First Post, Hi to all.
Hardware:
I have just purchased an SPV M3100 (HTC TyTn) and I think it's great I want to use it to play music from my MP3 collection which is shared over the LAN and output the music to my new bluetooth A2DP speakers (Accoustic Energy)
Software:
The PDA is running WM5. I have installed V-mobile Software Network Browser which adds a network folder to the system and allows me to map my Computers MP3 shared folder as a network drive on the phone (This works a treat).
I am using CorePlayer as my media player as this is the best one I've found, it plays all my music and also my divx/xvid movies.
Problem:
I can play music straight over the network using coreplayer fine from the phone (WIFI & BT both turned on), but when I connect the BT speakers I get stuttering. Occasionally it seems to work fine, but most of the time the music is really broken up.
I can play music straight off the phone and send to the BT speakers and it works great, but only if WIFI is turned off.
It seems that the phone is maybe struggling to run WIFI & A2DP simultaneously, which is a little bit annoying.
Plea For Help:
Is there ANYONE who has tried to do this on ANY PDA? If there is, was it successful or are you having similar stuttering probs?
PS. I have tried the A2DP bitpool reg hacks with no luck, and even tried the 802.11g wifi hack in case it was a wifi bandwidth problem.
If Anyone can offer any suggestions or advice I would be most greatful.
//not sure if I posted this in the correct thread, it might be better suited to accessories?
I switched from a Blackberry to an HTC TD2 and now am not able to walk around stores with music running through my Bluetooth. Is this a known problem with HTC or am I missing a setting. I looked everywhere and didn't see a setting that changes. Also I'd like to be able to watch Coreplayer with a Bluetooth but, just like music, I hit the button to activate Bluetooth, I hear the sound, and 3 seconds later it reverts back to speaker.
is there a fix that would help me?
FTR: I know Bluetooth Headset is not optimal for listening to TV or music but I would like to do it anyway.
I have multiple Bluetooth and none of them work for this purpose.

Working so far tyvm
Hello,
I have recently upgraded from the HTC One M7, however I am finding my qualms that are making this Note4 a pain in the arse.
When I get into my car, I have the Bluetooth automatically sync to my stereo. This syncs my phone, and contacts and also allows Bluetooth audio and Pandora capabilities. However, I like to use my phone for navigation and sometimes listen to the radio without using any bluetooth audio.
I have not found a way to keep the Phone synced up with the stereo, yet to play the audio from navigation(Waze) from the Phone. Every time it connects to the stereo, the phone output sends everything to bluetooth. And when I am listening to the radio, I don't hear anything at all. No directions, notifications, ect as its still sending them to bluetooth even though I am not listening to bluetooth.
I never had this issue on my HTC one, does anybody know of a solution?
Hi all --
So my 6p, Pure Nexus Rom, is Bluetooth connected to my 2014 Cadillac SRX. Everything is checked off in the settings for the connection -- phone audio, media audio, and contact sharing. I make and receive calls fine. I can play music over the Bluetooth connection. But I have a program called "Out Loud" that is supposed to read my texts and messages over the Bluetooth connection, and it doesn't seem to work. Waze directions won't read over the connection either. However, if I'm streaming music from the phone to the car, out loud and Waze DO work. It interrupts the music to read texts, etc. But if I'm listening to the radio or an SD card plugged into the car's SD card slot, nothing. So clearly the notifications are working if I'm streaming music, but otherwise, no go. Shouldn't the "Media Audio" connection cover all my phone's media audio, not just streaming music? Does anyone have any idea why it's not and what I might be doing wrong? Thanks so so much for any help in advance, I truly appreciate it.
Not sure if it's supposed to work any different from mine (2008 Ford Fusion), but the only time I hear anything is if Bluetooth is connected and my radio source is set to Bluetooth or if I receive a call and my phone is paired to the vehicle, then it'll override anything that I'm listening to allow me to answer the call through my car. I'm assuming this is still similar in nature to your vehicle. Maybe the app has an option whether you'd like to route sound through Bluetooth or your phone speaker instead (just like in the Waze app)? If it doesnt, maybe the dev could consider adding this feature.
Yeah, it's odd. I was on a diffeent ROM (had to switch because I was getting a lot of hot boots), and the texts were read aloud through the Bluetooth no matter if I was listening to the radio, or streaming music from the phone. So I'm confused why it's not doing the same on Pure Nexus.
It's all about the different bluetooth profiles. The music streaming portion of bluetooth has no real priority, it's up to the radio to decide if you're going to hear the stream. Now phone calls, on the other hand, is a different portion of the connection. The radio allows the phone to interrupt whatever you're listening to. For me also, if you hit the google voice search on your phone, it'll interrupt the radio to use the car's built in mic and speakers to interact. With that in mind, we know it doesn't just have to be phone calls per se., the voice search interrupts the radio (or whatever other source) just fine. The question becomes that of figuring out what apps you can utilize to cause the bluetooth connection to recognize an interruption. Personally, I'd love to see it for Maps given the scenario of my listening to the radio and not hearing the turn-by-turn prompts since I'm not streaming from the bluetooth source and the phone obviously won't play it out loud. I've done some research (of course as a non-developer) and have found that it's such a low-level operation that most developers don't bother with trying to make work. The only reason you happen to hear notifications while streaming is because you've actively preselected the option on your radio to hear whatever the phone wants to push out in its entirety.
Yeah, I just can't figure out why, with one rom, all my apps seemed to have the capacity to have the Bluetooth recognize an interruption no matter what I was listening to, while on Pure Nexus, as you said, I have to have selected streaming phone music in order for those notifications to play through the Bluetooth. I wish I could figure out how to give Out Loud that same priority. In theory, it lets you pick the audio stream you want to try ("Music, Voice Call, Alarm, or Notification"), but none of them work for me. Very frustrating.
From my research it appears:
1) it's a recognized quirk that has something to do with incompatibility with one of the protocols that Android uses.
2) when using BT & 'Radio' setting (i.e. listen to radio in car): the nav voice commands will either be mute or fade-in.
3) when using BT & the 'Streaming Media' setting (i.e. play streaming music from your mobile): the nav voice commands will work as expected
4) This or this may or may not help.
5) IOS has this issue also[/QUOTE]
Hi all,
I'm running the latest OOS4.5.8 (rooted, Magisk (no modules installed)), and noticed for a whilst (including when on previous versions) that the phone will 'hog' bluetooth audio devices connected.
I've got a pair of bluetooth headphones that will pair and connect to 2 audio devices - but only play audio from one at a time (the first to start transmitting). Before I got my OP5 I could connect 2 phones easily and start playing from Spotify on either without any issues.
With the OP5 connected, I've noticed often no audio comes out when I play spotify on the other phone - until I turn off Bluetooth on the OP5 at which point the headphones announces the phone is disconnected and audio that was playing from the other phone comes out.
I think this has been happening for a while, but I've only just identified the actual cause (before this I thought it was a headphone / spotify problem).
Has anyone experienced this / have any suggestions?
There's a Bluetooth audio codec in the advanced menu in settings, would that make any change ?
If not then potentially unpair all the devices and then resync up, there are very few options in regards to Bluetooth, it's pretty much on or off.
Also (could be unrelated) I've read that you can only have one Bluetooth controller at a time connected for gaming, so maybe this is related ? Could a Kernel change possibly help?
