Hello. On my HTC Imagio, the Stereo Audio profile doesn't start automatically when playing music through my Bluetooth headset. I am using a Jabra BT 8040 which is one of the few single ear headsets that supports A2DP. On every other HTC phone I have used, it started when playing music. My last was an HTC Fuze.
I spoke with HTC support and they state that the ROM is configured this way. I find that odd since this is being sold as a multimedia powerhouse with Verizon's TV service and all that.
What I would like is a mortscript or TSR that detects when Is tart playing music and loads the Stereo Audio profile. Auto A2DP doesn't work, HTC has doen something to the audio gateway service.
Any ideas?
Does anyone know if apt-x audio is part of the Touchwiz rom or built into the phone itself? I'm using the HTC bluetooth dongle in my car for audio streaming and love it, sounds absolutely awesome. But, I do want to flash CM10 or another jellybean rom. Will apt-x audio still work with other roms or is that just an audio codec that Samsung licensed so it will only work with stock Touchwiz?
If working with only Touchwiz is the case, will Jellywiz have apt-x?

Apt-x is a proprietary codec supplied by CSR, incorporated on the CSR BT chipset integrated on the phone. What is unclear is whether the modifications to the ROM and/or radio FW would disable or otherwise disable/impact the application of the codec when streaming music from the phone via BT.
I have repeatedly asked this question and have yet to get an answer. I think this is a somewhat critical issue given the increasing popularity of the Apt-x codec and the use of the handset as a source for streaming musical content.

It would be great to get a definite answer. I wonder if there's a way to tell if it's running (besides comparing audio quality by ear). For example an app that shows the status of apt-x while audio is streaming. I didn't know it was on the bluetooth chip itself. Maybe it's always on? If it's not enabled on other roms it would be nice to find a way to turn it on, like a zip file that can be flashed to enable it. I wish I new something about programming or fiddling with what makes android tick.
And yes I agree phones aren't just for making calls anymore, it's for all forms of high quality entertainment. It makes no sense to stream low quality music when you have a top of the line phone with high quality speakers to match.
Re:Apt-x
One other thing I should note. To realize the improved sound quality, the device you are streaming to, must also utilize the CSR BT chip w/Apt-x support. Otherwise, your device will likely render using AAC or something more mundane.
The HTC Car Stereoclip utilizes apt-x for streaming. I have a semi-permanent hookup in my car. The clip in tucked away behind a compartment in my center console with the AUX cable and power cable hooked up to it at all times. The clip turns on when I start my car and I have an NFC sticker that starts up Car Home, bluetooth and Spotify. Sounds just like it's hooked up to an AUX cable. It's worth investing in if you use a car a lot and want good sounding wireless tunes.
Does anyone know if it's possible to route audio to two bluetooth speakers at the same time, preferably in Android or IOS devices?
I know in the past bandwidth was a big issue, but I'm sure bluetooth 4.0 would be able to handle two audio streams.
Hi,
My S5 is rooted. I would like to get my phone call audio from my bluetooth speaker but the speaker only supports stereo (a2dp) bluetooth profile.
Is there an app , fix, library which could do the audio routing from phone call to bluetooth stereo device ?
Thanks.
I'd appreciate any help. Even, "it's not possible" could give an idea. (Although, with a rooted device it should be possible, since we just wwant to redirect sound to another device)
no ideas anyone ?
Hello,
Does anyone if it is possible on the Pixel 3a to output audio from different apps to different audio devices? Apparently Samsung has this feature (Separate Audio) but I can't find anything analogous to that for the Pixel. Specifically I would like to route an audio book (Libby) to wired or Bluetooth head phones and Spotify to Android Auto or Car Bluetooth.
Thanks!
