[Q] Play Audio in Call (From Phone or Bluetooth device) - Android General

My Question is:
How can I play audio 'in call' so that the a person on the other end of the call can hear it?
Please do not respond to this question with "You can't". I Have done plenty of research and seen plenty of people saying you can't. This is why I am posting this question myself with some ideas to think about.
Nothing is impossible! It may be too hard for you to conceive, and if that is the case I hope you find it in yourself to hold back the urge to respond.
One fallback idea I had since I can not find any constructive information regarding playing the audio from the phone itself:
Could not a blue tooth device transmit a recording to your phone in call? (If it can transmit your voice, why could it not just as well transmit a recording of your voice? Imagine a bluetooth device designed to answer your call and play a short recording before you begin to speak)
One more time. Please only answer if you have any information that could help find more info on 'HOW TO' or info that would help further my research on how to.
Identifying the obstacles that prevent the phone from playing audio in call is constructive so long as you don't say "you cant because..." instead say something like "You would have to......because you can't do it this way or that way..."

Answering Calls from Handset

With the stock ROM from T-Mo when I had my BT enabled I could answer calls with the headset and the call would be on the headset but if I answered with the phone itself the call would be on the phone. I really like this feature because occasionly my phone would be closer than my headset so I could just hit the Answer soft key and use the phone. Does anyone know of a registry setting or cab file that would allow me to do this with Core 2.0 (or any other WM6 ROM)? My workaround for right now is to answer the call on the phone and then immediately turn off hands free, but the caller hears about a second of dead air and sometimes hangs up thinking the connection was bad... plus it's generally a pain in the a$$
TIA.
my advice, if you're in that situation just turn off yer bluetooth.... other than that i know of no such registry edit. perhaps someone else would care to chime in?
Thanks for the advice. It usually happens when i have my phone on my hip and my headset in my office while i'm going to get a cup of coffee... almost always i get stopped by someone who needs some sort of tech help along the way and my 45 second trip to get a cup of coffee turns into a 25 minute trouble shooting session with because the user "didn't make any changes to the system, it just stopped working"... i'm sure we've all heard that one... anyway, thanks for the advice, i'll keep looking for a solution and will post back if i find one, just in case anyone else is interested.
you mention that's it is on your hip a thought ame to my mind... map a button to toggle bluetooth. i.e. the camera button this way your bluetooth will turn on/off at a touch of a button.

[Q] Accessing call stream - How to? / Is it possible?

Hi all,
The effect I'm looking for:
While an open phone call, I'd like to be able to play sounds into the call stream so that (similiarly to the in-call DTMF tones) the sounds would be heard by the other party.
My questions:
1) Is this possible without modifying phone.apk (or what ever system .apk needed to gain access to the call stream)? Does it help if the device is rooted?
2) If not, is it at all possible? What would it take to achieve such an effect?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Need a solution too, looking into reflection.
This is rather old but I was wondering if there's any news? I searched for anything related to call, stream, DTMF etc. in XDA and everywhere else I could think of.
So far I found nothing. Is there really no way to send tones up the call stream?
I'm looking into the source code to see whether I can use some reflection, even just to see if it works. The best bet seems like CallManager..
It has 'SendDtmf' and 'StartDtmf' that automatically goes to the active call, gets the active phone from it and shoots up the tones.
HOWEVER I got stuck. Both methods keep returning false. Digging into it you see that both methods check whether there are any active calls before sending anything. So I tested it myself and here lies the issue - 'HasActiveFGCalls' (and HasActiveBgCalls too) returns false no matter what.
In fact, getting the full call list (getForegroundCalls) always gives me an empty list.
I tested it on my phone (SGS, CM7) and on the emulator on several versions. Same results - always no active calls regardless of whether the phone is in a call or not.
I'm at a loss here. Seems like this is as far as I can go with my knowledge at the moment.
So... anyone has any clue regarding this?

Auto read message

Hey every1, so i just figured out wp7 actually can read message if you turn it on it settings
The thing is, the only way when it's really useful for me - when i'm riding a bike and listening a music via headset. The thing is my headset doesn't have a microphone. When i receive a message when i'm riding - i can't say read it, i still need to pick up the phone, so maby there's a way to get rid of "read it or no" - just read it without asking(if the headphones are on)?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
not possible at the moment unless MS gives us the option in the future or somebody writes an app that integrates with MS speach to allow this.
Until then have a look at this post. if you make the arm flexible and long enough and turn the phone upside down in the holder you can do exactly what you need. You could even use voice commands to manage your smartphone

question about calling

Hello Guys and Girls....every so often when i'm checking out custom roms...i will come across an option that will allow me to video call someone. Everytime i tried it out...i hear the phone ringing, see myself and then it hangs up. What is this program about? And what are the proper uses for it? I'm sorry but i don't know the exact name for the program, it's pretty much the standard phone dial pad but with a video feature.

2015 Honda CR-V EX-L and bluetooth

I have posted a similar post in the CRV Owners forum, but I thought this forum would make more sense since it's filled with a bunch of hardware-hacking programmers!
The interface between my car and my phone (LG G2 Lollipop stock) is abysmal. I have seen a number of posts on the web about this issue with modern cars, but no real solutions. The following is a list of what I would like the interface to be between the phone and car. Then at the end of the email I'll flame a little about the "why"s.
GIve me a button to allow me to talk to my phone directly without the HondaLink getting in the way. There was a similar issue with a Volkswagon and a solution using Tasker to intercept the call. That solution doesn't work with my Honda and is a kludge.
Always have the phone interrupt the radio (whether it's a call or audio, e.g. Google maps navigation). For me, the information coming from the phone will always be more important than the music or talk show on the radio.
Mirror the phone screen onto the car screen when I'm driving (so I can see my map when I need to)
When I receive a call, let the phone do the talking (the phone can speak the caller's name to me and can send the caller's name over the bluetooth connection) and let me hit a button to answer it.
Has anyone successfully hacked into the firmware/software in the CV-R to fix these issues? Is it possible? At this point, based on my research, I see no other option. If there is another option that doesn't involve replacing the system or "just dealing with it," I'd love to hear it.
The "why"s:
My phone is custimizable, has all of my contacts, recognizes my voice, has GPS, accurate and up-to-date maps, and does everything that I need a phone and navigation system to do. The Honda solution tries to duplicate all of that functionality and does it very poorly. As one user wrote last year, my $50 bluetooth headset can listen to my phone and pipe in navigation directions and let me know when I get a call. It is a joke that an expensive car can't even get that part right. The fact that I can't put my phone screen on the car screen while I'm driving is idiotic. Now I've got to find some way to hold my phone up for navigation. I don't want this post to degenerate into a series of posts and counter-posts on whether drivers can handle the increased cognitive demand. I've been driving long enough to see that the majority of drivers are not paying any attention at all to the road anyway and no one seems to care.
The hardware in the CR-V seems to be capable of doing the things that I have listed above. So, if the Honda programmers can't get it the way I want it, the only solution is to take the programming away from them and do it ourselves. Has anyone done this yet?
Thank you in advance for your help.
