HTC Desire AutoAnswer audio goes to phone speaker rather than connected BT headset #13

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Pair bluetooth headset (samsung wep210) to phone (HTC Desire, Android 
2.1-update1)
2.Setup to autoanswer call after 4 seconds only when bt headset is connected
3. Receive call

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect phone to answer after 4 seconds and route audio to the BT headset (On 
motorbike so cant push buttons).  Instead the audio comes out the phone 
speaker.  The app should transfer the call to bluetooth if available (it 
obviously knows when bluetooth is connected as it will only answer when it is)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
AutoAnswer 1.5
Htc Desire Android 2.1-update 1 (Version 1.24.161.3)

Please provide any additional information below.

I've just upgraded to Froyo on my Desire, but AutoAnswer still does not put 
sound through to BT headset (Scala 500)

It also happens for me sometimes on my Nexus One. Unfortunately, I haven't been 
able to track the cause for this specifically.

I have an HTC EVO and can confirm that AutoAnswer doesn't play audio through my 
Jawbone BT headset. It plays through the phone's speaker instead.

Just want to say that fixing this would be of huge benefit to disabled people 
who cannot reach the button on the earpiece. Hope you can find fix. Using v1.5 
on Evo with Jawbone Icon.

Hi. I just purchased the Aria from AT&T. I am physically disabled in a 
wheelchair and generally use a bluetooth device with the phone set to auto 
answer after a few rings. The ATT store manager downloaded the auto answer app 
from the app store, but when the phone answers a call it loops the call back to 
the phone unless you hit the button on the bluetooth... I physically cannot 
reach up and do this and thus cannot use a wireless earpiece (we tried new 
hi-end motorola and basic samsung devices and neither worked). My previous 
non-htc, non-smart phones worked easily with any bluetooth earpiece I tried. 
Without a bluetooth I cant use my phone except for very limited situations.

Does anyone have any solutions or suggestions as to how I can remedy this 
problem? Please help!  Thanks.

CharterSF,
I'm in the same boat as you. I had a WinMobile smartphone with VoiceCommand and 
the built-in auto-answer feature. It made for a very nice experience 
accessibility-wise. With my EVO, I've downloaded Choice Dialer+ which gives me 
some voice command features, but it uses the built-in speech recognition which 
doesn't work as well thru bluetooth. As for auto-answering, this app apparently 
works on non-HTC phones, but not for us. My work around is to answer the call 
with my mouthstick then immediately press Menu and select Bluetooth On. That 
transfers it to my earpiece. Outgoing calls switch to my earpiece 
automatically. 

Hope that helps until we get a fix.

I depend on auto-answering because of my disability. I have HTC and bluetooth 
and can't get auto-answer to work on bluetooth headset. Would be extremely 
grateful for a fix to this problem!

Update: I complained directly to ATT corporate, and they were responsive 
immediately. Their research dept. discovered that, currently, only the 
Blackberry OS allows bluetooth handsfree answering with the new Motorola 
earpiece. I exchanged my HTC Aria for the Blackberry Torch, paired my Motorola 
H17... and off to the races!

Hi there. would it be possibleto turn on the Bluetooth, while in call, by the 
use of instructions (Befehle)? Else I think it would be very usefull to be able 
to force to Bluetooth after the call was accepted (auto answer).

My evo got an update a few months back. Some time after that I tried  auto 
answer again and it works right with my BT.

My HTC Desire with Android 2.2 does not work as desired but probably as 
specified. I use a Supertooth buddy in my car. Outgoing calls work allright 
over the speakers of the buddy. Incoming calls also work over then spakers of 
the buggy when I take them with the toggle on the buddy.
BUT: As soon as I accept a call on the phone (or have an auto answer program do 
that) it will switch to the phones speakers. If you want to switch to the 
devices speakers you will have to press Menu and Bluetooth ON. This is probably 
correct by design but not wanted for "hands free". So I think that there should 
be an configuration option added to force the speakers to the ecternat device 
even when the call ist answered "by the phone", i.e. force the Menu - Bluetooth 
ON automatically.
Can anyone do this??

Driving" for everything to work perfectly... I know HTC and iPhone are cool 
phones, but reality is only Blackberry OS will (currently) allow smartphone to 
prove true handsfree bluetooth.

Not 100% true. My HTC EVO now works with this app and Jawbone Icon. Didn't
at first but after the last EVO update it started working.

audio goes to phone speaker rather than connected BT headset

I have also the same problem and the stupid people from HTC Romania told me tu 
change the bluetooth and other things that has ni connection with this issue. 
They didn't even knew about this. Maybe someone from ather country can tell 
about this problem to htc corporation because I wasn't able( they transfered 
the comment to HTC Romania). 
Thank you!

I believe this app is now obsolete, as auto-answering functionality is now 
built into the OS.  I know 2.3 has it, but I am unsure of earlier versions.  
Can anyone confirm?

Settings > Call Settings > All Calls > Answering call > Automatic Answering

I disagree - the HTC 2.3.3 ROM for the desire does not have those settings 
mentioned available - they appear to have hidden them.  Hence my next phone 
will be a Galaxy nexus - Android as Google intend it!
