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.
Jack
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.
Sent from my GT540 using xda premium

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

Hi,
Since upgrading to version 4.3 i'm unable to stream audio via bluetooth to my car headset using youtube and other music apps, the only one thats able to stream music to my car stereo is "google music", phone speaker through the car stereo works, and handsfree buttons as well.
The problem occurred only after upgrading from 4.2.2, it's not working on my wife N4 as well, so it's not just my phone having this problem.
using stock 4.3 and also tried CM 10.2 but that didn't help as well,
hope some one can give me a hint on how to fix this.... thanks!

cm7 doesnt support bluetooth audio currently - if you need this then return to a stock based rom
okay thanks
Does the Nexus Player support Bluetooth audio? I'm designing an HTPC for my folks and I'd like to go as cordless as possible. The speakers are across the room and are Bluetooth-capable.
Has anyone tried BT audio with the Player?

I tried Some headphones jabra revo and could not get them to show up when discovering
I tried with the Vamp and could not get that to show up when discovering either. I was hoping to do something similar, really hope this can be added with a firmware update or custom rom.
Couldn't get my bt skullcandys to connect either
Same here, cant find my logitech bluetooth audio receiver. This is huge disapointment but i hope google hears us and can fix this with an update.
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!

There is an app I use on my phone which may fix this problem. It's called Sound About Pro. It allows you to route your audio to different places... Like blue tooth or Handset Speakers or Headphones.

I just installed SoundAbout on my nexus player.. I tried routing the media audio to my connected A2DP Bluetooth headset, but unfortunately I'm not getting any sound
Besides, the application is throwing some exception every time it's started.. maybe this is the reason..
I literally just hooked my player up for the first time and the very first thing I tried to do was connect my jaybird x headphones to it and they won't connect. I just assumed since the box had bluetooth and was an android device that it would support bluetooth audio. My quick search just now has revealed there is no bluetooth audio function enabled :crying: I got this explicitly for this function, so this is useless until someone finds a work around or google enables it. Anyone want to buy a brand new N player from me?
I'd try this trick from the FireTV forum but don't have the time right now.

Sideloaded and tried it. It opens and appears to show normal settings, but crashes when I click anything. I'll keep trying things but so far I haven't been able to get this or ES File Explorer method to work :/

ES File Explorer can only pair your A2DP bluetooth headphones with the nexus player.. Make sure you set your headphones in pairing mode before you do a scan for bluetooth devices.. Once found, just click on it and that's it, pairing will be made immediately.

Okay so, I found out that the current SoundAbout released on the Google Play Store is still not compatible with Android 5.0. However, they added the support for that in the latest beta version. I'm unable to post the link, so just search for "SoundAbout beta" and you will get it from their official user board.
I tried sideloading the beta app on the nexus player.. Good thing: no more exceptions showing up.. Bad thing, still unable to route audio to headphones even when forcing media audio to use A2DP bluetooth.. plus, playing videos like youtube simply fails!
I tried that SoundAbout app too - but no luck.
I can't believe they don't support Bluetooth headphones. The only reason I was still using the Roku 3 is because the remote has a audio jack. I thought I could use the Nexus Player with Bluetooth headphones :/
Android M has got native support for A2DP Bluetooth streaming. You can flash the developer preview right now or wait for the release version in October/November. I wish Lollipop had this feature for AndroidTV to start with.
Yeah, same here, bought this device to be used with bt soundbar and projector ... all wireless ... can't believe this isn't working. Any tweaks ?

Just updated my Nexus Player to Android M (Preview), and it works perfectly with my Jabra Move Wireless headset now ^^
So realistically I could just send the audio to my phone and use regular jack headphones

And how would you do that?
EDIT: Updating to the Preview of Android M now. I need to use Bluetooth audio...
EDIT2: Bluetooth audio works on the Preview but still too buggy. The apps I use crash. I guess I'll have to wait for the final stable release.
Nexus player control volume from external remote
What about to control the volume with external remote control that have the volume buttons?
