Listening to music while receiving a call

My previous phone was a Samsung i760 with WM 6.1. I use my all my phones as my MP3 player. It seems like the people in close proximity have an uncanny quality to get quiet moments before someone calls me. So on my i760 I'd be happily listening to music and everyone around me would become dead quiet, then my phone would ring. This is where the fun happens. The i760 would ignore the fact that I have headphones on and switch to speaker phone mode. After it did that it would freeze, but continue to blast music on the speaker. After a few seconds it would switch over to ringing.

Does the TP2 exhibit the same crappy feature?

From my experience. TP2 will stop the music (dropping volume gradually) and then ringing. Ring will be in your headphones. When you pick up the call, you will either use headphones, or if you unplug them, use normal earpiece.

Once call ends, music will resume right away. If you do not have headphones plugged in, you will hear it on speaker

so in other words this is not an issue on the TP2 lol if you didn't get that from his post

Thanks, that is awesome. I will be much less embarrassed now.

On the HTC Mogul, I also was wondering this. I ride the bus and was listening to some music, got a call and instead of ringing through the headset it stopped the music and ran blaring loud on the speaker. Sweeeeeeet.

I use it as an MP3 player for my car and when I mow and do yard work and it works exacaly as described above:

Music fades out to ringtone, then you pick up and hear the person through the headphones or you can unplug and use the handset. The music kicks back on about 2 seconds after the call is over, enough time to plug the headphones back in if you need to.
