I'm looking to get a bluetooth headset for my shining new XDAII, but first I want to know if it supports playing music from Media Player, via hte headphones. Can anyone help?
Hi,
from the training I attended.The product manager of XDA II did mentioned that we can hear MP3 from the bluetooth headset. :wink:
Practical experience: no you can't. But future plans for supporting audio playback do exist. Currently, phone calls can be conducted over bluetooth

Hello
Just got a Jabra SP700 bluetooth car speaker that has FM playback from work and would like to know if anyone knows a way to stream music from the last.fm app. I don't know how this setup wouldn't be cool as hell. I have searched without results, but doesn't mean I didn't miss something. If there is a discussion about this then please direct me to it.
Currently the G1 only has the headset and handsfree profiles for bluetooth. A2DP and others are comming. So, unless your jabra uses one of those two profiles you will just have to wait till its added.
Thanks. A2DP is the term I needed.
I have used several bt headsets (mono, not stereo) and all of them have the following issue (currently I use nokia BH104 and samsung HM1500):
A. No sound is forwarded from the hd2 music player, windows media player, tcpmp player to any of the headsets.!! Please help!
I have original rom on the hd2
Notice that all the BT headsets receive and send calls and are coupled with the mobile with no problems. I have checked the option to forward all system sounds to the headset but nothing changes for that.
(not to mention that n81 and omniaII and omniaI do forward sound played by any of the music to the same headset SO I guess its not BT headsets problem)
Any solution or suggestion would be much appreciated.
thanks!
====sorry for any cross posting =======
is it possible on the vibrant to stream music to my jawbone bt earpiece ? i used to do it on my touch pro 2. but with android im not sure ? help me out guys please
Yes, it's possible (though it may depend on what model Jawbone you have). Make sure your Jawbone is updated with H2DP and your phone should be able to recognize that the headset can be headphones as well. Check out the Jawbone website for more info.
If his jawbone is like my old one ( now use a Plantronics Pro), it didn't support Stereo (H2DP)
One of things I plan on looking into the Android source for is why someone hasn't come out with a "Mixer" app to route Media out the BT Headset profile. I'm sure there's a technical reason.
I've never seen a phone send music out to a BT headset... I don't understand why that is, it does if you use a wired headphone.
Things like podcasts should be fine in a mono headset. Even music would be better than nothing.

A2DP?
The new jawbone hero has an update that supports A2DP. Music sounds terrible through it tho, I even streamed NPR's car talk through it and it was scratchy. For some reason too, the phone prefers streaming over BT rather than through the audio jack when it's plugged in. Turned off the audio profile for the headset.
Hi, I just bought a couple of headphones for my flashed HTC HD2.
The problem is that it does not play music. After googling it is probably due to the fact that the headset does not support A2DP. (which is stereo playback)
Now my question is if there is any fix to play music anyway, without the A2DP feature in the headset)
I mean, I can hear calls etc. in the headphones.
Thanks!
Hi!
Unfortunatly A2DP is the only way to stream music from your phone to a bluetooth headset. I Google'd a bit and maybe it's good to check the Automatic Bluetooth Toggle Pro app, because it is possible of connecting to a2dp. I think (not sure) A2DP is standard available on the HD2 because it's an older technology.
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.
:good:
