Re: [APP][4.0+] AudioBT: Use Bluetooth incoming call for GPS audio

Correction in that meant cleared data not created...darn touch screens lol
[Android Apps and Games] TurboLed:
Does it happen after receiving a phone call over Bluetooth?

Can you provide a logcat of when it doesn't work ?

Also can you clarify how you are using the application. What is your navigation app? Are you using the AudioBT+ TTS engine or not? Remember if your app uses the TTS engine you should not turn on the AutioBT service.

Thanks

Re: [APP][4.0+] AudioBT: Use Bluetooth incoming call for GPS audio

I am using Google maps while my dice mediabridge is in Sirius satellite mode I have my phone set to the default Google TTS and yes I think it does stop functioning after a call and when I did switch to the AudioBT plus TTS the audio worked but than I turned it off and back on and it was all static so I have been using the default Google one instead it seems to work better for my phone

Hi,

I have tried your app in my nexus 4 and i can't find an option for Spanish in the AudioBT TTS. Anyway the app is working but when i use google navigation i get two voices simultaneously. One goes with the route and the other gives all the directions at the beginning one after another.

Let me know if i can help you anyway testing your app.
[Android Apps and Games] TurboLed:
Hi jlguerrer

Regarding Google Nav, it uses the TTS engine in an unusual way which is not compatible with AudioBT TTS. I suggest you use your regular TTS engine (turn of the AudioBT TTS engine) and leave the AudioBT service running in background.

As for the Spanish language, I'm currently using a pre-defined standard list of common languages from the Android SDK:

http://developer.android.com/reference/java/util/Locale.html#CANADA

Spanish is not part of that list. I believe I should improve that in the next release.
[Android Apps and Games] nroets1:
Good idea!

Hi

First I would like to say thanks for this app.

I've tried it (paid one) on JB 4.1.2 (Galaxy S3) an it does not send audio to headset. The AudioBT+ TTS and Enhanced TTS cannot be used in Tasker. It complains about missing data.

I would really like this app to work!

Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] TurboLed:
Hi

Sorry to hear that. I had no problem running it on Galaxy S, Galaxy Note, Galaxy Nexus so far... What application are you trying it with? Did the Audio Test work?
[Android Apps and Games] nyda83:
hi turboled can u explain how to set it up to run with sygic please?
[Android Apps and Games] TurboLed:
Hi

-In your phone settings, make sure your default TTS engine is AudioBT+ TTS.

-In Sygic, Settings->Regional, you have to select one of the voices ending with (Android), like TTS English (Android). That will make Sygic use the Android TTS engine instead of the internal Sygic engine. If you have installed extra TTS voices, you may have to uninstall them.
[Android Apps and Games] nyda83:
Here is the problem, I have removed every tts voices from my sygic but I can't see any android voice:crying:...
[Android Apps and Games] TurboLed:
That's strange. What version of Sygic do you have? Is it the latest version?
[Android Apps and Games] Jaime360:
Hi! I´ve bought your app. I have a galaxy note and i want to use your app to be able to hear sygic through the speakers of my car using parrot ck3000. I´ve tried using both methods (normal and tts) but it doesn´t work for me. When pressing the audio test on it does sound through the car speakers, but then when I use sygic it doesn´t work. I will apreciate your help.

Thank you very much

Im using latest sygic version (13.1.4).
[Android Apps and Games] Jaime360:
I think I've found the problem. It is not possible to select any of the android tts voices in the latest version of sygic (13.1.4). Is there a way to use them so your app works?

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] badubo:
Hi,

Just my 2 cents, it's probably because sygic (and tasker, by the way) are looking for the CheckVoiceData activity in the service and doesn't get a proper value?

For Tasker, you can use audioBT as a TTS but you need to write the service name by yourself in the Engine:Voice field of the say task : com.turboled.audiobtplus:fra (for french).

And there is where I get my problem :

I can send tts output from tasker to my sco bluetooth device. But due to the time of initialisation, I don't hear the start of messages.

So, I installed Enhanced TTS and configured the TTS engines like this :

AudioBT+ TTS-->EnhancedTTS-->Acapela TTS (pico has the same behaviour )

I add a 2 sec delay, so, that I can now hear the start of the message but... Not the end :(. And more problematic, the connection with the bluetooth is not released (I have to hang out manually my free handset)

Any idea?

Thanks for this wonderfull application
[Android Apps and Games] badubo:
ok, I was lucky with my previous tests.

In fact, I have the same behaviour with audioBT+TTS. Seems that the component crash with tasker.

I don't know if there is a way to sen debug log for helping?

thanks
[Android Apps and Games] TurboLed:
Could you attach a logcat ? For that you have to run logcat in a terminal or with ADB from your PC (adb logcat)
[Android Apps and Games] enotime:
Hey TurboLed,

Great and much needed app!

I'm stuck! Is there any way to stop the AudioBT service via Tasker?

I tried Killing the app, but the service simply restarts. I'd like AudioBT Plus to START whenever Bluetooth connects (works fine via Tasker!) and STOP whenever Bluetooth disconnects.

Maybe a Tasker plugin?

Thanks In Advance
[Android Apps and Games] TurboLed:
Yes. The intents for use with Tasker are listed on the first page of this thread. com.turboled.audiobtplus.ON and com.turboled.audiobtplus.OFF are what you need. I also made an updated version last week that prevents the service to restart on its own.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] shamster01:
Hi there and thanks for such a useful app! Loving it so far but the only issue I have is that the audio commands (over bt) comes across crackly and not very clear. I've used the enhanced tts well as the default with the same result.

Sorry I should clarify my setup :

S4 stock rom (unrooted)

Google navigation commands

AudioBT plus

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] TurboLed:
AudioBT uses the same Mono BT channel as handsfree phone calls. Do you have the same issues when calling someone? Did you try to adjust the BT volume while in the application? It could be too loud/too low...
[Android Apps and Games] shamster01:
phone calls over bt are usually very clear. When the commands are Coming through the speaker without the app, they are also really clear.

I've tried adjusting the volume when the command is coming through AudioBT, but doesn't rashly make a difference to the cracking.
[Android Apps and Games] the gladiator:
This app is exactly what I was looking for but I have a big issue: with bluetooth on in my car I start AudioBT service, I see the Icon in the notification bar but after 10 seconds the service stops: if I start the audio test while the service is running I correctly hear "audiobt" through my car stereo just once, I then get disconnected.
[Android Apps and Games] enotime:
problem with iHeartradio

Hi TurboLed,

I have AudioBT plus working exactly as advertised. I even use Tasker intents to stop and start the service as needed.

When I try to use iHeartradio to stream while AudioBT service is running, I get no sound at all from iHeartradio. In fact, pressing PLAY in the app seems to do nothing (normally, pressing play begins the stream and the PLAY button changes to a PAUSE button. When AudioBT Plus service is running, the PLAY button flashes, recognizing the tap, but immediately returns to the PLAY button)

I have 3 different BT headsets (2 manufacturers) and this behavior is identical on each of them when AudioBT Plus is running.

When AudioBT Plus is NOT running, iHeartradio correctly switches to whatever headset is connected automatically.

Any ideas?

Thanks In Advance!
[Android Apps and Games] TurboLed:
That's normal. AudioBT is not made to do music streaming. You can use other applications for that, like BtMono.

AudioBT takes the audio focus to detect transient sounds, like Google Maps directions. Streaming is not transient audio, it's permanently taking the audio focus so AudioBT takes it back. You cannot stream and use AudioBT at the same time. There would be a conflict.
[Android Apps and Games] enotime:
Thanks for the clarification. I didn't mean to imply that I thought AudioBT Plus should also stream the output from iHeartradio, just that I didn't think it should interfere with it. I thought these audio sources were different and thus, not mutually exclusive.

Thanks again! Great App.
[Android Apps and Games] the gladiator:
TurboLed, would you mind giving an answer to me as well ? I really would appreciate it very much !
[Android Apps and Games] TurboLed:
The real problem is that Android has only one audio focus which is like a token that allows one and only one app to have at once. It is recommended for app developers to request the audio focus before playing sound or music to prevent having 2 apps playing at the same time. That's how the music pauses when you have a notifications for example.

But you might find a streaming app that doesn't take the audio focus and it would probably work altough you might be hearing 2 sounds at the same time at some point.

I didn't answer because I have no clue about what's causing your issues. The service should always stays on unless you turn it off manually. And since there's no crash I don't know what to look for...

Suggestion

Hi,

I have a suggestion to improve this app. Automaticly launch an app (speak sms for example) when connected to bt device and switch off the launched app when disconnected to BT.

What about this idea ?
[Android Apps and Games] TurboLed:
I suggest you use Tasker, you can use the Bluetooth event to do what you want.
[Android Apps and Games] Jpsy:
I tried to use differents apps with AudioBT but it doesn't work.

I guess it's because every app for to TTS sms run the A1DP BT profile. AudioBT don't redirect the sound to SCO BT audio profile.

Unfortunatly, I didn't founded any app for TTS SMS which run correctly with AudioBT.

May be it exist somewher... :crying:
[Android Apps and Games] TurboLed:
With Tasker you can create a script that reads the notifications of any messaging apps through AudioBT. I put the instructions in the OP. You need some skills to do this however.
[Android Apps and Games] Jpsy:
Hello

What is "OP" ?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] TurboLed:
It is the Oringial Post, the first message on the first page of this thread.
[Android Apps and Games] 6long:
I've been using AudioBT to redirect my google maps directions through bluetooth mono. It works great most of the time, but sometimes (quite often), it will stop giving directions. When the app works fine, I'd get a "phone call" and I would just hear the directions, and then the call would end. When the app stops working, instead of hearing directions, I will get a "phonecall" with no sound. The call doesn't end either, and I would manually have to end the call. Next time google maps is ready to give directions, I will get another phone call with no sound. The only way to fix it is to restart the phone, which is frustrating when you're driving.

Has this been a common issue? I tried searching the forum, but couldn't find anything. Also, if it helps, I am using a Galaxy Nexus running on Android 4.3. Would a newer phone possibly solve the issue?
[Android Apps and Games] TurboLed:
I'm sorry about the instabilities you encounter. I will do my best to reproduce the problem and try to fix it as soon as I can.

I'd like to know which TTS engine are you using ?
[Android Apps and Games] 6long:
I'm actually just using Google tts... The audiobt wrapper causes Google maps to not say Street names which is inconvenient.

Another problem I notice is when I receive a call from someone, I can't hear them. It works fine if I called them back though
[Android Apps and Games] urup:
Great app TurboLed.

I use it for Google Nav., where it works great on my Nexus 4, I'm really loving it.

I have two suggestions:

1. Make some clear instructions how to set up audiobt with google nav. (so there's no delay in the speech), and similar popular apps.

2. This is a suggestion for a app improvement. If it's possible to know what instruction google nav. (or other app) it giving, you could set the dailing phone number accordingly. That way you could have contacts named TURN LEFT, etc, showing up on the display, which would be really cool.

I know that this isn't really a part of your app, but since I assume your app is making the connection and setting the dailing number (my car just says: unknown), your app at least need to know about it.

For those us who's cars also show the contact photo, this would really be cool, as the display could show the actual navigation instructions on the screen (though not with distance to the turn).
[Android Apps and Games] TurboLed:
Thank you very much for your suggestions!

1. I am aware that my app is not user-friendly. I tried to give exact instructions on how to set it up in the Google Play listing, and depending on usage there are many scenarios. I'm tempted to remove the AudioBT TTS engine because I personally never use it and it's confusing to leave it there, because it doens't work well with Google Maps (promoting Enhanced TTS instead). But I don't know if some users are using it with some other navigation app they would lose the feature.

2. That would be a dream feature to be able to send text or phone numbers to the radio. But as far as I know it's not possible for me to change the displayed phone number as everything is handled by the Android SDK. Also I doubt of the usefulness of having a "Turn right" display based on phone number without a distance or street name. The Google Maps directions repeat the instructions quite enough, as many as 3 times for each turn (in 500m, turn right on streer ABC. In 100m, turn right on street ABC. Turn right on street ABC.). But I keep your suggestion in mind!

ATRIX

Hello TurboLed,

I tried yours app in my ATRIX (CM10 - Android 4.1.2 - Epinter ROM), but it didn't work.

My bluetooth device is a Nokia CK-7W (mono).

Is there any solution?

I remember that stock Voice Commands (Nuance - VSuite 3.2) worked perfectly for sending TTS by incaming call.

Now, the version 4.5 don't work.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] TurboLed:
Could you please give me more details? Is the Audio test working through bluetooth? How are you trying to use the app exactly?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] estouanonimo:
Ok.

No, the Audio test didn't work through bluetooth.

I connected my device with Nokia CK-7W (mono).

I ran the application and clicked the "Restart Service" button.

Then I clicked on "Audio Test" button, and didn't hear any sound.

Then I clicked on "Stop Service" button and again on Audio Test" button and I heard the test sound by speakerphone.

I'd like run your app before use "Voice Commands (Nuance - VSuite 4.5)", because his sound is coming out by spekerphone, not by bluetooth.

Sorry my english.

One suggestion/question: As it did not work for me yet, how do I turn it off, in order to test other apps like this ? It seems there is no way to close it or stop it.

Hello.

I have a problem with the speech when using this app.

When using the app and starting the service (or just using the Test Audio function), all speech messages were not send.

The BT receiver is put into phone mode, but nothing is delivered through BT Audio. After ending the output, the receiver falls back to normal mode.

So it seems that the signal "play this audio over BT" is coming correctly, but the speech engine cannot put anything out over BT. But there is also nothing played over local speakers in the phone. Tried it with different speech engines, but none worked.

Tested in Google Maps, Navigon and with the test function.

I use the car headunit Alpine iDE178BT.

Samsung Galaxy S3 (not LTE, not branded), Cyanogenmod 10.2, Andorid 4.3.1., Rooted

AudioBT plus in the latest version.

I am using the "Blitzer" app (not allowed to post a link), and here this app can put the headunit to "telephone mode", and then play a long beep (no speech, just a tone). So maybe this is a problem in activating the engine?

Best regards and thanks for help and this great application.

AudioBT Plus + Enhanced TTS

Hi,

I am using AudioBT Plus with Enhanced TTS together with Google Maps on Android 4.4.2 on a Moto G. I have configured my android to use "EnhancedTTS" as text-to-speech module. In the "EnhancedTTS" options I have defined a 3 second "pause before". I have tested it with "8 bits downsample" and without, but there seems to be no pause when Google Maps is used (I have not checked any other app so far). AudioBT service is running and the sound is correctly played via bluetooth and can be heared, but the first second or so is missing. "Audio Test ON" also makes no pause before the sound.

Any suggestions how to make the pause work?

Best regards,

Martin

I have been looking for a way to get tasker to interrupt my car radio through the non a2dp built in bluetooth. Found this app and it seemed to work in the very beginning with the test but since then I have had no luck even with paid version.

Have tried the tasker profile in OP. No luck.

Also tried the AudioBT+ TTS but audio is lost when connected to BT.

I also attempted to use the "say" command in tasker but get "Error: Permission was Denied" and "Error: check TTS data failed: 0"

Help! What else should I try? This is the app I've been looking for since I bought this car!

Using Nexus5 and 09 Mini built in bluetooth
[Android Apps and Games] TurboLed:
There is a paid version, it is called Audio BT Plus.

Google Maps have a tendency to revert back to the default GPS voice rather than using TTS and I cannot do nothing about it. I suggest you to try reducing the pause to 1 second and see if it works better. Usually Google reverts when the TTS request takes to long to generate the speech.
[Android Apps and Games] TurboLed:
Hi toxicgreen

Are you trying to use AudioBT to read your text messages or use it for navigation with Google Maps or such?

What TTS engine did you use when trying the Tasker instructions in the OP? This should work with a regular TTS engine (no AudioBT or Enhanced TTS).
[Android Apps and Games] toxicgreen:
I would really like to use it for both texts and navigation. Right now I have tasker reading out my texts but it will only go through the car stereo if I'm listening to the car's aux input. I have a separate a2dp dongle for music to aux but I'm usually listening to the radio while driving.

With the tasker instructions I tried both Google TTS and Ivonia with no luck.

Also tried AudioBT TTS and enhanced TTS for use with google maps navigation.

I had a glimmer of hope when I first installed your app and it interrupted the car radio but now I can't even reproduce.that action.

Any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] TurboLed:
So the Audio Test worked at first, and now it doesn't work? We should focus on that first.

On Android 4.3 and a Samsung Note 2

This was a great app which I used to complement Waze, thereby making it possible for me to receive voice guidance through my normal radio broadcast in the car. (ie. interrupting the radio as if a phone call was being received to give me voice guidance similar to the way Waze works on the iPhone).

Unfortunately when my phone (Samsung Note 2) updated to Android 4.3 the voice became distorted and uncomprehensible. Due to other performance issues since my update to 4.3 (namely battery performance) I did a factory reset on my phone. Now Audio BT it is completely unusable, it will not play the voice guidance at all although I have tried different delays in the enhanced TTS.

I can however still hear the guidance in the background if at the time the guidance is given I happen to be running the "Audio test ON" loop.

I can also report that it is taking about 15 seconds for me to start hearing the audio test ON loop from the moment I press the button (I don't know how long it use to take before this problem).

I have also tried it with two other GPS navigation apps (in addition to waze) and same problem, no guidance whatsoever and no sign of the (fake) incoming call on my car (as I used to get before the android update).

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

[Android Apps and Games] dirceucorsetti:
Hi TurboLed, I am very inclined on buying your app. I use Waze so I imagine it won't use Android's built in TTS and I have a typical setup with a Parrot CK3000 as someone mentioned earlier.

There is a little delay that eats the beginning of the message from Waze and there is no general delay to define. Is this a desired feature on further versions or is there a technical issue for it not to be implemented? Is there other alternative to stop losing the beginning of my messages?

Thanks in advance!
