"OK google" doesn't work via bluetooth headset. - General Questions and Answers

Hi.
I can't get OK Google to work via my bluetooth microphone.
I have the Google app open and it says "say OK Google".
It works 10/10 when I say it directly into my phone.
When I press the microphone button manually, it picks up 10/10 commands via my bluetooth headset.
Ok Google detection is ON for the Google App. (and it works via phone)
Hands-free -> For bluetooth devices = allowed
"Record audio through bluetooth headset if available" = ON
When I do the "OK google voice model" guide, where it asks you to say OK Google 3x, it doesn't listen to my headset at all. It picks up nothing.
As I said when I press the mic button manually it works 10/10, there's nothing wrong with the bluetooth set or connection.
Any ideas?

[Q] BlueTooth Voice Dialer on Nexus S

Hi All,
All my searches on trying to find a resolution of Nexus S not working with Bluetooth voicedial have come up short.
Here's the problem:
I have tryed with multiple bluetooth devices.
The headset pairs fine.
The headset works fine when carring a conversation.
When holding the Voice dial on the BT Headset the "Blue Tooth Voice Dialer" prompt pops up on my nexus S
At which time it just does nothing. Like it doesnt even hear me speaking into the BT headset.
When I use the Voice Dial feature without Bluetooth it works fine, but whenever using a Bluetooth Headset (No Matter Which One) it will never dial a number.
Does everyone else have this issue on their Nexus S? If not, what is the difference between your set and mine? I'm just at a loss why the Nexus S will not work with Voice Dialing over Bluetooth.

Nokia BH-600 (an oldie, I know) works fine with voice dialing. This isn't particularly helpful, but it does work with some headsets.
When you hit the voice dial button do you get the "Speak Now" prompt in the BT headset?
Everything works except if I hit my button on my band new Bluetooth headeset. I got it working by using Clinton as my default for voice dialing. It works with the Bluetooth headset.

Google maps voice prompts

Hey all. Whenever I'm in my car my phone is connected to bluetooth so I can receive calls. However, Google Maps voice prompts default to bluetooth. The problem is that if I'm listening to FM then the voice does not come through the speakers (this is an issue with the system in my car). In those cases I want to have the voice prompts come through the phone speaker, but I can't find how to change it from bluetooth. It seems that if my phone is connected to bluetooth then I cannot play prompts through phone speaker. Anyone know how to change this?

I think if you go into the bluetooth setting and press the settings button for your car conenction and uncheck media audio it should stop the maps voice prompts being sent to the car. It will also stop you sending music to the car as well though.

Yeah that works thanks. It's not a very good solution tho. I should be able to have my voice instructions go to my phone speakers regardless of whether I'm streaming music or not. And I shouldn't have to change a setting on my UVO to stop it from going to bluetooth. Thanks tho.

voice assistant over a headset bluetooth?

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

Thanks for your answer techware7
Just to be more specific, are your headset for a motorbike helmet? which ones? cardo, btxnet....
Not sure if they use the same protocols, although they should.
Thanks

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.

Bluetooth audio output stops after Google Voice command

My bluetooth audio output stops after I issue a Google Voice command on my Galaxy S7 in the car.
Symptoms:
#1 Get in car, bluetooth connects, everything working fine, Podcasts, Phone Calls, Google Maps navigation all performing flawlessly.
#2 Open Google Voice and issue a command "Navigate to 225 Main St."
#3 Google Voice responds with the correct command, I initiate the navigation.
#4 Audio no longer comes through via bluetooth.
#5 Force the bluetooth to diconnect, re-connect bluetooth to car audio, all is well again.
I have 2 Galaxy S7 phones, it happens with both phones.
I have 2 cars, it happens in both cars.
Thought?

Bixby with Bluetooth headset

I cannot get Bixby to work while using a headset, I used Google voice while I drive but when changing to Bixby it won't register my voice at all, it's like my voice going through the phone mice and not the headset any one can help? It's a voyager 5200
Check the settings to see if there is any feature/setting where you can switch the mic for the voice command.
