Before this last week, I was able to connect my Galaxy Nexus (GSM model) to my XPLOD car deck, select BT Audio on the deck, press the button, and receive a voice prompt to make a call. It was very convenient for when I had to make a call while driving.
Some time during this last week, the feature stopped working. When I press the button on the deck to initiate a call, the screen flashes gray (like the background of the voice dialer prompt), then returns to the previous screen and I hear no audio prompt.
When I try to make a call using my Bluetooth headphones (LG HBS700), the phone does the same thing (flashes the Voice Dialer, returns to previous screen--like a force close), but I still hear the prompt and can respond and make a call. But when I try to make a second call, there's no response--no flash of gray, no prompt, nothing.
I installed the TeamSpeak open beta app recently, but thought I had made a call using my car audio deck after. It's worth noting that the TeamSpeak app includes permissions to pair with Bluetooth devices. Unfortunately, even after uninstalling the TeamSpeak app, I still experience the same issue.
I can't think of any other changes I've made that might affect voice dialing and all my searches (the last 45 minutes) don't turn up anything related to my issue.
Could someone here offer a fix or point me in the right direction?
Using the Voice Dialer prompt while driving is a wonderful convenience (and a major safety feature as well) and I really, really, really don't want to have to wipe and reload my phone to get it back.
Okay, so it turns out that a recent (April 3) Google Search update is at fault.
I uninstalled Google Search updates (Settings > Apps > Google Search > Uninstall Updates) and it fixed the issue (though it reverted it to the buggy but less buggy version of Google Search that came installed with my phone).
I had the same issue but nobody chimed in on my thread. At least I know I'm not the only one with Google search update issue with Bluetooth. Thanks for posting your issue. I ended up uninstalling update as you did. I actually ended up going back to stock ROM before I figured out it was search and not the ROM.

I've got similar issues. Pressing the button on my earpiece results in the Voice dialer prompt but only through the phone's earpiece and not through the Bluetooth earpiece. Voice commands can only be spoken to through the phone's mic also and not the Bluetooth mic. If you have your phone in your pocket and you shout loud enough, the phone's mic will pick it up and the call will subsequently work through Bluetooth when it connects.
Things were fine before but something screwed it up.
I just tried uninstalling the Google Search/Now update like the OP and it works again. So definitely Google Search/Now is the culprit.
I love Android, but very often I also hate it. Recently I was interested in getting this Bluetooth receiver for my car. The ideal scenario would be to be able to make calls, play songs, and navigate to an address by only pressing the button on this device on my dash and speaking, not touching the phone at all. Sounds great, right? And isn't this what Google Now and its voice actions are all about?
Well, seeing what a sorry state Bluetooth is in on my GNex, I think a device like this would be just about worthless. I have experienced no less than FIVE separate issues in attempting to get this scenario to work with the regular Bluetooth headset I currently own.
1) Bluetooth device disconnects every time I turn screen off. So when I turn screen back on, I have to re-pair the device.
2) The basic functionality of using Google voice actions over Bluetooth at all only works once. After that, it beeps, and then reverts to the handset mic and speaker. If you force stop Google Search, it will work again, but only once.
3) Pressing the button on the Bluetooth device activates old-school voice dialing instead of Google Now voice search. What's the point of this now that Google Now exists? I believe I have fixed this with the Bluetooth Launch app, but we'll have to see if it keeps working.
4) Music quality sucks, as we all know.
5) Google Now voice actions themselves are spotty. Sometimes advertised voice actions just result in regular searches instead. Sometimes it keeps listening for more input even though I've stopped talking, a force stop is required to fix this.
About the only thing that does work over Bluetooth is just regular calls that you initiate via the phone.
Which of the above issues do you experience, and can you share any workarounds? At this point, I honestly don't know what justification Google could give me to use this junk over an iPhone. I seriously believe they do not test anything, and do not care at all about their customers' experiences.
I have my Gnexus running 4.1.2 connected directly to my car's Bluetooth. I use it mostly for music and GPS, then calls sometimes, but rarely Google Now.
1) Doesn't happen to me ever. My phone stays connected until I turn the engine off and pull the key out of the ignition. I heard Bluetooth connection issues started with 4.2, hence why I haven't updated.
2) Not sure about this one. Google Now has always been spotty in my car (takes over 30 seconds to start up) and I'm not sure if it's because of Bluetooth or T-Mobile.
3) I think that's normal. Pushing the call button on my car's steering wheel activates my car's voice recognition system, not the phone's.
4) I use BT most often for music via Pandora and it sounds sounds fine to me. Occasionally there is a subtle skip, which I attribute to the wireless nature of Bluetooth. I would say the quality is 90% compared to wired.
5) Agreed. That seems unrelated to Bluetooth though.
I don't think there is a Bluetooth command for starting Google Now. Don't forget Bluetooth is a generic technology that is supposed to work with all phones, not just Android ones. I used to connect a Sony Ericsson phone for calls.
Except for accepting incoming calls and changing tracks/volume, I still have to initiate most actions by touching my phone. It sucks. Let me know if you find a good solution.

Yeah, it seems at least some of these issues (the disconnecting, music quality) started in 4.2. #3 might be "normal", but is definitely not how it should be. You mention Bluetooth is a generic technology - this is true, but there doesn't need to be a special command for Google Now, the phone can just choose to respond however it wants to the standard "call" button/command. For example, with an iPhone, pressing the button on the Bluetooth device will activate Siri. Then you can speak any command or query you wish. There's no reason Android couldn't activate Google Now voice search in the same way, instead of the voice dialer.
I've been doing things same as you, doing everything via the phone except for answering calls or redialing the last number. I finally realized how useful voice commands could be when able to be summoned via Bluetooth. A couple simple updates to the Google Search app, and an improved Bluetooth situation in 4.3 could easily clear all this up. But after the many mistakes they've made, I'm not exactly holding out hope.
The newest Google search has an option to listen over Bluetooth in settings not sure what it does.

Ah yeah, that's different then. None of the buttons on my car will activate any sort of voice recognition on my phone, because of the voice system in the car itself. Which sucks, because although it may have been advanced in 2009, smartphone voice tech has surpassed it by leaps and bounds, whereas my car software will never get updated.
So I think there's a better chance for an update to make this work for your setup than mine.

Thanks for the tip!
I also added a Google now voice command short cut to my lock screen and launcher, so when I'm in the car I can quickly (hopefully) say a command.
Kind of sucks still that the call button doesn't do this, even my old school slider Nokia launched voice commands over Bluetooth.
LOL
I use mine and will do voice commands by pressing button. It will not search though just make calls. On CM based ROM'si have to freeze the voice dialer the ROM comes with or the cm dialer is default. I don't have the listen over Bluetooth checked. Maybe that checked would give me search feature using button.

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.
I have a Plantronics BT headset that I've been using for years.
It has a "main button" that, when long-pressed, starts a voice dialing dialog with the phone, even when the phone is locked.
Or it did, from the original Captivate running Froyo all the way to my Kit-Kat GS3.
This no longer works on the G4. I get the beep indicating that the long press was registered by the headset, but nothing happens on the phone.
I know I can use "OK Google" to call Google's Voice Search and then tell it to dial, but that only works when the phone is unlocked and the screen is on, which defeats the whole point of hands-free operation.
LG's Voice Mate simply sucks, at least through my Plantronics. It doesn't capture voice input, it interrupts it half a second after it starts listening... It is unusable.
Does anyone have an idea how to enable the good old voice dialing through a BT headset? OK, it was ugly and idiotic with its stupid "Select 1 for mobile..." prompts, but it worked.
It doesn't have to be that. As long as I can voice-initiate a call without fiddling with the phone, I'll be happy.
The G4 turned out to be a great phone, but this particular issue is irritating to me.
I have the same problem with my company-issued Rugby Pro running Jelly Bean. Samsung's S Voice is hit-and mainly miss. My old Rugby II flip was always ready to dial or answer if Bluetooth was on. I use it on a motorcycle, so no button pressing on the phone is possible. I have been trying utter! (still in Beta) the last few days, and it is the most promising that I've found, although it has way too many other things it tries to do. Otherwise, I'll have to try and swap this phone with someone for a i(don't even want to start using these)phone, or go back to the flip and just carry the Pro for use via wifi to get company email.
Voicemate is garbage.
Go into apps under settings and disable as many Voicemate related items as possible.
This will cripple Voicemate and Google voice search will launch on Bluetooth press. It works beautifully.
All the commands I've tried work. One of my favorites is "play <song name>" if you have Google music all access.

Has anyone tested the microphone on their bluetooth sets yet with the Pixel 2 XL?
I'm scared I might have a defective phone. My bluetooth headset connects to my phone just fine, and even plays audio just fine, however, the microphone is not picking anything up. This means I can't use hands free calling, or hands free Google assistant.
I know it's not my bluetooth device because it works fine when connected to my older phone (Nexus 6P)
Has anyone else had trouble with doing microphone over bluetooth? I'm not sure if I need a replacement or just a software patch.
For reference, I use the LG HBS-1100 bluetooth headset.
http://www.lg.com/us/bluetooth-headsets-headphones/lg-HBS-1100-Silver-tone-platinum
Later today, I will try a different bluetooth device.
EDIT: I tried with my older pair, the LG HBS-750, same issue.
I've got a soundbuds tag headset, the connection speed is faster and my phone calls seem ok. I've only made like 2 calls so far though.
@Traceguy I've had several lg headsets and they all sucked. No could hear me or I was breaking up all over the place. Switched to the jaybird x3 and it's been perfect ever since.
Disclaimer: I'm on a Nexus 6. Waiting patiently for the 2XL to arrive next week...
I've talked with Google support, they helped troubleshoot, but nothing could be found out of the ordinary, and it's now being elevated to the next level support team. They have my phone number and will call me back when they find anything.
My Bluetooth version is up-to-date, but there is a update pending for my Pixel 2 XL, which hasn't made it to my phone yet. That may or may not help. IDK
I will get a friend later today to connect his bluetooth to my Phone and test the mic. Maybe it's a total LG issue.
I'm gonna say it's an LG issue. I went through 4 pair of the infinium headsets. All had issues with ppl hearing me. Even when paired to different phones.

I don't know much about how Bluetooth works, do Bluetooth devices use drivers similar to USB devices? Maybe the Pixel 2 XL is missing the necessary drivers for the LG HBS sets. That is something that can be fixed with a software update.
It's not an LG issue. It's happening with my car's head unit and others are reporting it in the Pixel User Community. This is one of a few strings that include it. https://productforums.google.com/fo...pPfDGvkNw;context-place=forum/phone-by-google

I'll just wait patiently to see what happens. I'm hopeful it's not a hardware defect with the bluetooth chip in my phone. I never use bluetooth car's head unit, for whatever reason it drops every few seconds or minutes. I'm driving a 2013 Charger, so I'd expect better results. I use aux, and thanks to the USB-C Dongle, I am not stuck without a way to play my music in the car, though without the microphone input from my headset, I can no longer tell Google which song to play.
I just came here to check.
I can place calls and be hear over bluetooth both on the car and my Sol Republic headphones.
Assistant can not hear over either. Assistant does work over a wired headset.
Support had me boot into safe mode, spoiler: Assistant won't even launch in safe mode, and factory reset which did not fix the issue.
They have no resolution at this time, but are looking into it and wanted me badly to leave feedback on the problem. I'd suggest anyone with the problem leave feedback as well.
At least I'm not the only one. They said I'm the first to call. ut then again they also said it coud be a hardware issue which I just can't see.
Mine, too. I have a Pioneer head unit. Playing is fine, Assistant is fine when not connected to Bluetooth, but Assistant just will not work over Bluetooth. I use this all the time so it's already driving me crazy and it's only been one day. (Same head unit worked fine with previous phones... Pixel 1, Nexus 6p, and OnePlus One.)
I'll add myself here as a +1... Same symptoms. Seems like microphone over BT doesn't work.
I have a Plantronics v5200 and it works for calls. But not for assistant. Sucks......it will activate assistant on a long press. But registers no sound. Works perfect on my original xl. So it's not the headset.
Also confirmed that it WILL work just fine if I launch it with "OK Google" instead of a squeeze or button. So it can work... Starting to seem like a bug in Assistant, which makes me hopeful for a decent fix.
@Anaelith Yes, but did you enable bluetooth Mic input from settings? If not, saying "Okay Google" will use the internal microphone in the phone instead of using bluetooth.
Go to Google Now settings > Voice > Enable "Bluetooth headset". This option "Records audio through Bluetooth headset if available"
That aside. I have tried bluetooth mic in a phone call and it works. I also tried Bluetooth audio with my Car's head unit and have not received a single drop. So the drop problem was related to my Nexus 6p.
Seeing as the mic works for phone calls, the problem seems to truly be software related.
Using a Jabra Eclipse, all settings correctly enabled. Not only does the Google Assistant not work, but neither does voice texting.
Worked fine on my original XL, so I know the earpiece is good.
Guess they better look into this...
Works fine on calls, won't work on assistant.
Man, I'm just gonna get my phones six months after release. It sucks to have to debug all this stuff for Google.
[UPDATE] I wrote here and I have a smaller pixel 2, but I have this issue too.
I'm another one. None of my Bluetooth microphones work on the pixel 2 XL, but do on my 6P
Hi everybody I think I may have found a possible fix/workaround
Settings\search\voice\Ok Google detection
Turn on ok Google anytime turn on trusted voice
(May have to do voice training)
Now when I press the call button and say "OK Google" then the command I hear it in my headset and it works. If I don't say ok google it doesn't work. It may be that it's actually my phone picking it up and not the Bluetooth mic but I hear the audio in my headset and can use it to search Google and play music. And it also picks up my audio in calls

I am facing the same issue. When connected to my BT headset or car BT, it's like my mic mutes after the hot word. Also, some phone calls can't hear me at all. Have to hang up and call back, then no issues. I've also contacted support and sent in feedback with system info to create a ticket.
I was having different issues as well, so I wiped my device and manually put all of my stuff back on (vs doing a restore), just to see if this fixes anything. Haven't retried BT yet, but will this evening. Other issues appear to be gone and the phone feels a lot smoother since doing this though. I think my restore from my OG Pixel didn't go so well.
