Vim3 Android Bluetooth HSP/HFP failed

remote, ok I have a remote with mic on my Nvidia Shield
I will test with that when I can.

#22

I have not been able to get any blue tooth microphone input at all.
I now feel I am doing something wrong, can I ask for a step by step way to test this.
devices I have to test with:
Nvidia Shield remote.
Bluetooth 4.1 Helmet Headset intercom,SCS ETC S-9 Motorcycle Communication System.
FreedConn COLO Motorcycle Bluetooth Helmet Headset Intercom
all these devices work on cell ph and tablets with the google assistant in the way I want it to work on the Vim3

Is there an app I should use to test this?
I tried using Lesser AudioSwitch to redirect what microphone input was in use.
It seems like its listening to a phantom nonexistent onboard mic and not the BT mic on whatever device I am useing.

My end goal is to have google assistant functional for a hands free GPS experience.
Thank you.

Hi, in fact, there are two options, either wait or try to do it yourself, try downloading Google from the Market, someone wrote that it works on stock firmware, I personally have not tested

Hi, I am downloading the google assistant from the play store / market. I am also testing with the search function (mic) on the play store. Neither work.

As far as trying to work it out myself, I just dont have the time, full time working for a living and family life leaves only so much time for hobbies. I do want to learn app development for android, but that is a year or two down the line for me. The time it would take me to learn to compile my own image with the changes/repairs I needā€¦ unthinkable IMO.

@superceleron
So I take it there should be no need for Gapps or any other add on with the stock image or the superceleron images?

I am about to give up and wait for the next major revision now :frowning:

If I may ask, please ensure BT audio microphone input is on the radar as the android 11 image is prepared.

Thanx

Ok, thanx. Enough I guess, wont bug you guys further.

She is parked in a box till the new version comes out.
Need to get an RTC battery anyhow and thatā€™s gonna take a month or fourā€¦

@Terry

Sorry to bring this back, but the new version has come out and after testing I have seen no change in this problem.

Is there a better place to post this issue and monitor progress on bug reports like this one?

Thanx

Sigh, still no joy on my end.
I cannot get any Bluetooth microphone input :frowning:

#34

I make sure that the new firmware can support the Bluetooth microphone input.
Why is your Bluetooth microphone not working? How did you test it?

#35

I load the image, boot up the board then:

  1. connect wifi
  2. log into google account to access play store.
  3. Pair blue tooth mic (tried two helmet systems for motorcycles and one bluetooth remote that has a mic in it)
  4. test by using mic button on google play search.
#36

You should use the Bluetooth headset, and it donā€™ t support the Bluetooth remote.

#37

Ok, I will try again with my BT helmet headset.
This is a standard BT headset, nothing special.

I am loading it up right now.

The goal is to use android assistant as a hands free system when on my motorcycle.

#38

I forgot I had to install the google assistant and voice search apps from the play store.
another app I installed was google maps.

These are as I see it the fundamental requirements for a hands free Android system.

I was not able to make this work in my tests with my bluetooth headset just now.

#39

Terry, I really need a hands free Android system via BT

Can you help me with this in some way please.

what am I missing, I am at a wall and have been here for many months :frowning:

At this point I am willing to mail you a BT head set for testingā€¦

You have tried to test the BT headset with the QQ call. It work well.
