Hello all,

I have a problem that perhaps one of you can help me with.

I use Google Voice on my cell, and my car is equipped with
on-board Bluetooth (BT). I have a Tasker profile that will detect incoming
calls while connected to BT, and will type 1 automatically when I answer
the call. This works great when I answer the call by swiping the screen.
But when I answer the call via a BT device (pressing the answer button),
something goes wrong with the connection between the BT device and the
phone. I can't hear anything nor can they hear me. This happens with both a
BT earpiece and the car. Frankly, I expected the BT "answer" to be a
"offhook" event, but I guess I was wrong. Does anyone here understand the
difference, and, most importantly, know if there is a BT-answer
button-press event that one can somehow hook into?

Thanks all,

I have the almost same trouble.
try to cure it with Phone->BT Voice->Off; Phone->BT Voice->On Actions if BT
is connected. The context is State "Call Any".

Ha! Got it!

The problem was that the Wait I had placed between accepting the call
(phone off hook while incoming call), and typing 1 was too short. I had it
for 2 seconds. I bumped it to 6 just to test, and it worked. Bumping it
back down to 3 still worked. It seems like I was not giving the phone
enough time establish the BT connection (i.e. handshaking) with the BT
device - the attempt would simply time out (perhaps phone was too busy
running  Tasker..). I either need a faster phone, or to just increase the
wait to 3 seconds. I will live with the 3 sec delay :)

Thanks to all of you who give it a thought!

Yup! That did it! It now works like a champ.

Thanks much - I had spent an inordinate amount of time trying to figure
this out.
