[Q] Google Navigation Voice really quiet (UK) - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have been having problems with the navigation app, The voice guidance is really quiet and hard to hear while driving. Anyone else experiencing this issue? And any ideas how to fix it?
Thanks in advance

It has been fine for me, but saying that I am connected to a Jabra Freeway and is playing through the speakers via FM radio. That could be a way forward for you. Get something that will make it go through your car speakers?

if i connect to the laptop, i also get an other bluetooth icon, that one does support a2dp and the sound is remarkably better

Spotify on Nexus 4 with Headset Controls

Hi !
I'm using Spotify a lot. But on my Nexus 4, there seems to be no possibility to use headphones for starting/pausing/skipping tracks etc. on the device. I already tried Headset Droid, but the only thing it does is opening the Google Now Voice Feature. Can anyone help me with a solution? This is really driving me crazy

Why would that even be an issue nowdays with any smartphone ? Maybe you need to ask if anybody has any issues pairing with their car, not the other way around.

understood - but given that there are so many smartphones and so many cars with BT, it just seems that there are more problems than success stories. I've mostly heard/read of only problems, not when it actually works as expected the first time. also, folks usually post to indicate that there is a problem and wondering how to fix it.
I have a JVC KD-X50BT in my car and had no issues. Turned on bt on the phone and it paired automatically. Calls, audio, song and artist info, and Pandora info.

No voice on GPS while on Bluetooth

I have a strange situation here. My GPS will only read aloud when I am NOT connected to Bluetooth in my car. If I am connected to bluetooth while on the phone but not actually using the Bluetooth, using the handset to talk on the phone, the GPS voice comes through the earpiece on the phone. The GPS voice works fine when I'm not connected to Bluetooth in my car. Does anybody else have this problem? Any solutions? Thanks in advance!

Ditto!
I too had that problem. I recently was traveling for work and needed GPS in the rental car. I almost missed my exit because the nav voice wasn't working over the car's bluetooth connection. Calls worked fine but not the nav voice....

ok good to know that I am not loosing my mind
I have no idea what is causing it tho.
Under Bluetooth settings can you see if you are connected as phone and media or just phone? Every once in a while mine just connects as phone for some strange reason!

Ok, today I tried my phone with two different Bluetooth devices to make sure I got music and GPS out at the same time and I did so i know the S5 is capable of it. So check to make sure your devices are actually are connected as phone and media when paired next time just to make sure.I know my Motorola roadster2 sometimes only connects as phone even though it is set up as both, I usually have to reboot both the phone and and my roadster to get it to connect as both fir what ever reason. I hope that helps, if not I am at a loss!
I tested this the other day, and it works fine for me. I am using a Kenwood DNX8120 head unit, and it is connected with the S5 with both the headset and media bluetooth profiles. Note that the head unit needs to be on the bluetooth input for me to hear it since it is using the media profile for the GPS voice. If it is on another input (i.e. tuner, CD), you won't hear the phone's GPS.
Still nothing. I cleared my cars system memory and repaired the phone. The weird thing is that it was working when I got the phone a few weeks ago. It worked for a week, then all of a sudden stopped.
A tad bit late, but here nonetheless

I know this is an old thread, but I wonder if you were listening to bluetooth audio or not. If you weren't listening to bluetooth audio on your car radio, then you wouldn't hear the voice navigation prompts. Unfortunately I don't believe voice navigation works like the phone.
The phone will mute any audio currently playing and automatically switch to the phone.
The nav audio works through bluetooth audio only. It doesn't mute anything so unless you are listening to bluetooth audio you won't hear the prompts (they are there, but you aren't listening to the source where they come through).
I think the solution as stated was to turn off Bluetooth media profile so it only comes out of your phone and leave on bluetooth call audio profile so it comes through the car.
