Playing Nexus 5 audio (MP3) through a mono Bluetooth headset - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there, I was previously able of routing ALL Android sounds to my mono Bluetooth headset on my previous Android devices with this free app (Mono Bluetooth router https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.maxistar.monobluetoothfree) but it no longer works with my new Nexus 5. Most of the sounds are going through just fine (TuneIn radio, GPS navigation, Flash videos, etc) but NOT MP3/M4A and I tried using both the default Google Play Music app and ES media player app for example. For some reasons, anything that has to do with MP3/M4A won't go through, would someone know why this is happening? Any fix/suggestions/app to try?
Thank you all for your time and support,

Sony Ericsson MW600

Just been reading that the MW600 works on the Nexus One, but not sure about the Desire ?
Also, is it possible to get the song info displayed using either the built in media player, or a third party one ?
MW600 works on my desire fine for calls, i have not tried music to be displayed
Thanks. Does the music player work fine with it also (excluding display) ?
Please report if music is stuttering. I prefer to use bluetooth headsets for music, but if the A2DP stuttering issues are not fixed yet, I am staying away from them.
Can anyone confirm that the headset shows the songtitle on the Desire?
thanks
MW600 works fine as a music player and no stutters as such but i only listen for about 40mins each day. Still having a few issues with song information and odd controls using third party player.
Which third party player shows song information ?
@A|ex : "odd controls using third party player"
What do you mean by that ?
Could you do this functions : next/previous song, play/plause, volume with the mw600 ?

I have a (pre-release) MW-600. I can confirm the songtitles are NOT displayed with any of the pre-installed players. Play, pause, next, prev,ffwd frev do work perfectly and the audio quality is very acceptible once u switched the earbuts (not sure if they'll be better in the retail package).
Also what is NOT currently supported is the 'low latency'-mode (A2DP without error correction). Therefore you can notice that audio and video (or games) are not perfectly in sync (a small audio delay is noticeable).
I am sure Android 1.6 in the Xperia X10 will have these issues covered, since MW600 is shipped together with it in some retail packages - hope SE will be kind enough to share these bluetooth profiles in Froyo ... (or HTC will catch up, afterall HD2 supports all of the mentioned above).
I have seen the X10 used with the MW600, and phonebook lookup does not work on it either.

how do you stream music to MW600? I paired my MW600 to Desire, but when I play music there is no sound in the headset...
I can confirm that SonyEricsson MW-600 bluetooth headset works beautifully with HTC Desire. Tried to see how far away I could play music (through Spotify) and it didn't make any hickups at all about 25 meters away!
i'm also having problems with my MW600
the desire will pair to it, although it never asks for the pin ..but wont connect. so i can't transfer phone audio playback to the headset . useless
think maybe i have a faulty unit.
wont connect to my SE W610i, nor my ps3 ..errors out.
hmmmm
got mine from AccessoryJack ...

It should do it by default if its pair to the device, you can tell if its paid as the bluetooth icon on the phone has small triangles next to the bluetooth icon and hte mw600 has a picture of a phone on to say its paired.
if you play music via default music app or other it will stream/ play to the headphones.
it works with spotify, lastfm, mp3s etc fine.
If someone calls you hear the beep, and it auto holds the music.
Do you have the volume turned up on the device? I changed my headphones for better as the default ear pieces were so uncomfy and cheap.
I was thinking when u use a blue-tooth headset will you lose your FM radio functions?
Because the wire of normal earplugs functions as the antenna for the FM radio?
I'd really want to know this because i listen to the FM radio allot so this is a really important thing to me.

I managed to pair it and stream music (I think battery charge wasn't enough when I was trying to pair it for the first time), quality is pretty good for me...
But I found the following BUG: when I have incoming call while listening to music (I use standard Desire music player), I can't hear caller's voice. If I stop music and call back, than it works fine.
Can somebody test it?
i juz got the MW600 today from mobilecityonline, but i got a few problems...
1) how can i pair MW600 with windows 7?? it keep sayin driver not found...
2) when i paired it with ps3, it doesnt stream any music or video sound at all which the ps3 is playing...
3) how can i get song title display on the screen when i pair it with my X1?? i tried using WMP, CorePlayer, and the experience panal... but all doesnt work...
4) i do c a clock once in a while, but the time is wrong, wat is the excatly buttons to display the clock and set the clock??

This works fine for me using hte standard HTC music player, Do you pair the device to your phone as does it display as being paired on phone and device?
you should here the beeps in your headphones when someone is trying to call.
When they do call it sounds as if htey can hear you but you cannnot hear them, are you sure your using the device mic or the phone mic?
It sounds to me your device is not paired correctly or you have connected device to the phone.

What mode are you using to pair it with windows 7, this is not the win7 forum!
2) when i paired it with ps3, it doesnt stream any music or video sound at all which the ps3 is playing...
Again what mode are you using and have you read the manual? Again this is not a ps3 forum
3) how can i get song title display on the screen when i pair it with my X1?? i tried using WMP, CorePlayer, and the experience panal... but all doesnt work...
Install smartWatchM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=362218), why post about the X1 in the HTC desire forum?
4) i do c a clock once in a while, but the time is wrong, wat is the excatly buttons to display the clock and set the clock??
You will find the answer to the time displaying etc on your other device but not in the HTC desire forum.

[Q] Bluetooth

Can I play music on my Zune through my Bluetooth?? Anybody got a clue thanks
Zune hardware devices don't have BlueTooth radios, so no. I assume you mean playing music stored on your Windows phone.
You'll need to be more specific than "my Bluetooth" as there are many, many Bluetooth devices, and most of them only support a few profiles. For example, Bluetooth headsets and Bluetooth-enabled cars will usually support the Headset profile, which WP7 will use for calls and voice commands/text dictation, but will not use for music playback. If that's what you have, then no.
However, there are also Bluetooth headphones, speaker docks, and some cars that have support for a Bluetooth Audio profile (properly, A2DP), which Windows Phone 7 can use to stream music playback.
yes you can.

Bluetooth Issue

I used to have a Galaxy SII that was able to connect to my car stereo through bluetooth with no issue.
With the Tmobile One S, often time my phone does not full connect it will do things like only connect for phone use but not for listening to music. I also used to be able to control moving the songs and I can no longer do that. I also cannot get the metadata to show up on the car display.
Many times a reboot will hook the audio up and I can listen to music, but I still can only go forwards and backwards by using the phone.
Is anyone else having issues like this?
Yep, I got the same issues....A2DP sync problem.
Does it sync your phone contacts too. If so change what contacts are synced only allow google contacts. This was a solution for a similar issue in another thread.
Sent back in time to find Marty.
No, I don't sync my contacts...worked perfectly with MyTouch4G...also noticed headset droid and jays headset control take away Bluetooth control capability...anyone know a work around besides disabling?
Same issue here with my bluetooth headset (Cardo scala rider G4) and HTC One X.
Since installing Jays headset control for my Jays One+ (which is a one-button wired headset) my bluetooth headset control fails big time. I can only use my headset play functionality and after disconnecting the headset the music player starts playing music again within a couple of minutes.
I'll try to disable Jays headset control and let you know if this resolves my bluetooth problems.
how do/when do you select which contacts to send to headset? Didn't see an option for this in Bluetooth settings.
I received the Tmobile update today and I still have the issue of the phone not transmitting the metadata to my radio. Interestingly enough when I stream Pandora the data from pandora shows on my radio display.
Do any of you all know of a ROM that will allow the metadata to be sent from my phone to the radio?
This is the only thing that really annoys me about this phone. Thinking of selling it when the SIII comes out.

Streaming via Bluetooth

Has anyone successfully managed to get the phone to stream music via Bluetooth. I've tried my sound bar, Moto S11's, cars, trucks, SUVs with no luck. I can take calls on all, but no music via bluetooth streaming.
Do it everyday, with both my car stereo for calls and music and also in house with small bt speaker in my kitchen.
Never had an issue with connection once

I do it everyday as well. Listen to music and podcasts over LG Tone+, and it works in my car with Ford Sync too. The volume is jacked when using it with a stereo headset but that's another issue.

Used it in my car several times. Under the Bluetooth settings for the device your connected to, make sure its checked to use a media device.
Do this everyday as well. I connect to my Mazda 3's stereo as well as Bluetooth speakers at home without a single hitch.
Connecting is not the problem. Phone connects fine. All my cars recognize the connection because I can make calls from my cars. I get my calls too. I just can't stream music to my head units. Works fine with my HTC One call and streaming. Just can't get the streaming to work.
I have a budget JVC head unit for my car, and it always drops the signal. (Has done it with the One, GNex, iPhone...)
While the phone is "connected" toggle the source on the Bluetooth receiver, meaning - switch it to AUX, then leave it for a couple seconds, switch it back to Bluetooth and see if that helps. Also when there is music playing, crank up the volume on the phone (volume rocker) because there is a separate volume level for Bluetooth sound versus ringtone volume.
Hope this helps in some way

Ahhhh, your car may not support the media profile, just phone.

Nope. They all support it. My HTC One streams music no problem. I've resetted the phone multiple times and now my Bluetooth file exchange is not working. I'm going to have to RMA it. Which sucks.

In the Bluetooth settings for your car, so you have the box ticked for streaming music? There are two boxes for mine in the seeing profile for my car ... handle voice calls and music stream.
I have switched off voice calls for my Bluetooth speaker in house using the profile settings for that device

Bluetooth Music Streaming sounds Off Key

I have a Nexus 5 using Google Play Music, streaming through bluetooth on a 2014 Mazda 3 w/ Bose stereo system. For whatever reason when I'm streaming music over bluetooth, the sound frequently becomes off key. I've used the same phone and program over auxiliary cable and the sound is just fine, but it's a pain to use since it means disconnecting the music app from bluetooth.
