OK.. so first question you are probably asking is WHY??
I am looking to build an in-car computer with one of those little android computers, touch screen monitor, all hooked up to an amp and then my standard car speakers..I want to then use this to take calls from my Samsung S2 and also playback music.
So what I am trying to find out is if it is possible to get android to act as a headset / audio playback device? Have looked around but found nothing helpful. Any thoughts??

Ive been searching around but can't seem to find any apps that would do this. seems to me like it would be quite simple to do. anyone know o something similar to able to quickly put something together?
Main reason at the moment is that i currently have a long wire diagonaly across my room to connect my laptop to my speakers. I just thorght it would be realy good if i could plug my phone into my speakers and then send music to it via bluetooth. Im sure other people have been in this situation where an audio cable has not quite been long enough. I have also discovered that many people have TVs supporting bluetooth headsets who would love to be able to listen through their phone.
there is wifi option: twonkys media server. or xmbc which i have been pointed to however I have discovered I am unable to connect to the wireless due to security issues. battery life would also suffer more.
any thorghts on this?
Been a while, but did you have any luck?
I'm looking for a way to deploy my WinMo phone as a Bluetooth Audio Sink, i.e. receiving stereo music on it & relaying that through either its speaker or connected headphone.
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

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'm trying to buy an after-market car audio deck/receiver. After having spent a few hours at a car stereo shop, nothing I saw there seemed to work 100% with my Android phone (Samsung Vibrant running 2.2 custom froyo).
My first pick was an Alpine IDA-X303 which is intended for iPhone/iPod but has USB input, so I tried with my Vibrant with no joy either in mass storage or media player mode. The deck doesn't support BT so moved onto the CDE-103BT. On that one, it pairs with BT but supports only phone function and no BT audio. It picked up the Vibrant over USB but reported back "no files" yet I had placed mp3s in root of both internal and external sd. So despite it having USB and BT, it would be down to mic jack. I looked at a few other Alpines and they seemed to all have some sort of brutal shortcoming like these when connected to my Android.
I tried a JVC and the USB worked as expected, although track information didnt get displayed on the deck. And I perused the Sony's but really, I was after an Alpine and ultimately I want BT audio with the USB option just to charge if needed. Nice to have is support for streaming apps eg Grooveshark and Subsonic.
So I thought I would ask fellow XDA'ers: Has anyone had success with their phone over BT audio (or even just USB) with a car deck and not suffered major shortcomings? Can anyone recommend a car deck, Alpine or not, that supports BT audio properly and whether it works for streaming apps or what solutions people have found for running this combo? Whats the best deck out there right now for supporting music on Android?
Thanks!!
I'm looking at these head units with some features in addition to Bluetooth version 5.0

I do not have my Galaxy Tab Plus yet, I plan on ordering it soon from T-Mobile US. However, I am going to be mounting this tablet in my Dashboard of my car, I was wondering can someone who does have this device confirm for me that there is a way to connect an external input to this tablet?
For example, I would like to have a headphone (3.5mm) jack connected to the tablet on one end, and be able to connect it to the headphone jack (output) of an mp3 player on the other end, and listen to the music from the MP3 player through the Tablet. Please let me know if the Galaxy Tab Plus is able to do this.
Thanks in advance!
There's no external mic input for the P6210 7.0+. Not quite the T-mob version, but similar enough. A bluetooth stereo audio transmitter might be your workaround, mp3 player streaming via bluetooth to the 7.0+, assuming there is an app that can render the stream(don't know of any off hand).
Okay, I'll have to see what apps can render incoming Bluetooth audio for android then. I found the device I can use to do this through BT, http://www.miccus.com/products/blubridge-mini-jack.
Thank you for the information! I might just be better off waiting until T-Mobile gets some new tablets this year as well... we'll see, I am just pretty impatient and really excited to get this project going.
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.
