IPhone 4 ios5 I can't hear email or text alerts when connected to a bluetooth headset

Has there been any solution to this issue yet? It seems to be an iPhone problem as it happens with many headsets. When connected, using A2DP tecnology, it seems that I do not hear any alerts through the headset or the phone- lots of people out there complaining of the same problem. I tried a Jawbone Icon without A2DP and that worked but the incoming sound was terrible. I switched to the Voyager Pro+ and am having these issues now. I will return the Voyager and try what??? What actually works with the iPhone 4 on ios5???

That is the way it works and has worked since the introduction of the iPhone. Personally I do not know of any device that will send notification tones to the device when any headset is connected, wired or bluetooth.

  • On the iPhone 5/5s, can you hear the other person properly when they are lying down?

    When I use the iPhone 5s while lying down in bed, the other person is unable to hear me.  When someone who is using the iPhone 5s is lying down in bed, I cannot hear them. 
    Is this a known issue?  Has anyone else experienced this issue?  Does anyone know what causes this issue?  I actually used to have this same issue with the HTC One, and I was under the impression that it had to do with the accelerometer of smartphones.  I do not know of any other difference between smart phones and normal phones.
    It's rather annoying, such a basic feature of a PHONE product to be able to talk and hear clearly.  Major fail, Apple.  For this alone, I may consider switching to another phone.
    I have found other comments from iPhone 5 users who have the same issue:  http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/11/29/iphone-5-review/

    I don’t know if it’s because I have big hands or what, but there many times when people on the other end of the phone can’t understand a thing I’m saying. Specifically, any time I lay down flat on my back, the iPhone 5′s microphones seem to go especially bad. A few times, it’s gotten so bad that the people on the other end of the line hung up because they couldn’t deal with it.

    Please Apple.  Fix this significant bug/defect in your product in your next software update.  I know this is a software issue probably related to the Accelerometer detecting that the phone is not upright and then turning off the receiver.  Not sure why you would even want to do that.
    It is ridiculous that the iPhone cannot perform the most BASIC function of voice calls.  After all, that is what you buy the phone for... the texting, internet, applications are all bonus.  Phones are used while lying down, upside down, lying on the side, etc.  You are basically hurting yourself and your customer base with this significant design flaw.  Think about all the couples talking to their significant others when they're lying in bed first thing in the morning or last thing in the evening they are long distance.  Think about hospital patients who want to speak with their families.  Think about the homeless on the streets with their iPhones lying down calling people to give them money (or not...).  
    Anyway, you get my point.  PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix it.  I only recently changed from being an Android user to an iPhone user... this is seriously my biggest gripe with your product.

  • How can I download a new text alert from i tunes?

    I have an Iphone 4, How can I download a new text alert from I tunes?  I can download a ringtone, but not a text alert?

    ok thanks for that, it just seems daft that for such an advanced phone it wont let you do anything as basic as changing a text alert
    on a similar gripe, would you be able to tell me why the bluetooth doesn't appear to work either?

    My SMTP setting is gone from my iPhone and I can't send emails. How do I fix it? Under my email settings the whole server part is missing and I don't know why it's gone or how that happened.
    How do I fix it?

    Delete the account and re-add it.
    Standard troubleshooting steps from the manual are restart, reset, restore as new.  Which ones have you tried???

    Good news! I believe I have fixed my phone!!
    A friend of mine was having the same problem that I was having where you could hear other people but they couldn't hear you.
    We fixed the problem by redownloading the 4.2.1 update. 4th post down on this page: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1052794&page=5 is a list of links to the update files. I downloaded the one for my phone and did a restore (from a backup) after downloading the file and double clicking it so iTunes opens. Since I've done this my phone has been working perfectly again!
    It might take you a few tries, it took my friend 3 tries until his worked right and it worked for me on the first try. I'm guessing something was screwing up during the download.

  • Can barely hear the results in SpaceDesigner when used as Sidechain??

    Hey guys I have a question, when I slap a Space Designer in an Aux channel and use it as a send effect to a track why is it that I can hardly hear the difference? But when I put a compressor on the Aux channel right after the Space Designer I can then hear the difference?
    So ya. I'm sure something is not right, I shouldn't have to put a compressor everytime i wanna use a Reverb....right??

    What might be going wrong is if you also set space designer to an amount of 'dry' signal (upper right 1/4 circular fader). Normally, if you set the amount of reverb in SD to -10 dB and the dry amount to -∞ dB, and the send level between -10 and 0, you'll get a noticeable amount of reverb.
    So there are three ways to increase the amount of reverb: increasing the send level, increasing the ampount of 'wet' in SD, or upping the fader on the bus itself. I tend to use that initially, as it keeps the reverbs proportional when multiple tracks send to it. The 'wet' fader in SD basically does the same, but I like to park that around -6dB and balance it by using the AUX fader and of course the different send levels.
    O, and another tip: listen to reverb levels thru speakers, not thru headphones. It can sound okay via headphones, but then the monitors can reveal you are actually drowning things in reverb. I treat it as a spice: you should only notice it when it is gone, it should (generally) not dominate the mix.
    hope this enlightens a little,
    regards, Erik.

    My incoming calls aren't showing up on my screen and I can't hear any of my alerts, notifications, etc. What's up???

    This is probably some corruption in the settings file that stores the on-screen position of the Firefox window. Could you try the steps in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/980358 opens off monitor screen]. Any luck?

  • Email and text Notifications when on a call

    Is there a way to stop email and text notifications when I am on a phone call? I have a long email alert and message tone, and when I'm on a call and they go off, it's so loud and long I can't hear who I'm talking to.
    They can't hear the alert but it goes on for so long they waffle on and I miss a lot of conversation. Why is this not automatically disabled or set to silent when taking a call?

    Again,we shouldn't have to. I've been an iPhone user since 3G and its taken years just to get simple things that even 10 year old nokias can do. Since we can now use our own alert tones etc, they can't even get them to be quiet when on a call. I've no need to know I've received a text or email when I'm on a call.
    Always seems like apple don't think things through in the rush to get their gadgets out. Surely this is an easy fix that could have been sorted by now, there are enough complaints about it.
