I've been scouring google trying to look for something that works like this:
1) ALL audio from your computer is streamed to your PPC.
AND
2) You can use your PPC as a wireless mic for your computer.
In essence it'll work as a wireless voice communicator with your laptop. Is there anyway to do this? I've tried using bluetooth, but the computer software I have wouldn't allow me to use my phone as a 'headset' only to transfer files and create a DUN. So if anyone know of any computer software or PPC software that would help me achieve this, it would be greatly appreciated. It could be through BT, WiFi or Data. I just need something that works.
My purpose for this is that I like to play games, listen to music, and even voice chat (ventrilo) and I would like to be able to still hear what's going on on my computer while I'm grabbing a glass of water or taking a bio-break.

Found a method that works, but it in very poor quality. First thing is to install Skype .18 beta onto your phone (only version that works on the Titan) and to install Skype on your computer also. You will need to create 2 accounts for both the phone Skype & PC Skype. Now configure your computer Skype to reroute all audio to go through the microphone input. Call either devices from the other device and initiate voice chat. You should be able to hear your computer from your phone, but in very low/poor quality. When you speak into the phone you can hear yourself on your computer. A headset is suggested.
This is what I found to work so far, still trying to search for a better way of doing this. I've been able to stream quality music from the computer and voice to the computer, but never both at the same time yet.
Here's link to Skype .18 beta:

I'd like to know if it's possible as well...for some reason my speakers arent being recognized by windows (i freaking hate MS!!) so it'd be nice to use BT to use my phone as speakers (that and so i could wander around the house)
if it support audio gateway it could work of cause
to enable it one would have to quit the game
and change pref'd device in audio settings in pc
control panel and restart the game
audio gateway would mean to go through BT. I'm sure the titan is able but its the bt software on the computer end that's crappy (got my bt adapter for $4). I'm looking for alternatives if possible.
i paid a few pretty pennies for my BT device (it wasn't overly expensive, it was a good deal at the time), and it came with a disc that had blue soleil on it. Well, it kept telling me i needed to register or somthing, but wouldnt let me. So i got rid of it. I bet B.Soleil would work though, maybe i'll dig it back up.
found all of my original documentation and disks with B.S. on it. They gave me a trial version. I paid for a usb dongle with blue tooth and B.S. gave me an eval copy. Okay, no wonder people hack/crack stuff. Idiots like that. I hope they die in a fire.
lol yea i think mine is blue soleil too, not sure if its a full copy or eval copy. all i know is its crap and won't let me do what i want.
yeah, i smashed my blue soliel disk out of anger. i tried it first, and it wouldnt let me stream music to my headset or my phone, so whatever. I dont even need that program to transfer files, i have BT drivers on my computer already.
well if you do manage to find a working BT software be sure to share ;D

I'd made a thread about how I'd wanted to dev, or asking if anyone knew of a prog to do this. What s/w d'ya know of/recommend?

he's LOOKING for an app that does it.
I'm trying to look into a A2DP server solution, though I doubt it's possible for the PPC to 'serve' audio to the computer.
Hi there,
I installed the VoIP hack for WM6.1 to get the VoIP feature, so that worked, can use Voxalot over HSDPA/WiFi etc now. But.... Guess what... GPS is not working anymore.
So I found a few files that should enable GPS and VoIP, but still GPS is not working. TomTom say 'no GPS device found'...
Anyone here got VoIP and GPS working on his/her Xperia? Would you please tell me what files I should use?
Argh, that's happened to mine too. Just when I thought I was done with hard resets!
Yeah... hehe... But still, anyone got a solution for this?
i have the same problem! ARGH! im gonna brake my xperia in half, im tierd of hard reseting all the time. have anyone solved the problem yet?
This seems worthy of a *bump* since it's an X1 only problem that doesn't seem to have gotten any attention anywhere at all yet; and also VOIP would be cool.
In addition to the bump, I've followed the instructions from this topic and I got VoIP to work WITH GPS. Howeverrrrr.. As I've posted overthere, unlike the 'normal' suggested cabs, the sound now comes from the external speaker, which of course sucks. I want it to come from the internal speaker.
When you use a Bluetooth headset there is no problem at all, but who wants to walk around with one of those all day long? Was wondering if anyone had a fix for that...!
ive already posted this at ppcgeeks, and figured that it doesnt hurt to post here too. hopefully i can get a quick response
it might have been discussed already, but i really need to know now. i dont really have time to search through 1000 threads that have the word recorded in it. is there a prog that will allow me to record the conversation into an mp3 or something, or is there a compatible voice recorder that i can plug in the mini usb? OR.... does anyone know of a sprint phone that i could do this with? its that important that i would be willing to pay the loot to switch phones to do this.
thanks you sooooo much for any help or useful advice

Haven't tried any of them but they may get you headed in the right direction... I'd start with the Resco option... last link.
this is tricky business. i researched for a while into recording calls and tried Resco Audio Recorder and LivePVR. the problem here is that these programs don't consider the earpiece to be a source for audio. they both require that the speakerphone be on, however if it isnt on before the call is made then the software does not recognize any source, and being fast enough to turn the speakerphone on IMMEDIATELY is damn near impossible. the closest i got was with LivePVR, but i wasnt able to record everything i wanted to. as far as i can tell there isnt any way to get the speakerphone on before a call, so you might be SOL here unless there is something im missing
ok...i bought a mini usb BT adapter at Walmart that has exactly what you want as a service.....its blue and looks like a little mushroom...i could get more details for ya if needed.......but you can run a voice service through your pc and then record in any program....you talk through your laptop/pc microphone.....
I know that at the moment this isn't possible, but does anyone know if there is work being done on the Android bluetooth stack to enable a tablet to be used as a bluetooth hands-free device? A bit of searching shows that it is a regularly requested feature but I can't seem to find any info on any developers who are definitively working on this (except for one little questionable nugget that stated that the CM developers were playing with Bluetooth. Hardly enough to go on.).
I want to incorporate a Nexus 7 into my 370Z as a carpc but the lack of being able to integrate phone features is holding me back. Using data apps like grooveip are a no go for me as data connections around here aren't reliable enough for consistent daily use. Thanks in advance for any info.
I'm not to sure of what your asking, but if you wanna make calls from your tablet using BT this app allows you to do that as well as send SMS and MMS from it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apdroid.tabtalk hope that helps and is what you mean

I appreciate the suggestion but I don't think this will work. What I would like to do is mount my tablet in my car and use it as a front end for my phone to make/take calls the way an OEM bluetooth car system would normally work. My understanding is that your tablet must be paired as a hands free device, which android tablets currently don't do. I looked at Tablet Talk but when using that app from what I can gather when you accept a call on the tablet it actually activates the call on your handset. Ultimately I want to use the tablet as a hands free solution as I drive stick and holding my phone to my ear while driving is a no-no.
In the past I've used bt headsets but I lose them constantly and frankly I'm tired of replacing them. Oh well.
Well, good luck in your search! And you hit tablet talk spot on BTW lol. Oh and if you do find a solution, plz post it! This sounds like something I would love to use.

Thanks. I'll thinking I'll probably go the route of a more traditional carpc for now, but if and when this becomes a feature you can take advantage of with android tablets I'll have to reevaluate the situation.

This would be a great extension or compliment to the various apps that let you send/receive SMSs from your tablet via your phone. If I could at least receive/answer calls too, I could leave the phone elsewhere at home.
Just to let you know I've contacted parrot and garmin with regards to something like this.
I want a solution where I can make my nexus 7 a full media center with DAB radio and a good sat nav without needing a cellular link and hands free for my phone which includes the voice commands available through the tablet.
So hopefully they will get back to me and I'll post up here what they say.
Something I haven't solved yet either is getting all the antennae feeds into the nexus, I was thinking of getting a sharks fin antennae and wiring them into a raspberry pi to then blue toothing them into the nexus, I could also then attach a HDD to the pi to use it as a server to.
I want to do it this way so I can take the 7 otu and with me if I wish, rather than having it hard wired in. also if would allow for device upgrade.
Theres a nice thread on install and with references to the tasker app to get the tablet to work with the ignition and other functionality like that;

BT app
There is an app under development for this I think. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.funkyandroid.phonelink
I'm thinking of dropping a Nexus 7 in my car but the lack of hands free bluetooth is kind of a deal breaker.
Did anybody ever get this working? I have my Nexus installed in the car, and would love to be able to use it as a speakerphone. I don't need to actually be able to make the calls via the tablet, just need to be able to use it as a basic bluetooth speakerphone / headset type of thing.
It sounds like it should be something fairly simple, but I cannot seem to find much.
I have been wanting this for a long time, I'd love to be able to take my older Android phone and re-purpose it as a car GPS/Internet Radio/Handfree, etc.
I know the Samsung Galaxy player has this functionality, I wonder if any of their devs could help out.
if this work in linux so i think can work on android
Hi to all,
i been looking for this "bluetooth role" for long time. I have read a lot of forum and the entire XDA posts about this..
it seems that this is the definitive question like "what is the answer to life the universe and everything" simple 42
and it seems that is the paradise for all want to make a carputer/droid/tablet/**** car radio replacement... so... i'm one of you
this post is for some devs (i'm a dev too) i'm asking for help ....
the problem is: which android version do you want to use?
why this question? simple: from the android 4.2 google has decided to trash the bluetooth bluez stack and reimplement the wheel with bluedroid...
i read the documentation about bluedroid at this site:
https://source.android.com/devices/bluetooth.html
and there was written that there are some profiles actualy implemented but not the Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile server.
Ok it's not a problem, taking a look to the template of other profile i can implement it.
now the question is HOW DOES IT WORKS?
so i searched and bum this is how:
version 1.5
version 1.6
ok and now? and now i tried to find some similar implementations and...
after another night of search i found this....
HFP For Linux
where there is the downloadable source code.
now I think we have all the necessary to make this possible...
BUT there are some problem that i haven't resolved yet for a lack of knowledge of course.
it seems that the hfp override any other profiles on that example, it's not bad, in a system that i want to use i need only a HFP profile and AD2P togheter all the rest is useless
i think that this at the end is a fork of the standard android project and how I/we can put it into a rom or a patch and who want to add to a rom/kernel? how it can be done? is a patch better ? a new kernel like franco's or better to submit to google?
I hope to have intrigued someone with this post and I hope that somebody can link me to some documentation to understand how to put all the information I have together.
ps. i have tried to reply into this thread:
[Q] Android phone as bluetooth headset?
but of course i have to few posts to make my suggestion there
I may be out of line here but try reading about the gmate+ device.
I got one paired with my Nexus 7 32gb right now and currently using it as a phone. I believe there are other similar gadgets out there, as I've done some researches before I actually got mine to work. I have yet to try it with a bluetooth headset paired because I lost mine just on the day when I was about to try it out.
Anyway, one problem here is, the app for the device is currently not updated so there are a lot of things that need tweaking and one major issue for me is the ringtone. As I have posted here before, sine N7 does not have native ringtone, there's no alert tone for incoming calls. As for text messages, the notification alert tone works. I know there's also GPRS for it but haven't tried it out yet.
Try these options...
As far as an option for a Nexus 7 you may want to try a sip dialer like 3cx or linphone or zoiper and establish a free sip account at iptel.org or something. As long as you have wifi or a 3g connection which some tablet have you should be able to make and receive calls, or try ""Blue Fi" from the play store. it may work.

I just got a new Nexus 7 for the same purpose of replacing my vehicles head unit with a tablet.
I am digging into the BT stack since I believe that I should be able to implement (or port) the profile on top of Android 4.3 assuming that the SCO data is available through the raw BT connection. There is an open source HFP implementation on sourceforge for Linux that migh be close enough to do the trick and save a bunch of coding time. It's going to take a while for me to get the time to dive too deeply into this one, but if I succeed or come to the conclusion it can't be done, I will let folks know.
Hello guys.
I am going to buy Nexus 7 for my car for the same purposes, - navigating, internet.
But mainly is for the Hands Free function.
Unfortunately, people saying nexus can't use it. But it's lol...I don't believe nexus7 doesn't support hands free.
Gentelman, tell me any way to make nexus 7 works hands free.
Thank you in advance.
P.S. if you ask wham am I mean when saying "hands free", so there is an example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEFjDKtlao8
Use some Motorola MotoActiv Bt code?
I have a Motorola MotoActiv running watch... Features gps tracking for running and biking, MP3 player and Bluetooth... The Bluetooth is mainly used for wireless headphones, but if you have a Motorola Phone, the watch can display text msgs from the phone and you can use the headphones/mic through the watch to take calls. (the idea being that you can leave the phone in a pocket or backpack while you're bike riding, I guess, and still take calls.)
The device runs Android (I'm sure someone's rooted it on here). Maybe that code can be dissected and repurposed for what were all looking for??

Just an update on something I said in my previous post... I was looking at my MotoActiv watch today and it says you have to have an "Android phone" not a Motorola phone as I said in my previous post. So I'm wondering if the phone audio over Bt can be reverse engineered from the Motoactive watch for other android devices.
I actually decided to root my watch today just for the fun of it... it would really make the perfect "Car Head Unit" as it has Android OS, MP3 capabilities, FM Tuner, Bluetooth and Phone audio over Bluetooth built in... if only the screen was larger than 1.5".
Looks like the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 2013 are getting some love in this area with a new custom stack:
http://www.bluez.org/bluez-for-android-status-update/
Looks like you need some compiling skills, but I think this is what you are looking for.
It must be work... Or not?
Hello guys!
I'm thinking on a same project for a while. It doesn't matter if not work for me, but would be great if yes.
I found something 2 days ago:
Parrot Asteroid Smart
This is an android base head unit/navigation, and the bluetooth handsfree is working on it. How it's possible? Any chance to port it into the Nexus 7?
solution
So i had an idea today and decided to call my carrier (Cricket). They told me it is possible to purchase an extra sim card and they will program the imei# to match my phone. This will enable me to make and receive calls on my tablet as well as my phone using the same number. Also i will have full access to my data.....problem solved with only 15 dollars. I hope this helps somebody.
Hi everyone,
I just got a brand new Google Nexus 4 device, and I found out that when I talk on the phone, other side can't hear me.
If I switch to speaker, other side hear me loud and clear.
If I talk with headset, the other side hear me loud and clear.
If I talk using VoIP applications such as Skype and Viber, other side can hear me just fine without any need to switch to speaker.
I tried to reset to manufactur settings - didn't help.
I tried to talk using the headset and then switch it off - didn't help.
I tried to change settings of volume using SoundAbout application - didn't help.
I tried to switch to another network sim - didn't help (I also put my sim in another Nexus 4 I have, and it worked fine on the other deviec).
The microphone is working well, as I can talk using the speaker and also I can talk regular using VoIP applications - meaning it doesn't look like a hardware issue.
I didn't rooted my device.
It is brand new.
Android 4.2.2.
I'm from Israel and working on Hot Mobile network.
Any help will be much appreciated as I don't know what else I can do in order to fix this issue.
I need to be able to talk using my phone
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Please help!!! Does any one know how to assist me?

I have the same problem....
I would recommend flashing the factory images in fastboot. There are guides out there that will help you through the process. My thought is that you somehow might not have the appropriate baseband for 4.2.2. Could you go to Settings>About phone and tell us what baseband you have?
