Under settings in Google now, find voice, and make sure Bluetooth headset is checked. That might help

Does the headset support voice dialling ? If not, it won't work.
The last 2 bluetooth ear pieces I got from Sony didn't support this feature.

Wired Headset Button Fix

Dear all,
on Android 2.2 and 2.3 it is not possible to make calls via the button of a wired headset. This app lets you use the headset button to redial the last dialed number or to start the voice dialer if it is installed.
You can find the app on google code:
The project name is "android-wired-headset-button-fix".

This workaround will not allow you to start calls with the headset button.
But this is the reason why I made this app.

I would think some sort of variant of my fix would work!
Hi!
Sorry that I didn't post a link, but I am not allowed to do that yet. I will replace some characters in the URL.
I just uploaded a complete new version of the app:

beats by dre seem to work fine with all the buttons and calling/music EXCEPT the volume up and down buttons do nothing, anyone know if this can be fixed?

[Q] Has anyone developed a good way to make phone call?

I tried with GrooveIP but no luck.
No luck with Csipsimple or Sipdroid. I figured one of these would be the first to get mic/headphone support.
I have tried Skype but when the person who im calling answersthe call it force closes, havent tried any other app.

the only thing the mic can be used for right now is the built in nook functions and voice search. i don't think we will be able to use the mic for anything else until we can get a custom rom on it
I do all the time, download groove ip from the market, it links to your google voice account

I agree with you, though i will give obion a try too, i already have an android smartphone for voip calls but it would be awesome if we could have it in the nook, in fact is one of the reasons i bought the NT and not the NC. It is definitely a must have feature, at list for me .

Can you tell us more about your set up?
..OS version, root method, other google apps, non-google contact apps, etc...
Thanks!

No, it's surely can be used in any app. Because it's working in Hi-Q MP3 Rec (Lite), for instance. BTW, the sound quality is very good.

I can confirm that as well, I downloaded "Voice Recorder" from the market to record notes, and it works. What gives? if some random app can get access to the microphone, why can't the VoIP apps do it?
I'm trying to figure out how to make a call somehow as well.
Has there been anything new on this front yet - just bought and rooted a NT and would love to make calls with it
I used skype on mine and it worked well.
The closest I have gotten is with Skype or grooveip.
Skype FCs when the party being called answers. Each version I've tried has acted a little differently so I am still hopeful that an update will work some day. With the proliferation of tablets I know they are working on it though not necessarily for the NT.
Everything about grooveip seems to work but the microphone doesn't seem to be recognized and the speaker does not work. The speaker plays the ringing sound while trying to connect (and the volume is adjustable) but upon answer it does not play and the volume function is Xed out just as it would be when you are muted at the lowest setting. Volume buttons do not respond. Other than that there is definitely a telephony link between the NT and the phone being called. This is version 1.1.8 I'm trying.

Would you mind sharing? I am quite interested in getting Skype to work. No success as yet.
Here's a basic (possibly stupid) question. Is the NT headset jack a mic/earphone jack or just a headset jack? I couldn't tell from any of the teardowns.
im not sure but it could be a lib/s missing or existing one that need to be modified, ill try to look into it ask some devs i know and report back
I downloaded textplus and it is SO ClOSE to working! I can use it to sms and I can receive calls and make calls. The person on the other end can hear me BUT I cent hear them!
Also there is twin thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1363215&page=10
and one interesting comment
I also have success with iPhone mic + talk-a-play. I note /etc/astound.conf shows both mic channels ON. Could this be part of the problem? Linux Alsa doesn't work with Skype unless you turn one channel off because the 2 channels cancel each other out. Someone who really knows Alsa needs to have a good look at this file. I don't really understand it, but it definitely gives a description for a mic.

I'm playing with asound.conf now, and it seems to be the right place to look. I managed to break HI-Q recorder from working, make 'fring test call' be heard (not me), and even make device stuck from full boot (removing asound.conf from adb shell saved me) =)

radio frequency sender?

I want to ask something intersting. Is here any application for Neo which enables our devices to send or emirate or stream radio frequency. For example we start to stream one song on frequency 108.00Mhz and turn our radio on and listen that song on radio. I saw lots of little accessories for car with usb for that but I want to know is it able to have that on Neo. What is with hardware support, is it possible? thanks

Redmi Note 3 Pro - microphone in headset is not working when making a phone cal

Hello
My headphones with built-in microphone are detected by phone and they are working perfectly when I'm using an app to record sound. When I try to make a phone call - the headphone's microphone is not active, but phone's microphone is active. My headphones are Brainwavz Jive.
I have already tried to use Soundabout app and disabling "OK Google" detection but it's still not working. Also disabling Mi Sound does not work.
Can I do anything else?
I'm using MIUI Global Stable V8.1.1.0 MHOMIDI
I have same problem on miui8, microphone working on messengers call's perfect but when iam trying to call someone from phone then my microphone from headset not working..

You should try to disable Mi Sound Enhancer, maybe it should work.

I have tried that and it's not working.
I found this:
"
Navigate to /system and open the file “build.prop” in “RB Text Editor”
Find the line that says: persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=true
and change it to “false” so it reads persist.audio.fluence.voicecall=false
Reboot your phone
"
But you need to have rooted phone, can anyone try if this working?
Seems like it's an issue caused by the dialler. Either try using another dialler or flash a custom ROM. Getting rid of MIUI fixed it for me.

You want the audio to be diverted into 2 separate audio receivers. As far as I know, androidv in particular cannot do that.
Well, samsung, note 9 in particular, can do it so I was kinda wondering if its a software thing that can be made available to other android devices.

I'm also searching for a porting of this feature since forever
