[Q] Captivate/Galaxy S Music through Bluetooth

Is there a way I can play Music through my bluetooth Headset? I have a Nokia BH200 and the PS3 Bluetooth (1st Gen). If done some searching and I still cant figure it out. Is there an app or something that I need? I tried the long press on the device under bluetooth and clicked options but didn't work.
Thanks in advance

Your bluetooth headset need to support A2DP profile.

There's two ways.
The first way, the bluetooth headpiece has to support A2DP. Most at this point do not. If it does, however, you can set it up in the bluetooth devices to be either a bluetooth headset OR a bluetooth headphone.
The second way is with a program called Super BT Mono Froyo. There is a paid and a free version. Not sure what the difference is, but I'm sure some research on your part can take care of that.
With Super BT Mono Froyo, there is simply an on button and an off button. Lacks luster, but it works pretty well for me. Also, it bypasses the need for your headpiece to have A2DP.

Thats good info man thanks ill give it a whirl. Do you have to have Froyo to use the app you mentioned? Im rooted using cognition. Thanks again

Buy a BT headset with A2DP support. There are a lot of them out there, some look just like normal BT headset like my Jabra BT8040.
A2DP is the only official way to get music out of any phone.

Really? I found the program on another forum about two months ago, I've been using it on my Captivate with all the roms I've tried, no problems at all. So far I've had Cognition, Cognadian Bacon, and Axura, and Super Mono Froyo worked with all the Froyo roms.

I said offical way. Means you can use with any phone, current of future, smart or dumb, out of box without any other software. Of course you can keep try finding an app for whatever your current phone is. But when you switch to a new phone running different OS, you will have to find new app (may or maynot exist).

I should have thanked the other post, but that app worked just fine. I just wish I could use this with my iPod instead.

I ended up buying the samsung's stock headset. I think the solution would be the samsung official adapter and a 3.5mm headset

I'm using the MW600 with Sennheiser CX300 headphones.
Works well.

I use my CX300-II without any adapter. With the Hardcore Speedmod kernel I'm able to use the phone's mic to speak.

those dont look like they have a mic, i found 2 at bestbuy Bose MIE2 and Monster's Mobile JAMZ but yes you gotta shell out $149
I think i will have to shell out 20 bucks for this and use my skullcanandy mic'd

How do you manage the wire when you are not using it?
Wrap it around the phone?

SteelSeries Siberia Neckband should work with the Galaxy S standard? or do you need a Iphone converter as wel. I love the sound on those headphones, but I am kindof a bassaddict. Any thoughts on this?

+1 MW600 plus your choice of headphones.

If you would like to opt for headphones from a well-established and pioneer company, then the best option you have is to search for them online as that may help you to compare and get the best features which you are looking suitable to your needs. So, search for the headphones online.

Hi guys... Just thought I'd throw my bit in. If your after a decent bluetooth headset I recommend a set "Arctic Cooling" P311. I have had these for about a month now and they are great.
Mic in earpiece does a good job and sound quality is 4.5 out of 5. Only thing is using bluetooth doesn't allow me to use voodoo sound which would be a plus (need to plug in jack). I have made numerous phone calls with them and the people on the other end have no trouble at all hearing me. Thay also wrap around the back of your head and i have been jogging with them as well. So all round decent headset with all the features you need. God I sound like I'm pitching for them lol....... Anyways they go for about $45 buck and can get straight from their website.

Navigation turn by turn voice to bluetooth?

I tried to use google navigation with my Jawbone bluetooth headset and the voice of the lady that gives you turn by turn directions are coming out of the phone speaker, not through my headset.
is there a setting I'm missing to get it to come through the headset instead of the phone speaker?
I checked in the google navigation and found nothing, nor in the settings > wireless & network > bluetooth...
Thanks in advance.

can anyone help me out with this?
thanks.

oh... well that's not very convenient...
that also explains why music don't go to my headset either... huh.
you know, actually, that's kind of stupid now I think about it.
who the heck at HTC decide on that? I mean, who drives with a stereo bluetooth headset on? it's illegal!
speaker on our phones aren't that loud to begin with. having the turn by turn direction come trough on the headset would have been beneficial...
go figure.
I hope they add an option so this is possible on the update(if we ever get it).
anyway, thank you very much for the info.

stupid if you ask me. who the heck drives around with a stereo headset...
I mean sure, I guess it's fine to work with a handsfree carkit and/or patched through your bluetooth enabled car stereo but if you have your window down while driving, it's still hard to hear.
they need to come up with an option on the phone setting for either stereo or mono bluetooth connectivity.

Well thats not actually true. Make sure your next Bluetooth has Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP). It doesnt have to be stereo, it can be monural, mine is. All of mine are actually.‎ If it has A2DP it it will say it on the box. A lot of jawbones have that feature but i've noticed it buggy with the sensation. When a headset has A2DP, when it connects to the phone it connects as phone audio and media audio. With the sensation for me, on multiple jawbones (jawbone and jambox) it only connects both audio sources when it initially pairs. The next time it connects it only connects as phone audio. I have to unpair the jawbone then pair it again and media audio will work. I've updated the firmware on both of my jawbones and it didn't help. Maybe a fix is comin, who knows. Doesnt look like TmoUS is gonna get one any time soon
OP What model jawbone do you have? If it has A2DP then unpair it and re-pair it, it should work then.

hey, thank you for the info.
that just solved it right there. A2DP...
I own a Jawbone 2. I don't think this unit has A2DP.
I guess it's time to upgrade to a new headset.
hate to give it up though... I really like how it looks, hangs on the ear(fits my ear perfect, can't even tell sometimes I have it on), and sounds.
guess I'm off to shop for either a new Jawbone(if they fit my ear right) or a new brand altogether.
anyway, thanks again.

Plain and simple your bluetooth has to support media playing thru it

[Q] Evo3d streaming music to Kenwood kdc-x895 headunit

Recently bought the Kenwood X895 headunit for my car. I can successfully pair the phone to the headunit, it downloads my phone book fine. But I cant get the head unit or phone, not sure which, to recognize that I can stream music. It will only let me make phone calls (and all that functions fine).
Any suggestions for how I get it to pair as a music player? Ive tried all I can think of short of calling kenwood and talking to a trained monkey.....

I've heard that not all decks can stream music through blue tooth. Some only do phone calls over Bluetooth. Are you sure the deck is capable of doing this?

your HU doesnt have A2DP support.
i too am a victim of them, i purchased a BT900 and it doesnt have A2DP either. Kenwood claims that there is not enough support for it and so they wont add it to the devices even though they are capable of the technology. a simple update would provide it.

That's what my next headunit will be capable of, people need to vote with their wallets when it comes to stuff like this, or send them well written assertive letters.

Well thanks for the input guys. The research I read said people were able to do it but maybe I misunderstood them using the headphone jack or something. Ill have to keep digging and harrass Kenwood to come out with a bluetooth update to allow a2dp.

oh don't worry they just released there 2012 line at ces.. If not there entire BT built in line now supports A2DP support. Fricken BS!!!! I already sent in a customer complaint and feedback. Also been spamming there FB and twitter. Its complete and utter Non-sense. My brothers 3 year old kenwood deck supports fricken A2DP but my x995 wont support it. STUPID and all there decks are capable of updates with firmware they just add the profile and its done. I think what it comes down to is they don't want to license it out for the models.

PIONEER AVH3300BT here..I too was burned by phone calls only over Bluetooth. No big deal though since Bluetooth quality sucks when streaming
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium

a2dp supports up to 768kbps, the codec used with most is 378kbps. that is far above most players and mp3s, unless your pushing flac/alac/wav you won't notice a loss in quality

There are adapters to enable bluetooth a2dp playback through you're headunit, I myself have tunelink adapter which is great, works flawlessly

What model of tunelink? I would be interested in getting this if Kenwood isnt coming up with a firmware update any time soon, depending on the price of course. And what headunit are you using it with?
And unless Im misunderstanding the amazon listing, you connect to the tunelink with bluetooth and it streams over fm to the radio? so the streaming to fm is still the weak link...

Kenwood 3.90 Bluetooth Update
Different type question. Has anyone gotten the headunit to successfully update to the 3.90 software.
I have been trying to use my laptop unsuccessfully. My laptop is a Toshiba win 7 64 bit.
When I load the native drivers from toshiba it also loads its own bluetooth utility
I can connect to the headunit and according to kenwood the update should be done as an object push. When I attempt to do this it tells me file send transfer failed.
If I try to use their utility from the website it tells me no bluetooth device found.
Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated.
Not sure if there are specific procedures com ports or whatever.

Working Headsets with microphone?.....

Im using some skullcandy aviators and it has a mic on it (I believe) but the bigger issues for me is that the buttons for volume and song control don't work do you guys know of any headsets with mics that work. I just hate having to hold my phone in my hand if im moving around, listening to music, then get a call so that I can talk through the speaker on the phone. Any help would be appreciated.

I seen some Android headphones in radioshack the other day but Im wondering if theres some kind of app to give us funtionality?? I doubt it but I can hope I guess

The problem is that the Atrix 2 uses the new OMTP 3.5 mm jack which has the ground and the mic switch compared to a standard 3.5 mm jack. In order to have a functioning mic you would need an OMTP compatible headset or find an adapter.
I have had problems finding either...but finally found one made by nox audio (but can't find a place that actually sells it) and one made by blueant which you can order from their website (it is a spare part for their over ear headphone). I plan to buy one and try it and see if it works.

Ok great im going to look into it too, thanks for your answer

My headset seems to work just fine.
It can pick-up/hang-up phone calls. And when not in a phone call, the "answer" button activates the voice search.
They are JVC...I'll have to look tomorrow to see exactly what model.
