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.

I have just brought an add on for my car head unit to enable bluetooth handsfree operation. It has the options for displaying text messages and some other features but they are all greyed out and only normal phone calls can be done.
Also the phone display turns on when you receive a call and so if its in your pocket you can press the screen by mistake.
Has anyone else used features like text alerts or with windows mobile devices or know any way to get these extra features working with car hands free kits.
I cant find anything much on the net so hope someone can help!
Bluetooth Profiles
The only thing I can think of is that a Bluetooth profile that supports the functionality you require is not enabled.
Check Profiles under Bluetooth settings and try enabling some of the unchecked profiles.

Does anyone have any idea software or otherwise to make Android to do this...
- Intercept an outgoing bluetooth phone call (IE someone dialed "*123" over bluetooth)
- Keep the BT audio channel OPEN, but do NOT dial the call
- Run Google Voice Search and direct audio input / output to that instead
The reason is I am trying to figure out a way to have my Android phone controllable via voice from my car kit (Chrysler UConnect), which is being "too smart" and has no idea to simply send a Bluetooth "action button" to Android. My idea is if I can write a little app that does the above, then I can simply save this "magic number" to my contacts and have it voice dialed
Hi all, Android noob here.
I came from a jailbroken iPhone 5 and with that phone, while receiving a call I could swipe to open SBSettings and activate BT. This was very handy since I didn't have to have BT on all the time but while driving if I received a call I could simply turn BT on and use my car's no hands kit.
Is there a way to do this with my N5? Because I hate answering and telling people "hold on.... hold on.... hold on.... ok go" and I never remember turning BT on before I start driving :/
My N5 is rooted with the stock ROM and kernel.
well, you could get some nfc chip and tell it, it should get your phone to activate bluetooth. the phone should then automatically connect to your car's system
Swipe down with two fingers from the top - click the Bluetooth tile - enable Bluetooth.
Hey,
I am having trouble with my Pioneer CD-BTB200 Bluetooth Adapter, which is a common problem, according to the very few available threads on the internet.
This also didn't work with any other Smartphone before i.e. Samsung S3 or Blackberry Bold 9700.
Cliffnotes:
-pairing, media streaming (different source) and receiving and making calls works great! No issues there
-transfering the contact list results in a big mess, I have to dig in there if I can figure it out or if I just transfer one contact after another....
-now for the problem.......I installed Cyberon Voice Commander because it gives me the best behaviour and voice recognition since I am a native German speaker. Google, Dragon and AIVC don't work really well. But it doesn't matter which voice assist app I use, because it is the Bluetooth adapters fault. The Nexus 5 is rooted and runs stock Kernel with KitKat 4.4.2.
When I press the voice dial button on my Pioneer AVH-P5000DVD deck it activates the Cyberon Voice Commander app (or whichever is set as default). so far so good, that is what I want.
But! the dialog between me and the phone is almost impossible because the output volume over the car speakers is way to low. I have to literally pick up the phone and look at it's display to see what the voice commanding app is doing because you have to wait until it is finished asking what I want to do. (just holding a phone is illegal in Germany)
Assuming the app understood me right and starts dialing everything turns to be fine from that point because the volume of the actual call is perfect!
When the phone talks back to me I have to crank the volume all the way up to understand it a little bit and then turn it back down fast before the phone call starts or it'll blow the speakers out....since my car is quite loud when on temperature I don't think I will understand anything when I am driving.
I heard that the app TASKER could be programmed to raise the Bluetooth volume at a certain point and then lower it again. I checked but it only goes up to 15, which I already have set before with the stock volume slider. Additionally I have no idea how to configure Tasker to (maybe) get rid of the problem.
Has anyone ever heard of a similar problem and / or has an idea how to handle it?
Again, it's only the voice command prompts that are way to quiet when I start the voice dialing function via Bluetooth, everything else is fine.
Fixed the issue with SoundAbout!

Now the voice prompts play loud and clear over the car speakers! Every other volume managing app failed miserably!
I used the latest Beta Version btw, going to buy the Pro Version soon.

I did very little changes to the settings, if anyone is interested I can hook you up with some screenshots

I have this issue as well. SO what did you have to do with this app?
Hello Guys,
I created this app because i have a kia sportage 2013 with basic bluetooth capabilities pickup calls and bluetooth audio.
So i tried tasker to fullfil my need but tasker was to buggy for me. So decided to create an app that will make my basic bt radio into a smart one but making sure i dont have to look at the phone as that is dangerous and i have seen my self doing stupid stuff just to check on a notification.
So the point is to use the phone but not even look at it so you can pay attention to the road.
This is the best friend (BFF) of your Bluetooth Car Radio or speaker,headsets, headphones.

Ex: get in your car, turn it. phone auto connects to car and start playing music through bluetooth using your favorite player.
Get off the car bluetooth disconnects, music stops playing.
-Proximity Sensor: You can use the proximity sensor to switch to Next Track on your music player or Open Google Now!
Ex: You are driving, dont like current song, so you dont look at the phone or radio. just hover your hand over the screen and
the next track will start playing. You can also use this option to trigger the assistant and make calls, send SMS, switch to next
song by voice command or any other google voice command.
-SpeakOut incoming Notifications: you can select which apps you want the phone to speak out through your Bluetooth device once you get them, (SMS,Emails, Artist - Song information,hangouts, facebook, etc.
Ex: While driving you will get voice notification of any selected app, you can also use the proximity sensor to shut them up in
case you get something privite and you have company.
-Disable WIFI as soon you connect to your Bluetooth device and re-enable it as soon as you disconnects from bluetooth, perfect for Car rides and save battery.
-Enable Bluetooth if you get a phone call, so it can connect to your Bluetooth device without taking your phone out of your pocket.
Ex: if are into safe as much battery life as you can and dont like to enable BT or you forgot. This option will enable it for
you and connect to your car so you can go hands freeand no stress/danger by looking for your phone in your pocket.
-Max out the Call Volume as soon as you pick it up the call volume incase you turn it down by mistake and ofcourse you cant touch your phone when you drive
-Drive detection,it will enable bluetooth if you are driving a car. in case you forgot to enable BT.
Ex: if you keep BT disable you can use this option to make your phone detect when you are driving so it will auto connect
to your car. It uses GPS but it didnt take more that 1% out of my battery during my testing.
-Android Auto Integration: This option will speak out any notification from android auto.
Ex: if you are privilege and have android auto in your car you can make it shout out all new notification from the android
auto system.
-Still under development, so please bring your feedback and any idea is welcome, i just want people to stay away from their phones while driving and the only way i can do that is to make sure they still have access to the phone with out looking at it.
Thanks and i hope you like. By the way is free:
