I have successfully paired a Blueant s4 bluetooth speaker with my Lg Connect cell phone. I am able to answer calls through the bluetooth and voice commands are working. When I place a call using the bluetooth, the number is dialed , however, to hear through the bluetooth I must first turn the bluethooth off then on while on the phones call screen. Defeats the whole purpose of "Hands Free Calling". Will I need to root my phone and download an app to fix this? Metro and LG blame the bluetooth devices. The bluetooth companies blame the phone. I have tried two different bluetooth devices. Can someone please help me?

I am using the HBH-DS980 bluetooth headset with my Nokia 6300 phone. I desperately need on the following questions,
1. After pairing and connecting, the contacts lists shows up as empty in the headset. How can I enable the bluetooth headset to read my phone's contacts?
2. When I receive a call the caller ID only shows the number of the caller and not his/her name as stored in the contacts. How can I fix this?
3. The auto-connect feature doesnt seem to work well. After connection, if I take my phone away from range for a while and then come back the re-connection does not happen automatically after any amount of time. I have set my phone to auto-connect with Bluetooth headset without confirmation. Still it does not work. How can I fix this.
Please help.
On this site people talk mostly about Windows Mobile phones made by HTC and AFAIK this is not the case with the Nokia 6300... (I could be wrong and this wouldn't be the first time).
I suggest you post your questions at Nokia Discussions or Esato.
How do I transfer a call from bluetooth speakers to the phone with tasker? Cant find any parameter for tat action :/
Why: When in car I want the calls to go through bluetooth handsfree system, but if its a private call and I have company in the car I would like to be able to pick my phone up from the dock and then the call should be transfered to the phone automaticlt even thou the bluetooth still is connected.
How do I do this?
Thanks in advance

The way I would do it is have a script to turn off bluetooth when there is an incoming call and it is removed from the dock (by the way what do you mean by dock?) and then re-enabling it when the call ends.
Good thought, but its like walking around the problem. Ill try if my car likes me to switch on and off BT or if it will refuse to reconnect.
Dont need a script for it, tasker have defaults to just turn of the BT in this case. But it would be a hell lot easier if I could just re route the sound since there are buttons for it on the darn phone
A dock... the holder with included charger for my mobile in the car.

On htc phones if you answer from the bluetooth the call will take place there but if you will answer from the ohone the call will be directed on the phonespeaker
I also have this problem but in opposite way. I want that when my phone has the autoanswer enabled the call to remain on the bluetooth which is not happenning and when i am riding the motorcycle is difficult to answer from the bluetooth device

Thank you, I tried this but is not working as I wish, because when is answering the conversation is transferred automatically on the phone!
Hi everyone,
I am an owner of the GSIII I747M and the ASUS Transformer, both running ICS. I recently had this idea (fantasy?) where I mount the Transformer in my car, hook it up to the car speakers and basically use it as my in-car infotainment system instead of the headunit that's in there. Nothing wrong with my in-car headunit (except the fact that I can't get bluetooth to work with my GSIII), but the tablet will give me tons more features. When I enter the car, I want the tablet to automatically tether to my phone via wi-fi and via bluetooth. Wi-fi is for internet access and it works just fine. The bluetooth is for the hands-free profile, so that when I receive a call, the music/navigation/whatever gets interrupted and I can take the call. I also want to be able to dial from the tablet.
When I connect the two devices via bluetooth, I don't have a hands-free profile; indeed I have no useful profiles at all. My question is simple: is there an app for that? Any suggestions? Has anyone done this? Thanks!
TabletTalk will let you answer/make calls on your tablet so long as it's pair to your phone and you're on a bt headset. It also handle your phone's SMS.
AutoTether can automatically tether your tablet to your phone hotspot.
Thanks, but that's not quite what I was like for. I won't be texting and driving, even on a tablet. I'm looking to use my tablet as a BT headset. I can pipe my output to the car's speakers and the tablet has a mic, so I can use it to talk on the phone while driving. Is there an app that can do that?
That would be awesome!
Let me know if you figure it out
I'm looking to do the same thing... Maybe it's time to learn how to code for Android. I've done some interfacing with BT at the driver level before but it was back before BT even officially came out, so there was not a Handsfree Profile ;-)
I couldn't find an app or anything that does this, so I think I'm SOL until someone makes an app with this capability.
I am trying to set up my watch and have looked around everywhere and only getting a couple of dead end results. I am hoping someone has a solution or work around for what seems like a basic problem. I have the s3 frontier and it is connected via bluetooth to lgv20 and the lgv20 is connected via bluetooth to plantronics voyager legend headset. My goal is to quick dial a contact from the watch and it be routed over to the earpiece seamlessly. Right now when i try to swap the call the only options available are phone and dial pad, the third (bluetooth headset) is greyed out. If i swap to the phone obviously the call plays over phone and i need to manually make the change to plantronics from the status bar. Ofcourse all this changes after the call and reverts back and defeats the point anyway if im pulling out the phone in the first place. I have tried disabling the call profile from the s3 but that disables my ability to make the call in the first place, which is not an option. I tried third party apps to reroute the call and "soundaround" worked once, once. Any options or theories would be very much appreciated, this is like the core reason i got this thing and cant believe it would be such a hassle.
I also have the SAME PROBLEM and I also would appreciate any help...
In my case I have an OnePlus 3T + Gear S3 Frontier. I have used several BT headsets with same "bad" result.
Thanks in advance...
I have a Huawei P9 Plus + Gear S3 Frontier + Plantronics M55...... and SAME PROBLEM, i can enable "call profile" on S3 or Headset but not both.
When I connect S3 and headphones to a mobile samsung the "call profile" can be enabled on both, I tried it with samsung KZoom, and all works fine !!!
I wrote the assistance Samsung ... I hope he has a solution because the problem occurs with all bluetooth headsets, including the car's hands-free !!!
This is driving me a little nuts! The watch frequently defaults to be my bluetooth connection when I'm making and receiving a call. It's mainly when I am in my car and I really NEVER want a phone call on my watch. Is there some way to disable phone calls on the watch or change how the phone is connecting to devices (eg in what order it makes a connection)?
In Settings > Bluetooth > Paired devices > Disable option to receive calls, for watch
I think this may be the best solution for it. I appreciate the quick and easy response! Bummer that it doesn't let me pick the default list in order or something.
Do you have LTE watch ? Because I do not really understand your problem.
Mine is BT. When I get into my car, phone connects to Ford Sync system. When incoming call arrives I just pick it up from the Ford sync.
That is what I want to happen! I do not have lte but when I'm in my car (and I would say more likely than not connected to Android auto) when I press the button to answer the call my watch steals it. It also sometimes happens when I'm wearing BT headphones connected to my phone. The way you're describing it is totally logical. If I answer it on the phone with a swipe or I choose that device in BT settings once a call is already answered that's fine. But when I'm pressing the answer button on my steering wheel why is it going to the watch?

This is really odd.
When I pick up call on the phone, still Ford gets the call.
When out of the car and watch connected to phone: when I pick up at phone - call remains at phone.
The only difference is, that I do not connect to Android Auto ( I have to use cable - which I am to lazy to plug ). I use only BT connection to car as ordinary handsfree
I will verify what happens when I connect to Android Auto.
EDIT: Maybe this is a problem of you phone ? I think this is the place when you shoul search for handsfree priority ? I mean it is not "hungry" watch "stealinbg" the connection buy phone feeding him I have Galaxy M51 and no problem of this kind
EDIT2: You ate not the only one with this problem and it is not problem caused by GW4
