I have been having a heck of a time trying to figure out why my bluetooth headset volume is so low. The bluetooth call volume is fine but the MS Voice Command, Media player, etc volume is low. I have played around with the AudioPara.csv file but it has never made any difference. If I plug my wired headphones first, then turn on my AudioGateway program the volume is perfect and the sound quality is excellent. So my question is, is there a way that I can force the phone to think it has a headphone connected before I enable the AudioGateway? I know that the phone can tell when the headphones are connected because if I try to run the HTC equalizer it tells me to connect the headphones first.
I have done tons of research and testing and I am still coming up empty.
I would like to ask a favor, I need someone who has a Bluetooth headset and a stock wired stereo headset.
First install acbToggleBT, this program allows you to open a connection between your headset and your phone. You can skip this step if you already have a toggle program.

Next, play an .mp3 using windows media player or your favorite player.
Leave the stereo wired headset unplugged and run acbToggleBT, this will connect your phone to your headset. You should hear music through your Bluetooth headset. Make a mental note of the sound quality and volume. Run acbToggleBT again to turn off the bluetooth connection. Plug in your wired headset so you hear the music. Now run acbToggleBT agian.
Is the sound quality much better? Is the volume twice as good?
I have been playing with the AudioPara.csv file but the settings don't seam to help. I found the Speakerphone uses the settings in rows:
A12,CE_PLAYBACK_HANDSFREE
F26,CE_PLAYBACK_HANDSFREE
I found the HeadPhones use the setting in the rows:
A17,CE_PLAYBACK_RESET
F25,CE_PLAYBACK_HEADSET
I also figured out Column 4 affects the volume. I tried coping row F25 into F26 thinking that the bluetooth was using the Headphone settings when the headset is plugged in. I also copied the rows into the bluetooth row and it didn't make any difference.
I have one of those little mini usb to 2.5mm stereo adapters. If I plug the adapter in before I activate my bluetooth is sounds great.
I have come to the conclusion that I need an application or program that can enable the headset profile before toggling the bluetooth connection. Effectively making the mini usb trick unnecessary.
One final though, I am using a plantronics 510. Maybe its the difference between a stereo connection and a mono connection. Maybe plugging in the stereo adapter fools the bluetooth to think it should connect in stereo. Is there a trick to make the phone think the bluetooth headset is a stereo device?
Has anybody figured out a way to disable the built-in speaker when listening to music on a wired headset? Currently my shadow (running 6.1) plays the music out of BOTH the built-in speaker AND the headphones when using them. If I use a BT headset and the BTAudio program (to force all sounds to the BT headset) then the sound does NOT come out of the built-in.
I should note that I'm using one of those cable converters to convert the HTC headset jack to a standard 2.5mm jack.
Can anybody else reproduce this?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
hi Everyone,
is there a way to assign headset button to control third party music player other than TF3D music player?
Thanks.
Hi, I think some more information would be helpful to allow someone to answer your question. Are you talking about a wireless Bluetooth connection (and is it Stereo or mono) or a wired connection (like the headphones that come with the HD2)? I believe that the functions of headset buttons are usually hardcoded to the headset and based on the vendors interpretation of the connection standards (Like A2DP or AVRCP on Bluetooth). Also, what is the music player you wish to use? Although Windows Media Player and the built in HTC player work fine for me on my Motorola wireless bluetooth and wired HTC Headset. Media Center for Windows Mobile seems to ignore my headset controls (the HTC player opens when I pres a button when using Meda Center foir Windows Mobile).
Sorry I can't actually answer your questions but if you submit further infromation perhaps someone can help you.
Regards.

Not ideal I realize, but you can get a Bluetooth adapter for your TV for about $30
TaoTronics TT-BA01 Wireless Portable Bluetooth Stereo Music Transmitter (Not A Bluetooth Receiver) for 3.5mm Audio Devices (iPod, MP3/MP4, TV, Kindle Fire, Media Players...) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004B8GF7Y/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_AYaQub10TC9DQ
my bluetooth beanie wont pair either.
Unfortunately my LG 3d tv doesnt even have a 3.5mm port! only optical or hdmi
Pairing Successful!
I found a workaround to pair my LG HBS-830 since doing a regular bluetooth search in the nexus player doesn't detect any headphones.. However, I'm now looking for another workaround to actually route the audio to the headphones!
To pair your headphones, just install ES File Explorer, and when you open it, there is an option to use bluetooth to connect to other devices in order to transfer files. However, when you do a scan for devices, the headphones actually show up (when set in pairing mode), and by clicking on it, it will automatically pair and appear in the nexus player's list of paired bluetooth devices.
By switching your headphones off/on, it automatically connects to your nexus player and even shows connected under the list of bluetooth devices, however no audio is routed to the headphones by default.. it is still routed to TV speakers.
So here you go, pairing is done.. let's now try to route audio to those headphones!
Hope this helps!

i was able to pair my headphones but they show up as a remote...its pretty silly not to ahve bluetooth audio built into this device. how about a "the wife is asleep" mode lol
My pom100 headphones pair just fine but I wanted a Bluetooth receiver I could use with my audio technicas. I have an mpow I use for the car and I tried using it with the nexus player. It can see it but cannot pair. Anyone have a receiver that DOES work?

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.
