I have a nexus s phone..not rooted. Android gingerbread 2.3.1
is it possible to turn off the bluetooth voice dialer without rooting? any aps?
why do you want to turn off the BT voice commands? it's so useful
and the most amazing thing is, it actually recognizes my speech, and executes the proper name to dial, or picks up properly the stuff i want to search, it's amazing!
never had another device that was actually able to recognize the voice properly before

I have not been able to find a thread about voice controlling the actual bluetooth as opposed to bluetooth dialling. I was looking for an app which could fix it for me if I forget to turn on my bluetooth before driving away. I found multiple apps such as Jeannie which offer voice control over everything else, but the snag with bluetooth (the only thing I genuinely need voice control over!) is that while it succeeds in recognising that I want to turn on Bluetooth, up pops a box saying that an app wants to activate my bluetooth, allow it to do so, yes or no. Not very voice controlled if I have to press a button to confirm that I want my phone to carry out the instruction given by voice command.
Is there a way to get rid of this pop-up for authorised apps, or some other way to activate Bluetooth without touching the phone screen that would not require rooting? I can't be messing around trying to press the correct part of the screen when I'm flying along at 60mph, but I can't risk missing calls because the Bluetooth is not enabled.
Is there an app out there for this device that really works over bluetooth? The gingerbread release voice command was horrible and now that ICS (rogers stock and other ics roms) all suck for this feature. The ability to voice command the phone to do a task seems to be a hard thing to have happen! I've used several different bluetooth devices and the simple task of getting the phone to listen to the bluetooth mic instead of the phone mic seems impossible. If that wasn't enough of a problem, its impossible to get the tts engines to route audio to the bluetooth device instead of the skyrocket speakers! I've tried vlingo, svoice, and others, they all have the same issues of audio input and output.
Arrrrg really frustrating. I just want the ability to command my phone by voice (i.e. "what time is it?", "check weather", "check text messages"... all the things vlingo does) and have the phone reply through the bluetooth device connected! My old blackberry bold 9700 did all this like a champ! This is a handy feature while riding motorcycle.
Anyhow, does anyone have any thoughts?
Running Sean's Sky ICS.
When I am driving, I often dictate voice memos, using a standard voice recorder app. I used to be able to do this through my bluetooth headset with Voice2Do, but that app FC's now on ICS.
I have not been able to find another app that lets me create voice memos with the bluetooth headset - many say they do, but I cant get any of them to work with ICS. Does anyone know of one that works?
An acceptable alternative would be to create non-voice memos through the bluetooth headset. So, if there is a keyboard that does voice recognition through the bluetooth headset, that would work. Does anyone know of one?
I have S-Voice working through the headset, and it will save memos to S-Memo, but I cannot get S-Memo working on the Skyrocket.
A solution would be greatly appreciated.

I was looking into this as well, although I didn't get very far in my search. Tape Machine looked promising, but it couldn't open my BT device. That could be my particular device, or my third party rom. It's worth trying though.

Yeah, tried it, with no luck.
Vlingo does have an option to listen via bluetooth, and I can use it to send an email to myself (but not to create a note), but it seems to lose the bluetooth connection after one use.
Hello all!!
I've been having a hard time with this, and looking to see if this is possible with the combination I am using.
I am having trouble getting SMS to read through TTS on android 2.3.6. The phone is the MB860 Atrix 4g.
Issue: I have an Alpine head unit in my car that does HSP and A2DP. Everything works great. I can stream through A2DP from all programs. I can send phone calls through the radio or as they come in. I can even voice dial through it by accessing Voice Commands or Vlingo.
1. What I am dying to do is find the right program or combination of programs to allow the radio to see an incoming text message (using TTS) as a PHONE CALL and allow it to interrupt CD's and Tuner mode also. This is already possible through the A2DP profile for streaming music through the radio (obviously, internal to the phone)
I currently use Handcent for texting (does TTS through A2DP).
I also sparingly use Vlingo for in car mode (Does NOT play well with Handcent, If it did....my problem would be 90% solved)
Vlingo must see notifications from the stock messaging app in order to start reading the messages. (Why handcent doesnt play well will vlingo)
I just found A2DP Volume, which SUPPOSEDLY allows handcent support and allows you to choose which audio stream to put the TTS on.
I couldnt get ANY of the streams to work. (I do have PICO turned on. that was my first mistake)
In reality, overall, I would like to have Vlingo in In Car mode, to read txt to me from safe reader. I would like to respond by voice using vlingo to send the message back (This works)
2. Could I use Tasker to switch messaging apps whenever bluetooth is active.
3. The over all situation: vlingo doesnt get notifications from Handcent (which i COULD stop using handcent just for that) but i MUSTalso be in BT audio mode on the radio inorder to hear my texts read aloud.... I WOULD like to have it interrupt other modes by "faking" a phone call
This is alot to chew on.....but thanks to anyone who spends the time to read it and offer advice!!!

Unlocked Pixel 2 here, not rooted. I've noticed that while in my car, voice typing via the voice button in Gboard doesn't work; it doesn't seem to be getting voice at all. Google Assistant works fine via Bluetooth, and everything including voice typing works when not connected to Bluetooth. If I use voice commands to send text messages, it works fine, but I can't voice type in text fields in FB Messenger and the like.

Clear data for the Google app and go through the setup again.

Didn't help. Replicated issue with my Bluetooth speaker, except that now I discovered that voice typing does not work when phone calls via BT are enabled, but does when the device only supports media. Google Assistant works either way.

Clear the data for it and also clear data for the keyboard. I had that problem about a month back and that's what fixed it for me. Figured it was the Google app but I did clear data from the keyboard first.

Perhaps but it seems most people with this issue have been having it with Assistant not getting voice input. Assistant works fine for me, via Bluetooth or otherwise. It's just voice typing that's being a pain.
K, tried clearing data for both Gboard and Google app. Voice typing still does not work when phone calls are enabled for Bluetooth devices.
Disabled Bluetooth headsets under Google > Settings > Voice; it uses handset microphone for both Google Assistant and Voice Typing now even when connected to Bluetooth devices. Better than nothing I suppose. Google Support had nothing useful to suggest other than a factory reset.
Does this (voice typing over bt) actually works for anyone? I just need confirmation that this works for anyone before I go clearing any data or perform factory reset...
Can anyone connect to a bt headset, start voice typing and go to the other room (so phone's mic does not pick up sound) and say something into the bt mic and that be entered as text?
I could dictate text using Gboard over wired headphones in Duolingo app while learning Spanish in my car. Now that I started using Samsung Galaxy Buds in car, I can no longer dictate like that over Bluetooth. I do not have any other bt headphones at the moment to try them out.
Assistant works if i press and hold the earpiece, but not by simply saying "Ok Google". But there is no option of telling Assistant to type in some text in the current app. Not that I know of.
You have to use something like BT mono and activate it whenever you want to type via Bluetooth. I use it whenever I am trying to type via voice in a car using my Motorola whisper, which does a much better job than the built-in microphone..
