Has anyone had experience using this with Google Now on the Galaxy Note 2? I want to be able to activate GNow during music and not have it be confused

I don' know how it will respond to your galaxy note. it does function well with google music player and every other multimedia app I use on my LG. even those apps that I download to play music videos

Yes you can. It's not too difficult. First launch Google Now, scroll to the bottom and hit the menu button (three dots), Settings, Voice, check the 'Bluetooth headset' box. Download a free app called 'Bluetooth Launch' from the Play Store. Launch it and it will load a list of all your apps. Go to the Google Search one, expand it, and choose com.google.android.quicksearchbox.VoiceSearchActivity. When you press and hold the button on the Kinivo BTC450 you'll hear a beep after two seconds or so. Your phone will then prompt for you to choose which app to launch. Select Bluetooth Launch and set it as your default. It should now launch a Google Now search box and start listening. You can execute voice commands from here. After the initial setup it'll just launch the action by default. It works for me even when the screen is off. Just remember to speak loudly and towards your bluetooth adapter because it'll be listening from that as opposed to your phone's microphone. The little circle around the microphone will turn red when it actually hears what you're saying vs grey when it doesn't. I initially had a problem with this messing up media that was playing. This was because I originally didn't check off the 'Bluetooth Headset' box in Google Now's settings. I hope this helps! Keep in mind. Single pressing the button is pause/play. Long-pressing the button will trigger that button command. I've noticed on my Nexus 5 that occasionally the microphone on the Google Search bar on the home screen will become hollow instead of solid white. I know that this is normal during media playback so that it doesn't recognize stuff from songs you're playing. If I have music playing, long-press that button on this adapter, the music will pause, and then Google Search can hear me and function normally. On some rare occasions the microphone icon will stay hollow despite music not playing. I'm not really sure what causes this but restarting the phone fixes it.

Looks like Google has reversed its original decision and Obi devices will be supported by Google. I never lost my Google connection to after the May deadline.

I have the galaxy s3, the controls will pause and play with pandora. But I have not tried them with the google music app. The volume up/down buttons do not work. And if you hold the play pause button s voice will tell you what missed notifications you have. If you have any other questions just shoot.

Well, did dual-linking for fun(dont really need it) on my Android phone and Android Tablet. It worked. Also you have to specify in bluetooth settings which mode each device is using( in my case, phone was phone, and tablet was media ). Basically while I was watching some show, and when I got a call on my phone, Abco allowed me to receive the call, talk, and then go back to listening to the stuff on the tablet. Don't really know HOW exactly to switch between the devices, so, for example, if you want to place a call on the phone while still being connected to the tablet, you have read the manual if that's possible.

Yes, the process is that easy, the on/switch (depending on which phone you have) will open Siri / S Voice / Google Now when you press and hold it. If you're playing music, it is a pause/play button

Hello! Because PlayMG operates on android, you have free access to Google Music! With Google Music you can listen to the radio or you can download your own playlists! You can also download your favorite radio apps!

I use it for Google Search and also Youtube and it works well for them. I have not used it for Google hangouts or Google Music. Send Wolvo a note, they usually get back to you within a few hours.Their customer service is excellent.

Although I haven't used it yet, I have an app called AppMgr that will do that. Why haven't I used it? Using the SD card for music, not apps...:-)

Wish I could be of more help. I have a Galaxy Note 2 and it works just fine when I plug it into the headphone jack on the phone. Have you tried checking your settings on the phone itself? I also have my car antenna down to lessen the outside interference of radio stations. Hubby has a Note III and it also works just fine. The transmitter has an on/off switch on the side as well that you may want to check. Hope this helps and you get it working.

I'm not sure, about using it with Voice Memos; I never tried that. But the BlueFire app is free, and works really well.

Pandora through Bluetooth acts as an app on the stereo. You have full control, all album info, and the ability to find or change music using the Pandora app. that automatically loads on your phone when started on the stereo. Pandora actually works very well compared to other Bluetooth stereo's I have used in vehicles. As for google music, you have to use the phone as an bt audio device so don't expect the amount of control through the stereo as Pandora allows. Not 100%, but I think it does show album info. Also, the touchscreen is far better than I was expecting.

I probably won't be any help because I'm using it on a Galaxy Note 2, by it doesn't work for me. Only the data side, and that speed working just about 3 days ago.

It only works with Windows Media Player. it has a small number of apps that came with it that aren't really very helpful, it looks like they went "pretty" over "Functionality" and scouring the web, pretty much all the app sites for aftermarket apps are gone now, but I DID find a program called Aida64 that can be used to create custom apps, that's all I've used since I made one for system stats. and game support for it is pretty light. google it and read the wiki on the g19 and you can see the list of games that support it. nothing terribly new so not sure if games are even trying to offer support.

I have a Samsung Note 3 and it works great. When I updated my version of Android to 4.4.2, I had to unpair then re-pair and connection has been flawless ever since. Audio quality is much better than I expected. Better than using the patch cable.
