Turn on A2DP for music

Has anyone figured out a quicker way to turn on A2DP BT connection? It takes way too many clicks and very difficult to do with finger. The best solution is a one-finger-click icon in HTC Today. Moreover, how can I create a shortcut to wireless manager? It's not one of the application listed on the list.

This is a today screen plug-in that makes it very simple.
http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=freeware
It also accepts command line input without any today screen plug-in.

Here is what I need to do when I want to listen to music through my BT stereo headset
1. Click on the Wireless Manager icon on HTCHomePlugin.
2. Click on Settings
3. Select Bluetooth
4. Click and Hold on the name of my BT headset (with stylus)
5. Select "Set as Wireless Stereo"

Thank you

on my Sony BT30Qs I just have to press the play button on the earpiece and it will connect

Must be the bluetooth implementation on the device - yours sounds nice. I purchased some Musicfan A2DP speakers recently and I also have to go throught the laborious process mentioned above.

My Procedure -
1. Comm Manager and turn on Bluetooth
2. turn on my headset
3. start Windows Media Player
Now - if I leave Bluetooth on all the time (which I have started to do since the threads on 'the battery lasts longer with bluetooth on and no headset on' then that simply leaves the last two options - not sure how to get more simple than that on my TILT.

A2DP Blueooth Car Stereo won't reconnect to mobile

I have the Pioneer DEH-P9800BT Bluetooth Head Unit in my car, which supports stereo BT music streaming from any A2DP device.
I also have the HTC TyTN II Mobile which supports the same.
I have paired the two devices, and on the initial pairing successfully played music from the HTC through the Pioneer. When that worked, the BT Audio icon appears in the title bar of the mobile (headphones with a musical note in the middle).
However, after switching off the car and later returning, I have 2 issues:
1) It is impossible to reconnect the BT stereo music playback, unless I delete the Pioneer device from the list of BT devices within the mobile phone, then pair them again. Nothing else seems to work. Simply, I just want all music to be routed through the Pioneer whenever it is in range of the mobile.
2) I have set the mobile phone as "Phone 1" in the Pioneer, and have enabled "Auto Connect", yet it does not auto connect. Every time I get in the car I have to manually scroll to Telephone>Function>Connect Phone>Phone 1. You can imagine what a laborious pain that is compared to my previous 5 year old Nokia Bluetooth Car Kit which just auto-connects whenever my mobile is in range.
Are you able to solve either problem?

Anyone ?
I have a similar issue with a Bluetooth clip (allows my Shure headphone to be used over bluetooth)
I have to go Start/Settings/Connections/Bluetooth, click onthe headset and "Set as Wireless Stereo", whereas my car bluetooth headset will auto-detect and re-connect.
Is this poor hardware or is the A2DP protocol not defined for re-connection standards, so different appliances act differently?

I found A2DP Toggle via Google. Just download that for free and it'll solve the issue!

I've been using A2DP Toggle myself for some time and must say that it is an awesome little utility. One word of caution, however, is that people (myself included) have been finding that the today screen plug-in has a tendency to really drain the battery fast! You can read a bit more on this issue at http://www.teksoftco.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1626&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
To get around the battery drain problem I've removed the plug-in from my today screen and simply generated program shortcuts on my today screen (using Pocket Plus or UltimateLauncher) to execute the utility in command line mode. So you get the benefit of toggling A2DP on/off with a single screen tap without the downside of battery drain from the today screen plug-in.
To turn A2DP ON create a shortcut that runs:
"Program Files\Teksoft\A2DPToggle\a2dp.exe -a2dp: on"
To turn A2DP OFF create a shortcut that runs:
"Program Files\Teksoft\A2DPToggle\a2dp.exe -a2dp: off"

mex-bt3600u sony head unit

anyone pairing this with a kaiser... any tips would be welcome

mex-2500 - guess it's allmost the same
No problems here
Can't remember the excact way to do it but it's something with turning the radio off and holding down a button for a long long time until the BT icon flashes on the radio and KEEP pressing it for a while longer

been playing with it today... just need to hold 6 once their paired. what a great bit of kit. Love the mp3 streaming via bt

The streaming is not working for me after I switch the radio off and on again, only works the first time it's paired
I guess it's the MEX-BT2500's firmware or something
Yours have USB also right? I'd love to have that

Wireless Stereo
In "Comm Manager" go to "Settings" then to "Bluetooth" then press "XPLOD" and you will see two items: "Wireless Stereo" and "Hands Free". Switch off "Wireless Stereo" and save. Then open this page again and switch "Wireless Stereo" on.
Save it. On your car radio is the sign of "Wireless Stereo" again. I know, it´s crazy but it works.

wireless stereo
I checked setup yesterday: select "Wireless Stereo" on the radio then push
knob "6" (station channel) and your "Wireless Stereo" is "on" again.

Damn... Your right
Switching to "BT AUDIO" on the radio and pressing 6 ('pause' as it also says above it) switches it on again - Thanks a million mate
...any chance I can start playback using the buttons on the radio too?

just need to hold 6 once their paired once and will always be reconised again.
I have installed steering wheel controlls and this lets me controll playback on the phone (skiping tracks ect). Nice kit

holding button calls last number. Pressing quickly lets you use voice activation.

Has anyone got the voice activation to actually work on the Kaiser? I can't get it tow work.
I'm using Hyper Dragon III (Opal) which didn't have any voice software installed so I got MS Voice command on there.
The voice dialing doesn't work
I installed cyperion or whatever it's called aswell as the MS Voice command and that doesn't work either
Any help would be great!

Help with Sony MEX-BT3600U Bluetooth Calling
Please help me solve this issue with my Sony MEX-BT3600u. I recently installed the head unit, everything is connected and works fine, but every time I try to call someone i cannot hear the person but the they can hear me. Now I've connected 2 apms and a cross over unit. I've connected the head unit by RCA Cable to the Cross-Over and then the 2 Amps are connected by RCA Cables to the Cross-Over, but instead of connecting the speakers to the unit I connected them directly to the amps instead.
Do I have to connect the a pair of speakers to the head so that I can hear the person I called?
Please help..
Thanks

[Q] Force A2DP on Gear? All audio possible?

I'm thinking instead of trying to get Google Now / voice-to-text running on the watch, why we can't use the watch as an a2dp device?
Relay the audio back and forth to the phone and let the phone do the processing and Internet.
I know it's possible because you can make a phone call from the watch, so why can't we tell Google Now or s-voice to send a text message?
Has one one given this a go? If so, is it as awesome as I imagine?? Also, how? I can't seem to get any audio other than call audio and on-watch audio out of the watch.
Also, this may be a stretch, but is there perchance a VNC-type app that can be run across bluetooth? View the phone's screen on your watch all willy-nilly and what's. Sounds crazy, I know, but it FEELS like it could be done.

----update
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=js.android.btmusic
This looks promising for talking to Google Now! I'm in class right now, but I'll give it a go here in about an hour.
----
Doesn't work. Just forwards media audio out the earpiece on the phone.
I'll do some fiddling with it later.
-----YET ANOTHER IDEA
I should just make a thread called "My perfect Gear in a perfect world", but what about fullscreen keyboard? You know how on your phone, you go to landscape mode and your keyboard takes up the whole screen with it's own textbox on top? Would there be a way to force that on the gear? Seems like every time I'm trying to type on the gear, the keyboard is covering what I'm typing.

using the phone's internet to do the actual processing of information is referred to as "TETHERING"... you are basically saying "let's use our galaxy gear as a microphone" ... this is what tethering would do. Initiate a request from the galaxy gear, process request using phone's internet, completing task at origin of initial request / location.
Now...... using the galaxy gear as a module to transmit system sound would be interesting idea... meaning we emulate our phones microphone via bluetooth connection (gear) but then you'd have to shut off the gear's sounds and all audio coming from the phone would somehow have to transmit through the gear... which i think would be very slow/ laggy... but also an interesting thought

I picked up a cheap bluetooth speaker to play music on, and I noticed it has an extra profile in the bluetooth settings on my phone that the Gear doesn't have. "Media Audio"
I can use the bluetooth speaker talk to Google Now, but not the Gear, so I"m thinking this is what's missing.
Is this a hardware thing? Can this be spoofed/modified to include the Media Audio for the Gear?

MEDIA AUDIO is a bluetooth profile that some device/receiver bluetooth DO have
for example i have a chinese bluetooth dialer that does have 2 bt profile.... os i can enable it for the phone audio.... AND for media audio. and wwhen i play a song on my phone.... also via youtube app, the audio is STREAMED TO THE BT RECEIVER ( the dialer) that does have a 3,5mm hole to use it with headphones. and i can HEAR youtube audio wireless using the BT dialer plus headphones...... thaks to media audio profile

It brings a tear to my eye that this was never implemented before the abandonment of the Null rom, A2DP is basically the only thing missing from it.

Audio via Bluetooth stuttering - unusable

Hi all,
The same headphones which used to work perfectly with my Huawei Honor 8 stutter upon Bluetooth music playback to the point of unusuable. It's the kind of stuttering like there's a poor connection/bandwidth issue between the phone and the headphones. It's similar to what happened on my Huawei Honor 8 when I was washing my car and ducked my head under the car
Tried multiple apps:
Google Play Music
Youtube
Youtube Music
Amazon Music
EDIT: ONLY my Philips SHB4405 headphones suffer! Tried different bluetooth devices to eliminate the headphones, same stutter.
Tried setting the special access to the battery use: "Settings", search for "Special access". Select "Ignore battery optimisation". Make sure "All apps" are shown. Select the app you want and set it to "Allow (May drain your battery more quickly)"
Tried setting Battery settings of the app to manage manually then Auto launch, Secondary Launch and Run in background all toggled on.
Any ideas please?

It is likely their hyper-aggressive battery management software, which there seems to be no way to remove.
You may try to go to development mode menu and play around with the BT audio bit rates and codexs. Or, just take it back to the shop and exchange it for a new one.

I wish they'd just use STOCK ANDROID. who the hell do they think they are to think they know better than Google about it's own OS!!! very cross

try turn off WiFi ! - > WiFi + Bluetooth = stuttering

I'm using my phone with two BT device, one is a Jabra device I have in my car, the other one is the Backbeat fit from Plantronics. Honestly say BT communication works very well. EMUI 8.1.0.161 (C432)
Any update available for download?

funnily enough I did have an update apply yesterday but it didn't fix this behaviour. EMUI 8.1.0.159 (C782)
I have an update to my OP though. The bluetooth music streaming actually works perfectly on every bluetooth audio device I have (Radio, AV receiver, 2 x car stereos, bluetooth speaker, another set of bluetooth headphones) so I can only assume that the Huawei P20 Pro is incompatible with the Philips SHB4405 headphones! sounds bizarre to say it but that's my experience!

Bluetooth codec fix
I fixed this on my Honor 8x by changing the bluetooth codec used in the developer settings.
1. Enable developer settings
2. Change the "Bluetooth audio codec" setting value from "aptX" to "SBC"

Hi mate, check the supported codecs on your headsets. Enable developer options in Settings and force SBC codec.

Has the latest 9.0 solved your Bluetooth problem?

I have the same issue with Bose and Jabra headsets... Cheap chinese BT headsets Line taotronic seems to works fine.. I have given up trying to figure out the cause... Thing is I love the p20 Pro but this BT problem is really annoying!

Hi Guys,
I have a P20 and I love it, but had the BT audio stuttering problem in my car for a while - the radio is fine, my gf's Samsung can stream to it no problem.
9.0 didn't help, the problem persisted until... I changed the display sleep time to 10 minutes and forgot about it.
So after some testing I can 100% confirm that the stuttering happends only when the screen is off.
When I drive with the screen on, the BT music streaming works great. When I turn off the display - within minutes the stuttering starts. Turn on screen again - no stuttering.
Test it.

Happens on my Mate 10 only when screen is off. I already removed PowerGenius and had set battery optimization off to my music app. This is so annoyingly frustrating. Any solution yet?

I think I have the same or a similar issue using Beoplay H9. Changing codec to manual SBC or AAC does not work, but SBC is noticably better.
Closing all open apps or restarting bluetooth often works, but restarting the phone completely alleviates the problem. After an hour or two the problem appears again.

Can you check if the headphones are paired to anything else in the vicinity? Like a tablet or other phone? May be the problem..
Also the codecs in use make a difference too, can be altered in Dev options.
I had problems with calls with a very expensive pair of plantronics on my phone, the v6200's £275 when they were released lol.
Base didn't make a difference either Oreo all the way up to 9.1, in fact it was better on Oreo.
Doesn't affect everyone in the same way.

Paired to stuff yes but I can take them out of the question by wandering away from any of the devices for a 1-2 mile walk

Still experiencing this same problem on EMUI 9.1, even after disabling battery optimization in all music apps.

This worked for me - turn off 'Always on Display'
I was getting brief but regular strutters with my bluetooth headphones (Marley Positive Vibrations 2) but only when the p20 pro was put in my jeans pocket, so walking the dog while listening to Spotify was a pretty glitchy affair. At first I assumed being inside the pocket was degrading the bluetooth signal strength but I recently noticed that whenever the phone sensed it was inside my pocket (or in a pitch black room) it was turning off 'Always on Display' to save battery, so wondered if this was affecting the bluetooth audio connection (especially as people already suggested it was related to either display settings or battery saving options).
I disabled 'Always on Display' and this stuttering problem has been completely resolved for me (EMUI 9.1).

@theToots
Where to find the option 'Always on Display'
edit:
Found

I have this same Issue using a P20 Pro and Sennheiser HD 4.50 btnc.
This annoying audio stuttering started happening only after a software update (EMUI 9.1.0.361).
A fix that works for me is to turn my location off.
