Android Phone = Bluetooth Client (sink) - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Is there any way to use my android phone (htc sapphire / magic) as bluetooth a2dp client / sink?
I don't want to use a2dp to stream the sound from the phone (server) to a headset (client), instead i want to use my notebook (server) to stream the sound right to my phone (client) as i could connect my headphones and use it as awesome bluetooth headphones which are quite expensive
does anybody know how it might work?
thanks a lot

Blue tooth head set - but not for phone?

Is it possible to use a bluetooth headset for ALL audion not just the phone? I already use Pocket Skype but I want to be able to use my bluetooth headset - since it doesn't consider the Skype to be a phone call - how can I make it use the headset for all sounds produced by the device?
All help and advice appreciated. All good advice and help appreciated more. All useful advice and help... ah, now we're talking!
M
think people have been able to get headsets working for normal audio using the broadcom or vidcomm bluetooth stack insted of the ms one
but it also seems that those bluetooth stacks dont support the headset profile so people cant use their headset for phoning anymore
Interesting catch 22 - phone bluetooth or other sounds bluetooth - but not all sounds bluetooth.
Isn't it silly things like this that make a great device irritating?!(Rhetorical)
yes it's silly
guess it comes down to ms not liking bluetooth which they dident invent themselfs so their stack is kinda thin
not sure what vidcomm and the rests's excuse is
i personaly bougth the bluetake iPhono headset which have a dongle which makes it possible for me to use my headset to work with both
phone and music

If what you say is correct, then there is a bit of a conundrum. The telephone operates via the bluetooth stack - so how does the gps receiver connect? There is apparently a way for the PC element of the device to use bluetooth, so why not audio?
I think using an external Btooth transmitter id a bit OTT. This is a software fix requirement.

Hi, I am thinking to buy the Bletake Bluetooth I-Phono BT420Ex + BT430EX with my Qtek 2020 / Xda II, And I want to know it will work properly... my ROM it´s 2.20CHS.
And if yours answer it´s positive, how?
You connet the audio dongle to the output of the pda and the headset with the pda by BT?
Thanks
yes as bluetooth headset it's supported
and the xda dont have to support the dongle
as far as the xda see it the dongle is just a wired headset
the dongle take care of everything wireless
heck if you want you can connect the dongle to something else
and still have it as bluetooth headset for the xda at the same time
when you get a call the headset disable the audio from the dongle and act as a normal bluetooth headset
Hi,
according to this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=245461#245461 , I assume that you have this bt headphone and you have used it with satisfactory results...
Now, I still have a few doubts :
1) Do you connect the dongle to the pda and use it to listen music?
2) You use the bt manager of the pda as a handsfree?
3) Or do you use the dongle with the pda to both listen to music, and talk on the phone?
4) Or do you never use the dongle at all...?
5) Did you upgrade the bt manager of the pda? If this is true, where can I do it in the forum?
Thanks for all...
1 yes
2 yes
3 only needed when i listen to music
i just use bluetooth tools
and the org ms bluetooth stack
if one have a bluetooth stack which support a2dp
the dongle is not needed at all
Thanks!!
Many thanks for your patient and reply.

Get yourself an A2dp headset. Pair it to your device and you're done.

I paired them and I started Media Player. But no sound in headset.

I have a BlueTrek G2 bluetooth-headset. I think I must install first a special driver (widcomm??) to hear music through this type of device.

No, you should not have to do this. A2DP works really well out of the box, I've paired it to 3 different A2DP devices issues. Do you have MS VoiceCommand installed? I have had conflicts with MS VoiceCommand and A2DP where after using VC no sound comes out from A2DP, but I haven't had the time to play around and figure what prompts the issue as it doesn't happen consistently.
EDIT: It wasn't MS VoiceCommand that was causing my issues. It was having the phone on vibrate. That stops sound from coming over A2DP, as does pressing the volume down button (duh, stupid me).
I just paired it, and it worked (Jabra BT620s.) Make sure you check the correct box for what feature to use when pairing.
does it work at samsung wep210 any setting need to change?
Hmmm... I can not make it work with my car stereo (Pioneer DEH-P75BT).
Anyone succeded in making it work with Pioneer car stereo DEH series?
P75BT just sits there and waits for connection, even if it is already connected and functional as handsfree device...

Handsfree and A2DP are two different things. The Bluetooth Handsfree profile is intended for making phone calls (speak). That's your old school lousy quality mono headset. The A2DP profile on the other hand has decent quality stereo streaming but is only supported by newer devices.
Are you sure your Pioneer supports the 'real' A2DP? And if it supports both, Handsfree and A2DP, make sure you select the right service when connecting.
Hmmm... here's quote from device's brochure:
Make calls and stream music via your Bluetooth CD Tuner - the DEH-P75BT supports both handsfree and audio profiles from your mobile phone.
But, good question is does music streaming support real A2DP... Wireless stereo might not be A2DP compatible...

Odd Concept- Using a phone as a BT headest for a computer.. With a wired headset.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm looking for. I lost my BT headset I used for online gaming, yet I have a perfectly fine Fuze that works well with my Plantronics headset that I use for my xbox.
Is it possible to use the fuze as a rx/tx passthrough unit for a wired headset?
Basically:
Wired headset > Fuze with Bluetooth turned on > Fuze synched to computer with bluetooth > Chatting with wired headset through the Fuze's bluetooth in online games.
Not odd at all
I would also love thing like this
I think if the bluetooth software on the computer
support audio gateway
and the x1 show up as supporting audio gateway bluetooth profile
when one bound it
then one can pick the x1 as soundcard to be used
in audio settings in control panel in pc windows
and it should work
Well I am using Bluesoleil on my laptop with Bluetooth v1.2 which actually connects well even to my A2DP dongle with full stereo sound even if it is not v2. But when I browse the services of my Raphael, the comp shows only Dial-Up Networking, Object Push and PAN... no Advanced Audio or Headset. Maybe I would need to configure the raphael somehow?

After doing some research, it would definitely have to be added in by way of some third party app. There are only two or three phones out there that support this. Essentially, a deal was made to where phone manufactures wouldn't include the Advanced Audio or Headset profile in their phones.
I don't see why someone couldn't make a program for this though.
I have been looking to do this with other HTCs for more than a year.
So far I can only say it's not possible as it's not supported by the WM BT stack.

How to make WiMo my laptop headset?

Hy All, I'm looking for a driver or bluetooth application that helps me make my Windows Mobile my headset from laptop speakers.
I know that is possible to use Stereo Headset from WiMo to stream audio over bluetooth from WiMo to laptop. But what I'm looking is the reverse.
Anyone knows how to find it?
Please, don't tell me to buy a bluetooth headset (because I have 3). It's a enterprise project that I'm working on and the headset needs to be the WiMo device.
Regards,
it's up to the bluetooth stack on the pc if it shows the pda as a audio gateway you can
if it don't you have to get another bluetooth stack which does may require another bluetooth dongle if the one you have don't support the bluetooth stacks which support the audio gateway profile

That's is the problem. How can I configure my bluetooth application on the PC to recognize the PDA as a Headset so I can configure later as a default speaker of my computer?
Any clues? I'm using the defaul driver and bluetooth program of Windows 7.

bluetooth remote for the phone?

hi guys.. this isn't fpecificaly for the SGS but i dont know where to post it.
Does anyone know if a remote for the android phone exists that works like this:
the remote should have buttons to control the music( play/resume, stop, next, volume etc...) and have call buttons( but not necesery).
I would use it in my car and when i listen to music and my phone is in my pocket
im not interested in a bluetooth headset
if anyone can tell me a remote like this, i would apreciate it
Why dont you use a A2DP Bluetooth clip ?? How are you going to connect your phone to the car audio system ? You cant simply connect through the auxiliary input and receive calls at the same time. There is a bug in Galaxy S preventing redirecting calls to over a standard 3.5mm cable. You need one with a built in mic. Thats why its better to use a BT clip type headset.
Or you can use something like this : Sony Ericsson LiveView™
Not available in UK :'(
