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

Thanks PeppeBove.
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

I have paired my sgs2 with my bluetooth car kit. Phone calls etc work perfect, using my car's speakers and microphone. However, when i try to use the satnav on my phone, or start the Voice Commands app and it says "what would you like to do?", the audio comes out of my phone's loudspeaker rather than my car's speakers!
Is anybody else having this problem? Or is it working fine for other users?
I am using a Parrot 3200LS. Here is a screenshot of it's bluetooth settings on my phone:
tapatalk.com/mu/522f57ed-dbab-7fed.jpg
On google people mentioned that there should be 2 checkboxes, Phone and Media, but i only have Phone. Is this what is causing the problem? Is there any way i can fix this?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
EDIT: I found the answer to my own question. Apparently my Parrot 320LLS does not support A2DP, which is required to play the navigation, music, etc sounds through the car speakers via bluetooth!
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?

I've been searching for this same exact question, but haven't found jack. Did you ever figure this out?

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.
Hi, I have already posted this on another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001204&page=6) as a reply, but I think this is a different topic and needs its own thread of discussion.
I have a weird bluetooth problem with my OneX+, where apps like Navigation, Google Voice, Voice Search, Skype etc just do not play through the bluetooth. Only the inbuilt Music app, phone calls and the system sounds (rings, alarms, notification sounds etc) play through bluetooth.
On my phone, the music and phone calls go through bluetooth fine. But the problem is, that all other applications which have some kind of sound output, just do not play through bluetooth. The list includes, Google voice, Voice Search, Navigation, Skype, Waze, Raaga, Pandora and so on. So other than the in built music app, calls and system sounds, nothing else can play through bluetooth.
However, if you have some music played using inbuilt music app, and at the same time Navigation ON too, then all the navigation prompts play through bluetooth fine.
I feel that, in built music or calls can hold and lock the bluetooth connection while the sound output is on, whereas all other applications like Navigation, waze, voice search etc, just cannot keep the bluetooth locked in. Hence when music is being played bluetooth is connection locked and I can hear navigation too. But you switch off music and navigation (or other apps) go mute.
BTW, I tested my car with HTC One X (not plus) from my friend, and it does not exhibit any such problem. Navigation (or other apps) play fine through my car's bluetooth. No need to keep music ON on the phone.
Has anyone noticed this? Can someone please test it with their devices? Please try various sound output apps on your HOX+ over bluetooth, and list them here wheather they could output sound using ur bluetooth device, also please name what bluetooth device you are using.
If you know any work around, it would be of immense help to me for sure.

I will test it with the navigation only on my way back home from work. Will report back.
Just tested navigation without anything else. Worked for me over the car speakers via BT.

I too do not have this issue. Look under Bluetooth and see what profiles are enabled.
You should have both "Phone audio" and "Media audio" checked. If they are, then unpair and repair your phone.

Stock or running custom Rom? Didn't read your page long article on the problem just the first paragraph, thesis, lol. I ask because I'm running the elegancia ATT Rom and all u say not working are all working perfectly for me! I also use Bluetooth all day at work and in the car. My navigation (stock app) talks to me through my Bluetooth headset as well as Pandora, Google voice, etc. Using plantronics marque 2 headset if it makes a difference.
I just installed the new update to Google Maps 7.0.2 and I have a question: When I am in my car, I use the Bluetooth connection so I can receive phone calls through the car speakers. If I use Google Navigation but say, I am listening to the radio, I can't hear the Navigation voice directions, since Google Maps is sending the audio through Bluetooth, but the car system is tuned to Radio, not Bluetooth.
Is there any way to force the audio instructions in Google Navigation through the phone speaker only when the phone is connected via Bluetooth? Otherwise, if you use Bluetooth for calls, you are forced to have your car audio on Bluetooth streaming all the time if you want to hear navigation instructions. What if you want to listen to radio or CD and at the same time hear the navigation instructions?
By the way, Waze has this setting. It is called "Play sound to phone speaker", which overrides the BT connection, which is in fact what I would like to do in Google Navigation.
Thanks!

It sounds like it might be an issue with your radio. I'll test mine and see what it does and let you know.
