I recently acquired a Tablet running Android 4.1.2.
I am new to android and had some issues which I have now managed to resolve, but there are still 2 issues outstanding which I cannot seem to find an answer to.
I have contacted the supplier who are most unhelpful (re-install the firmware is their attitude) and I have tried various forums with no responses, so I am hoping someone here can help.
The two issues are:
- The default Text To Speech engine in the system is Pico. I installed 2 others in an effort to find an improvement, and although these show up in the Settings, whenever I tap one to set as default, the system ignores the request and stays set with Pico.
- I have a problem with microphone input when I use my A2DP bluetooth headset. It plays sound OK, but will not register input from the mic. I know the mic works and in the Tablet Bluetooth settings both Media and Phone Audio are selected.
Please...Please... can anyone point me in the direction of some answers to these issues.
TIA.

Hi there,
I have CM7 installed, and I use an OEM car dock, but the audio out doesn't work from the dock. It just plays through the phone's speaker.
Also the Audio settings in the dock settings on the phone is greyed out.
I understand that this is a common issue with the SG2, and there is an app called Galaxy Sound Redirector that sorts this out, but it doesn't work with CM7.
Does anyone know of a kernel that works with CM7 and Sound Redirector? Or of any other way around this issue?
I don't need calls to work, just other phone audio (for the music in the car - I have BT for the calls)
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've spent hours searching!!
Thx,
Trip
I think you want to read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1531483
Thanks, seen that, but only lists 1 kernel and doesn't say whether compatible with cm7...?
It also lists entire ROMs, one of which is CM7, which is listed as having support [N] None.
Yes you are right, as a standalone ROM it doesn't support it, but certain kernels do.. If you check the actual app, the developer even mentions it (I should have mentioned that!)
Having problems with the speech feature with my car's bluetooth.
My 920 pairs fine with my car's bluetooth, and I can receive calls fine.
However, the speech feature where it reads incoming text messages is not working. Under Settings > Speech, I've got all the checkboxes checked, and I've tried everything from "Always On" to "Bluetooth and headsets" but nothing works. I receive a text, my phone plays the notification sound, and then nothing.
With my previous WP7.5 device (HTC HD7), this feature worked flawlessly with my car and other bluetooth headsets. Unfortunately I got rid of my headset so I can't test it with my 920.
Interestingly, I once made a call, and while it was still ringing, I got an incoming text message and bam - my phone spoke over the active bluetooth session and prompted me whether I wanted the message read aloud. The call went through and the phone was unable to pickup any commands.
Also, starting a voice command, while my phone is actively paired with my car, the phone can no longer "hear" my voice commands. Like it thinks it initiated the bluetooth session, but in reality it hasn't.
Anyone else having similar problems, or better yet, a solution??
I can only think of something to try out to get a little more information on the scope of the problem.
You could turn it to always on and try sending a text message to the phone while it is not connected via Bluetooth (e.g. at home while having the device on the table) and check wether it works then. If so, then it seems the problem is with the compatibility of the phone and the car's bluetooth.
Hi StevieBallz - gave that a shot and yes, that works. It seems there are some other people with this issue reported on various other sites. Which is a real bummer.
Played around with it some more, and it definitely seems like the phone thinks it has initiated the bluetooth "call" and is reading out commands to nowhere, and unable to hear commands as well.
I would say this is a bug and not mere incompatibility issue. If they had it working fine on WP7.5, there's no reason they couldn't implement it the same way
Given that they are now using the Windows 8 Bluetooth Stack instead of what was there in Windows CE I would say there are several reasons why it's implemented differently but that's not really the point. If there are other people with incompatibility issues that might lead to a fix down the road. The more interesting question though would be if there are Bluetooth pairings where this works with the 920, because if it doesn't work with any Bluetooth devices I guess that would get fixed pretty soon.
I fear I can't give you any more advice than to contact support on your issue so that they get aware of the situation (because I guess Nokia won't be scouting forums for all kinds of possible bugs). I hope they will fix the functionality for you soon.
PS: I can't count the number of times I've seen issues with Bluetooth. No matter what devices I use, Bluetooth still seems very hit and miss Working with the BMW Bluetooth but only partially but working fine in an Audi. Sometimes only with Blackberry, etc. One would believe if there is a standard they would get all this sorted out someday but somehow they don't.

It works on my car ('10 nissan). It works on some cars/bluetooth stacks, and not others. This, by definition, is a compatibility issue. Now, why this stack fails against other stacks, when the CE stack worked, is a good question.
Hi guys, first post here on the forums. I have a question/request for something that bugs the hell out of me.
I own one of the iBolt car docks for my s3 4g; it's great and works well (provided I uses a custom kernel like Perseus), my issue is that although the custom kernels can properly detect the dock and route media audio through the aux out, none of them seem to be able to route my call audio through the aux-out and still have the microphone working.
I'm currently using Ripper Rom V9 with the perseus kernel, when I go to place a call it automatically puts the phone on 'speakerphone' and still detects my voice through the inbuilt microphone but I would much prefer for it to come through the aux-out, is this possible with modification of the kernel? This would be very useful for many people I would imagine, it is very hard to hear the other persons voice through speakerphone while my phone is docked up on the dash and I'm driving along. I read somewhere that samsung by default don't allow such configuration, I think it may have been on an audio-redirector app but it only redirected system and media audio.
Any information would be greatly appreciated :good:

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.

Hey all,
Need some help with this, getting quite frustrated:
I have an international S III (i9300) and whatever rom I use I have the exact same problem that seems to be related to bluetooth.
- First use it connects to my caraudio (pioneer deh-4400bt) and it works great, good sound etc.
- Than I start Sygic (navigation) on the Phone, which I set in the "Always use internal speaker mode", so it doesnt use BT
Now two things happen:
- In sygic the sound through the internal speaker is very soft
- When I try calling with the carkit it does connect and make the call, but I hear a terrible garbled sound and i don't hear the other side
When I turn off bluetooth and than start Sygic... sound is perfectly loud
I have tried several roms, lastly thinking the issue might be solved with 4.2.2 but still the same
Is bluetooth hardware or software, and, when software, is it kernel or modem related?
Anybody know what causes this problem and how to solve it?
