There seems to be no way to listen to music or the soundtrack of a video via Bluetooth a2dp ...
Tried with both the music player and vplayer but each time the sound only comes from the phone speaker and not the Bluetooth device.
Anyone managed this?
It works with the stock rom but I haven't seen any custom roms with it fully operational for media, just for calls.

Thanks, it seems there are a couple of widgets in the market that add the functionality. At least it's not a hardware limitation.
What apps are those? I want to try them please.

I have no problem with the stock ROM but i do use this...
A2DP Volume, you can get it on the market, it's Free.
The one I tried was called bluetooth audio widget, free trial. Will try a2dp volume though as the one I tried seemed to interfere with dsp manager so I installed.
Just tried a2dp volume and it doesn't work for me. That's with leedroid v1.2. Maybe this only works on stock?
Got a2dp volume to work. Seems to do the job well for audio only but has anyone tried watching a video using Bluetooth a2dp for sound? Everything is completely out of sync. I don't there is anyway round this but thought I'd put it out there?
Same with stock player and vplayer.
Just tried Bluetooth audio widget again from the market and this keeps the audio in sync nicely, the only problem being that the quality is pathetic.
Anyone know of a better alternative that keeps audio and video sync?

Androids retarded handling of the bluetooth remote control profile is really getting on my nerves.
No matter what application I have open and want my BT-headset to control, it always defaults to the standard music player.
Is there any way to make it control Spotify, Acast, Droidlive, etc. instead?
Sorry no answer for you but just wanted to say I have exaactly the same problem and just came on here to ask if anyone knew anything about.
Also, do you have any stutter when using A2DP? I'm using a Sony in-car stereo and spotify stutters every ~10 seconds. Doesn't happen using aux in. Haven't tried A2DP using the built in music player rather than spotify though.
@HTC - Please either let us specify which app receives the AVRCP commands or just automatically route it to the currently playing app.

I've found that stutter was caused by having wifi turned on. Switching it off fixed everything.
I've installed an app called Y5 that is supposed to automatically switch off wifi if i'm somewhere i haven't used it before, which is everywhere but my house. If I need it, i'll turn it on manually.
Below is the response I got from HTC when I enquired about the crappy AVRCP:
No. At this time, AVRCP only works with the HTC Palyer. The G1 worked differently as it did not have touchflo and used the base android rom instead.
i will report this to the developers, but i do not know if or when they will fix it, as they obviously already have priorities for adding/removing/updating the ROMs.
best regards,

So that's that then. Fail.
Is there anything that can be done by other developers?
Or if enough people want it, force HTC to look into extending AVRPC to other apps?
whoops, double post!

I dunno about the apps you mention but I use TuneWiki and it has an option to "Enable Headset Button" When this option is on it responds to the AVRCP buttons and the standard music app does not.
I can assure you that what declanshanaghy says is not true. declanshanaghy obviously does not understand the problem here. It's not that an installed app will fail to respond to AVRCP signals and instead the Andriod "default app" will, rather it's that on the HTC Hero the "default app" is not the Android "default app" rather a specialized HTC music player that intercepts and steals the AVRCP controls from any other app playing media. This includes this TuneWiki app too. I know, I just downloaded it and tried it and it fails miserably. I can play one song with TuneWiki, then hit Play on my Bluetooth headset and the HTC music player will play a second song resulting in two songs playing at the same time.
HTC did this on their WinMo phones too but Conduit's PocketPlayer managed to figure out how to fix HTC's silly mistake. Unfortunately Conduits PocketPlayer doesn't run on Android.
I'm looking for a good podcatcher/media player that can get around the HTC problem and that properly responds to AVRCP controls. Anybody know of one?
hi..
I also dont like this.. how.. my BlueTooth Stereo headset can not control the current player I am using...
I wish there is a way.. to get control over our music!!!
1.. able to use our music with our bluetooth devices..
2.. better EQ / any EQ for better music enjoyment
My android 2.0(1) Milestone never had any problem with this. I use spotify with my wonderful Philips SHB9000 without a hitch. Oh and Milestone got an equlizer now (2.0.1), though it don't work with bluetooth. Shame, I want slightly louder bass.
just in case anyone is bothered by this issue also. I found a ghetto work around.
I moved all my music on my sdcard to /sdcard/.mp3 (the default music player doesn't search . folders)
then I install mortplayer and this "headset button fix" program and now my headset only controls mortplayer. Although I think it tries to control the default music player but since there is no media in the library it doesn't have anything to do.
took me a while to get it working just right but I couldn't use the default player anymore. I was getting that studdering effect others mentioned but not with mortplayer
I have the same problem .... I use Meridian .. can not uninstall
player default?
Hey guys this is Jona developer for DroidLive. I want to include Bluetooth support. Please any ideas feedback how you like it to work please let me know
I use the "headset button fix" app available on the market and it works fine for me with mixzing and tunewiki.
My bt headset is a Motorola s9.

WIFI is one cause of stuttering. I found that I get stuttering whenever I'm listening to A2DP with WiFi on and I come in range of an access point that it tries to connect to.
HOWEVER, it is not the only time stuttering happens! Often, I get stuttering on my HTC EVO when i first pair with A2DP even though the WIFI is off. I have to exit out of the audio app (Stitcher Radio) and then relaunch it OR skip to the next track in the playliest and it stops the stuttering, So, there is another issue that needs to be fixed because those workarounds should not be needed.

Thanks for the info on the stutter problem. I was actually looking for an app that would remote control my car stereo but the stuttering issue was something that was on the back burner.
I've tried 2 apps and i have not been able to get them to work. I'm trying to get my music to play in my blue earpiece. I've tried Blue Audio and bluetunes and have not been able to get them to work... anyone else have any suggestions?
p.s
im not being cheap i have bluetooth headphones i just need a small earpiece to listen to music at work.
the quality is horrible from a BT headset or does that even matter...I have something on my computer that i'll post when I find it
The issue is not always because of the music player application.
Does your Bluetooth earpiece have A2DP support? If not, consider buying a new one that has, e.g., I listen through a Jabra BT8040 - no need to install any application to force an audio stream.
Forget it I think its one of the apps you tried

Well im using Jawbone 2.
Im not too concerned about quality because Im not going to have it on that loud.
I guess I may have to purchase a new earpiece to get that.... blah
it also works on my Blue Ant Q1, sounds good too. I didn't have to add any other apps or software

how i get mine to work is,i go to comm manager then set up bluetooth device,go to settings then advanced settings (additional setup options),then go to audio and enable play system sounds on a remote hands free device and it should work. hope that helps
Here is what you need to send stereo bluetooth to a mono bluetooth headset. I use it and it works great. You might have to play around with it for a bit to figure out how to work it. Just run the exe on your device and not on the computer. One exe sends the audio and one exe stops the audio.
bt audio
damn beat me to it james yes bt audio does work but i use a jawbone 2 & i route it through advanced bt settings in comm mgr i used to use it on my wing but iv graduated to my monster tp2
No need for BT app
On my TP2, there is an option in the BT settings to route system audio to the headset...this automatically plays my mp3's through my BT headset, mono or stereo. has worked well on any of the builds I have tried without needing to install any additional files or change any complex system settings.

haven't noticed that option before I remember some users were asking how to get the incoming calls ringtone and system sounds to play in their earpiece instead of on the phone.
nice find!
Anyone using a2dp bluetooth headphones with the htc music app on the incredible? If so, I was wondering if anyone had experienced this as well or even better if they might have a fix.
My imuff headphones pair and connect fine to the incredible. And I can hear music out of them from the music app. The big problem is that the headphone's controls don't do anything to the music. The skip foreward and back, or even the play/pause button on my headphones won't actually do any of that in the music program.
It does, however, work with btunes. However, btunes has problems of its own for me and I'd really rather use htc's music program.
Edit: Looks like what I need is for AVRCP to work in the htc music app. Ironically, I found the name for it in a post by someone who was annoyed by it working in the htc music app. While for me, the issue is the music app not being able to make use of it.
I am not really sure where this question goes or where my problem lies, but here is the gist of things. I am an avid audible listener (audio books) and I don't use my phone for music. Oftentimes when I get in my car (ford sync system) it will start audible and resume playback of my audio book. Other times, it will start the default music player, which I don't even have any music loaded on the phone and don't use the player. Is there a way to disable the music player without effecting the rest of the phone's capabilities, or to make it to where it will always default to the Audible player? Also, sometimes when i get in the car, it will start the audible player, but I get no audio until I disable Bluetooth and re-enable it. I have recently installed fission rom but the problem was the same with the stock rom.
Droid 2 Andriod 2.2.1 using Fission_2.5.7_BE_DROID2
Bluetooth is a 2010 Ford w/ sync system
Any Help?
Ok, since no one here seems to have an answer, any suggestions on where else I could post this question?

In the Fission thread as it could be a ROM issue. I had some trouble with audio with my stereo bluetooth headset but I thought it was just the headset because it's two years old.
Does anyone how I can get a mono audio option for sound? I use spotify at work and would like to be able to use only one earphone...but then I miss out on half the sound. I have no issues with PowerAmp, since you can downmix to mono but have trouble everywhere else (TuneIn, Spotify, etc). So anyone know of system wide APK or function that allows for mono audio?
I do this every single day at work with podcasts.
Option 1
A2dp Bluetooth
Option 2
Super mono froyo or BT mono in play store
These "hack" your audio to a non a2dp bluetooth
Edit: I re-read your post and it seems you want better quality rather than the wireless capability. Nevertheless a2dp may still be the easier way to go.

Thanks for the response. I actually got a stereo -> mono 3.5 plug but it doesn't like to fit in the N4...works on just about everything but the N4. I think I'll just look for another stereo -> mono adapter that actually fits as BT wasn't the solution I was looking for.
