Hi,
Have a XDA O2i and I have a motorola blue tooth handsfree.
I have been using these together fine for a while now. I have also purchased Voice Command. So my mobile speaks the number calling and my calendar reminders etc via the phones speaker and never through the bluetooth which I would dearly love. Then all of the sudden the other day Voice Command started working through the bluetooth headset and I was getting the calls announced on my bluetooth and it was fantastic. Then I tried to use the XDA and the thing was locked and I needed to reset it. Once it had been reset, it went back to announcing stuff via the phones speaker. Now I know it can be done, I want to know if there is a backdoor hack that can make this permanent and keep the XDA working at the same time. Anyone here know of this.
On a further note, I think it would be even better if you could use the bluetooth to make calls through the voice command software rather than having to use the actuall phone which sort of defeats the who functionality.
Anyway any help would be great.

My headset (a Jabra) has 2 connection settings with the XDA2i.
In standby mode you get a headphones symbol on the PDA display
In active mode the headphones have lines coming out of them
To switch between the two modes on the Jabra you tap the call button on the headset.
I don't know if this will work, but give it a try.
Been reading it for a couple of months now and learned a great deal. I have a problem and was hoping some experts could point me in the right direction.
I have an '05 Acura TL. The phone will not initiate a call over the hands free if I dial from the phone. I have to dial the number, wait for the person to pick up, press the HF button on my steering wheel and say "Transfer". Then I can talk over the Bluetooth connection. There is no problem with incoming calls, only outgoing. I previously had a Samsung phone and this problem did not occur with that phone.
I am currently on WM 6.1 (the new AT&T Rom released yesterday) and had the same problem with WM 6.0. I was hoping 6.1 would solve the problem but no luck.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
Thanks in advance.
You're not the only with this same problem. I was searching right now in this forum to solve that.
When y try to call from my Parrot, is the voice recorder that inizialize in my Kaiser waiting for a voice command.
Any one have a suggestion?
Different radio?
Where would I start debugging?
I am currently using the Parrot M6100 and the Tilt with one of Dutty's ROMs. My setup will work for a while, however, due to the way my stereo is wired in my car, the Parrot does not turn off, even with the ignition off. Every so often, I have to remove the fuse to disconnect power and then it works fine for about a week. I have tried different radios, but the same result. I tried Jetware and it did not make a difference. From the testing that I have done, it points to the Parrot as being the issue. I am planning to update the firmware to see if that helps. Maybe Accura has a firmware update that could help.
If you go here: http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=13&cat=0&dl_id=60 and download the driver there, it seemed to fix the problem that I was having. I would be in the middle of the call and all the sudden it would just drop. I tried it today after installing patch and haven't had any problems.
I've tried and tried with my parrot car kit, but nothing seems to active the phone (either the button, or the keywords), has anyone had any luck?

Typical, I really wanted this. I still get the same pairing problems (paired but not connected). Then after repeating the same process up to about 10 times is pairs and connects. From then on it's fine for receiving calls. But initiating them just isn't working for me.
So on the kits that work, how does it work, does it use the voice search (ie the one requiring a data connection) or the old style voice dialler?
Does it give you any confirmation before calling, just in case it's picked up the wrong person?
Works okay for me with a no-name bluetooth headset. I press the "attention/answer" button on the headset, the screen pops over to the voice dialing screen with some instructions, and the headset says "Speak now." I say, "Call John Smith". The headset says "Calling John Smith" and the dialer pops up and dials. It does not ask for confirmation, unfortunately (Voice Commander under Windows Mobile says, "Calling John Smith?" and you have to respond "Yes" or "No"); I guess they assume you can hit the "end" button and try again if it got it wrong. (I haven't used it much, but it's two-for-two getting the callee right on the test calls I've made.) I didn't check whether it needed a data connection or not; sorry.

For my car kit it does ask for confirmation. I guess it depends, which car kit do you have that your having contectivity problems? Foryo is much improved for me in that regard.

Works awful on my icon. Does not recognize any of the names I say.

I've got a Parrot CK3000 EVO. Worked fine in windows mobile, but in eclair and froyo I do get it to pair and connect after lots of attempts, just can't get the voice dialling working.
I've ordered an updating kit for the bluetooth set in the hopes that a newer firmware for it may help. I'll update this once I've got it.

I also have a parrot evo 3k and I'm interested to hear what you find out.
Is there a consolidated thread with compatibility or test results anywhere?
I have CM 6.0 RC1 running on my G1
My Plantronics 340 seemed to work great for voice dialing, but my car kit and other BT pieces don't.
I did get think outside BT keyboard and BT mouse working
I am running CM 6 RC1 on a Dream, with a Motorola H700 headset.
I got them to pair up without any problem, and it seems to be working without a data plan or wifi connection.
However, I noticed a couple of issues:
1) The "speak now" prompt is extremely quiet, even with volume levels maxed out on both the phone and the headset
2) It only works if the screen is "awake", meaning I still need to hit MENU on the phone in order for my command to be acknowleged (not very hands-free, is it? hopefully this is a bug in Froyo that will be soon repaired!). This is a bad thing for me, 'cuz here in Quebec, you can get a ticket for inappropriate touching of a cellphone while driving.
3) If it thinks it has the right phone number, it says "calling {whoever}", and then proceeds to dial without further warning, which is dangerous since when it speaks the "calling" notification, that too is very low volume
Is this just my configuration? Perhaps a limitation of the Dream hardware? Perhaps (this is me dreaming in technicolor) a simple software setting that needs changing?
Hi,
I've bought a "Jabra Stealth" headset and I'm unable to launch Google Now on my Nexus 6 (Android stock 5.0.1, FrancoKernel r8) with the dedicated button although it's a built-in feature of the headset. I assume that this is an issue of compatibility with Android 5.0. Jabra has answered me that I didn't configure vocal commands well but that's false. Has someone encountered the same problem and has a solution for it?
Thanks

I have a similar issue. I use a Plantronics Voyager Legend. A couple of issues:
1) press and hold of the action button will bring up "voice dialer" instead of "google now". I dont know if you've ever tried to use voice dialer, but i think its more or less deprecated since the nexus 1 was the new kid on the block.
There is an app for bluetooth on the app store that lets you choose what to launch with that button. however, it didnt work that well for me. lots of lag and it blended together with other bluetooth related issues.
2) Bluetooth never seems to "turn off". I have a smart sensor enabled headset. IE the phone should know if i have the headset on or not, and pipe phone calls and notifications and ringtones to the speaker if i dont have it on and to the headset if i do. instead, the phone constantly pipes EVERYTHING to the bluetooth headset. no fix yet.
3) phone connection to my car's bluetooth makes my audiobook start playing. I have no idea why. it is not a setting in the audiobook app. Seems that the fix is to disable streaming media over bluetooth (contacts/messages only)
From what ive witnessed with issues regarding audio, screen brightness, bluetooth, this is yet another half-baked google product with little to no attempt at a proper follow through. just a crap device rushed to market with tons of potential and a complete crap OS and barely any thought or usability effort put into anything except the home screen.
I also have the N6 with the P Legend. I am having issues where the caller can barely hear me. Do you know if you have this issue at all?

When the caller can barely hear you, check your phone. Sometimes, even though my headset is on, the phone doesn't care and attempts to use the phones speaker or mic.

That's my current issue...
I can answer the calls with either my truck or ear piece, but both will randomly not have audio. The phone says it's connected BT, but I have to switch the source to speaker or handset and then click back over to BT. The whole time while I'm begging the person on the other end not to hang up and to hold on a second. Not bad when I'm at my desk with earpiece....let's just say it's a bit more nerve-racking on the highway.

Same here. Also have a problem where, when on a call, an incoming call will kill bluetooth. This makes it unusable in my car as it becomes a real safety issue. I have to turn off BT and use the speakerphone which luckily is good enough for the job. Even switching the source and switching back doesn't always work for me.
I regret not sending the phone back for this problem. I'm waiting on v5.1 this month as rumored, hoping that will solve the problem. May just go back to my Lumina 925.
Has anyone tried going into Google settings app -> Search & Now -> Voice and turn on Bluetooth Headset (records audion through bluetooth headset if available).
I have Nexus 5 and Jabra Stealth and I had the same problem. I could solve it thanks to these indications: hackerspace.kinja.com/reassign-your-bluetooth-phone-button-to-open-google-n-1507391132
Same issue with calls not having audio through the car Bluetooth unless I switch to speaker/handset then back. I guess Marshmellow really messed up Bluetooth on a lot of people's phones not just us. Tried different rooms(AOSP, CM, stock) no help even tried updating the radio which helped Bluetooth crashing completely and requiring a restart but the phone issues remain.
Hello, I am unable to make calls with my LG L90 D410 over Bluetooth. When I press the button which is supposed to bring voice dial (I am using Cyberon Voice Commander), nothing happens (tried Supertooth Buddy, Supertooth Crystal and Supertooth HD - none of them worked).
Is there any way, how to make the calls? With my previous phone (Samsung Galaxy S Duos) it was OK.
The only way I found was to remap the re-dial function with Smart Bluetooth Headset, but it does not work quite as needed.
Would changing the Stock ROM to for example Cyanogen help with this matter?
Any help would be really appreciated, I really need to be able to do in-car calling.
Thank you very much in advance.
Can you please help, anyone? I really need the function of voice dialing over BT as I am disabled and use both hands for driving.
Solution
Hi, for someone who would tackle similar problem in the future, I solved the problem by getting different handsfree (bought Parrot Minikit Neo 2 HD) and it works!
