Did you install the a2dp patch?

no, i didn't know their was one. im going to look for it now and see if it solves my problems. but it may be my bluetooth. i have a Motorola H3 bluetooth headset
edit i installed the fix and when i go to settings >connection> bluetooth> Menu>Devices>Motorola H3 i get the option of headset but i cant hear music through it. do i need a different media player?
or is there any way to get my phone to recognize the orignal headphones it came with.

The motorola h3 isn't an a2dp headset. I'd suggest the motorola s9, which is absolutely the best I've ever tried (and I've tried alot), but expensive. with an a2dp headset, you'll get an options for "headset" and "wireless stereo".
You can get music to go a non-a2dp headset, but it somewhat of a pain, and sounds like crap anyway.
But it is wierd that your wired headset doesn't work w/ your phone. when you plug it in, does it automatically switch to 'headset' profile?

@ dm251z, nope it doesnt automatically say headset or switch into the headset profile nor does it allow me to select it.

I suspect that there is hardware problem, but of course I have no way of knowing. normally, you can stick just about anything into the headphone jack, and the phone will automatically switch to headset profile (I just tried sticking in an adapter w/o headphones, and that switched it). I don't think that that profile can be switched manually, only hardware controlled. So maybe the headphone jack is shot.
sorry I can't be of more help. I guess I'd suggest trying stereo bluetooth. You can't go wrong with a decent bluetooth headset...even if the phone is shot, you can still use the headset with your next phone. Also for the a2dp patch to work, make sure that your phone has the latest ROM installed, or at least some version of aku 2.x
good luck.

ok. thanx alot for all your help. i even tried a friend of mines adaptor and it didnt work either so i guess ur right. o well. thanx again.

A2dp motorola S9+windows xp

first off, major props to the xda community, you guys are the best!
now for an interesting problem/project:
It's been a month since I've purchased my Motorola S9 bluetooth headphones http://www.motorola.com/motoinfo/product/details.jsp?globalObjectId=177 and have been amazed by what I can do when combine the S9 with my HTC touch and cyberon's voice dialer which is a voice activation program
I use it to:
listen to stereo music
launch programs
stereo music remote control
speed dial
raise and lower volume
teach iphone users the meaning of envy
just being able to do that with with the a2dp remote and microphone of the s9 makes it feel like it's 2030 where people are wired to computers and technology is transparent and everywhere. The s9 feels like sci fi technology... almost. the s9+htc touch is a great no hassle way of getting the information you want pumped into your ears
so as a tech enthusiast I've asked myself,
why the hell can't my computer do this?? i mean, it's 2008 and I'm still using a keyboard and mouse for everything?
I'm trying to make the S9's work on my mac book pro running windows xp+bootcamp drivers but windows doesn't even support a2dp much less handsfree wireless mic profile
i've an online tutorial by katy hxxp: www.djkaty.com/drupal/vista/bluetootha2dp but installing broadcomm's bluetooth stack gives me an error telling me that there is no bluetooth radio device detected which is total bull as i've been able to send files to my HTC touch via bluetooth. I've also tried installing another bluetooth replacement stack called bluesoleil; with no luck
I've also am about to start trying adding widcomm using this guide (http://www.dev-toast.com/2007/01/05/uncrippling-bluetooth-in-vista-rtm)
but in the guide said a2dp doesn't work with widcomm
anyways how do i make bluetooth a2dp work and my s9's mic to work via bluetooth on pc? is my ultimate question
also, if you could recomend a voice activation program that works as well as cyberon's voice dialer I'm looking for the type of functionality where I can press the voice button issue a command and then good stuff happens I bet lots of other people thought of doing the same thing like this
could you please help?
A step by step guide would be aprechiated

update: I've been able to install widcomm drivers version 5.1 and everything works... except the a2dp UGH!

BlueSoleil, with some external BT dongles, does support A2DP. It's just that the BT dongle itself must support it in hardware.
That is, shop for an external BT dongle if you do need A2DP.

thanx but i'm trying to get my internal laptop's bluetooth to use it I've heard good reports that i'm just using the wrong version of widcomm drivers.... time to reinstall everything...again
besides who wants to carry around a laptop with a dongle flopping around? i'll try to avoid the dongle solution if i can

A2DP and bluetooth stack
Having same issues here. My goal is using BOTH A2dp and Blackberry wireless sync via bluetooth (just a serial port).
I find it impossible as Blackberry will only work with native xp drivers and A2DP is not supported in xp.
Currently i gave up wireless sync and am using A2DP with Bluesoleil, which works fine for me.
Anyone ever tried using A2DP WITHOUT switching to a different bluetooth stack?

2 bluetooth devices with the same name?

i need to connect 2 bluetooth devices to my polaris, one to use as a phone handsfree and the other as stereo speakers.......
no problem there you say, but, they will both be identical devices with the same device names. and both capable of both headset and wireless speaker profiles.
does anyone see any problems with this?
i have connected many different bluetoth devices at the same time but never 2 of the same device.
given the way the simplest things can go wrong i was hoping that someone here might have already done this and could tell me if it worked ok or was a disaster!
thanks

I don't think this is a problem for the pairing. I once used an identical PDA for a couple of weeks. I restored a backup of the old PDA on it, so it had the same name. I hoped it would be paired to all my BT devices, but it wasn't. I had to pair them all again. So I think there is more identification than only the name.

thanks that sounds good.
does anyone use both headset and wireless speakers over bluetooth?
i am hoping that the phone will go to the headset and all other audio (TomTom, Mp3) would go to the speakers....... has anyone had this working ok?

also does ayone have 2 of the same bluetooth device that they can assign different profiles to?
i am concerned that although i set 1 as headset and the other as speakers as they are the same device they may swap roles depending on which connects first
i dont know if this is an issue but if anyone is able to test this for me it would be a huge help

lol ok strike that! just found out from the manufacturer that although the dongle has the wireless stereo profile its only wired for mono!
so can anyone recomend a good Bluetooth stereo reciever

music through car bluetooth

I have bluetooth enabled handsfree in my car. Whenever I make a phone call the sound is routed through the car speakers and there's a microphone in my car...
My question is: is there a way to route music from my ppc to my car? I tried a lot of softwares (VJ Volubilis, BlueTooth Audio...) I think its routing to my car (on the ppc it says that its routed and I stop hearing the music), but nothing comes out of my car speakers...
(calling works fine)
any solutions, or is it a hardware thing thats missing in my car?
Thanks!!!!

Not sure if this will work but it is worth a shot (I'll try it myself later on)

Hey nir,
I went to the site and register but the program seems to be out of the beta 4 stage (it says it expired in October). Is yours still working? If it is, can you post the cab? Thanks.

oh.. maybe it's working because it was already installed on my device for a while.
mine works fine.. it's the same cab on the website.

thanks everyone!!
Well I tried them all and it seems its always the same problem... it connects to my car and the sound disappears from my ppc, but nothing comes out from my car.. on BTmusic it gives:
Status: enabled
Headset: connected
A2DP: off
And I tried everything to turn A2DP on.. but it always stays off (menu -> A2DP) , is that the problem?
I feel that my car recognizes only when a phone call comes in, but fro some reason is not transmitting the music from my ppc.
I have a 2006 BMW 525xi with idrive, my ppc is a tmobile wing, and i tried both s2p and the default music player.

In your bluetooth Partnership settings - Click Start, Settings, Connections, Bluetooth and and click on your car's bluetooth, Does it show both Wireless Stereo and Handsfree (are both boxes checked) if not make sure that Wireless stereo is checked) should work if it is. If you do not see wireless stereo and only handsfree - then you will not be able to stream music because your car's bluetooth is not able to stream the music, only calls. My new car's UConnect Bluetooth does not support wireless music streaming, only calls. But in my other car I have the Motorola T505 which can stream both Calls, (handsfree) and Music (Wireless stereo). In partnership settings I see only Handsfree and serial port for Uconnect and my Motorola shows both Handsfree and Wireless stereo. You may be out of luck trying to transmit music if you do not see Wireless stereo in the partnership settings (your car's bluetooth may not support it. If you see the (Wireless Stereo in partnership settings but it is not checked, then check it off and start enjoying wireless bluetooth music streaming.

thanks ...
that's what i thought also.. no i dont have wireless stereo option, i only have the handsfree...
I will ask this knowing that most likely the answer is "no":
anyway to fool the bluetooth to stream music through handsfree?

There might be a way, but I don't know how to myself. I don't know if the sound quality would be any good - Mono Vs. Stereo Sound Plus pitch no Base etc.. If so, you will probably want to explore other Options - MOTO T505 I use is great - If you have AUX jack - you can use that - There are other bluetooth devices as well capable. Good luck. If I see or hear anything else I will reply back to this tread or PM you

i've tried BTMusic 1 beta but when i try to start the program it says that i need .NET CF, but i do have NET CF 3.5 ! is that a rom issue or i need an earlier version of NET CF ? Somebody else with the same problem ?

It is a newer verson - Google it and download and install on your device. You probably only have version 2.0. It is easily found in this XDA site - Various Links - and on microsoft's web site

[Q] Issue with bluetooth earpiece Latest Vegan Tab flash

Getting a "Paired but not connected" issue with my bluetooth ear-piece and I've tried everything to get it to connect, even force closing wiping all the data from the bluetooth application and rebooting several times. I've only had this problem since switching from cyanogen mod to vegan tab (Love vegan tab btw) does anyone know some fixes or solutions?
Thanks in advance :3

come on :\ doesnt even one person have a suggestion?

I was able to pair my phone with the Vegan Beta 5.1 gTablet without issue...
I just bought a new headset and will try it and let you know...

Working fine for me as well but when I disconnect I have to re-boot to get audio over speakers on the GTAB

hmmm, thats really odd, maybe my headset itsself is being stupid. Thanks for the feedback guys.

I've found if you plug and unplug a regular wired headset into the headset jack, thst usually fixes the audio be muted on internal speakers.

bluetooth help
I am having the same problem. Tried 2 different headsets, netbook, and my moto droid - but everything says "paired but not connected". nothing works! please help

may be a direction for a fix; DEVs could you clarify for us
I found this in a post today by enigma0456:
More research finally revealed something. BlueGPS4droid at sourceforge not the market. So, the external gps was "paired but not connected" until there was an application (bluegps) to "connect" to. Once that was installed I turned on the bluetooth and it immediately saw the hollux remote gps receiver. Tested it with Maps and it worked beautifully. So theories:
1. If there isn't an app waiting to use the bluetooth device it will pair but not connect until something asks for it.
now I realize this has to deal with gps but as i understand all phone apks have been removed that can be and not lose functionality in order to save battery life in Vegan 5.1 so if the above quote is right then there is no app (phone.apk etc.) to ask for the use of the ear piece and thus the paired but not connected issue.
now some people have mentioned not having issue getting their BT headset to work and maybe this is because the headset offers another use in their programing like they are designed to work like headphones or something and then there would be and app to ask for them and so they connect
the ones that do not work on the other hand like mine are only designed for phone audio; ever notice that on your Droid cell that your headset will say connected to phone audio, well in our case if the phone.apk/s are not there then there is nothing asking to connect to it.
DEVs are there any ideas to get functionality back even it that means adding back the phone.apks--and is that possible to do with our re-flashing a rom like side installing it or an update.zip
Thanks

There is an app on the market, called "headset toggle widget" and that will do the trick and unmute your speakers

Possible workaround...
Don't know if this will help but, after I paired my BT headset with GTAB, I then paired it with another device (my phone) after which GTAB started giving me the paired but not connected message when I tried to connect back to the GTAB. What worked? Well, now before I select the headset device in GTAB's bluetooth device menu, I put the headset itself back into pairing mode. THEN, I select it in GTAB's bluetooth device menu and voilà, it connects. Downside, I have to put the headset into pairing mode everytime I want to connect it to GTAB. (Haven't bothered trying to unpair the headset with my phone yet to see if it makes a difference.) Hope it works at least as temp fix for ya.
