wired headphones switch to speakers? - Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How to switch between speakers and wired headphones without unplugging the headphones?

AFAIK not possible with Android.

Not true. FM radio can do it. So..

Then it can be done through the app. So maybe there's an app for that...
Look for headset toggle in the play store.

Apparently VLC doesn't have the switch feature.
Couldn't find a system switch app so far.

What about the app I mentionend:

music - bluetooth to stereo possible?

just as the title says, is it possible to send music via bt to my stereo just like when i make or recieve calls?
not that i'd use this as a sole way to listen to music in my car, but i just started wondering if it were possible, and if so, how?
It's possible, but you have to make sure that your Stereo has the bluetooth profile for A2DP. It's the same pairing process, but instead of only streaming call audio it will stream any other audio too.
Also, the stereo will have a headphone icon under bluetooth preferences.
Hope this helps.
I do that all the time in my car. The sound quality is not as good as hooking up a cable through th aux jack. The nav direction also come through my car stereo.
Ah yes, I forgot about A2DP being needed... That would make my situation impossible... I'll just have to get a 3.5 mm to RCA plug for aux... Thanks guys.

I had some trouble with this, but the key for me was making my Pioneer head unit "forget" my previous phone. Now it works great!
Actually there is a way to stream music wirelessly to your car stereo: mini FM transmitters. Quite cheap on ebay. I wouldn't bet on audio quality tho.

BT headphone or headset EQualizer

Hello all
So this is the problem. since I have tab 7" I use a headet a lot. But the audio in my headset is full of bass. It's like someone speaking to me true inside a deeeeep hole. just a lot of bass. So I was trying all kind of equalizers but non of them work on BT output. So question to all of you is there a app like that.
I am running overcome ROM 4.0.0. I tried voodoo app (works great on headphones and speakers but not on BT headset. Havent really test BT headphones A2DP since my battery is dead and I just can't find my cable.) I tried a lot of EQ apps from market but non of tham have effect on BT. I also tried that DSP manager but it does not work at all. I can change settings as much as I want but nothing actually happens.
I remember that old phones without any smart OS could do that. They had in call equalizer. Funny that such a smart OS like android doesn't have something like that.
So please help. I there is no such app someone should make it.
Thank you all
Sounds like the extra booming bass is a characteristic of your BT headset as the Galaxy tab is not the source. The Tab has one of the best audio chips. Did you try with another BT headset? If you tell us which brand headset you use you may get more feedback...

It could be. Headphone is SE HBH-608 and headset is nokia BH-503 but this Nokia is not tested since I lost my charging cable. Can't find it. After I test it I will know for sure. But it could be that is because of headphone.

hi. thanks for suggestion. I tried that one and all other EQs. Non of them have effect on BT sound output. It does on a2dp BT output but that is only for listening to audio. Voice does not go via a2dp so it can't be modulated.

That's funny. I have used all EQ's with success through BT going to my BOSE Soundlink speakers.
No problem wit my BT platronics

volume+
try volume+ by meltus. it works bluetooth with my prius. it has bluetooth settings.
It was probably because of headphone. I tried headset and it is better but it also depends on other side and persons mic.
I think it is from the headset, because I had that problem earlier when I was using SE headset (I don't remember its model), but when I use SE MW600 the sound is so clear, btw if you have A2DP bt headset with 3.5 audio jack you can get different quality of sound if you only change the wired headset attached to it.

Headphone Jack Issue

I've looked at a few threads about a Bluetooth issue, but I'm not having that. I can pair a bluetooth headset and listen to music all day long. I do when I work out in the mornings as well.
The problem is when I get in my vehicle (I've tested it with regular headphones as well) and hook up a 3.5mm cable, it only sends system sounds. I cannot listen to iHeartRadio, music player, or Pandora. I'm sure any similar programs would yield the same result.
Rooted and with a custom ROM (currently Bean's but it also happened when running Synergy). Has anyone found this a little finicky?
Interesting...I assume you're using stereo Bluetooth, which works fine by most accounts.
That sounds like your hardware is just totally defective. Have you tried turning Bluetooth off and using the headphones? It may be as simple as it still sending the media stream to your Bluetooth device, which is normal behavior. As we have found out the hard way, you can't use both at the same time.
This issue mainly affects those of us without car A2DP Bluetooth that allows streaming all audio so we need to use the aux jack for media audio. When we do that we cannot use Bluetooth for calls unless we disconnect the stereo cable.

Yes it was stereo bluetooth. As far as defective hardware goes, I actually think it's a firmware/software issue. This is due to the fact that when I first installed Bean's Rom it worked again for a day. I probably went to the gym in between the days and then noticed the problem. The bluetooth is off when I'm not using my headphones.
I just placed an order on Amazon for a double din Clarion deck with just about every bluetooth profile offered (exaggeration... have you ever wiki'd bluetooth profiles?).
Thanks for chiming in! Always nice to get a reply.

App suggestion for fitness instructor

I was talking to a friend and he is a fitness instructor..
He recently started his own gym with a few friend.. and asked for the best solution to add a mic into the music system..
Currently he is playing his music from computer via wire to a bose wireless speaker (30 Touch). I could suggest him to buy a stupid expensive uhf mic system and add into his system..
However I am wondering won't it be a much better system to use his smart phone and just bluetooth it to the wireless speaker instead? I mean have a headset plug it and use it as a mic and have the both the mic audio and the music play out and stream to bluetooth speaker..
Anyone know of such app.
If there is no such app.. Is there even an app to allow mixing of mic from headset and music playback together (live) and output through headphone. If there is such thing at least I could suggest to use a headset splitter and a bluetooth transmitter to send that signal to the speaker.
He currently have an apple but if he needed to get a cheap android phone just for that use, so be it..
Please let me know.

Bluetooth Controls

I can't control my music player via Bluetooth. No pause/play/fwd/rev. Some issue for both Pairs of headphones and my bluetooth car radio. Audio p,as fine just no way to control it from the connected device.
Is it working for anyone else?

I'm listening right now to Bose QC35 and ev3rything goes fine. The player is neutron.
Search for options in your player ( settings)
For me, controls only work the first time you connect to the car. On the next drive, audio works, but not AVRCP functionality. Disabling and reenabling Bluetooth fixes it for one cycle.
Don't have that problem but maybe developer options and toggle "Disable absolute volume"? Might not work though because I'm not sure if the setting only covers volume controls or all controls but worth a shot
Do you still have this problem?
I had my S8 repaired and since then I can not control music when connected to BT. With my Sont MDR-1000X I can skip tracks and lower volume but unable to start/stop. In my car none of the controls work. Tried other headsets with the same result. Repaired everything.
Coming from a factory reset because of the repair I am not yet feeling another one. Anyone got tips?
