Hello!
Is there anybody who was able to get Alexa hands-free to work with Nord 2?
There's not much info I can find, but a few people on the OP forums also state that it doesn't work (yet?).
For me, the settings seem to be right, but even with the app open, Alexa wouldn't respond to calling her name, only if I tap the button.
Same issue here

I just stumbled upon this really useful device which many of us might already know about...Gmate...
which uses a network ic to connect to cellular service and provides you added functionality of a phone to your tablet via bluetooth and a special app from playstore...

The skyroam app...it acts as an interface between the two devices and lets you optimize the phone function on the tablet...

But my real concern is that our android phones already have a network ic working in them with a bluetooth chip...
So is there an app like skyroam already made which can enable us to make calls and use the network functions on our TFP via the android phone...i tried searching for it but all in vain...
If not already developed...This is an interesting concept and will be quite useful to use tablet for phone functions especially handsfree voice calls, video calls and using the 3G internet from the phone (though we can use network by creating a hotspot)...
My point is why buy the same thing twice in form of gmate when we have all the ingredients already working right with us...we just need an app...
Can anyone help me with this...?
The closest I've seen is TabletTalk. The developer seems to be aiming for the type of functionality you describe, and much of it is in there already. I find it very useful.
Tablet talk has been good for me. You can answer and make calls right from your tablet. You do need to be paired with your phone through blue tooth or wifi.

Who is this guy, Dr. Seuss? Sorry.....I couldn't resist.
Thanks for this thread OP, I have been looking for this functionality for awhile now, but wasn't sure which way to go with it.
Am I correct to understand that something like tablet talk using your cell for calls?

With tablet talk you can answer and place calls through your tablet and caller ID shows up on your tab, you can also send and receive text messages.
The call audio does NOT get routed through the tablet though. I believe you need to have a BT headset if you want to route the call audio. So when you get or place a call from the tab it actually activates the call on your phone. If you have a BT headset audio gets routed (I believe, I dont use BT headsets so dont hold me to that) otherwise you either have to pick up your phone and talk like you normally would, or you can activate your phone's speakerphone from the app on the tab
You may want to take a look at grooveIP, which uses your google voice number to call and receive calls without a cell network. Works great on tabs and phones and you can even receive calls. Works great for me so far!

Prior to the latest update to Google Search 3.5.16.1262550 a couple weeks ago, I used to be able to do a long press on my BT headset to bring up Google Now, which let me say, "Call Joe Blow home" and it would make the call to his home number. Now it brings up Google Dial which tells me to say "Call someone" but pops up with a numbered list of the cell, home, and work numbers on the screen that I either have to touch to choose the one I want, or say, "Select Two" to dial his home number. This requires that I either touch or look at the screen to make a call, which totally defeats the purpose of "hands-free" calling.
I have switched back to S-Voice for now, which I hate because she talks too much before I can actually make a call, but at least I don't have to dig my phone out to push or see which phone I want to call. I hope someone can help us get back to BT dialing the way it used to be.
This is on a Sprint Galaxy Note 3 running KitKat, but I imagine this is affecting all phones.
Yes I have a note 3 kitkat and Google search issue is affecting my phone as well. Instead of Google now voice prompt when pressing headset hard button on my LG bluetooth headset....Goople dial is not default which sucks!
Bump! Surely someone must use Bluetooth dialing from a headset and noticed this major change besides the two of us. Please help if you have any ideas to revert Google Search to work the way it used to.
Bump again! Doesn't anyone else use their Bluetooth headset to initiate calls?
I think I have finally found an acceptable workaround using Bluetooth Launch from the Play Store. Install the app and follow the directions as described in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2794883
Step one shouldn't be needed as when you long press, it will detect the new app and let you select Bluetooth Launch as the default.
I have a new Verizon LG Stylo 2v. I would like to be able to answer calls using voice only and put it on speaker phone. There is an app called "Voice Answer Free" and it worked fine on my Samsung Note 3 but I am unable to get it to work on the new LG phone.
It requires me to go to Settings - Sounds and Notifications - Notification Access and place a check mark next to the app name. On the Samsung it was very easy to do. On the LG Stylo 2v there is no "Notification Access" on the list in the same directory. I called Verizon support and they acted like they had never heard of this setting and had me call LG. They also had no idea what I was talking about and asked me to call Android. They did not know anything about it and told me to call Verizon.
The Samsung is on android 5.0 Lollipop and the LG is on android 6.0 Marshmallow so this difference may be the problem.
I just need to have the ability for my aunt to be able to answer her phone while it is on her lap without touching it, voice only.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Hello, I have seen that to answer whatsapp and calls you need an esim, I would like to know if it is possible to respond with any program without the need of esim, using wifi or BT.
If yes, I would like to know if it is functional, if there are no delays in notifications, if I can answer whatsapps with audio, or by dictating, or better still, with a voice message (that would be completely ideal if it's functional)
English languaje is avalaible? I appreciate opinions and help since I find very little information about this watch
Many thanks.
At least can someone telle me if the Amazfit Nexo/verge 2 can answer calls without Esim, by Bluetooht only? Thanks
Hi I can confirm you can use BT calling (Phone call and SMS (SMS read only))
It is working with Xiaomi MI A2 Lite Phone with Android 10 in BT adv option you need to allow BT access to SIM
NEXO is Global version and with latest software/ROM 1.2.4.3
Sorry I cannot confirm whatsapp functinality as it is not used by this person.
Hi All,
I hope this hasn't been answered in another thread, if it has, I do sincerely apologize. I tried to search using search criteria, but am unable to find an answer.
It seems that sometimes, when connected to my home WiFi with my Mi 10, that I do not get SMS alert notifications. I will get the message, but I have to open the actual SMS app (stock) to see the message. It will not alert me. It is intermittent though, so I am not sure what the problem is. Once I leave my home WiFi (or other WiFi networks) it will alert me just fine. I am confused about this.
Mi people cannot help me out -- They do not know what the problem is.
I am on AT&T in the USA.
If anyone has any suggestions for this, that would be great!
Thank you so much!
Best,
gSteelx
I should mention that this also was happening on my Redmi note 8 pro as well
