Audio over Bluetooth and device speaker - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

When my phone is connected to my car's head unit, notification sounds play over the device speaker as well as Bluetooth.
Why is this? How do I prevent sounds from playing over the device speaker when Bluetooth is enabled?

Hmm, that's not normal. Does your Bluetooth device have A2DP enabled in the Bluetooth settings, or are you using an app to send sounds through to the Bluetooth device?

My Nexus S did it too, so it can't be that unusual.

Was that with the same bluetooth headset? I've owned at least 4 headsets and 4 phones to use them with and I never experienced the double sound.
Was it working before?

It's not a headset. I said so in the OP. In the very first sentence.

I assumed "head unit " meant "headset".
Since you aren't answering any of my questions, I won't be able to help you.
Good luck.

my jawbone icon does this as well, other than game or multimedia files, any sound plays thru both the nexus speaker and jawbone

[Q] Bluetooth with Aux Cable

I saw that this had been asked once before, but no suitable answers were given unfortunately. On my old Evo, I could play music through my stereo via aux cable, and the phone would switch to Bluetooth for calls. This meant cutting the music, and transferring to both the mic and earpiece for audio omy bluetooth.
Currently, the audio on my ET4G doesn't transfer to the bluetooth headset, but instead comes out of my car speakers. Any workarounds to get the call pushed to Bluetooth when it comes in, or am I stuck just unplugging the 3.5 mm jack?
For your info, I'm currently rooted and running Starburst 1.98, although I'm willing to change that if it can help with the issue. Thanks!
I've been wondering about this too. Seems like you can still talk through the BT headset, but the person you are talking to comes through the speakers instead of the headset.
And I am still completely stock and not rooted BTW.

Hmm . . .audio still coming through speakers for me.
It works while i'm my car dock so I guess it won't work through the headphone jack

you guys got it figured out yet, got the same problem
and havent found a solution....
did a search within the ET4G forums with the term "headset" and this is the best result..

Constantly losing Bluetooth when A2DP triggers

I have a Bluetooth headset that supports A2DP. All notifications and media play through it automatically, which I very much like. It worked perfectly on my OG Epic 4G, but on the Touch I've had constant issues where somewhere around 25% of the time that my phone sends it something via A2DP (usually a notification sound) my Bluetooth will disconnect, I'll hear its disconnect sound, then I'll have to wait a couple of seconds to hear it reconnect, which it succeeds at roughly 80% of the time. Otherwise I have to turn it off and back on to get it to connect.
Anyone else experience the same with theirs? Any thoughts on a cause/solution?
Are you rooted? What ROM are you running?

While I am now rooted, but otherwise stock, this problem has occurred since day one. It's not related to any customizations.
Am I REALLY the only one experiencing this? Seems surprising.
No. I thought it was my headset, and I was about to replace it.

All right, so we've got one more person with the same issue. Now if only we had some extra thoughts on a solution, or a line on this being something Samsung is aware of.
Since this got moved I'm not sure if it's been seen in this forum. Anyone got any thoughts? Similar experience? Idea of if there's a possible fix?
I'm have a problem playing bluetooth audio through my factory stereo
I'm have a problem playing bluetooth audio through my factory stereo, which worked flawless with the EVO. This is a show stopper for me because I travel a lot and listen to podcasts in my car. Since I got the E4GT I have been unable to stream BT audio.
I wouldn't be at all surprised to find out this is related to the same SoundPool bug that causes a lot of games to crash on the E4GT. I have no further info to help you, unfortunately; you can Google around about that. The short version is that that if it IS another symptom of that same bug, there's probably no fix.
I have a tiny Bluetooth USB jig that I plug into my laptop and my music plays fine through my laptop. I will test it out over a longer period of time tomorrow but so far its been great..

Groove IP

Anyone tried Groove IP on the N7? (or any other "phone" app?). Wondering how sound quality is through "speakerphone".
I can't tell you about the sound quality on the internal speakers but the apps is working great via Bluetooth

I tried it out. It works fine and seemed better to me than some of my phones.
I second that. It works perfectly

It worked better on the N7 than it did on my Nexus Galaxy.
wow same thing here. My Motorola Triumph is terrible on GrooveIP but sounds pretty good on the nexus 7. Thanks for testing everyone.
Did you guys change any of the audio/echo settings like microphone gain?

I used a pair of earbuds to negate the speaker/mic/feedback/echo issue. It felt like I was using an old school hands free kit , but my wife said audio quality improved dramatically.

I'll have to try it with my bluetooth headset tomorrow. On just speaker, the person on the other line said they kept hearing an echo of their own voice. I tried lowering the microphone gain and enabled the echo canceling setting but still the same result.

Can the N7 use Earbuds with built in mic? Does the N7 headphone jack support this?
I tried GrooveIP Lite as a test. I'm getting varied results from call to call though.
I'm using a Samsung WEP 470. I turned up the BT mic gain to 1 and now the other person hears me fine. And I hear them fine. The problem is that I sometimes hear them five to ten seconds LATE. I haven't had any of the echo problems or anything else. But the lag ranges from nothing at all to ten seconds. I'll test by calling the same number a few times. Sometimes it's fine...other times the delay makes a conversation impossible. It's like talking to someone on the moon.
Have any of you run into this? How did you solve it?
Thanks!

There's an "Echo Test" number you can try 909-390-0003, that sort of lets you know how "fast" the response at the other end is. Also tell if there's echo.
In settings you might try changing "Troubleshooting/Mic Buffer" to small.
I don't talk a lot on it, but has been OK.
I'm using it without headphones or Bluetooth, works perfectly.

GrooveIp is working great. I used my old HTC G2 wired headset with mic. Made calls on tethering 3g and 4g with no problems. It would be nice if messaging and voice were integrated so I can use it all one app.

I have had no problems with A2DP on both my Note 1 and Note 2.
Having you checked that "Media Audio" is selecting in the pairing options on the Nite for your head unit?

Ringer & notification sounds through bluetooth only?

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.

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.

Hey Cosmic Phoenix,
I can see there are at least 20 apps with the *exact* name in the Play Store... Could you tell me which developer specifically the 'Bluetooth Auto Connect' is made by please?
