Alright. Here's my new project, integrating CoStar Technologies' BlueSTAR 2010 module into my 2008 Pontiac G8 GT to work with my Nexus One.
http://www.costartech.com/pb/products/bluestar.html
I was going to wait for the car dock but what could be better than pushing a button on my steering wheel/rear view mirror and using the voice search function of the Nexus One? Not sure if I'll get system wide voice search, I kind of expect it to only work with the voice dialing functions of the phone but either way I'm really looking forward to it. From my understanding the A2DP streaming isn't fully functional yet but that will be really sweet once they get that part implemented. I'll keep everyone updated with how it goes and also provide some pics and videos. These devices are supposed to work in all 2002 & up GM vehicles that have OnStar.
I am getting ready to order one too for my G8, gonna use it with the G2.
From what I see on their twitter posting, they are beta testing writing the caller ID to the DIC, so might get that soon as an update.
Hope it works as well as advertised.
Any updates on these projects? Interested for my Impala
I gilot mine and installed it. Only works with built in voice dialer from HTC. Looks like the voice search app does not publish itself as Bluetooth.
The device works great but the voice dialer can be finicky.
Have not found a solution yet, but can tell you Vlingo does not work well through bluetooth.

good luck...............
They released an update. It now has caller ID on the DIC.
Now if only the voice dialer worked better on the G2

Works decently in my g8, recently switched to an evo and still works great with cm7, a2dp soon
I am pretty sure the problem is the phone. The G2 uses HTC's default voice dialer instead of Google's voice control, and it is just not as accurate.
Will the audio work through the bluetooth to the stereo to listen to music?
No..
the Onstar integration is calling only.. the module has a 1/8" jack thatallow you to plug into an aux port.
Given that there is no bluetooth stereo streaming that remotely sounds as good as a wire, its better to connect the phone w a cable..

I have a Plantronics 925 and Jawbone Icon. Neither support A2DP so I cannot listen to music or view a video through them unless I am on a call. On a jailbroken iPhone there is a little tweak that you can basically trick the bluetooth headset and it will play sounds/music/videos/etc through the headset without you having to be on a call.
I know that if a jailbroken iPhone can have this neat tweak/app then of course the powerful Android can too! . What do you guys think?
Update: Jawbone Icon now has A2DP thanks to a update released by Aliph. Thanks thatroots for the tip.
I would love to know this also.
U can update your Icon . new firmware supports ad2p.....works great on my N1

Can you explain your post, i don't quite understand it.

Wow I had no idea!!! Thank you so much!!!. I am in the MyTalk beta and they didn't even send me a email letting me know it was available... nor did I see it on any tech blog or news site. Updating now!!!
It works brilliantly on my Nexus! and I thought the whole "Appstore" for a bluetooth was gimmicky, boy was I wrong. Streaming Slacker Radio to it now and is working without a single hiccup.
There still has to be a way to this for Non-A2DP bluetooth's though.
Don't know if this is the right place to post this, so move it if it's not.
I have a Desire HD with MIUI and i'm looking for an app that supports A2DP. I think the stock HTC Sense player supports it, but i'm not sure. But i can't use it now since, well, MIUI. I've searched for A2DP on the Market, but didn't find anything special.
So does anyone have some ideas on how i can get this to work?
Thanks in advance
I think you are looking for "mort player"
The built in Android music app should work just fine...as well as apps like WinAmp... I can't imaging any media app now days that wouldn't.
I have HD bluetooth stereo headphones and they work just fine using any media app.
Thanks Trying to connect to the car stereo. Gonna try Mort Player and some other ones.

AD2P isn't something that is based on the music player being used. It is based on the device hardware. If their bluetooth hardware supports it, then it will work. The only aspect of AD2P that I believe is controlled with the software are the playback controls.
If you are hooking up to your car audio, it might have to do with the car's bluetooth hardware/software. Sometimes you can take your car to the dealer and they can install software/driver updates for your car's bluetooth. May try calling them and seeing if there is an update for your car.
I have the Desire HD, and it supports A2DP. I'm trying to connect it to Pioneer FH-P80BT (Clicky) which supports Bluetooth audio aka A2DP.
I'm running MIUI btw.
Then in theory it should work just fine. If it simply won't work no matter what you try with your phone...then contact the dealer and see if there is an update for your car's audio software.
I'll test it further tomorrow and see if it works
I thank you all for your replies
And yes, i'll press the thanks button when i'm around a computer

Hello ppl, sorry to revisit this again, but I have Miui on my DHD with a Motorola HT820. For some reason the BT audio for call work great, but audio streaming will start and then drop out (no sound, but the music player is still going), then suddenly the BT connection will drop. Any ideas?
On the Sense 3.0 this function works fine. Just to make sure its not the headphones, I paired it with my Iphone 4 and that too worked flawlessly. Could there be a bug related to the Miui port for DHD?
Thanks for any help
Since this is MIUI related it might be better to ask in a MIUI thread

Since OneNote stops recording when the screen is locked I need an app that can record long lectures while the phone is locked.
I've tried a few but want to know if anyone has found a good one. I don't care how much it costs
I have found rapid recorder to work well. I tried a few others but RR works and the screen can lock and it still records. Other apps distort the audio when you record for more than 8 minutes. Getting the audio file onto a computer is another story. Some apps use dropbox transfer, but that is a hit or miss at times. Never worked for me TBH
pocket recorder seems pretty good,I'm using the free version...
The UI is pretty awesome and the app is mango compatible.
I use Voice Memos Lite, works great!
Update (4/11/2017): Updated the app to use the Superpowered audio library. Performance is greatly improved. Lag is pretty much gone.
This was my first app and recently just overhauled it with a lot of the updates I had been doing to Wave Control. I've decided to take this out of incubation in the device specific forums and put it fully out there. All feedback is appreciated!
Around Sound allows you to listen to music, watch movies, or play games and still be aware of your surroundings. It's meant for when you're using sound isolating earbuds like Shure or others that are basically earplugs so you have no idea what's going on around you.
It uses the mic on your headset or phone to listen around you. You set how loud a noise needs to be to trigger it. When a loud sound is detected, it pauses your music or movie for a timeout period. During this time, it feeds the outside sound through to your headphones so you can hear what's going on. After the timeout period it then resumes playback.
With games, you can use the non-pause mode which will overlay the outside sounds on top of the current audio. Usually the game audio will lower itself during this time. I would really like for games to support the pause feature. I've reached out to some developers but need everyone's help to request the feature be added to their favorite games.
Play Store Link:
Free Version
Some known issues:
1. Audio lag - when the outside sound is fed through there's about a 500ms delay. It's a known issue with Android. It's rumored to have been fixed in Jelly Bean (or there's some low level API's available to fix it) but I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. Finally fixed! Practically realtime now!
2. Bluetooth Mic Option - Currently only works with mono headsets and not the AD2P kind, adds lag
Some use cases:
- At the office: pause your music automatically when someone is trying to get your attention
- At home: Don't miss door slams, children crying, your dog barking, or other warning signs
- At the airport: Relax at the gate and have your music or movie pause when the gate announcements start
- Anywhere relatively quiet where you want to know if something happens around you
Permissions Needed:
Network Communications: Full Internet Access (For Ad Supported Version)
Phone Calls: Read Phone status (shuts off the audio processing during calls)
Hardware Controls: Audio Settings, Record Audio (to use the microphone, no audio is ever stored)
Coarse Location(Not GPS): For Ad Supported Version
Write External Storage: For Ad Supported Version
Billing: For in app upgrades
Bluetooth: For Bluetooth mic feature
Broadcast Sticky: For Bluetooth mic feature
Limitations:
-For Pause Music Mode: You can't be in a really loud environment otherwise the microphone input will be maxed out and there is no way to detect a louder sound. Use Street Mode instead
Developed on a Samsung Galaxy S7
I played with this a bit in a few of its earlier incarnations and I have to compliment you on the app. One thing I've wondered -- instead of muting the underlying app, would it be possible to play what the microphone picks up over the top of whatever being played?

i guees that is not possible ...hardware limitations
anyway if it is...would be a great addition
I hope someone can explain this to me. I'm not doubting it's a hardware limitation, I just can't understand what sort of hardware limitation it might be.

Yeah, it's possible. If you uncheck pause mode, it'll play over the other app. The way it's setup now, depending on the playing app, the music/movie might dip in volume. Alternatively there's Street Mode in the Pro Version that will play all sound above the trigger on top of your music/movie.

Woo hoo! Cool, thanks! Pro, here I come.
Any idea when you think you might be able to look into that lower latency JB API?

This is so genius! Installing now!
I bought Pro this morning and used it on my walk. Worked like a charm!
It was pretty bright out and my screen couldn't brighten enough to let me see the trigger slider. A suggestion: how about adding +5 and -5 buttons so I can adjust the trigger level without having to see the slider? I don't mean remove the slider, I mean add +5 and -5 buttons.
Got the pro just to support the Dev. Great idea and great work. Keep it up man!

Sounds perfect....
i saw this while ago and was going to use it but deleted it by accident and than forgot about it this has reignited me to use it now ill download it later.
any news on the bluetooth issue as i have bluetooth headphones and there not mono and was wondering if it work well or not with em?
Wow...this is great. Thank you.
I like the sound of this (No pun intended) but I've only got bluetooth stereo headphones with a mic. so I'll have to wait until it supports them.
App2SD would be nice ...

I don't have a set to test it with but I've gotten mixed feedback. Some stereo ones do work and some don't. Or.. it may be a particular phone's bluetooth implementation since it seems more like a bug in Android than a headset specific issue.
Please give it a try and let me know if it works!
Will this save me if I end up in the middle of a shoot out, and I have in noise canceling headphones? As bizarre as that sounds... I'm paranoid lol

Possibly... but I make no guarantees

So after un-intentionally (really, I swear!) ignoring my girlfriend while playing a game, I realized... I could use Around Sound with games.
So far the non-pause mode works pretty well with the games I play. I'm reaching out to some other developers to include the ability to pause when asked by Around Sound.
I need people's help to request their favorite game dev's to support auto-pause with Around Sound
So I need to record a track, and I have a 3.5mm splitter plugged into my Droid Turbo and the input and headphones connected to the splitter. Sound comes in and out just fine, I can record and playback without any problems, but I cannot find and Android app that has a good monitoring feature; meaning while recording the phone simultaneously outputs everything it inputs, allowing me to listen to myself through the headphones while recording. I say a good monitoring feature because there is one app, Miidio Recorder, which claims this feature, but has extremely high latency and almost a whole second of lag. There are many ios apps that I have personally used which can accomplish this perfectly, but I cannot find one single Android app.
The apps I have tried so far are:
Miidio recorder
Fl studio mobile
Caustic 3
Pocket studio
At least 5 or 6 different audio recording apps.
If anyone knows of or can code a simple app that does this I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
[EDIT] this is my first post so if I'm supposed to like add anything or something please lmk
Wow, almost 5 months, no reply. leaving a reply because I too would like to know the answer. Is it an Android issue or just plane dislike of developers for Android owners??
