Hi,
I found out about the soundwire app in an old thread here on XDA; basically soundwire does one thing - it captures the soundcard and streams it to your droid, with fairly low latency. It does a very good job of this and for music and maybe certain types of games it works, but for video any type of lag is simply unacceptable.
My question for the guru's is: Can you somehow connect a pc and an android phone with bluetooth, so that the android streams audio from the PC? Perhaps using this?: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile#Advanced_Audio_Distribution_Profile_.28A2DP.29
thanks!
I used soundwire yesterday and it was perfect
Hi I used soundwire yesterday night when I was watching movie.
I found a little trick by which sound will come in sync with video perfectly.
Just try to change audio input in soundwire server in your pc for two or three times. Somehow lag between sound and video will come in sync perfectly.
This method works always.
I watched Hugo yesterday and it was perfect and nobody got disturbed as headphone was connected to my galaxy note.

hey guy,
I'm having problems getting this thing to work properly, i've searched and searched and can't seem to find anyone else with this problem:
Device pairs fine and seems to function perfectly as a handsfree, however, using media player the audio comes out of the phone even as the 'click' sound effects are coming out the headset! Can't seem to get any audio from media player or core player to come out the headset, the 'htc streaming media player' uses the headset but you can't open files etc using that.
I've tried with WM5 and WM6, same results.
Anyone faced this problem before?
Hi
I've just purchased this headset last week and am thoroughly impressed by it so far. There's not much info on it out there but theres a few characteristics I've found out about this headset; i wonder if you can help me confirm them.
- It seems like when you take the headset off your head it automatically turns off? at first I thought mine was faulty but this behaviour was quite consistent and I figured it was just a power saving feature.
- seems like it likes to turn by itself if idle quite fast.
- need to manually set the device as hands free for it to actually work as a hands free
- unable to use the mic when connecting to pc. I wanted to use it for my sip client on the pc but alas the microphone function doesn't register? What should I be doing to make this work?
In regards to your problem; I'll outline the steps I take to use mine.
1. turn on headset
2. turn on trinity bluetooth from comm manager
3. go to bluetooth settings from settings
4. touch and hold down the nokia bh501 item until the drop down menu appears ,then select "set as wireless audio" or similar
--> you should hear a sound, if you can hear this then it will work, if theres nothing
--> alternatively, select hands free if you want to use it as hands free!
5. open your favorite mp3's and it should work fine.
Does this work for you? Btw im using Mun's TE wm6 rom. What rom are u using?
Eureka!
Your post made me realise I had only tried the headset with AAC files and not MP3 and guess what? The headset only works with MP3 files! Although this is probably a limitation of the trinity.
I can also confirm it doesn't work with nerodigital video files.
I'm using the GPS enabled WM5 Ship ROM.
I'll do some more tests on different media files, it would be a real shame if we're limited to only MP3s...
EDIT: Wow the sound quality is amazing and the bass is fantastic!
I haven't tried playing AAC files because I haven't got any...I specifically converted all my formats so I could use GS player. I'm pretty sure the headset can play WMA as well..I haven't really tested...
The next thing I notice is this constant high pitch ringing or hissing sound...It's very uncomfortable.
I've seen reports of this all over the forum in regards to the Triity, let's hope there is a fix available soon.
wma file work.
i have wm6 and a motorola ht820 and it works great. the only thing is that the perfomance of the trinity decrease while i'm using the bluetooth-headset.

Hi All,
Is there a way to make my Android phone (whatever it is) as an bluetooth headphone/headset?
I'll try to explain it in other words. I want for example route all my PC AUDIO STREAM (IN/OUT) to my Android via Bluetooth and manage it from Android.
So the end configuration would be an Android as an headset able to stream the audio from Android's Mic to my PC and to receive an audio from PC.
Same thing as between two Android Phones.
I mean, when i'm receiving a call, it would be nice to forward that call to another Android phone via bluetooth because the other Android phone will be like a Bluetooth headset.
I'll really appreciate all kind of suggestions.
Thanks
Francesco
i was actually thinking of the same idea last night..but i couldnt find any app that could stream audio from my pc to the phone..
may be i didnt searched enough?
I am also searching for something like this.
Did you find an app that could do it?
I did some searching both online and in the market myself and couldn't find anything related to these purposes. I would like an app for this so that I can lay in bed and watch a movie without disturbing others with the audio. I could just listen to headphones through my Droid X.
The most likely software developer to develop something like this, and has yet to make any smartphone appearances is Soundflower. I love Soundflower on my mac and it makes so much sense that they would develop an app for something like this.
i'm looking for app that will enable my phone to call(and make conversations) trough other phone via bluetooth.did anybody come across such app?
Hi, digging up, I was looking for this kind of feature to watch movies fullscreen VLC on my desktop computer from my bed, without having to buy meters of extra headphone cable or a wireless headphones.
I came accross Jamcast which uses wifi network instead, but it's much too complicated, laggy, and expensive shareware.
Bluetooth is the way to go, but we need to be able to use android as a bluetooth headset.
Anyone got news ?
I'm also interested with doing this. Found any app for this purpose?
I've searched for a while, and found none.
BUMP. this could save me from buying expensive headset which can't even last 1 day!!!
Someone custom-implemented the needed Bluetooth role
It looks like some Android device has custom implementations of both A2DP sink role and HFP hands free unit role. I can't post links yet. Google this:

Hi, I just purchased a new TF700 and have been hoping like crazy, that it does not have any of the issues some people have been running into, again with another top of the line Asus tablet. So far there are no blemishes on the screen or case, the screen fitment seems pretty good and there is no creeking of flexing when pinching or pressing on the screen. The light bleed is not crazy bad. The GPS and wifi work great. It prompted me for an OTA update shortly after turning it on, and streaming video while listening via my S10 bluetooth headset, does not cause network drop. I was just about to proclaim it as near perfect, and then I ran into this. When streaming archive video from an internet network the audio and video don't match. I can pull it up on a Galaxy SII and SIII phone running ICS on the same wifi network and it works fine. But every time I stream any of the videos from there, it is never in sync. And not all video streaming is like this. Youtube from either the app or website are in sync. And so are videos from both the Hulu and Netflix apps. I watch videos from this internet network nearly every day, and have to try to get this figured out. Does anyone have suggestions or information pertaining to this issue? Is it related to this particular processor?
Oh yeah, and it does it when using the internal speaker only too, no headset whatsoever.
Thanks,
I have more interesting details as of today. I work with someone who has an Asus tf300 tablet and I tested it today. When connected to the same wifi network, and streaming the same video from an online network, the sound and video were out of sync again on my tf700, however the tf300 was dead on. Is my only option to just exchange it and hope the next one is better? Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks,
Bluetooth lag has been addressed here before and is likely the root of your issue. Use the search feature to do some investigative work and you'll get to the bottom of it. Here's a good thread to start at:

Ok thanks for the response Chief Geek, but in my case it isn't Bluetooth related, because it does it when no headset is attached, right through the factory installed speaker.

Gotcha. I stream a ton of different media from my home server to devices, to my TV via google tvbox, and to browsers outside of my network. The issue you are getting can be adjusted inside some video players by a time delay settings if it is consistant enough. If not, try playing with different file/container type comos and also different players can make a difference. Its a real PITA and happens on all my devices occasionally, even my 8 core laptop.

Yes, unfortunately this happens from within a browser, and I have tried several. I know there are no such adjustments from them. The thing that is annoying is that it happens with the Infinity every time I try it, and other Android phones and tablets seem to work fine. I just tried one of the new Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 tablets, and it also works good.
I tried Asus support today and they just had me reset the device and see if that would fix it. It didn't. I think the fix for me is going to be to return it and get the Note 10.1.
Hey guys,
I recently switched to an S6 and I like it very much.
but i got a question.
I have at home a denon AV receiver, without wifi, but connected over etherned cable to my router
With my htc one m7 it was enough to slide 3 fingers over the display to connect it to the receiver and sound frm youtube, deezer, whatever came through my sound system.
I don t care about video, but more the sound.
Somehow I dn t know how to do this with the s6 for youtube or deezer.
I read in some forums, found out about quick connect. The s6 is my first samsung phine. I can use quick connect and it connects to the denon but I can chose obly to play from the gallery or music app.... what I want is youtube,deezer etc. With htc it didn t care what app...
Even when I open youtuve or deezer and I click on share with quick connect, it will not play...it works only with the music/galery app from samsung... what do I wrong or what do I need to do so that it works?
Thanks
So after reading a bit more, I figured out that htc implemented 3 yrs ago sth called htc connect as alternative to airplay and it did its job... streaming spotify,youtube etc...
but if I m right, samsung has nth similar to this? I consider this very poorly...
Hello fellow XDA'ers,
My question is simple. Is there any way to sync/stream literally all my phone's playback to my PC ? I see all kinds of methods where audio/video files could be streamed from Phone to PC and some methods to stream audio from PC to Phone (like SoundWire), but I would like to be able to do the opposite.
Example Scenario: I listen music quite much via my PC, on a (some would consider) very high volume, chilling on my balcony, which prevents me from hearing my phones notification sounds & ringtone. I would like to be able to stream/sync those sounds to my PC so it plays the sounds through my speakers, connected to my PC.
I've been searching my *behinds* off on Google for this, also I looked (not thoroughly) through the forums here for any similar threads, but couldn't find one. I now depend on your wisdom as XDA'ers hehe.
Any kind of solution is welcome (via App, Server, Client whatever).
BTW: my phone (Samsung Galaxy S4 , GT-I9505) is rooted (OmegaROM v42.1 - XXUHOF2) with Android 5.0.1
Thanks in advance.
Kind Regards,
Well the way i do it, which in my case i consider to be the easiest way is: if your PC has bluetooth you can sync it to your phone and every sound from your phone will come through your pc speakers. If your pc has no bluetooth you can buy a bluetooth dongle 4.0 for about $20. And if i want extra all i do is connect my pc to my 7.1 sorround sound system.
