Hello,
I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions or recommendations for a problem I have with my GN2,
The problem is that I use a pattern lockscreen with my GN2 and when I use my Motorola 730 bluetooth headset to make outgoing calls, it won't work when the screen is locked. It looks like this is because the phone activates the phone's voice dialer, sVoice, which won't launch when the screen is locked. Is there a workaround for this, or a similar bluetooth headset that will work with a locked screen? I would like to both make and receive calls when driving, without having to put in the diabolical pattern I use to unlock the screen.
Thanks in advance,

I have the same problem with my Galaxy S2 and now this phone when a lockscreen pattern is used.
I have the same problem. Except I'm using a Jawbone Icon and face unlock. From what I can tell it might be because it's trying to open S Voice instead of the normal Google Apps or it's Touch Wiz. Either way When I'm on the road, which is all the time it is super annoying to have to unlock my phone before using the hands free...

I think I found the solution but I have to test it with my note 2. Download automateit pro from play store and toggle it so that Bluetooth connected will bypass lockscreen and bluetooth disconnected will engage lockscreen. For $1.60 it is worth a try. For some reason it still won't work on my GS 2. From a lockscreen, as soon as I connect the bluetooth, the pattern screenlock is disable and I can operate the phone BUT I still can't activate voice dialing either from the headset or long press search. The voice control app still think the phone is lock. It maybe because I am on custom ROM on my GS 2.

OK I think I found the solution to this locked screen and making outgoing call with bluetooth using S Voice.
When you use a lock screen of some sort besides the swipe, you get this problem. You are fishing, the phone is in the waterproof case, or in your pant pocket, you activate S Voice using your bluetooth and S voice will not come up since the phone is locked and you can't make voice dialing until you unlock the screen.
Solution:
Tap the green phone app, select call settings, Accessory settings for call, look under BT headset settings for outgoing calls, enable Make calls even when device locked.
Now using my LG stereo bluetooth headset, I still can't directly access the S voice when the screen is locked. But, I can long press the call button(on my BT headset) and then it will dial the last number called. Then I quickly hang up, lightly press the call button(on my BT headset), and then S voice will be enable and I can say "Call David Mobile or play music, etc).

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.
Has anyone figured out a solution to the problem when S2U2 is active that pressing the button on the bluetooth headset does not activate the voice dial feature? I have version .99 install and it was a known issue back then. I have not seen that any of the newer versions have a fix for this, and a search did not yield any answers...
BTW bluetooth voice dial works fine with the HTC lock/unlock program and that is my workaround when using my headset, but I would much prefer using S2U2 all the time.
Hi,
I just purchased the scala rider intercom
its an intercom system for motors. I am having one issue with my N1 on voice dialing. I can give a command to voice dial and while the phone is "on" (that is, the screen is on) it works, kinda, it gives me the suggestions of the name I just said. when I press it on my phone it dials. ( so to be clear the input command is done by my scala head set.)
obviously this isnt how it should works. I need to give the command and not touch my phone at all. When my phone is "off" (that is, the screen is off) it does give a vibrate signal after I give the voice command, but it doesnt dial. I suppose this is because the phone wants me to choose and confirm the name i just shouted.
I tried adding 'mobile' to a name in my list. when voice dialing normally it only prompted the correct name (no other suggestions), but the nexus still wants you to confirm it. I cannot confirm a name while riding a bike so I actually want it to just call the first suggestion. its always right anyway.
the scala rider manual doesnt say anything, it just refers you to the phone's manual. but I cant get it to work.
I cant really test it on my 'normal' bluetooth headset, because it doesnt support any voice dial options.
does anyone know if I can force the nexus to dial the first suggestion? maybe someone has experience with voice dialing via a Bluetooth system and has another solution..??
any help is much appreciated.

I have a Scala Q2, however i have never used it for voice calls.
However have you tried to 'confirm' the call by pressing one of the buttons on you Scala. I think one is accept and the other is decline.
I currently have a galaxy s3 running Cyanogenmod 10.2.1 and I have ran into a very annoying problem. I bought a bluetooth headset in the hopes that I could press the call button and use google now to send text messages, calls, etc. However it works nothing like this at all, sure it will let me do that if the phone is unlocked, but if the screen is off and it is in my pocket the best I get is "voice dialer".
What I am wondering is if the Moto X is able to touchless control, through a bluetooth headset, while the device is locked? If so then I am sold on the phone. lol... Or should I wait for the X+1?

Agreed. I can touch my BT headset button with the phone locked and screen off and say 'call (wife's name)' and choose mobile, work, etc. No unlock necessary. BTW, I'm using a Moto H17 BT headset.
Hello,
I usually dial by name using my headset. I often have my phone in my pocket which means I need to take it out of my pocket and aim the phone at my face and or unlock the screen to make the call. How do I disable this wonderful "feature" so I can use my phone without touching it?
I went to settings, smart lock, trusted devices - added my BT headset. My phone no longer locks but unless the screen is turned on it won't use voice dial from the BT headset so I'm still missing a step.
