I noticed what could be a bug regarding bluetooth and voice dialing. When the screen is locked and I use voice dial it would always route the call to the speaker phone instead of the Bluetooth. After doing some digging I noticed this happens when I have media unchecked. When I have media check it wouldn't route my calls to the speaker phone. This is very annoying and I don't know what to do to fix it. I don't always want to have media checked because I don't like having notifications playing in my ear all the time.

why do you want it to go threw speaker phone if your using your bluetooth.
wouldn't you want the calls to go threw the bluetooth?

Just got the Note II and am trying to get the phone to ring through a bluetooth media speaker. When I am selecting different ring tones they will play through the bluetooth speaker as well as through the phone, but when the phone actually rings it will only ring on the phone itself. I have searched through various forums and can't find anyone asking the same question. I've also tried looking for an app that will route the audio to the speaker, but no solution yet. Has anyone any ideas please?
Search for Soundabout in the app store. I use it and can route my Bluetooth sound, media and phone, to wherever I want it
sent from somewhere
Thanks for that, I'm trying it but at the moment I can get everything to play through the bt speak, apart from when the phone rings.
Make sure, in the Bluetooth settings for your speakers, that media and phone are connected. I have the phone ringing through my Bluetooth audio
sent from somewhere
My bluetooth speaker settings only have the option to use it for media audio, and not for phone audio. With my bt headset I have the option for both phone and media audio. I'm assuming that the phone ring is coming through as phone audio. The annoying thing is that every other sound will come through on the speaker, key presses etc, and the ring tones when I am setting the volumes, but not when the phone actually rings or when messages come in.
With SoundAbout there is no option for the phone call audio to be sent to an A2DP bt device, so I think I'm stuck there as well.
hey guys,,
I did try to search but could not find any workaround\response.
When Bluetooth is turned ON, the phone does not ring,,
As it is set to Ring and Vibrate, it only vibrates...
The ringtone is played from the headset.
I know can turn off the media from Bluetooth settings(n then the phone rings) but that kind of defeats the purpose.
I don't have the headset on my ear all the time, so i miss calls, even alarms and reminders..
Not sure if this is known issue\bug, or I have messed up something in the settings..
I am using latest AOKP

I have exactly same problem. Lots of missed calls. Now I have to turn off the bluetooth headset during idle time and turn it on when making a call.
It has become to this situation ever since I installed the 4.2.2 rom. Tried several roms, all same problem.
I'm currently using an LG G3 Vs985 on Sky Dragon 5.0
I'm also using T-mobile on the LG G3
I use my phone for work a lot and the most annoying thing is happening. While I am using my bluetooth headset and talking on a call, if somebody tries to call me and my screen is telling to either accept or deny the incoming call, my bluetooth speaker drops to handset volume. I have to deny the incoming call, then quickly tap to turn off bluetooth and bluetooth again to get the call back to my bluetooth.
While already on a a call if somebody is talking to me while an incoming call comes in, I miss an entire sentance or two before i can do all of the above to get the audio back to bluetooth.
Is this a wrong setting I have on the phone or simply a bug with either Lollipop or Skydraggon?
"Edit" I got so annoyed I went to my wired headphones and I noticed the issue is not happening on my headphones. I didn't expect to happen but i wanted to note that the audio does not drop to handset speaker while using wired headset.
I appreciate the help.
I wanted to update the post that either it was a phone reboot or possibly of me flashing the Skydragon 4.2 kernal to the phone that fixed the issue. So far as of right now the audio is not dropping when talking or listening on an active call with another incoming call requesting to be accepted or denied.
Edit: The issue has returned. This is goofy !! lol
We finally have our watches updated with the long waited 1.4 internal speaker enable firmware.
I was so excited to side-load the update to my watch and seeing the new features activated, but with more usage to the watch/phone (note5) I started getting frustrated.
Phone calls cannot be received (heard or voice out) from phone if bluetooth (Play phone audio on watch) is selected. (unlike my previous iWatch)
2nd flaw is the strange behaviour using Facebook messenger calling when audio is diverted to watch, but this time the calls fail.
I thought i would see if its only me facing this, is it the combination of my phone/ watch misfit? or its the update?
I have already factory reset my watch, to no avail.
Please share your experiences guys.
For me this works super cool, no problem. Speaker is very loud and clear. I use it 50% volume at home, whitch is enough.

When you accept phone call on a phone voice is automatically directed through phone's earpiece. When you accept it on the watch, voice goes through the watch.
You can also switch voice direction during call using button having BT icon within in-call screen. This is how it works for me on Nexus 5x and I find it quite consistent.

Unfortunately answering the call from the screen doesn't activate the ear speaker in my case, but I can activate the loud speaker!

Answering the call from the watch screen will answer on the watch. To me that is as expected. If you want to answer it on the phone use the phone to answer instead of watch.

I guess it's dependent on a device type, Android version it is running and most importantly a dialer app that it is running.
I can imagine devices having custom dialer supplied by a vendor that significantly differs from the standard Android one could yield different results.
Anybody else encountered FB messenger crash?
I'm facing very serious problems while trying to use HWatch to make/answer calls.
1. Without activating "Play phone audio on watch" everything works as before (no way to answer the call without pulling the phone). Somehow expected behaviour.
2. When I activate "Play phone audio on watch", I can answer the call on watch and apparently it thinks the call is going normally. Byt nothing can be heard on either side of the call. On phone the in-call UI is also displayed and no sounds played or recorded.
3. What's even worse, when I conventionally answer the call on my phone, it's somehow answered also on watch, with result being similar to 2 - no voice whatsover on either device - for about 10 seconds. After that the call is hung up on watch and starts to be hearable on phone. This is very annoying.
I admit, I have an old Samsung Galaxy SII running SlimKat 4.4.4 (which should include standard AOSP dialer). Maybe it has an old version of Blutooth or something screwed elsewhere. But for me the new 1.4 functions are now plain unusable.
Edit: Point 3 somehow fixed (or demonstrates randomly). But still: no audio stream between phone and watch.

Well I am somehow facing same issues with my GN 5 with the latest MM, in addition to crashing of FB messenger... Line and other voice calling apps are running fine.
Another big problem with voice call in 1.4 release. In I enable voice call on watch, I can't make voice call with Viber, because sound always goes through watch. Only i can't change to phone loud speaker, but not for ear-speaker. I don't know does other app's like skype has same problem, but I think can.

I'm not sure if it's the same thing but what I find to be frustrating is with the gear 2 I could go back and forth. But with this it's one or the other. If I initiate the call with the watch it disconnects the bluetooth call audio on my phone and then I have to manually reconnect them. but if I do this I can't have the watch answer an incoming call (when I answer using the watch it is picked up on the phone only)'
I guess what I'm saying is that with the gear 2 I can have bluetooth call audio connected to both the watch and the phone at the same time (maybe because watch and phone were both samsung). With this bluetooth audio can connect to only one device at a time..
