Ringing not through headphones but external speaker

[repinphilly247]

I noticed lately that the phone rings through the external speaker and not through headphones when I have them plugged in. I thought it did ring through them previously and maybe stopped after I installed an app. Does anyone else have this issue or is this normal?

I'm asking bc i take the train and don't want text messages / email ringtones to play loudly and disturb other people, but I tend to miss them when the phone is on vibrate in my pocket

This is one of the things that frustrates me most with this phone. Maybe that's a good thing that I don't have bigger things to complain about, but I can't understand the logic behind making this a stock setting. As far as I can tell, there is no way to change it. Hopefully somebody else comes on here and offers a solution. Also, I believe the sound comes through both the headphones and speaker when the headphones are plugged in.

Agree.. my music plays in the headphones but all my alerts play externally.

I'm just glad I'm not the only one.

Now, has anyone found a solution?

I fixed it using Tasker! Lemme know if it works on your phones.
