For this reason, Phone Amego will normally close the Bluetooth audio connection transferring the audio back to your phone unless you select Answer or Speakerphone from your Mac (HandsFree when Controlled from Mac). You might have carried your cell phone to another room when a call arrives and not be able to hear your Mac easily. Since you are using your Mac as a speakerphone, just because your Mac is turned on does not mean you want call audio routed to your Mac. This is how the Hands-Free Profile (HFP) normally works (Accept HandsFree Always). If you were using an actual Bluetooth headset, any time your headset was turned and within range of your phone, you would expect call audio to be routed to your headset. The options below let you choose whether you want the call audio on your Mac, on your Phone, selectable based on which device you answer from, or to use a separate Bluetooth headset. By default, Bluetooth HFP always sends the call to the headset which would be your Mac in this case. To your cell phone, Phone Amego looks like a Bluetooth Hands-Free headset. Notice Phone Amego Allows a Different User Interface Model If your cell phone doesn't respond as expected, confirm the connection status shows your phone is "Connected and Ready". To enable/disable the Bluetooth Speakerphone for dialing or when a call comes in, select Use Speakerphone from the action menu. You can also transfer the call audio to your cell phone by selecting the desired "Audio Source" from your phone. With Phone Amego connected and a call in progress (dialed or received), you can transfer the audio between your Mac and your cell phone by selecting Transfer Audio to Computer or Transfer Audio to Phone from the action menu at the lower right of the Call Status window. If you have earbuds attached to your phone, press Option-Answer to answer a call without engaging the speakerphone. If you have a headset or microphone attached to your Mac, you can select the desired Hands-Free device under the "More" tab or in System Preferences -> Sound. It may take an extra second or two for the audio to connect. This will answer the call and route the call audio to the default output device (speaker) and default input device (microphone) on your Mac. When a call comes in, select Answer along the lower right of the Call Status window. In my experience, Bluetooth audio does not work on some Mac systems for reasons beyond the scope of Phone Amego.įor cell phones that work with a Bluetooth headset, Phone Amego enables your Mac to act as a Hands-Free speakerphone.
