I just got myself a q, but I've no idea if it's possible to pair it with my bluetooth bookshelf speaker (Jambox). Anyone know whether it can be done? Seems like a waste to build bluetooth in if it's only used for setup.

I have even paired a PS3 controller so you can do it... but it requires rooting
once you're rooted you can quickly get into settings using keyevents (if you don't have a otg cable & a usb controller of some type (I'm using the logitech K400)).
Code:
adb shell
input keyevent 176
rest of the available keyevents are here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/KeyEvent.html

I play D&D and I'm using soundboards through my nexus 7 to my Denon home receiver. I currently have it 3.5 wired to the vaux input.
What is the most efficient manner for me to send the audio without having my nexus physically connected to my receiver?
I have googled and found some bluetooth adapter solutions but ever since my logitech keyboard windows bluetooth grief (which it finally ended up in the dumpster) I cringe at bluetooth.
I do own a spare xbox 360 but I'm not certain if it will allow me to play sounds through the soundboard or if they have to be through a dedicated audio player (which in this case would be nfg).
So yeah, anyone have an idea? Should I take the raspberry pi leap ($35)+($35 worth of proper accessories) or is there something easy?
Cheers,
Maybe I am not posting this in the right forum?
did anyone manage to get audio streaming working on CM10.1?
I only get audio through the phone speakers.
I tried with PowerAmp's feature called "Route Output" and even I set the option to my bluetooth speakers (I have the MXBT chinese bluetooth speakers).
Things that worked over bluetooth:
pair and connect to any bt device and my laptop
send file to my phone from ubuntu
I can get you the log files if you want

So, answering my own post, I've been reading around and testing a bit...
I tried yesterday Mono Bluetooth Router (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxistar.monobluetoothfree) and it surprisingly works, streaming PowerAmp to my nokia hands-free earpiece.
Does anyone know what is this CyanogenMod using as a BT driver? BlueZ or BroadComm's stack?
I read that these guys are porting BlueZ to Android 4.2, it would be nice to have this software back!

There is a post here, looking for people to work on this port ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2096399 )

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.
Hi all - is anyone here trying to the SHIELD Remote with full android rather than the stock firmware?
I am, and everything works (even volume control and headphone audio output!) except the microphone.
If anyone has any suggestions for how I could go about debugging the microphone input, I would very much appreciate it as it's the last thing preventing my setup from being perfect.
The message I see when I press the voice input button on the remote is "Can't open microphone" (screenshot at end of this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64552147&postcount=14 )
Android is clearly just not recognising it as an audio input device, but I'm not sure why.
My guess would be that the stock firmware has a kernel module loaded or some modification to the Android bluetooth stack to support bi-directional A2DP devices rather than just one way.
Has anyone here ever seen Android working with a bluetooth device with audio input? Perhaps a bluetooth headset with microphone? Does that use A2DP?
Hi there, any progress ? trying to find some solution for the same problem!

Just to answer last part.
Bluetooth headsets, mono as well as stereo, work fine on full android rom. Including microphone.
Btw, it is controlled in phone sections (headset) of the bluetooth stack and not a2dp which is headphone profile.
Google and by extention nvidia, have changed something in handling microphone from the remote, and that change is probably closed source.
Note 5 ?
Thanks for the heads up Idan73, I've actually since figured out the same thing by connecting a friends bluetooth headset to my NSTV (it worked fine).
I'm going to dig into the original nvidia rom and see if it's something simple like a system APK which is handling the remote audio input.
I assume it isn't in the kernel as I believe zulu99's full android ROM is already using the same untouched kernel from nvidia.
Hey guys,
I just got my mibox, and I'm pretty happy about it.
Nearly everything works like I imagined, but there is something, which could be improved:
I'm using a harmony remote to control my devices, and I don't really want to change that.
But when I want to use voice control, usually you have to use the Bluetooth remote with integrated microphone.
Well, I thought when I plug in an external USB microphone, it should be fine, so I ordered on (http://amzn.to/2iz1ySc).
I chose this model, because I read that you can use it with Sony android TVs for the same reason.
But when in plug in the microphone and reboot my mibox, it seems that nothing happens and the box doesn't recognize the mic.
Has anybody tried something like this before or does anybody have some ideas, tips or workarounds?
I also tried to use a Bluetooth headset, which I paired with the box, only with the result, that my AVR doesn't play anymore sounds (just the Bluetooth headset...)
