BT Mono Headset Ringtones not through phone

OK!
I feel stupid.
I am running a Tilt and a Jawbone headset.
With the bluetooth on, the ring tones go through the Jawbone. How do I make them go through the phone's speaker instead.
I did read a thread about this issue someone else had, but it was with a stereo headset, which the JB isn't
Thanks!
I feel stupid too - I have the opposite problem. The Bluetooth hands free in the car doesn't ring on INcoming calls... just the Kaiser rings (and if its in my case I don't hear it)
I guess its a setup issue - any suggestions?

Send *all* sound to BT headset?

Is it possible to have the Tilt on Vibrate mode and still have the stereo Bluetooth audio active? If I'm listening to my headphones, surely that means that I'm in a place where I don't want to have the phone ringing or alerts sounding off on the phone....
I'd like to have the phone in vibrate mode and all audio piped to my Jabra BT8010. However, when I move the volume sliders down and set it to "Vibrate", I lose headphone audio. Am I missing something?

Since all audio is now in your ear, you don't really need vibrate as you will hear the ring in your headset as well as any other audio..... There may be a reg tweak to get vibe and ring but I don't really see the point.

The issue is that my phone still rings (loudly). If I'm using the headset, I don't want my phone to ring. If I turn my phone to vibrate, I can't hear any BT audio (ie. no music in the stereo headphones).
What I want is to have my phone silent and still play music broadcast via BT to the Jabra BT8010.

I see, I didn't notice this. When I've been using the vibe toggle button while in meetings, I can use the BT headset and hear rings in it and get voicemails etc. I just didn't try to listen to any other stored content, hmmm.

If you go to phone settings, your able to send incoming calls to vibrate, thus allowing other sounds to work as well.
Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> Ringtype -> Vibrate

Sounds over speakers AND headset - is it possible?

Is it possible to have JUST calls over the Wing's headset, while other sounds for programs come over the speakers (Or to split which device audio goes to for each program?)

Bluetooth and ring volume

Hi everybody.
I searched but did not found answer to issue I having.
If I turned on BT my bt headset (A2DP) works fine, but on incoming call there is no ring sound on telephone speaker. When I checked phone i could see that is muted. My wild guess is that phone sends everything to headset because it is in A2DP mode and send every sound through BT.
How to fix this?
Headset?
Is your Bluetooth headset designed to handle calls as well as music? If not, that will be your problem. When I'm listening to music via BT headset, the phone rings through the headset, not the device speaker

What I want is to hear ring signal through device speakers as well as I don't have all time earpieces in my ears and I can miss a call

How to make ringtones not go over Bluetooth?

I have had this issue with a few phones and always seem to have to figure it out.
I have a BT earpiece. I want the phone to ring audibly and then put the earpiece in my ear and answer it. They way it is working now, if the BT earpiece is enabled, it only rings thru my earpiece. Imiss a lot of calls.
