What Phone app are you guys using, that works well with Bluetooth Hands Free in the car?
I absolutely loved RocketDial, but can't get it to work with bluetooth hands-free calling in my car. Not even the developer knows how to make it work (see link):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=35467331#post35467331
Thinking about trying a different app, but it seems there are a thousand on the Market. Too many to try out only to have to test the handsfree function each time (PITA without 2nd phone).
What are you guys using that you like?
I should probably just use the stock dialer app. But I guess I'm an app-fanatic.
EDIT: Oops, sorry just realized this is basically a duplicate of an earlier thread I'd forgotten I made.

[Q] Bluetooth keyboard

I have been reading some of the reviews on amazon about some of these mini keyboards, and I'm still adjusting to the onscreen keyboard as I came from the D2 then the TP2 before that, so I would like to know what ones are compatible with android? Does anyone have one? Most people in the reviews say that they can't get them to work with android, so I don't want to waste 20-30-40 bucks just to find out its not compatible with our devices. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Curious about this too, if don't remember seeing anything about bluetooth keyboards working without some hacking.

I guess you and I must be the only ones who care about this.
No...I very much care about this, too. I just tried to pair my Thunderbolt with my Apple wireless keyboard and it did pair. Now, however, it says "paired and not connected" but when I click on the keyboard name it does not do anything. When I press and hold the keyboard name, my only option is to unpair. Not sure how to proceed...
Reading a lot of the reviews on amazon it seems to be a running theme that not all of the BT keyboards are compatible with android. Now, whether that is true or not, I don't know. I was hoping to find someone who has one and can provide some insight. Supposedly, according to the reviews, there are two different protocols for BT and only one(spp, if that makes sense?) works with android. That's the best info I have gathered, but this is strictly based off of reviewers, so I don't actually know anything. So I thought I would bring my question/problem to the smartest community on earth.
I will play around again with my Apple keyboard tonight and see if I can figure this out for you. And for me!
I'm interested as well. Like you, I haven't been able to find any hard info either, and don't want to waste money...
hello, I've been interested in this for a while now…*
here's the BT keyboard i'm considering:
Spider E-BTKB-B001 Black Bluetooth Wireless Ultra Slim Keyboard - seen on newegg ~ $40
although today I tried this app:
market.android.com - Remote Web Desktop
its wifi keyboard feature gets your foot in the door with real keyboard text entry…*haven't tested this for my use case - notes in audible bookmarks - but i look forward to the future development of this Remote Web Desktop application
oops, i can't include links yet
So, if I understood your post correctly, you have already received this and it does work correctly? Can you post some pics to show how big it is compared to the phone? Thanks for the post.

+1 to this post. Very interested.
This one on amazon looks like it works... from the reviews anyway
ProMini Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard (Build-in TouchPad/Laser Pointer) - Black
(cant post links yet so you'll have to search)

I can confirm that my buddy's apple bt keyboard works with my TB, but my dell bt keyboard does not.
Can you provide the keyboard model that worked?
I have a no name mini bt keyboard that pairs but will not connect with my unrooted thunderbolt..
The one I have is an unbranded keyboard
Mini Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard for iPad/iPhone 4.0 OS/Android/Window Mobile/Symbian Smartphone
It will pair but not connect.

Intrigued, I would really like to know also. Is that the one for the Xoom?
I've got one of those no-name (actually a company called magic-pro) bluetooth keyboards, and I've tried every app/driver out there that I've been able to find to get the danged thing to work. So far the most useful thing on it is the laserpointer, it's a great cat toy. The bluetooth dongle does work pain-free with a Windows 7 machine, but that's not why I got the thing. Going to keep on trying new revisions, hopefully I'll hit something eventually that doesn't require rooting.
I use Wifi Keyboard occassionally which works great, cheaper then buying a BT.

Useful app... offline voicecommands

Hi,
I think there is a very useful app needed in all smartphone...and specially in the fantastic galaxy s2: the offline voicecommands.
People, like me, that have not the possibility to get always connected to the net, need the offline voicecommands like the mororola smartphones. We just need a porting of that app as the vivaldi 4season team did, but working for all the roms and in particular that app have to work...
Who is the dev that can do this for the "disconnected" community? He will help the people that need to call someone whilst is driving a car... No accidents trying to do a call whilst driving car, no money spent in a special contract to be always connected.
We need a hero!

Dont we have that already with the Built in Samsung Voice actions powered by Vlingo which also has a drive/car mode
Vlimgo requires Internet and to be honest is not greatest when dialing contacts especially if they are not typical English names.
Just do what I do as soon as I install rom, delete vlingo and put original android voicedialer.apk in system (note: not voice search) app from nexus s gingerbread or cyanogen rom. Works offline and much better for contacts recognition. Responds fine to bluetooth dial as well.

Remember put this in system/app folder with root explorer (do not install as regular apk) and remember to delete vlingo voice to go apk from there cause it will clash on bluetooth dial.
Istituto tris app multilanguage?
Is this only for dialing or sms too?
Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk
It's name is voice dialer! Ask me again if this is for dictating sms!
Or are you asking if you can start text message with this?
There's voice actions for that or vlingo or whatever but they all need to be connected to the net.
With this you can basically start any app installed on the phone with command open * (open MESSAGING or open OPERA MOBILE) or dial contacts on the PHONE or command redial.
You can not say 'send text to "contact name"'. If you want deeper than that then use online ones I mentioned.
Iono if it's multilanguage? I why don't you try it then tell us? What I do know is that I have plenty non English contacts and it dials them correctly even though it repeats them weird with English phonetics. It is able to learn as well so if it's confused between 2 contacts, manually selecting correct one, will not prompt again with same pronunciation. I have had few names that I had to gradually train like that going from English phonetics to native tongue pronunciation and now it's perfect.
I save data with titanium so don't have to train it again between flashing.

Mic input status; Groove IP w/Google Voice - VOIP Phone!

UPDATE:
It looks like Hashcode will look into the possibility of allowing audio input simultaneously with audio output at the kernel level for 3.0 Kernel for Kindle Fire
I'm hoping that this will stir up some interest in using our kindles to make phone calls over Wifi.
There was a thread in the General section that talked about using earbuds with a mic as audio input to the KF. I downloaded "Voice Recorder" from Google Play Store and confirmed that my set of earbuds works great with the KF to record audio.
The pinout of the earbud's 3.5mm phono plug from tip to sleeve is left+, right+, ground (- or common), and mic+. Most earbuds with a mic designed for smartphones (iphone, HTC, etc.) have this pinout.
I successfully made a phone call with my KF connected to wifi, using Groove IP with my Google Voice account (free and easy to set up on the PC, both downloadable from the Play Store). Now when I say successful, I mean the call went through and I could hear the person on the other end, but they could not hear me. No big surprise, I think we could be close to having Groove IP recognize the audio input on the KF the same way the Voice Recorder app did. This is why I am reviving this topic with its own thread in hopes that some smart folks here might know how to proceed in making progress on this front.
I am running MoDaCo Gr8 ROM and I have Google Contacts (synced), Voice, and Groove IP. Groove IP looks great!! just like a phone interface with a contact list that is my synced Google contacts. SO CLOSE!!!
Any positive feedback on what could be done to make the audio input on the KF accessible by more than just the Voice Recorder app?
For earlier discoveries about mic input: FlashFire1 and shravbits have posted some useful info to note.
If you feel like giving it a try for fun, test your mic input with the Voice Recorder app.
Then setup a Google Voice account, and download the Google Voice app from the Play Store, then install Groove IP and connect it to your Google Voice account.
earbuds/mic that may work with the KF:
Apple generic and OEM earbuds
Misc earbuds with mic
Mini Mic
It has been noted somewhere that half duplexing is possibly being switched in software at the app level. It looks like our kindle fires come with the Texas Instruments AIC3110 chip ( http://www.ti.com/product/tlv320aic3110#description ) and from what I can tell, this hardware does support full duplex (audio input and output stream simultaneously).
I'm experienced with this whole mic thing (considering I started this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23546913)
But I don't think this 'calling from my kindle' thing is going to go much further. Skype isn't working, Google Voice doesn't work, Grooveshark doesn't work! No VoIP is working! I have tried, but the hardware just isn't cooperating at all! Sure Voice Search and all work, but this is, well, harder. I will keep trying and experimenting with this till I get it at least close to working

I think it may be possible to enable duplex audio at the kernel level.... just need devs with experience there to look into it.... I'm hoping.
Maybe with a few modifications to Hashcode's 3.0 Kernel, this could be working. We shall see

I've tested the Grooveshark and works well; Skype and Groove IP can establish the VoIP calls, obviously the other party can't hear me as gruuvin said.
If this is possible to activate the microphone, definitely the fire will satisfy the basic users' needs, and it will make it more attractive for the lower budget.
A member, leroy641, contacted me by private message, because he could not post in this section. It is an interesting note from a Groove IP dev who has considered this.
leroy641 said:
i cant post in the developer forums but just wanted to let u know i contacted groove on 3/29 and this is thier answer
me:Have you guys thought of a kindle fire version? The default android sound recorder works with a headphone/ mic combo. I have tried every alternative mic option from the troubleshooting section. If you could somehow figure out how to use the same input as the sound recorder and add that to the mic options that would be great.
snrb labs:Hi,The issue is that other settings on the mic are required for VoIP use. Our understanding is the audio driver on the kindle fire doesn't implement those settings. So it wouldn't be possible to support the device unless that was changed.
seems like a driver mod might fix it.......

thread about our issue being discussed here. I hope I didn't ruffle any feathers, because I just noticed the [DEV-ONLY] part of the thread title
Hey, I'm a firmware developer working on a networking module that implements a pretty complicated utility systems protocol... maybe that will keep me out of hot water with the android devs? 8-/
I did a quick search on audio full-duplex support for android and found a TI-Android-ICS-PortingGuide wiki (http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/TI-Android-ICS-PortingGuide) that mentioned in the "Audio" section support for simultaneous playback and record (full-duplex mode) for an AM335xevm that uses AIC31 audio codec. I believe our kindles use the AIC3110 audio chip, so maybe this is good news.

Voice controlled TV Remote using Tasker/Utter!

Edit: the correct links are down a couple posts.
I posted this over in the AT&T forum and thought I'd give back a little cause its pretty cool.
I recently posted a question in Q&A about any TV remote apps that can be voice controlled. No luck. I stumbled upon this tasker plugin by Ozkaya that is awesome. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=45572797. It allows you to program your IR remote with Pronto hex codes(many found here http://www.remotecentral.com/ as posted in the Dev's thread).
I combo'd this with Utter! and like magic, I was able to program voice controllable macro's, functions, anything really as long as the hex codes were available. And there is alot of them. I have Verizon Fios and the motorola codes worked for my box even though they weren't the same model. To me, this is an awesome show off tool (and slightly practical if I am eating chicken wings and need to switch between football games!). I literally say "phone" to wake up utter and "channel back" or "ESPN". as a command.
I did nothing here but stumble upon a combo of apps that work great together. If you like the idea please check out the thread and thank the Dev's and support their work. I feel this is one of those gems that slipped back a few pages and got lost. Hope you like it too.
If someone really wants to get tweaky, here is another plugin for Tasker that will initiate the voice recognition in Utter! when the phone is on charge and the stop it when is taken off charge. Its towards the bottom of the thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=34339449.

Thanks bro. Its definetly more of a cool show off tool but I searched hard for an app that did it and ccouldn't find one. Tasker is a little tough but this is all premade commands so its a little easier. Still took me a few minutes to set up though. Regardless, I imagine only a few people can this with a phone which makes it cool to me. Hope you like it too.
No problem.
I had a moment of being a complete ass.
Go into a local place that has the TV just way too loud.
Have the phone programmed to send the universal TV off codes and just say "Phone, shut that **** off" and see what happens.
