Ring signal ONLY in headset when attached + MP3 question

6 replies · 3,284 views · Started 17 January 2003

I'm not sure whether I'm missing something here or not, but when I have my headset attached, the ring signal is only played back in the headset.
Often, ones has the phone in the pocket along with the headset, taking the headset out when the phones ring. We're not supposed to walk around with the headset all the time just to hear the signal?

Furthermore, if I'm listening to a mp3 track and the phone is ringing, the mp3 is turned off.. very good.. but when the call ends the mp3 doesn't start again, forcing me to go digging in my pocket, open the p800 and start the tune again. Is this a setting or fact?

well if that were really the case then that would really suck.....did you guys ask SE......if you guys did then what did they say about it?

Well, how long did the calls last usually? It could just be that the MP3 tune was over before the call ended. I think when the phone rings, the P800 only mutes and does not pause the audio player, I could be wrong about this, though. Unless, of course, if you had "Loop" turned on, then it would be a different story.

No, I did a test - Started a 4 min long tune, called the cellular from my regular phone, the mp3 muted, I hung up, the mp3 is still muted... all this within approx 20s, so I don't think it was finished 😊

I also noticed that... And I didn't get mp3s to be played as ringtone. Is this a bug or am I too stupid? 😉

I got the same problems, everytime someone calls in or something, I pick it up, hang it, and I have to click play manually. The track will continue on as if being paused and.. well, remains paused.
