Hello! I have a few strange questions for you all, and I"m guessing that this isn't really possible, but, here goes..
I have a car that has built-in bluetooth, so I connect my Atrix to it via that for phone calls. Is there a way to force the sound output through something other than bluetooth, ie USB or the audio cable? The downside to having the phone connected via bluetooth is that I cannot hear the navigation voice in Google Maps if I'm not in bluetooth audio mode on the car (or if I have the usb cable connected to the stereo to listen to music). Thanks!
If you have a car dock...it will output the sound from the calls via bluetooth and the navigation through the dock sound connector. But you still have to have the sound go somewhere. I normally use my phone for all audio experiences...radio...music...etc...and the navigation will chime in when it's time for it to.
Thanks for the reply! Only downside is if I plug my phone into the USB port in the car, it'll play music but won't play the nav over the speakers for some reason. I have controls on my steering wheel that I want to use, but I might just have to make do with looking at the screen without the audio. :\
the latest version of Google maps got rid of navigation volume and uses media volume. I restored an earlier version.

I have my SGS2 linked to a Pioneer DEH-P75BT car audio player.
The phone links to P75BT via bluetooth, and when I make or receive a call I hear the sound through my cars speakers.
If I use Navigation I don't hear any turn by turn navigation instructions, either through the phones external speaker, or the car speakers.
If I turn off bluetooth, then I start hearing the turn by turn instructions through the phones external speaker, which is what I want. How do I make the Navigation software audible through the phones speaker whilst the phone is still connected via bluetooth to the P75BT?
I'm actually thinking of getting a replacement audio system for the car, because the P75BT only lets me re-connect the phone if it's discoverable. I shouldn't need to keep doing that once they've paired.
Also I thought maybe a newer bluetooth car audio system might not suffer from the first problem I described.
So I have the following question:
I just bought a new car with full bluetooth integration. It works great! I was wondering if I could do the following:
Have the phone synced with the car, but have the navigation sounds still play over the phone speakers.
Would this be possible to do with a hack? Are there third party programs that allow this? From what I found this isn't possible to do in base android.
The navigation does play great through the car speakers if I have the bluetooth audio stream selected as my audio input on the stereo. The problem is that if I don't have that selected, or I'm on a call, it doesn't play anything.
Thanks in advance!
I use bluetooth in my car to enable me to take / make phone calls. I also use apps such as Google Maps Navigation whilst in the car. In my current car with the bluetooth connected all phone audio is routed through the car. However, it does not cut out radio (unless it is a phone call) and I have to select a different input source.
If I am listening to music from the phone over bluetooth, I hear the voice guidance as I have the correct source selected in the car. However, normally when I am driving, I listen to the radio and so miss the voice guidance of Maps Navigation as I do not have the phone set as the audio source. Is it possible to prevent Google Maps using the bluetooth connection and routing the audio through the phone speakers instead?
Phone: Nexus One running CM7 nightly 94.
Thanks

First off I have this mount. My Rezound is Stock. I can stream music through a cable but not voice calls. I cannot get the Bluetooth to work while it is in the dock. I can tell it to send it to BT but no sound comes through. I would really like to get Voice to come through my car speakers but I can't find any settings.
You said you've tried headphone jack plugged into car stereo via cable? Works fine for me using the same dock , stock and rommed, both before and after i uninstalled the dock program that was annoying. Has on all 3 of my android phones, usually with no dock. Have music or podcasts going, call comes in, shoots right through stereo. Bluetooth may be funky depending on how its setup with the car, stereo, or other device.
If a cable is not working, i'm baffled. Your stereo would need to be set to the "aux" input of coarse, and the cable plugged into to stereo/phone.
But how about the BT setup, what are you using for that?
That dock should have no impact on your BT connection. When you connect to your BT device, go into Settings, Wireless & Networks, Bluetooth Settings, find your device down at the bottom you're connecting to, hard press on it and select Options..., make sure both phone and media are checked under Profiles.
Yeah, for Bluetooth music streaming in my car I also had to tell my car to connect portable music player. Then I got the music working through my stereo in addition to the phone calls.

Do you know of any application that manages your bluetooth connections?
Here's what I'm talking about, I have bluetooth headphones, several speakers and my car that all are connected to my phone and I'm having several small issues.
- As soon as I turn on bluetooth it tries to automatically tries to connect to these certain speakers, I don't want that and don't know how to stop it.
- If I'm in my car, my phone connected to my car for calls and I'm listening to music through the headphone jack but it will automatically connect to a set of bluetooth speakers in my home when get home and pull into the driveway. So music will play through those speakers instead of my headphone jack. I obviously don't want that either.
-Titanium Backup never restores my bluetooth connection either so if there is an application that can save those too that would be helpful.
Nothing? Any idea if I have to just deal with these issues?
