I'm trying to find an app, widget, or whatever that will completely disable the speaker on my T-Mobile G2 if a headset or BT is active.
Currently, ringtones and notifications come through the headset AND the speaker at the same time, only media comes through just the headset. If a headset is plugged in or BT enabled, I think that the speaker should be OFF. (WinMo has always done this. -- I just discovered this "feature" about Android while trying to adjust some ringtones while on an airplane with my headset plugged in - very embarrassing...)
Any and all suggestions would be welcome.
I've looked at several volume control apps, but few seem to support this feature. I tried Advanced Audio Manager that does have profiles for headphone and BT, but they either don't work on my G2 or just disable ringtones completely.

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
Whenever I turn my Cardo S-2 a2dp stereo bluetooth headphones on, the headset bluetooth profile kicks in, and calls immediately go to the headphones.
Can this be done with the bluetooth stereo headphones profile for listening to music as well? Currently, I have to click on BatteryStatus's bluetooth icon in the systray, click on a2dp, wait for the profile to kick in, and turn the volume from vibrate to full. It's a pain in the ass every time I want to listen to music.
Ideally, if it's not built into the OS, there should be a little systray app that would poll to see if any headphones are within range, then automatically enable a2dp and set the volume for you. When they disconnect, it would go back to your previous volume setting, not just 0 volume like it does now.
I don't know about the Cardo's but when I hook up my Motorola S9 my music is automatcally hooked up as well. When you sinked your Cardo with your phone through the Bluetooth conection settings did you set them up as handsfree and Stereo, or just Handsfree?

Yes, it was set up as stereo (as well as handsfree), but music does not automatically play in the headphones when they are turned on. I have to start a2dp and take it off vibrate in order to play music.
Same problem here. I solved it by installing A2DPToggle, and making a shortcut to turn the music on the headset in the system tray through Traylaunch
I also use A2DPToggle and use the plugin that stays on the Today screen to control when I use it.
But just like this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351697 ) you can find all sorts of different options.

Does anyone know of a reliable Bluetooth Audio App? i tried (what seems to be the only one on the market) Bluetooth Audio widget app and it does the trick... it transfers all the sound like music, gps directions and phone call to my jawbone. The application itself crashes all the time and the widget it self is non responsive sometimes and you have to remove it and add it again.
I'm not sure what you mean. I have a stereo bluetooth headset for running and such and all I do is enable bluetooth on my phone and turn on the headset (it was one I got on new egg by motorola and will take calls as well). Anyways it automatically transfers audio after that to the headset only. I assume this is the way out normally is for any headset.
Before the KitKat update, Moto X would automatically mute whatever audio was playing through my car stereo (non-bluetooth audio, CD, radio, ipod, etc) when I interacted with it. This included texts via Moto Assist, Google Maps nav instructions, or even speech with touchless control. This was one of the main features I loved about this phone.
Now since the update, my phone doesn't mute my car audio any longer. I've tried unpairing and re-pairing the phone with no luck. The muting works fine when playing music from my phone through the bluetooth media option in my car. But it used to also work with other audio from non-bluetooth sources as well. The "Phone Audio" and "Media Audio" settings are checked in the bluetooth pairing on my phone, and the "mute audio" setting is checked for bluetooth on my car. I know that Google introduced some new Bluetooth functionality with 4.4, so not sure what settings might have been changed.
Anyone else have this issue, or know of a fix? For what it's worth, the car is a 2013 Volvo S60.
No one had this issue?
I upgraded to the Moto-X for the touchless controls as I commute to work and back on my motorbike and I was really unsatisfied with alternatives floating around to simulate touchless control.
Now when I am in my car and using my bluetooth headset the voice control works just fine, I can navigate, call and send quick messages no problem
But on my bike I use a Viper RSv-131 helmet which has bluetooth built in and I listen to local radio or music whilst I'm riding but my Moto-X does not respond when I cay Ok Google now or when I press the button on my helmet either I can answer incoming calls fine but thats it.
Does anyone else use a Moto-X on a motorcycle/motorbike or even a regular bicycle with bluetooth and do you have similar problems?

Thanks Etcetra, I have bluetooth headset option turned on and it works using my BT headset in the car.
My gut reaction is my car headset is a regular over the ear BT headset but my helmet is like BT stereo headphones with a microphone and so I think it's a different kind of BT but I'm not an expert.
Any advice would be welcome
Check to see which profiles are connected on each device by going into Bluetooth settings and tapping the little settings icon next to the connection.
My helmet comes up as BLINK II and is ticked for phone and media audio

That's unfortunate as it suggests an incompatibility issue between the two. It should certainly work using the phone profile.
Check with the helmet maker... maybe they have a firmware update available.
Turned off media audio and just tried phone audio but still the same: (
