Bluetooth System Sounds Through Headset - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Back when I had a Windows Mobile 6.5 device (Touch Pro AND Touch Pro2), there was an option under bluetooth settings that would allow the system sounds to play through any Bluetooth headset. It was a little checkbox that said, "Play all system sounds through remote hands-free device" and all you had to do was check it! You did NOT have to have an A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) headset. When this option was enabled, not only would the system sounds play through the headset, but any sound, including MUSIC, would play through any standard Bluetooth headset.
Being as how Android is worlds ahead of WM 6.5, you'd figure there would be an option to do this! Can anyone provide any insight into this topic??

Anyone?

Bluetooth headset and my Fuze

I have a motorola h780 (regular mono headset). I'm unable to listed on audio from the music player through my bluetooth headset. My wife has an LG Incite and the same headset and she is able to do this. Is the Fuze really lacking this ability? I was able to do the same thing on my Motorola Q with an H500 headset. I appreciate any help.

this worked for me, just copy the files over to your fuze and run the bluetooth toggle app and it should automaticlly connect.
Awesome! This works great. Just curious as to why the device will not stay in headset mode. I wonder if A2DP requires that you have an A2DP headset to keep it on? Either way I’m happy with this program.
How to do?
iris: pardon a WM rookie; I copied the files to a folder in the FUZE in the Applications space, the folder titled "BT Audio", but cannot find a way to run them. How do I make this an executable?
Also, what I am trying to do is listen to the audio track of a WMV movie that I have successfully ported. I can hear the sound through the speaker (barely), but want to hear with a regular, mono BT headset (Plantronics Voyager 510). The BT dialog shows it as "hand free", and I don't know of a way to assign it also as an audio headset. Will this program do that?

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.

GPS voices over bluetooth

I have an HTC Touch Diamond running WM6.1 Pro, and TomTom 7.450. I also have a Pioneer CD-BTB200 bluetooth handsfree unit in the car offering A2DP support.
The setup works really well as a hands free phone. When the phone rings, the stereo will switch to the 'phone' source so the music is muted. When the call is finished it will switch back to the previous source and continue playing music.
As it supports A2DP, I can also play music and system sounds, including the TomTom voices thought the car stereo, as long as the stereo is set to 'bt audio' as its source. In which case it works great, but I am limited to the audio that I can play from the phone.
What I would like is to be able to listen to music on the stereo, ie; radio or cd or whatever, then when TomTom issues some directions, for the stereo to play the directions and then return to its previous state. This is obviously possible because thats how it works when the phone rings.
Does anyone know of any software that could do what I am looking for?
Or would anyone fancy attempting a little app that would do something like this? I'm assuming that if the TomTom voices could be played in the same way as an incoming phone call, then when TomTom issues a direction, the stereo would change to 'phone' the direction would sound, the the stereo would revert back to its previous source.
I would pay a few £/$/€ for something like this, and I'm sure a load of other people would too,
Phew. Sorry for the long post.
Anyone? Or am I asking for something that deosnt exist?
The trouble is that the only way to listen to tomtom through bluetooth is through a2dp, which is always on until you turn it off. Calls dont use a2dp, and are automatically switched on when needed which is what your handsfree unit detects.
One workaround would be to play your music on your phone, and then tomtom will just speak over it, but it means all your cds would have to be ripped to your phone, and your radio streamed over the internet.
Try this,(BTAudio)-it sends all audio via the bluetooth-I assume that the
A2DP stream will run over it.
If not try A2DPtoggle (but I think that is A2DP only)
You have to start the chosen BTaudio app first (make sure BT is already paired and on),then run any other programs.

Actually the only ones PPC's that are doing what you like to do are Asus P525, Asus P535 and LG KS20 because all three are working on Broadcom BT stack.
Why Microsoft still with their crap BT??? ... Who knows!!!

Using BT headset as "Audio Gateway"

I used an HP iPAQ 6955 (WM5) for nearly 2 years prior to my newly acquired Touch Pro. It had the ability to use my BT headset as an "Audio Gateway" which is EXTREMELY convenient when using a GPS NAV application as you get the directions in your ear, rather than through the phone's speaker.
I can't seem to find anywhere on the Touch Pro to enable this "feature"? My BT headset works great for calls, but I cannot get any other audio sent to the headset.
Ideas?

one bund the a2dp able headset to the pda
and go into bluetooth settings and tab and hold it

and all sounds are transfered to the headset
I am having the same trouble. I'm trying to stream internet radio from my Fuze to my car through the bluetooth. I can send/receive calls and everything is great but can't play music. When paired the option for Stereo Headset is grayed out and it only works as a regular earpiece. I have tried the Blue Music and BT audio with no luck. Neither one worked.
Any other ideas?

Have you done it (using BTAudio) the right way? You have to connect your BT headset FIRST and THEN start the BTAudio application and switch it to on. Don't forget to switch it to off afterwards.

Your car's bluetooth system may not support streaming audio. Mine does not, even though it pairs in stereo with my fuze.

I read the manual and it says that it does support streaming music if the phone supports it. So I assume there is something needed in the phone. I looked in the Advanced Config Tool 3.3 and under the Bluetooth category there are two services listed for Audio Gateway and that is disabled by default. Is that something that could be the problem?
Works great!

Finally got around to installing the BTAudio earlier this week, and it works great. I now get the GPS directions in my Bluetooth headset, as well as other audio alerts, like new e-mail and SMS alerts.
Only gripe is that after answering a phone call, you have to stop and start the BTAudio app again. Guess it's the price of getting what I want?

It might be. Enable it and see what happens.

Playing Nexus 5 audio (MP3) through a mono Bluetooth headset

Hi there, I was previously able of routing ALL Android sounds to my mono Bluetooth headset on my previous Android devices with this free app (Mono Bluetooth router https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxistar.monobluetoothfree) but it no longer works with my new Nexus 5. Most of the sounds are going through just fine (TuneIn radio, GPS navigation, Flash videos, etc) but NOT MP3/M4A and I tried using both the default Google Play Music app and ES media player app for example. For some reasons, anything that has to do with MP3/M4A won't go through, would someone know why this is happening? Any fix/suggestions/app to try?
Thank you all for your time and support,
