The S3 is connected to the phone for bluetooth calls, so is there a way to simulate the way a bluetooth headset lets you press and hold a button to activate your phone's voice control? I want to be able to activate an app and then speak to google on the phone through the watch. Is this possible?

I have an htc Touch Pro which I've paired with my car's handsfree controls, which is fortunate for me, because my state has recently mandated the use of handsfree controls while driving.
When I'm not driving, I know that I can save battery power by turning off my phone's bluetooth.
Unfortunately, I frequently forget to re-start bluetooth before getting behind the wheel, and I suspect it's quite illegal for me to be clicking the normal "Start\Programs\Comm Manager\Turn on Bluetooth" while driving.
Are there alternate ways to start and stop bluetooth? Or hacks to create an alternate control for bluetooth? It would seem fairly obvious to use the phone's built-in Voice Command, but the command to "Turn On Bluetooth" is not recognized.
Thanks!
I have a Plantronics Voyager Pro+ which I have been using with my old Galaxy S running Cyanogenmod, and it worked pretty much as described in the user guide for the headset.
Call/Answer button - one touch to answer, one touch to (voice) call, double press to redial last number.
Vol up/down press both to mute, press both again to unmute.
Well, with my Nexus 5 pretty much nothing works.
Call/Answer button seems to be ignored.
Vol up/down simultaneous press starts music, press both again and music stops.
So is there *any* support for bluetooth call control in 4.4.2/Nexus 5?
Any suggestions how to be able to at least able to answer initiate a call via the bluetooth buttons?
It works fine with my LG HBS730 headset and the Sync system I am testing in a rental car.
Under Settings -> Bluetooth -> Paired Devices, have you checked the Profiles for your headset? Both Phone audio and Media audio are checked on mine. I did not do anything special when I paired the devices.

So you say yours works ... you can answer an incoming call by clicking a headset button? You can initiate a call by pressing a button to get the voice dialer activated, select your number by voice and have it initiate the call? No touching the Nexus at all?
And yes, both phone and media boxes are checked.
Hmmm... deleted the device, re-paired, and it now works ????
Thanks for the feedback, without knowing that it was possible to get it going, I probably would never have tried that.
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.
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.
Hi, I just bought e nord 2 (but the question is applicable to any phone I think). I had a P20, and when connected to my car, (nissan qashqai J11) I was able to use steering wheel command to call up android assistant on phone, and it answer either if the infotainment device wasn't in aux/bluetooth mode. Now with the oneplus, it only works when in bluetooth input, or better, I can hear assistant voice only in that mode and putting the volume very high.
I think the difference between the two devices is that P20 send assistant output to the car as it was an incoming call, while op send it as a music stream or something so.
Here the question: is there some settings or some app that let me to send the assistant audio as a voice call over bluetooth?
Thanks!
