Hi,
I've recently bought a Jabra Clipper bluetooth device and use it for listening to music because my headphone jack has stopped working.
My question is:
Is there a setting that can be set so that the default microphone for calls is the phones and not the clippers microphone? And if not is there an app that turns off bluetooth on incoming calls and turns it back on when the call ends.
Tnx!
You could use Automate IT from the Market, this will let you create a rule that disables bluetooth on incoming call, and then reenables it on end of call.
It's a great app and can do lots more.

How about Tasker? I dont use it myself but from what I've heard about this app, it can probably do this.

Tasker would probably do it but Automate IT is Free!!!
You can set the phone to use the bluetooth device just for media, not for phone. No app needed. Just go to bluetooth settings, hold on the bluetooth device and select options. It's that easy.

AutomateIt app clears the rules I set every couple of hours ... don't know why?
@Ik Desire
tnx man!! your solution works great.
The disappearing rules bug in AutomateIt was fixed in one of the recent updates.
Looking to see who else out there is using Groove IP and what settings you have found to work the best. I can't seem to pin down the right combo so I am going to try crowdsourcing.

Are you having issues w/ sound distortion over WiFi?
The default settings work fine on most devices, and the changes I've made are minor.
Using version 1.2.21:
-Allow 3G/4G calling
-Accept calls on answer
-turned off DTMF feedback under Audio/Echo settings
-turned on Keep Screen On and Sync Voice under Troubleshooting
What are your Speaker and Mic gain settings? I am only calling over WiFi

Speaker vol: 10
Mic gain (bluetooth as well): 0
Echo Cancellation: On, with Auto Detect
I haven't noticed any issues on my end by tweaking these settings, but can also say things worked fairly well on default.

What kind of issues are you running into? Defaults should be good for the Galaxy Nexus. One thing to watch out for is by default the Galaxy Nexus puts the wifi into a power saving state when the screen turns off. You can change that from the android settings->wifi settings->advanced wifi settings, or enable Keep Screen Alive in GrooVe IP.
I get noticeable lags using Groove IP on my Galaxy Nexus. The extent varies - it's sometimes less than half a second, but often close to two seconds. Happens both incoming and outgoing. I am using the default settings except for the volume. If this matters, the lag is there both on Wi-Fi and 3G.
Phone: Galaxy Nexus (GSM Unlocked)
Carrier: T-Mobile
Region: Seattle
Any advice would be appreciated.

Few things can cause lag. First would be latency on the data connection. Apps running on the device that use cpu or data...or battery manager or task killer apps could also cause problems with calls. We are also working on a new update that should improve the in-app delay for audio. On our Galaxy Nexus it seems to work pretty good so far. I think we'll have a beta for it ready sometime this weekend. We'll likely be posting it on our facebook page when it's ready. Oh, something on the device going into a power saving state would also cause delay. Keep Screen Alive can help with that.

Thanks for the update! I will await the new beta version. I'll keep an eye out on your FB page.
Besides the Keep Screen Alive option, are there other options that may help reduce the lag? I see things like Synchronize Voice and Mic Buffer. For instance, will it reduce delay if I change the Mic Buffer size from medium (default) to small?
Thanks again!

Synchronize Voice can help, I don't really use it on the Nexus. Changing the mic buffer to small should also help, that's one of the things we're changing. Small seems still too large. So we're going to be adjusting small to be smaller and make it the default.

I wonder if there is plan to support more than one google voice login in Grooveip soon? Something that we can switch from one to another quickly?

Might not be soon but it is something we're working on. Right now you can switch users pretty quickly by going into the menu and pressing change user. But that's not the same as supporting multiple accounts. Battery life is also an issue with multiple sign ins, still working on it.
Hey is this beta or new version addressing the latency available yet? I have an Epic Touch 4G & have tried everything (spoken to support repeatedly over email - thanks!) & still get 1-2 second delay. Difficult to have a normal conversation as we keep cutting each other off as we think we're done speaking.

The latest version on the market has all our improvements for latency. There will still be latency from your network or from the device. Stopping apps running in the background can improve the device latency.
Well I downloaded that version and most of that lag seems to be gone. Yippee!

I just purchased this after months of debate. Are there any settings to reduce the static on the other caller's end? I did some test calls with a friend's phone, except I was holding both devices in each hand. It doesn't matter who initiates the call, but they'll hear a static noise that doesn't happen if the call is made via mobile network. Could very well be Google Voice itself because people have mentioned it to me before before I purchased Groove IP, but I just want to be sure.
Also, sending and receiving bluetooth calls do work through my car stereo. But if I'm receiving a call, something is missing to tell the radio to pause/mute the music and start the ringer. The phone itself still rings and vibrates, but it's easy to miss a call if the music is loud enough. Is there an additional setting I'm missing? The function works properly if I'm using the regular phone app.

The static could be because both phones were in close proximity to each other. Have you tried it with normal calls?
For incoming calls were you using the native music app or another app like pandora? We broadcast that a call is being made or received, the native music app should detect that, but an app like pandora may not since the app isn't the same as the native phone system.

You mean to a landline? I haven't. I did try with another person a few hundred feet away with the same results. I also talked to someone else for a few seconds, but the only thing they asked was if I was whispering. After I had posted on here, I changed my settings to the ones recommended from the "other" forum: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/32464-voip-apps/page__st__10#entry902020. My voice was probably just low due to the low mic gain setting, but I'll leave things the way they are until I get more comments from people's calls.
As for the bluetooth issue, I'm not using my phone to play music. The music is through the radio, which utilizes bluetooth to make phone calls. Normal operation of incoming calls cuts the audio and rings through the car speakers until I pick up. With Groove IP calls enabled, only the phone is ringing and the music/car audio is still playing (which is usually louder than the phone's ringer). Hope that clears things up a little.
Happy Holidays!
Does ICS have built-in SMS to speech functionality when you have a bluetooth device attached?
I've never paired my motorcycle helmet Bluetooth to my phone because I think talking would be a bad distraction. I wouldn't mind hearing an incoming text read while I'm riding, though.
TIA
I don't think so. But I know there are a few apps that do this. Check the play store

handcent does this but you will have to push the button to make it speak it to you so it's not exactly hands free.
The app 'ReaditToMe' does exactly what you're describing. Whenever you get a text, it reads it immediately for you...
Just turn on car mode via s voice.
My At&t Samsung Galaxy S3 automatically picks up incoming calls and enables the speaker while it's sitting on my desk. I will have the phone on silent, and all of a sudden at 7:00 in morning, I hear a telemarketer saying "HELLO?, HELLO?"...I know this sounds strange, because I have only read about a handful of people with this issue, but it is a valid issue that needs to be resolved... Hopefully with your help.
I am not new to smartphones or Android, so I tried whatever you can imagine. I know that Android has a few auto-answer features available, so I made sure all of the settings that have to with automatically answering calls are disabled.
Anyone else experiencing similar issues, or willing to help with this issue, please post. Thanks guys!
(fyi..I have Hard Reset the device twice)

You can say "Answer" to pick up incoming calls.

Not only saying "answer" but most background noise will pick up an incoming call. It's pretty sensitive and there's lots of background noise that could actually "answer" the phone and cause it to pick up/connect. Nice feature, but it's too sensitive for my liking. Had to disable it even though I frequently used it for the camera app. (saying cheese, or shoot will take pictures)
Samsung s3
Yeah, that was my problem. I didn't say answer or anything like it, and it would just pick up the call. The shoot feature can still be enabled without enabling the answer option, I use it quite often. Thanks

Had the same problem! Hopefully, this works. It was periodic so I was concerned about going into store and not being able to replicate. Given this proposed solution, I'm amazed that other forums indicated ATT customer service is asking people to send back their phones for inspection?!!

What my settings are:
From the Phone Settings menu: Call Settings - Accessory Settings for Call:
Automatic Answering IS selected (“Only operates with a connected headset)
Problem is the phone is answering when NO headset (wired or bluetooth) is connected (bluetooth is off).
When I turn off the settings the phone does not answer automatically - However, when I'm driving I like using a wired headset and the autoanswer feature works great then. Just wne I unplug the headset the phone continues with auto answer.
Something that may be related - I have a PayPal credit card reader. It does not work with the phone. I called PayPal tech support to sleuth out the problem and they thought the read was faulty, sent me another, and I have the same result: phone does not recognize the device. My wifes phone is the same Samsung SIII and that headset jack does not work correctly with the reader.
However, the Square D reader does work.
I would fix permissions
I just ran into a guy who was having this same exact issue with his S3, and I went into these settings and toggled it ON, and that got it to stop. He had it off the whole time, but it was still doing it. I turned cmd on, and it stopped it. Very strange.

Hello
Is there any way to silence a call using the watch? I am not talking about rejecting the call, just to turn off the ringer.
It can be done by pressing the vol/power button on the phone but I cant find how to do it on watch.
quick google couldnt give me the answer, hope you guys know any way to acheive this
You can look at the app "Ringtone Remote" in Google Play. I haven't tried it, but it seems to be able to do what you want. It is also free!
When you cover the watch with a open palm, the watch will turn black and the phone will become silent and the call will continue to ring silently
Nice, didn't know that. It actually did work... the first time. When I test it the second time the call on the watch gets muted but the phone keeps on ringing, even though it did work the first time I tested.
thanks it works. But i dont get a 100% success rate. But it still works
Wear Mini Launcher, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.npi.wearminilauncher. It has a Widgets screen that controls multiple things on the phone, including allowing you to toggle speaker on, mute, or vibrate... from the watch.
I would also like to be able to touch one of the icons on the watch face that I am using to immediately mute the watches' speaker. That would solve your request and mine also. Thanks
