Hi all, expecially developers,
I need and app which can manage default device while taking phone call.
1. If i click to phone's screen to take a call, I must talk through phone. (Bluetooth headset must not take the call, or even my car)
2. If i click to my bluetooth headset when my phone ringing, I must continue to talk through my headset.
3. If i am in the car, some body called. If i click the car's screen or button to take the call, I must continue to to talk through car's speakers.
4. While i am talking through car, if i click to headset, Headset should take the call (Some times i have many people in the car and need to talk privately)
5. While i am talking through phone, if i open headset, or touch it if it is already opened/paired, headset should take over the call.
All above features already deafult in ios but not in android.
If somebody can make this app, I will be the first customer. I am sure that many others may buy.

Hi,
I searched the forum, wiki, etc., but didn't find an answer.
I have an AT&T Fuze with the stock ROM (WM 6.1). I know the Fuze is supposed to support multiple simultaneous bt connections. What I would like to do is connect A2DP to my Pioneer stereo for music playback, and also connect handsfree to my Jawbone 2 headset for phone calls while in the car.
I can successfully connect A2DP to my stereo for music by itself.
I can successfully connect HFP to my Jawbone 2 by itself.
I *have* managed to connect to both at the same time, by staying on an active phone call with my Jawbone, then telling my Fuze to connect to the car stereo. However, no music could be heard (from either Mortplayer or WMP). The phone call stayed up just fine though.
Anyone know if there's a way to get both working at the same time?
(And before you ask, I would just use the hands-free capability of my Pioneer stereo for phone calls too, but I've found my car is too noisy for anyone to hear me with the Pioneer's microphone unless I hold it right in front of my mouth, which defeats the "hands free" goal...)
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Best,
Chris
In your case I do not think that is possible since the concept of being able to juggle 2 devices at the same time requires 1 to relinquish control while the other goes active. It turns off the music so you do not get distracted while talking and reconects the music after the call is over.
It seems to be a software protocol if anything. Yes both can be connected at the same time, but both cannot be "active" as in doing both music playback and voice calls.
I have a bt headset that handles 2 profiles at once and according to the protocol, if a call comes in, it pauses my ipod and then picks up the call and then resets back to normal after the call.. Either you have to mess with the coding itself or someone has to come up with a workaround, but I do not think that is possible.
Thanks for the reply. I had hoped it might be possible for the Fuze to route stereo audio to one BT profile (A2DP), while non-stereo audio (e.g., phone call, system tones, etc.) to the HFP profile, almost as though the profiles acted as addressable "service ports" (ala HTTP, SMTP, etc.).
But, unlike with TCP/IP, I admit to knowing next to nothing about how the BT stack works and how profiles are applied to certain types of data (or, how data is routed to a given BT association based on profile).
Thanks again,
Chris
well the thing is.. the fuze can connect to multiple devices simultaneously, but based on the music and voice call order, it is prohibited from doing both at the same time. so therefore when there is no call, the music plays, but when a call comes it, the music is paused and resumed after the call is done. (obviously the call has higher priority here).
My only suggestion is to leave it as it is since it is done so that you do not get distracted while talking and probably while you're driving.
Multitasking is difficult when you're listening to 2 things, responding to 1, and driving at the same time. The more you multitask the less you are able to devote to your main activity (in your case, driving).
but yeah. if you can find someone who can mess with that and allow for both to be active at the same time, then congrats. Otherwise just think of it as a safety measure.
Except that, when I had both the headset and the stereo connected to the Fuze, the music *didn't* pause. It just didn't output (as though the volume was muted). In fact, in both Mortplayer and WMP, it appeared as though it was playing at ~2X the normal rate (just watching the track playback time counter).
I know what you're talking about re: listen to music, call comes in, music pauses, call ends, music resumes. That's the behavior I get when I use the car stereo for both handsfree and A2DP.
The behavior when connected to two different devices seemed to be different, though, so I hoped that might mean it was in fact possible.

yeah I know what you mean, but maybe the fact that it tried to do both tripped it up and so it took the call as a higher priority and focused the data towards the call.
atleast that is what I think.
I have almost the exact same configuration, except I am using a Sony car stereo but have a jawbone. What I have to do every time I get in the car is the following.
1. Let my stereo connect to both hands free and wireless headphone services.
2. Open bluetooth settings
3. Manually connect to my Jawbone.
It works great.
ATT Fuze
Energy Rom 072209
Old jawbone
Sony XPLOD Car Stereo
I'll also add it's pretty neat to be able to push the jawbone to activate MS Voice Commander and choose what music I want to play over my car stereo.

Thanks for the reply. I'll give that a shot. I'm not sure that my Pioneer stereo will automatically connect both handsfree and A2DP. I know it will do handsfree automatically. We'll see...

Does an app exist that will allow me to use my Android handset as a bluetooth headset for another phone? Use case: my hated work Blackberry in my pocket rings, and I'd like my Desire to mute what I'm listening to, alert me that the other phone is ringing and let me use the Desire to pick up the call.
Get a google voice and both phones will ring. You can seperate contacts to recive different voicemails just in case you don't answer in time that way nobody knows the difference. All your work emails will still goto the blackberry. The only difference is you can answer from both phones.
Actually I have a similar request. I have a motorbike and a navigation set on it. To this navigation set I can connect a bluetooth headset.
What I would like is using my HTC Desire as a bluetooth headset, since that is already in my pocket. Then I could just put the phone in my pocket, earpieces in and connect to the navigation system without the need of an additional bluetooth headset.
Any ideas? Is it even possible technically or does the phone need to have some special bluetooth profile for this to work?
+1 for an app like that. Would be awesome to connect my android device to my stereo and use my mac to stream audio to it!
I am very interested in this too as I would like to connect my phone to my pc and make phone act like a bluetooth headset so I can sit back and watch movies at night .
Hi!
I noticed (wasn't really hard to) that calls made from cars using stock Hands Free systems dramatically lowers sound quality on the listener's end. That is totally common, even in high end cars, although in those cases it is (a little bit) less annoying because to better soundproofing, but generally issue remains the same: no noise cancelling. It kind of strikes me, how can a tiny bluetooth headset have that feature, and $100k car not have it.
I pair my Galaxy s5 with my Subaru car audio system to play music via car speakers, but making calls and repeating every word 5 times is an utter misery for both sides of the conversation. Using unpaired phone or bluetooth headsets like Jabra is the only way i can make calls from my car.
So:
The question is, if there is a way to use phone's noise cancelling feature (third party apps?) for the calls while paired via bluetooth with my car's Hands Free? Can my phone process sound from my car's mic?

thought about maybe getting a bluetooth headset?
Very Clever! Thank You!
My next question is: how can I pair 2 bluetooth devices to my phone at the same time, so I can make calls on the BT headset and listen to the music from phone on my car audio without switching between them...
Just to clarify...
I meant connected. I know I can pair multiple devices with one phone, but there can be only one active connection at a time, am I right?

yes unfortunately you are.
to the best of my knowledge you can only have one active connection
As a new S3 classic owner, after coming from a Moto 360, I have a ton of questions. Probably the most important one is this:
I'm used to using the watch to say "call {john smith}", and have the phone place the call. BUT, is there a way to NOT route the call audio through the watch speaker? I wear hearing aids that are also bluetooth headsets and that's where I'd like to route the audio unless I'm driving, in that case use the car. I have a S7 edge and while there are settings for my headset and car for call and media audio, there is not for the gear s3. Is there an setting somewhere to allow me to place calls with the watch and have the call audio routed to my headset (or car)?
Or is the answer to return it and get an android wear watch? I'm still within the 14 day window at best buy. I like the hardware features of this watch, but Tizen is making me a little crazy because I'm so used to the ease of android.
Thanks for any information.

Maybe Settings > Connections > Bluetooth > BT Headset?
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA Labs
The key in my OP is that there are settings for the headset and car in bluetooth connections for call and media audio, but the only choice under the gear s3 in bluetooth is to disconnect, which disconnects everything. That means I CAN"T say 'call {whoever}' and have my phone make a call.
I am having issues figuring out how to best manage bluetooth on my device.
I use a bluetooth headset, and separate bluetooth headphones.
I am having the following problems:
1. If I am on a call and my headphones are on lying on my desk from an earlier music session, when I answer the call it goes to headphones. Thats OK, but sometimes I just want to speak on the phone. So I hit the bluetooth icon on my call screen to just speak into the handset. This works but after a few seconds it automatically keeps connecting unless I turn off the headphones. Is there any way to keep this from happening other than switching it off (which sometimes is a pain since it may be packed away in a bag, etc.)
2. Similar problem except between bluetooth devices. The call may get answered by my headset, and then during the call it ends up switching to the headphones. Is there any way to prioritize between two different bluetooth audio devices that are both connected in terms of which one you prefer to handle the phone calls?
Thanks.
