Bluetooth breaks voice to text recongnition - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Galaxy Note 2 - Verizon
I noticed I am able to talk to text using the messaging and gtalk app just fine while at home with bluetooth turned on. However once in and paired to my 2012 Toyota Highlander I am no longer able to talk to text in those applications unless I turn bluetooth off. Google Now is unaffected at all.
Anyone else notice this bug?
Thanks.

This has effected me on Google now also. The only thing that works right is s-voice, but who wants to use that!? I found a workaround, but you are basically still using your phone for the voice recognition, and the Bluetooth strictly for voice calls. If you can work with that and just toggle between the two if you want to use your Bluetooth for other audio, this will work for you.
Just go into your Bluetooth settings for whatever device you have paired, and turn off "media audio". Voice detection will now work fine, but you have to do it through the phone(which kind of defeats the purpose, but hey...it's just a temporary workaround). Hope this helps

Thanks for the tip. I guess I could do that for now but that would mean no bluetooth music streaming.....grrrrrr

I hear you there, I'm not constantly jumping back and forth between the two, so for now it works, just gotta change it when I want to stream.

Not just the Note II either. My SGS3 does exactly the same thing. Seems like a bug or someone, somewhere thought it was good idea. Siri (on my iPhone 4S)worked while streaming audio and paired to my car and my Nexus 7 works too (even though it doesn't have a 'phone' both options are there and checked and it works).

I just noticed this last night. While my headset was paired, I tried to use speech recognition through Swiftkey Flow Beta and it would not work. Also, when I hit the multi-purpose button on my headset to voice dial, SIRI would come up instead.
SIRI must die. Soon.

Is there anything new with this issue?
Between this and the other problem with the music player auto starting, my enjoyment of my note 2 while in my car is severely limited.

No movement but something needs to happen as this is really annoying.

Yes that did work. Now is there a way to receive calls from a cellphone calling you from Grove IP?
I use my Skype account and it also works well.
I know there are ROMs that enable the Bluetooth functionality, but is there a flashable zip to do the same thing for those of us who'd rather stay with the stock ROM?
Be sure to change your settings in Google voice. Don't have it forward to any number have it forward to Google talk or email that way if anyone calls your Google voice number it rungs your tablet with grooveip. Wired headsets are confirmed working. I used the standard htc headset with the inline mic that came with every android htc phone I purchased and the work perfectly for you hearing the caller and the caller hearing you.
Thankyou I was having trouble getting it to receive calls.

No, you have to root, but you can keep the stock ROM , just rooted. Just to be clear bluetooth works on totally stock, but not bluetooth headset. There is a small mod to one text file you do once rooted that enables headset profile for bluetooth
Just want to know if it uses the sim or google server to call?

Bluetooth Voice Dialing on SG2?

Hi all,
i picked up a skyrocket about 2 weeks ago (coming from iphone 3gs) and was really disappointed to find out that the skyrocket does not support bluetooth initiated voice dialing.
what i mean is that i have a plantronics voyager pro (awesome headset) where i long press the button on the headset and it then beeps to prompt me to say "call so-and-so" this way while driving i don't have to look down at the phone at all.
this does not work with the skyrocket. i chatted with samsung tech support and they confirmed this is not a feature they included on a 250 dollar flagship phone and have no plans in the future to include it.
does the sgs2 allow for headset initiated voice dialing? specifically with the voyager pro or more generally any headset that you have tried? thanks!
I have a Galaxy S2 and I use a Motorola Finity bluetooth headset and voice dial works fine.

You might get more play on this in the Skyrocket forums rather than the i777 forums. The i777 has a samsung version of vlingo installed from the factory that works quite well for headset button initiated voice dialling (talks back to over the headset). I'm surprised that skyrocket doesn't have this, but there are a couple other options.
First is Google voice actions - should be available in the market I believe
second (probably better) is vlingo in the market - free app does what you want...

I use the Jabra Cruzer2 handsfree speaker phone and it works well - I did jettison the Vlingo app as I found it annoying to use and always kept my screen on (older market version, may have fixed in recent updates). I use ChoiceDialer as all I need it is for voice calling - I have no need for the other features that vlingo brings to the table.

I have no problems initiating a voicedial from my bluetooth headset, so long as the phone isn't in standby (black screen). That makes it pretty useless though, because if I'm driving with my phone in my pocket, I can't pull it out and enter my password to make the voice dialing work.
Does your voice dial work, even when the phone is in standby with a black screen?
There was another thread on this issue. I have the same problem. If the screen is locked with say the pattern lock the bluetooth headset will not initiate by pressing the button on the bluetooth headset.
Hmmm, am I doing anything wrong or what?
Anytime I tap Voice Command or Voice Talk then give it a command, it shows Processing with a cycling circle then hung.
It happens with or w/o bluetooth.
If it's hanging, then that doesn't sound like something you've done wrong. It should never hang.

Bluetooth takes step backwards

My Epic 4g Touch worked pretty good with my MyFord Touch setup in my car. It would show artist and song titles when streaming music. It would notify me of new text messages and read them aloud.
In comes my brand new Evo LTE. All that went out of the window. Pretty disappointing. It will stream music fine but no titles on the radio display. It does not tell me about new texts nor will it read them for me.
So... the latest greatest isn't as advanced as my last phone. Bummer
EDIT: I spoke too soon. I found a setting under the advanced bluetooth settings: Message Access. I set the service to on and now the messaging does work through the car stereo... Still no song info though.
Sounds like software issues that more than likely will be resolved down the line. This phone has bluetooth 4.0 so one would think that technology would get better as time goes on.
I also have a Ford with MyTouch software on it, and love the Bluetooth feature. That sucks to hear, but is something I can live with. It doesn't let you respond to the text while driving anyways. I've always wished you could talk to it and reply to texts that way. What kind of car do you have?
I hope they will be able to fix that. I have a 2012 Explorer.

afaik its 4.0.4 that has the new bluetooth stack with whatever acrynum it is that does that.

4.04 on the Epic Touch didn't have this issue (feature). Come on HTC!

thanks for the tip. no idea on the skipping though. Finally got the phone to cooperate with my 2012 scion tC (stock radio)... but i blame that on made radio more than my phone, that thing is always doing what it wants.

Did you do anything else or it just worked after you checked that off?
I have a 2011 Edge and I have it ticked off on phone but the car screen still says phone doesnt support messaging.
I might have re-paired the phone with the car, but not sure.
Update of Bluetooth Music streaming. If you are having trouble streaming music via bluetooth, turning off Wifi fixed my problem. I turn it back on and the music stops and goes every couple of seconds.
Hopefully HTC will fix this soon....

Ford Sync and BT Audio Streaming?

Hi,
I have a 2012 Ford Focus with Sync and not able to get the audio to stream over Bluetooth on my Verizon GSIII. I've looked in the Bluetooth menu on the phone and it says phone and audio sync. However when I go into Phone mode in my vehicle, only phone call audio will come through the speakers but If I try streaming music, no audio comes through the speakers (or the phone). Does anyone have Ford Sync and has successfully streamed audio through bluetooth? If so, are there settings I'm missing somewhere?
I have no issue with my GS3 and Ford Sync. But I encountered it before using my older Android phone. I resolved it by doing a master reset and pairing them again. Hope this helps.
I don't personally own sync... My Mustang and F150 are too old but I drove my Dads Fusion yesterday. I didn't have a ton of time to play here is what I found worked....
First Sync the 2,
Then go in my phone into the Bluetooth menu and click on sync and make sure they are paired & connected.
(Generally in the past it just automatically did that like on my Tbolt.)
I'll let you know as I play with it more. It was very clear bluetooth audio at that!!
I have a 2011 Ford Flex and have no issue. Make sure you're saying. "Bluetooth Audio" when prompt by the voice command from the car. If you're still are having issues try pulling the fuse in the vehicle for your SYNC system (look in your owner's manual for location) for about 60 seconds, allow it to sit for 10 minutes, resync your phone and try again.

I did make sure the volume was turned up on my phone. The Sync in my vehicle has a button to press to go into phone mode and that is what i was in... i cycled through settings there but couldn't find anything for media. I also pressed the Aux button in the car to be sure it didn't want that mode, but that was actually looking for an auxiliary connection and not bluetooth.... I'll have to experiment some more with what some people talked about in this thread, but so far no dice.

turn you bt on, on the right side of Sync there is a (*) for setup, press it you will see the call-media audio settings. select the media setting and you should be ok. you MUST be Paired to do this with bt on.

Bluetooth + ICS + Audible Notifications = FAIL

I've had the Note (AT&T) since not too long after it hit the market with AT&T. The Gingerbread release worked quite well, but I had heard "great things" about ICS. The day that ICS became available, I loaded it and was ready to be seriously impressed.
Instead, I'm quite let down. The additional "bloat" put into ICS to provide some changes to TOUCHWIZ are simply not worth it to me. What's worse the Bluetooth stuff has been changed enough, and in certain ways, to make it problematic for me now.
I have a vehicle with an integrated Bluetooth system. My phone is always paired when I'm in it, and I never make use of the audio profile for playing music through the stereo (but it's connected anyway). Under 2.3 / Gingerbread, everything worked fine. With the 4.0.4 / ICS software, audible notifications while paired to the system sound "choppy" (can't think of another way to describe it). The sounds stutters when the phone is attempting to notify me of, say, an incoming email message.
When the phone is not paired to anything, the notifications are fine.
I had an opportunity today to pair the handset to a completely different device and find that the issue follows it. It is absolutely not a hardware problem because it worked fine with GB. The issue is also not my vehicle because, again, it worked fine when the phone was running GB.
What I learned today, with the new BT device, is that the phone is actually attempting to provide the audible alert through BOTH the phone's speaker AND the audio profile / BT. On the device I had paired today, the sound through the speaker is the same sort of choppy notification it has been, but the sound through BT seems smooth.
There are no settings in the BT area to tell the phone to not use Bluetooth for audio. Does anyone know about this issue? More importantly, does anyone have a fix?
I too have that issue. Maybe a développé une ould look into this.

I use both the audio and phone BT profiles on my car stereo. It took me a very long time to enable audio. I have no clue what worked. I do know that you can see what is enabled by tapping the gear icon next to the paired item in the paired item list.

The problem isn't in getting both working... The issue is HOW the phone works when both are enabled. There's almost certainly a bug in the ICS code that needs to be corrected.

My mistake. I shouldn't have mentioned my troubles. They masked the fact that I mentioned how to disable individual profiles by tapping the gear. You can uncheck audio there.

Yep. That works to correct the problematic issue of "it sounds funny when both are enabled", but it emphasizes the fact that there's an issue with the way that Samsung's ICS for the AT&T Note treats the Media audio profile whether it's active or not...
