Earphone's Buttons - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

So as you guys all know, the earphones that came with the phone have a button and a volume + and -. So when I plug in my earphones to the phone (phone is in silent/vibrate mode), and I push the button on the earphones, it starts playing audio out of my music player. However once I do that, my phone's sound settings gets flipped to unmute audio on no vibrate. Is there a way to make it just play media and still remain in vibrate/silent? It's annoying because even though media plays through the earphones, when a call comes through it plays out of my phone's back speakers.

Please post Questions in Q&A

Settings>sound>volume adjust ringtone and notification to silent and leave media the way it is should be good to go

Doesn't seem to work for me as I am using PowerAmp. The button will automatically initiate playback. I tried adjusting poweramp settings as well, but it's weird how it would just swap up Sound On/No Vibrate and this leads to phone call ring to be played from speakers even though my earphones are plugged in.

If you are using poweramp and still having this problem, I have found a solution. Go into power amp settings for the headset and uncheck the beep option.

This should fix it. I contacted them via Twitter and they're working on a fix. This only seems to happen on JB

Ringtone
Don't intend hijacking the thread, but while we are on the topic of the loudspeaker, what is the most "effective" ringtone (custom, or perhaps any other that you guys use), that is easy to hear, even at crowded places.
I ask this because I have turned off the vibrate mode on ALL notifications/calls.

that's fine, my answer will be, it varies on every person.. as for me the sense ringtone is fine even in crowded places. but you can always try and test some tones, you can download zedge, they have tones of tones to offer, all you have to do is try them, you dont have to download them, you can just listen to the samples first.

Phone set to vibrate - headphones also muted?

Hello,
I've noticed that at work when my phone is set to vibrate, if I plug in some headphones to listen to Youtube or whatever the sound is also muted. Is there an option to change this?
I came from an iPhone and when the phone was set to vibrate, when I plugged in my headphones i was able to adjust the sound.
any recommendations?

I can't be the only one experiencing this? Set your phone to vibrate, plug in your headphones, fire up Pandora, Spotify, Youtube etc and you hear nothing.
Only after you turn the volume up from vibrate will you be able to hear anything.
I must be missing something
Negative.
Just turned phone to vibrate, plugged in headphones, turned on pandora, and I'm hearing it fine.

Weird! For some reason that's not the case for me. Within Pandora the sound icon is set to vibrate yet no sound. When you click the volume button on the phone what do your settings look like?

System sound when having headphones plugged in.

Hi,
I noticed that when you have your headphones plugged in, some system and notification sounds still come from the speaker. Is there any way to change this except muting the phone or outting it on vibrate?

Not that I could find, Never noticed this on previous phones. I use a wired headset on my motorcycle and control the phone music or radio volume with the headset button. I can hear the time by clicking 4X and adjust volumes etc. but the phone still rings on the device when I get a call. Makes no sense. Headphone should mute the phone speaker period. If I mute the device I cannot hear the TTS Time announcements but can hear who is calling......
+1 to this
Neak kernel has an option to fix this in advanced audio settings.

[Q] How can I adjust media volume when phone is set to vibrate

I want to listen to music and other media applications on my phone but I want all other notifications set to vibrate. Is there a way to do this? Every time I put it on vibrate or silent mode I cannot adjust the media volume, it mutes it along with all others. I want to listen to music with my headphones but if my phone rings it will be on vibrate so others wont hear the ringing. I want all sounds to come through the earpiece would work also but I cannot find a way to do this either. This is with a bluetooth headset, not a wired headset.
I'm not sure but press the volume button at the left and press settings icon, move everything to zero (left) except media. . Hope it helps :thumbup:

As long as the ringtone volume is set to vibrate or mute it automatically mutes all the others and they are greyed out so you cant adjust them. If I move the ringtone volume over I can adjust them but then if I get a call my ringtone goes off!
If i set ringtone to zero then grey everything out as u say except media for me and thats what u wanted?

Yes I want ringtone to vibrate and be able to adjust media volume and not have it muted.

[Q] Getting phone to ring on Bluetooth speaker

Just got the Note II and am trying to get the phone to ring through a bluetooth media speaker. When I am selecting different ring tones they will play through the bluetooth speaker as well as through the phone, but when the phone actually rings it will only ring on the phone itself. I have searched through various forums and can't find anyone asking the same question. I've also tried looking for an app that will route the audio to the speaker, but no solution yet. Has anyone any ideas please?
Search for Soundabout in the app store. I use it and can route my Bluetooth sound, media and phone, to wherever I want it

Thanks for that, I'm trying it but at the moment I can get everything to play through the bt speak, apart from when the phone rings.
Make sure, in the Bluetooth settings for your speakers, that media and phone are connected. I have the phone ringing through my Bluetooth audio
sent from somewhere
My bluetooth speaker settings only have the option to use it for media audio, and not for phone audio. With my bt headset I have the option for both phone and media audio. I'm assuming that the phone ring is coming through as phone audio. The annoying thing is that every other sound will come through on the speaker, key presses etc, and the ring tones when I am setting the volumes, but not when the phone actually rings or when messages come in.
With SoundAbout there is no option for the phone call audio to be sent to an A2DP bt device, so I think I'm stuck there as well.
