LG V10 - Notification on the wrong audio path - LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I noticed that don't matter what audio out you are using(Audio Jack, Bluetooth Headsets) the notifications always come out both on the mobile speaker and the audio out.
I believe that is not as intended, as when you are on Bluetooth headsets, you wanna hear notifications on the headsets, not on the Speaker, especially if you have something like Text to Speak or read notifications setup.
The only way around this that i found is to set the phone on silent when you put the headsets in, but it's not very intuitive.
Has anyone run into this problem? has anyone found a fix?
Kind regards,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
I have the same "issue". A search on the internet showed that this is no a special issue of the V10 but one of many phones. Seems to be a general issue with Android.
You can use the app "SoundAbout" from the PlayStore to solve this issue. A free version is available but to use all features you'll have to buy the pro version.
in the setup of the app you need to change the options for "Alert behavior". I set "Wired Headset behavior" and "Bluetooth (A2DP) behavior" to "Headset only (override)" and "A2DP only (override)" respectively. That worked for me. The speaker is now silent and notifications are played only via headset. The Bluetooth options are only available in the pro version, the wired headset can be changed in the free version.
but I agree that this is an issue which should be fixed by Google.

[Q] Bluetooth App

I don't know if it exists but...
When I have my bluetooth headset on and my phone is ringing, I can't understand who is calling (if my phone is in my BIG bag)...
Does exist an app for changing tone with a Bluetooth headset connected, that ring in my ear with the name? I mean, like old Nokia metallic voice
Thank you!!!
I don't know whether it will work only when a BT headset is connected, and not at other times, but, there are a lot of apps on the market that can read out the contacts name. (Another missing feature on Android, that was there in all Nokia's...)

Bluetooth headset connects but can't stream audio

My Motorola H17 pairs and connects to my TP but there's no sound when playing music or audio. It works fine with my Optimus V phone using the BT-Mono app to redirect the sound out to the headset. I've tried BT-Mono which appears to function correctly (no errors etc), but when I switch it over no audio through the H17 although the tablet speaker is muted as it should be.
Is there something else I need to do on the Prime to switch the sound over, is it an incompatibility issue with this headset, or is there another app that would work? I've searched a bit and apparently others with BT headsets get them working with TP, but also found very little on the subject. Perhaps it's the lack of phone functionality with some headsets? I'd try another brand/model if I was sure it would work.
Thanks for any help.
Get audio manager from the market, there is both pay and free, pay attention to incall volume. It worked for me, seems incall volume is defaulted to zero at least in my case.

Bluetooth audio in car

Hello,
I was wondering if maybe someone experiences the same or if someone has a solution for this.
When I drive I like to use TomTom Go on my phone as my main navigation, I don't like the car's navigation. I have a new Peugeot 308 SW and it has a large multimedia touch screen.
I enable bluetooth on my phone so that when I am called, the audio of the call goes through the car's audio system. This works great but because I am using bluetooth, the audio from the navigation is muted. Looks like the audio via bluetooth of TomTom Go (but also Google Maps) cannot communicate with my car's audio system. This is really annoying and the only way to get audio from TomTom Go is to disable the bluetooth and then I get audio through the phone's speaker, which is fine.
I tried an app called SoundAbout for Android and this gave me the option to route "media audio" via speaker. So I thought that I had found the solution, unfortunately it also routed phone call's audio through the speaker.
So, to summarize: does someone have an idea how I can enable bluetooth in my phone, use a navigation app (like TomTom Go) and hear the navigation's audio? I am fine if the audio is then through the phone's speaker, as long as the phone calls are through the car's audio.
Thanks for the help and Merry Christmas!

Hi,
I've checked all the settings, in TomTom, Google Maps and Bluetooth, nothing helps.
I've been reading some stuff online and it's a very common issue. I do read that people using an iPhone don't seem to have this issue.
In Google Maps' settings I've checked that audio goes through Bluetooth, but no success. I guess it also has to do with the software in my car. My colleagues have the same problem. I guess when I use TomTom and I want to hear turn-by-turn guidance, I will need to switch off Bluetooth.
I will keep looking for a solution and will reply here when I find it. I just installed A2DP Volume Androi app but haven't test it yet. The description sounds promising, I hope this helps me.
You can try different navigators, like igo,that can use alarm volume setting instead of app volume setting, and it can be seen by Bluetooth speaker

Thanks PeppeBove.
I have Google Maps, TomTom Go and Sygic, not really looking for another navigation app.
I will keep looking for a decent solution.
Thanks for your input!
What is your car audio system? If it's Sony's, you can use Songpal.
you can hear voice from phone through your car audio if you change input from radio to bluetooth.
#1 Set up can be:
CAR
Input: bluetooth
PHONE
play music by bluetooth,
use your navi, and music will automatically go quieter when navi speaks
#2 Another solution is:
PHONE
in app, in voice settings or bluetooth settings, set up "use phone speaker instead of bluetooth"
It will play navi by phone, and calls will be like always by car system.
You cannot mix inputs in car system, so radio and phone bluetooth. When you have call, your car system is changing inputs, but it take some time. So if you would like to play it like that, you will have 3 sec of every communicate cuted off. So better use, solution #1 or #2

Notification/Ringtone sounds on bluetooth headset only

Hey guys,
I just updated my Redmi Note 4 Global from Android 7 to Android Pie (ArrowOS) and have the following issue:
Before, when I connected my bluetooth headset, I was able to receive all sounds (notifications/ringtones) through my headset using SoundAbout. (It switched to "normal" sound mode when BT headset was connected but bypasses all sounds to my headset only)
So no sounds went through phones speaker. And thats what I wanna have, when bluethooth headset is connected, all sounds should only be hearable through it.
Now, soundAbout doesn't work anymore (crashes on start - other ppl reporting same on Android 8)
Therefore, does anyone of you know a proper alternative app or work-a-round to solve my issue?
Many many thanks!

Is there a fix for the ringing issue when bluetooth headsets are present?

When connected to a bluetooth headset, no matter "what" ROM i'm using, it seems to not ring to the phone. I've used all the apps that are supposed to redirect sound and they don't work well at all.
Thoughts?
Same issue here.
