Ringer & notification sounds through bluetooth only?

[MCL1981]

So it seems standard operation is that ringer and notification sounds play though the phone's speaker and through a connected bluetooth device. For example, a headset or my car's bluetooth audio. When the phone rings, the ringtone comes through the phone's own speaker, and comes through the car's speakers. But, as with any bluetooth device, there is a 1/2 second or so delay. So what i end up with is this bouncing echoy ringing that starts on the phone and ends on the bluetooth.

Is there a way to tell the phone to only play ringtones through bluetooth when connected? I do NOT want ringtones played out of the phone speaker when I have bluetooth connected.

I've noticed this as well. It would be nice to be able to do that but I haven't been able to find a setting for it.

Try putting ur phone on vibrate or silent.

Then there will be no notification/ringer sound at all through anything.

Well it works on mine that's why I suggested it. It's worth a test if it's that annoying.

Bluetooth audio widget in Google Play used to be good for this, but it seems developer hasn't updated his app in awhile.

In case you never found a solution, the bluetooth auto connect app in the play stored fixed it for me

Yes, but I confirm that in this case, no sound is played any more, even through BT headphone (on my SGS2 at least).
No it's not a solution.
If anybody has an idea...

That doesn't work on my Samsung Galaxy S4 with my LG headset, unfortunately. If I have bluetooth connected and select a ringtone from the list it plays over both. If I turn the ringer and notification volumes to silent, nothing comes through the bluetooth either. Did you make any other adjustments other than just turn your ringer to silent?

I downloaded the app called "Bluetooth Auto Connect" by UniqTec, and while it seems to be a cool program that does what it says it can do, I don't see how it solves the problem of sound coming through both the phone and bluetooth devices. Can you tell us what you did to make this work?

I have a Samsung Galaxy 6 s phone and a Motorola HK255 Bluetooth. Putting phone on, "mute" silences the phone ringer, but I can still hear the ring when my Bluetooth is on! :-} Problem solved for me! I hope this works for you too.
