App that lets you hear AND respond to notifications via Bluetooth - General Questions and Answers

There's an app called SpeakMe that works fairly well for playing phone notifications over your Bluetooth earpiece. However, it'd be great if there was a way to reply to those with voice-to-text via the Bluetooth earpiece. Is there any app that does this?

[Q] Skype + Bluetooth Headset

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.

Bluetooth Audio and Mic

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..?

waze app and bluetooth speaker

Hi,
Is there any possibility to set that the sound/voices from the app will play through my Bluetooth headset of speakerphone in my car, on a regular basis?
At the moment, just when I'm in conversation, the sounds are also coming out from the Bluetooth speakerphone.
But if I don't in a call, then the sounds goes out only from the speaker of the phone,
and then I don't always hear them becouse my radio is in the background for example.. etc ...
I use a device LG G2.
Thanks in advance!

Keeping A2DP app in the background?

Is there a way to keep the A2DP audio app running in the background even while other music plays? I just want to be able to hear notification noises from my phone while driving, and not have to switch to the A2DP app just to hear a voice message (like one sent on WhatsApp) because my phone is paired to my head unit. Is this possible somehow? I have rooted firmware installed.
Did you ever find a solution for this? I am having this issue too.

Question bluetooth & notifications through phone only

Hello
When I have my bluetooth ear buds connected, I only want audio/calls coming through.
I don't want notification sounds (like a new email or chat message) coming through the ear buds.
Any way to do this?
I use Bixby routines as well, so if the solution is through routines, I can.
Thanks.
What about Separate app sound in Settings and set these apps to have notifications only on the phone, not in the Bluetooth ear buds?

sort of would work but not really
for example, I don't want to hear incoming notifications for whats app
but if I select whats app to play through phone only, then I cannot hear voice messages or videos received in whats app
In Goodlock's Sound Assistant, the reverse option is there. Play alerts through headphones only.
I want the opposite.
I've been wanting this feature for ages, but for a different reason.
Every time I'm in my car, or other vehicle, my phone connects over Bluetooth and I hear NO notifications, unless the car head unit is streaming using the Bluetooth.
So if I'm just listening to radio, the notification audio seems to be sent over Bluetooth and doesn't come out anywhere.
There really should be a notification manager that sets the rules or something.

yep
same issue more or less
When connected to bluetooth and Android 13/One UI 5, I can control output of sound between phone or bluetooth but thats with apps (like whats app, youtube, chrome, reddit, etc etc).
