BT Headset works for calls but not music??

I have a 8125 with a Nokia BH-600 bt headset. It works great when talking on the phone but I really want to listen to music too...
Is it possible to play music through the Nokia BT headset?
I have Media Player, Sound Recorder, and the CORE movie player but none of them play sound through the Nokia BH-600 headset! I also have a Moto H700 if that makes a difference.
Thanks!

I am not an expert on this topic so someone can correct me if im wrong, but you cannot play music through your bluetooth headset unless the headset is A2DP compatible. You also need the A2DP hack that can be found here:

Anyway, to get an A2DP headset, look on eBay; you can normally find them for around 60-80 shipped, for a quality one. The hack is a cab file that just needs to be installed before pairing the headset.
Hope that helps.

Being dumb here... how does this hack work?

I posted the link in my above post. Basically, just download the hack, copy it over to you phone, and click on it using file explorer and it will install. I am pretty sure it just adds to registry tweaks and DLL certificates, but I am not 100% sure. All i know is that is works great! After the install and a soft reset, when you pair a A2DP headet, it will have the option for setting as wireless stereo. Take a look at the thread above for more information.

Ah, so then any audio that that gets produced on the phone gets streamed on to the BT headset?
Sounds promising. I was wondering if there was a way to get navigation commands to go through my car BT kit.

I also wanted to be able to do that, as I have a bluetooth speakerphone in my car. I do no think this is possible with just a regular bluetooth headset or speakerphone.
However, I do think if you have an A2DP headset the navigation sound will come through. I am not sure if your car kit is a speaker phone or a headset, but if you prefer a speakerphone in the car (as I do), I highly doubt it's possible, because I dont think anyway speakerphone is A2DP enabled. Nevertheless, people on this forum have done more amazing things so search around, you may find something.
And yes you are correct, after the pairing, any audio that gets produced by your phone will come via the headset (hence my thinking for navigation working with A2DP headsets)

Hmm, i have got a parrot ck3000. Not sure if it is A2DP compatible. Is this hack/cab file uninstallable? lol, im asking so many questions! I think i might just give it a try.

Heres a question (as these forums are a mess and i can never find anything), Is A2DP included in any of the latest roms? I am running the AKU2 rom that t-mobile last released, so i assume that some of the cooked roms are miles better.

your options
There are 2 ways to approach this issue:
1.) A2DP hack or updated ROM (for the best possible sound quality) needs an A2DP compatible headset/headphones or home BT transceiver.
2.) Mono BT hack for BT headset (you lose Voice Dial) has the lesser sound quality of the mono audio channel (the one you hear when on a phone call) See this tutorial for more details and options.
I highly recommend any and all BlueTooth articles by Menneisyys one of our Moderators.
See his articles on BlueTooth and more here.

Awsome! Thanks for the link to that article. I will give the BTAudioNav a try to see if this works how i want it to! Coolio! Thanks

Ah balls it. It looks like its just another constant streaming program. Shame, i would have loved to just get the commands to be said and then the radio wont be contantly cut out.

my 2cents
Just installed this .cab on my wizard (o2 xda mini s, G3 un-updated at all.)
Works a treat, I'd foolishly bought a a2dp headset without checking compatibility and now it is compatable.

trying to hear my ringtones through my bluetooth headset

anyone what needs to be done in order to be able to hear my ringtones from my mogul through my bluetooth. when i used to have my sprint moto q, i could hear them no problem and i didnt have to do anything. hope you guys can help.

im wondering this too, i have a motorola s9 headset that plays my music in stereo just fine, but it wont play custom ringtones, just a generic ringer, which means i have to get my mogul out of its holster to see whos calling, which sortof defeats the purpose of handsfree IMO
ive read that simply enabling A2DP should allow the ringtones to work, but i still just get a generic ringer

well i just flashed my mogul with jd's rom and it comes with audio gate. this program is pretty cool. i can hear my ringtones (in generic form) and i even get a computerized voice that tells me the phone number thats calling. very cool. too bad it wont say the name of the contact, but still pretty awesome. hope this helps. funny thing is when i had my q the quality of the ringtone was like the quality of my music

Bluetooth for audio output?? Can't get to work!

Hi,
I've got a 3xx series Plantronics headset and i've got a question about using it for more than JUST calls.
Can I use it for watching movies?? at the moment, when the movie plays, it automatically goes to loudspeaker, even whilst paired.
I know of something called A2DP, but I'm not sure that my BT headset is that... Can I install something or change some setting to make the music/movie play through my present headset??
Thanks!!

A2dp is a stereo profile, should be active if you have a stereo headset and are listening to anything stereo on the phone. I've been having trouble getting A2DP to stay active on my phone as well, but I just read about a program called A2DP Toggle found Here seems to be working for me tho I'm not sure its what your looking for.

Well I don't own a stereo BT headset. Just a normal one-ear one.
I want to know if there is a way to port the movie/music sounds through it.
So I think its a bit different to your case. Anyone else?? Thanks

btw, I've used a simple bluetooth headset with my PC before and it ported all the sounds from the PC to my earpiece... so technically it should be the same case for phone? I hope there's a way...

Thanks jonasd,
It seems like its an old thread - any newer applications that are similar?
Does the toggle application for for your X1??

Bypass A2DP on demand

I have this issue with my HTC BT Headset which when paired and connected will receive all sounds including games and system sounds. Sometimes even the ringer will only sound in the headset and not on the phone (this happened at rare occasions).
I have edited the settings of my headset and unchecked the option for media but then it comes back again when I connect again.
Now, I want to be able to divert audio back to the device when for example I play a game or play a media clip. The only thing I see on the screen in the message that audio is being played on the BT headset.
I am sure there must be a key sequence to bypass this but I can't figure it out.

Sorry I have no solution, but just to say I have similar issues. My HTC headset picks up the audio from Copilot.... which I suppose is no bad thing in itself, except that the sound drops out all the time... which is pretty useless on satnav! Not sure whether this is a problem with the phone or the headset (whihc is otherwise working fine). I'd just like to switch off the A2DP feature too.

Yes, on Stock ROMs and selected custom roms that specifies support for bluetooth headsets.

Just to report on this topic.
There isnt native support for playing music through bluetooth headset (the profile is for it is HSP - headset profile), its only ment for calls. A2DP is profile is for stereo music but its only in more expensive devices with stereo headphones. Many people addressed this issue http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=7906 and its really weird that Android doesnt support this. But not to worry there are ways of getting music on mono bluetooth headset. One way is to pair with earphone, play music and then go to dialer and call three asteriks "***" but call is ended after about 30 seconds. Second way is through third party apps. First one I tried is Super BT Mono but isnt working with pcfighters CM7, but other app that I tested on this ROM is BTmono which is working flawlessly so anyone who is having problem like this the BTmono is the answer.
