Is there a accessory/device that I can use to connect to my android phone and use that device/accessory to compose message and do/accept calls on it when someone will call on my android device.
What I mean is for example I will compose a text message on "that device/accessory" which is connected to my android phone and when i send the message i just composed on " that device/accessory" it would then send the message to my android phone and then my android phone would automatically send the message on the network thus i only use one sim and when someone call to my android phone "that device/accessory" would act like a wireless Bluetooth headset?
You can use something like AndroidLost to send and read SMSs remotely from any browser enabled device, but you wouldn't be able to make or answer calls (though you can force the phone to hang up). You should be able to activate calling over bluetooth with any laptop. What exactly did you have in mind for an accessory?
What i imagine is am accessory maybe that look like an old nokia model (those like 3310 and such) but connected top my android phone and whenever i receive a text on my android phone i can read it using that accessory and can reply to that text using that accessory also. And also i can answer calls using it.
Maybe the idea is very closely similar to a sony smart watch but with the ability to send sms and accept calls.
I think you're looking for a bluetooth headset. With the voice recognition google apps in ICS and above, you can easily use a BT headset to compose messages and control your phone.
how do i compose message on a bluetooth headset? is there ab bluetooth headset with screen??
I read this a while ago and I still don't understand.
You're just asking for another phone (makes calls, has a screen big enough you can type messages on it) - that's not an "accessory" - so of course no one makes one. If this isn't just another phone tied to your phone... what do you want ?
A smart watch is what you want, but it doesn't have a big enough screen to type. Make the screen bigger and you literally have a regular phone.
You'd need to connect them over bluetooth, wifi, or cellular network - the last negating having only one SIM and the first meaning they'd need to be in decently close proximity - over wifi would only work if this "accessory" had wifi access and could do what you want.
If you really want a second phone that doesn't use network access - just get one. You can still use it over wifi and you can use Google Voice to retain the same number between devices. You can use various apps to get calls on it as well as sending SMS/IM.
It''s a phone tied to another phone. Imagine it as a smartwatch but i can compose message and does not look like a watch but a phone (looks like those first gen nokia phones). That my sim is on my android phone and whenever i receive message on my android phone it will be send over using bluetooth or wifi network to that phone and when i compose message to that phone it would be send on my android phone and be send to the network.
It's like a reprogrammed nokia phone to act like a smartwatch.

My Hermes has never fully integrated with my Ford Focus BT Handsfree kit. Although I could always make and receive calls, it rarely read the Contacts on my Hermes and, when I scrolled to the Contacts on the car hifi, it would say Phonebook Not Available. On those occasions when it would read the Contacts, when I had an incoming call, it would indicate the number of the caller, but not the name. Once the call was answered, it would sometimes deign to show me the name.
The break through came when I flashed the PDACornerProV17 ROM. This must have a new BT utility. As soon as I had paired my Hermes, I got a pop up on the phone saying "Ford Audio wants access to your contacts. Do you accept this? Y/N". I have never had this before and, as soon as I tapped Yes, my contacts appeared on the car hifi. Now, when i receive an incoming call, I can see the name before I answer it, not after! Additionally, the car kit keeps a log of incoming and outgoing calls, another first.
So, if any of you have a Ford BT kit, and haven't got it to work properly, flash the PDA Corner ROM.
thanks for your report and recomendation also.
glad to know this info
thanks and regards...
By ford bluetooth kit, do you mean the Sync found in the focus/Fusion?
This works on my ROM with Pioneer BT stereos too...

I mean the built-in bluetooth kit, found in all recent UK Ford cars. It is a factory-fitted addition to the normal car audio, giving hands free phone functions and limited voice commands.
is that the BT Phonebook Access Profile (not SIM AP)?

Sorry, don't know the answer to that. But, if this is a new tool introduced into ROMs, this might explain why I got the message 'Ford Audio is trying to access your phonebook', and why the Hermes contact list is much more accessible through the car hifi.
from what i remember theres these other bluetooth modes, one for sms one for phone book and one other one referred to as profiles
the new roms must have this enabled but not full functionality of new email and sms from the phone i remember a friend saying something about 6.1 has this enabled where as before people needed an app to do it with the first 6 releases?? can someone confirm if this is correct ?
So I just bought a new car, and while hooking my dinc up via Bluetooth I noticed that I cant call out from my phone because I have it set to ask every time I make a call if I want to use Google voice...it gets stuck on that screen and fails to make the call.
Is there a way to prevent the Google voice app from asking when calling out via Bluetooth?
Anyone? I could have sworn it worked Thursday when I picked the car up, that's the weird thing...
I'm not sure exactly where it is but there is an option in the settings somewhere that dictates how Google voice handles calls. It can be set to use Google voice, not use it, or ask.

I think that's for international calls. But, you phone might be dialing an international prefix before the number. That normally wouldn't matter, but Gvoice will take notice of it. I set mine to never ask because I never call internationally.
Ah yeah, I think loonatik is right. So if you do have 1+ before the number, GV will probably pick that up and that might be what's giving you troubles. Maybe?
No, I have it set to always ask...but I was hoping there was some way to override it if the call is made via Bluetooth. I could have sworn I had it working Thursday, but now it just fails because it gets stuck on the Google voice screen ...
Anyone know of any way to override the setting if making a call thru Bluetooth?
Or, an alternative would be for me to turn it off (or on) for all calls and have an easy way to bypass it...
Possible solutions...
Free, but a pain in the butt:
Drop the Google Voice Settings widget on one of your home screens. The third button (the one that looks like a handset inside of a settings button) toggles call modes for GV:
-Use for all calls
-Do not use
-Use for international
-Ask every time
Free, but I have never tried the app so I can't personally comment:

Looks like you could set this up to perhaps side-step the GV behavior of manually answering every time
I was about to write out how to do it with Tasker and the Locale Google Voice Settings plug-in. But I just realized that it doesn't have the all/none/ask choice as a plug-in setting: only the online stuff like forwarding phones, etc. Bummer - but maybe you could contact the dev about future integration
Google Voice always ask and bluetooth
Did you ever find a good work-around or solution for this?
I just got an S4 today, and I was hoping that the Google Voice app on the Android would be similar to the iPhone one. It's not.
I use google voice to call/text my friends (I ported my original # over to Google) and the main number for work. But when I tried making a call over bluetooth in the car, got the same problem as you, it got stuck on the "Always Ask" prompt. The problem with making it never ask, is there is no dialer to just go to like there is on an iPhone when you do want to make a call using Google Voice. So you have to keep switching the option on that widget before every call. So annoying.
Suggestions?
I know I wasn't the only person a little dismayed about the lack of simultaneous phone /data when the Note 4 came out. The solution given was to remain calm and just set up your hangouts to dial your cell number.
No big deal, except that when I receive an incoming call via hangouts , my cell phone rings like a second later, knocking me off the internet. While I can still salvage the call, this defeats the entire purpose since I no longer have data.
Was this because I didn't port my number over but somehow set both up? Seems odd that they would allow that and I didn't want to port over because I didn't know if I could undo that. Can anyone confirm that I was supposed to port the number over?
Just purchased a new Android 10 head unit for my jeep. I'm pretty happy with it except that there is no way to do hands-free dialing. (I can set it to auto-answer incoming calls)
I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro - and as some of you know, Google Smart Lock / Trusted Agents is disabled on Xiaomi devices, and only Xiaomi brand Bluetooth devices can keep the phone from locking.
So even if I bypass the head unit and say to my phone "OK Google, Call Bob Smith", I still have to reach over and unlock my phone for the call to actually go through, or hope face recognition works at that moment.
The new head unit connects to my phone, has my contact list, and I can make calls from my phone with it via Bluetooth even when the phone is locked. But I have to scroll through my contacts or search for the name by typing it in on the head unit.
So I'm looking for a way to initiate a hands-free call.... obviously it's the law right now so it's something that should be do-able.
Thanks for any help!

I am interested to know if you ever got this sorted. I have the same question. Clicking the microphone icon brings up a Google voice command screen of some sort which recognises a command to "Call <Name>" but responds with "I can't make calls yet.".
I'm not sure what is listening to the voice command if that is OK Google, Google Assistant or something else.
Feel like I might need to install something else to replace the BT dialler or at least find some configuration setting I haven't found yet...
I have my eSIM configured in my Pixel Watch LTE, and all is working fine so far. However, from time to time I'd look to have my little son wear the watch, when he is out and about alone by himself, so he can call me in case he gets lost, or I can find his location. Generally, this works, but the problem is that the watch also rings when I receive calls: The eSIM is a MultiSIM of my Vodafone contract, so it has the same number as mine in my main phone. Of course I don't want my son to receive my phone calls on the watch.
Is there any way of disabling incoming phone calls, or the the notifications / vibrations of them? Or, ideally, disabling the signaling of any incoming call except if it comes from a certain number (like my own landline)?

I haven't received the watch yet, but it should have Do Not Disturb settings which you should be able to configure as you wish. For instance, your son could receive calls from Starred contacts only, while all the others are blocked.
Edit: See here
" Do Not Disturb: Turn off all notifications and silence incoming calls. Press and hold to customize exceptions for priority and repeat callers, alarms, and media sounds. "
That's the perfect solution, thank you very much!
