Bluetooth audio output stops after Google Voice command - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

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?

[Q] Switch from bluetooth audio to headset profile when call comes in?

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.

Not sure what utter is needed for - I will look into getting tasker to do it.

[Q] Bluetooth & Google Now Not Working Correctly

Hey guys, I'm trying to help a friend out, maybe you guys can help? :
"I have a strange issue where spotify stops me from being able to record through google now on a nexus 5.
I use my phone + spotify in an interesting way with my car bluetooth. I have two bluetooth connections running simultaneously (because my car only natively supports phone audio and not media audio). One is obviously the car for calls and the second is a bluetooth adapter kit for my head unit (made by GROM).
Now that google now supports voice through bluetooth in my car. When i press the mic the bluetooth audio swaps to my cars integrated system (bluetooth connection 1) and waits for input.
Usually (when i was using google music last month) google now would do its search and start playing my music again. However when spotify is active in memory and i force a voice input into google now the audio starts to play out of bluetooth connection 1 and swaps between connection 1 and 2 not actually allowing me to say anything (seems to flood the mic).
The only way i could make it stop wanting to play what was last played in spotify was to kill the service and then activate the google now voice prompt."

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.

[Q] Use Phone Microphone When Connected to Bluetooth Stereo

I've been setting up voice commands recently for use in my car. I have an HTC One M8, but I don't think my issue is device specific (this isn't really an issue per say, but a tweak that I think should be possible).
What currently happens is my phone connects to the stereo using A2DP bluetooth. It plays music and takes phone calls as it should. When I initiate a voice command, the music is paused, the stereo displays "voice ctrl", and the command is heard through the stereo microphone. The issue with this, is the stereo does not return to playing music after the command. I have to press the call button on the stereo to return to the music.
What I would like to have happen is when a voice command is initiated, the media volume is reduced (using Tasker), and the phone microphone is used without triggering the stereo.
I've searched a fair amount, but haven't found any solution for defaulting to the phone mic when bluetooth is connected. I'm convinced there has to be a way to do it, what am I missing?
Solved it once
I have a Htc Desire 600, and my way of solving it is at the call menu there are small icons while on call, there's a bluetooh option, phone option and a handsfree option, i kept the phone option on default, hope that helps
Cheers!

[Q] Bluetooth issue - other bluetooth apps?

Hello all
One of the issues I have with Bluetooth on this phone is that the controls aren't granular enough. I want to be able to make and answer phone calls in my car using the Bluetooth connectivity, however, when I turn Bluetooth on, Google Now and Maps also try to send their audio to the car speakers, and either A) you can barely hear the voice, or B) it doesn't work at all and I hear nothing (this is especially true when I'm playing other music media in the car that isn't coming from the phone).
Is there any way (or is there an app) that can redirect Google Now and Maps to continue to use the phone speaker, while phone calls can go through the car? Right now it seems like it's the same setting to control both phone calls and audio output from apps.
