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.

BT ouput on handsfree

Hi Everyone,
I had a strange thing happen to me in the car the other day and I was wondering if anyone had any views on it. As my phone linked up to the cars BT hands free kit the radio cut out as if I was making a call.
To get the radio on I had to turn BT off on the phone.
Interestingly enough when this happened I had Audio manager running. And right enough I played a track and it came out on the cars speakers. This would be quite useful only I havent managed to repeat it yet.
Certainly I get a bit of music in the 'gaps' when I make a call if audio manager is running but that is it.
Cheers,
Andy
!!! come on guys !!!! someone give me some feedback !!!

BUMP
Anyone ? Please ...

i believe theres is a program called bttoggle or btcicle, which routes audio to bluetooth on running it, i use it to route audio thru my bt headset once in a while, a simple search for bttoggle or something like that should sort it, i wonder if i can upload it here... mods if this file is not allowed please delete...
oh the way i use it is i just kept those files on my storage card and put a shortcut for the btaudiotoggle in the programs folder...thats it..click to turn on audio to bluetooth, click again to turn off..

You might want to check if your Wizard is paired with the car BT using A2DP in addition to handsfree mode. If so, that could explain it -- to fix it, just turn off the A2DP pairing on the Wizard, then re-establish the connection when you want to use the Wizard as an audio player.

No A2DP
Nah just a parrot hands free kit in the car. just wanted to be able to play through it as well as making phone calls.

Bluetooth Handsfree Connected, but no sound

Hi if someone can help me it would be much appreciated. I just bought a Touch Pro and everything is working fine....except for one really annoying issue.
Whenever I connect my bluetooth to a headset, it shows connected but no sound is coming out. The sound is muted. when connected to my Audi, I see that the phone has bars (shows connected and I can dial the phone), but when I make a call no sound. Similarly on my SE HBH-DS970 headset. The A2DP works perfectly, but when I make a call nothing.....I've searched google and through XDA and no solution.
Can someone suggest a solution? I've soft/hard reset the device already. If I should change Radio ROM which one would someone suggest that's stable? Thanks

If no one else has this problem, can anyone at least suggest to me if this sounds like a Hardware or software issue? If hardware I will return it, but if software I will try to find a solution. Like I said the phone connects to BT, but I just can't get handsfree to work. File transfers and A2DP work. Thanks

Just flashed to UK ROM and still no help....I've read some people having the same problems over at the Diamond thread...I'm the only one answering my own thread here hahaha....if anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Hi,
I occasionally had such an issue with my Parrot CK3100, but I did not get the time yet to investigate further. After the call was connected I did not hear anything, and I am not sure whether the other party could hear me.
On another day, the handsfree was working perfectly OK.
Cheers
Michael

Thanks for replying Michael....I'm at a loss and I tried all the suggestions posted. I hope it's a software issue...I'm going to buy a bluetooth headset tomorrow and see if that works. It's not the end of the world, but annoying since all my ppc, s60, BB, and UIQ phones prior to the TP have not had any such issues.
Do you think it's a software issue?

have you tried playing music?

Yes.....A2DP works perfectly....no problems whatsoever with file transfers either....I'm guessing either it's a software problem or the phone has a new bluetooth software that's not agreeing with my older SE headset, but the car is another issue. The Car is 2007 and I'm sure the Bluetooth software is not that old. I've tried Euro WWE and Asian WWE ROM and no go.....I'm going to try the Cingular ROM and see what happens.

Just another quick update....I tried 2 other different bluetooth headsets and still the same problem... for some reason the sound for handsfree will not come through...anyone know of registry hack possibly that will allow sound to come through?

May not be entirely related to your problem...
Mine is worst...whenever I have paired my Jabra or iTech BT headset, when the phone rings, 8/10 times the phone will auto pickup (and no I did not setup the phone to auto pickup) and the it will NOT connect to the bluetooth. Instead it will be just like an auto pickup and the sound will come thru the phone headset. This is driving me nuts!!!!

[Q] Nexus S bluetooth problems

Hey guys
Strange issue here. I paired my phone with my car through Bluetooth to make and receive calls using the car audio system. It works well.
However, if I fire Google Navigation, I can't here the spoken instructions through either the phone speaker or the car speakers.
I was not expecting navigation audio to be routed through Bluetooth audio, but I did expect the navigation instructions to come out of the phone speaker, as it does on the nexus one or the vibrant both running Android 2.2.
Is anybody else having this issue?
Thanks

did you flash a new kernel or anything because the kernel in the dev thread is known to break bluetooth
if it does this stock out of the box try doing a system restore and then take it back if its still acting up because bluetooth should turn on

yea i used the pkg one that had SU etc on it. Suppose Ill have to flash back to stock arg.

just so peeps know with the bt issue flashing this fixed

Bluetooth doesn't stream audio to car - what's your experience
I've got a Ford Edge with the new Ford MyTouch/Sync system.
The Nexus S connects to the Bluetooth just fine; makes and receives calls perfectly. It will also connect to the Bluetooth Audio Stream for music playback, but won't play the audio over the car's speakers. Also, sometimes it connects, holds the connection for just a few seconds and then disconnects. My SGS and Nexus One work as expected, as does the iPhone, so it doesn't appear to be an issue with the car.
Seems like a bug in the NS to me.
I'm curious if others are streaming audio/music to their auto's BT system without issues?
It would be especially nice to know what anyone else with a new Ford/Lincoln is experiencing, but I'd also like to compile a list of what cars work and what don't.
I'm going to have to find some other BT device that I can test the stream on to see if my phone works with it or not. Maybe my Nexus One dock? I've never used that to stream audio even with the Nexus One.
In terms of troubleshooting my problem, I've already rebooted the phone and the car, un-paired and re-paired the phone with the car.

I've got a Mazda RX8 R3 and the NS will pair with the in-built car BT but drops the connection after a few minutes. It then refuses to connect again unless I re-pair, then a few minutes later it drops and we're back to square one.
The car's in-built BT worked fine with my HTC Desire, Hero, iPhone 3G and Blackberry 9700 so I'm guessing the Nexus S has a Bluetooth issue.

Mine works fine on my aftermarket Sony receiver.

having issues with bluetooth audio too, stream keeps breaking every now and then. Any fixes?

I've only streamed to the car stereo and had no issues. The phone is only about 10cms away.
Haven't tried my BT headphones yet, maybe range is the issue.
*On original ROM.

tried placing the phone right next the the BT reciever and same problem. Only tried this once, maybe I'll try rebooting the phone.

no problem here
using Bionix 1.2

You're lucky, I can't even get BT music streaming to work with my car. No other BT devices to check with besides my Nexus One dock, which has no speakers.
BT works great for the phone, though, to make and receive calls.

Problem with Bluetooth
I cant get to work bluetooth on Nexus S.
When i enable it and try to send something from SGS to Nexus S it says me "This tranfer was canceled by the user" (Nexus S)
SGS says "Remote device rejected your request"
When i try send something from Nexus S, but use not function Send, i use function Bluetooth - it says me "The application Bluetooth Share (process com.android.bluetooth) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
I tried factory reset, wipe cache, tried flash any other roms, but got NOTHING helpt me. I have this problem on 2 phones (2xNS).
Can someone give me files of BlueTooth share? (com.android.bluetooth)

That's an interesting problem you have. Mine did the same thing transfering from my computer to my NS. I just tried it again when I read your post (to make completely sure what the error was) and it has automagically fixed its self.

Well, seems i need a file \system\app\bluetooth.apk

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

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...

Me too with the built in bluetooth system in my Mitsubishi. Old HTC legend worked without any issues.
Any further solutions?
Thanks.
