Bluetooth only for calls? - Atrix 4G Accessories

So I got my hands on the xbox 360 bt headset and wanted to use it with the built in voice search app. However I can't find a way to make it work with voice search reliably.
With or without headphones plugged in
In or out of the car dock
Rebooted phone
Played with bt toggle
Basically it only. Works with youtube spotify and maybe phone calls. However it did work when I first paired it with my phone.
Just audio play back
Alien build 4
At& t

Detail bump
Had a chance to use my phone in an extended phone call and confirmed the bt microphone can be used during calls.
Trying to develop a test to prove the mic isn't working in a car dock or for voice search and will post again with method and results.
-right now I'm thinking rubber band and dense cloth or maybe some non conductive gelatin used for cleaning keyboards.

New details bump.
The microphone suppression tests failed to stress the microphone so now my only proof the microphone doesn't work in my car is the difference in performance when it does and does not

have you tried toggling the device settings in bluetooth settings? tap & hold device till option window pops up and selecting phone/media? there can also be a conflict if there is another bluetooth device connected using the same selection.

There is no secondary bluetooth device and the settings toggle had little to no effect

Switched from alien to darkside rom so my results may change but are promising so far

I noticed the same thing. I recently started using a Bluetooth again and it amazed me that it didn't work. Unfortunately, I lost my good headset (the one that used to work) so I can't test it. I can confirm however, that Bluetooth did work for all audio and voice functions on the stock ROM and some of the deblur ROMs from the 2.2 days.

Bluetooth always on?

How do I make it so my Bluetooth headset will be used when i press the mic icon in the keyboard? Basically I want all sound to come through the Bluetooth (notifications, etc) and the Bluetooth to always be used as the mic no matter what I'm doing.

Rocketfish Mobile RF-MAB2 bluetooth

Can someone tell me how to get my Mobile RF-MAB2 connected to answer the phone. It sounds great playing media, hooks right up.
When a call comes the media stops, but will not take call. The bluetooth icon is grayed out, on the call display buttons.
This is driving me crazy.
DROID x Gingerbread not rooted
Thanks for any help.

[Q] Bluetooth with Aux Cable

I saw that this had been asked once before, but no suitable answers were given unfortunately. On my old Evo, I could play music through my stereo via aux cable, and the phone would switch to Bluetooth for calls. This meant cutting the music, and transferring to both the mic and earpiece for audio omy bluetooth.
Currently, the audio on my ET4G doesn't transfer to the bluetooth headset, but instead comes out of my car speakers. Any workarounds to get the call pushed to Bluetooth when it comes in, or am I stuck just unplugging the 3.5 mm jack?
For your info, I'm currently rooted and running Starburst 1.98, although I'm willing to change that if it can help with the issue. Thanks!
I've been wondering about this too. Seems like you can still talk through the BT headset, but the person you are talking to comes through the speakers instead of the headset.
And I am still completely stock and not rooted BTW.

Hmm . . .audio still coming through speakers for me.
It works while i'm my car dock so I guess it won't work through the headphone jack

you guys got it figured out yet, got the same problem
and havent found a solution....
did a search within the ET4G forums with the term "headset" and this is the best result..

Is it possible to program or access more Bluetooth commands?

When I had a crackberry and had it paired with my Bluetooth on my car I could hit a button on the module in my car and it would launch voice dialing on the berry. With an android phone it doesn't. I am wondering if there was a way or an app that could monitor for the button or give me the same Bluetooth config of the berry so I could gain that back.
I love hands free dialing and I've tried apps like vlingo but they seem too unusuable still.
Any suggestions here would be great!

You should check out tasker, it can pick up blue tooth commands and perform what you want.

Unfortunately that didn't work for me very well.
It seems like the button in question doesn't register on android at all.
Not sure if that's the 'fault' of the car's audio system or a weakness int he btooth apk.
Oh well.
Probably should just get a headset.

I have Sony MW600 connected to my phone, and when I push the hang up button on that one, voice calling starts up.

Groove IP

Anyone tried Groove IP on the N7? (or any other "phone" app?). Wondering how sound quality is through "speakerphone".
I can't tell you about the sound quality on the internal speakers but the apps is working great via Bluetooth

I tried it out. It works fine and seemed better to me than some of my phones.
I second that. It works perfectly

It worked better on the N7 than it did on my Nexus Galaxy.
wow same thing here. My Motorola Triumph is terrible on GrooveIP but sounds pretty good on the nexus 7. Thanks for testing everyone.
Did you guys change any of the audio/echo settings like microphone gain?

I used a pair of earbuds to negate the speaker/mic/feedback/echo issue. It felt like I was using an old school hands free kit , but my wife said audio quality improved dramatically.

I'll have to try it with my bluetooth headset tomorrow. On just speaker, the person on the other line said they kept hearing an echo of their own voice. I tried lowering the microphone gain and enabled the echo canceling setting but still the same result.

Can the N7 use Earbuds with built in mic? Does the N7 headphone jack support this?
I tried GrooveIP Lite as a test. I'm getting varied results from call to call though.
I'm using a Samsung WEP 470. I turned up the BT mic gain to 1 and now the other person hears me fine. And I hear them fine. The problem is that I sometimes hear them five to ten seconds LATE. I haven't had any of the echo problems or anything else. But the lag ranges from nothing at all to ten seconds. I'll test by calling the same number a few times. Sometimes it's fine...other times the delay makes a conversation impossible. It's like talking to someone on the moon.
Have any of you run into this? How did you solve it?
Thanks!

There's an "Echo Test" number you can try 909-390-0003, that sort of lets you know how "fast" the response at the other end is. Also tell if there's echo.
In settings you might try changing "Troubleshooting/Mic Buffer" to small.
I don't talk a lot on it, but has been OK.
I'm using it without headphones or Bluetooth, works perfectly.

same here,

GrooveIp is working great. I used my old HTC G2 wired headset with mic. Made calls on tethering 3g and 4g with no problems. It would be nice if messaging and voice were integrated so I can use it all one app.
