[Q] Bluetooth Audio - HTC Inspire 4G

O.k. This is my first Android phone... after many many years of WM (Sorry Bill Gates, you just seem to be stuck in 1995).
The only real issue I am having is that I cannot get the audio (not phone audio) to route to my bluetooth ear piece. I like to listen to podcasts with my ear piece in, but cannot find a way to make it work.
I have a Motorola H390 ear piece and I have checked the settings and it is checked as being on. What am I doing wrong, or is there some work around.

It looks like H390 does not support A2DP which explains why you can't listen to audio on it.

eXpansys XDA2 car kit audio problems

I just had the kit installed and it looks ok. The problem is that the audio is only present when I'm on a call and it's only phone audio. What I need is a way to get the PDA audio (i.e. the navigation speaking) to come through either the car speakers or the speaker included with the kit. The fact that call audio comes through both makes me think there are two problems.
- The first problem seems to be that the kit only passes audio to the speakers when the mute signal is live for the car audio. This wouldn't be the case when listening to pda audio (navigation instructions). This seems more like a problem with the car kit which with a bit of work I could prob. get around.
- The second problem I see is that only phone (call) based audio is passed through the car kit. This problem seems to be more with the XDA. I wonder if there is a registry hack to force all audio to look the same. DOES ANYONE KNOW IF THIS IS THE CASE? If so I would really appreciate some pointers on this.
I'm using the Navman 4410 BT navigation system BTW.
Thanks,
Lyndon.

Can anyone solve my problem with earphones?

At work I like to listen to audio books and watch the occasional movie on whichever HTC device I happen to have at the time. There are however a few complications....
a) Its in a very loud factory so sound canceling in-ear buds are a must.
b) I also have to wear a motarolla headset connected to a 2-way radio. We have various different types available and I've tried them all.
c) I'm not really supposed to be listening to anything other than the 2-way radio so the ear-buds need to be somewhat discreet. (i.e. not earmuff style).
Anyway, I've tried everything, I spent a fortune on different sets of earphones, 2-way radio headsets, FM transmitters, I've cut and spliced wires, I've bought the HTC remote with stereo jack plug adapter and still I've never really managed a comfortable/robust solution to what I need.
Put simply I need to listen to 2 sound sources through one set of ear-buds.
Any ideas?

Stereo Bluetooth Problem

Hi, I have a Palm Treo 750 and an original jawbone bluetooth headset. I was wondering if there's a way for me to play music through my bluetooth headset? Thanks!
i highly doubt it, those types of bluetooth earpieces are designed specifically for talking and as far as i know do not support stereo sound.
if you want to listen to music through bluetooth headphones you have to go out and purchase a pair of MotorROKR S9 headphones

i own a pair and they are wicked for listening to music, although i'm not a fan of the earbud types of headphones and if you don't have the right sized head they wont fit properly, however they do support stereo sound for music. another point about them, they suck for taking phone calls and talking with them, they pick up way too much background noise, i only use them for music.
The only other alternative would be the logitech type, which i believe are more expensive but same idea. and they're not earbuds which appeals to me, i only bought the motorola type cuz they had been reduced to half as much as i remembered them being when i used to work for best buy lol.
these are the logitech alternative (never used them so i don't know what they're like although i imagine they kick ass for listening to music)
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/speakers_audio/headphones/devices/212&cl=US,EN
Looking at the product info on the site, these do come with an adapter for any other music device with a jack plug-in that doesn't have built in bluetooth.

[Q] Audio to non A2DP headset

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is any way to stream audio music and/or FM radio from Windows Phone 7 (I have the HTC HD7) to a non A2DP Bluetooth headset (I have the Jabra EasyGO).
It seems that I can only make and receive calls with it.
I've searched all over the place (and web) and cannot find a way to do that.
The only way is to get a new Bluetooth headset with A2DP capability?
Is there is a workaround, please let me know.
Thanks.
I don't know of one. As far as I know, the Headset profile is mono-channel only (plus another channel for the mic) anyhow, and probably quite low bandwidth, so it would likely sound awful.
Thanks for your answer GoodDayToDie.
But I don't mind for quality... Actually I'm not interested to listen for audio.
I just want, for example, to hear drive directions when I'm driving using navigation software (Navigon) instead of hearing from the loudspeaker.
Hmm... I thought the phone *would* use Headset profile for driving directions. Weird. I find the WP7 implementation to be so bad that I prefer to keep using a 4-year-old Garmin Nuvi instead, but I could have sworn I tested it and it came over the BT (and my car only has Headset, not A2DP). Maybe poke around in Settings?
Alternatively, if your car has Aux In, you could use a ripping cable (double-ended headphone cord, they're very cheap) and then the phone will play instructions over the cable into the car's stereo. This is also a great way to use the phone's music player, including Zune Pass if you have it, to play music in the car (I do this all the time). It uses less battery than having Bluetooth transmitting constantly would anyhow.

[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?

yes unfortunately you are.
to the best of my knowledge you can only have one active connection
