How can I receive a bluetooth audio stream on my GS3? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I've got an Avantree Saturn bluetooth transceiver hooked up to my home stereo. When it's in Receive mode I can send audio from my GS3 to the stereo.
However, you can also Transmit audio from the Saturn. I want to send the audio from my home stereo by bluetooth to my GS3, so that I can listen with headphones on my GS3. I don't want to use a bluetooth headset. I want my GS3 to receive the bluetooth signal. This will be helpful when I want to listen to the TV (which is hooked up to the home stereo) silently on my GS3.
I can't figure out how to receive a bluetooth audio stream into my GS3. Can anyone help?

Bump

Have you tried putting the device in discovery mode and then have the GS3 do a scan for Bluetooth devices. If the phone finds the device during the scan, it should allow connection and then present whatever options are available when connecting to that device.

Does the s3 have the option of receiving audio streaming? I think only particular Bluetooth devices have that such as stereos

That's the question that I don't know the answer to. I'm suspecting that it can't, since there doesn't seem to be anyone doing it and there's no app to allow it. These posts and others suggest that it's not possible: http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...udio-from-pc-to-android-device-over-bluetooth
I guess that the apps that allow you to stream from a PC use wifi, not bluetooth.

If I had to guess. I would say No. It would be a nice feature. But I don't think our cellphones are designed for receiving audio through Bluetooth!

A2dp is working flawless here, i can honestly say that my phone feels complete now, i dont believe different kernel will break a2dp, i was on cm7/faux and now cm7/morfic latest and all is well.
Thank you cm_arcee and cm team.
So ur using faux and morfics with nightly 160 and your still getting a2dp? That's awesome. My phone feels complete now too. Don't forget nightly 160 is 2.3.7

I've only tried Bluetooth audio in my car and only the stock music player was working. No other apps such as Youtube or Google Listen were working. Hopefully they'll have it fixed soon but even having stock audio player working is awesome
Oh and I'm on nightly 164 for what it's worth
Ohh wow that sucks. Thanks for ur input and is anyone else having this same problem?

Fits kang from 10/10.
everything works fine on my end too.
I'm on CM7.1 Stable mod and stock kernel.
Is it me or does Bluetooth Audio for phone calls not work? I paired my Bluetooth headset and the audio was routing to the speaker instead of the headset. The Bluetooth toggle during phone calls acts as the speaker toggle.

I have this issue *only* when wifi calling is enabled. If I disable wifi calling, the audio goes through my bluetooth headset.
Is the issue from wifi calling then?
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Ah, interesting observation. I did have wifi calling on at that time.
Another thing: Is it me or do I only get SMS delivery reports when on wifi calling only? When I switch to the mobile network it's like I didn't even turn delivery reports.

Anyone having apn issues, did it get fixed with the latest nightlies? Because it is fixed now
I don't use SMS... I only use Google Voice for that since it's free. ;-)
It seems that wifi calling breaks many things on cyanogenmod that work on stock.
1) try to pull your account status with wifi calling enabled using my account.
2) Bluetooth doesn't work with wifi calling enabled
3) searching for apns from the settings menu is broken with wifi calling enabled.
I'm sure there is more... somehow cyanogenmod and wifi calling don't play nice and prevent the 2g/3g/4g networks from being accessed period.

[Q] looking for a bluetooth handsfree fm transmitter with audio streaming

Looking for something to give me both handsfree calling and allow for audio streaming to my car stereo. I was looking at the tunelink at bestbuy for audio streaming, only it does not provide a handsfree calling solution. I do not have an AUX input otherwise i would use the belkin aircast. Also portability is important. Has anybody come across something that will do both?
hey,
hit up Wireless wave. they have a bluetooth speaker that does exactly what youre looking for. Its made by Jabra
Thanks just saw the same thing at best buy today. The Jabra Freeway. I think I am going to get it. Its a little on the large side as it has 3 speakers, while I don't need any (going to use the fm transmitter) but have not seen anything better yet.

I have read mixed reviews with that one. Do you do any audio streaming? If so how is the quality? That one is much smaller than the one I saw.

Motorola T505. Its handsfree and will either play music. on built in speakers or stream to car stereo using built in FM transmitter. Great quality sound, I have one
Thanks got the cruiser 2 today going to try it for a few days and if it does not work well, I may try it the Motorola.

Bluetooth car kit to play songs in car

Does anyone know any bluetooth carkit which will enable me to play my music from tablet, something which connects through bluetooth and sends the sound to radio via fm. I bougth one from ebay germany but i hear gitter sounds in high frequecy, while the usb/sdcard music reading from the device itself works pretty good. The thing is i am more interested to control the music from my tablet/phone via bluetooth than pluging a usb/sdcrad with music on it, as i have to update regurarly.

Apple airplay/bluetooth

Hey so I've been messing with two apps, hifi speaker and remote for itunes, to airplay stream music to my phone at home. I was also going to buy a new blue tooth speaker and was wondering if after getting the music streamed to the phone, turning on blue tooth will this then redirect the music to the speaker?
Also, is there an app to give my phone actual airplay capabilities, not just making my phone a receiver for airplay but letting me push music/video out over airplay?
Thanks.

Wait so what music source exactly do you use with this? You said that no rom redirects audio to Bluetooth, yet I find it hard to believe if I connect my phone to a speaker via Bluetooth and play music out of, say Power amp, that THAT wouldn't work.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Using power amp only directs to certain BT frequency and when using the stock players it has always stopped when I try to swap to BT of course this is my experience u may have a more compatible BT device but this is just me u can try urself but this is what have found doesn't and hasn't worked
PS when I mean redirect I mean redirect the audio sound from the music player to the by device.

Nexus 5 and galaxy gear

Hey guys. I've recently picked up one of these watches since I've read that it will somewhat work with the n5. The main issue that I have is the fact that when paired the watch shows up as a headset instead of a watch which my zwatch showed up as. Because it pairs this way I cannot use a Bluetooth headset cause all audio is filtered to the watch. Is it possible to edit Bluetooth profiles of devices or something? Thanks for any help.

It only works with Galaxy devices natively. It is possible there is a hack out there to make it work with the N5, but I haven't seen one.

Did you download Gear Manager? Secondly, I believe it may pair as a Bluetooth headset because you can make and receive calls directly from the watch.

Yep audio gets directed to the watch. I've managed to root w/custom ROM on the gear. But the biggest thing I've got to get working is notifications on the watch and audio on the BT earpiece. No luck so far.

Yep I've had gear manager followed all tutorials and got notifications working, its just the fact that I can't use a BT earpiece. I wonder if there is a Bluetooth file somewhere that determines what kind of device is paired to the n5, and if so can it be edited so the galaxy gear is showing up as a watch instead of another earpiece.

I'll have to ask my dad but as far as I can remember whenever he used the Galaxy Gear with his phone he never used his Bluetooth headset and I'm wondering if its because the watch is now considered a Bluetooth headset.
