is there is any application that makes a bluetooth headset announce caller name???? please help
You might wanna try searching tasker posts. It's an automation app and from things I've seen so far there should be a method to do it.

try to go into: setting, display, notification pannel, and take the Driving Mode into the notification panel. Then active it, the phone will tell you who is calling you or who have sent the message, i think it work also with bluetooth headset.

This is a question I've had since owning the G1. Can we make it so that our incoming text messages get pushed through Bluetooth? I know the functionality is not there with the stock messaging app, but does there exist one that does? Or can one be programmed to do so?
This would be helpful to handful of people (like me) that have Microsoft Sync systems in their Ford/Lincoln/Mercury cars. Sync is able to read you your text messages while driving, and allows you to reply with your voice or call the sender, but only if the handset supports sending texts through Bluetooth.
I would imagine that since we have the latest version of BT, it could at least be programmed into a third-party messaging app, by someone with more knowledge than I. The only handsets to support this feature out of the box are some candybar Nokia and Motorola featurephones, so it wouldn't be too far fetched to get Android to support this.
Any thoughts?
This is the only thing i've been able to find that looks anything remotely close to what your asking for...

I believe I saw on the official Sync website that one of the Android phones was working with the text part of Sync. Posted by a Android user. You might look into that and see if it leads anyplace.

Try out the vlingo app in the market. It has something called Safe reader. It will read your sms out loud. When I'm driving and have my phone hooked up to my stereo, through bluetooth, it plays the message through my speakers. Not sure about standard bluetooth headsets but its worth a shot.
DriveSafe.ly will read your incoming messages to you via BlueTooth, and can be configured to autoreply, if you wish.
I looked through the syncmyride website and several people are reporting the Droid X works with the text messaging part of the Ford Sync system. Maybe there is hope for a direct connection. Although they also talk about Samsung phones in particular having issues with the Sync.
I'm trying to get this working as well. Stock EVO
Thanks for the suggestions of DriveSafe.ly and Vlingo. This is a great alternative, however in my case they would only work if I had the car stereo connected through Bluetooth (the Sync system allows you to do a Bluetooth media stream).
The issue, however, is that most of the time I have either my Zune or my Toshbia media player playing through a USB connection in the car. Say I get a phone call, Sync knows to pause the music in the USB connection, alert me to the phone call, talk on the phone through the car speakers, and then when the call is disconnected it will resume playing the music from the USB. Since the USB is selected and not the Bluetooth stream however, DriveSafe.ly and Vlingo won't automatically notify Sync of the text (it does work if I'm using the Bluetooth streaming option though, since Android is handling the streaming).
After rummaging through some posts, it seems that Syncs ability to communicate with your texts stems from a Bluetooth profile known as MAP (Messaging Access Profile), and while Bluetooth 2.0 and higher support this feature, only some handsets have that Bluetooth profile supported. How hard would it be to add a Bluetooth profile to the Android core through, say, a custom ROM? Or would the Kernel have to be modified?
Looking at the compatibility list it seems that the Motorola phones work with the text messaging system. All ( or most) of them, not just the Android phones. So it may be deeper than ripping the BT control scheme out.
But it would be great if someone could figure it out. I don't think many people care though, if you search here for Ford Sync you don't get many hits.
Blue control
search blue control on the marketplace or appbrain. this app allows sms to be played (and responded to) through a bluetooth headset!
Vibrant reads text out loud stock.
Settings>Voice Input and Output>Text-To-Speech Settings> Check Driving Mode...though..be warned. This will read ALL incoming texts out loud, and when you get a call, it will say Call from (caller or number if it's not in your contacts)
Don't have a BT headset..well I do..just can't find the charger. lol, so can't test it. And I'm not rich enough to have a BT enabled car.

In the app description, it says it does not work with in-car bluetooth "at this time". So we can keep our fingers crossed.

I have found, that to get messages read to me and be able to reply, I had to install a custom rom (CyanogenMod 9-20120710-nightly), it works great! I hope this helps.
Does anyone know how to get rid of the Audio Applications Notification when you plug in headphones? It just gets in the way and takes up valuable space.
I am also wondering this, about to go on a 4 hour bus ride with my headphones in but the vibration on this phone is too weak so I would miss notifications and don't want to disturb the other passengers

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...
I was wondering if there is a way to adjust the bluetooth sensitivity on the rezound. The problem I am having is that callers claim they hear everything, I am crystal clear but they can hear all my movements and the big problem is that if I am using while a game is on, music, etc, even when I lower than my normal usage volume they say my tv is way too loud. I have looked through all the settings and unless I am blind I have not found a native option, is there maybe an app? I know the issue isn't the phone, it is the bluetooth because I had the same issue using it on my ps3 but the ps3 has sensitivity options in the mic settings so it was an easy fix.
Thanks for any help

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

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.
