Ok I was looking through the market and found a ton of bluetooth off/on apps but I'm looking for something that will let me use my BT for say listening to my music player. My Blueant Z9i is capable because my boss uses it on his phone all the time. I know windows mobile has something like this to where you can here all the sounds in the BT while your phone is on silent....
Am I just out of luck here or did I just miss the app and or post about it?

You should be able to use your BT for listening to music without having to use an app.
I use the motorola EQ5. The nexus pairs with it, no problems.
Are you referring to something else, maybe?
nope thats it, its weird same bluetooth different device and it plays everything through it... Hmm..
what are other people using I have a plantronics as well but have never seemed to like the motorolas since my first one but if thats the only one that will play music I'll have to get it.
when I press and hold options my only option under profiles is phone.
Sorry for the quircky title.
I want to get myself the HD2, since I just love the screen and it's pretty tweakible . However, I can't hold a phone at my ear for a long time, so I want to use a Bluetooth Stereo headset. But, I will not be wearing the plugs in my ear during the entire day, so I need the following feature:
1. When connected to the Bluetooth Stereo Headset, I want the sound of incoming calls, sms, mms, email, whatever... via the speaker on the phone.
2. When I answer a call, I want the audio to go over the Bluetooth Stereo Headset.
3. When I play music, watch video, etc, I want all the audio from 1. and 2. to go over the Bluetooth Stereo Headset.
4. When the Bluetooth Stereo Headset is not connected I want all the audio to go via the speaker on the phone.
Can this be done by a default solution, or do I need to download free / buy commercial software for this or is it just not possible?
I can't find the answer anywhere, so that's why I'm asking.
Thank you for any and all answers.
hi,
you should get a headset that supports both bt audio protocols 1. hands-free for phonecalls and 2. stereo audio for music and systemsounds. i have 2 of these devices, when they connected all music and systemsounds are redirected to the headset, also phonecalls. the only thing that the speaker of the phone plays are the ringtones for incomming calls. the only thing not working of your list is the notification for sms, mms etc. because the hd2 is playing them as normal audio, so you hear them on the headset and not at the speaker. but that may depend on the rom you use.

Thanx madbird. All I needed to know. I can live with this idea. For the other notifications there might be a led feature, so that solves yet another question. Sill doubting between X10 and HD2 though...
I remember I saw a registry modification here on XDA to force the sound of ringing through the main speaker and not through the headset, I just don't remember where.... google it.

I found some posts. However, I can't test anything, since I don't have the HD2. Yet. After watching another gazillion youtubes regarding the HD2 I will get it. I just can't get myself to part from outlook yet and keep all my contacts/calendar/tasks etc in 'the cloud'...
Why part from outlook? No need to, I do everything with outlook like the past 6 years and don't use the myphone thing...

Sorry, I'm mixing posts again . I was in doubt between the X10 and the HD2. After watching and reading quite some (p)reviews and youtube movies, I do see the power of Android, but integration with Outlook is slim to none. Yes, I can use Moxier, but that would give me 2 contact databases (from what I understoord anyways), missing the integration fun. And I don't want to use Google calendar/mail/taks etc, since they lack integration. It will come, but I need that stuff today, not tomorrow.
Short version: I do not want to part from Outlook , it's one of the main reasons for me not switching to Android...
I just got these cheap Chinese BT heatsets, yay! so far so good. But, I'm wondering if I ordered them for nothing. Is there a way to have application sound or music played through the BT. For example, I want to listen to Pandora or Some Mp3s on the phone thru the BT, but application sound only comes thru the phone itself, any suggestions?
Thanks in Advance,

I'm not sure if it's the same as your issue, but mine seems to cut out every once and a while when streming. Seems to only happen when another process is being accesed. It's like BT is on the bottom priority for CPU and Mem.
I have 1 1/2 hour comute to work and before I start the Pandora stream, I stop all other programs from running. Even when 'Sync', well Syncs, it will cause he BT to cut out for a moment.
Good Luck

I have no stuttering, if that's what you mean.
Only bug I've noticed with BT (and I don't even know if this the manufacturer's fault, or the rom I'm running), but sometimes after I turn off bluetooth, sounds that normally go to the rear speaker (like music, the alarm clock, etc), will instead be piped to the ear speaker.
But a simple reset, or going into and out of bluetooth mode usually fixes that.
Make sure that WiFi is off too, that will also make the stream skip.
I have noticed that if wifi is turned on, but not connected to any networks, then the bluetooth audio will cut out every 30 seconds or so for half a second (when the epic scans for wifi networks). If wifi is off, or if it is connected to a network, I never have this problem.
This was bothering me when I used my phone to listen to music in my car. So, I used Locale to disable the wifi whenever it connected to my car stereo. Problem fixed!
Hope this helps
How did you guys get the music to stream over bluetooth?

I have this same issue. It's only on the Froyo beta ROMs.
I have all of the problems above described. The music player issue does not get better when i turn off every running process, including wifi, gps, etc. Same thing with bluetooth or playing from the earpiece. I was hoping that the OTA 2.2 release would fix this because of "enhanced bluetooth support", but i didnt realize it was happening with just the music player alone (at first i thought it was only bluetooth that I was having the problem with).
Does anyone know if this problem goes away if you download a third party music player such as Winamp or one of the others?
I am running 2.1 DI18, rooted FWIW.
Only with Last.fm does it skip. Sirius, Pandora and slacker all play fine. However remote controls don't work with Viper version c.

Your headset has to support media media audio routing.. a2dp I think is what its called.

+1 heavy like Flash Player. I noticed that if I have my BT headphones going, the flash video will stutter like a sumb!tch and it slows the vid to less than half speed. I've noticed this on any and all dk28 roms I've tested. I wish this could be easily fixed.

Hi folks, I've been having this very frustrating problem with A2DP that I can't seem to find anywhere else on the forums.
My bluetooth headset (Nokia BH-905i) connects to my nexus 4 just fine, and I've been using it to listen to music since I get my nexus in january. But recently, every time I connect my headset, and I go to play any music or other sounds that play through the media channel, it comes out the speaker on the phone. In addition, when I use the volume slider I get the "speaker" icon instead of the "bluetooth" icon that I used to get.
My bluetooth headset has worked fine since the OTA update, it's just very recently (last week or two) that this issue has been happening.
The first time it happened, a simple reboot would fix it, now I can reboot and re-pair the headset all I want, it just won't work.
Has anyone else had this issue?
PS. I will also add that the next/previous track buttons still work, but the play/pause button DOES NOT! Very strange!!!
Am I seriously the only one with this problem?

What music player app are you using? That could be the problem right there. I sometimes have this problem with my JVC Arsenal head unit, but usually disabling and re-enabling bluetooth does the trick. Don't have to unpair or reboot, just toggle BT on and off.
Anyone know how to get the track info to transmit? It used to work with Apollo and Pandora, but it won't work with Spotify or anything else. In fact, it doesn't work at all on the N4
I use DSub, but I've tried google music, and also any other "media" sounds don't go through the headset as well ie: Youtube, games, etc.

have you checked the device profiles in the bluetooth menu? there is an option for phone audio, and an option for media audio, check them both
Yes I'm sure, I've also toggled them multiple times to try and get it working...
I also have this same problem. I'm using CM 10.1 nightlies
For some reason I able to pair my phone but not the audio.
In the Bluetooth settings though I only have the option for phone audio and not media audio. After checking on a couple of forums, it shows that my radio does support Bluetooth streaming through a2dp, but for some reason I cannot get it to work on my phone...
Edit:
It seems as though A2DP is broken in CM 10.1 as in stock android roms. I'm not 100% about this, but thats what it looks like.
Hi,
I do use AD2P audio a lot, and never had this issue (Sony MW1).
I m using exclusively AOSP or AOKP based roms (never use stock CM 10.1 because of how silly big is the navbar), but I can give it a shot during my next flashing session for testing
I don't have any problem pairing the audio. The checkbox goes and the headset actually beeps. It's connected, android just isn't sending the audio to the headset.
Me too

I've got the same issue.
I have tried with both jawbone and jabra headsets, no joy.
If I toggle bt on/off/on, connect the headset and then try playing music immediately I get ~1 second of audio over bluetooth before it goes silent.
I'm currently on PA 3.15 with moles kernel, but am going to try some other kernel/rom combos.
if anyone knows which logs i should be looking at i'm happy to upload them
Not quite the same problem, my music plays out of the phone speaker. Also I'm running stock rom.

If i wait more than 1 or 2 seconds after connecting my headset it comes out of the speaker also, as the bt media connection dies. I only get the little bit of audio if i hit play right after I connect the headset
I managed to find a very strange work around...
I installed this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sImNvbS5tYXhpc3Rhci5tb25vYmx1ZXRvb3RoZnJlZSJd
I turned on the app, and I could listen to music over mono mode (which sounds AWFUL). I then turned the app off, and when I changed the volume with the volume buttons I noticed the volume bar was displaying the bluetooth icon instead of the speaker icon.
My app was playing music, I didn't hear anything, but my headset was still outputting the characteristic 'hiss' of being in mono mode. So I went into the bluetooth settings and turned off mono mode, and now it is playing music through A2DP finally... We'll see if this problem occurs again and I'll see if the same process fixes it again. I'm just glad it's finally working again without resetting my phone.
I just wanted to update my post for anyone else who might have this problem in the future. I've performed this fix once before my last post and I haven't had to do it again, I've also uninstalled that app and everything is still working great.
It worked for me too!
Thanks to PickleHead and his workaround I'm listening again.
Thanks!!!
Media audio VS. Call Audio
Hi,
I have Samsung galaxy S3 with android 4.1.2 connected to my fordAudio BT device.
I am playing music using the original media player that came with the Android.
The BT connects quickly, but I can't hear the media I'm playing.
Recently I have discovered a "workaround":
When I disable the "call audio" (using the BT menu in settings) and leaves only the "media audio" checked, I am able to hear the media play.
If I re-enables the "call audio", the sound mutes immediately.
Does this helps to understand the issue?

I'm having exactly the problem described here, but this solution doesn't work for me. I have a Galaxy S4 and the bluetooth media audio sometimes works when I boot the phone up, but later it doesn't work. I tried this MonoBluetooth app and it doesn't seem to help. When I tell it to turn on the the mono signal, it says the media is disconnected even though the bluetooth module says it is connected to the AD2P device with media audio. On cases where it does connect, it seems to work, but in that case the bluetooth works with out this app fine.
I'm running 4.2.2 and see this on both the MDK and ME7 code base. I'm looking for a good soluton. I tried the Bluetooth Fix Repair on Google Play, but it can't seem to find my bluetooth configuration folders.

I have had exactly this problem for a couple of days with my S4 connected to my Jabra Freeway car speaker. Also in my case, disabling call audio makes the music pass through, but then I can't use the phone via the speaker which is sort of the whole purpose of the thing!
But I just found a simple workaround: I simply called my phone from another phone to check that phone audio passed through with both options enabled. It did. But it also cured the problem: After the call, media audio worked again - with both options checked.

I'd be interested to know if this fixes the problem for any length of time. Occasionally, and usually after a reboot, I can use the media audio, but then it fails when I try it again. Fiddling with the connections and apps sometimes makes it come back on, but usually only for a short while. While it is connected, it seems to stay connected.
