Sound through BT?

Just want to confirm if this is "normal": When in music player, I want to listen on my BT headset....however it doesn't "see" my jawbone...it does, however, "see" my Moto S9 headset, and works fine-no problem, since who would listen to music on a BT supposed to be used for phone use. But, when in navigation for example, with my jawbone connected, the sound of the turn by turn only comes out of the phone speaker. I would expect that it would be heard in my BT? Or does A2DP only work with headsets designed to listen to music or something? A little confusing...

Anybody weigh in on this?

Which Jawbone do you have? Only the new ICON supports A2DP. My older Jawbone II did not and would not work when playing media. With my new ICON all of the sounds come out the headset.

I have the Icon

You may need up update the firmware in your ICON to support A2DP. The earlier ones did not have that support included. It is pretty easy to do, just go the their support sight. One word of caution, their update web page will not work with Firefox and noscript enabled. You will need to use IE or temporally disable noscript.

Listen music from nokia bluetooth hedset

Can i Listen music usin nokia bH-104? I can talk trough them but if i want to listem music, phone playing on the speaker. I have android 2.1 with sense.

It's a mono headphone, so it won't be able to play music. You need stereo headphones for that.

I dont understand why if the phone plays through only one speaker (mono) then why isnt it possible to play the music through only one BT ear piece. There must be some way. When I played music a lot through my phone and had my BT hooked up... sometimes the music would keep playing through my BT while i was answering a call. Although this was a glitch, it shouldn't be too hard for a software engineer to figure out how to let it play through the BT any time.

The Bh-104 doesn't have the Bluetooth profile to support music (A2DP).

The Nokia BH-104 is mainly used for voice calls. It will not support listening to music. You need to look for a headset that support (A2DP), perhaps the BH-103 or BH-214

It supports music play, but the quality is very very poor ... I have a nokia bh-207 and it works ...

Just FYI, I bought the Samsung WEP870 awhile ago on a deal, and it works great for music. Especially since it comes with bluetooth in-ear headphones!

I have a Nokia Stereo Bluetooth Headset, and it´s going

nokia bh-503 works pefect

Yes there is a way!

Yeah there is a way. I have done this via an app. Its a free app. The name is "Bluetooth mono router"
Download Install thats it!
Done.
But the quality is not that good.

[Q] bluetooth car audio issues

I recently went with an HTC One and while I'm loving the device I've gotten quite spoiled with the car integration of the iphone. My phone is connected via bluetooth to my car audio system. Makes and receives calls fine. Plays out of the "Music" app fine.
But getting beyond that is incredibly annoying. The Music app just wants to play whenever i go to the bluetooth input and getting it to play something else is sometimes impossible. Starting spotify sometimes gets me spotify audio, and sometimes I get stuck in a loop where my car's audio is "paused" and spotify is playing on my phone. I tried to use my phone to stream slingbox audio over bluetooth today and simply couldn't accomplish this, every time i went to bluetooth the music app would start and the slingbox feed would get disconnected. Same behavior with WatchESPN.
On an iphone, the audio is all piped through the same thing and multiple audio feeds can't play, so this would be as simple to fix as double tapping the home screen and going to the airplay like icon and selecting the right output if for some reason it wasn't playing a particular app's audio over bluetooth.
Is there an app or any change I can make that will allow me to control which application is sending the audio over bluetooth? Can I disable the music app just taking over whenever I connect my car? Any other ideas I haven't thought of?

Are you using the car mode system? Go into the car app, go to settings (tap on the bottom middle), and make sure to turn off all the auto-music and such.

No, would I be able to control sling player in that mode?

Similar Issue! Bluetooth works only with Google Music App
I have a similar issue. Bluetooth pairs well with my stereo, and if I use the Google Music App all is great. I get great sound and track information. On all other apps (pandora, spotify, tunein Radio) the app shows that my music is playing but there is no sound coming from the car audio. The strange part is...when I play on Google music, then hit play on Spotify, spotify will play my track for a few seconds before the sound goes away. The track is still playing in the app though. Has anyone else encountered this?

Has definitely happened to me on more than one occasion. I've really only "fixed" it by restarting phone and car and hoping for the best.

iPhone market penetration and awareness has driven ICE integration to the exclusion of other brands.
Lack of similar joined up Android integration is the only thing stopping me going mechless in the car.
Until then, CD.

Yes I've encountered this in my 2011 Sienna. Yep I'm one of those spoiled by how well iOS handled audio through Bluetooth. I haven't tried Spotify, but I did try pandor and tunein and got the exact same results as you, with Google Music being the only player that works. I just transferred some music from my iTunes library and will try playing music through the native music app.
This won't be a dealbreaker for me but man do I miss how seamlessley iOS handled this. At least the steering wheel controls seem to work with Google Music, allowing me to jump to the next track.

So bluetooth streaming works fine for the native music player and I can go back and forth between Google Music and the native player and it streams fine via bluetooth. Still doesn't work with Pandora.

Hi, Mine is totally broken...I could it be that the Uconnect system in my Dodge truck needs an update...Is anyone with Uconnect having any issues streaming?
Thanks in advanced

I am experiencing the same. Google music and google play stream perfectly. Maps(Navigation), Spotify, TED, Youtube have no speaker output, car speakers or otherwise.
In the same car I've previously been using a Galaxy S2 with all the above apps streaming via bluetooth just fine.
Anyone any ideas...?
Edit. I've tried everything but looks like this is a known issue with 4.1.2 jellybean. 4.2 update on its way within a month I hear.

Here's the workaround that I discovered in androidforums. I can confirm that it works with my AT&T HTC One and 2011 Sienna:
Launch pandora
Launch Google Play Music
Under Manage apps, select Google Play Music and stop it.
Sometimes Pandora starts streaming at this point.
If not, select Pandora from Running and stop everything under it.
Restart Pandora and it should stream now.

Just got an OTA update but no 4.2 yet. Bluetooth is still broken (unless you use Google music)

I have a 2013 Honda Pilot and whenever I stream music from my HTC One via Bluetooth, it will "pause" the music player. This happens all the time. It might go a few songs before it happens or will pause multiple times during a song.

[Q] Are you able to play music in your car through Bluetooth?

I am able to connect to my car and use it to make and receive calls with no issues. When I attempt to stream music to the car it connects but the car will not let me switch to the phone audio to play the stream. I think it could be a bug with the ROM.
Anyone else able to use Bluetooth for music streaming in their car?

getting my One wednesday if my Best Buy rep was accurate, and BlueTooth music better work, that's what I always use for playback!

Using it with an HS3000 hard wired into my headunit for the audio profile while simultaneously connected to the headunit itself for the phone profile and its working fine. Perhaps theres a firmware update for the headunit in your car?

I'm not able to get it to see my Sony Automotive Bluetooth player but I haven't messed with it while not driving to really go in to it.

You are receiving the audio through the 3.5mm jack. My phone connects to the car and audio calls work great. I'm also having an issue with my TV. It shows connected but no audio plays, however when I press the volume on the phone it changes on the TV. I'm thinking something is missing or messed up in the ROM. I'm not sure if this is happening with other versions. It would be good to know.

Well your question seemed to be a question of bluetooth connectivity using the audio profile, so i gave you one example of when it does work for me. It doesn't matter that its outputting from the HS3000's 3.5mm in to a line in in my car, the audio gets to the dongle is the point i was getting at. Here are a few other things i have tested with it since i was curious as to whether this is a bug:
Moto S305, LG Tone, LG Tone+, Francois et Mimi Trois speaker, generic bt speaker i got as a door prize, and a samsung soundbar. Nobody can help you test whether there is a bug if there no information as to what you're trying to connect to other than "your car". As far as i know your car's bt protocols might be outdated and HTC left out some code for their BT drivers to work with older systems or if it is a genuine bug.

I appreciate your input, I thought you meant the cable was connected to your phone. It's wierd that I have a 2013 car and my EVO 4G LTE and an S4 both work but the new M8 doesn't.

I have no problem with streaming over BT to my car stereo or routing phone calls through it. I do have stuttering audio while streaming, however, which upsets me greatly.

I went back to the car and started messing around with settings and it now works. I had to disable and enable audio streaming. Audio is clean and crisp. Thanks for the feedback!

At times my audio will not come through. turning off BT in the car and turning it back on seems to allow the audio to work.....
I do however get the audio stuttering from time to time. Sounds like a CD skip almost. Yea I have been trying to figure out if there is a setting missing or something....most likely a bug though.....

Is the stuttering with all apps? I havent had much issue now but on my evolte i used ti get stutters whenever i transitioned towers or went screen off using gonemad and some flacs, poweramp seemed to be a bit better at it though.

Wow, not good. It's posts like these that help me to be more patient as I wait for my upgrade in July. Hopefully the little one like these are ironed out by that time.

I'm also getting random Bluetooth skips. Probably kernel related.

phone is not the issue here. Most smartphones have the capability to stream music over BT. The problem is usually when your car is setup to only handle calls over BT, nothing more. there's a workaround for this: You use Mono Bluetooth app in combination with your favorite music player app. It's not HD, but it works.

It seems my factory car stereo (which is only a year old) doesn't like the M8. I tried my 7 year old BT headphones and they streamed like champs. Stupid factory head units . I'm trying a couple of changes in audio_policy.conf to see if they make a difference. I don't think kernel is the issue here.

Does your radio have the ability to turn Bluetooth audio streaming on/off? That's what worked for me with my factory unit.

No.

Alright, fixed up my streaming issue. I'll explain later and post a fix. Busy right now.

So what I ended up doing was updating audio_policy.conf in /system/etc to allow lower bit rate audio over BT/A2DP. Currently the file only allows streaming at 48000, while some devices can only handle good ol' 44100. Adding in the additional value seems to have smoothed out my streaming for the most part.
I did notice some intermittent skipping when my device was in car mode and/or charging at first, but those issues seem to have sorted themselves out now. I would recommend deleting your device and re-pairing after making the change to ensure the connection is set properly.
I'll post up a flashable zip shortly to allow others to see if it helps/works for them.
EDIT: Zip attached. Sorry it took so long, Firefox was giving me problems.

@Captain_Throwback thanks bro, will give it a try. I've noticed it only to skip when using stock HTC media apps. Using Google Play music doesn't skip for me. May be a coincidence? Anyways, flashing your fix.

Bluetooth static / crackling sound

Does anyone else have bluetooth audio quality issues with their S10? When I connect my phone to my car bluetooth, the audio is crackly sounding, somewhat like a static sound. It seems to be with the bluetooth connection itself and not any particular app - phone calls, data calls, youtube videos, spotify, discord all for example suffer from this. I need to test a bit more but I think it happens on my bluetooth headset too, but it's harder to tell because it's a cheap headset to begin with. However, the car issue does NOT happen with any other device I use, so it isn't something to do with my car.

Nobody?

I have same issue, tested with an iphone and quality is normal
