There was an app that i saw in the market now i can't find it
The only one I have found is Super BT Mono Froyo. There is a free version limited to 5 days and a $5.99 version.
It also has the added benefit of using your bluetooth headset to record audio for videos.
You'll want to press "Turn off Super" and then kill it with a task manager or force stop before disconnecting your headset/disabling bluetooth. Or else your phone will reset.
Also, sometimes the audio will revert back to the phone's speaker after a call. Just open the app again, turn it off and then back on.
Wish there was a better app out there that did this.
Trying it out tomorrow thanks

Mine just does it....
I think you need a BT headset with A2DP support, then when you connect to the phone, it will say "Connected to phone and media audio."
Mine will play music, ringtones, text-to-speech, through my headset, all stock.

Is there anyway to fix the Bluetooth streaming? I hoped maybe another audio app would be more streamlined than the one that comes preloaded with the phone, but they don't allow me to stream music through bluetooth. Right now my phone sucks at streaming music, even when I close every other app open. My last phone never had any problems at all with A2DP, but I can't get this one to play music at the same level which is a major buzz kill. If no fixes are known, is it reasonable to think that this situation might be alleviated with the Froyo update?
I'm having the same problem, and it's a deal breaker for me. I need the bluetooth A2DP to work. This same headset worked on my Fuze for over a year. When I use the headset on the Captivate, the sound starts and after a minute it fades out to nothing. I've tried Dogg Catcher and the default player.
I dont know...I got a blueant Q1 when I bought the phone and I've no issues using mortplayer, default video player, pandora and radiotime over it.
I did have one problem, when i first connected it, my bluetooth was connected as a single bluetooth. I disconnected and unpaired, then repaired and instead of the phone icon next to my bluetooth device in settings I now have a headset icon. So any sound whatsoever that comes over the phone from 'tap' sounds to games to music comes over my blueant....
Main thing I had to do was unpair and repair to make sure I had headphones icon next to my bluetooth device in Settings-wireless and network-bluetooth settings
I am hoping we can get better sound quality with Froyo. My Old Tilt sounded better than this.
I figured it out. My headset is a Jabra 8010. Factory default on the headset fixed it. First I unpaired it from the phone, just for good measure. Turned off the media player, turned off the bluetooth signal and headset. Turned the headset, defaulted it, then turned on the phone's bluetooth, then the player. Not sure if all that was needed but, it's working.
And the sound is much 'richer' than when it was paired with my Fuze.
What the hell is going on, i have stereo bluetooths that only sometimes work, the audio just will not route to them all the time, under the check marks it never keeps media checked?
What music player app are you using? I've found that I have to connect the stereo bluetooth headset first before opening the app (I'm using Cubed '3') for it to play through the headset consistently. If I have the app open already, I sometimes have to exit the app through a task manager first. Then connect the headset and open the app. Hope that helps.
im not using any programs just the built in music player and video player
I got the stock music player to work only after I figured out how to get my head unit to 'Forget' my other phone. It was more an issue with the hardware I was trying to stream to. What are you streaming to, and what area are looking in to see these checkmarks? I don't see anything like that in the bluetooth settings...
Here's my issue... I have a kensington bluetooth headset that pairs as both phone and media headset. If I'm playing mp3s and receive a call, it'll pause the player and answer the call. After I hung up, the music player will continue to play the music, but I stop hearing anything from the headset, even when the phone still shows that it's paired and functioning.
I've tried different music players and they all had the same problem.
I tried dialing a number out in the middle and hang up before anyone answers, and that works as the music will pick up after. The problem seems to only occur if a successful phone connection is made.
I don't think it's a problem with the headset because it used to work fine when I had my iphone 3G. And the music player will continue to play if I don't pair it with my headset.
Could someone else test this and report your findings?
I have the saame problem when connecting via bluetooth to my car stereo... I have to shut the bluetooth off on the stereo and turn it back on before it will work again... the control from the stereo will work but no audio comes from the phone or stereo

Same here, player keeps going but I don't get any sound out of my headphones. Have to toggle bluetooth off/on in order for it to work again.
Anyone have suggestions on how to resolve this?

I found that it has to do with the stock rom. I flashed the Desire Z rom and it resumes fine... Odd they didn't correct this in a OTA.

Cm6.1 breaks bluetooth...

I'm now on CM RC2, and yesterday I received a call while driving on bluetooth and the music resumed after the call... so I guess it's fixed!
I've been having an issue with the media audio streaming to Bluetooth on the Blaze, which I did not have on my previous phone (Optimus). I pair with a Soundfly View in my car, and use the app BeyondPod to listed to podcasts. On a "fresh" Blaze, the audio will begin to play/stream for a split second, and then stop (though the podcast will continue to "play" or advance on the phone). I can occasionally get it to do it again by clicking play, but never for more than that split second.
Through experimenting, I noticed that phone audio seems to be fine, as well as audio on the Music player. What I've found, consistently, when this happens, if I start the Music player, start playing some audio then pause it, then go back to BeyondPod, it streams fine. At least for a time, though I've yet to figure out exactly what "resets" this workaround. But when I'm unable to play, I have to redo this Music player trick to play the podcasts.
Any clue what is going on here, and any permanent fix?
Bluetooth streaming... I have been doing this for a few years using a slightly different method that I'll share here in hopes it might help. I know this is kinda unrelated to your app, but this might be a fix.
Connect any bluetooth headset (I use my PS3 headset)
Download an app called BTmono (its free and a very simple interface, on/off)
Press the on button
Now any sound you would of heard out of your phone speaker you hear on your headset. This lets you listen to music, audio books, videos, or whatever on your headset. When you are tired of it, make sure to press the off button on BTmono to go back to normal. Hopefully this will help or at least provide a temp fix for now. My boss just thinks I like to wear mine all the time, he has no clue I am jamming dubstep and listening to audio books all night
Well, even should that work, it's really the same solution...using another app to force the streaming which should be happening automatically if you're connected with the right BT profile.
I did forget to mention that I do use A2DP volume, which launches an app (BeyondPod) and adjusts the volume when BT is connected. I also used it on my old phone, so I doubt it's related, but...
Nobody else has any problems with Bluetooth from other apps? It's just me???
Has anyone successfully managed to get the phone to stream music via Bluetooth. I've tried my sound bar, Moto S11's, cars, trucks, SUVs with no luck. I can take calls on all, but no music via bluetooth streaming.
Do it everyday, with both my car stereo for calls and music and also in house with small bt speaker in my kitchen.
Never had an issue with connection once

I do it everyday as well. Listen to music and podcasts over LG Tone+, and it works in my car with Ford Sync too. The volume is jacked when using it with a stereo headset but that's another issue.

Used it in my car several times. Under the Bluetooth settings for the device your connected to, make sure its checked to use a media device.
Do this everyday as well. I connect to my Mazda 3's stereo as well as Bluetooth speakers at home without a single hitch.
Connecting is not the problem. Phone connects fine. All my cars recognize the connection because I can make calls from my cars. I get my calls too. I just can't stream music to my head units. Works fine with my HTC One call and streaming. Just can't get the streaming to work.
I have a budget JVC head unit for my car, and it always drops the signal. (Has done it with the One, GNex, iPhone...)
While the phone is "connected" toggle the source on the Bluetooth receiver, meaning - switch it to AUX, then leave it for a couple seconds, switch it back to Bluetooth and see if that helps. Also when there is music playing, crank up the volume on the phone (volume rocker) because there is a separate volume level for Bluetooth sound versus ringtone volume.
Hope this helps in some way

Ahhhh, your car may not support the media profile, just phone.

Nope. They all support it. My HTC One streams music no problem. I've resetted the phone multiple times and now my Bluetooth file exchange is not working. I'm going to have to RMA it. Which sucks.

In the Bluetooth settings for your car, so you have the box ticked for streaming music? There are two boxes for mine in the seeing profile for my car ... handle voice calls and music stream.
I have switched off voice calls for my Bluetooth speaker in house using the profile settings for that device
