Hi there guys
so i just bought a new car, and paired its bluetooth to my s4,
my problem is even though i've set google now as (my double tap option)
when i press the call button in my car, it still launches S VOICE
is there an alternative, and if so how can i swap it
please help
cheers
gits
I noticed this as well. Kind of nonsenses if mobile-data is disabled or unavailable because of lack of coverage or rooming.
A simple voice control without all the "fancy stuff" would be preferable. Any chance S Voice can be replaced by 3rd party apps?

Apologies if this is an FAQ, but I've had a quick look and drawn a blank.
I've just got my first Windows mobile phone (Vario II) and one of the things I really miss compared to my old Nokia, is that when I connect my bluetooth headset, I'd like the phone to switch to 'auto answer' and for the volume to be set to max. When I disconnect the headset, I'd like the phone to refert to a 'normal' or 'general' profile.
I require this because I use it on a motorcycle in conjunction with an intercom system, and I need the phone to auto answer after say 2 rings.
Is this possible on a smartphone?

Glenn
Join the club mate......
I've been using the Vario2 in combination with a Nolan N-102 with the N-comm BT kit on it.....
I've been #$^&# with it for weeks now and I've made some progression...
First you need a program that allows you to select profiles like Nokia used to have...
I use PocketzenPhone but maybe there are some other(better) programs to do that.....
So then u can swith to a bike profile I've made and enable auto answer....
I've run the cab file to redirect BT sounds to my helmet in stereo (floats somewhere on this forum)
The only thing I can't do at the moment is enable Voicedial from the helmet...
If I press the button designed to start it ........f%ck all happens....
Still working on that but I'm running out of ideas....so any help would be appreciated...

Hi, the reason you can't activate voice dialing from your headset might be to do with the BT Audio cab you have installed to redirect sound through your headset. If the cab you have installed is the most common one floating around then this actually disables the launch of voice dialing in favour of being able to toggle between sound in the headset and sound on the phone (pressing and holding down the call button for a few seconds on your headset normally).
If you look in the registry HKLM>software>OEM>voicecommand, if launchapenable has a value of 0 then it is disabled. You can enable it again by changing the value to 1 but this will mean that your headset button will now not work as an audio toggle feature because it will launch the voicedial software every time.
Not sure if this is the answer to your problem but it sounds like it might be, hope this helps
Am trying as we speak....thanks for the reply....see wat happens...
D.
Well.....Ive got good news and bad news....
The good news is that I can trigger voicecommand now......
The bad news is that MS voice command 1.6 is not reconizing my accent...(dutch)...
So out of 10 tries it never called the number i wanted.....
So I tried the build in SDdialer.....and that one is doing a better job....
However I can't make the sounds to stick in my helmet........
I mean...
With MSVC by pressing the button on the helmet I could redirect the sound to the helmet and get a voicecommand tone at the same time....
By symply not speaking or saying '"cancel" it would cancel the voicecommand but the sound stayed in the helmet.....
With SDdialer following the same steps as above the sounds does not stay in the helmet but goes back to the speaker......
Any ideas????
BTW is there a dutch version of MS voice command?
If you go back into the registry, in the same location as before, check the value that is in VoiceCmdDuration (This is the amount of time the voice prompt stays active for in seconds) .. the audio cab file usually sets this to 86400 (24 hrs in seconds), if yours is low eg. 10, 20, 30 etc.., set it to 86400 and that may sort out the problem.
Duration is set fort 24 hrs....already..
Funny thing is that MSVC is not cutting out and the sddialer is...
Regsetting stay the same.....
By pressing the button on helmet I just change the exe file.....
Only option is to try and get MsVC to work and get use to my voice....
D.
Hmmm booking slow process.....tryed to call with MsVC and now 2 out 2....
Ordered to play media from helmet......worked..
This is only sitting in the livingroom with helmet on.....looks absolutely silly but thats besides the point
P$ssing with rain here so hoping for better weather to go for a roadtest...
So thing needed for me to get it to work...
-MsVC 1.6
-Bluetooth stereo cab
-Regedit from the MsVC topic..
-PocketzenPhone for designing profiles.....however thinking on removing that...and see how that works.....
D.
I am glad that you are at least part way there to solving the problem
I don't have Voice Command on my phone. On the rare occasion I use voice dialling I use the standard SDdialer program but my sound diversion does not revert back to the handset like yours.
I must have changed something on it to get it working but I am afraid I don't know what because, when I was trying to get it working, I tried absolutely everything and it was quite a while ago now so I have forgotten what I did
It sounds like Voice Command is going to be okay for you though so that is good.
By the way, Phonealarm is also another good profile switching program.
Thanks for the replies guys, but I think I may have accidentally discovered my own solution.
On my T-mobile vario II, if I go to the Phone->Settings and select the 'more' tab (need to scroll along the last tab at the bottom of the screen) there is an option to 'Automatic pickup' which will auto answer a call after x number of rings.
I had always assumed this would kick-in even if no headset was present. However, I've just done some simple testing, and it looks like the auto answer only kicks-in if the phone is currently in comms with a headset (I used a bluetooth one but probably the same for the supplied 'hands free' kit).
So this functions exactly as I want it to.
Oh, and Pdanny, for background info I'm using a Nolan 101 (no bluetooth) with speakers and mic installed. These connect to my 'Starcom' intercom (via an old fasioned curly lead) which allows me to hear directions from my 'TomTom' and also take phone calls via the starcom/phone bluetooth partnership. Down side is that the wife can also talk at me .
As I never want to initiate a call while riding, this setup works just perfect for me. I don't need to remember to change the phone setup either before or after mounting the bike. As soon as the bike ignition is turned on, the intercom partners with the phone. Then if I receive a call, it auto answers and I can take the call. Once the ignition is switched off, the phone reverts to normal non-auto answer.
In my research for this issue I came across an app called 'phonealarm' (from pocketmax.net), it was the manual for this that made me try the above experiment. This looks like a neat app and I may still end up installing it as long as it does not hog the processor.
[edit]OOps sorry Nicky, just noticed you already mentioned phonealarm. I'd be interested in any comments you have about this app, good ot bad [/edit]
Once again, thanks for the replies, and I hope this thread helps someone in the future.
Regards,
Glenn
Phonealarm......give that a try thanks.....
Im also going to test with the buils in auto pick up.....
I knew it was there but i assumed that it would ALWAYS auto pick up...
It seems that that is not the case therefore making the Pocketzenphone and possibly phonealarm obsolete.....
I also get all the sounds over BT in my helmet....incl TT
Also... I don't have a wife .......sounds like a perfect world hey???
Keep you posted on the outcome of the xperiment....
Grtz

Hi knnelg, glad you managed to sort your problem. I always knew the option for autoanswer was in the settings but like you, I had assumed that it would autoanswer all calls regardless of whether a headset was connected so it is handy to know that it only applies when in headset mode.
You asked about opinions on Phonealarm, I think it is a great program. I have used it on my Vario II and my last phone, an XDA Mini S, and it is has always worked fine, no problems at all.
I really missed having phone profiles when I switched to PDA style phones so Phonealarm was one of the first 3rd party apps I ever bought and I wouldn't be without it now Also, Bruce, the developer of phonealarm, is very good at listening to users input and if enough people make a suggestion about an improvement or tweak to the program, he will implement it in future versions which is really nice.
One of the other programs Pocketmax does, Alarmtoday, is useful too.
I have an android tablet installed in my car running Torque, and it's worked well for the months I've had it in my car.
Now though, I want to utilize my phone wifi tether to allow the tablet to pretty seamlessly do navigation as well since I don't have the 3g version of the n7.
I already have a tasker profile set up to kill Torque and launch maps when I am connected to my phones hotspot. Problem 1 solved. The things I need now is a way to activate google voice search remotely. The way the tablet is installed it sits flat on the upper dash when not in use and pops up when in use, which puts it just outside of comfortable arm reach when in use to activate voice search.
Now, I could set up a tasker profile to launch voice search when it connects to the correct wifi, however the timing is never consistant as to how long it takes from hotspot activation to voice search, and as well it only activates once when it connects to wifi. If I miss the window to speak or need to get it search again I have to either poke at the screen or turn off the hotspot and turn it back on. Less than ideal.
Any ideas are welcome. Bluetooth remote control isn't my first option since Torque uses my bluetooth connection to connect to the OBD sensor. Ideally it would by a one button widget from my hotspot phone I could hit once the tablet is connected to push a command to activate voice search to the tablet.

You could try set up a nfc tag or something similar so that when you move it near the tab it activates the voice search. But I don't know how practical it would be for your install...

For some reason, pressing the phone button on my Bluetooth headset (Scala Rider), will not launch google now, or any other app on my LG G2. It seems like the phone do not recognize the headset as handsfree kit.
Anyone has an idea how to solve this issue? I’ve checked the headset set with some other phones (GALAXY 3, Optimus G) and it worked fine.
thanks,
same problem here

Hi, I have the same issue! I've been searching for a solution for a while without success.
I have contacted the LG support and they confirm to me that there is no voice call function through bluetooth headsets.
My model is LG G2 (Stock SW Version D80210a-EUR-XX).
The following are the attempts have made:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2476080&page=5 (post 43)
NOTE: I have Google Now instead of Google search and I use Cyberon Voice Commander instead of Voice Dialer
-I've tried Bluetooth Launch
-I've tried VoiceDialerLauncher.apk (Post 10 Quote: "It is because phone launch MIC_VOICE_COMMAND intent action instead of VOICE_COMMAND. I wrote small application that intercept MIC_VOICE_COMMAND and run VOICE_COMMAND. I tried it with motorolla Voice Commands (installed on system partition) and it is works fine.")
-I've tried Tasker AUTOVOICE!
I think the solution is quite simple, for example with an xposed module, but we have to make our request to be take into account seriously.
Please keep us in touch if we found a solution!
Hi, I have the same problem. Has anyone been able to fix this?
I tried to copy all Bluetooth files from a D801 ROM with no luck... Phone is Bricked, if anyone can help im sure its easy to enable HFP in our version.
Hi Guys, got a solution for you... Sort of...
What I found you can do is remap the redial action on your headset/car to activate the voice dialer app. Just download an app called "Smart Bluetooth Headset" by Yassen Dobrev https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.yado.btbut
Then set it to remap the Redial Button to open your favorite voice dialer.
This might not be what we where looking for but it will do the trick handsfree.
Best
I have the same problem; the phone button does not work in both my intercom-headset (Sena SMH5) inside my helmet and in my car stereo bluetooth hands free phone.
I tried changing this file /system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf as in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1023193 but no luck
I heard that with CyanogenMod roms there is not this problem, but I prefer to stay with the stock rom.
Anyone has come up with a solution?

Morning,
This is my first post and I hope you guys can help me out. I have an Erisin Head Unit with Android 6.0 on it. I want to use the voice command option from either Google or Robin to make calls. But it does not work. I think this is down to the /Phone/Dialer/Bluetooth app. Can anyone recommend an Phone/Blutooth/Phone app that would work in this way.
What i want o do,
Just by pressing the Google Voice button or Robin App button, I want the head unit to call using the blutooth connection to my phone. The Phone app works at the moment but not with voice commands. So would like to have to just touch the screen one to activate the Voice option and then speak and get the Headunit to make the call.
The Voice app like Robin works for most other things I want like starting Spotify etc...
thanks in advance for any help.

I searched but couldn't find much about it. When i received my PX5 Xtron unit, Ok Google would dial and call people, however the past few days it will no longer call someone.
It will load the Google as if it's going to call them, but it doesn't then open the bluetooth dialler and proceed.
Any fix?
OK Google has never called anyone for me, unless I used Mtcdialer? Perhaps OEM's have started putting that on their devices? Wouldn't surprise me.

Hmmmm, i did have 'ok google' switched on my phone, so unless it was allowing call actions through that whilst my phone was locked and then bluetoothing the call through. Coincidently, i switched ok google off on my mobile and it would be the same time that it appeared to not work on the head unit.
I'm not sure what's wrong, but my Xtrons headhunit responded to "OK google" sometimes intermittently and my phone is an iPhone so it probably wasn't because of your phone (unless you never properly got it work on you headhunt at all).
To get voice activation turned on I installed the "google assistant" app, but I suspect it does not reopen after a reboot causing the issue of only working sometimes. Also, if you open the bluetooth app on the headhunit it can take over the audio from the rest of the system. It's kind of confusing, so I'm not sure where the issue is.

It responds to 'OK Google', the issue is that it won't dial phone numbers anymore through it. If yours is intermittent, ensure that any music/ audio is turned down, as it won't pick it up on the mic.

I bought about 9 months ago, directly from Seicane a radio of 9 "android 8 PX5 for a Subaru Forester, the integration and the connectors are excellent but the radio had problems with the bluetooth handled by google and when connecting the cell phone via usb Easyconected, it did not recognize the cell phone, I asked for support but the solution from them was simple, and it was still the same, at the end I found a firmware of Hal9k, I installed to the radio and with this all these problems were solved, the link is "https: //forum.xda -developers.com/android-auto/mtcd-software-development/rom-hal9k-rom-3-mtcd-e-head-units-t3847477 ", check for your problem
Thank you for answer, i try to install this mod when i have a bit time, sure this work on atoto chipset?
