[Q] Problem with bluetooth headset - Motorola Atrix HD

I have bought a new bluetooth headset, and having problem with it. There is no audio in bsplayer and in vlc. The headset is paired, and no sound is played through the phone speaker. The song skip functions do work. What prevents me from throwing away the headset is the fact that when I play music in the native Music Player, the headset works.
The old headset works in all the programs.
Both sets are just generic (probably) Chinese made junk. I can't post links, but if you go to ebay and look for "Adjustable Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Headset Headphone Earphone + Mic+ FM Radio", you'll see it. The old one is seven years old and I have no idea what model it is.
The phone runs Android 2.3.7, CyanogenMod-7.2.0-olympus.
I did try to uninstall and reinstall bsplayer.
Any ideas?

Yes, head back to our device forum. You jumped up to the AHD forum instead of the A4G

Music Thru Car BlueTooth

Is there a app that will allow music to play thru the Bluetooth in my car?
I have a stock radio that has bluetooth, I can make & receive calls in my car using the bluetooth. However I can NOT play music on my phone and hear it thru my car speakers.
Is there a app solution to this or something else to get this to work
TIA
I would love this...
also I
I'm not understanding the question. Any music player on the G1 (with 1.5) can play music over AD2P through your car headunit. I do it all the time. I can also pause/play and track-forward/back using the headunit's controls.

Not all bluetooth devices support the a2dp profile, some just act as a headset, I've seen similar requests for people wanting audio streamed to a blue tooth headset that doesn't support a2dp either.
As long as your running 1.5 and the latest radio that goes with it, you should be able to get A2DP working without any other applications. Just pair up your car stereo with your phone and it should automatically detect the profile and start piping audio through.

Exactly, I believe my car stereo does NOT support A2DP. I have no problems playing/hearing music thru my Motorola HT820 or my PC.

Long press "Bluetooth Handsfree" and select options. Under profiles you should see a Media profile and it should be checked. If you do not see this, your stereo does not support A2DP.
edit: If your stereo has a line out jack, you can get something like this to make your system A2DP capable without buying a whole new stereo.

Thanks for the tip
I checked under options and it does not show a "Media" profile
My stereo does have a line out jack, but Im not sure I want to spend $100+ on a gadget.
Im hoping some bright app developer can make a app to some how trick my stereo into thinking its a call as my phone plays music
Wishful thinking? I think not, Im sure someone can make it work. I do remember when people said transfering files via Bluetooth was impossible! But now we can with Bluex.

Not possible. The way bluetooth works is that the both devices have to have the same profile in common to communicate with each other. Your phone supports it, your car stereo does not. With OBEX, other devices supported it but the phone did not. To get this working you would either need to hack your stereo to enable the A2DP profile, get a bluetooth gateway (like what I have) or get a new stereo receiver that supports A2DP out of the box.
From experience I can say that the gateway is the best option. I got mine on sale for under $50 at buy.com and it works beautifully. My phone automatically pairs with it when my car turns on and I can make/receive calls as well as listen to music no problem.

He already said other handsets support sending audio to BT devices that don't support A2DP, it's just a matter if the underlying Android OS supports sending audio streaming to non-A2DP devices, eg faking a phone call basically, or not. Or if it can easily be hacked in by someone.
I'm guessing this may require screwing about with the underlying OS code, an app alone may not be able to do it without OS support.
At least I understand the question better now You want an app developer to create something that allows the phone to make up for what's lacking in your headunit.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the "headset" profile mono by definition? Are you cool with giving up stereo and audio quality just to get your music over bluetooth to your headunit?
I won't say it's not possible. I've been wrong before on pronouncements like that. But app development is driven by need in the Android world (usually the developer's need first). I hope there's a big enough need that someone will help you out.

The same arguments are made about MP3 v lossless compression, and it turns out people do accept these sort of limitations after all
I don't know enough about the bluetooth standards to even know where to begin making such an app, and I don't plan to start reading up to find out
While not as cheap as a BT audio gateway option, but you can get an inline BT attachment to suit non-BT enabled car radios to support A2DP and for those of you still using phones to talk to others you can even use it as a hands free car kit which uses the car speaks...

I'm glad my unit already does this. But I never use it.
Its worse than just being mono... headset profile is actually a much lower quality... phone quality.
Bluetooth A2DP Audio Gateways
I've been trying to do the same thing as OP, except my stereo does NOT have bluetooth. It does have an aux in down by the cigarette lighter. I've been googling like a fool and researching available bluetooth gateways, thanks to the poster that pointed us towards that Kensington unit. I'm not willing to spend $100 US on this functionality. I have, however, found a nice little device I plan to pick up soon.

LOL your missing out... 16gb sd card and you can for get about using other mp3 player. *couch ipod couch zune couch*
anyway there's a long tread about 3.5 bluetooth dongle Here
I know it's old, but in case anyone stumbles on this thread, try btmono (an app on Google play) It puts audio through a mono headset such as that described above. Cheers

[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

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

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.

Sony MW600 Bluetooth stero headphones

Hi everyone, I just recieved my Sony MW600's in the mail and charged it up and paired it to the Focus. http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wireless/store/productdetail.asp?productid=25845
This is by far the best headphones I've used next to the HBH-IS900's I've owned the past 2 years. I would've gotten another pair of the IS900's but didn't want the propitary charging port after seeing the MW600's are micro usb too. Pairing was easy and all the music controll functions work great. The headset has it's own volume adjustments too, but it's touch sensitive which you have to watch out when your holding it by the sides. You can skip tracks or pause music with no problems. Now for watching video they of course don't work because there is a problem with Zune sending sound to the headset, but the controls still work. The FM radio function works pretty awesome, better than my cars tuner. To bad you can't store station pre-sets. Only other thing is finding a place to clip it. Other than that it is a very good buy.
I have it - I second it as one of the best devices for bluetooth.

I'll take a stab at it. Bluetooth supports certain profiles. If you have a simple "Hands Free" headset, it may or may not produce music. I have Stereo BT headphones that function as a hands free headset (it also has a mic) as well as headphones for music. However I also have a low cost Motorola single ear loop and it only works for phone calls.
I think the type of headset you are looking for supports A2DP.
Or I might be completely wrong.
