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.

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.
hi,
I have a bluetooth headset (Samsung one)
When I power on my headset, and then my bluetooth on the HD2, i am connected, but iI have to go all the time into the bluetooth setup and reconnect to Stereio AUDIO and HandsFree.
Why ?
thanks
Sorry, no solution, just confirmaiton of another BT issue...
I'm also having trouble with Bluetooth.
I have a quite old Motorola ear piece and a more recent JVC car stareo head unit with Bluetooth capability, neither will connect to make/receive calls.
Both connected and worked as they should do on my last phone...
I recently purchased a Bluetooth stereo headset to listen to music/podcasts on my Captivate.
Jabra HALO Bluetooth Stereo Headset (sorry can't post links yet, but it is easily found via google search)
It works well except the phone won't always send the audio to the headset. Works fine for phone calls etc. But when I use pandora, acast etc.. the audio sometimes won't go to the headset. It is paired properly etc...
Is there some setting I am missing? i have searched other similar threads, but they seem stale and are for other phones.
The headset works fine with my laptop.
Thanks.

You need to have a froyo rom and get Super BT Mono for Froyo from market. I use the app and can listen to anything from my phone through my cheap bt.
I've noticed issues with the A2DP side of the Bluetooth connection. Voice is fine but music Idoesn't always connect, I'll have to reset the connection to get the A2DP going.... Anyone experiencing this?
mine works fine with 2 different pairs of headphones. Sorry to hear you're having issues.
works fine here with stereo bluetooth headset. might be your external device
I have a bluetooth headset (Jawbone Era) as well as a JVC car head-unit which connects by Bluetooth.
I've used both successfully with my GS3 in the past, but right now, although I can get incoming audio on both (as well as media playback), but on both, nobody can hear me talking. I've tried unpairing and re-pairing the bluetooth and head-unit headsets, but I still have audio in, not audio out.
I'm bone stock, not even rooted. Any suggestions?
I got it working, I just had to unpair ALL devices on both sides, turn off bluetooth, restart the phone, then finally turn bluetooth on and set everything up again.
