[Q] MW600 (A2DP) headset for music on Samsung S2 - General Questions and Answers

I am a new owner of a Samsung Galaxy S2 and cannot find a way to get my Sony Ericsson MW600 (fully A2DP compliant) BT stereo headset to work with the music player. All other system sounds, telephone, voice commands etc are working fine on the MW600. Even the BT to my car is fine. The Bluetooth settings menu says that the MW600 is "Connected to phone audio". Under profiles for the MW600 pairing it does say Phone: "Connected to phone audio" and also Media: "Use for media audio".
The whole point of the MW600 is for hearing quality music playback, but for all BT setting I tried, the music just comes through the phone speaker, and not through the MW600. Probably I have overlooked a setting or special condition? Any ideas?
Thanks.

I'm soon to be an owner of a Samsung Galaxy S2 also, I'm really hoping that my MW600 is compatible too.
On my desire, the controls and audio were fine. Sadly the track display wasn't.
I'm going to do some SGS2 A2DP research and I'll post anything if I find any relevant reads.

I'm interested in getting a MW600 too, so i'll bump this up one time...

For Anyone Interested I have A2DP working perfectly with my Samsung Galaxy S2 and Sony Ericsson MW600 bluetooth headset.
Pairing driven by phone works perfectly and track titles also show up on the MW600's OLED screen.
Also works flawlessly with most Samsung based ROMs.
Waiting For A2DP to work on AOSP based ROMs..

Try these:
1. Go to settings > wireless and network > Bluetooth
2. Turn on bluetooth if it's not on yet.
3. Pair to MW600 if it's not paired yet
4. Connected or not, long-press the MW600 from the bluetooth devices list
5. You should see these options:
Paired and not connected:
Connect
Unpair
Options
Paired and connected:
Disconnect
Disconnect and Unpair
Options
6. Select options
7. You should see three checkboxes with 3 items:
Connect (checked if your connected to the headphones)
Phone (Checked if you are connected to the headphones' call functions)
Media (Checked if you are connected to the phones' audio streming and remote controle profile)
7. Check the one appropriate
You can also use this to say for example pair the music function to a car stereo and pair the phone function to an in-ear BT headset.
Hope that helps. Hit the thanks button please

Make sure your headphones is in pairing mode do that it is discoverable. To enter pairing mode, hold down the power button for a bit longer when powering up your headset.. about 5 seconds is enough.. You'll know you've entered pairing mode when you see an icon with two arrows circling reach other..
A2dp is the bluetooth profile for transferring audio via bluetooth.. if your bluetooth device supports a2dp.. that simply means it can stream audio.. Bluetooth mice and keyboard for example are devices with hid(human interaction device I think or is it input? I forgot) and can therefore control devices that support hid, like laptops and android devices running froyo, gingerbread or honeycomb..

MW600 (A2DP) headset for music on Samsung S2
On any Android device, under bluetooth settings, you can see list of devices paired.
I also had the same problem, MW600 getting connected as phone device and not media device. If you want to get this fixed, all you have to do is press play and phone button both together same time for 5 seconds. You would be then able to see the MW600 device getting connected to phone and media device.
This worked for me. Hope you guys find this info useful.

Help with blue tooth music streaming

Hey All,
I have a Diamond, and a cardo rider Q2 for my motorbike helmet. They pair up nicely for phone calls, but I cannot get music to stream to the helmet.
All other functions work fine. If I press a button on the phone the sound of the button comes through.
The annoying thing is that my friend has a N95 and it works just fine, so I know the headset is capable.
Is there some setting that I need to change? Or a download to fix this?
Any help would be appreciated. And please take it easy on me as I am not very capable with technology.
Thanks In advance
Adam
Adam,
Double click on the icon of the paired headphones on the bluetooth screen and make sure that Wireless Stereo is ticked.
The system is using two profiles- one for phone calls (headphones) and the other for music (Wireless Stereo). Yout helmet BT earphones should be able to switch in between as long as they are enabled.
CD
Hey CD, thanks, I tried that, but..
When I do that it only gives me the option of "hands free".
If I plug in my wired HTC head phones while maintaining the blue tooth connection to my helmet and play music the music comes through the wired headset, but when I try to voice activate an outgoing phone call the music changes from the wired headset to the bluetooth headset temporarily.
I have the same problem (posted on another thread) Jabra 320's I use to cycle to work, worked OK with my SE W880i. But like you the TD only registers 'hands free', I have checked the profile in BT and it only shows hands free, there is no BT Stereo box to tick/untick. I have tried installing/uninstalling and using a third party BT program (recommend in a previous thread) and have just upgraded to the new official Rom all to no avail.
I think the TD likes some stereo headset's but sees some others as just a mono handsfree unit.

I have the same Jabra 320's... finally got them working as Wireless stereo pressing the main button again and again during pairing... I didn't know it was going to work - It was out of frustration!!!
I tried several times with my 320's (deleted, re-installed, tried different ways/software) all to no avail.
There is a software upgrade for the 320's on the Jabra site but you need a special usb connector to flash the unit.
In the end I picked up the newer BT3030 cheaply on e-bay and they were recognised straight away as Handsfree and stereo BT streaming.
Both the 320's and 3030's have the A2DP profile, so not sure why the don't see the 320's correctly?
So happily cycling to work again with the BT3030 and listening to BT stereo.
In order for you to do what you want your headset must support A2DP Bluetooth profile (and even if it does it may not work!). That is the profile needed to send stereo music from the HTC. Most handsfree units do not do that - they just support headset and handset Bluetooth profiles.
There is a utility available called BTMusic that can be downloaded free from here. This will allow music to be sent using the headset or handset Bluetooth profiles, and it worked with my Parrot car kit, so it may work for you. The problem is that it is mono only and the quality of the sound is not brilliant - after all these profiles were never designed for that.
So the alternative is to find a new headset that supports both handsfree and A2DP profiles and works with both.
umm yea... i went through EVERY SINGLE thread this thing has. none of the programs work for me period.

A2DP Problem??

Was wondering how i can set my device to auto-connect with my Pioneer stereo.
This is the initial problem:
I pair my Raphael with my Pioneer car stereo - When I initially pair the BT to my stereo i get hands free and wireless stereo, however after this when my phone connects it only connects to the hands free. IT WILL NOT CONNECT AGAIN UNLESS THE PARTNERSHIP IS DELETED AND RE-ADDED - it will not pair if i click "set as wireless stereo" in the bluetooth settings of the phone, or when I click play on my car stereo.
I want when the phone so that when it comes into range of my stereo that it auto connects to both A2DP and hands free, I also want this to be automatic, ie not using A2DPToggle.
Any help would be appriciated
Thanks in advance,
Kris Bennett
a2dp problem
same problem here... i have to delete the device everytime,refresh, search and reconnect to use the a2dp function. handsfree for calling mobile works fine..
need some help.. may be a little tweak in the bluetooth function..
thanks
Same here most times - although occasionally it works OK... very annoying!
You might check your Pioneer manual. I have a Sony BT CD player and I have to push the number 6 on the head unit to reconnect it everytime I get in my car. I wish it automatically connected but this is quite easy for me. I would have never figured it out if I didn't read the manual.
I have checked the manuals and there is no mention of needing to push anything on the deck. I want my phone to auto connect - i know that this must be possible to do when it connects with my hands free as a2dp Toggle does it, but you have to press a button on the prog that connects it , I want it to be automatic
yeah, ive always had that problem with my pioneer headunit
Same problem for my TP with Jabra Speakerphone. any update?

Goto your Bluetooth settings and enable "Make this device visible to other devices" , should solve your problem. I also have a Pioneer BT headunit in my car, and that corrected it.

A2DP stopped working

Hi,
Yesterday, I installed a new car stereo and after a lot of frustration installing it, I was happily surprised the A2DP worked by default, just paired my touch pro with my stereo, start playing in wmp and it comes through my stereo system. However during the day I started looking for another player to use (during my breaks of course ) and installed pocket music player bundle ( I don't know if it has anything to do with my problem, just trying to include as much info as I can ). In the evening I enabled bluetooth of my phone again, I think I also had the headphone logo, but when trying to play using pocket music player and wmp, it always just used the speaker of the phone and didn't seem to send anything through A2DP.
Any idea how this can be? Is there a setting somewhere to change what audio is used (A2DP/Speaker/ whatever...)?
TIA!
OK, this seems to have been quite stupid.
Haven't been in my car since, but same behaviour with my logitech a2dp bluetooth headset.
Going into bluetooth settings, "right click" on logi_stereoV01 and "instellen als draadloos stereo" (set-up as wireless stereo) did the trick, probably the same for my CAR--BT,sorry for the stupid post.
Although it would be nice if the touch pro would automatically set the detected bluetooth device as wireless stereo every time, just as it seems to do for setting it headset when in range while turning on the bluetooth.
Sorry for the strange sentences... it was a long day
same problem
i just bought a bluetooth receiver for the car.
it fits in the lighter place and transmits via FM to the car radio.
My htc connected staight away (no code required to me) with the new "car Kit" found, but whatever i try i always have the sound from the htc speaker...
How can i solve this?
Thanx in advace.

[Q] mw600 Sony Ericsson bluetooth headseat pairing strangeness

Hello,
I just got the mw600 headset and when trying to pair with my Desire (CM 6.0.2)
1. Pairing, i put the mw600 in fresh pairing mode (reseted)
2. Phone finds mw600 and I try to pair
3. I get a beep and the mw600 goes to "sleep"
4. Phone stays "unpaired" but the headset is paired
5. I press "phone button" on mw600, I get a pair request on the phone
6. I press "Pair" and all I get is a beep in the headset (=ok) but I don't get any
pin-input dialog and the mw600 is still unpaired in the phone.
I think the problem is that the headset thinks it is paired but the phone does not. So when I press the "Pair" in the "Paring" dialog it "shuts down".. But it's just a guess..
Anyone know how to fix? Is it possible to edit the bt paring configuration/db to
make it work?
Cheers, Rkthkr
I can confirm that the headset works in HTC Desire stock ROM 2.2.

[Q] How to pair with Bluetooth headset in phone mode?

I just got a Bluetooth headphone/headset (with mic) to use with my GT7+ (GT-P6210 wi-fi only) and my semi-smart phone. The headset (Motorola MOTOROKR S305) has three different pairing modes: music only, phone only, and both.
When I pair it with my little phone, it automatically pairs as both. It works fine as a phone headset (mic and earphones), and it works fine as a stereo headphone with the phone's music player.
When I pair it with my GT7+, it automatically pairs as music-only. There is no microphone function. With Bluetooth off, I can make calls using the GT7+ built-in mic and speaker and the GrooVe IP app. No problems. But with the Bluetooth headset paired, I just don't get the mic function. I can hear the phone audio in the earpieces, but the mic is dead.
Is there any workaround? Is there a way to get the GT7+ to identify itself as a phone-capable as well as music-capable device for the purpose of Bluetooth pairing? (That's what I think must be missing.)
TIA.
I can't speak for that particular headset but I successfully use a jabra (phone headset only) and GV with my tab plus. However, before I had a A100 tab and I had similar mic problems with the same jabra headset...so the whole compatibilty thing seems to be hit or miss.
I assume you checked settings to confirm there are no options to adjust mic? Also, you might see what happens if you pair and use GV right after boot.

I did check settings and I didn't find anything relevant. I also tried pairing while GrooVe IP was running and logged into GV. I'll try that again right after boot. Thanks.
