So, I received my new S4, and paired it with my car Bluetooth. I found the setting in locations to tell the phone when I am connected to this Bluetooth, I am in the car. Great! When it connects to the Bluetooth, it initialises S voice, so it can be controlled with voice. That is when the problem begins....To use the voice feature, the phone needs to hear my voice, but because it is connected to the car Bluetooth, the phone mic is off, waiting for input from the car mic. But you cannot access the car mic unless a call is being made! Any ideas anyone??? Please?:crying:

I paired the head set both as a wireless stereo and as hand free and it works good except 1 thing:
while I press the button on the headset to make a voice call with voice tag (which works perfectly for me with others simple headsets) ,I can't hear the beep telling me to say the tag and also i can't hear the confirmation of the tag I said.
The system IS working and the phone dials what I said,but i can't confirm while the pda is not in front of me
If I disable the "wireless stereo", I can hear the beep and the confirmation.
Does anyone know someting ?
Besides this the sound of the headset is amazing
Voicecall
Yes, I experienced the same thing with my WE-COM (cheap ) stereo bluetooth headset. If i want to make the headset activate the voicecall i have to first turn off the wireless stereo in the bluetooth connection screen. So, i leave the wireless stereo turned off most of the time. Only when i want to sit back and enjoy wireless stereo music or watch a movie using bluetooth, i turn on the wireless stereo.
I wish it can be automatic but i can't find any other ways other than manually turning the wireless stereo off and on acording to my needs.
Since my bluetooth is inexpensive, I am happy that both the wireless function and the phone function works. The shop person who sold me the bluetooth didn't know how to get the phone function of the headset to work with my u1000 at first. I had to fiddle with the pairing and setting up for quite a while at his shop. Suddenly it hit me that the pda was confused about the headset having 2 different functions and it doesn't know how to automatically switch between the 2 functions by itself. So i just have to use the bluetooth setup screen to command the pda to respond to just one of the function at a time. And it worked! So i bought the headset. And the shop was happy to make his sale.
Here is my problem.
My X10 is connected to my car stereo bluetooth, both car stereo side and phone side shows the connection is good.
But when I atempt to make a call or recieve a call, the voice will not direct to my car stereo, I have to click on the phone "bluetooth" to derect phone call voice to bluetooth stereo.
I tried to reflash, my phone, the problem is still there.
BTW, the firmware is rooted 023
When I using the stock X10a Rogers firmware, the call will automatically direct to bluetooth stereo when they are connected.
please help, thank you.
Hi all,
I've got a '08 BMW 335i, and am trying to figure out if this is a car or WP7 issue. I know my head unit does not support A2DP, but does support bluetooth headset.
99% of what I do is supported, I.E. just calling, grabbing the phone book, etc. However, voice command doesn't work. If I try to execute a voice command, the EQ bars come up to say it's listening, but neither the car's bluetooth mic or the phone's mic pick up what I'm saying.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Ben
Hello.
I have bought my new Galaxy S4 and I have some problems using it in my car.
My car is Audi A4 equipped with MMI 2G, vocal commands and bluetooth hands free.
If I connect my phone with my car, all is ok (calling and receiving calls, phonebook transfer and I can still use my car's vocal commands.
I am not able to use S-Voice Drive.
If I start car mode on the phone, s-drive automatically fire up when bluetooth connected but it still use my phone mic and speaker.
How can I solve? Someone has the same car/system?
My system does not support A2DP....
Thank you.
Chris
Are you sure your expectations are right? I have S4 and MMI 3G and S-Voice doesn't transfer to the car speakers. It didn't occur to me that it might/should, all I expected was hands-free function for phone calls and the ability to dial from the car's MMI interface system.
The Bluetooth profile in the pairing settings on the phone is "call audio" only. There is no "media audio" so I'm guessing the only function supported is to handle the phone audio.
Have you seen something suggesting that audio output other than calls should transfer via bluetooth to the car speakers?

Click to expand...

No, nothing, but I would like to have it to the car speakers and mic.
I tried a different bluetooth mono router software but no luck.
I hope someone has solved this with some kind of thirdy party software...
I'm not a techie, but I am guessing that the functionality is limited by the bluetooth profiles supported by the paired devices. If Audi have loaded only the call audio in the MMI software then that is all the car can do.
It looks like you can get after-market A2DP hardware installations (this is a MMI 3G solution, for example). That might enable audio streaming from your phone via Bluetooth, but whether S-Voice would stream also I'm not sure. If I'm honest, I doubt it is possible.
I am experiencing same issue and weird thing is that if I connect IPhone 4S and run Google Navigation I hear navigation instructions in car's speakers but with Galaxy S4 I can't get it to work for navigation instructions.
Hello everyone, I run into a really weird problem on my Note 4 when receiving voice calls while using a bluetooth headset.
Summary:
If BT headset is not already connected before initiating or receiving a voice call, you have to press bluetooth button during the call to direct sound to phone and then back to the BT in order to get the mic on the headset to work.
More Details :
1. Incoming Voice call
2. While phone is ringing i turn on the bluetooth headset.
3. I answer the call(Either from phone or the headset)
4. I can hear the other party, but he doesn't hear me.
5. The bluetooth headset mic is not working, neither the phone's mic.
6. If i press the bluetooth icon on the phone(while in a voice call) to direct audio to phone, everything works fine.
7. If i press again to direct audio back to bluetooth headset, everything works fine.
8. If the headset is already connected to the phone before i receive the voice call everything works fine.
9. If i make a voice call (maybe cause headset is already connected?) everything works fine.
10. Problem doesn't occur if it's a VOIP call through skype viber etc.
10. Using plantronics Marque M165 & M55, I have unpaired both repaired, cleared bluetooth cache etc problem still there. Lollipop 5.0.1.
For me it's a big issue since if i have the phone in my bag/pocket i have to take it out in order to be able to use the headset, which kind of defeats the purpose.
Anyone facing this ? Any suggestions?
Sorry for the long post & thanks in advance !
Anyone?
Anyone with similar problems ? Any ideas or suggestions ???
Yes, I have a similar problem, but with my car's bluetooth (the only hands free I use). This problem started after I upgraded to Lollipop, and it worked fine in KitKat.
With te device connected to the car's bluetooth, I have to make the call in the phone's Speaker mode until the other party answers. Only then I can switch to bluetooth.
If I make the call in bluetooth mode, I won't hear the ringing through the car's speakers and even after the other party answers, we cannot communicate.
This is a serious bug. It is my 4th Samsung Galaxy phone, and the only one that doesn't work properly. My previous S4 worked perfectly and I regret profoundly having bought the Note 4.
Ironically i don't face the problem you have. Mine works fine with my car's BT but i suppose this happens because in my case the car's BT is already connected to the phone.
I suppose you have tried to repair the bluetooth/ cleared BT cache etc right ?
I've just tried the phone with a Samsung bluetooth and problem solved !....So it doesn't play well with the plantronic's BT , warning for potential buyers !
