People usually connect their phone through Bluetooth with speakers to listen to music. When a phone call comes, it rings through the speaker exceedingly loud even though the phone is on silent. If you are a music maniac, pointless notifications are very annoying. Also, this can be embarrassing especially when you are at work. How can you stop the ringer from ringing on the speakers through the Bluetooth? Or can you make the ringer volume lower? Below are the solutions for the stated problem.
Stop Ringing Through the Bluetooth Speaker when the Music is On
Bluetooth Settings
After connecting your phone to the Bluetooth device, go to your phone’s Settings then Bluetooth Settings. Under the section Bluetooth Paired Devices you will see two settings for the paired devices: phone audio and media audio. Uncheck the phone audio option. This will stop your phone from ringing while connected to the Bluetooth device (speaker) but the music will stop when a call rings.
Notifications
You can turn off your phone’s notification sounds in your phone’s Settings and you will not hear any notification or any call. The problem with disabling notifications is that you will have to manually check your phone to make sure that you do not miss any important call or notification.
