I thinks its related to bluetooth hardware...I am not sure...I use blutooth stereo headphones and I can hear notification ringtones but when there is only one default ringtone for calls....
Even my roomies Moto Atrix do same for his bluetooth stereo headphines

My previous smart phone was a AT&T Motorola Q9h. It would play the ringtones over the handset until the bluetooth earpiece was connected then the ringtone would play over it and not the handset. I wish the Captivate would function this way.

The main issue is that the bt stact Samsung uses is crap. I also had a Q9h and loved it but for now this is the best we can do. IT will work if you are using sterio BT headphones but will not work on single ear

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

My bt headset is designed to handle calls.

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

More background? What would be the source and what would be the listening device? If you want to listen to music on the Dream with bluetooth headsets, then yes of course you can. Pair the devices, turn your headset on and press play in whatever music app you want to use.
the source is the g1 the BT is a generic bt I hit play after pairing and it plays out of the phone speaker.

Is it a stereo bluetooth headset (i.e. it has A2DP support)? P sure audio sources will only route to A2DP devices. Could be mistaken though.

youre right (unless you get lucky and it plays mono)
the earpiece is a jabra Jawbone threw the packaging out a while back so I don't know if its stereo or not If you call voicemail put VM on hold you can here music.

It's kinda hard to be stereo without two earpieces...

That's still actually just a telephone call. Actual mp3s playing on a phone will be treated as media audio (as opposed to phone audio) by the Android system.

[Q] Galaxy S plays music via blutooth

Hi guys,
I've just bought a new common Jabra blutooth and it works well on call, but I really want to know if there is a way to play music via my blutooth. I found that iPhone is able to play music via blutooth by jailbreaking, but I just can't get any helps from google and etc...
If somebody here knows the way, please tell me. Thanks a lot.
which model of Jabra did you buy?
only the Stereo version of Jabra will support A2DP and AVRP from Bluetooth to play audio, and remote control
working perfectly fine with my Jabra BT8010 and car stereo CZ509

It's BT125 sth...not sure, but it's cheap though. Anyway, I believe it can be used to play music
ya that headset doesn't support a2dp so i don't think its going to work.
I've got the Jabra BT620s - had them for a few years now, works great on the SGS, it supports A2DP & AVRP, when a call come in the phone pauses the music and the headphones switch to headset mode (ie phone mode).
Now the HTC had issues, some ROM worked Stereo, some worked headset, but I never had one which did both

[Q] using bluetooth headphones/ video

Hey all,
I have HD7 and listen to music when travelling, everything works fine. But just recently I attempted to watch a film and the sound will not play through the Bluetooth headphones, it transfers the sound to the speakers? Anyone know how to change this at all??

Hi, I noticed the same issue on mine and there seems no way to change it.
I will offer a thought on why i think is happening.
On my other Android phones only the Galaxy S actually did a good job of keeping the audio and video in sync when using Bluetooth A2DP. The protocol has buffering in it so for audio its no problem but video can be tricky.
I think they just set it to not use Bluetooth for video audio to save complaints.
shame.

Hello, do you have the possibility to call a contact with the voice ( voice dialing) by the headset like on the HD1 ( and not on the HD2) ?
Thanks

I don't know whether you can activate the voice dialing using purely the headset, but you can use voice dial through a bluetooth headset. Just connect the headset and then hold down the start button until it asks you to speak. It works no matter which app you're using.
It also works without the headset.
bluetooth headphones
Hi,
To Russ, i previously had a Touch Diamond 2 and used these same headphones and it worked perfectly. I actually believe it has something to do with Zune and the player that they use?, it cant recognise that a headset is attached and therefore reverts to the speakers.
With regards to activating the voice dialing, with my bluetooth headphones which are Sony ericsson ones, it has an answer button, which when pressed with no incoming call it activates the voice dialling just as usual saying the same "Call mum".

Thank you, goood news because the HD2's bluetooth stack wasn't able to hear the voice dialing by the blutooth headset , and it only works only by the HD2's microphone.
Thank you

I am not sure if you are still looking for this, but YES, the voice dialing can be activated using the BT Headset. I have a Voyager Pro Plus and it works just fine.
As per the original thread title, I am having the same problem playing video files audio not getting transmitted via my BT Headset, So I called HTC to ask them what was the problem. They confirmed it is a software issue.
He said, it was a WP7 limitation. May be the future updates might get that feature, but right now it SUX. I am not sure how MS managed to F#$% this up. I am really Pissed. I was waiting for ever for this Headset so that I can watch my movies during my commute with the convenience of a BT Headset, now the whole purpose is lost.

I'll take a stab at it. Bluetooth supports certain profiles. If you have a simple "Hands Free" headset, it may or may not produce music. I have Stereo BT headphones that function as a hands free headset (it also has a mic) as well as headphones for music. However I also have a low cost Motorola single ear loop and it only works for phone calls.
I think the type of headset you are looking for supports A2DP.
Or I might be completely wrong.
