Question Disabling Bluetooth speaker mic - OnePlus 10 Pro

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.

Ringer/Notification Profile Auto-Changer?

Hi all-
I'm still fiddling with and hacking up my new HTC Fuze that I just got this week. One thing that I'm trying to find, but not having the best luck, is if there is any tool that anyone has built that will auto-change the sound and notification settings based on a connection of a BT device. For example, if I have my headset on and connected, it beeps in my ear when the phone rings, so I'd like to have the actual phone itself be silent in my pocket, then when I turn off the headset, the sound and vibration for the standard ringer is re-enabled. Anyone know of anything that does this?
Thanks in advance!
Not sure but I think SPB Phone Suite will do this.
You can setup different profiles and then rules, so if BT headset is enabled the headset profile is enabled, when the headset is disabled it'll drop back to another profile.
It's not free mind.
Hope it helps,
D.

[Q] transfer ongoing call from bluetooth back to phone?

Hi,
I have a Blue-tooth hands-free set in my car.
I often need to walk away from my car during a phone call.
It also happens that I am a few yards/meters away from the car when I make or get a call. when this happens the audio goes to the BT headset, but I can't hear it or be heard because I'm not near it.
So how can I make an ongoing call move from the BT handsfree back to my phone?
It has to be done from the phone only. No pressing buttons on the headset itself etc. (as I explained, I might be far from the headset and the car may be locked, etc.)
ThanX in advance!

How to switch bluetooth when leaving car to go to headset and back again?

I just got a 2017 honda crv lx. When im on the phone in the car i want it to be able to switch to my headset when i walk away then back to the car once i get back in. Maybe there is a tasker profile for this?
Also why does the HU need bluetooth when the phone is plugged in to usb? Is there any way to not use bluetooth but still use android auto?
I have had some issues man...not totally similar to you but this is my issue.
Every time I start my car, Bluetooth connects as it should because I may not want to use AA (Android Auto) and may want to just listen to radio :silly: . I can listen to music from my phone. I can make and receive calls with no issue. My only requirement is that I have to lower the volume of the phone ringer to silent or else I hear the screech of death from the phone speakers when a call comes in. Not the normal situation or ideal at all. Anyway, i have tried to find a way to 1-Delay the time it takes for AA to connect to the HU or 2-Have the Phone go into Do Not Disturb when connecting to the car. I have not figured out a way to do either.
Well, if I decide to use AA, and click on the image on my HU (JVC-KW-M740BT), the same happens....no calls can come in without some sort of loud noise from the Phone speakers. everything else works.
I am just at a loss as to how to automatically set up the silent ringer on my phone when connected. I have been trying to use Llamalab's Automate app....and i have gotten close but no cigar.
If anyone can contribute solutions, to your problem or mine, that would be great.
I had to put in my phone type and such...
Phone:Nexus 6P

Bluetooth and notification sounds

Sadly, Google decided to make Android 9 stream every sound a phone can make to a connected BT device, no matter if that device is capable of playing that sound, and no matter if streaming every sound makes sense at all. This leads to not hearing alarms and notifications and it also means you can't hear directional instructions by you navigation app when your phone is paired to your car's radio for phone calls only.
And sadly, Lineage decided not to undo this not-so-clever idea of Google.
I know we had this discussion before, but being not able to hear my navigation app drives me crazy every day I need to use it. My company car is equipped with a BT capable radio, that can handle calls only. But as soon as the radio and my phone are connected, Android/LOS still tries to send every tone and every sound to that radio, resulting in silencing my phone completely.
I tried some apps that can redirect any sound in a way that they appear as a phone call to a connected BT device. But those apps block calls, and while I am talking to some one, there won't be any navigation instructions on the car's speaker either and I have to rely on optical instructions, removing my vision from the happenings on the road. These apps also make the radio useless as a radio: you have to keep it switched to BT input all the time.
How about the other way round? Is there any app that can make Android stop sending a specific audio output to a connected BT device? If it's possible to disguise even music as a phone call, I imagine it should be possible to tell BT to use the phone's speaker for a specific source of sound.
There is a setting in maps whether to send directions via Bluetooth

There's a similar setting in Osmand, which sends directions as a phone call to the BT device. But using this option will interrupt the paring for phone calls, so you can't have both, you have to decide whether to use hand free calling mode or to hear your navigation directions.
BT and its settings was a thousand times more sophisticated in Android 7 / LOS 14, when alarms and notification sounds where played over the phones speaker, while your music or calls was sent to a BT device. Now, in A8/LOS15 and above, all sounds are send to a paired and active BT device. So, if your ear phones are activated, and you put them into your pocket, you won't hear any text notification or any alarm. I can not imagine the poor way of thinking at Google's development department that has lead to this idea.

Will pay $10 via paypal or venmo for someone to sucessfully walk me through a task on tasker

Problem is that notifications (only push sms) will not play through my phone speaker if my Bluetooth headset is connected (I use do not disturb and there is a conflict involving bluetooth). They only play through the headset. Android has no fix for this right now, I have tried EVERYTHING. I just downloaded tasker but don't have the time or patience right now to figure out how to learn tasker. I want all sms to play either through phone only or through headset and phone speaker and be able to specify the ringtone or notification tone. I would also like to make one particular sms to come through as a different ringtone or notification sound. Frustrated. Thanks
