I have been using the Nexus 5 for a day now, and have encountered the most annoying problem... When the phone is connected to my car bluetooth (toyota Rav4), any audio spoken back from the GoogleNow tool is way too soft/quiet. All other bluetooth audio however is great, loud and clear. For example, if I use GoogleNow to say Navigate to HomeDepot, it will respond back "navigating to HomeDepot" at a volume level way too low to even barely hear, but once the maps application opens and starts speaking directions, the audio is great. It is only the GoogleNow voice that is down too low... all other BT audio and apps are just fine. This happens for any audio from GoogleNow played back in BT.
Can anyone else repeat the same problem? It can't be hardware related, right, since all other BT audio works fine?
Any ideas to resolve are appreciated.

I have a Sony Ericsson A2DP Headset. It connects fine for both calls and for listening to music. There is however one small annoying issue.
If I'm listening to music (generally I have to have the volume up quite high) and a phonecall comes in and I take the call; something weird happens when the call ends.
The bluetooth connection is dropped and basically everyone in the vicinity gets and earful of whatever music I was playing before the call. This can be pretty bad if I'm sitting at one of our quiet, open plan offices. If I press the play buttin on my headset it reconnects and audio comes in over the headset again but it's not good to have to do this after every call.
Anyone else had this issue?
Thanks in advance.
Whenever I encounter a quirky bluetooth problem, deleting the pair relationship and repairing sometimes helps.
Works fine for me... Could be headset specific, as I use Motorola S9's and Plantronics 855's without the issue you're having.
It does it for me too. After the phone call the music is played through the phone's speaker for just a couple of seconds, then gets transferred to the headset in mono for a couple of seconds before reverting back to normal.
I can see this would be annoying if you were in a quiet place.

and me, funnily enough I have a Samsung MP3 player and the headset works perectly with that - good old HTC
I want to use Spype on my G Tablet - bought myself a bluetooth headset. I can connect no problem (can even toggle it on and off with the home screen button application) it beeps indicating the connection.
But when I do calls I doesn't use the mic and speaker of the headset. Matter of fact it seems like it messed up with my audio setting because my built-in speakers don't seem to work anymore.
Any thoughts?
Sometimes I have the same issue. If you want speakers back, try disconnecting from the Bluetooth device. If that doesn't fix it, just reboot. I just posted another comment about the impossibility to use a bluetooth headset, not just for output, but for audio input also. I guess this is because there's no HSP or HFP bluetooth profiles implemented on the g tablet, just a2dp, which is why it just can stream audio to an output device, like a bluetooth stereo headset or car audio. BTW, I discovered this when trying to achieve exactly what you tried to do, making calls using Skype.
I have a Bluetooth 2.0 headset. An LG HBM-210. For the life of me I cannot get it to work how I want it. I'm running Phoenix Blood v1.7 and Faux's 048 kernel. It works with the stock voice dialer but thats IT. Vlingo looks like it would be pretty sweet, but bluetooth voice input does not work for it for me. Nor does reading things back to me (like texts etc.). It uses the internal mic and internal speaker on the phone to playback. When I hit the mic on a text as well, it again only uses the phone's mic and not my bluetooth. Do I need a certain version bluetooth or something to get this to work? Or is there an app that may potentially be a fix for this (tried BTMono briefly). Thanks for any advice in advance.
Even Google Voice Search, only works through the internal phone mic... Same with speaking a destination in Google Navigation..... the ONLY app that works properly is the stock voice dialer. It will say "speak now" into my ear and then correctly picks up what im saying into the bluetooth mic and not the phone internal mic. So strange to me......
This is an issue with the Bluetooth implementation of the phone. I used to use super mono froyo to stream podcasts to my mono Bluetooth. It worked on my other androids, but not this one. You need to get an a2dp Bluetooth. I have a jabra stone 2 that works good except for the battery life. For streaming audio I only got an hour and a half battery life. However it comes with a little round dock to clip on your belt that recharges it. It might be good for the occasional YouTube video or voice dictation/ tts. The reason it only works with voice dialer is because that is built into the handsfree Bluetooth profile. A2dp is for music and stereo audio, I chose a mono a2dp for working purposes(not safe to cover both ears). Good luck!

I have a Plantronics Voyager Legend Bluetooth headset which I use with the Nexus 5.
(Almost) every time I make a call, the headset first blips and you can see in the dialer that Bluetooth is chosen for sound output.
But just after dialing, the audio is back at the phone (handset earpiece). So I have to switch to Bluetooth again. Then during calls, sometimes the audio is routed back to the phone again.
It always works when you move it back to the Bluetooth headset again but it is very annoying.
Phone has stock 4.4.2-latest.
Any other threads about this? Bugs @ Google? Couldn't find anything..
I guess it depends on the Bluetooth device you're using. My nokia bluetooth headphones work perfectly where as I face similar problems like you when I'm using it in my car.
Maybe try the app soundabout from the playstore. Seem to work (sometimes) on my N4 when I had phone audio problems.
Easy solution to my problem: Unpaired the headset and paired it again, now it works as expected!
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!
