Is there a way to make microphone work at arbitrary times (regardless what application is currently running) and output the sound through bluetooth car speakers or headphones?
For example, my daughter is studying foreign language using Anki flashcard program on the back seat of the car. While Anki's questions go through car's speakers, I can barely hear her answers to understand if she is doing it correctly. It would be great to route her answers via phone's microphone to car's speakers as well. Is it possible?
Another example: I am studying a foreign language with headphones (that has a builtin microphone) in a noisy environment using Anki. While I can hear well Anki's questions through the headphones, I cannot hear well myself due to the noise. Routing my answers via headphone's microphone to headphone's speakers would be extremely useful as well.
Notice, that in this case the application itself does not provide a way to talk into a microphone. Is there an application-independent way of doing it? Can something like SoundAbout or AlsaMixer do it?

Works well with headphones with builtin microphone, although there is some noise present (for example, from breathing), it would be nice to suppress it.
Works with car's bluetooth, however, the microphone must be turned off immediately after saying something, otherwise, things will be infinitely repeated (since the microphone would pick up its delayed playback on bluetooth speakers). As a result, one must have to constantly switch between applications. Neither microphone, no Anki seem to work out of the box with S4 multiwindow, as far as I understood, to keep them both on screen at the same time so that the microphone could be easily turned on/off without having to close Anki. Is there a way to temporary configure, for example, volume-up/down or power button to toggle microphone state while running Anki?

Did some searching, and didn't find an answer/solution to my problem: Every time I connect my Bluetooth headset to my phone, it enables Media Audio, even though I repeatedly disable it in the settings. Has anyone found a way to permanently disable Media Audio? I don't want anything but phone calls routed to the headset. As a matter of fact, when it's connected (and Media Audio is enabled) all notifications and ringtones are routed to the headset, so if I'm not wearing the headset (and I'm not right next to my phone) I don't hear it ring. Once Media Audio is disabled, it rings from the phone.
I use the "Autostarts" app. You should be able to disable that using it.

that's weird. Even if I have media going through the BT, the phone rings/notifications come through both the phone speaker and the headset.

If you have it, can you tell me if it's possible to disable it using the app? Even though it's only $1.50 for the app, I'm not keen on spending the money for it, if it won't fix my problem.

Mine behaved normally up until recently. Now, Media Audio must be unchecked for rings and notifications to sound from the handset.

Nope. I even installed Autostarts (as previously suggested) and have had no luck in changing the behavior.
My Galaxy S3 connects to my car's Bluetooth and allows me to make and receive calls. However, notification sounds are not playing via Bluetooth. It seems that the phone is sending the sounds to bluetooth but the car system doesn't play them. The result is that I have no audible indication when I receive a message when my phone is connected to my car's Bluetooth system.
Similarly, if I try to use S-Voice it would seem that the phone is expecting sound input via bluetooth and not from the phone's built in microphone, which means it does not detect any sound. Audio output also does not play on the phone or via bluetooth.
Presumably my car's bluetooth does not support receiving such sounds - only supporting basic phone functions. I cannot find any configuration settings on the car system to enable it.
Is there any way of stopping my phone trying to send notification sounds to bluetooth and to just play these via the phone's speaker but still allowing the phone to be connected to bluetooth for making and receiving calls? Similarly can I force S-Voice to use the phone's microphone and speaker if it cannot be made to work with my car's bluetooth?
S Voice on AT&T Galaxy Note Bluetooth In Car
First off, I am having the same issue, I tried even holding down talk / voice command button on steering wheel, No luck. I have a 2012 Kia Optima GLI full Nav and Voice command options. I have my Note working nicely with Team Perfection ICS R2, S Voice is fully functional except:
When using S voice in car connected to car Bluetooth (pushing search button on bottom of phone face) it tries to accept audio input from car Mic over Bluetooth, but never receives input. Can't find any setting in S voice app to change input setting from car to phone mic. Not sure why the car mic doesn't work other than just not supported by the s voice app? Anyone out there know of a fix or work around?
s voice does not work over any bluetooth
I have tried this on multiple Bluetooth devices. It does't hear anything and it responds with a very feint. Robotic distorted voice. Music plays well on Bluetooth but I have had problems with phone calls.so maybe the problem is the Bluetooth stack rather than s-voice.
I am having the same problem with SGS3. When I was testing s-voice on SGS2 you could set s-voice to use SGS speaker and mic for voice commands and notifications. Now I can't find that toggle.
BT Devices , yes....Car BT, No
It works fine on my headsets. IT doesn't work in my car.
spanout has nailed the problem. It apparently does NOT use the mic in the phone when hooked to BT. The car is not designed to pass voice to the BT. The car BTs typically have their own voice control, and as such is handling the voice itself.
When you think about it, it makes sense. Less chance for outside noise if it takes the input from the mic on your BT device, as likely the phone will not be close to your mouth.
The only way we'll get it to work is to find a way to enable the mic on the phone when on BT. Probably would need help from the DEVs here on that.
im in the same boat!
the real kicker is SIRI can send her voice over the car speakers and utilize the car mic.
so logic says, its purely a BT setting on the software ice cream and s3.
any apps for that? or any dev's want to chime in?
im using a very simple bmw bluetooth (not idrive).
it cant stream music, so i dont know how the fak siri can send her voice over it.
I have this problem with my SGS3, and had it with the SGS2 in my Ford S-Max. The problem is Ford's. Using the phone with a parrot car kit has all notifications fired over bluetooth.

so switching the s-voice and nav to MONO works with bluetooth, but the a2dp or whatever protocol it uses normally doesnt work.
however calls are done using a2dp, so wtf?
can someone make a quick app that just forces ONLY s-voice and NAV in to mono?
the apps out there make everything go mono or nothing at all...sucks for voice call quality
I needed to revive this thread as a search for my problem led me to it.
1) Is anyone able to play a video on the S3 (GT-I9300 4.1.2) and stream the sound from the video to the car while connected via Bluetooth?
I am not.
2) S3 notification sounds do not play via the car's speakers when receiving a text message or email etc.
I can make and receive calls just fine and even play music from the S3 via BT by selecting the phone from the list of devices on the car's screen.
Blutooth / Voice App Issue - SOLVED
First of all this does work on my 2009 Highlander, but it's a bit Kuldgy.
BT Mono allows my voice app to work, but by itself it's not a solution. You have to activate it manually before using S-Voice, Google Voice or AVX. It opens the connection and has to be activated each time or it can be set to reconnect automatically…. Killing my radio.
Download the free version (I can’t access the play store to give you the link) and see if it works manually. If it works for your test then the rest should work as well.
Install Tasker:
Create a task to keep the screen from locking when your state is Bluetooth connected to the car device.
Create a Task (you don’t need it in a profile)
- Set bluetooth on (in case it’s off)
- Load BT mono (with auto on enabled in the BT mono app)
- Wait ~400MS
- Load App AVX (or S-Voice, or whatever)
- Wait 9 seconds
- Kill BT mono
- Kill BT mono root (it wasn’t always killing BT mono)
I’ve been thinking about trying to simply reboot the BT (BT off then wait then BT on) rather than kill an app.
You can add the task to your home screen as a widget…. Still not safe to do while driving.
That’s where GMD Gestures comes in. You set a swipe command, I use 2 fingers down, to launch the task.
Seems to work pretty well. I can keep my eyes on the road and still use voice commends. You do need to hang up the phone when you’re done talking, but I had to do that with Siri.
I still wish there was a force mono on all connections app, but I still haven’t seen one. AVX just added the ability to force mono for speech, it’s worked for other people, but I’m still trying to figure out why it doesn’t work for me (he's had reports that the Note 2 doesn't like his solution, Kudos to him for trying to add this).
Hope this helps
****UPDATE****
BT Mono may work for me because I'm rooted. According to the app on the store (pro version) Apparently Samsung, in an effort to prevent call recording, blocks the ability to re-route the microphone.
I have the A100 HTC Car StereoClip for streaming audio to my car stereo, but only the bluetooth profile is for "Media audio."
The device works great for streaming audio - it sounds just as good as a wired connection - but, it will not work for phone calls. When a call comes in, the "media audio" stops/pauses, then the call comes through the phone's speaker. With a wired connection using the physical headphone jack, the call will go through the car stereo and use the phone's microphone.
Is it possible to force a different profile for the A100 to do the same thing as the wired connection?

Not yet. I haven't found any app or utility that will make the A100 work like a corded link for phone calls.
I am hoping the answer lies in the /system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf file. I haven't really looked into it because root is needed to test anything there. I plan to resume looking into this once s-off is achieved.
any solutions as of yet????

Nothing as of yet. However, the answer is not in the audio.conf file.
Can anyone tell me where the system detects the headphone jack is inserted and then redirects the audio?
Go to the bluetooth settings for your device, you will see two different options "Phone Audio" and "Media Audio". If you only see "Media Audio" your A100 does not support the required bluetooth prodiles to handle phone calls.
These are two separate bluetooth audio profiles, HFP for phone and AVRCP/A2DP for media.
When a phone call comes in, the phone pauses the AVRCP connection for the duration of the phone call, and HFP comes on to handle the call.
This is the device I used for bluetooth media/phone calls in my older model car, nothing spectacular about it but it works decently for being a $40 unit.
Connects via wire/RCA jacks to aux port and needs to be hardwired into power though.

Reading around ive abandoned the idea of finding a way to get this working on a2dp devices. Its just so stupid. All I want is to route the audio through the speakers, the microphone in the one x is close enough to pick up my voice. This is what I used to have when I hard wired the audio to my stereo in my car, and now with blutooth I can't.

Exactly. I haven't given up yet, but I agree that information on this is few and far between. Most info seems to be focused on redirecting all audio to mono SDP. With root, it should be possible somehow by re-routing the audio. I'm even ok if the music gets blended with phone audio - it might be annoying, but not nearly as frustrating as not getting phone audio via A2DP.

Unfortunately, even SoundAbout can't force the phone audio over AD2P-only devices. I talked (well, emailed) with the author about it last December. He was very receptive to input and he even tried a couple things, but no joy.
This solution requires root and knowledge beyond me. Or, I need to buy an adapter that supports AD2P and SCO and has a microphone.
Ok with any other phone I have owned in the past I have been able to plug it in my aux jack in my car to stream music but use my BT to make/take calls. The music would pause during the call and when the call ended it would resume playing through the headphone jack.
The S4 refuses to do this, it is extremely a special kind of retarded.
I have researched CSC feature.xml and others/xml codes and build.prop
What is needed to make this work?
I dont want to use LINK as I feel it is just another layer added to what is not needed. I just want it to work like the GNex, N4, DX, Dinc, D1, D2, Charge, and all the other android phones I have owned in the past running both stock (rooted/unrooted) and CM based roms.
Anybody have an idea on what is needed?
What exactly is it refusing to do? Pause when you get a call? What music player (the player must respect the media intents to pause/mute and that has nothing to do with the phone/ROM in that respect).
If something is plugged into the headphone jack and I have a bluetooth device paired and on. When a call comes in it goes through the headphone jack and through bluetooth. If I unplug the cable from the headphone jack then it allows me to use bluetooth to take our talk on the call.
This is the only phone I have owned that does not allow me to pay music through the headphone jack and take calls through bluetooth without having to unplug the cable from the headphone jack.

I have the exact same issue with my Samsung S4 and have previously used the HTC Thunderbolt without any issue in my car the same manner.
Somehow the BT audio and mic becomes disabled during calls while the headphone jack is plugged in, if there is a way to enable this and disable audio from the headphone jack that would be the solution. So far I have not found a way to do this through any of the settings, very disappointing. It may need a programmatic solution unfortunately...
The sound quality from aux to bluetooth is minimal....why not just use bluetooth? Your making more work for yourself. You'll get calls...the audio will mute...then resume when calls end. I do this in my car...sounds and works just fine.

Guessing they don't have Bluetooth built into their cars. They are using a headset for calls and an aux jack for music.

Exactly... If u wanted my calls to route through my car I would not mind this. I take my calls privately and thus why I do it this way. I know I can setup multiple bluetooth devices and disable phone on one of them. But I have not found a bluetooth adapter to my liking yet.

Bluetooth not working correctly
This is definitely a bug on the s4. In the car I have Bluetooth and an aux Jack. The phone connects fine to Bluetooth and works as long as I'm not using the aux to play music in the car. If I'm listening to music through the aux/headphone jack and I get a call. Bluetooth recognizes the call, music on the phone stops playing, but when I answer, I cannot hear anything. If I unplug the headphone jack I can hear the call. This has been tested on different cars, different roms including stock, and always worked fine on previous phones. Can anyone help? It's easy to reproduce, not sure why more people haven't noticed.
Unfortunately, from what I read somewhere, this isn't a bug, it was intentional by Samsung.
I'm in the same boat, I use BT for my calls in the car, but the headphone jack for music out. If there's a cable plugged in, you can't even manually force a BT connection, it's grayed out and unavailable. Unplug the jack, and BT kicks in and picks up the call. Very inconvenient to say the least.
Any way around this?
I also have a question about how the Samsung will work with this in mind. In the past I have used a Motorola cable that has a micro usb plug on the phone end, and a full size usb and a 3.5mm aux out jack on the other. It allowed me to charge the phone and take the music out when docked in the car. Would this work with this phone? Has anyone tried it yet?
Here is a link to the cable I'm talking about.....

Can't just deselect the "media" (a2dp) profile for your vehicle?
Sent from my device that can send.
I just noticed the same issue with my aux plugged in for music and BT for phone and received a call but could not hear anything. Could make and end calls but no sound in my car.
Seems like both get disabled when a call comes in and the phone is paired. Unplug the aux and BT works for calls fine.
I did some research and ending up purchasing Sound About Pro from the market for $2.99 and it solved the problem. It lets you force the calls to BT or AUX for that matter.
And yes, it still pauses the music and resumes when call is done.
$2.99 to fix a Samsung problem stinks but it works now

I use Google for voice dialing much faster than svoice. Seems like the first time it works then later after playing music it doesn't. Any setting I should change in sound about

Hello,
I was wondering if maybe someone experiences the same or if someone has a solution for this.
When I drive I like to use TomTom Go on my phone as my main navigation, I don't like the car's navigation. I have a new Peugeot 308 SW and it has a large multimedia touch screen.
I enable bluetooth on my phone so that when I am called, the audio of the call goes through the car's audio system. This works great but because I am using bluetooth, the audio from the navigation is muted. Looks like the audio via bluetooth of TomTom Go (but also Google Maps) cannot communicate with my car's audio system. This is really annoying and the only way to get audio from TomTom Go is to disable the bluetooth and then I get audio through the phone's speaker, which is fine.
I tried an app called SoundAbout for Android and this gave me the option to route "media audio" via speaker. So I thought that I had found the solution, unfortunately it also routed phone call's audio through the speaker.
So, to summarize: does someone have an idea how I can enable bluetooth in my phone, use a navigation app (like TomTom Go) and hear the navigation's audio? I am fine if the audio is then through the phone's speaker, as long as the phone calls are through the car's audio.
Thanks for the help and Merry Christmas!

Hi,
I've checked all the settings, in TomTom, Google Maps and Bluetooth, nothing helps.
I've been reading some stuff online and it's a very common issue. I do read that people using an iPhone don't seem to have this issue.
In Google Maps' settings I've checked that audio goes through Bluetooth, but no success. I guess it also has to do with the software in my car. My colleagues have the same problem. I guess when I use TomTom and I want to hear turn-by-turn guidance, I will need to switch off Bluetooth.
I will keep looking for a solution and will reply here when I find it. I just installed A2DP Volume Androi app but haven't test it yet. The description sounds promising, I hope this helps me.
You can try different navigators, like igo,that can use alarm volume setting instead of app volume setting, and it can be seen by Bluetooth speaker

I have Google Maps, TomTom Go and Sygic, not really looking for another navigation app.
I will keep looking for a decent solution.
Thanks for your input!
What is your car audio system? If it's Sony's, you can use Songpal.
you can hear voice from phone through your car audio if you change input from radio to bluetooth.
#1 Set up can be:
CAR
Input: bluetooth
PHONE
play music by bluetooth,
use your navi, and music will automatically go quieter when navi speaks
#2 Another solution is:
PHONE
in app, in voice settings or bluetooth settings, set up "use phone speaker instead of bluetooth"
It will play navi by phone, and calls will be like always by car system.
You cannot mix inputs in car system, so radio and phone bluetooth. When you have call, your car system is changing inputs, but it take some time. So if you would like to play it like that, you will have 3 sec of every communicate cuted off. So better use, solution #1 or #2
