I'm sure I'm being very dim but I thought Froyo supported Bluetooth voice dialling. Just tried with my BlueAnt headset, press the button on the headset and I get the low beep that means it can't do anything. I can receive calls on the headset fine.
Should this work and what am I doing wrong?
TIA

I too had some issues with this, especially after installing skype. I finally got it to work by setting up the phone dialer as the default and pressing the bluetooth button twice insted aod the usual once.
It seems that some firmwares have this disabled. not sure why.

I use Dopod M700 and Handfree bluetooth Sony ericsson HBH-DS-970, I have problem about handfree.
After I compaired such devices, I could listen MP3 by DS-970 through WMP. It's worked and give qaulity sound! But, when I used DS970 as handfree/small talk, It's not worked. I could not answer/call by using DS-970. When incoming call while I listen MP3, WMP stopped but I could not recieved call through DS-970, I must recieved call by M700 only.
How should I do? Help me pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
PS : I used official rom and did not install any program.
Go in Comm Mgr BT settings and refresh your DS970 services and ck: handsfree and wireless stereo, save. See if the phone part works.
And if that doesn't work, maybe since the DS970 can only be paired with one phone, it needs to be re-set - then re-paired. I think the instructions are on page 10...yep, found my book: Turn off headset, then press and hold the on/off for 5 secs - you will hear a long beep. Now it is ready to be paired. Next: press & hold the on/off and call handling button simultaneously for 5 secs. The headset will turn off.
When I turn on BT, I find it best just to go into BT devices and refresh the services on the DS970. It seems to behave better...
Thank you very much. I made follow your advise. It's almost ok, but when incoming call, no ringtone in both M700 and DS-970 but it show number and contact. In M700 vibrated only and no ringtone in both M700 and DS-970.
May M700 did not work with DS-970???
Any suggestion. Thank you.
Hello
I've similar problem, i can hear songs etc... i even hear the ring when somebody calls on my DS-970, but when i try to accept the call using DS-970, it is not being accepted, and if press the answer button again, the bluetooth gets disconnected and the phone starts ringing.
Not sure what's causing it.

Hello
No problem i just found the solution to it:
Here's what I did:
* I deleted the HBH-DS970 from the list of BlueTooth devices
* Then I bonded them again (by setting the the little switch on the headset to the left and pressing the power button for about 5 seconds after it had powered on
* Now I move the switch over to the right
Now I can listen to music and when I have an incomming call, I get a short "beep", and I just press the mic button to answer. Then the music pauses, and resumes when I hang up.

It happened to me when I tried DS970 at the SE shop today. Saddly that I was going to buy it
I am using Atom Life
I'm running DCD 3.0.0 rom and I found that everytime I turn off my bluetooth headset and bluetooth on my phone that when I go to make a call I cant hear anything from my phone, I've tried turning on the speakerphone too but nothing, I don't know if the other end can hear me but the only way I can fix it is by soft-reseting...
is this a known problem? is there a simple fix? or am i doing something wrong here?

Hmmm... is the volume turned all the way up in the system settings along with the volume for calls?
I have this same problem. I think it is related to Voice command. Do you have VC?
This happens to me 1 or 2 calls after turning off my headset. When I turn the headset back on, the audio works again. I tried turning BT off but that didn't do it along. The fix (so far, I think) is to activate VC (push the right mapped button), and say "cancel". This may need to be done in conjunction with turning BT off. That may reset the audio and ensure it is mapped through the phone speaker, rather than the headset.
I am not 100% sure on this fix yet, as I just figured it out this morning. I think it is related to VC because VC obviously has other problems related to BT.

I've had this problem sporadically with Plantronics 855. I found that turning off BT before the headset seems to cause my problem. When the problem occurs, a soft reset is the only thing that gets audio back. In general, stock 2.17 worked better with the 855 than 3.35 (I'm now using DCD 3.0.1). The headset will occasionally redirect to the handset unexpectedly and will not resume playing audio after a call. None of this is a deal breaker, just minor annoyances.
bump for a fix please
This is what I have observed when the screen is off.
When I engage voice dial on my BT headset, I will hear the confirmation beep , the screen will turn on showing the lock screen and then it will either turn off the screen or just sit there doing nothing. S-Voice will not show up or response to my voice command.
I have tried this with a Jawbone Icon and my plantronic voyager pro both behaving the same way.
The work-around so far I found is to turn on the screen to at least showing the lock screen and it will work like it should.
Is this what you guys are experiencing?
My car has built-in bluetooth support for speakerphone and I've noticed when my phone is paired with the car, s-voice does not pick up anything. Even with the phone unlocked and on the s-voice screen.
Usually, when you tap the microphone button, and the button lights up blue (like an EQ) when it's recording your voice, but with bluetooth paired, it stays flat, like it's not picking up any sound. I manually disabled bluetooth, and s-voice went back to working as normal.
Sounds like there are more symptoms to this BT/S-Voice bug than what I have experienced so far.
I spent a whole day today with my SIII and I have to say that I miss my Samsung Focus (WP7).
With my Focus I can do everything via the BT headset and the speech recognition for names is so much better than the SIII (I have tried both Google and Vlingo speech recognition). In average I had to try 5 or more times before the correct name is recognized. I drive a full size SUV and was using a Jawbone Icon headset, noise should not have been an issue.
I hope these bug will be worked out ion future updates.
I have had teh s voice completely ignore my BT headset. I fixed it by unpairing and then repairing (pun optional) the headset. This feature is weak.
Hi everyone,
First off, I'd like to start by wishing to everyone happy Holidays!
I have been literally searching all over the Internet for any information regarding the issue I am about to describe in detail and since no solutiuon was found, there's nothing left for me to do but ask for help, and hopefully get the right answer. That's why I want to be as specific and informative as I can.
The problem I am having is this; I recently purchased a new Jabra Motion bluetooth headset and decided to start using the voice dialing function on my Galaxy S4, since it works very well (when it works) and is really a breeze, especially while driving.
In short, the problem is that the S4 completely loses audio (other party hears nothing as well) after initiating a call, via voice dial commands through any bluetooth headset (I'll get to that). When that happens, the phone has no in-call audio whatsoever (with headset on or off, with speakerphone or earpiece on), no matter how many times I start or receive a call and nothing brings audio back, except a reboot from the i9505's power button menu. All other audio works, like videos, unlock sounds, ringtone, music, even the little chirp right before the other party's phone starts ringing and the hangup chirp can also be heard. The worst part is, that it occurs completely at random, it can happen on the 1st time I voice dial or the 10th time, for example. The problem has not shown itself, when initiating a call normally or picking up with a headset connected, before audio gets lost.
Before purchasing the Jabra Motion I've been using an earliest model Jawbone Icon and had never even tried the voice dialing feature on any previous phones or the S4. After encountering this problem I tried to test whether or not it would happen when using that headset, the result was yes, so it is safe to say it will happen when using any bluetooth headset, with the same randomness.
This is what both headsets launch on the phone, when attempting to voice dial:
View attachment 2474439
The phone itself is a completely stock and un-rooted 16GB Galaxy S4 i9505, running the latest available Jelly Bean 4.3, build: XXUEMJ7.
The headsets are always connected to 2 devices simultaneously (in case that might shed some light)
What I've tried so far (no difference made, at all):
- Toggled bluetooth off and on
- Tried unpairing and re-pairing both headsets on both phones, or only on i9505
- Tried factory resetting both headsets
- Tried to toggle, while in call, between speakerphone, earpiece, headset, turning off headset and all possible combinations
- Removed Jabra companion app and services app, then reinstalled, then tried without the apps installed.
- Cleared cache from both Jabra apps.
- Cleared cache from system apps such as dialer, bluetooth and Google Search.
- Contacted support of both Samsung and Jabra (huge waste of time)
Sorry for the very long post, but I want to be clear and comprehensive as possible. Any help would be highly appreciated.
Please no factory reset suggestions, I am aware of that possibility, but do not want to go through all the trouble to set up tons of apps and stuff again.
Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help!
Anyone?
Please?
Hello. Sorry my English.
Hardware: Samsung Galaxy S5 Duos (KitKat 4.4.2 ANJ1 stock rooted), Plantronics Voyager Bluetooth Headset, Jabra Clear BT Headset. From november 2014 to may 2015 all was great, but suddenly I got a problem with the BT on my phone.
The problem is: in outcoming call: 1) I dial a number and begin a call 2) the call's sounds routed to a headset 3) When I hear "Allo" , the sound in headset suddenly goes to a phone's voice speakerphone, and BT-headset loses sound 4) sometimes sound and voice goes to phone while dialing a number or after some words from my friend that I called. The problem occurs completely at random, it can happen on the 1st time I dial or the 10th time, for example, or just every call. In incoming calls: 1) I receive a call with BT-Headset (push a button on it), firstly voice comes to BT-Headset, but it can disappears after some words from me or my friend.
When the sound disappears, I find that the BT-connection stays alive , and my S5 obeys the headset buttons commands (when I pressed the button on headset, the call disconnects. So, Galaxy S5 obeys the command from BT-Headset and BT connection stays alive while calling, but sound may disappears suddenly, and I must take my phone to the ear to complete a call. Both mic and voice sound goes from BT-headset to the phone's speakerphone. But I finde a feature: After sound disappears - when I double pressed the BT-button in the call window (off and on again bluetooth audio call channel), the sound brings back to the headset!!! So, I think, that the call app loses the sound from BT-Headset and suddenly routes it to the phone, but why?
I used a stock ANJ1 rooted for 6 month ago and had no problem, my apps setup didn't change for 6 month I owned a phone. Something happens, but what? How can I trace or parse the app that causes this problem? I think, one app from my setup trying to control the voice, so it disappears. Any suggestion?
What I tried: wipe phone and write the ANJ1 from Odin (BT works on the stock without apps), after this I bring back my backups from Titanium Backup (just user apps and data). I have Smart Booster and AFWall+ (android firewall - with my own rules), and have the EnhancedSMS and Caller ID. Freezes AFWall+ and SmartBooster - no changes, sound disappears. Any saggestions, please?
