Hi guys,
is it possible to connect and use 2 bluetooth 5 devices at the same time?
As example i want to connect two bt speakers and play the same song simultanous on booth devices.
Or would it possible with a magisk module?
thanks for the help =)

It's not something the phone can do, but it is a feature of certain speakers called Party Mode.
UE Boom has these features. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=987xr-9meLs
Yeah the UE Boom speakers are awesome and let you connect 2 or more. Others these days may do the same also but it will be through their app and not the phone itself like with the UE Boom speakers.
Why is this not a thing, especially since manufacturers keep removing headphone jacks that were easy to split. I've been looking for a wireless Bluetooth repeater that does this? Has anyone found such a device? I've found some that use headphone jacks as the input, but haven't found one that takes Bluetooth in, and then sends Bluetooth back out to multiple devices.

Hi! This issue has plagued me ever since i am using windows mobile. I own a TOUCH HD (though i think this issue is also with other windows mobiles) and a A2DP Stereo bluetooth headset from Sony.
http://images.google.nl/imgres?imgu...ox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&sa=N&um=1
Now here's the problem. When I pair the phone with the Headset, it pairs the 2 services HANDSFREE & WIRELESS STEREO. Then i can listen to music via the headset.
When i turn the headset off and then back on again, it switches on the HANDSFREE ONLY !! And i have to go thru the following process to turn on the WIRELESS STEREO again:
1. on phone, click on Bluetooth Devices
2. select the headset device to view the 2 services (handsfree and wirless stereo). Both are selected. Deselect the Wireless Stereo service.
3. SAVE
4. on phone, click on Bluetooth Devices
5. select the headset device to view the 2 services (handsfree and wirless stereo). Re-select the Wireless Stereo service.
6. SAVE
Then it works again and i can listen to my music again.
Its a very annoying process and I wish someone could help me to explain if there is a faster way? Does everyone also have to go thru this process or am i doing something wrong?
Does there exist a program that can automate this process or any other solution?
looking forward to replies!
there are more than one small app to make it easy.i found one that works on my HD. uploaded for you here:

next time try and do a search....
thanks a lot! It actually works! cant imagine why microsoft creates an OS without this built in as standard !
thanks.

I have a same problem with my car audio, but when i install this BT program in lower post they connect me only to handsfreee, and when i go to play music they disconnected my car BT audio.
Just for you interest - this does NOT make A2DP work.
Mirror site please!!!

Can someone please mirror this download, my limit is up on.
Here is the source.
I got it downloaded, and here is the developers web site

(sorry all, could not find an edit for my last post)
Pair your stereo headset and select the Heaset and Wireless Stereo profiles, this will work from start.
Next time you turn on your stereo headset it will only connect as standard headset (ie mono for phone calls)....
Just press the play/pause button on your headset and it will auto connect to A2DP stereo also.
Simple EH?
Tried that!
I have tried that, and do it on my laptop (another set and stereo profile only), it may be dependent on the headset you are using.
The Triangle Powers BT Stereo is mono output only, and made the audio quality poor on my HD. http://trianglepowers.com/PPC/ViewApp.aspx?ID=52
I installed teksoft A2DP Toggle 1.1 this morning http://teksoftco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1885 and added it to the program button in TouchFlo, not the today screen. it seems to work fine if you press the button twice, better than 7 clicks. (My HD info in the signature, Telstra TouchFlo replaced by Standard HD)

If pushing the Play/Pause does not connect a previously paired BT Stereo Headset to your HD then it is not a true A2DP profile headset.
See if you can get your hands on a pair of folding Sony DR-BT22 headphones.
True A2DP with built in mike to answer incoming calls. Bass is very good and full funtion with the HD.
Highly recommended.

Hmm! I pair the HD with a great bluetooth headphones from Sony I got in Tokyo recently (not the same as yours). I dont have any problem with the A2DP connection at all. I have perfect high audio definition thru to the headset.
Sorry not much help-but it may be the headset not the HD thats your problem!

Agree
You guys are correct, the smaller headsets that try to share the Play/Answer/end button are probably the issue.
I have been using A2Dp Toggle 1.1 as mentioned and link above and it works great, no loss of sound noticed.
We should start an XDA (not just HTC) WiKi to list headsets that connect or not for WM5 and WM6.
HD Compatible Headphone
I have a Sony DR-BT50 headphone that works beautifully. The sound is brilliant for Music and particuarly movies that I have transferred from DVD to the HD with MP4HT4HD!
I never thought that i would watch a movie on a screen so small but the clarity is something else and the high audio signal with the bluetooth headphones make it a pleasure! Great for long layovers at airports etc.
Any in-ear types that work?
All the sets that I have seen posted as working are the full headphone (over ear) types, and this may again be a shared button thing.
Does anyone have / know of an in-ear / earbud type that works / connects correctly
A2DP Toggle 1.1
I dowmloade that A2DP Toggle 1.1 on my phone. I use HTC TYTN1 running Windows Mobile 6 Professional and this software gives hell to say the least.
When I connect it to my headset, it works fine BUT it does not pay MP3s on my headset. It keeps on saying ERR on the icon of the head speakers (the second icon form bluetooth icon). I even asked most of the technician but no one knows anythings. If anyone knows what my probles is, please rescue me!!!
I might be doing something, please help me guys
Toggle works for me!
I had the same problem, the triangle powers prog didn't work for me. In fact the headset icon was on but no playback.
The toggle 1.1 works, none of the funcitons described on it's website are available, setup and various icons are from the home page but HTC Touch HD home page doesn't support that.
Never the less, putting Toggle in my program list and using it toggles easy between phone speaker and headset. Like someone has already said, two clicks and we're in business from starting my van to getting music from my phone on the stereo. I'm happy enough with that.
I have a Pioneer stereo with Parat built in, so I get BT audio and Hands free calls. All seems to be working perfectly now. Thanks to this thread.
Is there a way to modify the bluetooth code so that the "ear peice" via "bluetooth" will also give you "music" etc....
I mean if the phone detects the ear peice and plays all the calls thru the ear peice..... why cant it be hacked to also play internet music....
Thanks in advance....
pm me a fix... flame in public...
Actually, I too would like to know if this is possible. Why can't it just be detected as wireless "headphones/headset".
Although I'm using an iPhone 4 so I'm sure that it'd be more difficult to do this if it is possible.
Should work

It depends on the activity the app code is running on the host device. All audio is able to be routed to the headphones. What kind of phone are you using?
It's not as simple as wired headphones. BT has something called profiles - each profile is for doing some particular thing - like transferring files, playing music, making calls, etc. For a particular feature to be supported, both the phone and the headset has to support that particular profile. Most android versions have support for most common profiles.
Calls are possible through profiles called HSP/HFP and stereo music is possible through profile called A2DP. Most of the mono headsets which are mainly for calling support only HSP/HFP and not A2DP - that's main reason you can't play music on most mono headsets. If you buy stereo BT headsets, they come with both HSP/HFP and A2DP - meaning they can support both calls and audio.
There are apps / hacks to stream music from an android phone to a mono headset through HSP/HFP. I've never tried any - you can look for those if you want to play music on your mono BT HSP headset.

Are you able to connect the device to a computer or tablet? I think it would depend on the drivers on the device you're connecting to. What are you trying to connect to? Does it detect your earpiece?
its a jabra bluetooth ear peice.
and theres several "mono" bluetooth apps on the market/play store.
I happened to try blue tooth mono router and it works fairly well.
seems to use aprox 3 to 5% of battery in aprox 15 to 20 mins.

I'm working on a DIY project that requires the audio bluetooth have higher power (wattage) to drive the speakers. Regular bluetooth "headset" (voice & audio) adapters just don't have much power in them.
A work-around could be to have two different Bluetooth adapters working at the same time. One would be for microphone only (voice). The second would be an amplifier for the audio.
Now unfortunately, I can't just hook up an amplifier in-line with a normal Bluetooth headset adapter because that would nullify the full-duplex capability.
So my question to you guys is, is Android capable of connecting to two different Bluetooth adapters at the same time? One for microphone and one for speakers, and have them work together without hiccups?
I know it can do two separate for phone and media. But the device will kick the media Bluetooth aside for the higher priority of the phone. Can you some how use an otg cable to Bluetooth adapter as another option?

From what you're saying, it sounds like when a phone call comes in, the mic will work. But the phone will no longer send the audio (phone audio in this case) to the speakers using the media bluetooth connection.
Bummer. And I am afraid you might be right.
No, cords are not allowed at all.
This is for a helmet setup.
Thanks for the heads up.
It does

Yes, this does work. I use my Anker BT to talk and my Mercedes BT for Audio at the same time. This works really well (ROM is stock 4.3)
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
