Remote listening - General Questions and Answers

Is there a software i can use to basically place my phone at a short distance (Eg 1 meter), use it as a microphone and hear the audio via a2dp on my headset ?
Basically I want to place my phone close to the sound box of my musical instrument, and hear it on my bluetooth headset in real time so that i can hear it while sitting in a loud environment.

Anyone ?

Playing music thru wired headset, incoming call forces play thru built-in speaker??

this is a major annoyance... I've had a Samsung i760 for a couple months now and have found it seems to have a serious design flaw.
I like to listen to music at work, through my phone using a wired headset (two way headset with mic). I work in a quiet office environment. I always set my ring to silent/vibrate while at work. If I'm listening to music, and happen to receive a call, the music will stop playing through the headset and will start playing through the built in speaker of the phone for all my coworkers and supervisor to hear.
The music would continue to play like this even after answering the call... I have to bring up the player and stop it manually. I was able to partially alleviate this by disabling the 'play in background' setting. With that, the music will still play through the external speaker briefly, roughly 3 seconds, before the player pauses the song. Which is still unacceptable.
I have tried TCPMP and Windows Media and had the same result.
Also, if I have the phone set to ring audibly, the ring is forced through the speaker as well, and the music I was listening to AND the ringtone will play at the same time for those 3 or so seconds.
what I'm hoping someone can help me with is a) a way to make ringtones play through the wired headset if possible, or b) at least keep the sound from being forced through the external speaker when the wired headset is connected and I recieve a call. As it stands, I either can't listen to music at work (a big part of why I bought the phone), or I have to turn the phone receiver off and risk missing calls. Either option sucks and is making consider another phone... though I don't know if this is a WM6 issue or an issue with this specfic phone.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
*bump* anyone?
any way thru the registry to disable the built in speaker alltogether while leaving the headphones operational?
On Acer s200, you can change the value of registry key HKLM\Software\Acer\Scenario\HeadsetIn to 1...
Maybe that can help...

How to trick BT headset to think its in a call?

My Bluetooth headset is very "special". It only reproduces the sounds from the phone when its in a call, and therefore typical bluetooth audio rerouting programs that only place the audio through to the headset doesn't work.
I tried dialling "#" from the headset and audio streamed through for a few seconds before it realised the call was disconnected and stopped the audio again, and therefore I know that it needs a call to be initiated before it streams the audio. Dialling numbers other than hash, however, stops the audio because the phone would think it is a valid number and proceed to dial, costing money and stopping the music.
I need something else that would trick the phone/bluetooth headset to think it is taking a call when it isn't, so that I can listen to music through it.
Anyone have any ideas?
I have the same problem. My cars bluetooth receiver only comes on when the phone says "call coming in". I would like to use PocketPlayers bluetooth headset feature to play music through my car stereo.

sound through a2dp headset only for calls?

Hi I have a new car stereo which pretends to be a a2dp headset, I use it for making hands free calls but my phone.
I also use my phone as my satnav and want to be able to hear directions but when connected to the stereo if i want to hear them i need to select bluetooth audio, but I also want to be able to listen to my radio/cd/mp3s.
Is there a way to tell my phone to use its speaker for all sound but the phone calls, in which case use the headset(stereo).
If i cant do this normally is there some software out that can do this?
If not is this possible to code myself I have some experience with wm development but nothing with regards to sound, I.e. can I listen for when a call is coming in and change sound modes?
Another option which will work just as well would be to enable both outpiuts at the same time is this possible?

[Q] How Does The Phone's Noise Cancelling Work???

Hi!
I noticed (wasn't really hard to) that calls made from cars using stock Hands Free systems dramatically lowers sound quality on the listener's end. That is totally common, even in high end cars, although in those cases it is (a little bit) less annoying because to better soundproofing, but generally issue remains the same: no noise cancelling. It kind of strikes me, how can a tiny bluetooth headset have that feature, and $100k car not have it.
I pair my Galaxy s5 with my Subaru car audio system to play music via car speakers, but making calls and repeating every word 5 times is an utter misery for both sides of the conversation. Using unpaired phone or bluetooth headsets like Jabra is the only way i can make calls from my car.
So:
The question is, if there is a way to use phone's noise cancelling feature (third party apps?) for the calls while paired via bluetooth with my car's Hands Free? Can my phone process sound from my car's mic?

thought about maybe getting a bluetooth headset?
Very Clever! Thank You!
My next question is: how can I pair 2 bluetooth devices to my phone at the same time, so I can make calls on the BT headset and listen to the music from phone on my car audio without switching between them...
Just to clarify...
I meant connected. I know I can pair multiple devices with one phone, but there can be only one active connection at a time, am I right?

Bluetooth speaker. Listening?

I was wondering if and how to use a Bluetooth speaker with mic a two way intercom (speaker and phone as each end)? I want to be able to listen in another room and be able to talk through the device also. Ideas? I currently have a small portable speaker with mic that I can stream audio from the phone to.
