Hello all,
I see that a question similar to this has been posted a few months ago, but no replies on that thread. So, here we go again
Basically all I need is for my Android to act as a bluetooth (stereo)headset (receiving audio).
The setup is I have a TV which can stream sound to a bluetooth headset. I havent got a bluetooth-headset but maybe I can use my Android phone with a wired headset and the phone acting as a bluetooth headset seen by my TV.
The goal: My girlfriend is hearing impaired and it would be a huge aid for her to be able to use a headset when watching TV-programs that hasnt got captions.
Also, streaming sound from my MythTV-box (with bluetooth) would make it possible to watch videos with sound without disturbing other people in the livingroom.
Is this somehow possible ? and if yes, might there already be an app out there ?
I've searched for hours but it gets a bit messy because about 95% of search results points to solutions for pairing an Android with a real bluetooth-headset and most of the time Android being the "server"-part of the bluetooth-connection. I need it to be a "client" ("sink" ?).
Im sorry this isn't an answer to you question. If she wears hearing aids i would look into a device like this for her.
Icom from Phonak. This device interfaces with anything bluetooth and connects to hearing aids. This made a huge difference in my bosses quality of life. He is able to interface it with His TV,Radio and his cellphone.
This is much more useful that just an ordinary blue tooth earphones.
Also i believe the bluetooth stacks that are in cell phones where never created for audio input. So something like you where asking wouldn't be possible as far as i know.
Thanks for your response. You're right about a proper hearing aid, its possible to get some with bluetooth-support (Oticon I think).
Just to wrap it up, while googling I also found some hints about the bluetooth stack being "limited" in Android and also some talk about hardware-capabilities (which would probably explain the limits of the bluetooth api in Android).
Most of what I found were from 2009 and '08, so I was hoping that bluetooth-possibilities might have expanded in the newer "delicious pastry"-releases from Google. Maybe its possible to port it from some Linux-source and build a ROM (?) But Im in way over my head with such projects.
hi,
i'm looking for ear hook headphones with microphone compatible with android.
I've seen lots from Philips, Seinheisser, and Jabra. But most mention iphone compatibility.
Will these still work on the S4 or do I need something compatible with android?
Hi all,
I have a couple of questions to help me choose between Note5 and N6P - any help gratefully received.
Mono audio - This is a deal breaker for me. I'm deaf in one ear so like to listen to music in mono otherwise I miss the right sound channel. Samsung phones (like iPhones) have an accessibility option for mono audio. Does the N6P have this? Can't seem to find an app that does the same - seems to need to be a system option?
Audio out through USB - My Note 3 can output audio through a special USB cable which I use in my car - does the new USB support this?
Ant+ connectivity - I use this on my Note3 to download exercise data from my Garmin devices - Not sure if N6P has it?
Variable auto brightness?
Thanks
Hello all,
let me explain my situation. I am blind and I am using Android smartphone with Ticwatch watch running wear OS. Both devices are running a screenreading software which uses voice synthesis to describe what is going on etc. I bought a bluetooth headphones with multipoint support. My idea was to connect both phone and watch to the phone and therefore listen to screenreader in privacy of these headphones. Unfortunately it does not work like that, because when I connect my watch to the headphones, it disconnects from the phone and they stop receiving notifications etc. So I was wondering - is it possible to somehow route audio from the watch to the phone through Bluetooth? If yes, I could connect only phone to headphones and listen to audio from both devices. I think I would automate this with Tasker somehow. Any ideas if this is possible? Thank you.
I would like to know if I install a custom rom on my MI9T I could have dual bluethoot audio? like some samsung phones to be able to connect 2 bluetooth speakers at the same time.
if so which one do you recommend?
