Whenever I connect the phone to my car's BT phone calls are routed correctly. However, other audio (e.g Sat Nav directions) are also routed through BT too. Unfortunately, the car cannot play these so no sounds are heard. I want to force the phone to route non-call related audio through the phone's external speaker as normal even when connected to BT. Apps I've found in the market are all designed to do the reverse!
So, I take it that nobody else has this problem?
Give this a try....Go to Settings->Wireless & Networks->Bluetooth Settings and long press on your paired connection and select "Options". In Options uncheck "Media", but leave "Phone" and "Connect" checked.
Try it and see if that works.
Cheers but I've already tried that. All that happens is the connection disconnects completely and when I tried to connect (with the media option deselected) it automatically reconnects the media option too!

I currently have a program called cicleBT that turns BT on and off with the push of a button (without having to navigate thru to the comm manager)...
Would it be hard to make a program that did this and then once bluetooth was on it would automatically make my first BT device "set as wireless stereo"??
i find it a pain that everytime i want to hook up my stereo headphones i have to go into the bluetooth settings and set it as wireless stereo after turning on device visible to other devices...
What would i need to be able to do to do this?
thanks
This isn't the software your asking for, but once your headphones have established the headset link, try pressing the play button on them. Works on all bluetooth headphones I've used.
Ok I am going to ask this question because there are way to many bluetooth programs here and I need to find a specific one.
All I want is for when I turn my headset on and its connected to my phone I want it to transfer the sounds to the headset and pull the microphone from the headset. So when its connected it immediately sends the sound to the headset; Not just in call sounds. I mean all sounds. I am using VITO VOice command so I just need it to send the sound to the headset and pull the microphone form the headset. Also I need it to send teh sound back to the headset after a call as well if a call is happening while using the headset for sound.
Can this be done?

Thanks nir36, I've just tried BTaudio but, unfortunately, it doesn't seem to reconnect the audio gateway after a call ends.

What I use is a program called BtMusic (available here: http://maxmobilesoft.com/index.php/software/btmusic). It is shareware, I think, but does pop up a message box when opening the program and every 5 or so times the gateway is established. I believe you can donate to get rid of these prompts, but you'd have to ask the author through that website. It isn't annoying if you don't need to keep reconnecting very often. BtMusic seems to have some advantages:
1. Reconnects automatically after a call ends.
2. Does not need the headset to be turned on before being enabled - it waits for the headset to connect and connects the gateway when it is found (you can therefore leave BtMusic running in the background and just turn on and off the headset as needed!).
3. Supports stereo headsets.
All the best,
Martin
Anybody have any other ideas?
I have my phone setup with my car and quality is great, but i can't figure out how to set the phone to auto switch to a bluetooth device for all calls once it's connected. Is there a way to do this?
My calls go to my bluetooth headset when the headset is already connected. My issue is that the phone doesn't automatically connect to the headset upon power on/boot up. This is the first phone I've had that does this and I don't like it.

It should be automatic, I think (or at least, in the BT devices settings). If not, try Tasker,

I don't get it. My phone auto connects for me. Did it with the tunelink in my car today and the past few weeks, did it for 4 days with my friends ford car with sync and does it at work with many different devices when I get near them.

I'm not sure I 100% get what you want. Are you saying you get the BT connection in your car but it won't send the calls to it? Your phone rings instead?
I can tell when my phone locks into my car's BT because the screen in my car indicates it. All calls then get redirected to the car's system.
My phone automatically connects when I start my car. Calls that I pickup with my steering will buttons route through to bluetooth. All that is fine. My problem is making outgoing calls. I have a feedback dial that is a pain to dial from. I like using the 1 touch calling on my phone much more - except when I dial through the phone, it never pushes to bluetooth. After connecting, I can switch to bluetooth, but I have to manually use the touchscreen to get it going. Is there any way that it can auto connect using bluetooth when I dial from my phone?
Weird, my phone automatically uses bluetooth even when I dial my from my phone. This is true for both my car's bluetooth and my bluetooth headphones. Maybe it's a setting in your car?

Did you check through the phone settings? I think there are some bluetooth settings in there.
I think I found a bug with Pixel BT. I use two BT connections, one to my car head unit directly for phone calls and the other to an Astell&Kern high quality BT receiver for music. In settings media is turned off for the car connection, and phone is turned off for the music BT.
The problem is that the media BT receiver will not connect automatically unless I turn back on the phone setting. Which kind of defeats the purpose.
Can anyone think of a way to fix this -- make it connect automatically without phone BT enabled?
I have a Bluetooth headset that I want only the phone calls to go to and I have the media audio disabled the Bluetooth settings for it. however every time I disconnect and reconnect the headset the media audio still shows disabled yet all the audio gets routed to the headset. I have reset the Bluetooth settings and cleared the cache, and also reset up the headset multiple times and the problem still comes back. the only way I can get it to stop routing media audio to the headset is to each time I connect I have to manually go into the settings re-enable and then disable media audio. Any suggestions? This headset works fine on my pixel to set up that way.

This sounds like a similar issue I am having. This is not necessarily a problem with the device but a setting within the headset.
I usually have my BT Headset going more than 12-hours per day. I want the phone app to speak the callers' name over BT (Earphone mode> speak caller ID). The settings in my BT headset override the settings on the phone. Thus, when there is a phone call I hear, "Call from ###-###-####." No matter what I do on the phone, the headset will override it.
In your case, the headset might have a similar override forcing the media audio to reconnect.
Try contacting the manufacturer and see if you can change the settings in the headset.
Cheers,
