Ring on Phone even if connected with Headphones

[wiseguy-bike]

Hallo,

what can I do to have the following behaviour:

I need to hear an arriving phone call on the mobile device even if I have connectet it to a Headphone (bluetooth or cable). (I often carry the activated bluetooth headphone in my bag but than I don't hear anny call because its only ringing in my headphone)

can anybody help me?

Several options. The easiest is when you put your BT headphone in your bag, turn it off. Saves your headphone battery, too.

The 2nd option is to disable A2DP on the phone. There are several apps out there that make this easier than going into Settings. I use a Today screen plug-in called A2DP Toggle, www.teksoftco.com, free. But the version I have is buggy.

The 3rd option is to disable BT on the phone, again there are tools out there that make this easier. A2DP Toggle can be set to also disable BT when you turn off A2DP.

I have never heard of a tool that lets you direct specific notifications to the various outputs but it makes perfect sense. There should be lots of options that we just aren't given in WM, like keeping the phone from turning off the backlight during a phone call.

The problem on this way is, that it takes some time to turn the BT headphone on. So I sometimes lost a call, because I was to slowly...
My BT Headphone has a standby Time from more less 5 days! - so battery is no problem.

The way to disable A2DP brings that I can't use e.g. Voice Command over BT Headphone, isn't it?

So maybe there is no solution for my problem?

(The Athena cant "talk" quit... so I need the Headphone, when I get Calls - I don't like that everybody how is around me hear what the "caller" tells me...)

Over the weekend I had headphones plugged into my phone with music streaming (via TCPMP) and a call came in. It switched the audio over to the external speakers, then paused it, and played the ring tone over the external speakers.

Just what you wanted, right? I'm using the AP4 ROM, don't know if that is the difference or just using TCPMP.
