Audio mute also mutes voice feedback.
While using an exercise like running or walking, playing a mp3 file from the GF2, the inteval guide set to 5 minutes (or something else). At the interval the mp3 is muted, you can just hear the voice feedback start but this is muted as well.
Only if there is no sound playing you can hear the voice feedback.
Already did a reset of the device a couple of times, but it doesn't change.
Anybody having the same problem or have a fix/workaround ?

Car stereo has bluetooth. I finally hooked up a microphone so it's usable in the car for making calls. When I place a call everything works fine, but when I receive a call I can't hear the caller, although they can hear me fine.
Anyone else experience this and find a fix?

Yes, I keep finding this myself and I have discovered the "problem" and solution
Basically, any incoming calls default to handset speaker and you have to manually tap "bluetooth" to transfer the call to the headset/handsfree. When making outgoing calls, it defaults to Bluetooth from the offset so no problem!
What I do not know, however, is how to force it to default to Bluetooth on incoming call...
I have not seen that issue and I use BT in my car a lot. BB351
Something else that could be the case: Are you listening to music through A2DP bluetooth at the time that the call comes in? It's possible that the transition from A2DP to headset protocol is what is "blocking" the call from going straight to the handsfree?
chaosdefinesorder is correct, you could have a misbehaving music app (or any other app with audio over bluetooth, such as navigation).
I know that PowerAmp and Playerpro both work well with bluetooth with the music stopping when a call comes in.
I was listening to FM radio at the time. When the call ends it always go back to whatever I was listening to.
So next time I should tap the phone button on the radio instead of sliding the button on the phone, apparently.

This was it. I have to answer the head unit, not the phone.
Operator error.
I have a unique question that I have not found the answer to yet, so I thought I would ask. Is there a way to delay the audio being sent to a Bluetooth device? I use a Bluetooth receiver for my hearing aids and when the phone sends any audio to the streamer my hearing aids switch to the Bluetooth audio mode, then play an audio tone letting me know it switched, and then finally play the audio. The problem is that it usually takes a few moments to go through these sequence of events and in order to keep the audio in sync with most things, cuts off part of what played. That means I don't hear short notification rings and I just hear the tone of my hearing aids switching modes. Therefore I have the tone also play on my phone's speaker. That is not ideal though. Any suggestions?

You're trying to find a way to delay audio notifications for things like text msgs so you can hear it in you hearing aid after the bluetooth triggers on? Don't know a way to delay the audio but you could try using longer files so at least you can hear the tail end of the audio.
You might also look into something like AutomateIt. You can set it up to trigger a notification whenever you receive a text msg and use the delayed execution function to delay the audio by a second or two. Unfortunately, you can only set that up for text msgs and not email or voicemail. You could also try Tasker. It's a lot more capable than AutomateIt so you might be able to set up something that meets your needs.
Don't know how much this helps you but hopefully it gives you some ideas you could look into.
Awesome suggestions! Thanks I did want to delay the audio and I will have to see if it works.

I have a very annoying problem. When I'm listening to music, podcasts etc. or anything with my head phones,and my device is set to either silent or vibrate when a notification or phone call comes through it blares through to my headphones especially phone calls. I use Viper to enhance my audio and listen to my music at a high fidelity and when a phone call comes in it is extremely loud through my headset. I'm running a ported rom Uncarrier V2. If anyone has any suggestions or a possible solution it would be greatly appreciated .
Thanks in advance!!
So I got the Kate version of this phone for a couple of months and I really like it. But today, it stopped playing sound from the back speaker when using media apps like Spotify and Youtube. If I plug in my headphones, it works just fine though.
Here is the fun part: If I start a song on spotify, go into settings>sound and change the volume for the notification with the slider, the sound of the notification is played from the speaker as the volume is adjusted. When the sound has played, it resumes playing the sound from spotify. But when the song ends (and another one begins) or I skip to the next song, the sound is gone again. As I am running custom rom(Aosp Extended), I'd thought it was just some weird bug. I did a complete reflash of another rom, Pure Nexus, but I still have the same problem. What could be causing this!? I have never experienced this with any other phone. At first I thought the speaker was broken, but it does seem to work. I still get notification and ringtone sound if I get a text or somebody calls me.

No one has found a solution to this?
Spotify keeps playing when listening to voice messages on Whatsapp & Telegram.
Tested it on multiple devices, different OSes, with a headset, without, using car's speaker and whatnot.
Whenever I'd like to hear a voice message while listening to music, the music doesn't stop, and is playing in the background, making the voice unhearable.
Actually, the only solution I've ever found to this is to Force Close Spotify, just before I need to hear a voice message. It's safe to say that this is not the intended behavior.
I tried various tools: apps for managing autoplay and volume, auto-freezers, even Tasker/Automate recipes - no solution yet, at least one I could find.
Can you suggest anything for me to try?
