Speaking phone default? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

If there a way to make speaker phone as default for making and receiving a call? I would say 90 percent of the time I am using speaker phone and it's annoying to hit speaker every time. Be alot nice if I could hit speaker off if I didn't want it on a call.

Someone correct me if I am wrong....but, there is no native way to do that with android....you will need an app from the market for that....the app called "custom car home" works very well for this...good luck

I know you can do this hooked up via Bluetooth or aux not sure if it is without a accessory

Notification sounds using stereo Bluetooth on STOCK Rom

Hi,
In new gingerbread update when I am in my car using my mw600 as handsfree, I get a call BUT the earpeice is not in my ear. With the mobile not being in my immediate view I can't tell that there is a call.
Why? Coz the phone speaker doesn't ring when connected to stereo Bluetooth. This is since the gingerbread update on x10.
I tried cm7 by z and its a great Rom, also more importantly in regards to the above issue there is also a section in cyanogen mod settings which allows notification sounds to be played through phone speaker. I couldn't stay on this Rom because I wanted the stock SE camera.
My question is simple:
Can the stock Rom have any sort of tweaks to allow sound to be redirected to speaker when in handsfree mode?
Suggestions or point to any useful threads please.

Is that stereo Bluetooth? i.e using Bluetooth headset such as mw600? Also if u r using car Bluetooth, can you play music via car speakers from phone? If not then your scenario would be different to mine.
Also I must point that this is not a bug on my phone as I have experienced this with several installations of stock Rom.

Volume

Any way to increase volume....ita funny such a big phone yet so small of a volume.haha guessing we have to wait for cm9 or is there any mod we can do. The speaker is just so low. Watching netflix and youtube is an experience like no other....hearing it is a different story haha

It doesn't help any that the speaker is rear firing! I have a leather flip case on the phone so it's really bad
Lol a Bluetooth case would be awesome with a bigger speaker on it

+1 on equalizer, works on everything I've thrown it.
power amp is also the best, if you aren't using google or Amazon music clouds.

You can also use the app eRay Free or the paid version in the Android Market to fix the volume issue. Works very well...and a great task mgr app. This is for both in-call (headset) and external speaker volume fix.

How loud is your Loud speaker? For Media and Ringer etc?

Is it me or is the loudspeaker on the Note weak? I mean this is my third samsung phone, in all 3 phones the loudspeaker had to be turned all the way up to hear it enough. I had to sky rockets and 2 notes. When I'm using the speaker phone to talk to people it's very loud even at 50 percent. it's when I am listening to music or watch media I have to turn it all the way up to sound comfortable. I mean don't get me wrong, when it's a 50 percent you can still hear it but as far as the ringer is, It has to be turned all the way up to hear it completely. Even to listen to music at 50 percent,is really low especially when you're at work. This is my second Note, and they both sound exactly the same. Is this normal?

[Q] Notification sounds not playing through headphones

Curious if anyone else has noticed this / knows how to "fix" it.
When I have my headphones plugged in, the notification sounds (eg the default new message "whistle") comes out the speaker instead. The sound in the headphone (music) will mute during this. I've had to resort to turning the notification volume off during work hours, so the sound doesn't disturb others at work - surely these sounds should be coming through headphones while they are plugged in?
Hello,
I'm with the same issue! It's very odd...
Any thoughts about this? Btw, I'm not using stock headset (I'm not used to in-ear headphones).
Yeah add another +1 to this....!!!
Not tried with stock headphones I have a set of Bluetooth ones and I get all notifications through them .
I'll take look in settings .

Actually I double check again, theres a "notification" sound going through headset. the only problem is it's playing simultaneously with the phone speaker. Really annoying specially if I'm in the office cause others can hear the notification sound too.
An android bug, apparently

This is a long-standing Android bug that manifests on many, though not all, phones. Google for "android notification sounds headphones" and you find many complaints about it, and a Google bug report with comments going back to 2010.
There is a apparently an easy way to patch it if your phone is rooted (though I cannot find info on exactly HOW) and there is a script here on XDA for use with the Tasker app ($6 or so in the Playstore) that can address it.
Other than that, the only thing to do to minimize annoyance to your coworkers is turn notification sounds to silent when using headphones. There are volume profile apps that can do this automatically.
In this bug report https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6696 and this one https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=16667 it said that's a problem with ICS, that is supposed to be fixed in JB and that CM have their own fix for this.
Let's hope that S3 JB release will fix it.
this problem has been bugging me too..hope its fixed in the next update.

SMS/MMS Notification Sound Cut Off

Lately I've noticed my SMS/MMS Notification Sound gets cut off in the middle of playing.
I'm using the "Whistle" notification sound. It worked fine the first day I had my phone (today would be day 5 I've had it)
I've tried restarting the phone, choosing different tones, fixing permissions, clearing caches. So far nothing seems to be working
It looks like it gets cut off when the screen lights up from the notification.
Anyone else having this issue? And if so, have you found a fix (besides using a 3rd party messaging app like Go SMS). I have the Sprint variant, stock rooted (LF9)

Yeah I had the same problem
But it only happened when my wife would text me
I did the same fixes as u did thinking that would work, but it didn't so I erased that contact put it back in and now it works right
Good luck

Wowwwwww you know what? It only happens to me when my girlfriend messages me lol. Wtf? That's so weird! Maybe it has something to do the most frequently messaged person? Gunna delete the contact and test.
Thanks!

It does this If you set a limit for incoming texts and have auto delete on. Erase all the messages when your at the limit and it will go back to normal again

Oh that makes sense. I had my auto delete set @ 120 SMS. So I'm guessing what happens is once the thread hits 120 and you get a new SMS the notification gets interrupted by the system deleting the last message in that thread to make it 120.
Well this is all very helpful. Problem solved. Thanks guys!

Another work around for this is to use zedge to assign your sound. For whatever reason, it bypasses the issue and the sound fully plays when a new message comes in.
