Hi,
I considered buying a Bluetooth speaker but they're still fairly pricey and not anywhere near as good in terms of sound quality compared to the surround sound setup on my PC
I'm looking for as simple a solution as possible in terms of streaming music to my PC from my GNote, while retaining the ability to control the music from the GNote. Essentially turning the PC into a bluetooth speaker.
Just to be super awkward this would be even better still if it could be done via WiFi instead of bluetooth... is this possible?
Used to do that easily using "bluesoleil" pc software.

You have AllShare app on phone.Install this on pc too trough Kies(it's somewhere in settings or tools) and you can stream to and from pc,movies and audio,over wifi... New AllShare app is over the net server but the old one connects directly to pc.

I've done some googling to no avail. Hopefully someone here might know the answer. Is it possible to stream audio from my PC to my phone? To be specific, I would like to listen to the audio coming from my PC i.e. if I'm watching a movie I'd like the movie's audio steaming from the device, not music. I'm also not talking about watching movies from my PC on the device i.e. Orb. Thanks for any help!
could you clarify it a different way? do you mean play just the audio on your phone while watching a movie on the pc?
i use subsonic to play music on my phone that resides on my pc with a server app on my pc.
you could also use streamfurious if you have a shoutcast playlist stream set up already
seeing what you guys were talking about, i remembered that i have winampremote instaled in my pc at home, and went to get the aplic from the market to use in my N1 (went also to another site to get the server app to install in my pc. it all worked well and i get access to my library at home. i see the names of the music, etc etc. the only thing that is not working is the sound (I can't hear anything ) is it possible the N1 phone couldn't play this kind o. streams?
if some of you could give a tip i would be much appreciated. i'm trying over the net and not kn my lan...

Can anyone suggest a dock (like you get for iphones) that works well with this phone. It would need a 3.5mm jack or bt and charging capabilities and good speakers, for loud indoor use. I use a bt sterio in my car.

Well this isn't a perfect solution and since I am waiting for mine to arrive in the post today, it isn't tested but should work in theory.
Sonos S5 Media Player
LG Multimedia Stand
Samba App for Android
Sonos Controller App
As long as both the Media player and the phone are connected to the same network, the player should be able to see the Samba share on the phone and play the music stored on it. You can control what gets played using the Sonos app on your phone.
If the media player is not on the same network as the phone, then you can connect the phone direct using a 3.5mm male/male cable.
my friend has one of these on loan, he controlls it via his iphone and WM HD2. problem is its expensive

the lg multimedia stand is it just a charge stand? without any special function?
Correct, the stand is just a stand. As the phone really needs to be on charge, I just thought it looked better that way.
The setup works really well, the player connects to the phone without any trouble and the sound quality is excellent. It was expensive, but if you like your music it is worth it.
BT sounds great in my car.... think what i need is a BT capable, mini/hifisystem thing... nit much cheap there also. Is there a BT connector you can add to an aux in. would rather do this than via FM transmitter
I use a BT device on my hi-fi system and I just have to connect the phone to it and start playing the music (works with all the phone I have tested so far: iPhone 3GS, HTC Magic, Google Nexus One and SE X10).
The device uses RCA cables to transmit the sound to the hi-fi system and it works great !
What's it called

Here is the device I use but you can find other models. Some of them are able to remote control your phone (next/previous music, play/pause).
Belkin - F8Z492cw (reference name, I'm still not allowed to post external link in my comments)
Check on Google many devices are available on market
gone for this
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SAMSUNG-WORLDS-CHANNEL-SURROUND-SPEAKER/dp/B001L8B2O8
i found this which could be modded to suit any phone
do a search for
ipod-dock-adapter-for-the-motorola-droid
I use an FM tranmitter. I made this usb only dock from an ipod/iphone dock from poundland.
https://picasaweb.google.com/stevvie/LGOptimus2XStand?authkey=Gv1sRgCPDbvJa0vc64IQ#
And then attatch my fm transmitter (that I got from hong kong) which works for about 0.5 of a mile (but eats batteries, luckily it take 1 AA and last for about 4-5 hours on 1 rechargable) and then tune what ever radio I want to the transmitter. I can even listen to it in the shower with a cheap battery radio thats water proof.
Well so here it is,
Usually I connect my Note to my car radio via Bluetooth, and then sometimes it connect as handset, and sometimes as media.
in settings is both set up to connect as media and as handset.
Second when I wanna play some music, in stock media player you have to share it thought Bluetooth, and that means again connecting the phone to radio via Bluetooth, after it's already connected.
As I can remember with my HTC that worked way better then with my new Note.
on HTC i just pressed connect and that was it, normally played music and when somebody called it worked flawlessly...
Any help please...

Hello to all,
A few days ago I received my LG O2x, everything works fine. Today I bought an adapter to connect my phone to my tv using HDMI.
The picture is transferred perfectly, but I got no audio on my tv. The phone speaker keeps working instead of my tv.
Is there a setting I missed? Or perhaps an app that can select the output device (ubuntu-like)?
My phone is updated to android 2.3.4
The tv works fine with my HD Mediabox.
Hope you can help!
Regard,
Matthijs
Anybody?

Hdmi works great on another tv, but not on my 5 year old Grundig Cinaro HDready tv. Only picture no sound.
Does somebody know how to get it working?
Sent from my LG-P990 using XDA
I think that your TV doesn't support it or something if it works on other TV's with Audio except on yours then it's your TV...
Yeah seems to be the problem, tried it on 3 tvs, 2 Grundig (same type) 1 Sony. Only the sony works.
But connecting my laptop to my grundig tv is no problem, audio and video.
So my thougt is: phone doesn't recognize tv and sends no audio.
Next thougt: there should be more people that wants to select theire audio output, ie 3.5mm instead of hdmi. So if there is an app that can force audio to a selected output, I can try if that solves my problem. But I can't find such an app.

Hi peoples!
I recently got my pebble and installed the app, but since I installed the app I've noticed something odd with my phone. When any bluetooth device connects, media playback will switch from the speakers to the earpiece, and bluetooth headsets wont play/control music anymore. When connected to wired headphones itll play, but the default audio buttons will change the call volume, not media. After 10-30min it reverts to how it should be...at least until a new bluetooth connection is made. This persists whether pebble is connected or not, or if the app is installed or later uninstalled. Is this something to do with the pebble's connection to the phone, and if so is there any way to fix it? I've tried a full system reset on the phone and it's good for awhile, then changes again. Is it possible to just reset the audio drivers?
For some background information, I'm using a Galaxy S4 (Verizon) running 4.3 and no custom/root software. Both the Pebble app and firmware are up to date (as of 12/10/13), and accessibility services are turned off.
I'd appreciate any help I can get, thanks in advance!
What media apps are you using? Some apps such as BeyondPod have a setting on whether they send the song info to the bluetooth device or not...turning this setting off will correct some issues.

I got my Pebble two days ago and I've used it twice so far in my car with no problems. I use a Bluetooth receiver which I plug into my cassette adapter since I don't actually have a car system that has Bluetooth. I've also been able to control the music from the watch with no problems. I use a N5.
I got a N4. No problems over here. I would look over the settings of whatever apps you use! And play around with those.
