I'm sorry if this has been asked in the past, but I was wondering what happens to your navigation screen when a phone call comes in or when you need to place a call? Now it would be nice not to be doing several things at one time, but if a call comes in while you are trying to navigate, doesn't the call menu come on screen? How do you suppress that? Just wondering as I am looking to get a TP2 via AT&T. Thanks.
Dunno about other kit, but my copy of TomTom6 produces a popup on my iPAQ hw6915, and all I hace to do is answer the call (I use a BT headset with it when driving to stay roadsade as much as possible). The voice directions from TomTom remain muted while the call is in progress, by the way.
hi
While using GPS (GARMIN XT), the phone screen appears in case of incoming call.
I always use my bluetooth earphones while using GPS.
GPS voice will be thru the speaker and call on bluetooth.
After the call, the screen turns back the the GPS view automatically.
So I got a G2 and am now stuck trying to figure out how to trigger the Voice Actions application with a press of my headset button instead of the crappy Voice Dialer application. Phone is brand new and non-rooted. Should I be rooting this thing and removing the Voice Dialer or what? Pain in the butt to have to long-press the Search to trigger the better of the two programs.
Seconded; I'd love to be able to do this, along with maybe setting which media app to launch with an A2DP 'play' signal if nothing is running. At the moment it's a bit of a toss-up (and occasionally two start up at the same time, with different tracks playing).
I use my phone for work and just leave it plugged in whenever on a conference call, so the screen doesn't time out (checked setting). Now I love the feature of the screen blacking out via proximity sensor whenever not using a BT, just my ear, then the screen turning back on when I move my head away.
However, whenever I'm away from the charger and on a call using my BT earpiece, the screen times out very quick. And there's no way to get the screen back on using the power button at that point, as it'll just hang up the call. My BT does not have mute functionality, and there are times when I need to click Mute or use the dial pad... and at that point, I'm SOL.
I've put a Screen On widget on my desktop and in the notification bar, but the screen times out too quickly for me to remember to tick it. And that's a pain to do anyway on every BT call when not connected to power.
Question... Is there any kind of setting that once the bluetooth option is checked in the dialer, that the screen could stay on longer? Or would this need a mod? Thanks.
I switched to Tmo SGS2 (Stock rom rooted) from my Vibrant (Bionix V2) a few days ago. With my vibrant, when I long press the button on my Jawbone ICON bluetooth headset, it would start Google Voice Command even the screen is locked and I can call someone without touching the phone. With Tmo SGS2, the Vlingo Voice command would not start if the screen is locked. If I unlock the screen, Vlingo Voice Command would start and I can use voice command to make a call.
Is there a way so I can configure Vlingo to accept voice command even the lock screen is on?
Better yet, anyone knows how to get the Google Voice Dialer back? I tried Market but it is not there.
Thanks.
I'm on the road a lot and use a bluetooth headset all the time. On my HTC Amaze I was able to voice dial from my bluetooth headset but on the GN2 I can't get past the lock screen and when I do (get past the lockscreen) I have to use S voice. All I'm trying to do is use the voicedialing without ever picking up my phone. Unfortunately I've searched everywhere and can't find or figure it out. Is anyone else having this issue/know of a fix?
Simply pair your headset to your phone. Then with the phone on and you unlocked it, activate your BT headset while watching the screen. You'll need to accept a waver to activate it. Once it is actvated, you can use your BT headset. Youll hear a chime ti promt you to speak.

I gave that a try but unfortunately I still have to unlock the phone in order to use voice dialing. I use face recognition/pin & I'm using a Jawbone Icon.
The thing that annoys me is that I can do a redial(double press the call button) and it works without me having to touch the phone.

Having the same problem with BlueAnt Q1 and Q2. They both worked as such on my HTC G2:
(after all paired up and connected)
Push button on BT
Say "phone command"
BT responds "activating your phone's in-built voice commands on the connected phone"
G2 says "speak now"
I say "call Fred"
Phone dials Fred
On my SGN2:
(after all paired up and connected)
Push button on BT
Say "phone command"
BT responds "activating your phone's in-built voice commands on the connected phone"
Nothing happens
If I unlock the phone, S Voice is activated
I have some other BT devices, I'll see if they fare any better, maybe it is an issue with BlueAnt?

This is the same problem I have with the GN2, I've switched to a pattern lock and now I unlock my phone before using the Bluetooth. It defeats the purpose of being hands free. Once I get a car dock I'll go back to face unlock but this isn't very good. Luckily it's an easy work around and is probably one of the biggest problems I have with the phone. lol
Go to S Voice settings > check wake up in lock screen > set wake up command. ( i didn't do this part as i don't have pattern lock)
Open dialer > go to call settings > Accessory settings > Outgoing call conditions > Select Even when device locked.
Don't know if this helps but I can make calls no prob with my jawbone Icon. To activate S Voice you only need to press and hold the end call button on your headset and it should start up by itself. Once in a while you will not hear the special sound S Voice makes when it's activated (Don't know about headsets that don't support A2DP), that means it is not working properly. All you have to do is press the end call button on your bluetooth again and you will hear the end call sound. Then press and hold the end call button again to reactivate the s Voice, it should work again!
Thanks for your response.
I didn't have the Svoice set as you described, but the call setting was already set. Still not working. Can you try with screen lock set to "Secured with PIN"? That is the security setting required by my employer. I have tried it with and without "With swipe lock" checked. My BT is A2DP.

With the Pin enabled I cannot open S voice either.. That's kind of expected though because that's a security breach if I am able to bypass the lock screen just by opening SVoice. For company phones I guess security comes before convenience.
Thank you for confirming. Unfortunately, the workaround (putting the phone in car mode and leaving it open) is much less secure than letting me make a call from a paired device. Oh well.
