Hey Guys,
I have an issue with my Fuze and am hoping there is a simple setting that may help me out.
I have an Xlink Bluetooth gateway in my home, and have a Jag XK with bluetooth. Previously I had an 8525 where the bluetooth worked well.
I got the Fuze and I thought all was well. But for the last week, when I get an incoming call the blue tooth rings (houseline on XLink or XK Radio), but when I connect the call I get dead silence.
I can make outgoing calls via bluetooth and both devices work fine.
On the Fuze, if when ringing i hit answer on the phone, rather than the car stereo occassionally it connects.
Since I have the same issues (silent connection) when connecting via Xlink or XK I figured it must be an issue with the phone.
Any thoughts or ideas ?
Thanks
Dave
The issue is with Voice Command not with phone. If you update Voice Command to 1.6.19209 it will fix your issue. The other option is to turn off Announce incoming Calls option.
Update Voice Command
The phone has version 1.6.19971 --- So that would be a downgrade not an upgrade....
Does that still make sense ?
Dave
You've tested that specific version and it works? NATF said he tried his version from his Tilt and it didn't work. Please confirm!
Nice work!
You guys are really on it! I started noticing this problem today after enabling 'announce incoming calls' yesterday... didn't even occur to me. So I disabled it as per your suggestion, and it's working fine. Thanks very much for that. If I wanted to roll back to that earlier version, where could I find it? I still have my Tilt which I upgraded to 6.1 (battery's probably dead)... could I get the .cab off of it? Do we know for certain the earlier version works? Thanks again.
We were on it for a long time. You'll see multiple posts about that.
Okay bear with me here. I recently got the Samsung Galaxy S2 and generally I am very pleased with the phone and all of its functions, HOWEVER my one and only gripe with it is the lack of functions with the Bluetooth. My previous phone was a Nokia X6 and on that phone in Bluetooth mode I could get phone ringing, email notification tone and messaging tone through the headset (Plantronics) which was ideal as my job needs me to have the phone on silent, so if an email or message arrived I would get the tone through the earpiece. Problem with the Galaxy S2 is that only the phone ringtone comes through the earpiece so I have to periodically check the phone for messages. I have trawled through various forums for an answer but to no avail. Is there an app for this or a upgrade somewhere. This problem was evident in original format Gingerbread, Phone now running Android 4.0.3 Omega v11.1 Black Blue - XWLP8 problem still exists
bumped for a posible answer
I'd love to get an answer to this too. I have a Razr Maxx and Motorola Finiti head set as well as s10 headphones. With both all email or text alerts go thru the phone speaker. Really wish they would go to BT.

I suppose this topic has been beaten to death, but I would appreciate the wisdom and advice from the users of this forum. I am new to android, having just upgraded to an HTC Raider with Bell Mobility in Canada. The phone came originally with Gingerbread, with an optional upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich. Eagerly, and without thinking I immediately upgraded. Please be patient, I am getting to the point
I drive a truck for a living and require hands free. Stopping for messages or calls is too time consuming. I am currently using Sonalight Text By Voice. It works on my phone (most of the time), but only covers 3 of the 4 main functions I require by voice (voice dialing, SMS reading, SMS composition). The fourth, caller ID, is not available in the app. I am using this with a Jawbone ERA in the truck, but the truck is so loud, the app can't hear my voice over the noise. I am considering purchasing a Motorola finiti headset, as it has stealth mode, which I need in my truck; and it has caller ID built in for contacts. I realize that the finiti has not been well received by many, but I'm thinking with stealth mode, my voice apps and callers will be able to hear me over the noise in the truck. I spoke to Motorola and was advised that stealth mode can be turned on when not on a call, to communicate with the phone. I hope that wasn't "motospeak". If Motorola was blowing smoke when they said stealth mode can always be on, perhaps you can let me know.
On the software side, I have downloaded everything that even smells like a voice caller ID app. So far nothing works with my phone over bluetooth. Many of the more popular apps (Enhanced SMS & Caller ID, etc) advertise the fact that their apps will not work with bluetooth in ICS. Given this situation, I feel rather foolish for upgrading to ICS without thinking about the consequences.
This has been a rather long post from an android newbie. I am hoping that you can show me the way to a solution, or tell me there isn't one and say "stop banging your head against the wall".
I'd like to thank you all in advance for any help you have to offer.

Hi I agree with you 100% and have the same problem. However there does not seem to be any help responding to this problem. I would think that some developer would have the solution to this. Thanks JC
As the developer of Enhanced SMS & Caller ID, I can add some more info. This feature appears to work on Nexus devices but not any others (in our app with specific settings mentioned in my FAQ). I have created some bug reports in the AOSP and invite everyone else to add their comments to thw report so that Google takes it seriously. This is a very important feature for those in vehicles and with accessibility issues.
I know that the Nexus 5 now supports Bluetooth MAP which enables your car system (I have UVO in mine) to read text messages. I can't get this working however and I'm wondering if the Hangouts SMS integration has somethings to do with it. Does anyone have their N5 transmitting text messages to their audio system in their car?

My bluetooth car stereo has the same functionality and i've never been able to get it to read texts or even give me a notification that I have a text message. Its unfortunate. I know it works with iPhone. The other troubling thing is that the voice dialer on the car automatically pulls up the old decrepit "Voice Dialer" when I'd prefer to use Google Now. I wish there was a way to make it use Google Now.
I just tested it on my Kenwood DNX unit which is supposed to use MAP but no luck, everything except for SMS works.
Do we know for sure that Nexus 5 has MAP profile enabled?

My stereo also uses MAP, but no luck. Are you able to get Google Now instead of voice dialer for voice calling?

Works perfectly on my Ford focus. Are you sending SMS messages? Or hangouts messages. Might make a difference?

SMS option doesn't enable itself. The deck asks for permission to access phonebook and history but nothing regarding sms.

I have had the dnx for 2 years and used tons of phones with it. The only one that the SMS ever worked on was my atrix2. I didn't check with my iPhone 5s, but maybe I will later tonight. So it doesn't matter what app it was doing the text messaging. I think its just a problem with the dnx and most devices.
I never said it didn't work at all for any device with any car.

Just updated my DNX7190 with latest bluetooth firmware from couple of weeks ago. Still no luck, SMS icon is greyed out. I'm guessing these Kenwood units do not fully support MAP.
SMS+CAR App from market works great, I have tried on Galaxy S4 and Nexus 5 without any problem, It can read SMS, Whatsapp, Gmail, voicemail or can auto reply your pre configured message. Hope this helps

We're talking about using SMS on our car multimedia receivers.
Looks like Kenwood is stuck in the past and uses old GSM AT commands instead of MAP. What would be needed is a custom rom that can handle these or an app that could listen for them and respond accordingly.
Seriously SMS not working over Bluetooth
I also can't get the SMS to work over Bluetooth in my uConnect Jeep. I suspect it has something to do with Google Hangout SMS integration. If anyone figures out a work around please reply, I love the Nexus 5 but no SMS integration over Bluetooth is unacceptable. Time to start considering moving back to my S3.
Works just fine in my Honda. Although I hate.

I have my Nexus 5 paired with Garmin Nuvi 3490 through BT. The Nuvi does successfully show text messages stored on the phone.
Garmin's implementation is extremely crash-prone, and text mesage support sometimes disappears without any explanation, but it is a Garmin's problem. The phone seems to function as it is supposed to, i.e. BT MAP is there and it works.
Works fine in my 2013 Civic. I did not have to do anything special after pairing with Hands Free Link.
I hate to bring up an old thread, but has anyone found a way to get this working? I had a Nokia 925 that I upgraded to 8.1 and it would read texts through my Uvo system in my Optima. Since I went back to the Nexus 5, I don't even see the option for the MAP profile in the bluetooth settings. SMS is enabled on my car audio system.
Some question I wish to know as I'm planning to buy Gear S3 Frontier in the future.
For example, I'm using Huawei Mate 9.
1. I'm confused in people saying making call and receiving SMS don't work, and some say work, exactly which one is true? Is it that you can accept call but can't start call from the watch?
2. Any one that uses What's App, Wechat, Hangout, specially Facebook Messenger etc, are you able to do reply to these apps(like in notification area)? Like not only the quick message, to be able to type manually on watch and reply (Voice or Keyboard)?
3.In relation to question 2, how well it work with remote connection?
Thanks.
I have a Pixel and a Pixel XL. I can initiate and answer calls fine on my non-LTE S3. I can start and respond to messages as well. I haven't tried the other apps you mentioned.
I'm on a htc 10, lineage OS and I'm unable to initiate calls or send SMS with s voice
I have HTC ONE M8, answer to both of your questions is yes it's working fine, connected via Bluetooth, phone calls sms replying as well as initiate call or sms. WhatsApp and other can receive and reply but cannot initiate new message.
(Didn't tested when connected to same WiFi network.)

Ah that's good to know. As for what's app or facebook messenger. Reply is all I need. Hardly initiate message on watch.
Thanks guys. Good to know it's working well with other phone.
Two more things I wish to know.
1. If I accepted a call with watch, can I redirect it to phone directly on watch or I have to manually go to phone and choose to not use Bluetooth in that caller screen?
2. If I have a Bluetooth headset connected to my phone for example. I answer call using watch but can the call go through headset instead? What if i accepted the call using the Bluetooth headset button instead of watch. Will the audio re route properly?
Thanks

Yes I'm on stock rom (switched back to stock due to same issues)
I am using Xperia Z5 initiate calls works fine from watch by finding contact and tapping phone icon on watch, using s-voice its very hit and miss. Can initiate texts from watch by going to contact and tapping the envelope button, initiating texts with s-voice requires samsung phone ('send text message to xxxx' gives 'sms service is unavailable) can reply to texts, etc but only while notification is present, after notification cleared have to start from scratch. Its all pretty poor overall tbh.

Can't help enough as not tested in detail.
In Bluetooth settings headset gives both options for phone audio and music
But watch gives only phone audio (so music sound can't come from watch, only music control possible)
And
If I select phone and music both for Bluetooth headset, then watch disconnect by itself as it wants phone audio.

You can use on screen KB, handwriting recognition (us english only), smileys, canned response or s-voice to reply.

Btw. When you set the reminder, are you able to set for example. Today February 1. And I wish to remind myself to buy something on February 3. Can I do that? I hear it's strictly within the day only.
How many languages to the watch support tho? Does it support Japanese by any chance?
Does it have auto brightness?
I can say now that I went back to full stock rom, everything is working fine now. I can make and answer calls. I wished someone had told me earlier. I been calling Samsung support for days and they havent been anymore useful then the manual, telling me I needed the lte model to answer calls
On my mate 9, I can Not make a call through the watch neither reply to message text... Things I was able to do with my S6.
Probably due to emui and his special dialer.
But I can read SMS and email anyway

Oh Dang. The inability to make a call due to mate 9 might be deal breaker. Are you able to view incoming caller name/number and accept call? Had you try third party dailer to see if it work? Since you have mate 9 and gear s3. Are the reply options from notification work? Like manually type or hand writing reply incoming What's app, hangout and Facebook messenger. And also, do the music player remote control work with stock music player? Do it display the current track playing properly?
Thanks
Just to be clear, there are two versions of the Frontier, one has an LTE radio. The LTE model is able to handle calls, texts, and run apps like Spotify without being connected to a phone. The BT model must be tethered to a phone in order to do these functions. Both models need to be connected (via BT or cellular) to a phone in order for notifications (ie. Hangouts, email) to pass through.
Gear S3 with Mate 9

I know this question was from weeks ago but as I also have a S3 with a Mate 9, maybe I can help a little bit:
Everything works, including getting all notifications and asnwering them from the watch, and making and receiving calls in the watch. I have the S3 BT only model. My Mate 9 is with stock rom. Samsung Gear Manager working perfectly.
I have just one issue: sometimes, when I make a call using the phone, the call is automatically routed to the watch, without my permission, and it seems there is not any configuration or parameter to force all calls to not be routed to the watch. Of course it is easy to bring the call back to the phone (using the BT button in the dial), but as I initiated the call from the phone, it should not be redirected to the watch at the beginning. And this is something that happens eventually, not allways. It seems to be some kind of bug. I read about the same issue in other threads (S3 with other non-Samsung phones) here in XDA but could not find a definitive solution yet. If somebody can help on this, I would appreciate.

I'm using a Pixel XL as well and I'm planning to buy one. What limitations do you encounter when pair to the Pixel? Samsung Pay is also one of my reasons to buy this. Is it fully functional?
UPDATE:
Samsung Pay fully functional. But there are limitations if you use Gear S3 with non Samsung phone and BT headset (mine is Level U Pro ANC).
1. Call profile could only be activated either on the watch or level u pro, but not both simultaneously. If you choose to keep call profile on BT headset, you can use the headset for calling, but you cannot initiate call or answer call from watch. If you choose to keep call profile on watch, you cannot use BT headset for calling. That's also the case with car BT.
2. You can receive and reply to SMS on watch. But initiating SMS is a different story. No built in SMS so on watch so you can use watchface with messages shortcut to initiate sms, BUT all sms you initiate thru the watch WILL NOT REFLECT on the sms thread on the phone itself (Android Messages).
3. You cannot see your SMS history as well.
