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.
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.
Hello. My phone is an HTC One X, and I have paired it with a BlueParrott Bluetooth mono headset. When I first start Vlingo, btmono appropriately routes all audio to my headset. Then, it just stops, and this is usually preceded by text in the notification bar that quickly flashes BeatsAudio on the screen, and then disappears.
The odd thing, is that the beeps that accompany the notifications in Vlingo continue to work. The voice prompts cease completely.
SO, I exit Vlingo, and enable Btmono again, and the voice prompts in Vlingo work again, until I tell her to do something, then I'm back to square one again. I'm not sure if this is an issue with my headset, which is not A2DP, just mono, BeatsAUdio, Vlingo, btmono, or some other conflict.
I'm a truck driver, so I really need all prompts routed to this headset, to keep me hands free compliant.
Thank you in advance for any assistance!
Q
I just got a bluetooth speaker for my car. The Jabra cruiser 2. I have problems with Google Now or voice search whenever the phone is connected via bluetooth. It seems that if I press google now or voice search on my phone the little dialog that it's listening come up. I speak my command but I can tell that my it doesn't hear my voice. The microphone symbol doesn't move like it does when it is listening.
As soon as I turn off bluetooth it works. It seems as if the Jabra or my phone doesn't use the microphone to listen to my command. Is there a setting I am missing?
Voice command problem when headset plugged in phone jack fix
When you plug your headset jack in to listen to music, then turn off the screen, the google voice search and voice dialer pop up. They turn your music off and ask you fo search command. Arhhhhh aggravating. Go to phone settings/ task manager/ all aps , scroll down to google search and click disable. That fixed my phone. The note 2 has nice hardware and crappy software............
