Hey guys,

Just got my M8 last week and I love it, but there's one thing so far that has been bugging me. When either playing or streaming music via BT in the car or via headphones at the gym/home, I've noticed that my notification sounds will not come through. Every other android phone (or iphone) that I've owned that I can remember has always attenuated the music for a second to play the notification sound. So far, I have not been able to figure out how to get my M8 to do this. It doesn't even vibrate to let me know I have a text/email/whatever... at best, I'll look down at the phone and the notification light will be blinking.

So, can anyone point me in the right direction to get this feature working again?


Also, FYI - I'm on the stock, rooted ROM with Xposed installed and s-off

I actually like it like , I noticed it right away. I did look around all the phones settings even in the dev section and didn't see any settings to change the behavior.

Mine kinda does the same thing.
It just cuts the music for a second but i believe its because i use PowerAmp.
