Hello all,
I have searched everywhere and can't find a resolution to my problem. I have the verizon GS3 in an Infuse 4G car dock and am running M2 of CM10.1. I also have a bluetooth headset (Motorola Roadster). Currently, I use Dock Sound Redirector to enable dock audio in the car dock (but keep speaker audio in my desk dock at home). I have the headset paired for phone call audio only, because I prefer my music on my car speakers and not the headset.
Because of this, I am not able to use the headset as a handsfree system at all. It will only enable the mic and route audio to the headset when I dial from the phone. If I attempt to use voice dialer it doesn't work. Another interesting item, when I was running stock and rooted I could use SoundHound to capture the music playing out of my cars speakers. I cannot do this with CM10.1. And even though I could do this on stock/rooted, I still couldn't perform voice actions in Google Now or Voice Dialer.
Sorry for such a long post, and this may not be possible, but in summary I would like to be able to use the bluetooth headset as a mic, at the same time as having dock audio to my car speakers. I would be ok with having phone call audio on the headset, as long as I could use voice commands or google now. Has anyone been able to find a solution to this or have a good setup?

BUMP!!! I'm having a similar issue. Same Dock. I am using Vanilla Rootbox Nightlies which uses CM 10's dock audio feature. I too have a muted microphone and I'm not even trying to use bluetooth. It seems like its trying to find a mic using the usb audio but obviously we just have speakers plugged in. Anybody have answers???
Having the same issue on CM 10.1 and 10.2, but in the AT&T variant of the S3. The bug has been reported, months ago, but isn't getting any traction. You can see the bug report at https://jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-1080. Follow the link and comment, and vote for the bug. Maybe we can generate some interest in fixing it.
[UPDATED] - This Works, but it is very buggy. Sometimes it will recognize the bluetooth mic a couple times in a row. Sometimes it will lock up at initializing, or just pop up blank.
So I have been playing with a couple of different apps, and CM 10.2 has finally resolved the USB audio issues with the gs3. Here is how I have been able to get USB audio to work and use a bluetooth headset for voice commands/google now.
What I used:
SoundAbout ... Try one of the beta versions first to make sure it works on your device (allows you temporary access to the pro features).
Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector
Bluetooth Launch (if you want to change the headset button to start a google now voice search)
InFuse 4g cardock
Motorola Roadster
Settings:
CM10.1 - Go to Settings>>Advanced>>USB-dock Audio and uncheck the box (The setting is missing in CM10.2)
- Also Settings>>Bluetooth select your device's settings, and uncheck media audio
Galaxy Dock Sound Redirector - Make sure it is turned on in the bottom left corner, and "Redirect audio through car dock" is checked. (I keep desk dock unchecked so I can hear my alarm in the morning)
SoundAbout - Under "Bluetooth behavior..." make sure "(Mono) microphone override" is checked
Bluetooth Launch - Scroll down and expand "Google Search". Then select "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity" (I have had some issues with the voice search locking up using this method)
Google Now - Go to Settings>>Voice and check "Bluetooth headset"
Now you should be able to play music, and hear navigation through your car speakers. When a phone call comes in, it will mute the music, and send the audio through your bluetooth. When you press the button on your headset it will launch google now and start listening through the bluetooth mic for your voice command/search. I'm going to put together a better write up, along with my dock and car setup sometime soon!

Just made my way back to this thread, I haven't gotten a chance to try it but I will when I get a chance and report back.
Another Update
I have just noticed that my SoundAbout trial period has ended, but everything is still working the same as before (still just as buggy). This may not be needed, or maybe it just needs to be set once?

Yesterday morning i got my Tilt (Hyperdragon III ROM) off the charger and noticed that the bluetooth icon on the start bar was different. It had a headphone icon around it, instead of the headphone icon with a music note inside it. (I looked for pictures on the intertubes, but couldnt find an example).
Anyway, I'd seen the icon before, but only when I had a meeting reminder going off or if I accidentally activated voice tags. I thought it was odd, so I put my Plantronics 220 headset on and tried to play some music just to see what would happen.
For an hour, I was able to listen to music through my headset! When I got into my car to go to work, the icon went back to a normal bluetooth icon and my music switched to the phone's speaker. I think the reason it did that is because the phone automatically connected to the BT Speakerphone in my car. I've not been able to listen to music through my headset since.
I've tried and tried to make this happen again, and the only thing I can do is get 3-4 seconds of audio through the headset if I activate voice tags. I've read about a third party app that toggles audio output between the headset and the speaker, but I didnt have any interaction with any app when this happened yesterday.
Any idea how I was able to do that?
could be it hands-set vs. wireless stereo bluetooth connection ?
That's how mine delineates between the two...
No. If I go into the properties for my headset, the only profile is "Hands Free"
I just got a Bluetooth headphone/headset (with mic) to use with my GT7+ (GT-P6210 wi-fi only) and my semi-smart phone. The headset (Motorola MOTOROKR S305) has three different pairing modes: music only, phone only, and both.
When I pair it with my little phone, it automatically pairs as both. It works fine as a phone headset (mic and earphones), and it works fine as a stereo headphone with the phone's music player.
When I pair it with my GT7+, it automatically pairs as music-only. There is no microphone function. With Bluetooth off, I can make calls using the GT7+ built-in mic and speaker and the GrooVe IP app. No problems. But with the Bluetooth headset paired, I just don't get the mic function. I can hear the phone audio in the earpieces, but the mic is dead.
Is there any workaround? Is there a way to get the GT7+ to identify itself as a phone-capable as well as music-capable device for the purpose of Bluetooth pairing? (That's what I think must be missing.)
TIA.
I can't speak for that particular headset but I successfully use a jabra (phone headset only) and GV with my tab plus. However, before I had a A100 tab and I had similar mic problems with the same jabra headset...so the whole compatibilty thing seems to be hit or miss.
I assume you checked settings to confirm there are no options to adjust mic? Also, you might see what happens if you pair and use GV right after boot.

I did check settings and I didn't find anything relevant. I also tried pairing while GrooVe IP was running and logged into GV. I'll try that again right after boot. Thanks.
I used to have a Galaxy SII that was able to connect to my car stereo through bluetooth with no issue.
With the Tmobile One S, often time my phone does not full connect it will do things like only connect for phone use but not for listening to music. I also used to be able to control moving the songs and I can no longer do that. I also cannot get the metadata to show up on the car display.
Many times a reboot will hook the audio up and I can listen to music, but I still can only go forwards and backwards by using the phone.
Is anyone else having issues like this?
Yep, I got the same issues....A2DP sync problem.
Does it sync your phone contacts too. If so change what contacts are synced only allow google contacts. This was a solution for a similar issue in another thread.
Sent back in time to find Marty.
No, I don't sync my contacts...worked perfectly with MyTouch4G...also noticed headset droid and jays headset control take away Bluetooth control capability...anyone know a work around besides disabling?
Same issue here with my bluetooth headset (Cardo scala rider G4) and HTC One X.
Since installing Jays headset control for my Jays One+ (which is a one-button wired headset) my bluetooth headset control fails big time. I can only use my headset play functionality and after disconnecting the headset the music player starts playing music again within a couple of minutes.
I'll try to disable Jays headset control and let you know if this resolves my bluetooth problems.
how do/when do you select which contacts to send to headset? Didn't see an option for this in Bluetooth settings.
I received the Tmobile update today and I still have the issue of the phone not transmitting the metadata to my radio. Interestingly enough when I stream Pandora the data from pandora shows on my radio display.
Do any of you all know of a ROM that will allow the metadata to be sent from my phone to the radio?
This is the only thing that really annoys me about this phone. Thinking of selling it when the SIII comes out.
I've been setting up voice commands recently for use in my car. I have an HTC One M8, but I don't think my issue is device specific (this isn't really an issue per say, but a tweak that I think should be possible).
What currently happens is my phone connects to the stereo using A2DP bluetooth. It plays music and takes phone calls as it should. When I initiate a voice command, the music is paused, the stereo displays "voice ctrl", and the command is heard through the stereo microphone. The issue with this, is the stereo does not return to playing music after the command. I have to press the call button on the stereo to return to the music.
What I would like to have happen is when a voice command is initiated, the media volume is reduced (using Tasker), and the phone microphone is used without triggering the stereo.
I've searched a fair amount, but haven't found any solution for defaulting to the phone mic when bluetooth is connected. I'm convinced there has to be a way to do it, what am I missing?
Solved it once
I have a Htc Desire 600, and my way of solving it is at the call menu there are small icons while on call, there's a bluetooh option, phone option and a handsfree option, i kept the phone option on default, hope that helps
Cheers!
Hello all
One of the issues I have with Bluetooth on this phone is that the controls aren't granular enough. I want to be able to make and answer phone calls in my car using the Bluetooth connectivity, however, when I turn Bluetooth on, Google Now and Maps also try to send their audio to the car speakers, and either A) you can barely hear the voice, or B) it doesn't work at all and I hear nothing (this is especially true when I'm playing other music media in the car that isn't coming from the phone).
Is there any way (or is there an app) that can redirect Google Now and Maps to continue to use the phone speaker, while phone calls can go through the car? Right now it seems like it's the same setting to control both phone calls and audio output from apps.
