Bluetooth audio playback

Hi all
Just got the I-mate and a bluetooth headset. It works fine as far as phone calls are concerned. But I cannot playback audio (MP3's..etc) through it! Any clue?
Another thing is that the foldable keyboard for the XDA doesn't work with it! Is there a new driver?

The Pin Assignment from MDA and MDA II ist a little bit
different. Perhaps thats the reason....

I believe that the bluetooth headset profile only supports voice calls. It's not able to listen to other audio.

although this may be possible with a software upgrade as the ipaq 5550 works perfectly for audio output through a bluetooth headset

yeah, i read that too..there are two patches available for the Ipaq: A free patch, the installation of which did not go through, and a commercial one that I purchased, and this disabled all audio output from the XDA-II!
I am sure there is a solution, just hope we woun't have to wait for long.
As for sound quality, I've read that it is a bit poor, but I still wouldn't mind!
Waiting for a genius

Any solution to this problem yet? I really want to play audio (in that case audio books from audible) via bluetooth.

I've got the jabra 200 BT earset. It has a small cradle for use with phones with no BT support. Now that has what seems to be the same speaker jack as the earphone with the XDA II. So if you have a jabra just pair the headset with the cradle and plug the cradle into your phone. Not perfect but would be interesting to see if it works.
Please note I've not tried this.

mmm.. sounds logic, i think it would work. I heard there will be a new ROM edition with audio playback over bluetooth. No idea as to when, though

[Q] Audio (music) over bluetooth

Hello,
I have a problem with getting Android music over LG HBM-220 bluetooth headset.
I can pair the headset normally with my LG GT540 mobile phone, and they work fine when i am making calls, but the audio (music) does not work.
Why is that so? Is there some application i need to install to transfer audio over bluetooth, or the headset doesn't work with audio?
Thanks for your time.

Anyone? Please reply if you know anything?

I don't think Android can do this out of the box, try searching around Google and Android market, because I am intrigued about this too.

I have the same problem, and Android actually suports streaming by bluetooth, the problem its that Swiftdroid (the Modded Ver.) dont support it. Im looking for a solution.

Audio
I think Swiftdroid only supports audio calls but not media playback. :/

Stupid question, but how good is audio quality over bluetootha headphones? I supose file with big bitrate dont stream in full bitrate. Or i'm wrong?

I think the Bluetooth technology on the LG GT540 doesn't support Enhanced Data Rates (EDR), so it will result in a lower quality.

Would seem that it does (I could'a sworn that it didn't... guess I never checked the specs sufficiently), however I have tried to sort out some kind of 3rd party Media->Bluetooth and have managed to get it to work... sorta, but the quality has always been damn horrid (not to mention it only ever works while the screen is on, and not locked). -- This may be due to the fact that SwiftDroid does not have native support for Media->Bluetooth and therefore may be missing vital library/module components needed to utilize Bluetooth EDR.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.bedoig.BTmono <--- seems this one works now, streams *all* the audio to bluetooth and still works with screen off/locked. (however it may increase battery usage pretty hard, as it constantly streams to headset... even if it's just static!)

Well....i can use my headphones perfectly with Swiftdroid.....even the screen is lock or unlock.
And sound is....so goood!!
I play music over bluetooth and make/receive calls.

maybe it's the quality of the listening device and the bluetooth adapter

Bluetooth with Skype?

Can anyone confirm making a skype call on the xoom with a bt headset? Skype doesn't officially support bluetooth, but I've been searching around and have seen people getting different results. There are some saying that it works fine with A2DP headsets, but I'm sure none of those were running Honeycomb. There are others saying A2DP headsets only give you the earpiece audio and the mic doesn't work. I would really appreciate some help with this so I don't have to buy and return 5 different headsets.

Bluetooth headset on the a500

Has anyone successfully found a Bluetooth headset that works with Skype? Seems like only stereo headsets work for listening only... I found a wired headset that works for talking and listening.. but I think the microphone support for Bluetooth is broke.. doesn't work on my a100 either but wired does.... lame of Acer to put out tablets like that.. my galaxy s3 works great bluetoothing with skype..

MK808B Bluetooth Sound Input Option?

Well I bought an MK808 last year and was pretty impressed with the little stick, so I decided to buy an MK808B this summer so I could use my BT headet/mic for Skype calls etc., as well as voice search functions...
I paired the headset and could hear audio from the MK808B but could not use the mic...
I'm somewhat frustrated that it doesn't appear to have an option to use BT as an input for sound - why this would be the case I have no idea as every other android device that I own with BT works perfectly,,,
Has anybody managed to get BT audio input working with an MK808B?

I'm using USB Skype phone.
You could also try some USB sound card with audio out and mic in.

I hear what you are saying but the reason I bought the MK808B was to use BT for sound, seems strange that it doesn't work for mic input, there must be something that makes it work?
I've got Skype running on my MK808 using mic sound input from a Microsoft USB webcam but as it's hooked up to a 50" TV the mic is pretty far away when sitting on the couch.
Bluetooth was really the best option when using PC stick device....

Did you ever find a way to get a BT mic to wrk with your 808B plus?
I can't either.
Im in contact with the manufacturer.
