Notification sound with handset - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Maybe I don't understand something but I really don't get why when my handset is connected,
if I receive an email the notification sound comes out from the phone speaker.
I searched a little and I think it's an android bug but as I'm trying different roms I can tell you this: with stock kernel whenever I received a message either notification sound and music I was listening to came out of phone speaker, now with Franco's kernel only the notification sound goes out and not the music. It's better but it's not the behavior I expect.
Do any of you have this same problem?
Thanks
Vincenzo

Skype mutes all other system sounds?

Hi guys, can you check this out?
When I run skype on my 2.3.5 I3 firmware, it completely mutes all sounds other then skype, like ringtone, alarms, notifications etc. This is also valid, when you exit Skype!
In practice it means, that when I ran skype yesterday evening and turned it off before going to sleep, my alarm did not wake me up to work... I mean it did, but I could hardly hear it...
I hear no sms messages notifications, no phone call tones - nothing.
What I have to do is reboot the phone or kill all background processes and turn the volume down and up - then it resets itself to the proper previous values.
Thanks.
Hmm. I've noticed something similar where after using either music player or scanner radio it looses all notifications. I had also thought it was something to do with the headphones cause they make my phone unresponsive sometimes and I need to unplugged and replug to get sounds. Do the notifications come through the headphones after the Skype thing? Do you use headphones with Skype?
I had concluded myself its something to do with the headphones being faulty until I tried a few different pairs with the same result so its back to the drawing board huh. I'm about to root and flash something new to see if the problem follows too. Will help narrow it down a fair bit or atleast send me in the correct direction.

No, it has nothing to do with headphones.
Headphones don't work with skype or any other multimedia app anyway, I mean the speakers do, however microphone does not work on the headphones (bluetooth ones as well as the ones on cable).
You just run skype and then you notice, that all sound is muted, that is it
Weird. I'm a little unimpressed with my 9100. Its buggy as hell, crap battery and is the redhead step child of the S2 series... meh. I'm back on my galaxy tab and I gave away the 9100t . T is for Terrible trash IMO so i even made sure it didn't go to anyone I actually liked... Epic Fail Samsung. Worse than stock Galaxy tab.....

Ringtones & Notifications play through speaker instead of headphones

On my Nexus S with ICS 4.0.3 I noticed a behaviour which I find a little bit annoying and useless. When I have headphones plugged in, the output for Music & Games etc. goes through them, as expected. However, Ringtones & Notifications, as well as Alarms, still go through the speaker. So when you listen to Music in the Subway, or wherever, and someone calls you, the Music will suddenly be muted via the headphones and then the phone rings through the speaker on the back, instead of your headphones.
I asked a bit around and found out, that it was always this way in Stock Android. At first I thought there may be a problem with my phone, since I didn't have this behaviour on my old HTC Wildfire. But apparently HTC deliberately changed/fixed this behaviour in HTC Sense.
Is there any way to fix this, without switching to another ROM completely (I hear CM fixed this as well for instance, but MIUI does not)? I'd like to stay at the Stock ROM for now, may be with some additional changes/extensions installed through ClockWorkMod.

This happens as well on my skyrocket and t989, is there any fix?

[Q] Rings and notifications through headphones only--fixed in CM9?

My problem is this--when I have earphones plugged in, notification and ring tones come out both the earphones and the external speaker on the phone. This is a problem in ways Tasker/Llama cannot solve that I have seen.
I would like to be able to have earphones plugged in and have rings/notifications/alerts play only through the earphones, and not out the external speaker.
Is there a hack/ROM/app that will enable this to happen?
This comment says CM has done this since CM7. Can anyone confirm it's working in the latest CM nightly? I wanted to wait as long as possible before rooting and ROMing, but if it fixes this problem, I'm up for it tonight.
Thanks in advance.
I've had this problem on all ROMs from stock to CM9. Am I just being dumb and haven't figured out how to send all sound through the headphones? Because it seems extremely strange that the device would even be set up to force sound out of both the headphones AND speakers, under any circumstances.
Anyone got any ideas? Many thanks!

[Q] Low In-call "Notifications/Alerts" Volume?

Greetings All,
This is different from the regular low in-call volume complaints, my in-call volume is loud and clear. The problem is in the in-call notifications/alerts volume, for example when I receive SMS or a WhatsApp message or a call waiting, I do not hear anything at all, and if I'm in a very quiet place I might hear a very low sound of these notifications/alerts. when I hang up, I find the missed alerts in the notifications bar.
I tried everything. Checking the sound settings, revising the installed apps, replacing the SecPhone apk, changing the kernel, wiping and starting over, even trying a different ROM for my Note 3 N900. Nothing works, and I've been missing very important work waiting-calls because of that for over a month now.
Any ideas?
Up
Anybody?
Anyone please?
After nearly 2 months, I found out - with trial and error - that my low call waiting beep problem was a ROM-Kernel combination issue, which is very weird and doesn't make any sense, but now I've changed them, and everything is fine again.
This post is for anybody who might face the same problem, hope it comes in handy.

Audio leaking from headphones to speaker

As tittle says, if you are listening to anything via headphones, and you receive a call, or adjust the volume of ring or alarm via sound config menu, your music will leak as soon the call stops, or the audio adjust rings out.
this can be very embarassing and annoying, as i tried with different headphones and a lot of roms (miui 8stable/beta, miui 9,aosp/Los based, xiaomi.eu and on top of that, different kernels)
(this is different from audio leak when you take a screenshot or use camera when you are on customs, though some roms already fixed it)
Try to reproduce it by yourself by putting some music and putting up a fake call with some APP from play store, or adjusting volumes from settings sound tab.
if you have this problem, comment below.
As i'm pretty annoyed with this, and cant fix it, i want to know if are more ppl with this same problem
Edit: after trying multiple times, ONLY stock stable miui (8.2.10) doesn't have this problem, would be nice if we could fix this on customs and i would be willing to help.
