Hello!
I bet many of you are irritated that in Sony Ericsson phones, when you connect the handset and a call comes in, the ringtone is played from the phone's on-board speakers and not through the earphones. However, you can change that. Simply follow the few steps below and you are all set:
Go to: Menu >> Settings >> General >> Profiles >> Handsfree (More >> View and edit) >> Silent Mode >> On >> C (back) >> Accessories >> Portable h-free
Done! Now, whenever you plug in the handsfree, the phone will automatically switch it's profile to 'Handsfree' and the 'Silent Mode' will be activated. Then, the phone will vibrate and ring in your ear when a call comes in. When you remove the handsfree, the phone will again switch back to the previous profile.
Hope you guys found this quite useful!
See ya!

Yeah, I use this same method all the time too. I just set my handsfree profile to silent and the call can be heard on the hedphones.

@aryayush is talking about plugging in the handsfree and making the ring come out through the headphones instead of the external speakers (which is default). Plugging in the handsfree automatically switches profile so there's no need to manually switch profile. Pressing the # only switches to silent mode even if you're not using the handsfree kit.
resistance is futile. |

If u activate silent mode by pressing # when handsfree is plugged in, (this will make the ringtone come trough the earpice) the phone will remember that the next time u plug in handsfree.
When unplugged it will go back to the setting u had before.

I dont switch the phone to silent when on handsfree for the reason that I dont hear who is calling.
I have voice dial and the phone plays their names when they call me. But the phone doesn't do that when it is on silent. |

The ring cannot be heard through the headphones by default in handsfree mode on my W800.
By editing the profile 'just the once', to silent mode the ring is then actually heard through the headphones everytime you have the handsfree set on.

great!! it works with my T630, I hoped it would work when playing pagmes but no, yet the good thing is that the camera shutter sound is heard through the hands free, wich is good could come in handy for those K-series users who can't turn off the shutter sound.
