[Q] Force phone audio to phone earpiece when connected to Bluetooth device.

Hi, I recently flashed my phone (Galaxy Note 3) with CM 11 and my Galaxy Gear with null_23.
I connected the two of them via Bluetooth and everything seemed to work perfectly, until someone called me...
That was when I noticed that my phone forwards my audio to my gear speakers as it counts equivalently to any bluetooth earpiece. I tried unchecking Phone audio profile in bluetoth device settings but that completely disconnects my gear. (I should probably also mention the reason I want them connected is cause I'm using Bluetooth tethering for internet access on my gear).
I tried using an app I found called SoundAbout that forced audio device but it did so by (unchecking phone audio profile?) disconnecting the gear entirely.. which is not preferable.
I have been trying to search around for any info on how to do this, but all I've ever found has been to do the opposite, force bluetooth over other outputs.
Currently I have to change the output manually every time I answer/call someone, which takes a few sec where the other party wonders why I'm not responding..
I thought I would be able to change default phone audio output in my phone app or something, but no, no such setting is available.. its frustrating to be stuck with so little customisation even after invreasing it with a custom ROM... dang..
Thanks for any help!

Bluetooth redirect question

I am trying to set up my watch and have looked around everywhere and only getting a couple of dead end results. I am hoping someone has a solution or work around for what seems like a basic problem. I have the s3 frontier and it is connected via bluetooth to lgv20 and the lgv20 is connected via bluetooth to plantronics voyager legend headset. My goal is to quick dial a contact from the watch and it be routed over to the earpiece seamlessly. Right now when i try to swap the call the only options available are phone and dial pad, the third (bluetooth headset) is greyed out. If i swap to the phone obviously the call plays over phone and i need to manually make the change to plantronics from the status bar. Ofcourse all this changes after the call and reverts back and defeats the point anyway if im pulling out the phone in the first place. I have tried disabling the call profile from the s3 but that disables my ability to make the call in the first place, which is not an option. I tried third party apps to reroute the call and "soundaround" worked once, once. Any options or theories would be very much appreciated, this is like the core reason i got this thing and cant believe it would be such a hassle.

I also have the SAME PROBLEM and I also would appreciate any help...
In my case I have an OnePlus 3T + Gear S3 Frontier. I have used several BT headsets with same "bad" result.
Thanks in advance...

I have a Huawei P9 Plus + Gear S3 Frontier + Plantronics M55...... and SAME PROBLEM, i can enable "call profile" on S3 or Headset but not both.
When I connect S3 and headphones to a mobile samsung the "call profile" can be enabled on both, I tried it with samsung KZoom, and all works fine !!!
I wrote the assistance Samsung ... I hope he has a solution because the problem occurs with all bluetooth headsets, including the car's hands-free !!!

Answer/make calls with BT model

I have the Huawei Watch 2 Sport Bluetooth model and I am wondering if it is possible to answer and make calls through the watch's speaker via the BT connection to the phone? I've setup a "hard BT connection" to the phone meaning 'Phone audio' is checked in BT settings on phone and I've also enabled 'Play phone voice call on watch' on the watch, permissions should be all good and set to go, but still everytime I answer a call on the wrist I get a prompt saying to proceed with the call on the phone.
Is that really a limitation even though the watch has a speaker (and a mic)?

Hi Floordust,
Did you ever manage to fix this? I've the same issue.
Thx.

Hi, had the same issue. But in settings > connectivity > bluetooth disable the option to answer calls on your smartwatch and enable it again.
I think there was a problem once with an update or something else. But for now i can answer calls on my watch (i have just to be sure that he is correctly connected via Bluetooth to my phone because sometimes i connect to my car an after that bluetooth won't connect again with my watch) ï

Bluetooth/Audio codec issues (wired headset on phone)?

Hi everyone,
I've been having an issue off and on for months and it's really starting to drive me crazy. I've got a Gear S2 Classic with 3G and a Google Pixel on Android O.
At random intervals when the Gear S2 is connected, the phone gets confused as to what to do with audio - If I try making a voice call using my handset, no audio comes from the phone OR from my watch. The same happens if I receive a call and I try answering on the handset - it'll connect, but I can't hear audio, and the other party can't hear me.
At the same time, audio will play out of my phone - but not out of a wired headset if I plug one in.
It's certainly related to the Gear S2 - if I remove the Gear S2 plugins from my phone and restart, everything works fine, including Bluetooth headsets - but I can't, for the life of me, come up with a solution to the problem.
Restarting the phone in safe mode also tends to do the trick, but only as long as the Gear's not connected.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Question Music stops playing when getting a message

Hey everybody,
Every incoming notification stops the music eg. in Spotify or YouTube music, as the HU seems to automatically switch to Bluetooth music. Tried it with several smartphones. Anyone have an idea how to solve the problem?
Thanks to you
Device: Kingbeats K2 Plus, UIS7862

What did the seller suggest when contacted for support. What has been tried to resolve the problem

Seller is chinese, no answer after some support questions via whatsapp.
Tried another launcher and another smartphone.

In your phone bluetooth settings go to your head unit connection, I have 4 options: Calls, Audio, Contact access and Message Access. Try to switch off Audio option. If it is switchd off already I have no more idea.

That's a great idea and it worked. Unfortunately, I also listen to downloaded Youtube videos via Bluetooth, so this is not an option for me. But basically it works, thanks for that.
I have another idea which works for me:
I installed MacroDroid so that the wifi hotspot is always automatically activated and deactivated when I am connected to the FYT via Bluetooth. I added another action which sets the smartphone to "vibrate only".

I use MacroDroid as well to do exactly the same with my private motorola.
On my business Samsung I use the Bixby routines to do the same (and for once the Samsung bloatware is useful ).
