My girlfriend has a Nexus 7 and I have a Hisense Sero 7 Pro. I have one bluetooth receiver in my car and another bluetooth headset. When either tablet is conencted to either bluetooth device, pressing the call button does nothing. I have tried autovoice with tasker with no luck. Is there anyway to get these tablets to recognize when the bluetooth button on the bluetooth devices is pressed? I notice in the menu in settings for each bluetooth device that there is only the option for "use for media audio" and not "use for call audio." If this is the reason is there anyway to modify jelly bean 4.2 to add the use for call audio option?
As an update, I do notice my Sero 7 Pro doing something in the taskbar when I press the button, and it is causing music playing in power amp to pause for a couple seconds, but nothing activates in the apps I have set to activate. It appears that the tasker icon appears and disappears when this happens, but the tasker profile I have set for this action does nothing, and when I try bluetooth launch app, nothing happens. Is no one able to get the bluetooth call button to work on their tablet?

I have a Sennheiser VMX 100 bluetooth headset and paired it to my htc dream. When the headset is already connected to my phone and a call comes in, it's automatically transferred to my headset, which is great. But when I try to make a call myself, I just can't get it transferred to my headset. I tried to press Menu during the call, and selecting bluetooth from the menu but that doesn't do anything.
Also, when a call comes in but my headset is not connected (phone has bluetooth turned on, though), and I turn on my headset, the phone won't connect to my headset until after the call has been finished.
Besides my HTC dream I also have a Nokia N95. My headset works without any problem on the nokia, I can even connect my headset in the middle of the conversation and it will automatically take over.
I'm not sure what features android has when it comes to bluetooth headsets, but I assume that outgoing calls and auto-connect during a call are implemented features. I'm running Android 1.6.
Does anyone else recognize these issues? Do these features work with other headsets?
Thanks,
Pepe
Try the following steps:
1. Menu > Settings > Wireless controls > Bluetooth Settings
2. Under Bluetooth devices select and hold your Sennheiser; 3 choices will show up (Disconnect, Disconnect & Unpair, Options)
3. Select Options
4. Connect (if unchecked)
5. Under Profiles make sure Phone (connected to phone audio) is checked
Let me know if this helps
Hi mate,
Thanks for the reply. I checked those settings and Phone audio is already checked. Unchecking and rechecking the box does not make a difference.
Thanks
What ROM are you running?
VMX 100 Issues
I'm having the same issue. I'm running CyanogenMod 4.2.9.1. I have several Plantronics that work flawlessly. Any ideas would be appreciated. I've tried power cycling both devices.
FWIW, I know many of you have a MW600 BT stereo, but I have the 980, which has the integrated headphones, no FM radio.
I have been struggling to get the unit to work with the bt on the prior releases of android on the X10, but 2.3.3 and PowerAmp has done the trick.
First it took me a while (and a read of the Android 2.3 manual) to figure out that if you long pressed the device name in the BT Settings, you would be able to see what profile options are available for each device. The default for my headset was Phone Audio and not the Media output. I wasn't getting any music or video sounds through my buds, this was easily corrected, now that I found the place to do so.
Second, my forward/back, start/stop worked sometimes, but not all the time. And the call button did the same thing as the start/stop button did. This made it impossible to initiate voice commands without using the screen. Voice command via BT is one of the most important functions when driving a car. Voice is much improved in 2.3.3, IMHO. Anyway, changing the Headset Options in PowerAmp to "Respond to Headset Buttons" appears to now let me fully control the music from the 980's dongle. It also seems to be able to distinguish from the microphone located button (which it shouldn't based on the manual and past experience) as the "Call" button. Pressing the Call button brings up the Google Voice Search App which now lets you do most everything with commands. Even the reject call function is functioning.
Third, the 980 can scroll and select via BT from your phonebook. This is fully functioning, as is the retrieval for the Call List. A popup notification for the enabling of the request was needed on the phone, with a option to 'always allow.' Once this was done the Caller ID's number (but not name) info also showed on the dongle.
Unfortunately, the 980 has two more functions which the BT stack in 2.3.3 standard still doesn't support. Display of the file name while playing music. This was enabled in ATT's version for the x10 in v1.6. The other item missing is the time from the display.
PowerAmp also has a BT priority bump option to smooth out playback when the phone is doing other things.
I was considering purchasing another BT headset or a car unit, now I can save my money for something else.
Hi everyone.
I have Atrix stock 2.3.4/4.5.2A rooted. My BT device is A2DP headset and when I accidentally press any button on it this starts the multimedia player.
Is it possible to disable BT buttons outside of call? I don't need to control multimedia from BT.
Thanks.
Never mind. Found myself.
For rooted devices use AutoStart application.
Group named: "Media button pressed".
... disable everything there...
Thanks for that.
I am using a Plantronics Voyager PRO+ bluetooth headset with my X10 mini pro, and I just discovered, that when a call comes in, and I press the Call Accept Button on the headset, the call gets canceled instead of accepted.
I already searched through the configuration menus, but there does not seem to be an option to select the function of that button. With my (non-Android) phones the button works as expected to accept an incoming call.
Is this a bug, a feature, or am I missing something?
I thought this was fixed in JB, but I guess not.
I've got my GS4 paired with both the car and my Jawbra headset. All works fine in either scenario, but occasionally I'm on a call using my car BT and want to switch to my headset, or visa verse. Isn't there a way to just click a button/option in phone and switch the device? Anyone found an App for that (I've been searching for hours).
I'm hoping that I'm just missing something, but I've been trying to Google and search these forums to no avail.
I can't try it but what can't you just press the headset button in the midcall menu?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That sounds like a great idea, I would love it if it worked that way. But the phone get's itself "paired and connected" to the car, and it is not connected to the Jawbone. The only thing I found to change it during the call is to turn off bluetooth, which forces a pickup on the handset. I suppoose I could try to turn BT back on, and get it to connect to the Jawbone, but that's no practical while driving and trying to pay attention to a phone conversation.
A simple pop-up with "connect to Jawbone" or "connect to car" would be nice during the call.
If you just want to you your headset to take calls and your car bt for audio, try deselecting "phone" in your bt device options on the phone.
Also I think this issue is more with the Samsung phone then with Android. My Nexus 4 was able to do just this and also allow me to take calls on my bt headset while my phone was plugged into the aux jack in my car.
