I got a pair of LG HBS-730 to input voice commands to my SG-N7100, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm on a stock CM10.1 and grab the input from Autovoice (a nifty Tasker plugin).
Depending on whether I activate Phone, Media or both in the Bluetooth settings of the headset, the input is either solely grabbed from the phone's microphone or is ignored.
I tried BTMono, BT Launch and a few other apps that claim to help with this, but it seems to be Android related. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=38566
I also tried disabling/renaming VoiceDialer.apk, but it only helps with the headset button presses not with the microphone issue.
Any tips are most welcome. I'll try anything at this point (including dabbling with Java and Android Intents).
Thanks in advance!
I have a similar issue. I can't get my phone to wake at all on a bluetooth press. If I am logged in and i press the bluetooth button it will then bring up my default options for voice control and any one I choose it will respond to voice. I tried BT Launch and it works well to wake up the phone but then I run into the same problem as you, which is the voice app will not respond to the voice prompts. Have you had any luck? It should not be this difficult to use a droid via bluetooth hands free.

So I feel like this should be something pretty simple. I'm trying to use voice command with the bluetooth in a VW, but when I activiate bluetooth in the car it dosen't automatically allow for voice commands. Can still use the phone, but it would be nice to be able to use voice command without having to log into the phone. I've tried turning on driving mode and that doesnt' seem to work.
Any advice?
i dont think you can activate the 'voice commands' option from the VW bluetooth. I have a VW Golf and I can only make and receive calls from the car's BT system. If I want access to anything else, I need to use the phone itself.
Yeah, that's exactly the issue I'm having. Would think that you could also use voice commands. It worked fine with the iphone, but doesn't seem to like the galaxy for whatever reason.
While you can still use the VW's built in voice commands (to dial numbers, etc.), I don't believe you can use the car's mic/speaker for the phone's voice command functionality. Since it's just an app, it can't integrate into the car's systems. You can however stream music to the car's audio system via bluetooth.
Does your VW stereo have a button that you push to initiate the voice command application? I had this problem on my Subaru as well. It wasn't launching the application that listens for voice commands when pressing the button. I installed an app called Choice Dialer (Which is actually now Hands-Free Voice Dialer) and it started working.
I'd give this a try and report back if it works.
Thanks for the responses. It actually ended up being something pretty stupid. Pretty sure it's still using the built-in BT, but it takes care of what I was trying to solve.
For whatever reason the first time it requested access to my address book ti apparently didn't work. If someone else has the problem what you need to do is make sure your phone and bluetooth are connected. While connected, open your notification screen, it will probably say there are no att notification, hit that, then it will show a request by your VW bluetooth to your address book. Accept it and now you can use the 'call whoever on mobile' functionality.
Glad you got it figured out. Having half-*** handsfree is a big step backwards after being able to throw voice commands out.
Hi guys. So although I appreciate that google have added support for wired headsets into jellybean, unfortunately it doesn't behave the way I want it to. On my old Thunderbolt I installed headset controller and it worked great. Now what happens is when using headset control I get the function of BOTH the apply and the built in android operation.
When I single click the button it pauses my music and plays it, but the problem is with the rest of the features.
When I double click headset controller skips to the next track but Android starts a redial on my last called number ! Also when I hold down the button I want my volume controlled but Google Now gets activated.
Is there any way I can reassign these commands to do what I want and ignore the standard android commands ? I am rooted with a deodexed and debloated rom and cubed kernel in case that helps.
Thanks
Hey everyone, I've recently started using the HTC One but I don't really know what's going on with the controls on the headset that comes with the phone. There is only one button. One click is for play/pause, but double click redials my last call, instead of going to the next track. I've tried apps like headset button controller and it doesn't seem to be able to recognize my button clicks. Have any of you had this problem and what do you recommend I do?
yeah see here, It's the stock musicplayer that has the issue. Headset Drloid and another music app like Google Music were my solution

same problem here, i did what you mention, however, nothing happens, keeps calling the last person.
Holding the button for 1+ sec changes the track for me... But I have to be careful cause holding it too long brings up voice commands
HTC headset button - I can't get them to work properly
Hi everyone!
I was looking all over to find a way to use the remote controls of my Sennheiser and Urbanears Headsets with my HTC one for Music controls and calls reliably. However, I can't seem to get it to work and was hoping that someone here could help me out.
I really highly appreciate your help and I am willing to donate 10 USD for a working solution!
Phone: HTC One
Android Version: 4.2.2
HTC Sense Version: 5.0
Software: Android Revolution HD 12.1
HTC SDK API Level: 5.34
Kernel: 3.4.10-gd6147e
Music App: Grooveshark
I was trying everything I could find on the Internet to fix the Headset button behaviour. Two apps from the Google Play Store did better than the rest: Headset Button Controller and Philips Headset. However, none of them was able to interpret Headset button requests reliably. The apps would only react in about 5 % of the time to multiple clicks (Next track, Previous track, volume control etc). The authors of the app said, that my Custom ROM is probably the reason it is not working. Can that be true?
Does anyone know a reliable solution to use the Headset for Music controls or to be able to use it realiably with third Party apps such als Headset Button Controller? The intermediary solution I found was to interchange the key assignment of keys 163 and 226 - now I can at least Change to next track by click of a button, but thats it - no other functions with multiple clicks.
For sure the clicks on the button are registered by the phone - because I can see that it reacts, but for whatever reason only a limited number is actually interpreted by third Party apps.

Thanks,
best regards,

If your phone is rooted you can try HeadsetMod from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2423160.
EDIT : Didnt notice that you are using grooveshark app. Not sure if it works with that. Its tested only with the default music app.
I picked up an HBS-730. It sounds good, the Call button works fine for picking up a call or last number redial (by two short presses of Call) but when I long press it I don't get the voice dialer (or any other voice app).
Is there a file in System that I need to edit or run? I do have the LG and Google voice components installed. I've also tried unpairing and repairing the headset.
On a long press I end up with a roughly half second "beep" in the headset.
Alternately, anyone know of an app that captures a BT Call longpress, that you can then assign an app to?
(It sounds like trapping a longpress is something done in a .jar file, not a case of just touching the .kl files)
Thanks!
Hmmm....
Check your BT volume.
Volume is fine on calls, and playing music.
Headset Mic also works fine on calls and for voice commands if I manually launch voice dialer or Google search.
It just seems that a long press of the Call button isn't properly launching voice dialer, that's why I'm looking for an apk or a setting to edit.

The LG voice dialer is bland, try this. I know it works.

I tried the VoiceCommand app from Play Store, unfortunately same problem. I don't get a voice ommand prompt, on either a single short press or a long press of the Call button on my BT headset.
A single short press does work to connect an incoming call, or disconnect, any a double short press does activate last number redial, so I believe my headset is overall working okay, but I am not hooking a voice command app at all. On a single short press nothing happens, and on a longpress I get a beep, but that is all.
Headset volume works fine, the mic works fine (if I manually launch VoiceCommand, whether the LG app or Google, it picks up fine), just that my phone isn't linking the Call button to launch any VoiceCommand app, on either a single press or a long press.
I disabled the lg voice command and use Google and it works for me

Did you ever get to the bottom of this as I am having the same issue. On my Xperia Z2 I can choose what I want to activate when I press the call button on my car kit but on the G3 it mutes my radio but never brings anything up on the phone.
I have also tested it with a different bluetooth kit and it still doesn't do anything so it is definitely a phone issue.
I froze some files and maybe froze something I shouldn't have, but factory resets are not doing any good for me as they seem to only partially reset my phone (Frozen apps still do not appear even after factory resetting and also flashing a totally new firmware!)
My G3 will not allow me to Voicedial and I was hoping someone with an operative G3 on their car kit could download a program called Clear Defaults or Default App Manager Lite and advise me what program they have as Default for Voice Dialing (I am not too sure what the heading is exactly as my G3 doesn't show it at all)
Clear Defaults

Default App Manager
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appiator.defaultappmanager&hl=en
I am trying to get troubleshoot this issue instead of returning it as I bought mine from eBay.
Is there actually someone who has the voice-dialing in his G3 working? I'm waiting also for a solution.
Voice dialing with Google works fine on the phone for me. Via Bluetooth in my car is also fine. nothing in default apps mentions voice dialing.
Oooooo, the voice dialer in the phone.... mine does not work either.
Does there happen anything when long-pressing the button in your car/on your Bluetooth headset?
Long pressing the button does nothing in the car or not.
Hi,
I have recently bought a BT headset for my motorcycle (Can't post links...it's called boblov intercom on amazon...1st result ).
What it does is, as expected, plays/pauses music if I press the button on the headset. If I longpress the button, it calls the last dialed number (who ever uses this...). I would like longpress to open google now (="OK Google") and start listening to me instead so I could control my phone with voice while riding.
I've made some bluetooth logs and ran then through one of the random log analysers I found online.
My question is...is it possible to modify the command the phone receives from the headset (most apps i tried only deal with the short-press actions...and this action seems hardcoded into the headset).
I have attached a screenshot of the translated log.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Up !
Do you find any solutions ?
Having the exact same idea, hoping you got something !
