Android as bluetooth headset and/or headphones

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
Francesco

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:

[Q] Are there any remote controls for an android phone?

Hi guys-
I currently use my ipod as my primary mp3 player, and I have it connected to my home stereo. I LOVE having it on the dock, and I can use the remote control to change songs from in the kitchen while I'm doing stuff. I would like to switch out to using my phone, but I don't want to lose the ability to use the remote. It is a pain in the ass to run back into the living room every time I want to skip a song. I'm getting a new phone soon, so I was wondering if there are any android phones that you can use with a remote control? I REALLY don't want an iphone, but I'm considering it because I can use my ipod dock. Also, when I google remote for android phone, I only get results for apps that let you use your android phone as a remote control, which is not what I want. The few that I have seen also have headphones and built in mic. Seems like they are more designed for hands free phone operation while in the car. Not exactly what I'm looking for...
Thanks!
Edit: I Finally found this: http://www.examiner.com/technology-...emote-control-for-android-powered-smartphones
The list of compatible phones is quite short, though.
Has anyone tried it? Or has anyone used a different remote that you would recommend?

Does anyone know of an i/r remote that can control our android phones?
my daughters ipod charging dock came with an i/r remote that allows her to change songs from a distance with the remote. if only the dock would charge her ipod instead of giving a "this device is not a supported accessory" error... i hate apple!
i have a whole house audio system with keypads in all of the bedrooms that can transmit i/r commands back to a device to change channels/songs/etc. i have it setup to change songs on the ipod from anywere in the house which is fantastic, but the ipod won't charge on the dock .
i would love to replace the ipod with my anroid phone, but i have not seen a charging dock that also has an i/r sensor. it would be absolutely fantastic to have this option, and if anyone has any recommendations, i'd love to hear them.
thanks.

[Q] Use android device as a bluetooth headset?

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??

ENCO B046

Hello ! :highfive: I'm the newbie there and I hope this is the right pleace where to write up my problem !
I have ENCO B046 car navi/audio/video unit with Android 2.3 OS on it.
But the problem is that my units android side is stuck on boot screen and I can't figure out how to connect it to PC or how to get in boot menu.
When I connected to PC via USB wire, PC didn't show nothing at all,PC can't find the unit.
In attachemnt is system info picture that I took it before system get stuck in boot screen.
p.s. Sorry for my bad english and I hope someone of you can help me.

Maybe you need more information about device or what ???
I really can't figure out how to connect it to PC

bump !!!!

Got excited when I saw a XDA thread for this!!! But nothing substantial here to see.
I have one of these units. I pictured a Android environment where I had web in the car, could load any music payer I wanted, sat nav and endless upgrades. I now run the unit and bluetooth to it via my phone to get audio on all speakers. Any 3rd party mp3 player only players out front speakers and not all 4 speakers! And there is no built in mp3 player part of the car interface overlay.
Disappointed is an understatement and the support from manufacturers is laughable!!
Be very interested to work with some at hacking these together and try fix numerous issues.

Is there a way to output HDMI to my phone, or to stream from a TV to my phone?

Hey everyone. I see tons of options for streaming the display from my phone to my tv, but what about the other way around?
In my situation, I am trying to get remote play working for my PS4 to my android phone, but am encountering issues getting a Dualshock 4 controller to work properly with my phone.
If I can't get this resolved, another option would be to get a playstation TV and attach it to my bedroom tv, but it's tiny, and also about 20 feet away from the bed. Not a great option for playing games. However, if I could use the PSTV and output to my phone, that would be awesome.
Is there something that either can clone the display/sound output of a TV, or even better, something that would allow my phone to directly act as a receiver of an HDMI signal from the PSTV?
Trying to google for options leaves me empty handed because most people are concerned with outputting their phone's display to their television, and I want to go in the opposite direction.

I have the very same question
I'm curious as to why I wouldn't 've able to directly stream what is on my tv to my phone. The PS3 has a controller that works through walls from 20+ ft away, all I want to do is be able to watch through my phone when I'm outside/ in another room.
I find it mind blowing that there isn't a single answer on Google after searching for hours.
