I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but whenver I get a call on my iPhone 4s (iOS7) the ringtone plays through the iPhone speaker and my bluetooth headset. For messages, emails, and every other notification sound, it plays just through the headset, but not incoming calls. Is there a ways to stop that, other than putting the phone into silent mode?
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1.1
I had the same problem sending a bluetooth signal from my iPhone 6 to my P.A. system for my gigs. I fixed it going to <settings> <Do Not Disturb>, next: <Allow Calls From> And pick the option "No One", and down below: <All Contacts> After you finish listening to your music, e.g.: Spotify, iPhone music library, or whatever, you have to reset your options to receive calls again. There's no short cuts for this one. I hope this helps you guys.

No. The call itself plays through the headset just fine. I'm talking about the initial ring indicating an incoming call. It plays through both the headset AND iPhone speaker. Once I answer the call, it plays only through the headset. Considering the whole point of the headset is that you hear what's going on, and the world around you doesn't, it kind of ruins the subtlety.
sounds like you put it in speakerphone mode
this guide tells how to get it into speaker phone mode

doing the reserse would likely get it out of speaker phone mode
yes as I state when in speaker phone it play both out of the headset and out of the phone
No. It's not in speaker phone mode. I'm talking about before the call has been initiated. I'm not in speakerphone mode. As I said, once I pick up the call, it plays through the headset, as it should. The problem is that the RINGTONE that indicates an incoming call plays through both the headset, AND the iPhone speaker. It should only be playing through the headset when connected, as it does for all other indicator sounds.
Try putting your phone in do not disturb mode. You might have to adjust some of the settings to your needs, but it works. All calls and notifications are silenced and your music plays right on through.
Anyone found a solution for this yet?
I have the same request.
To have the ringtone of the incoming call only to play through the headset and not the speakers as well.
seems there should be a setting to turn off ringtones through the speaker when a headset is plugged in, or just be automatic.

Submit your feedback directly to Apple using the appropriate link on the Feedback page:
RandomSamurai: I have a similar problem... I have an iphone6 with iOS 8.1.2. I noticed that if i put my earphones that came with it and i play the sounds like mp3, text tones it can be heard in it. However if I play the RINGTONE it plays to both the speaker and the earphones. Any help welcomed. Thanks!

There's really no way for anyone to help you as that is the way it's designed to work. Whether or not you agree with that decision on Apple's part is another matter. Use the feedback link noted above to express your opinion directly to Apple.
My iPhone 6 plus used to only ring thru the earbuds when I had them plugged in. A couple of weeks ago, it started ringing thru both the headphones and speaker. This is very bad since I listen to podcasts at work and don't want my phone ringing out loud. For sure, it didnt do it before 8/2015.
Exactly same problem . Any changed ?
Prevent ringtone from playing through the iPhone speaker when a headset is connected.
