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...

Why would he get more play in the skyrocket forums when he is specifically asking about the i777?

Gah. you are correct, I misread the post as asking how to get the features he was looking for on skyrocket, rather than what i777 has.
My apologies to the OP, you are in the right place.

Sorry about the confusion guys- to clarify I meant that I currently have the skyrocket and am thinking about switching to the sgs2 if the battery life is better and it supports bluetooth headset initiated voice dialing.
Thanks for the replies so far! Anyone else used any other BT headset other than the moto others have already mentioned?
I currently use a Sony HBH-DS980 and don't have any issues with Bluetooth Voice Dialing.

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.

I just hit the button on the back of Bluetooth and then say hello galaxy and it wakes up. it even turns on the voice talk for me. i don't touch the phone. Yes when screen is black. I use it in my backpack while riding my mountain bike.

It doesn't do that on miui.
I use a Motorola s305 and voice dial works fine. I didn't install any extra programs. Just hit the button on my headset and it worked. IIRC stock was that way to, but its been so long since I've run stock ...

Quick question, I've had a search of the forums and not found anything which answers it. So apologies if there is an answer out there which I have missed!
When my phone is connected to bluetooth, all of my notifications are sent to the car speakers.
This is great when I'm listening to music streamed from the phone. But if I've got the phone connected to bluetooth on the chance of incoming calls, but listening to MP3 or FM, then any incoming SMS messages or emails are notified via the car bluetooth headset.
Is there any way to tell the phone to notify both on the handset AND the car when connected to bluetooth???
Thanks in advance.

What version of Android are you running? Is your phone rooted?
Cheers!

You must remember that CM9 is in alpha and does not have all the functionality you need. Have you tried any other ICS builds to see if the problem exists there?
Right now, the Sammy ICS ROM's such as Resurrection 9.2 are pretty stable. CM9 has been set back by the availability of drivers.
Cheers!
I'm certain it's not a ROM based issue. I know CM9 is Alpha. Previously I was running MoDaCo Custom Rom on GB.
I think it's the way that all audio is sent to Bluetooth. Hence asking if there is a way around it, via a script or app?

Try a stock ROM.
AOSP ROMs use a different bluetooth stack than stock Samsung ROMs. This is also why most bluetooth controller apps didn't work on stock Samsung ROMs until Dancing Pixel updated the SixAxis app (around October, I think?) with a workaround.
Edit to add: or a stock BASED ROM. If you like AOSP look and feel, with some essential stock bits, check out GingerMod.
Thanks for the reply.
I think it's an inherent issue with all handsets and ROMs. I have a friend using stock, and he still has the same issue.
I guess my post was to understand if there was any way around it (via a hack or app). For instance, my Blackberry alerts on the device itself, but calls and music go through the car headset.
Hello,
We have an Audi Q7 with Samsung Galaxy S3 problem.
Bluetooth connects,
Outgoing calls are OK
Incoming calls are OK when I pick up the phone with touch screen it works too
But when I pick up phone with buttons of car, FM Radio keeps on playing, if this happens and I click on Disable/Enable headset on touchscreen of phone it works.
Any ideas how to fix? I have already tried installing Criskelo rom, and all updates but that doesn't help. (I must say it worked once!) after upgrading to Criskelo. But since then, it never worked again. Stock rom wasnt good too.
I hope someone can help me out.
Regards,
HD Services
The easiest fix I can think of is probably to swap cars with me? Just a straight swap

I have the same problem, would love to find a solution! Also, very often I can't hear any audio (phone or media) though the bluetooth even though it is properly connected. I have to turn the bluetooth device on and off, and after a few tries it starts working again...

Hi, I have the same issue. Handsfree was working fine in 4.1.2, upgraded to CM 10.1 (4.2.2) and I hear no sound, nor does the other side of the call hear me. I then switched to AOKP(4.2.2), but still the same issue continues.

Somebody gave me a solution when I posted this on another forum (unfortunately XDA doesn't allow me to post the link but here is the solution):
In your apps manager wipe the cache/data for bluetooth share!
That worked for me to solve the audio issue, but voice dialling still hangs.
Bluetooth Voice Dial
I have same problem. Bluetooth works fine with headset, car kit and motorcycle headset until i try the "press button to voice dial" on whatever headset is connected.
I am running SlimBean v4.3 stable version on SGS2 GT-i9100
I am unable to ask devs direct as i cannot post in dev forum on the ROM.
Stumped and really want to get solved. Have tried using Google Now, SVoice, and !Utter but none seem to work. Voice dial on all including voice dialler app work fine when used with no bluetooth but when i press the magic button, voice dialler pops up and freezes.

hi all,
after updating to official ROM 4.2.2 on my samsung Tab2.7.0 i'm facing problem with connecting my BT headset (plantronics m55). BT connects but i hear strange static or distorted sounds on the both ends (ie. caller and receiver) this issue is only for phone calls.
But headset works fine for VOIP calls, Skype and listening to music and voice guided navigation.

Seems more like a problem with your carrier. Can you hear this sound without the BT also? even faintly.

Are you only using skype and VIOP on wifi?
Could be the way your device handles carrier signals, in such a way it interferes with the bluetooth signals.

thanks for the reply... i had been using the stock based rom and was working fine... now again i switched to it(sungsonic hd anniversary edition)...
it is working fine with it.. but out of eagerness i am expecting some solution for it in kitkat custom roms, because they are slimmer and faster... anyhow thanks
looks like this problem started with the official jb update and continues with the M builds for tab 2 series.
