Xperia Z, mute wont work when headset is plugged in.

Hi, I got a question for my first android phone, Xperia Z.

I noticed the other day that my ringsignal-mute wont work when the headset is plugged in, even if the mute-icon is showing on statusbar. I haven't noticed it before.

At home I always got my phone fitted in the stationary charger and I have to unplug the MH-EX300AP-headset to mute my ringsignal when I need silence.

I haven't found any similar problem in the forums yet.

Or is it a settings issue?

Android version 4.2.2

System version 10.31.A.0.244

When you have the phone on mute and have a headset plugged in the ringtone will still ring in the headset but not in the phone.

Ok, I noticed after my SUS repair my phone still was ringing when headset is plugged in. It must have been the headset speakers that woke me up then.

If I want to listen to audiobooks to get asleep I will get waken by the phone ringing when I dont want it...

Isn't there a way to fix a ringsignal mute on the headset aswell?

Not a way I'm aware of. But you can change the ringtone to none. Go to settings > sound > phone ringtone > none (at the top). Otherwise it might be possible to mute the ringtone in the headset using a 3rd party app.
