Is there a way, or a planned system upgrade, to make "Smart callback" work over Bluetooth? Or, alternatively, a way to assing contact to a SIM? At the moment the phone is unusable for calls in a car because it always prompts which SIM to use when making a call, which means that the car's Bluetooth dial interface cannot be used without answering that question on the phone itself, which is against the law. All other dual sim phones I had in the past handled this by remembering which SIM was used for the last call on a per-contact basis, but OnePlus does not. I have tried various third-party dialler applications, most of them don't work well with Bluetooth.

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.
I searched and found only old information from last year on this...
Does anyone have bluetooth headset-initiated voice command dialing working with their Captivates?
If so, please tell me exactly how you are accomplishing this -- what bluetooth headset, what ROM, what apps, your procedure for initiating a call from your bluetooth headset.
I'm not interested in any procedure that involves looking at or even touching the phone itself. I need a solution that will let me place a call to the contact of my choice solely from my bluetooth headset -- just push the button on the headset, tell it who to call and reliably make the call to the contact and phone type (mobile, home, etc.) that I tell it.
I am currently using the new Andromeda ROM but would be very interested in hearing what new ROMs do this well.
Thanks!
I am running Paragon ROM and I am able to make calls through my car stereo via Bluetooth voice dialing. Leave the phone in my pocket, hold a button down on my stereo until the voice asks for a command, I then say "Call Contact". If they have more than one number it asks if I want to call them at home work or mobile. I say "Mobile". The voice then repeats "Call Contact mobile"
I am running Paragon RC5.1, but Bluetooth voice dialing has worked for me since I first flashed with RC3.
Is this a rant or do I have valid questions? I guess the moderators will decide.
I have done a bit of searching here and on Google about: Vlingo, GoogleVoice Talk, Samsung powered by Vlingo on the GNote and I cannot believe I am not catching more hits about others “complaining” about the inconsistent behavior and general unreliability of voice control on Android and the Gnote in particular.
Add Bluetooth to the mix and it becomes MOST frustrating. I use a PlantronicsVoyager Pro+ headset.
I long push the BT headset button and never know what to expect; will it work this time, will it not?
· When I get a response from the phone, by that Imean the phone switches to the voice control app, It sometimes announces how many missed calls I have and then prompts me “voice talk is ready” or at other times “Vlingo is ready”. Sometimes it just announces how many calls I missed and goes no further, at other times after announcing the number of missed calls it will continue on to state that “it” is ready at which point I can say “Call blahblah at home” etc.
· Many times the phone just does not react at all as if I did not long push the button on my BT headset even though in Settings> BT settings on the phone it shows that the headset is paired.
· Some days, when the line item above occurs, I click on my “paired” BT headset listed in BT Settings and I can hear the acknowledgement tone in my ear “The Voyager also has a voice that states “Phone 1 connected “ and then I can initiate a call via BT. After I end the call the connection to my BT headset drops off again and I cannot initiate another BT session unless I again tap on the paired BT headset listed in BT settings..
· I can often resolve these issues by either powering off\on the BT headset or by rebooting the phone.
· Again, without changing any settings in Vlingo,Voice Talk or with BT settings; Some days I get an announcement that I have a new TXT message (in my headset and via the speaker which of course to me should be either\or but not both, sometimes the announcement tells me who sent the TXT msg. and speaks out the message that was sent, other days I don’t even get an audible notification.I am NOT making any changes to any of the settings at this point.
· Somewhere in the settings section of the phone,Vlingo or is it voice talk I was able to select a specific sound to play for incoming TXT messages which I have yet to hear played when a TXT msg. is received.
Oh and yes, there is a difference in the way things behave based on if the phone is charging or not or if the screen is off or not.
I also find it rather confusing with the various settings that control all this being spread across numerous different settings screens. By that I mean Android has a settings> Voice input and output” page Vlingo has its settings pages, Voice Talk as well and who the hell knows which one has president over the other, or which program is going to do your bidding, etc.
All very confusing and unfocused IMO.
I wonder if anyone at Samsung, Vlingo or Google for that matter has tried to use this “Voice activated solution” on a daily basis.
I’d like to see the chairman of Samsung, Geesung Choi, give this a go and hear his opinion on all this as Samsung has gotten into bed with Vlingo on the GNote to the point where you cannot disable it.
I come from Windows Mobile and MS Voice Command which obviously is not in the same league as these solutions, nor with Apples Siri BUT for what MSVC was, it was reliable and one could count on being able to use voice control over BT and expect it to make a damn phone call or tell you the correct time without sending you to a website.
I am not sorry for the rant here!
It seems to me that the Android OS, these third party voice solutions and the whole thing needs to be more cohesively integrated within the OS and the various apps (email, messaging, calling, etc.) and implemented in such a way that it simply works reliably!
I know that some of the inconsistencies I list above may be due to a variety of causes. HW, SW, BT stack, Voice Apps, etc. and not to forget pilot error (me). But we are dealing with a great phone, a highly configurable OS and a great BT headset and the results are less than stellar here.
We are upon ICS and if this stuff does not “come together” in its implementation and become much less fragmented and confusing on how to configure the mess of settings, Google should not be surprised to see many people choose the iPhone because no matter what one thinks of the iPhone, it isv ery consistent and cohesively thought out and gives the end user a feeling that I wish I had, and no I am not a fanboy of the iPhone, I am simply statinga fact that many people would agree with.
“It simply works”.
Not to lose sight that I am asking questions here:
Am I the only one experiencing these inconsistencies and frustrations?
Am I the only one who sees these settings spread out all over the place as less than ideal?
Do we have to accept that Android is an open environemt to mean a lack of consistency in the way apps are configured and customized?
Is everyone just "dealing with it" and willing to accept this as status quo?
AND PLEASE DO NOT FLAME ME for sharing my frustrations and my opinion. I need to be able to rely on hands free communications and I need it to work. I need the large screen of the GNote and I love what Samsung has given us.
BUT
I need it to work!
I will now go back and play with all these settings and see if I can make sense of it all.
I'm running AA on a secondary dedicated AA phone that remains in the car. The phone has no cell service and gets data through a hotspot on my primary phone.
I'm unable to make phone calls using Google Assistant on the secondary phone. I get a "Voice commands aren't available right now" message.
Should I expect to be able to make phone calls using Google Assistant on the secondary phone?
No.nyou would need cell service on the phone, a car that allows simultaneous device connections, or use aagateway on the car phone as a wireless Android auto receiver. In the case of the last option, you will have full functionality as the phone is just receiving the info from your main phone.

My car allows simultaneous connections but only the primary phone can make outgoing calls. I can make outgoing calls through the car's Bluetooth connection, just not through Google Assistant.
The only reason I have a two phone setup is I don't want to have to root my primary phone but I use an app that isn't AA compatible. I use Screen2Auto (which requires root) on the car phone so I can use the app. So AAGateway won't help me.
It appears I either need to root my primary phone (which I really don't want to do) or get a secondary phone with a cell plan (which I don't want to do either).
I have a 2019 Chevy, it allows simultaneous connection, when I issue a voice command "OK GOOGLE" to trigger, I can make calls no problem both devices take the command, but only the one with cell service completes the request. I have my main (non-rooted) phone set to "connect first" in the car settings, and am having no problems making calls from my primary phone. Hope you figure out something works, I guess I got lucky with my set up.

Yea, if I say OK Google loud enough my primary phone will hear it but I can't see it's screen when it is in the wireless charger to confirm it came up with the same information.
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.
