About Motolky
An Intercom over Bluetooth application.
This application offers free voice communication over Bluetooth in a small group of Android users.
This is an Open-Source software released under the BSD Licence.
Anyone is free to review, redistribute, extend, etc it. The code is on GitHub: https://github.com/sutiialex/Motolky
This application was specially designed for noisy environments, such as motorcyclist or bicyclist groups, construction work teams or any other context when two or more people, in close vicinity of each other, want to communicate, but can't do it directly.
Features:
- Tete-a-Tete - You can talk with a single person. The person may be your motorbike passenger, a rally copilot, or even your pal/neighbor who lives just next door and with whom you probably want to stay in touch.
- Group-Talk - You can talk to a small group of mates at the same time sharing the same "channel" (similar to walky-talky).
- VAD (Voice Activity Detection) - If this feature is enabled, the application will transmit data only when speech is detected.
- Automatic Reconnect - You don't have to connect each time you get near to your talk-mate. Once set up, the application will automatically reconnect when your talk-mate will be in the Bluetooth range.
- Speak-out-Loud - You can also use the application using your loudspeaker on your phone. For example you can put a phone in a baby's room, and watch TV in living-room, hearing exactly what your baby is doing.
Utilization:
The application has to be installed on all the Android phones in a group so you could talk to each other. When running the application, you are displayed a list of neighbor and/or paired devices and asked to select the devices you want to communicate with. By pressing “Proceed”, you agree that the selection phase has ended and that you want to proceed to communicating with the selected devices. Note that in order to successfully connect to an aforementioned device, you need it to select you as well (both devices need to cooperate in the selection phase). When you have successfully connected to another device, the status changes to “Connected”.
* If the phones do not connect, try to pair them from the phone's bluetooth settings. If they fail to pair, try restarting bluetooth on both the phones.
* Please rate and give reviews (not only when you dislike the app :-) ).

Could never get it to pair our phone. Not on the app- not in phone setting- not by opening and closing the app - not by restarting both phones. Tried many times. Really wanted to try this app since it was written by a motorcycle rider and I read about it in a couple of motorcycle forums. I downloaded Intercom for Android and the phones paired immediately. Haven't tested on the bike yet, but will write a review for it as soon as I see how it works riding. Works great in the house.

Worked well at lower speeds on the motorbike. Sound is not that great at higher speeds but this is to be expected. Nice to be able to chat with the passeger.

Works perfect with another motorbike. Good choice if you cant afford an intercom. Tried it for 1h in city traffic, low speed with wired free hands. Moto g paired with asus zenofone

Tried it with couple of galaxy S 3s. It does what it says. Most people that complain have problem with phone performance or technology limitations. Not really a developers fault.

Love the idea. And it's free. Had some issues with BT connections when the connection went out of range. Either wouldn't disconnect or would reconnect. Requires sealing earbuds to get around wind noise. It's not perfect, but if it works for you, it may be enough.

The app also sends the music being played on the phone to the other device. Requesting the Dev to correct this bug.

I was really excited about the application description for this program. Unfortunately, it didn't work at all. I could see both S3 phones but they just will not pair/connect within this app (but we can send files via BT on these phones outside this app). It would be great to have voice activated intercom functionality within a group of cyclists AND having the ability to selectively share the music playing on one of the phones would enable the whole group to be in sync IF desired. Please test on Galaxy S3... and S4 since I will be upgrading soon. Thanks, Jim

Worked great with my Moto E! We use it when on bicycle rides. Took a while to figure out that the volume controls are independent when listening to music. Must use corded headphones/mic.
