I've recently figured out that I'm able to make and receive calls from my Windows 10 PC, using my Note 9.
Requirements:
Bluetooth Connection (little did I know, I needed to plug an antenna into my Desktop PC for this)
Windows 10 (Sorry, I'm not a MAC user, so I'm no help, here on if there's a way to get it to work for MACs)
On Windows 10 - Your Phone app
On Note 9: Your Phone Companion app
Once the above requirements are satisfied, open up Your Phone on your Windows 10 PC. It will then attempt to find your Note 9 and once connected, just like connecting to any other Bluetooth device, you'll have to enable permissions, probably on both sides.
What does work:
Calling/Receiving Calls
Call notifications (audio as well)
Texting
Controlling your Phone screen
What does not work: As far as I know, any other app that plays sound, such as a music player Facebook audio or Snapchat snaps, will still play out to your phone's speakers. I'm currently trying to look into this and see if there's a way to fix this such that all audio is sent to my Desktop PC. Is there a way to get these other sounds to play to my computer via the Bluetooth connection as they would when connected to a Bluetooth Speaker or some other bluetooth car dock?

I'm on T-mobile, usa 960u, still don't have UI 2.1. Any idea when we'll get it? Do you have it yet?
When I examined the Bluetooth connection on my phone, the connection said Use For and only Calls was listed, not Audio, which explains why other sounds are not played to my computer. Is this the extent of what Your Phone does in terms of audio, only audio related to calls?
Oh neat. I can't receive or send call audio on my macbook pro (windows 10). I guess its a driver issue, the ones i got from apple through brigadier don't work so i have to use the generic drivers. guess i'll buy a BT dongle then.

I googled this and searched for it on these forums, but nothing turned up. I'm looking to use my phone connected to headphones as a bluetooth headset that I can connect to my laptop and listen to stuff.
Anyone know of a program or can whip out something like this?
anyone know what I'm talking about?
I would like to know about this too
My sound card on my laptop board is out, and shy of buying either a USB headset or a USB soundcard, I have no sound. So if you find anything on this please post. Even if its to connect via ActiveSync or WiFi, either one, just something would be great.
Maybe you upgradet your PC to 4 GB of RAM?
then it is possible that your Mainboard dont support the access to the full 4 GB RAM and just cant access the Memory for the Soundcard. (same happened to me, and i need to look for a BIOS update...)
If this is not true, you can for example Buy a Bluetooth Headset.
Because of my problem with the 4 GB Memory Upgrade i used my bluetooth headset and it worked with sound.
But because i wanted to make my sound loud on loudspeaker i got another crazy idea. (i often have thinks like that)
i enabled the bluetooth of my laptop and used my Laptop as one big external Soundcard.
also tried to use my Touch Pro, but it doesnt support the needed protocol in that direction.
Sound from Touch Pro to Laptop over bluetooth works, but not in the other direction. This would only be possible if we find any other Driver for the Phone.
Another Idea would be to use:
http://www.no23.de/no23web/Live-Audio-broadcasting-webradio-stream-online-radio.aspx?live=1
(didnt found a english webpage)
It is a tool that streams the sound from your PC. (dont know if that works without a soundcard)
you only need a player that plays a stream like that. (VideoLan for example?)
Good luck in your experiments.
If what your talking about is playing sound on your computer from your phone then you need to go into your bluetooth control panel on the PC and go over to the services tab under your devices properties box. Make sure you have the headset protocol checked and a2dp or ad2p whatever it is checked for the stereo. Go into the audio tab of the main window of the Bluetooth control panel and go to the audio tab, click on "Stereo audio player" under your devices section, then click connect. When you start dicking around with your device all sounds should now be played through your computer's speakers and the headset icon should be on the task bar of your phone.

I was just playing around with my laptop last night and was able to do the same thing. My laptop didn't come with bluetooth; however I was able to buy a bluetooth USB dongle at bestbuy for less than 20$. Now I can play music through my laptop speakers from my phone. As far as playing music the other way, with a broken computer sound card... I'm not sure if it will work...
You can By....
1.download and install winamp and nulsoft shoutcast source dsp . www.winamp.com
2.download and install SHOUTcast Distributed
Network Audio Server (DNAS)
3.cofigure acording to your ip adress,port,etc,then configure your router's firewall to allow that port (will play from lan and internet as well).
4. open winamp option>properties>plug-ins>dsp/effect>nullsoft shoutcast source dsp>configure the options like input output....
5.try playing from your windows media player with local adress ,example:- http://192.168.1.112:8080
6.save the play list and copy it to your phone (saves time).
7.on your phone connect wifi , run tcpmp and try playing that playlist .
works on my wing , dash and htc fuze . the audio is delayed by couple of seconds .
I have a 2015 Ford Focus ST with Nav and the Sync system. I cannot get the Note 5 to play audio over USB or BlueTooth. I can get audio over USB and BT on my iPhone 6 and an older Nexus 5 I have.
Does anyone know where the USB and BT settings are on the Note 5 so I can adjust them to get the Note 5 to work?
After your Bluetooth connects go into Bluetooth settings on your phone and make sure it is connected to both hands free profile and the media profile. Some vehicles do not support the media profile
i travel like 97% of the time for work, and mine has worked just fine in all the vehicles i've rented, including the focus hardbacks (I like their mpg). in fact, I find their BT systems to be better than other vehicles'.

Yep, make sure it connects to media. I had the same issue and went into settings. Works fine now.

He doesn't either.
Few updates.
I should clarify, I am hoping to get Pocket Cast to work so I can listen to podcasts.
I have added a few MP3 song files to the Note 5 and they will play of the USB. It worked as soon as I turned off USB Debugging. It appears the Note 5 is connecting as a storage device, as playing Pocket Cast on the device will not play to the car. I even changed the setting in Pocket Cast to make the files available to other apps on the device.
It appears the Note 5 will only connect to my Sync system as a phone when using BlueTooth. I turned the BT off on my iPhone 6 and deleted the device from the Sync system. It was only showing the Note 5 and I set it as the Favorite device. I then went to the BT settings on the Note 5 and when I go to the Media setting to ON under the Sync connection, it toggles to ON and then back to OFF. It will not stay in the ON position.
Hello,
I just purchased and installed a Pioneer AVH-4100NEX. So far it's pretty slick. I'll be using it with my Galaxy S6.
I noticed that when I try to disable the Call Audio Bluetooth profile from the phone side, it re-enables itself... like I HAVE to use the NEX for call audio.
I would like to be able to turn on my BT headset and use that instead, without much hassle. There are definitely times where I'll be in the car with other people and don't want the whole car to hear the conversation. It also presents a call quality issue with the far end being able to hear the system speakers.
Do I have to unplug USB from the NEX to make this work?

I have same unit, try having headset connected before plugging in your phone. That may work

I'm bumping this up. With my previous phone (LG V10) I could select which device use to make phone calls, Android Auto device or a bluetooth headset (Plantronics). Now with a Oneplus 3T that is not possible anymore.
AA automatically rerouting "BT phone" to main AA device. That is really annoying.
If someone knows a workaround to this please give advice, thanks...
You have to have it enabled, in a nutshell the unit (Pioneer) declares that it has bluetooth capabilities and declares the bluetooth mac address when it initialize the connection, than Android Auto (trough Google Play Services which is a system app) will enable the bluetooth, set up a pairing if it doesn't exist and connect to it, so no matter what you do it will always connect to it, the only way to "avoid" this is:
a) Get another phone which connects to the Pioneer bluetooth, then connect the phone (haven't tried this, but probably will do the trick)
b) Alter the pioneer unit so it doesn't send the bluetooth mac and it doesn't declare the bluetooth service (almost impossible, you will need to replace the app on the unit)
I recently switched from the galaxy note 4 to the galaxy note 8 and that made me unable to use skype on the headset. This did not happen with my Note 4, and it does not happen with other apps (i.e. whatsapp)
Steps to reproduce:
Have the headset paired with the phone
Ensure you can get audio from multimedia players
Ensure you can get audio from normal phone calls
Ensure you can get call audio from other apps (i.e. whatsapp)
Ensure you have the latest firmware (1.3.4) and the latest skype (8.10.0.4)
Make a call on skype (i.e. sound testing service)
Expected:
All media streams pause
Headset switches to call mode (you can hear noise cancelling turn off, as happens with normal calls via the phone)
Call works normally and you can hear as well as speak to the other person
Observed:
All media streams pause
Call is routed to the phone earpiece
When hanging up in skype, the skype sound for ending calls is heard on the headphone
Workarounds attempted (none of them work):
Settings > Sounds and vibration > separate app sound
Choose app as skype and audio device as "bluetooth device (QC35)"
Fail
Install BTmono from the play store
You can hear QC35 changing to "call mode" (noise cancelling stops)
As soon as you try calling via skype, QC35 returns to normal mode
Fail
Install SoundAbout
Fail
Install Samsung Connect
Switch Audio Output to QC35
Fail
Workaround for incompatibility between QC35 and Skype for android
Hi,
I've had exactly the same issue and the only workaround has been to use Skype Lite instead of the normal version of the app and the beta version. I guess they use sime type of codec not compatible with the headset.
Have you found any other solution? I don't know if Skype lite is available in all the countries but I'm sure you can easily find it on the web in case you'd like to try if that works for you too
No, I returned my note 8 and switched back to the note 4 (a much better phone in my opinion, especially when you consider how old it is). The root experience in the note 8 is not worth it, everything is crippled and support just wasn't there when I got it. Most of the stuff in XPOSED is broken. I might wait for the note 9 or the new motorola z3 force.
I tried posting in microsoft forums for help, which was completely useless. I also tried posting in bose, and they were much more helpful, as you can see for yourself, but still wasn't able to fix the issue.

Here are a few things you can try:
- Post in samsung forums asking for help
- Try attempting some of the things I tried. Maybe they work for you. There have been a ton of updates since I asked this question.
- Try updating the firmware on your QC35, especially if you've never done it: you get the ability to turn off noise cancelling in one of the patches.
- See if the new QC35-II works. Just go to a store and pair your phone with one of the showcase units.
- For that matter, see if one of the showcase QC35 works with your phone.
- Try pairing your QC35 with another note 8. Just go to a phone store and use the demo phone there (though be careful, some showcase phones are demonstrators and use different hardware)
- Try pairing your QC35 with another model entirely. It's unlikely to be the android version, otherwise bose would have noticed...
Hello all,
I'm having a problem with the Bluetooth on my Desire 10 Pro. Recently, I'm unable to use the Bluetooth media stream alongside with the phone .. in screenshot 1, both, phone and media, are connected for the Bluetooth device, in this setup, I can't hear any music coming out of the Bluetooth device .. if I change the setup to screenshot 2, I disconnect the phone .. the media starts playing normally and I can hear music coming out of the speakers .. anyone faced this and was able to solve it?

I have this device. It certainly doesn't go well with Bluetooth connections and devices. I currently not using the phone because of the Bluetooth connectivity issues. I use Bluetooth earphones and a smartwatch all the time. This phone certainly cannot handle it. My LG G6 has no problems connecting.

So, it is a Gobal issue then .. I think I'll try to report it to HTC to find a fix for it
