Ringtone cannot be heard when jack/headphones plugged

This is a design question for the Phone app, not for pulseaudio. The Phone app might choose to, for example, play the ringtone just through headphones for the first two or three seconds, to give you a chance to answer the call without waking up people nearby; and then switch to playing through speaker, in case your headphones aren't in your ears. I'm not saying it should necessarily do that, that's just one possibility.

Unfortunately, the Phone app spec currently doesn't even mention ringing. <https://goo.gl/0hy3A1> The design for ringing should also describe what should happen if other audio is playing when the call arrives.

the dialer app is an application, it's not open all the time nor handling the ringing, reassigning to telephony-service instead

bug #1364647 is about the alarm issue

that seems like an important issue, can we get that on the ota7 list?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Other phones seem to always ring through speakers unless silent mode is on

not just Aquarius E5 is affected by this bug - also affects my Meizu MX5, and still not working following latest update

+1 on what pat said
we should ring through both headphones and speaker, unless silent mode is on then just through headphones

This has been fixed a long time ago.
Thank you :)
