Is it a hardware or software issue that I can not hear ringtones over my Samsung A2DP capable earpiece?

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
Anyone happen to have Bose Sound Canceling headphone (SC model) and try them with their Turbo? I've used a number of different headphones with my Turbo without issue, but for some reason my Bose ones only output sound to the left headphone. I have no issues using them with any other device. Very strange and curious if Im on the only one....
I first encountered that issue on my Moto X. Use the other Headphone wire that came with the Bose (the one without in line volume controls).
I have had no issues with QuietComfort 15. Just used them to and from London with no issues.

If memory serves the volume controls only work auth ios devices so I've only ever used.

Fixed Problem with Bose QC15 Headphones and Motorola Droid Turbo Phone
I had an issue where my Bose QC15 headphones would not work properly with my Droid Turbo. Once plugged in I could only hear though the right headphone. I found a solution on another post:

1. Disconnect the headphones to the phone and start music on any player(Google play or your choice) on the phone.
2. Once the song starts playing insert the headphones into the jack. Imp Note: remove the headset part from the wire.you should only insert the wire without having the headset piece.
3. Now the song will continue to play. Now switch on the headphone and insert the wire into the headphone. It should work now.

That worked for me. Headphones and mic are working properly now.
Not yet. But i am thinking to try one of them in future.
Hello there. I own a rooted moto g 2nd Gen, which I bought 3 months ago. Today, while I was playing Sonic Dash and listening to music through my Nokia wh 208 headphones from Google music app running on background, suddenly, the music stopped. I opened the music app to restart the music, however I no longer listen to it through my headphones. I rebooted the phone, but no luck on returning the sound to my headphones. I downloaded sound about and if I force stream the media sound to earphones, then I listen to the sound again through them. I conn3cted the earphones to a nexus 5 and they work fine, no soundabout app needed. Please, tell me that it is NOT a hardware issue, although it seems like one. I played sonic and music on the background several times before and every time the music stopped, I pushed the play button and continued playing through my earphones.
UPDATE: I tried Nokia WH - 205 and Nokia WH - 101 . Both of them were not recognised by Moto G and music was playing through the speakers. However, I inserted a 3,5 mm Jack to RCA cable and connected it to my Stereo Receiver and the music started playing again through the stereo receiver and not from the phone's speakers...
UPDATE 2: I also tried a 3,5mm jack to 3,5mm jack to connect it to my car audio unit and I can hear the sound and music from the car speakers again. So, it seems to me as an incompatibility issue with Moto G and Nokia Headsets. Am I wrong??
Moto G(2nd Gen) earphone non-compatibility issues
I recently switched from a Lumia Device to Moto g 2nd gen(not rooted), well the first thing i tried was my WH-208....i didnt work...there was sound output from the speakers of the mob though....
If u visit Mototola's site theres a post about this....unfortunately i cant post the link here cos im a new user..
do chk it out
the compatibility issues has something to do with the earphones ,,,basically the "Earphone standards"
so it goes like this...Most nokia earphones are of OMTP Standards and Moto G 2nd gen supports only AHJ Standard ones...
so i guess u( or i) cant use the nokia earphones on the Moto G

Hmmm, funny thing, they used to work when I bought the phone and for 2 months from then, but now they don't. What earphones do you use now? I am thinking of buying the iLuv Neon Sound.. What do you suggest? And, please, do send me the link you mentioned above through a PM. Thanks in advance folk.
I bought today the orange iLuv Neon earphones. The sound is back on my earphones. It was a compatibility issue indeed and had nothing to do with the jack. Thanks folk.
@xenocyte
Im facing the exact same situation with my new sennheiser cx-215 earphones
its a crap situation tbh
Dammmmmn, looks like its time to fork out for a new earphones
On a side note, can you please elaborate what exactly does OMTP and AHJ standards mean ?
Well, long story short: you might have noticed that the 3,5 mm jacks consist of 3 black rings, separating the metal into four pieces. The lowest one receives the sound for the first earpiece. The one above the lowest receives the sound for the second earpiece. Now, the difference between ahj and omtp is that the ahj jacks use the third metal piece for the microphone and the fourth for ground, whereas an omtp jack uses the third and fourth metal piece the opposite way (third for ground and fourth for mic).
@Jimisballjohn
Thanks for the clarification mate
But the sennheiser 215 has only 2 black rings around it, separating it into 3 divisions. Would that still count as incompatible ?

No problem folk. I've just checked that your earpieces do have only 2 black rings, which means they don't have a microphone. Hmmm, strange. Did you use any other earpieces to check if the problem is still there?
Hi people owners of Moto x i have a problem with my Moto x microphone i cant listen my voice when i speak normal even if i scream i just listen a few who know the fix?
Hi,
I've just purchased this phone, today I've plugged in a perfectly ok set of USB C earbuds with a microphone to listen to a podcast saved on the device and when playing media I'm getting a heap of hissing and crackling. the ear buds are from my previous device a HTC U12+ and the earbuds work absolutely no problem in the U12+.
Has anyone else had a similar problem?
