Using BT headset as headphones -- possible? - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
I googled, I searched XDA for 5 minutes, but I couldn't find an answer.
I used to be able to use my bluetooth headset to listen to music/sound from my Axim X51v. I have a Plantronics 520 BT headset. Unfortunately, I don't see any other services other than "headset" in BT profile.
Is there any way to do this on the Xperia X1 (be able to listen to sounds/music from the Xperia).
Thanks

by default this just works with A2DP headsets.
however ... search for "BTASP". thats a Audio gateway which routes ALL sound to the bluetooth headset. this is the only one that worked for me on my xperia.

Wow, thanks. I'll give this a try. I can't believe I didn't find that in my searching!
EDIT: I just finished trying it out. It works. Sound quality is mediocre, but hell, it's better for nothing

took me some search attempts too. "bluetooth headset redirect sound" brought me to my goal ^^

Step-by-Step :All sounds to a Bluetooth Headset ?

Hi folks!
Is there some kind of step by step manual how to get to a working solution for the well known BlueAngel Problem with it's headset connections?
I found a thread talking about some registry tweaks, but that only enables the menu option to send the sounds to the headset, but finally doesn't produce any sounds...
What I want to have is the instructions, given by the Navigon Mobile Navigator 5 beeing transferred to a bluetooth device (a parrot free speach device or a logitech headset).
I am already running ROM 1.4 and tried all various BT versions, but nothing worked..
Thanks for your help,
Balu
err.. I am looking for using bluetooth headset to listen mp3 as well, any help and suggestions? :wink:
im trying to figure out how to do that aswell, (listen to media player using bluetooth on my SVP m2000)
me too is there any idea pls
same
You can listen mp3s if your headset supports advanced audio distribution profile and you have PDA2K_BroadcomCorp_BTUpdate.cab installed. But if your "advanced" headset does not support old profiles - you would not be able to use it to listen phone calls.
You CANNOT listen MP3s on normal headsets that support headset and hansdfree profiles. To use these headsets you have to sell PDA2K and buy PDA2.

Can you please provide the list of BT headsets (with make / model numbers) that supports this "advanced audio distribution profile"
ht820 does the job!
I have Motorola HT820 on Orange M2000.
The HT820 supports Hands-Free and High Quality Audio profiles and you can playback audio in stereo via the headphones.
I upgraded the BT stack to 3900 and radio to 1.13 and added the extra profiles (instructions are in the Wiki), and it appears to work as both .
When the phone rings, WMP pauses and the left headset button answers the phone. Once you finish the call and hang up, WMP starts playback again.
The only problem that I still have is with intermittent dropout of the High Quality Audio. Anyone got any clues on curing this?
Got mine for around £60 UK sterling.
Is this an hardware limitation? Is this a ROM limitation? BT stack problem?
GSM phone preempting BT handfree?
If not HW, can we expect an upcoming solution to this?
Or, the only "hard" workaround is to plug a BT adapter (like Jabra A210) to redirect mike/spkr, and to desactivate BA BT.
Christmas tree, like.

Registry
Hi again.
So, we didn't really find a solution yet?
I once read something about a little change to the registry, so that a second profile for the normal BT Headset appears.
I searched but I can't find it again.
does anyone know which post I mean?
If so, can you give me a link to that, because I believe that is the right way to solve the problem...
the key is if your source (pda or notebook) is running BT audio gateway. centrino notebooks supports audio gateway. I have a Jabra BT800 and listens to MP3s played from an HP DV1000 notebook but cannot have it working through my XDA II mini (the latter does not support BT audio gateway)

Configuring Jawbone for A2DP support??

Has anyone been able to configure their Jawbone (or other mono headset) to hear playback via A2DP or other means?
I've googled the entire interweb and cannot seem to get this to work.
The only option I have for the device in the bluetooth manager is "headset" the "set as stereo headset" is grayed out.
Thanks for any help!

The Jawbone doesn't support A2DP. There are programs that allow you to stream audio to it (See post above). However, they stream it at phone call quality, which means music sounds god awful. Plus, it eats the battery of the Jawbone (which thinks its it making a phone call).
If you actually want bearable audio, you want a real A2DP headset.
The Jabra BT8040 supports A2DP natively and is an excellent BT headset. I wish it had a standard power plug (fewer things to pack for business trips) but other than that, it rocks.
I also have a Jawbone and prefer the BT8040...the Jawbone has much outstanding noise cancellation but the BT8040 beats it in every other category IMHO.
Or use this small free utility to send all the Audio output to the blue tooth headset (even if it doesn't support A2DP).
http://www.freewareppc.com/communication/bluetoothaudio.shtml
Works flawlessly on my phone
if your bluetooth doesn't have a2dp and you want to force audio throught the regular bluetooth headset then look for the btaudio.cab
I find this to be the easier one to use. Run the can and there will be an icon under programs. Click it will force audio and click it again will undo. This is simple cause it doesnt hog system resources.
Any one here familiar with a "work-around" (such as posted above) for the android platform?
I own a nexus one and Jawbone prime - wish I could stream music/voip(!) over my jawbone (blue tooth ear piece)..
Thanks
Jawbone 2 - should have a2dp

I have a jawbone 2 which I love for the noise cancellation, but if I could get it to support A2DP the possibilities for voice control of my GS3 would be endless. I know this is an old thread, but it would be great if anyone has figured this out.
Please let me know if there has been a workaround.
Thanks

Music via Bluetooth Headset

Hi!
Im using Plantronics Explorer 220 bluetooth headset without A2DP audio... im looking for application which will provide listening to music via bluetooth without A2DP. Many apps which ive found are not working unfortunately what apps are you using ppl?
regards
My god man, how can you listen to music through only one ear! Does it cause you to walk around it circles?
Why not get a real stereo headset? (http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Ericsson-Bluetooth-Headset-HBH-DS970/dp/B000H3Z2K8)
Meantime I believe that Conduits' PocketPlayer will do this for you (http://www.conduits.com/products/player/):
Support for Bluetooth stereo headphones (A2DP), buttons (AVRCP), and mono headsets (Audio Gateway)!

Maybe
I have Motorola S9 BT and the music pauses ever 15/20 seconds. I used the S9s with a Touch before the Diamond with no problems and worked great but with the Diamond it sucks.

Listining radio with Bluetooth headset?

A lot of weeks I have a problem, where I can't find an answer for.
A few weeks ago I bought the Sennheiser MM200 Bluetooth stereo headset. This set has an great sound quality, so I'm very happy with this headset.
I hoped that it would be possible to uses this Sennheiser headset in combination with the radio on my HTC TD. But unfortunately I haven't find an answer yet, or it's possible or not to listening radio with a Bluetooth headset on the HTC TD.
So is there anyone knows there is a workaround to let work the radio with a Bluetooth headset?
Tanks.

And do you know or it's possible to use the wired headset only for the radio signal, and use my Bluetooth headset for the sound?

I have been trying to find out how to do just this.
I ride a motorbike, and have a bluetooth crash helmet with buit in speakers / mike which works a treat for answering and making calls and indeed listening to TomTom navigation instructions from my HTC Topaz.
However, I have yet found a solution to allow me to listen to the radio via bluetooth. As you have also discovered, the headset acts as an antena but then diconects the sound from the bluetooth headset when connected. I figure that there must be a way to program the phone to use the blutooth headset as the default "speaker" and the plug in headset as only the antena.
I will repost this thread in the Topaz forum too to see if anyone has a solution.
One partial solution that I have discovered is streaming radio via an internet connection. This works, although the connection stream is not always the best and of course there is a data "overhead charge" involved.
T
no it's not possible to have both a wired headset connected an a bluetooth
even if the wires headset is only acting as antenna

[Q] Galaxy S plays music via blutooth

Hi guys,
I've just bought a new common Jabra blutooth and it works well on call, but I really want to know if there is a way to play music via my blutooth. I found that iPhone is able to play music via blutooth by jailbreaking, but I just can't get any helps from google and etc...
If somebody here knows the way, please tell me. Thanks a lot.
which model of Jabra did you buy?
only the Stereo version of Jabra will support A2DP and AVRP from Bluetooth to play audio, and remote control
working perfectly fine with my Jabra BT8010 and car stereo CZ509

It's BT125 sth...not sure, but it's cheap though. Anyway, I believe it can be used to play music
ya that headset doesn't support a2dp so i don't think its going to work.
I've got the Jabra BT620s - had them for a few years now, works great on the SGS, it supports A2DP & AVRP, when a call come in the phone pauses the music and the headphones switch to headset mode (ie phone mode).
Now the HTC had issues, some ROM worked Stereo, some worked headset, but I never had one which did both
