Use phone a listening Device - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

I am trying to see if there is any software out there that will allow me to use my phone as a listening device or "bug" and listen via bluetooth.
Basically I would like to be able to have my bluetooth headset on and paired with my phone, activate the app and be able place my phone someplace so I can listen to conversations or sounds picked up by the phones mic over the bluetooth earpiece/ headset. I have looked all over but have not had any luck with finding something like this. It seems like it would be fairly easy accomplish.
Any help would be appreciated.

Bluetooth headset for 2 ears

All I want is a bluetooth headset for both ears that I can use to listen to music and to make calls with. Basically I want a bluetooth version of the headset that came w/ my xda II. Does anyone know of anything like this? If not, does anyone know how I might be able to "modify" a regular headset to be used via bluetooth. I want to be able to listen to music and take calls, but i want to be able to listen to music on both ears, not jus one. I don't even care if it's mono, i just want another speaker for my other ear. Please help if you can at all.
There certainly seems to be a gaping hole in the marketplace.
These people are even selling a design for some bluetooth stereo headphones, but little else comes up on a quick Google!

sound through a2dp headset only for calls?

Hi I have a new car stereo which pretends to be a a2dp headset, I use it for making hands free calls but my phone.
I also use my phone as my satnav and want to be able to hear directions but when connected to the stereo if i want to hear them i need to select bluetooth audio, but I also want to be able to listen to my radio/cd/mp3s.
Is there a way to tell my phone to use its speaker for all sound but the phone calls, in which case use the headset(stereo).
If i cant do this normally is there some software out that can do this?
If not is this possible to code myself I have some experience with wm development but nothing with regards to sound, I.e. can I listen for when a call is coming in and change sound modes?
Another option which will work just as well would be to enable both outpiuts at the same time is this possible?

w: app to make handset act as bluetooth headset

Does an app exist that will allow me to use my Android handset as a bluetooth headset for another phone? Use case: my hated work Blackberry in my pocket rings, and I'd like my Desire to mute what I'm listening to, alert me that the other phone is ringing and let me use the Desire to pick up the call.
Get a google voice and both phones will ring. You can seperate contacts to recive different voicemails just in case you don't answer in time that way nobody knows the difference. All your work emails will still goto the blackberry. The only difference is you can answer from both phones.
Actually I have a similar request. I have a motorbike and a navigation set on it. To this navigation set I can connect a bluetooth headset.
What I would like is using my HTC Desire as a bluetooth headset, since that is already in my pocket. Then I could just put the phone in my pocket, earpieces in and connect to the navigation system without the need of an additional bluetooth headset.
Any ideas? Is it even possible technically or does the phone need to have some special bluetooth profile for this to work?
+1 for an app like that. Would be awesome to connect my android device to my stereo and use my mac to stream audio to it!
I am very interested in this too as I would like to connect my phone to my pc and make phone act like a bluetooth headset so I can sit back and watch movies at night .

Bluetooth- disable bluetooth mic, keep speakers.

Hi all, rooted-stock 4.0.4 on a Verizon Galaxy S3. I have an Alpine EX-10 bluetooth kit for the car that uses the A2DP profile. Works great for music, it reports it has a mic, but the mic doesn't work (and has never worked, on iPhone and other devices).
What I'm trying to accomplish is to be able to still play music through bluetooth, but have voice commands and phone calls use the onboard mic instead of the bluetooth one. I don't want to have to switch BT on and off, ideally I'd like nav directions through bluetooth, but still be able to speak addresses into the phone itself.
Is there an app/tweak that can 'split' the audio devices so I can use both at once?
Hope this makes sense, and thanks in advance for the help.

I'm also interested in this, has anyone ever found a solution?

[Q] A bluetooth work-around needed?

Hello everyone,
I have a specific problem with a bluetooth device and with my limited knowledge I haven't worked out how to fix it, so I am asking for your help. I will explain it best I can...
I have a third-party bluetooth stereo in my car that has a built in mic for voice calls. However, the microphone is of terrible quality and as it's in the stereo unit it's quite far from me when I'm driving meaning it is almost useless to use for voice calls. Because of this I purchased a seperate good quality bluetooth speaker/mic that fits on to the car's sun visor. The problem I have is when I get in to my car my phone connects to the stereo only and not the small speaker. I want my phone to connect to the stereo via b/t so I can play my music through it, which is great, but not for voice calls. I see in the b/t options on my phone (HTC One) that you can check/uncheck boxes for the type of connections, in this case 'Phone Audio' and 'Media Audio'. If I just have the Media Audio setting checked, the phone fails to connect to the stereo at all, not even for music, so in order for it to automatically connect to the stereo I need the Phone Audio option enabled too, causing it to then not connect to the seperate device, thus diverting all calls through the stereo, which is really inconvenient. There are no options within the stereo that isolates these individual settings.
Are there any apps or methods you can advise me on that will allow my phone to connect to the stereo automatically but with voice disabled? I have looked in to Tasker but I am not skilled enough to work out how to set it up, so if this is the best option can somebody talk me through this please?
I appreciate the help on this, and I hope I've explained it adequately.
Simon
