[Q] Google Voice to Text not working bluetooth headset. - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

I have been using my LG stereo bluetooth with the Note 2 with no problem except when using the google voice to text button located on the on screen keyboard. When you push the microphone button on the keyboard, it pops up the google voice input but does not do anything. I have tried the stock keyboard, swipe, and swiftkey. The bluetooth headset works when using s-voice and google now. Any suggestions?

Anyone else having this issue?
Just checking to see if this is only affecting me.

I have the LG stereo bluetooth and it works fine for me on stock samsung keyboard.

Must be something I have set wrong.

Did you find a solution? I have te same problem with my Parrot car Bluetooth unit when connected.
Just out of curiosity, we're you able to get a voice input button when switching to Swype keyboard? When I changed only that keyboard setting, the Swype keyboard came up, but with no mic button.

Activating voice commands via BlueTooth with ICS?

Hey all,
I have a Sena SMH-10 Motorcycle bluetooth headset. Its always paired up and worked with my SGSII perfectly. All calls, music and even voice commands functioned relatively well. Normally, I'd press the "call" button on my Sena, and it would activate the Samsung voice commands with a "what would you like to do?" voice prompt.
Now that I've upgraded to ICS (unrooted, stock SGSII), the call button on the Sena doesnt activate the voice command. The phone pairs up fine, calls, music and notifications come through the headset. But as you know, riding a motorcycle doesnt really allow me to open apps or dial manually on the road!
Anyone have any ideas? Some setting in BT or Voice that I missed?

It seemed that ICS broke many features that we were all used to. I'm the same way with the blue tooth headset. I purchased a top-of-the-line Blue Ant G2. worked perfectly on GB, but not on ICS.
I'm about to give up and Odin back to GB before ICS and the maintenance update, when everything worked like it suppose to.
Yeah yeah yeah, ill be giving up the smooth transitions. but ill be getting back my scrolling wall paper, working BT, and a bunch more.

I'm having the same problem. I really hope it gets fixed soon! The only function that works is the long press on the BT handsfree (Motorola T505) which redials the last number.
Is this issue also present in CM9?
I'm using stock ICS. It seems to work okay with my BlueAnt. I activate the phone voice command by saying "phone commands" to my BlueAnt.
However, I don't have a headset, I have the BlueAnt S4 handsfree for my car. Haven't finished rebuilding my motorcycle, so haven't bought the headset. Do the headsets have the capability for voice commands? If so, maybe try that and see if it works.

Which voice command do you use on the phone, the stock Google one or vLingo? How is your BT/voice command activation setup? Can you get it to take commands when it's locked (my biggest problem)?
I'm interested to see if, perhaps, it's just a matter of settings.

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.
Swiftkey'ed on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus
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.

Are you trying to launch with the car kit button or do you have it running in the 'in car' mode?
I found I couldn't launch with the button but if it's running you can start a call by shouting "Hey Vlingo" and then "Call *contact name* "

It is ridiculous that there is no voice dialing via the car button. Trie multiple 3rd party applications but the voice dialing does not work with the car unit. I cant believe its a dead end.Have written to HTC but i dont expect a positive answer. Its kinda strange as HOX has voice recognition through Google voice but the car unit doesnt read it.

This is kind funny. i had disabled Google voice after trying everything and all kinds of 3rd party applications.Happened to enable it again,connected paired the phone with my JVC car unit,pressed the voice dial icon and Viola! it worked.Even with screen locked,the google voice came on the screen,asked me to say "call and the name or number".worked for all the 3-4 phone numbers i tried.near perfect matches,confirms to dial and works like a charm.Its taking the input from car microphone too.Don't really know what i did,but its working now.
I use pioneer radio with bt (parrot) and it works fine, phonebook, sms notification, a2dp... Worked with every htc i've tryed... Try looking for new sw update for ur bt device mate...

Re: Bluetooth Keyboards don't work N7 & 4.3

Re: Bluetooth Keyboards don't work N7 & 4.3
Hi:
I culled the following list from XDA, Phandroid and Nexus 7/Nexus 10 Forums. Some folks have gotten keyboards to work on the Nexus 4 and 10 but I haven't seen any reports of success with the Nexus 7 2012 or 2013 running 4.3:
Zagg
I'm using a Zagg, and it'll pair. I can enter the code. The Nexus seems to recognize what it is, but once it's all set up the keyboard is completely non-functional. It wont move around the home screens and it wont input in a text editor.
Perixx PERIBOARD-806, Bluetooth ALU Folding Keyboard
It pairs with difficulty and shows connected but the soft keyboard still appears and it will not type.
Apple Bluetooth Keyboard
Is anyone else having issues with their bluetooth keyboard when paired with the Nexus 7? I have an Apple Bluetooth keyboard and it repeats characters, and inserts the spaces out of order.
My Apple A1255 keyboard pairs but no longer connects in 4.3 on my Nexus 7 (2012). Works on my Nexus 4 with 4.3 and worked on 4.2.2 no problems.
Spider Bluetooth Keyboard
I recently purchased a Spider bluetooth keyboard and I can get it to pair with my Nexus 7 (which recently updated to 4.3). The tablet recognizes it, and I type in the numerical code and press enter on the keyboard and the Nexus 7 responds. However, I can't get it to work in any other app after it pairs (I've tried unpairing it, turning it off/on, restarting the tablet, etc).
Unknown Bluetooth Keyboard
I have a Bluetooth Keyboard and he works perfectly if im using the 4.2.2. Now only the letters work, no Space, no enter, no backspace and nothing more... Anyone have this problem too? (Sorry for my poor English)
I got the same problem with my bluetooth keyboard and other issue with the ShareKM app The cursor is invisible.
Kensington Bluetooth Keyboard
I have a Kensington UK bluetooth keyboard and although it shows as connected and typing the numbers to pair it worked, I get no input at all...
GYMLE Bluetooth Keyboard
I have a GMYLE keyboard and it will connect but no key will register on screen
Has anyone gotten any Bluetooth Keyboard to work with the Nexus 7?
Does anyone know how to report this to Google?
Tom
I paired a Logitech K810 and a Logitech BT mouse and both worked fine. (2013 Nexus 7 running stock 4.3, stock recovery, bootloader still locked, no root).
My Logitech Tablet keyboard paired and worked just fine with my 2013 Nexus 7.

Hi:
Thanks for the clarification. Others have reported compati bility with Logitech keyboards as well. I also saw a post that the Rapoo E6100 works with the Nexus 7 as well.
I wrote the same post to Android Police and Cameron Summerson ran with it posting an article today:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-compatibility-with-many-bluetooth-keyboards/
Hopefully the article will bring the issue to Google's attention and an upcoming fix will come for the rest of us.
An Android Police user commented:
"I hear they have "top men" working on the issue Getting Google to admit the problem exists is the first step. A HUGE first step."
I just hope it's the case.
Best,
Tom Henriksen

Are you able to use both your apple bt keyboard and mighty mouse at the same time?

I wish ZAGG made cool keyboard cases for the nexus 7 like they do for the iPads. I got a couple keyboard cases from Zagg and they are very cool. If there was a high demand for it they would probably do it.

My logitech keyboard (the one with tablet stand and says android 3+ on it) is all over the place.
FN keys work(volume, mail, etc), but when I open a note taking app, it repeatedly gets stuck on keys.
It types like this: "I like XDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
I'm hoping it's a keyboard issue, not the Nexus. Unfortunately, I do not have another bluetooth keyboard to test this out.
I am using this one and working perfectly

The HP Touchpad Keyboard works fine with mine. http://www.amazon.com/HP-FB344AA-AC3-TouchPad-Wireless/dp/B0055QYJK6
I was able to get my ZaggFlex keyboard to pair and to register typing by following these steps (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44188186&postcount=19).
I now have my ZaggFlex and an Apple Wireless Keyboard (latest model, I believe) paired and functional. Also have an Apple Magic Mouse working but I don't believe anyone ever had issues with mice, just keyboards.
I do have a problem with typing lag and characters repeating if I also have Wi-Fi enabled. As soon as I turn it off everything works smoothly.
Hm. Ok, so I restarted the N7, "forget the device," re-paired it, and now it works fine.
I'm typing on it right meow.
I was really dreading replacing the N7 again...sigh.

Bluetooth Button to open Google Now

Hi everyone!
I'm searching a method to "call" Google Now when press the hands-free button on my car or voice command on my bluetooth headset.
Searching on internet I've found that it's a strange thing on Android, that call the old Voice Dialer insted the new Google Now :\
I've found an app, Bluetooth launch but on my Nexus 5X seems to not work...another app, GNow, in it's description talk about a changing in Android 6 and that their app isn't necessary enymore, but I haven't found nothing about on internet.
Note that this app's functionality has been incorporated into Android 6.0 (Marshmallow); so don't install if you're on 6.0 or later.

Have you tried going in your Google now settings>voice>and enabling Bluetooth headset recording?
This works for my lg tone hbs810 Bluetooth headset giving me any ok Google option through the headset by tapping the call icon. Idk how it will work with the car though.
Let me know if it helps.

Nexus 5x stock unrooted here. I used to be able to both start Google Now by saying "ok google" or by long-pressing the BT button. (after the various necessary settings changes had been made of course).
I can't now. I've just followed the exact same path and discoveries the OP made.
I started on 6.0.1 and am on 7.0 OTA w/ Sep 2016 security updates. I *believe* it broke when my pricey but unreliable Philips BT headphones died. I switched back to an Anker Soundbuds Sport. I think that's when I lost that functionality. Can't start with "ok google" or with the BT headset button.
If I say "ok google" into phone's mic, I can then finish from my BT headset.
I know for certain I used to be able to launch with a button press as well as "ok google" so I think the problem is certain headsets. My BT button definitely works, it'll pause and start any music app I'm in. Answer calls, hang up. That's about it.
Would sure love a way to get this functionality back on my current Anker headphones.
And to reiterate yes my settings are correct, BT is enabled in both locations, ok google always listening is on etc etc etc.
I realize it's an old thread, but it's still an issue for some....
