Phone with headset as headset for PC?

Hi!
I forgot my usual headphones at home but I do have my Touch Pro and its usb headset. Can I redirect the sound from my PC to my Touch Pro via bluetooth and then get the sound out its headset?
Quick replies are greatly appreciated!!
Best Regards Gustaf

hmmm... redirecting sound to a device from a PC... I have no idea if such a thing exists (And haven't done a deep search) but I think you should try to offer the guys who created BlueAudio or BlueMusic to create such a thing.
if you could be a beta tester you'd also get it for free... most probably

Bluetooth connection problem with sony Bluetooth headphone DR-BT50

Hi to all
Before I had nokia n97 and a sony DR-BT50 Bluetooth headphone which could connect to n97 and my laptop so easy.
after I buy samsung galaxy s I tried to connect the headphone but no way. the phone can not discover the bluetooth headphone
Before i was on Eclair and try it but could not, after I update to Froyo I had hope to make it work but the problem persists.
here are the bluetooth headphone specifications:
Bluetooth® Technology : Bluetooth Version 2.0
Diaphragm : PET
Function : A2DP, AVRCP, HFP (1.0), HSP (Ver. 1.1, Vol. 2, Part K:6)
Interface : A2DP, AVRCP, HFP, HSP
I was wondering if this is a hardware matter or could connect phone to Bt headset by applying some update.
Anyone have any idea?

Hello! I have dr-bt50 and shw-m110s (korean galaxy). Before froyo i was able to pair devices and translate media to headset. No luck with voice calls though. After froyo pairing is successful too. But when i turn headset off, android forgets about a2dp profile associated with dr-bt50. So i have to unpair device, then pair it again EVERY TIME i want to listen to music or watch a video using headset. This is really sick.

I have a MW600 with SGS I9000, I never had any problems (Eclair included).
I'm currently on Froyo 2.2.1 XWJS5. But I have installed all leaked ROMs with no issues too.
I hope to help you.

Hi, MW600 works well on my SGS since Éclair. Are you pairing it correctly?
here are the instructions from the user guide:
Pairing the headset with another device
1)Make sure the headset is turned off.
2)Turn on the Bluetooth function in the other device
3)Place the other device within 20 cm (8 inches) of the headset.
4)Press and hold down the power on the headset for about 5 seconds until the pairing indicator appears on the display.
5)In the other device: Search for and add a new device.
6)If a passcode is required, enter 0000.
To reset your MW600
1)Make sure the headset is turned off.
2)Press and hold down the power until the pairing indication appears.
3)Simultaneously press and hold down power & call until the headset turns off.

Yes, all of the buttons and touch sensitive volume works. Did you try to reset the MW600?
MW600 can pair with 3 devices, maybe during the time that you tested it, your SGS was set as the "calling device" coz usually the first one if it is a phone or mp3 player will be set as the "music source".
You can either reset or manually set your SGS as the "music source" by long pressing the play button and selecting your SGS.

Thx
Problem solved by uninstalling 3trd party music player, must using the default player...
Oh yeah, is it safe to charge with the galaxy s charger ?

You don't have to reset the MW600 just to pair with another devise, you just need to power off and long press the power, I posted this, 3 posts above.
I tested this with PowerAMP music player and all the controls work.
I've charged mine using SGS charger and USB but I can't say if it's safe, I'm no expert in that.
I Swyped this on my Galaxy S

It seems that the headset sony DR-BT50 is working on XWJS5 rom but not working on the others such as JVP/JVQ, anyone knows which files are involved for bluetooth so port them from JS5 to JVQ ?

[Q] Query about Headset!!

Guys,
I'm looking for a wired headset which will allow us to use the music controls tat comes with it(like play/pause, skip track and answer/end calls). I found the headset Nokia's WH-701 to be adequate. I wanna know if the music controls would work on our Galaxy 3? If not please suggest me a good headset with music controls.Thanks.

Sadly it doesn't work on our phone.. try headset button control app from market .... works perfectly for me

Yes, you can. Enable headset control in PowerAMP option.

@Rapier,
Sorry to bother u again. One more doubt. What about Bluetooth headsets? They also have this problem? Normally some Bluetooth headsets comes with music controls rite?Have u tried any? Did they work with stock player? I mean w/o Headset Control App.

I was searching more on this topic and found this link. Check it out :

I hope this is useful for persons who has doubts like me

thanks i am also trying to figure this problem out may b that will help me..

Goodmorning. I am new to this forum, and also new to Android. I have a few days that I started using the SG3 and I updated to froyo thru official firmwares without any modification. Everything works fine, and because I use voice call, I instaled the Cyberon voice commander. This software works perfect without the bluetooth, but thru bluetooth handfree the software doesn't talk to the headset, only to the speaker and also when I talk it doesnt hear me to the phone neither to the bluetooth. the same problem it has with the stock voice call. I tried it on both Nokia CW1 car kit and on Sony Ericsson MW600 stereo headset. What do you think I shall do? Possibly if I install the Kyrilos rom it will solve this?
Thank you

[Q] Xperia J Headset issues....

I've had this phone for a little less than a year now and it was working fine (except the terrible screen issues before JB). Now with 4.1.2 the screen is fine but other stuff are messed up... Headsets basically don't exist for my phone. I've tried various one button headsets and most of the time clicks are not recognized.I haven't tried 3 buttons ones but I can guess the outcome... I mainly want to control my music when walking(Pause/Play etc.) . Every now and then the headset works fine for a few seconds then Google Now/Search or whatever takes control and then that is for headset controls... I tried :
Disabling Google = Google doesn't start whne listening to musc but no recognition for the button...
Various app solutions for controlling headsets = still no recognition..
Rooted and installed Headset Droid for the Google fix = nope
Different music players that come with headset control functionality = same problem.
Tried SmartConnect + SmartKey = it recognizes that is a headset on the event and starts Walkman but then again clicks do nothing..
This has all been tested with the official headset that comes with the phone...
My friends has the same phone bought from a different country. I've stress tested his phone with the same various headsets and it performs great with absolutely no issues,Google doesn't even launch like on mine..... I saw that although he is on the same JB as me (4.1.2) he is running an older Build. I was on 11.2.A.0.31 and he is on 11.2.A.0.21.
I thought I will reflash to an older Stock rom just to see if the software is the issue. I downloaded DooMLoRD Easy Rooting Toolkit (v17) and rooted my phone without any issues. Then I downloaded 11.2.A.0.21 No Brand ATA from this forum. I got Flashtool which recognized my phone and I granted it root access. I reflashed with the stock rom with full wipe on cache + data. Phone booted up fine afterwards and it worked quite good. Then I decided to try the headset again. I think you can guess what happened....Same Google issue and no headset functionality whatsoever...
I really like the phone as the sound quality is superior to my Philips mp3 player. I can also have up to 32GB sd which is perfect as I do have a lot of music BUT this headset issue makes listening to music more of a hassle then actual enjoyment... I normally like Sony but I have to admit they have disappointed me when it comes to phones... Not just because of this issue but also the screen problems on ICS which I had to fix with a app made by people on this forum...
I don't know what to do now. I forgot to mention I have not unlocked my bootloader and my phone says : Bootloader unlock allowed : No
in the system service menu. Should I unlock the bootloader with Flashtool and try to go down to ICS which will probably fix the headset and the Google issue but will probably introduce the nasty screen issue..? I don't even know if this is a software issue at all, I would like it to be but i am starting to think that I just have a faulty handset -__- I am probably never buying a phone second hand + phone from Sony again...
I also noticed ST26i_112A021_CE.ftf on 4shared. Is CE better than the no brand one I used ?
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I am a programmer myself and although this i tiny issue it is annoying me greatly..

I updated back to .31 OTA out of curiosity and headsets work alright until 5,6 times playing and pausing
music and then it does the usual no response thing until I completely reset the phone.
I was reading on Bluetooth headsets and from my understanding commands from them are on a separate audio stream from the headphone jack. Any idea if same issue will appear if I buy a Bluetooth headset ? I don't want to buy an expensive one and then regret it..

Here's what I do: Look for phillips headset app on the playstore. Install it and configure it to make the changes for a media player that you like and you'll never have problems again.
The next time you pop the headset on the phillips headset app will automatically start and it will also open up the default media player.+ you also get an extra sound boos from the app

So far I have tried :
Philips Headset app
Google Search Disabled: Probably works best, stops accepting commands once I turn the screen off or I play/pause too many times.
Google Search Enabled: The voice dialer/Google Now/Whatever will start up about 10 secs in the song and then forget about any headset control until full phone restart.
JAYS Headset app
Works alright for 5,6 times playing and pausing and then just stops registering clicks. Google Search/Voice dialer affects it in the same way
as Philips Headset.
Headset Button Controller, Ultimate Headset Controller and Headset Droid ( I tried the Google fix) act in the same manner as well....
I've tried just about anything now. I even completely removed Google Search and Voice Dialer from system apps. Even that didn't help..
I guess its just my phone and my only hope now is a bluetooth headset. Hopefully the commands from a BT headset are intercepted and processed differently...

[Q] USB Headset speaker volume control

Hi there.
I wanted to try connecting my Razer Kraken 7.1 headset to my shield via USB OTG, and to my surprise, it worked. When changing volume though, it only seems to have 2 modes: no sound at all, or louder than my desktop speakers can possibly go. I was wondering whether it would be possible for me to change my volume somehow, so that i can actually wear my headset while playing music through it. Is there some kind of solution for this?
Thanks a lot!

Short answer, you probably can't right now.. Seems like a Android limitation.
So I've been looking around and I found a thread here for the Nexus 7 (2012) trying to sort out this exact issue. Nexus 7 USB Audio Support
(and a little more)
Basically jacknorris created some custom kernels that support USB audio out for the Nexus 7, and a mod that allows for volume control.
He also made a Flashable Zip that adds just the feature you're looking for, but it's of course for the Nexus 7. Flashing it would probably mess things up, like no audio.
You could try messaging him and asking nicely if he would help you compile a fix for the Shield, he seems to have an idea of what to do with the N7, and the Shield is pretty darn stock. It's a possibility you could supply him with the files he needs to mod and then you could test them for him.
jacknorris
It looks like that thread is still active though, so you could try asking there first.
It's either this, or go and file a bug report from the shield.
Even though it's really something that Google should fix.
Settings > About Shield > Send Feedback to NVIDIA
I just sent feedback under Software Enhancement for this bug. :good:
