Question for bluetooth handsfree users - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have paired my sgs2 with my bluetooth car kit. Phone calls etc work perfect, using my car's speakers and microphone. However, when i try to use the satnav on my phone, or start the Voice Commands app and it says "what would you like to do?", the audio comes out of my phone's loudspeaker rather than my car's speakers!
Is anybody else having this problem? Or is it working fine for other users?
I am using a Parrot 3200LS. Here is a screenshot of it's bluetooth settings on my phone:

On google people mentioned that there should be 2 checkboxes, Phone and Media, but i only have Phone. Is this what is causing the problem? Is there any way i can fix this?
Thanks

EDIT: I found the answer to my own question. Apparently my Parrot 320LLS does not support A2DP, which is required to play the navigation, music, etc sounds through the car speakers via bluetooth!

Use internal phone mic on bluetooth call

Hi,
I have samsung vibrant, and have car stereo with bt handsfree, the problem is that the microphone of the car stereo has bad quality, the other side can't hear me.
The vibrant's mic is very good even if the phone is far away
My question is how I can disable bluetooth mic and use the phone internal one? Only the audio from the phone will be routed to the car stereo?
I searched all over the net but nothing, just a lot that searching solution like me.
Searched in android api for microphone disable,there is only mute procedure, no route/disabling.
Maybe some hack, I played with audio service menu of the sgs not found something there
Don't want use aux port for this
Please developers put attention that thing is usefull for a lot of users
Thanks

[Q] Is it possible to force bluetooth media audio to emulate wired connection?

I have the A100 HTC Car StereoClip for streaming audio to my car stereo, but only the bluetooth profile is for "Media audio."
The device works great for streaming audio - it sounds just as good as a wired connection - but, it will not work for phone calls. When a call comes in, the "media audio" stops/pauses, then the call comes through the phone's speaker. With a wired connection using the physical headphone jack, the call will go through the car stereo and use the phone's microphone.
Is it possible to force a different profile for the A100 to do the same thing as the wired connection?

I've been searching for this same exact question, but haven't found jack. Did you ever figure this out?

Not yet. I haven't found any app or utility that will make the A100 work like a corded link for phone calls.
I am hoping the answer lies in the /system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf file. I haven't really looked into it because root is needed to test anything there. I plan to resume looking into this once s-off is achieved.
any solutions as of yet????

Nothing as of yet. However, the answer is not in the audio.conf file.
Can anyone tell me where the system detects the headphone jack is inserted and then redirects the audio?
Go to the bluetooth settings for your device, you will see two different options "Phone Audio" and "Media Audio". If you only see "Media Audio" your A100 does not support the required bluetooth prodiles to handle phone calls.
These are two separate bluetooth audio profiles, HFP for phone and AVRCP/A2DP for media.
When a phone call comes in, the phone pauses the AVRCP connection for the duration of the phone call, and HFP comes on to handle the call.
This is the device I used for bluetooth media/phone calls in my older model car, nothing spectacular about it but it works decently for being a $40 unit.
Connects via wire/RCA jacks to aux port and needs to be hardwired into power though.

Reading around ive abandoned the idea of finding a way to get this working on a2dp devices. Its just so stupid. All I want is to route the audio through the speakers, the microphone in the one x is close enough to pick up my voice. This is what I used to have when I hard wired the audio to my stereo in my car, and now with blutooth I can't.

Exactly. I haven't given up yet, but I agree that information on this is few and far between. Most info seems to be focused on redirecting all audio to mono SDP. With root, it should be possible somehow by re-routing the audio. I'm even ok if the music gets blended with phone audio - it might be annoying, but not nearly as frustrating as not getting phone audio via A2DP.

Unfortunately, even SoundAbout can't force the phone audio over AD2P-only devices. I talked (well, emailed) with the author about it last December. He was very receptive to input and he even tried a couple things, but no joy.
This solution requires root and knowledge beyond me. Or, I need to buy an adapter that supports AD2P and SCO and has a microphone.

Bluetooth Headset connect voice only no music, sounds etc

Hi, as the title says, I want to connect my BT headset for telephone conversations and nothing else, like music, notifications etc.
What I could do with ease with Galaxy S2. Now, with the lumia, I am on Bluetooth settings and it displays
Jawbone ERA
connected voice, music
I want to connect only to voice and not music. It sends all the sounds to BT and i experience battery drainage in both.
Is it even possible to do it?

Just tested it with Sennheiser MM100 - works. When it says "Music, voice connected" both should be connected and work.
Thanks. I am interested to connect only the voice and not the any other audio and music. Is it possible to connect just the voice like I can with any android?
I just tried, I can not find a way on removing the individual profiles. All or nothing I guess. Do you run music to something else (maybe a by speaker) while the headset is connected for calls?

No, but I have problem with excessive battery consumption on both headset and handset when they are BT connected and all the sounds are sent in the headset.
Well I confirm this has been fixed with the latest connectivity update. Now I am connected to my Jawbone ERA only voice (no music, audio etc) and to my Jawbone JAMBOX music only. It may took a month or so, but better late than ever.

[Q] Note 2 Bluetooth profile question

Are there any Bluetooth profile mods that allow all audio to be played through a car Bluetooth setup?
My Nissan armada syncs the in call talking just fine with my n2, but I would like to play my videos and music thru the Bluetooth connection as well.
Tia!
Please post questions in Q&A

I'm not sure what mod would be needed. My audio plays fine through the bluetooth in my car. You might just have a compatibility issue with your car and phone. I'm not sure about video as I've never tried.

Your car stereo or adapter needs to support A2DP. I've had no problems with any sounds or calls via Bluetooth making it to my car stereo. I'm using an after market adapter (Motorola t605). Do you hear anything besides phone calls that indicates it's an app problem?
Hit the settings on the connection on your phone, make sure it shows both calls and audio under the connection.

Bluetooth audio in car

Hello,
I was wondering if maybe someone experiences the same or if someone has a solution for this.
When I drive I like to use TomTom Go on my phone as my main navigation, I don't like the car's navigation. I have a new Peugeot 308 SW and it has a large multimedia touch screen.
I enable bluetooth on my phone so that when I am called, the audio of the call goes through the car's audio system. This works great but because I am using bluetooth, the audio from the navigation is muted. Looks like the audio via bluetooth of TomTom Go (but also Google Maps) cannot communicate with my car's audio system. This is really annoying and the only way to get audio from TomTom Go is to disable the bluetooth and then I get audio through the phone's speaker, which is fine.
I tried an app called SoundAbout for Android and this gave me the option to route "media audio" via speaker. So I thought that I had found the solution, unfortunately it also routed phone call's audio through the speaker.
So, to summarize: does someone have an idea how I can enable bluetooth in my phone, use a navigation app (like TomTom Go) and hear the navigation's audio? I am fine if the audio is then through the phone's speaker, as long as the phone calls are through the car's audio.
Thanks for the help and Merry Christmas!

Hi,
I've checked all the settings, in TomTom, Google Maps and Bluetooth, nothing helps.
I've been reading some stuff online and it's a very common issue. I do read that people using an iPhone don't seem to have this issue.
In Google Maps' settings I've checked that audio goes through Bluetooth, but no success. I guess it also has to do with the software in my car. My colleagues have the same problem. I guess when I use TomTom and I want to hear turn-by-turn guidance, I will need to switch off Bluetooth.
I will keep looking for a solution and will reply here when I find it. I just installed A2DP Volume Androi app but haven't test it yet. The description sounds promising, I hope this helps me.
You can try different navigators, like igo,that can use alarm volume setting instead of app volume setting, and it can be seen by Bluetooth speaker

Thanks PeppeBove.
I have Google Maps, TomTom Go and Sygic, not really looking for another navigation app.
I will keep looking for a decent solution.
Thanks for your input!
What is your car audio system? If it's Sony's, you can use Songpal.
you can hear voice from phone through your car audio if you change input from radio to bluetooth.
#1 Set up can be:
CAR
Input: bluetooth
PHONE
play music by bluetooth,
use your navi, and music will automatically go quieter when navi speaks
#2 Another solution is:
PHONE
in app, in voice settings or bluetooth settings, set up "use phone speaker instead of bluetooth"
It will play navi by phone, and calls will be like always by car system.
You cannot mix inputs in car system, so radio and phone bluetooth. When you have call, your car system is changing inputs, but it take some time. So if you would like to play it like that, you will have 3 sec of every communicate cuted off. So better use, solution #1 or #2
