My car is a Nissan Rogue 2012 and it does not have A2DP for bluetooth and only allows phone calls to go through my speakers in my car. Lately when i use the bluetooth calling through my car it has not been working. Well I decided to do the "Ok Google" voice command through my phone and my car picked up the audio as if it was in a phone call and the response was played over my car speakers. This has never happened before and is a great addition. Does anyone know if the new Google Search update added this feature for some reason? Anyone else having the same thing happen to them?

*this is not a advertisement. this is a solution if you cant hear gps while driving.
Has anyone been able to use any type of bluetooth headset with the xoom and skype or google video?
I never have been able to, and was hoping that the latest update would allow it. I can hear through it around 50% of the time but they can never hear me.
Thanks.
i use my bluetooth headset with google talk in video mode. Was a pain in the ass to get it to work, but google talk does support headset protocol.
Same problem here with skype, at first I could hear the ringing thru the headset but once the call connected I got nothing
XOOOOOOOMIN!
btmono in the market sends audio. I've heard it also routes mic input from the headset, but haven't tried. Give it a shot.
I use my N5 in my car which has built-in bluetooth (Ford Focus, 2011 w/ sync).
The in-car speakerphone mode works great. However, the car doesn't send audio to the phone other than during a call. And since the phone sees a BT headset connected, it disables its own mic. So things like google now and voice commands don't work. And the car does voice-commanded dialing through its own phonebook rather than the phone's phonebook. So I have to regularly sync the two to keep the car's database updated.
Is there a way to have the N5 use the car only as a A2DP and AVRCP device, until a phone call comes in, and then switch over to a headset profile? That way I could still use the phone's mic for voice commands but have the car's speakers/mic handle calls.

I think you can do it with Utter! and Tasker.
Sent from my Nexus 5
Not sure what utter is needed for - I will look into getting tasker to do it.
The G3 seems to use the phone mic, not the Bluetooth headset mic for all audio input. I don't recall having this issue with my S5. I know this used to be a huge android issue but I though they had this worked out. The issue is that when I hit the button on my Bluetooth headset to place a call or whatever, the G3 switches to the phone mic for input. The problem is that if your phone is in your pocket, it can't hear you. Can anyone confirm this? Does anyone know of a solution?
After trying just about every voice recognition and control app on the play store I think I can say with certainty that the only app that, on the G3, is able to use the microphone on a Bluetooth headset for input is the Google app. Unfortunately this is not the Google Now app, it's the older Google app which is limited to phone only calls via voice command and requires umpteen confirmations before your call is placed. I'm pretty sure this is an android limitation at this point and is in no way confined to the G3 alone. sigh...
Would this be a function of the make/model of Bluetooth device in any way?
I use google now, dialer pad, voice dial, etc. through my Plantronics earpieces (carry 3 for work, on phone a lot) with the g3 in my pocket, and I have no issues w/BT mic.
I use an LG tone Pro headset as well as the Sync function in my Ford Explorer and both work just fine when connected via BT. Also, I can use voice commands thru my LG G Watch, so I think you may have an issue related to your phone.
What have you "done" to it? Rooted? Xposed MODs? Etc..?
Hi,
I've just sold my G3 and the more I read the more I like the idol 3.
But I have one concern I can not solve.
as a motorbike rider I need to be able o initiate calls from the headset on the helmet.
does any one have tested this.
use the headset not just for paying music but also to start the voice assistant and say things like "call dad". "text carla" "play all songs"
The really important part is the calling texting is just for change the command.
can any one try that?
Thank you

No they aren't; one is a taotronics earphone, other is an LG tune pro headset and the other one is a sennheiser headphone. I click a button and just talk with Google Now. I have this app setup to allow Google Now (instead of stock voice calls) to be my voice assistant. The app is called BT Gnow. Is great for handsfree operations specially when I'm running cable drops... With Google Now you get over 100 voice commands and with BT Gnow you can do it with the screen off via Bluetooth.

Using BT Gnow does google's response come back through the bluetooth speakers? When in my car I can say "ok google, call xxxx at home" and it will but I can hear it responding from the phone but the sound doesn't come through the car's audio...once the phone call starts ringing the sound DOES come through the speakers.

Google response is heard via Bluetooth and not the cellphone: So say I have my LG headset paired, I can talk and hear everything from my LG headset using Google now.
One more question.
finally I bought the idol 3 and I'm loving it.
but with the headset when I press the button to activate voice recognition
I've got a grey screen that sais something like "starting" or "inizializing" (sorry my phone is configured in spanish)
and also through the headset I hear a voice that sais wait.
I've waited many minutes but nothing happends do you know what is going on there?
