Hello All,
Whenever my N1 connects to bluetooth in the car, the volume of the ringer goes off (although set to maximum). I cannot hear the dialing tone neither the directions from the GPS navigation software.
How can it be fixed ?
I am using TheOfficial Nexus1 v2.13.2
Thanks
Would be happy to get some help ...

Try to increase the volume using the side buttons WHEN your phone is connected to the bluetooth. Also, try to increase the volume with the bluetooth system in the car.
Also, go to Settings>Sounds when your phone is connected, then click Volume, see if anything is turned off.
Why does this phone still ring thru the speakers when headphones are plugged in? I have downloaded the Sound Assistant app which is stupid to have to get another app....however I set in advanced settings "Alerts through headphones" to on....seemed to work for a while but now doesn't! Maybe after recent update? I can't stand this and should not have to manually put phone into vibrate mode!
I had the sound assistant and it stopped working for me, too. I found another workaround:
Create a bixby routine which sets phone to vibrate mode when headphones plugged in.
