Hey folks,
I got my smartwatch (Samsung Gear S2) connected to my Sony Xperia Z2 via Bluetooth.
Tasker is installed on both devices.
When I make a phone call with my watch (and only then) I want my phone's speaker to automatically start.
When I'm driving, for example, and I tell my watch to call someone, I don't want to take my eyes of the road to fumble for the speaker button.
If tasker can't distinguish between making a call with a bluetooth device\watch and a 'regular' call, maybe I'll just set up a button on the homescreen with 'Car Mode' or so and thus enable the speaker thing ... though it'd be much more convenient if Tasker could distinguish between Bluetooth call and 'regular' call.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Hey guys,
I have a BT car headset which allows me to listen to music through A2DP and take telephone calls with it's built in microphone.
However, the built in mic is CRAP for voice activation and calls where as I can use my Gear to voice activate stuff and it works perfectly when driving.
However, if I dial using my watch, then the conversation goes through the watch, so 2 questions:
- Can I dial with the watch, then have my conversation via the car stereo's BT?
- Going one step further, can I have a conversation that uses the mic of the Gear and the speakers of the car?
I know this is all a question of BT diversion, but I don't know how to achieve it. Tasker?
Hi there!!
I have a "problema" with my Skype when is connected with my gear...
sooo, if my gear is connected with my Note 2 or S4 (custom DN3 4.4.2 and stock) and I start a video call with Skype, the loud speaker doesn't work (only the earspeaker), I have to turn Bluetooth off to use the loudspeaker in the phone. It's quite strange, even thought the gear is paired as a Bluetooth speaker, it doesn't make any sense...
Its annoying to be oblige to disconnect my gear everytime I use Skype, which is almost everyday.
does any one knows this?
thanks!
Happy Sunday folks,
On my previous rooted lg g4, I was able to initiate tasker tasks remotely through my Bluetooth headset and using utter/eva e.g. while cycling, I double press the headset button, say a specific phrase and initiate a tasker task.
On my new Huawei p9, when I double press the Bluetooth headset button only the internal microphone is activated which doesn't work while cycling.
I've tried configuring the microphone type using sound about and smart Bluetooth headset to no avail. I've ticked the Bluetooth headset option on google now as well.
I don't understand the difference between your g4 and the p9.
May I kindly ask for your help with this?
Party on, Jonathan.
Hey everyone,
Just wondering if anyone knows if it is possible to 'switch' my Bluetooth devices when an incoming call comes using tasker?
I currently have an Android headunit in my car but the quality is terrible, the person on the other end complains about an echo every call. I still use the headunit to stream audio though. I've given up on fixing the headunit, so I've decided to buy a hands free kit for making and receiving calls.
So I want to be able to set something up in tasker on my phone along the lines of "if incoming call, then connect to X Bluetooth device (hands-free)". Then after the call the Bluetooth will switch back to the headunit when the hands-free device is powered down.
Does this seem plausible? If not I will just have to do all Bluetooth through the hands-free kit.

Could do, but the lag might be problematic.
What I do is long press the device in the Bluetooth list and deselect media sharing for the headset. Then deselect phone & contact sharing for the head unit.
This works to route calls to my headset in the car.

Thanks for the suggestion, I have done similar with a Bluetooth speaker at home that I didn't want to do calls on. Would my phone (Nexus 6p) allow/need to be connected to the headunit and handsfrer at the same time for your suggestion to work though?

Yes, you can connect to both. I do it all the time. If you wait for a call to come in to connect to a device, you're likely to miss the call. Tasker would have to recognize a call coming in, then connect to the hands free unit then you answer the call. Lots of steps ☺
Hello,
I have a problem with my device connecting automatically to a Bluetooth speaker. While it's nice in most case, it annoys when I want to use Google Assistant at night in my bed without touching the phone and that the answers to my requests go through the speaker in another room.
I don't have root and I have heard of Automate and Tasker.
Which is best and easiest to set for that particular task (automatically switch to phone speaker and mic when Google Assistant is called) ?
Thanks for any advices.
