The stock dialer has a "headset" button you can click so that calls go over bluetooth to my car stereo and external microphone.
My favorite dialer app (rocketdial) however, doesn't have this "headset" button. And I have yet to find a quick/easy way to make the call go over bluetooth to my car stereo.
So I searched the Play store and NONE of the other dialer apps have this "headset" button either. So what is it that I'm doing wrong? What are you guys doing to quickly accept an incoming call?
I'm usually on my USB audio out, listening to music. So that's probably why I'm having trouble with this?
But again, the stock dialer has that "headset" button that I quickly push and it goes bluetooth for me.

Download car home ultra from play store and all is good.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I use car home ultra when I'm driving for all the other features, but even before that, all calls went straight to my car regardless. As long as I have bluetooth turned on, on my phone, my car would sync to it the moment I turned the car on.

HI!!
I've just bought the official Samsung car holder / dock.
i1.expansys.com/img/b/217880/samsung-car-holder-for-galaxy-s-ii.jpg
I's all perfect, the mp3 and the navigator goes directly in the stereo.
But if someone calls me i hear the voice via the speakers of the phone and not through the speakers of the car.
Why everything works with the car stereo and not the calls?
Mine, too.
I've got all calls via phone's loudspeaker.
Also, when I dock the phone, it automatically opens Vlingo and continuously asks me to input a voice command...
Problem with calls via speaker rather than stereo is discussed in a few threads, no solution.

Could you be more precise?
I installed Titanium, found the application, but in the menu there's no way to freeze it...
Thank you so much.
Single-tap on the Application in Titanium, dialog will appear with Freeze button on it. Can do this for all the other useless applications too...
do you have a link to the car holder?

Hello,
I recently bought an FM Transmitter for the car, and I am looking for an app that does that following things:
1. Automatic Pickup and routing to the FM Transmitter (so the sound plays on my car speakers)
2. Automatic Text and Email Readout to the FM Transmitter
3. HandsFree voice so when I say a keyword, the phone voice search will activate (even when the screen is locked) (or the phone to always go back to google now after a call or a text)
4. Also, when playing music or during navigation, when a call is coming, it should automatically pick up.
Are there any apps that offer all/most of these features?
Thanks
Have you tried Car Home? I know that is a popular one..

No, that doesn't have auto pickup and it doesn't read out messages to you.
I've tried Lazy Car, and it fulfills my requirements but it is extremely buggy and only works half the time. Sometimes the phone auto answers and the call routes to the headset on the phone instead of the car.
So should I be hearing music through my handsfree?
I used my phone for GPS for the first time and I love hearing Nav notifications through my handsfree set. What I couldn't figure out is how to keep using my handsfree set without music playing through it. Nothing would play through the AUX port of my car stereo unless I turned off my handsfree.
I want to be able to hear music through the car stereo and notifications / calls through the headset - is that possible?

I don't think it's possible. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think your phone manages both at the same time. You could have them go through the same one tough. That's what I personally do, both on bluetooth audio system (car).
How did you manage to get it to play on both? For me it seems like it has to be one or the other

Both on bluetooth? I simply have both running at the same time.
My issue was that it seemed like I can only do one or the other. I saw in the settings for my voyager legend that you can make calls through headset but have music still play through car stereo
That works

Not sure I completely understood what you're trying to do, so this may not be what you're wanting.
But if you go to your Bluetooth pairings on the phone and then go to the settings for your Car Stereo Bluetooth pairing, there is an option for either Call Audio or Music Audio. You can de-select the Music Audio so that only Call Audio plays through Bluetooth to the Car Stereo.
All I want is to be able to still hear navigation notifications in my headset while still be able to hear music through car stereo. That doesn't seem possible. I either hear it....
1) All in my headset (phone calls, music and notifications) or car stereo
2) Phone calls in headset (and navigation notifications if I'm on the phone) with music and notifications in car stereo
But I want it to be phone calls plus all notifications in headset regardless if I'm using the phone and music in car stereo

I went ahead and did a little search. Android seems to do it on it's on so I'm not sure why you can't connect to both and hear what you want in both.
I personally don't connect to 2 devices at the same time but I do get/hear everything in my car audio system (navigation, music, calls, notifications) and that can all be at the same time. The music sound will just lower when navigation girl speaks and when a notification comes in.
Now I dunno if you searched for this but I did find a app that might help (can't try it myself as I only connect to one): Smart Bluetooth Widget Free. There's also a paid version.
And like the other guy mentioned, you can select in the bluetooth options what you want to be streamed through it.

I love this phone so far, but one issue has me wanting to send it back to tmobile. My car comes with a Bluetooth stereo, and I have it paired with my m8. The problem is with the phone's OS and Bluetooth prioritization.
When I place a call, a window pops-up and asks what audio method I want to use. It is unnecessary, but I could live with that.
When a call comes in, it always defaults to the phone's internal speaker. I have to take it out of my pocket and manually select Bluetooth audio. Sometimes it doesn't even switch over after it is selected.
Is there a way to make it always default to Bluetooth audio when connected? It is driving me crazy!

Hi.
I can't get OK Google to work via my bluetooth microphone.
I have the Google app open and it says "say OK Google".
It works 10/10 when I say it directly into my phone.
When I press the microphone button manually, it picks up 10/10 commands via my bluetooth headset.
Ok Google detection is ON for the Google App. (and it works via phone)
Hands-free -> For bluetooth devices = allowed
"Record audio through bluetooth headset if available" = ON
When I do the "OK google voice model" guide, where it asks you to say OK Google 3x, it doesn't listen to my headset at all. It picks up nothing.
As I said when I press the mic button manually it works 10/10, there's nothing wrong with the bluetooth set or connection.
Any ideas?

I don't think "OK Google" is intended to work from the microphone itself. A long press of my headset button brings up Google Now without saying "OK Google". I trained it for my voice on the phone, just in case I ever want to use it without the headset.

Yes the "OK google" is intended for the microphone... how else are you going to say it? The only thing is that android chooses to listen to the internal microphone, and then when you say OK google into your phone it starts checking for bluetooth devices and it switches listening to that for the actual command. At least, that's what's happening on my device.
Why wouldn't they make it so it listens to your bluetooth device in the first place? It's connected so you can assume you are using it (they apply the same principle for audio output).
I use a bluetooth headset on my helmet, and the buttons are already used for play/stop, and forward/back.
But that's not the problem, I can easily launch Google app with a tasker whenever I connect my bluetooth device.
I found a workaround though after trying about 10 apps, most don't work.
Smart Bluetooth Headset allows me to remap functions (not buttons, which never works for me) of my bluetooth device.
I've now set it to replace "redial function" with "Voice assistant" which basically opens Google app and starts listening. Great because I didn't like the redial function anyway.

I guess we have very different headsets. My Plantronics Voyager Legend uses one tap to answer or end a call, double tap to redial the last number, and long press to activate Google Now or whatever else you choose to program it to. It sounds like you have programmed a button to open Voice Assistant, which accomplishes the same thing as my long press.

Yeah, that's because it's not a bluetooth headset used primarily for talking, but more for playing music.
Still I don't see why android is using ONLY the internal mic even when you have a bluetooth A2DP device connected.

I'm guessing that having the microphone on all of the time would kill the headset battery pretty quick. When Chrome enabled Google Now on the desktop, I could never get my headset to trigger it either. The only way I could get it to work was to click on the microphone icon on the screen.

Well I guess it's a valid point, but in my case (I use it on my helmet) it's always playing music anyway, so it already has a constant connection to my phone.
For other people, it wouldn't be a problem either because it would only have the microphone on when the Google App is in the foreground. So if you don't need it it's not used at all.

I use the same headset and I experience issues with the long press-action. When I do so, the phone replies "wait", the screen says "Initialising", there's a slight static in my headset and then - nothing...
Latest firmware is installed and I have ticked the bluetooth recording-box in GoogleNow.
Any ideas?
Hi, for this bug you can use thé application BT gnow.
My problem is an other, Google now audio is routed through the a2dp channel and not the hsp headset channel
my OK GOOGLE stop working from time to time. I rarely use it now.
I have the same issue, i cant get the activation of the "ok google" hotword via a wired headset nor a bluetooth headset on a Pixel... any advice?

I'm clueless :silly: but I have a Moto G5 Plus that had this issue I fixed today and another android phone a few years back that had the same issue.
I'm posting this around in a few forums since there doesn't seem to be much info on this anywhere. Maybe it will help.
To fix the broken setting that causes Google search / voice to text apps to not work with Bluetooth Microphones in my phones, I did the following:
Note: This will erase your google data on the phone maybe including your linked credit card authorization from your bank in android pay (tap payment only, not Wallet.) which I seem to recall having to re-set it up with my bank since they are very secure with that, so make sure you are prepared for that possiblity. It won't delete your linked accounts or authenticator two factor auth. Just the core googly stuff and settings related to the local settings on the phone.
Go into settings > apps > "Google". Disable it to reset it back to the original version, then enable it again, it should auto update back to current version later. Still in the Google app, click on storage, then manage space > clear all data.
Go back to settings > apps > show system apps. Find Google Services Framework. Click storage, click clear data.
Your Bluetooth microphone should now start working again. You may just get away with deleting the data on the framework app, I usually do both since I don't want to mess around any longer than I have to.
That didn't worked for me, although in my headphones manual says to press bluetooth sync button once for Google Now/Siri. I have PHILIPS SHB3060BK/00 headset.

Just turn off the "Record audio through Bluetooth headset if available". It will just work fine.
