[Q] Does the nexus 7 work with bluetooth earphones? - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The other day I received a pair of plantronics backbeat GO earphones which are Bluetooth earphones. When I got these I tried to use them with my rooted nexus 7 and they paired and connected to the device fine but will not output any sound except for the connecting and disconnecting sounds the earphones make by themselves. So I was wondering if they just are not compatible with my device.

They should be, bluetooth devices such as headsets or headphones are pretty universal. Need more details to figure out why they're not working.
Also have you tried pairing them with other devices such as a laptop or another phone or tablet?

Mine work fine with it. Also pair to bt stereo and car fine.

Yeah I figured they should be compatible but unfortunately I haven't been able to test the earphones out on anything else, I am unsure as my nexus is rooted and I have installed the beats audio drivers which may have disabled the Bluetooth function but I am unsure because I don't have much experience with android

I can connect and pair with Bluetooth but audio doesn't stream and plays out of the speakers, however if I open the plantronics app I can record audio and hear it with the earphones. This problem also occurs across every player and any possible source of audio output throughout the device.

try your earphones with other devices and also try other bluetooth earphones with your N7...

I don't own any other Bluetooth earphones and everyone else in my house is tech depraved and any device they have doesn't have bluetooth

I have no problems with the earphones, it is just the device. My speakers have stopped playing at full volume and now these Bluetooth earphones won't stream. My only real concern is whether or not the app attached is the cause of my problems.

Bluetooth pairing problems

I've been attempting to pair my 15-day old Nexus 4 with a Blackberry VM-605 speakerphone. The phone does not automatically recognize the speakerphone, and I must re-pair the two devices each time I wish to stream audio from the phone to the speakerphone device. Is this normal behavior? I've paired other devices to this speakerphone, and they always "remember" each other. Thanks for the help.

bluetooth audio from phone to nexus 7

I have a nexus 7 mouted in my car, and i have a Motorola razr maxx mounted.
My nexus is connected to the car stereo with a mini jack for playing music etc.
Is there any way to transfer all sound from my phone to my nexus?
Before i got my nexus, i connected my phone with the mini jack to car stereo, and it acted as a handsfree. Thats why i need this
No, I don't think you can stream from one device to another like that without a Wifi connection. I think there are apps that will allow your 2 devices to connect to each other, but again, you would need to be on a network for it to work.
Tablet talk can be used to control phone calls and messages from it tablet , but it doesn't send voice to it speakers , you will need to use a Bluetooth speakerphone .
Or you can install a jvc x50bt and have phone audio to our car

How can I do this with WiFi?
An app that would let me remote control spotify android to android could also to the trick I think

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?

Bluetooth issues

Paired my phone with my level on Bluetooth headphones and the audio is very choppy. Didn't experience this on my note 5.
Any ideas? Will try repairing it and see if that helps.

BT audio works great for me.
Useless comment, really, I know.
I have three devices I've used it with (LG HBS-730 headset, MPOW receiver for wired headphones, and the head-unit in my car - VW RCD 310 in my '13 Golf).
Have you tried your phone with other BT audio?
Seems to be working better now.

Works better than nexus 6p with same BT devices. Only had it drop once vs daily on nexus (main reason I sold it). All BT devices can have a little different stack and that includes phones. Unfortunately, BT is hit and miss. Unpair device and boot into recovery and wiping cache. Sometimes that helps.
I have a pair of Samsung level u pro Bluetooth headset paired to my S7E that i bought on friday which when i paired them to the phone they worked fine all day Friday. Now all of a sudden if a contact calls with a custom ringtone the phone plays the ringtone obviously but the headset does not it plays some generic tone at the same time. Any ideas?
