Notification/Ringtone sounds on bluetooth headset only - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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!

[Q] Spice Smart Pulse M-9010 pairing

Recently I purchased Spice M-9010.
I paired it to my Asus Zenfone 6 and installed BT Notirfier app also.
Now I can view notifications in M-9010.
But, It is paired as a bluetooth audio device.
So, I am unable to pair bluetooth headset to my Zenfone.
Then I tried to pair bluetooth headset to M-9010.
That is also seems not possible.
Now the options before me are
If I want notifications in M-9010, I have to use it's speaker and mic.
or use a wired headset.
Actually, I purchased it to overcome the difficulty of handling 6" device for calls.
Now, that became impossible.
Please, guide me to overcome this issue.
I think, if I can pair M-9010 with some other profile than audio, it might be possible.
how to daydream it.

LG V10 - Notification on the wrong audio path

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.

Bluetooth phone audio not working

I've bought a pair of bluetooth stereo headphones with mic. I've connected them successfully and both options for phone audio and media are enabled. I can listen to media,music and audio from apps. The problem is when i place a call. Although on the call screen at the bottom left the bluetooth icon is selected the call's audio is redirected to the phone's earpiece not to the bluetooth. The same headphones work great with another phone i checked. I have tried everything from dev,stable roms to aosp rom.The problem persists on call. I've tried mono bluetooth and calling works great. I've tried the sound about app and all the same.I've tried google dialer but also the same problem. So i am left with a bluetooth headset that i can only listen to music and not place a call.Any help or idea?
I am also facing the same problem. The Bluetooth connection displays - "Connected (no phone)". The Bluetooth headset works fine for phone media but doesn't work for calls. Anyone is able to use a Bluetooth device with Redmi NOte4 please?
I've been using Bluetooth on RN4 on nougat. However, I faced the issue you're describing only on Oreo ROMS.

this is a bug prevalent in all oreo roms, however some say that in omni rom, bluetooth call audio works, so maybe you can try that out

I am using the stock MIUI 9.2 ROM and still facing this problem. Any help is highly appreciated.
No issue with BT calls on mido 9.0.5.0 or 9.2

It works in Atomic OS Plasma (Oreo).
BTW, there is a list of Oreo ROMs here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-4/help/extensive-list-oreo-roms-mido-t3741277
Yes exact same problem cannot enjoy call via bluetooth headset. I think it's manufacturer defect in the phone. Cheap Bluetooth hardware Xiaomi placed I guess

Is there a rom that fixes the ringing issue when bluetooth is connected?

On almost all of my other phones, there was a ringing both on the phone and on the bluetooth headset. My Vince seems to just "not" be able to ring calls (on the phone) when any bluetooth headset is connected.
I've tried those cheap "audio routing" apps but they are so unstable you never know when they will or won't work.
Nothing is silenced, it was like this on day 1 when i installed "any" custom rom, it was always the same.

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.
