[Q] How to make LG HBS-730 Bluetooth work?

How can we make the LG HBS-730 Blue tooth headset/headphone work with the LG G2 (clearly an aptx phone too)?
LG Voicemate shows "connected device does not support Bluetooth voice recognition"
With Stock ROM but rooted phone
1. It pairs etc just fine BUT the call button appears to do nothing?
2. Assuming we can get the call button to work how to get google to be the dialler (not sure what default is as headset/phone's call button appears to not function)

The Tone+ are compatible with the G2, By hitting the call button on my set I get the stock android voice control.
If I swipe up from the home button I can just say "ok google" through the tones and it works.

huh? how is it possible that yours does that yet mine doesnt?
all the other buttons work except for the call button

Mine works perfect. Works with AptX too after I forced that enabled on my phone. Voicemate and Google. Phone button brings up stock android voice commands. VS980.

hmmm wonder if Verizon has slightly different software?.....
How did you force it to work with AptX and why force it when the box clearly states AptX? (least the AU model D802TA does)

I'm on LG-D800 AT&T and aptX was not enabled when I bought it. Maybe yours is. Look at this post on how to check is aptX enabled or not and if not how to enable it. BTW, I'm on CleanROM and call button on HBS730 initiates voice dialer.

thanks alex I went ahead and followed those steps.
I also unpaired and repaired the device and now HOLDING the call button down (as opposed to just pressing it) autocalls the last number dialled. hmmmm
Voicemate still doesnt recognise it

That is how holding the button is suppose to work. Given it a couple quick clicks? There is a slight lag every once and a while due to sleep. Odd yours is not working... Also, Verizon's isn't displayed or enabled out of the box.

On HTC One just have to click it once (not hold it down for a second or so).
Just checked and on CM single click does result in voice dialler popping up etc ie working properly hmmm

There is one more thing you should try on stock ROM. Disable Voice Mate. It's useless anyway. Maybe LG HBS730 is having a conflict with it.

The native way the button works for redial is hold... I may be confused as to what you meant. I use the Tone+ every day. A single quick push works 99/100 times for me for voice command. That is very odd, works all over for me. I am on Verizon's variant though. Yeah, Voicemate is subpar to Google's search, and Google searches the phone anyhow. Its only useful to make fun of, or I have just yet to find out any good use.

I just did this and it's amazing solution for me. Maybe it will work for you as well. With press of the call button on your Bluetooth headset you'll start Google Now Voice Search. From it, you can dial, redial, navigate, play song or album, launch app, search the Web,... Even works with screen off.
Voice Mate? Nah... Google Now Voice Search is much better solution.
Look at post #30.

Thanks! Now I can use Now instead of ****ty voice dialer.

2 simple commands is all I need

Thanks this worked perfectly but the fact is Google Now doesn't work well.
What I would like to see is when I push the Bluetooth button on my headset, it opens the Voice Mate application.
I really just want to be able to say:
1. "Play Music" to start shuffling through my on board music, or Google Play music either way (it's all the same)... Google Now can't do this at all as much as I've tried saying "Listen to <song/band/album name>".
2. "Call so and so" to make phone calls. The system Voice Dialer App works better for this than Google Now.
Google Now may work better in general if I am actively using my phone with my eyes and hands but to me the idea of using voice commands is so that you don't have to look at or touch your phone. My Lg Tone + opened S Voice no problem on my SAMSUNG Galaxy Note II (on older version of Jellybomb... 12.1 I think it was)... Why does the LG Tone + not open Voice Mate by default on the LG G2? I don't get it... this seems like a given for LG.
That's enough ranting lol. I love this phone so far. Anyway if anyone can bump this to a developer or something it would probably be relatively easy for a smart person to fix... I am dumb I just follow the smart people in this world
Thanks yall! I hope we can figure this out. :laugh:

My testing with Voice Mate and Now has reverted me back to stock commands. Just works. None work well enough.

Yea G Now and Voice Mate both don't work that well but for simple commands like "Play Music" and "Call Steve" Voice Mate works fine.

Launch App with button bluetooth headset (G2 d802)

With samsung (s3, s4, s5) when I press the bluetooth headset button, it starts S-voice and voice commands work.
On g2, I press the button and nothing happens, why?
What can I do?
I tried to install several apps, without success!
Help me
thx in advance

With mine it starts google search.
Did you configure the voice commands?

No! What should I do?
The problem is that when I press the headset button, nothing happens! You only hear a beep
But You work? Ex. With bluetooth launch?

raduzione
I activated google and now the "bluetooth headsets" but will not start anything!

Nothing?

seems inconsistent to me.
with the screen on, I get the voice dialer thing (not google voice search, the old school voice dialer)
with screen off, i get nothing. I tried bluetooth launch from the play store and didn't get it working there either.
I also tried this on my Nexus 5 with very similar results....although, I was able to launch google voice search for the first couple times, then it just stopped working.
FWIW, using an LG Tone+ headset and searching for ideas as well.
would love voice search to pop up with the screen off.

Hi,
I have a similar problem with my car bluetooth "talk to dial" button.
When I pair my G2, this button is disabled; when pairing other phones (Nexus 4, Galaxy Nexus) the button is active and starts google now.
I think this is related with the HFP protocol. Any ideas on how to fix this?

with screen on, it triggers google voice search.
I'm trying to work with tasker to get this thing working...but I'm not a tasker power user by any means, so I dont have high hopes

OK Google very flakey

For some reason when I'm trying to use ok Google on any screen it is very spotty if it works or not. Occasionally it will work, but most of the time it just doesn't do anything. I have any screen turned on and I also have it turned on so that should detected when the screen is off. Very rarely do either of these work, & I have to go back to the home screen and hit the microphone for it to work. Anyone know how to fix this? I have tried retraining a couple of times also.

Google App --> Settings --> Voice --> "OK Google" detection --> Retrain voice model

The service that does that apparently gets killed after a while, requiring a reboot. It's happened to me a bunch of times, for more than a year now, since the N6. It happens with other random stuff too. The N6 has a "safety" (according to a Moto rep at their forums) feature that rings the first 2 seconds or so of a phone call or alarm/timer at very low volume before it rings at full volume. Also for when you switch to speakerphone. Whatever service causes this behavior does get killed as well after a while, and the N6's alarms and rings sound off at full volume immediately, until after a reboot.

Honestly...Google Now has gotten so unreliable for me I've stopped using it. It used to be flawless...but I feel like the more they add to it the worse it gets. I don't know. Maybe it's just me.

Yes, the Nexus 5 was much more reliable.

"Ok google" sometimes refuses to respond > S8 & S8+ Any solutions?

First noticed this in Android Auto car mode app.
Occasionally it just wont respond to "OK google"
I can start my journey, make a call using "OK google"
This can work fine, but sometime it will just stop listening.
It seems to happen after a call was made. Its as if the Call app has not released the mic.
This doesn't always happen and seems inconstant. It can happen from any screen not just Android Auto.
My wife's S8+ behaves in the same way
Once it is ignoring the "OK google" command. you need to go into the google app and it will start working again
However it has on one occasion stopped working in the app. A reboot fixed that.
Anyone else having this trouble or have a theory or a solution for this?

I have been encountering the same issue as well.

i did that and have had no problem for 3 days now, the bummer is i like "my feed"

Still having this issue...... not as often though

Google Assistant not responding to "OK Google"

Hello, I have had my V20 for a couple of months now but seem to have an odd issue with Google Assistant responding to "Ok Google". Basically it does not respond unless the phone is a bout 10cm away from my mouth but when it does eventually respond and starts listening it picks up my voice flawlessly.
I have re-registered my voice multiple times.
Registered my voice from different distances
Wiped the google cache.
Tried it just the stock google launcher.
Excluded google enrolment from the optimised battery settings.
Had a search round XDA and cant find any other suggestions
General phone calls are working without issue.
Phone - H990ds
Software - V10f-TWN-XX
Build - NRD90M
So before I go and wipe the phone any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Hi I've got the same issue have you found a solution yet.

Hi I have the same issue.
Have you always had this problem or is it a recent change?
