Help with blue tooth music streaming

Hey All,
I have a Diamond, and a cardo rider Q2 for my motorbike helmet. They pair up nicely for phone calls, but I cannot get music to stream to the helmet.
All other functions work fine. If I press a button on the phone the sound of the button comes through.
The annoying thing is that my friend has a N95 and it works just fine, so I know the headset is capable.
Is there some setting that I need to change? Or a download to fix this?
Any help would be appreciated. And please take it easy on me as I am not very capable with technology.
Thanks In advance
Adam

Adam,
Double click on the icon of the paired headphones on the bluetooth screen and make sure that Wireless Stereo is ticked.
The system is using two profiles- one for phone calls (headphones) and the other for music (Wireless Stereo). Yout helmet BT earphones should be able to switch in between as long as they are enabled.

Hey CD, thanks, I tried that, but..
When I do that it only gives me the option of "hands free".
If I plug in my wired HTC head phones while maintaining the blue tooth connection to my helmet and play music the music comes through the wired headset, but when I try to voice activate an outgoing phone call the music changes from the wired headset to the bluetooth headset temporarily.

I have the same problem (posted on another thread) Jabra 320's I use to cycle to work, worked OK with my SE W880i. But like you the TD only registers 'hands free', I have checked the profile in BT and it only shows hands free, there is no BT Stereo box to tick/untick. I have tried installing/uninstalling and using a third party BT program (recommend in a previous thread) and have just upgraded to the new official Rom all to no avail.
I think the TD likes some stereo headset's but sees some others as just a mono handsfree unit.

I have the same Jabra 320's... finally got them working as Wireless stereo pressing the main button again and again during pairing... I didn't know it was going to work - It was out of frustration!!!

I tried several times with my 320's (deleted, re-installed, tried different ways/software) all to no avail.
There is a software upgrade for the 320's on the Jabra site but you need a special usb connector to flash the unit.
In the end I picked up the newer BT3030 cheaply on e-bay and they were recognised straight away as Handsfree and stereo BT streaming.
Both the 320's and 3030's have the A2DP profile, so not sure why the don't see the 320's correctly?
So happily cycling to work again with the BT3030 and listening to BT stereo.

In order for you to do what you want your headset must support A2DP Bluetooth profile (and even if it does it may not work!). That is the profile needed to send stereo music from the HTC. Most handsfree units do not do that - they just support headset and handset Bluetooth profiles.
There is a utility available called BTMusic that can be downloaded free from here. This will allow music to be sent using the headset or handset Bluetooth profiles, and it worked with my Parrot car kit, so it may work for you. The problem is that it is mono only and the quality of the sound is not brilliant - after all these profiles were never designed for that.
So the alternative is to find a new headset that supports both handsfree and A2DP profiles and works with both.

umm yea... i went through EVERY SINGLE thread this thing has. none of the programs work for me period.

[Q] [Help] HTC Desire wired headset compatibility

So I just bought HTC Desire and noticed that my wired Nokia WH 205 headset does not work (distorted sound, works ok only when headset button is pressed, normal functions do not work obviously).... and it worked fine with Samsung I5700 (also android)
From what I've read it seems that only iPhone headsets are somewhat compatible with HTC Desire so if anyone could confirm:
all iphone headsets will work (headphones +mic)
with all iphone headsets the main button (receive call/end call/ next track) will work
other buttons MAY work
Are there any software fixes/ROMs that help with headset compatibility?

I can confirm that all Nokia and Sony-Ericsson wired headsets I've tried (4-5 models from each) does not work
(I know this is not what you were asking, I hope it helps anyone reading the thread)

For now I can confirm that apple headset works (main button+mic, not volume buttons)
I'll test with EP-630i in few days
PS and to disable redial (double headset button click) use this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.kober.headset

EP-630i does work with HTC Desire

If anyone finds a good headset with additional (working) controls (volume maybe) please add info here

I have a htc legend with a nokia headset and a similar issue, the mic apparently works, but sound is low unless I'm pressing the button
from androidforums.com/htc-droid-eris/39853-wired-headsets.html
Just a note-- Not ANY will work. It should be compatible with headsets that work on iphones, but not ones made for Nokia (the ground and mic wires are reversed, so you won't get microphone if you use a headset made for Nokia).

is this correct?

yes, only iphone headsets will work

he says it doesn't work because the wires are reversed, but when I press the button it works fine, also plugged in the computer works fine too
I would guess this would be a software problem

[Q] How to pair with Bluetooth headset in phone mode?

I just got a Bluetooth headphone/headset (with mic) to use with my GT7+ (GT-P6210 wi-fi only) and my semi-smart phone. The headset (Motorola MOTOROKR S305) has three different pairing modes: music only, phone only, and both.
When I pair it with my little phone, it automatically pairs as both. It works fine as a phone headset (mic and earphones), and it works fine as a stereo headphone with the phone's music player.
When I pair it with my GT7+, it automatically pairs as music-only. There is no microphone function. With Bluetooth off, I can make calls using the GT7+ built-in mic and speaker and the GrooVe IP app. No problems. But with the Bluetooth headset paired, I just don't get the mic function. I can hear the phone audio in the earpieces, but the mic is dead.
Is there any workaround? Is there a way to get the GT7+ to identify itself as a phone-capable as well as music-capable device for the purpose of Bluetooth pairing? (That's what I think must be missing.)
TIA.

I can't speak for that particular headset but I successfully use a jabra (phone headset only) and GV with my tab plus. However, before I had a A100 tab and I had similar mic problems with the same jabra headset...so the whole compatibilty thing seems to be hit or miss.
I assume you checked settings to confirm there are no options to adjust mic? Also, you might see what happens if you pair and use GV right after boot.

I did check settings and I didn't find anything relevant. I also tried pairing while GrooVe IP was running and logged into GV. I'll try that again right after boot. Thanks.

[Q] Bluetooth in call volume very low

Hi all,
I have been suffering the following problem for several weeks already, I hope someone can help me to get it solved. I have a parrot bluetooth car kit installed in my car (mk6000 model) which is able to play music on stereo.
When I play music the volume level is pretty good, as good as when I use the speakers or wired headphones. However, the in call volume is extremely low, no matter if the Nexus was playing music right before the call or in stand-by (with wired headphones or no accessories in-call volume is fine). This also happens to both incoming and outgoing calls.
I have tried to unpair and then pair again the device but it is still the same. Also installed the Bluetooth Volume application with no luck. I have not checked with bluetooth headphones but I assume that I would get the same issue.
I am surprised that nobody posted this before (at least I could not find anything) and I am wondering if this is only happening to me.
Can anyone give me some advice?
Thanks!

Anybody having this problem?
Thanks.

I don't answer when I'm driving but sometimes when I do answer, the volume is the same as the music playback volume...
I have used Nokia's old wireless headphones with my n5 and the sound is pretty decent...

I don't know how deep you have dove into your nexus experience but this would help:

It is quite weird, can you please tell me which bluetooth car kit you have installed?

Thanks, but I am not sure if this would work for me. I just need the volume in-call boost when bluetooth is connected. I want in-call speakers or wired headphones volume remain as is. I do not want any change for music streaming volume (bluetooth or speakers). Is this possible?
Thanks!
