Playing music through Mono Bluetooth Headset

I just bought a bluetooth headset today. Just a simple Mono one. I cant get my phone to play music through it for some reason. It will work fine for phone calls though. I can get it to play music through my laptop so I dont think the headset is incapable of playing music through it. Anyone try playing music through bluetooth yet?
Its this one here...

I'm not sure it can be done natively by the phone, I stumbled across an app which might be worth a try for you, I can't post links but if you search the market for BTmono you should find it, there's a free version on there.

What are the steps you take to play the music on the M100R?
In the HTC player you can choose which output device you want to use...
In Standard it is "HTC Sensation" - click on it when headset is connected and it should showup there...
M100R is capable of "Headset V1.1 (HSP)" bluetooth profile - so it should work...
- mwie -

Oh yes I found it! When playing music you hit menu, then go to select player and it will show you devices. Problem now is that when I select the bluetooth device nothing happens. I will select the device, click done, and then if I go back into that setting the phone is still selected. Not sure why its not letting me output through bluetooth :-/

Check the Bluetooth settings when connected - maybe you need to activate Audio streaming there...!?

Im checking the settings now and all I see are "Connect to phone audio" and that option is connected. Still cant get music through it for some reason :-(

+1 for BTmono. I'm a little biased though

Btmono works well. Just wish quality was a little better. Oh well! Any advantage to the paid app?

gingerbread car bluetooth bug, seeking confirmation from others

Since I updated from XXKB3 froyo 2.2.1 to GB 2.3.3 & later to 2.3.5 I found that Bluetooth is broken & I am not the only one but still needs confirmation from i9003 users on this.
Bluetooth is broken on Gb roms I test on 2 version but both were custom roms but my guess is that its the base GB rom which has this bug.
Car bluetooth does not connect fast enough
later I found that its trying to download /access phonebook which it never does.
on every connection it ask for permission to access to phonebook, if you allow it fails to connect, if you cancel then only it connects.
once connected you can stream music but sound drops every 10 sec & same happens to phone call sound.
I deleted & reset both devices & manually paired BT then downloaded the phonebook manually to car but now it hangs & shows downloading call history log & never finishes it.
I tried connecting to other bluetooth phones but that also fails, it connects but cant transfer files & remains hanged.
Due to this problem I cant use gps Sound navigation while driving, nor can I stream music nor I can use phone while driving. Need to report this bugs to developers to find some solution.
Those who have this phone can you please test bluetooth & confirm, please mention your FW when you report here.
Here are few link on google which I found having similar issues since GB update.

Updated Summary of these BT bugs
Car BT ask permission to access phone book at first pairing if you choose yes it never downloads teh contacts & hangs. After that every time I start BT, it ask permission to access phone book if given access it hangs over & over again.

if I switch off the car & take the key out (switching the radio completely off) then BT connection force reboots the phone automatically. To avoid this I have to manually switch the BT off then switch the engine off, next time I start the car I have to switch ON the BT once again.

As I said I am not the only one having this problem I have found many other having this same issue but for a change you are the only one who has no problem so I would like to know did you do something different after GB update?

Any DDKP2 rom user ??
Has the car bluetooth connection bug been sorted out in this rom or is it still the same problem?

I have stereo bluetooth handsfree. And I never have the problems with bluetooth.

The only difference I think car BT has is that it downloads/access to phone contacts & call history & that is the step where it hangs the BT.
Car BT has following feature.
I can actually call my contact using voice command (voice compatible BT only)
I can see history /last missed/dialed/received call on car BT screen without going to phone.
I can watch youtube/local SD card videos / live TV channels via 3g internet & the sound is connected to car speakers, its like a mini home theater in the car.
Using sound navigation with car speakers while playing /streaming music from phone, if the call comes I can take call by steering mounted controls or using Voice command (Vlingo "take the call"), in this case the navigation screen will go in background & music/sound automatically muted, as I finish the call all sound comes back, gps navigation back to the same screen as it was & this all happens me driving at 120 kmph on highway.
For me this is an important feature as I travel a lot & I am really frustrated with GB, I will try the DDKP2 as last if that also fails then I have no option but to revert to XXKB3 as it worked without any such problem, it had few bugs but those are now been modded by few developers.
I need GB as 2-3 of apps which I use will only work on GB but I don't thing using these apps are more important than using sound navigation & BT music streaming.

i also have the problem with the bluetooth it connects to another phones and computer....
but my phone is not connecting to my car's bluetooth to play songs... it shows " pairing declined " or "connection cannot be established"

@sirilpta
Delete the paired devices from car & phone both
now initiate BT pairing fresh
once paired > click to connect
i9003 will ask via notification saying car BT wants to access phone book
say no to it
now it will connect in 10 sec & you can stream music
trouble starts after 2 mins the sound will go off every 10 sec
go to car BT menu there you will see accessing phonebook or call history (That's the bug)
since you disallowed access to phonebook yet its trying to connect.

i tried to pair but it shows pairing declined

I had the same problem I repeat again you have to delete the device from car BT then reset car stereo to default setting only then it works.
Thats the only way I could to BT everything else failed.

I just found a temp solution, as long as screen is On the music streaming works fine so I have set it to 10 min & there was no interruption in streaming within those 10 mins. but this bug is making me seriously go back to XXKB3 if DDKP2 dont work.

I am told that BAM custom kernal V12 onwards the blue tooth bug has been sorted out but for that I will have to reflash a clean rom & flash the kernel, will report back once I do that next week.

Try using BCK Custom kernel by XDA_Bam, in that kernel bluetooth problems are resolved

Problem with Bluetooth Car kit

Hi, I'm not able to transfert the phonebook from the phone to the Bluetooth car kit. It seems to start transfert but never end. Whit the Sensation and the same car kit no problem.
Any idea to risolve?

Do you click and allow the prompt on the phone to allow the phonebook connection to start, you only get this prompt the first time the devices connect after pairing. You may need to delete the pairing information and start again to see this prompt again!

Yes, I allow the transfer of phone book just after pairing and I see the indication "phone book transfer" on display of car systems but it never ends and no contact is transfered to systems car. With same procedure the sensation works perfectly. Probably there is something on bluetooh 4.0 that is different from 3.0 implemented on Sensation. Very strange because BT 4.0 is mainly focused on energy saving and should be compatibile with previous release.
Anyone has the same issue?

Same ty[e of problem with BT Car stereo
I can't even get my One to see my Sony BT car stereo- HTC diesre was fine and streamed music and calls perfectly.
Have googled aroudn this issue but can't seem to find a good answer.

Interesting cause I have Sony DSX-S300BTX myself. if Bluetooth doesn't work on this, I will buy Galaxy Nexus instead. I stream music in my car most of the time.

I had a quite similar issue with a Seat Altea car. It was starting the sync, and arriving at 160 contacts it just hang.
I solved it by making some cleanup and by selecting only the required address book in thé htc contact list...

possible to tweak Bluetooth connect settings??

Hello --
Anyone aware of MOD and/or app that would allow user to tweak Bluetooth connectivity settings for ONE_S/Ville?
my ONE_S disassociates with car Bluetooth every 30 seconds, then reconnects, all day long. My previous FOUR Android HTC phones never experienced this problem. It's annoying as all hell
the problem drove me root my ONE_S with sole purpose of trying new TMOUS RADIO. This did not solve the problem.
currently, ONE_S running LeeDroid v2.1 with latest TMOUS radio.
same Bluetooth problem with car audio before and after root. Plantronics Voyager Pro headset at home works fine.
any suggestions would be appreciated.
Note: I have contacted dealer service to see if software update available for auto stero.

Check out a2dp volume in the market. It might help...

To the OP, there are other threads on this. Unpair your device from the Car, on the H1S go to advanced Bluetooth settings and turn off MAP, now repair and reconnect to the car ... fixed?

v looked in the advanced settings and can't see the MAP option. What is it exactly?

[Q] HTC ONE S MONO Stero Problem

After upgrading my HTC One S (S3) Android to 4.1.1 I am experiencing a problem with music players (either Poweramp/google play or default music player) goes mono after phone connection.
To reproduce:
1. Start music playing and enjoy stereo separation.
2. Call somebody or let somebody call.
3. Answer the call and hang-up.
4. Play music again and notice that there is no more stereo separation.
Actually, it is not a mono but left channel playing in both channels.
From now, only rebooting helps.
I was checking this issue with Beats Audio either turned off or on. Also checked it after two hard resets and on different headsets.

I can confirm this issue. I've also tryed all the stuff mentioned before too. nothing helped. there is no update for the one s anymore. any ideas are welcome.
p.s.: did you contact htc about this issue? I'll do that and report when I get an answer, hopefully in a near future.
