Bluetooth Mono Headset - General Questions and Answers

I have paired my ageing Jabra BT2020 mono (in one ear) headset to my Nexus 5x phone but it will not play music. It does however function with my Nexus 7(2013) tablet using Mono Bluetooth Router app. There seem to also be requirement for an app on my 5x to provide this functionality but the one I use on my tablet is not compatible. I would very much appreciate advice on the best and simplest way of making this connection.
Thanks.

SOLVED.
Installed BT Mono on both Nexus devices. Easy operation.
Apologies for posting.

[Q] Bluetooth a2dp autoconnect

Does anyone know of a bluetooth a2dp gateway that auto-pairs with the N1 when power up?
I've tried Sony and Belkin and heard that the Blackberry gateway all fail to do so (although on the Droid forums some people say the Blackberry does auto-pair).
I had a similar and short lived thread in Q&A, sorry for the 2nd attempt!
I tried at least 4 product from stereo headset to car adapter. I find that nexus requires that the device to support HSP for the auto-connect to work.
I only wish that someone could implement custom media streaming over bluetooth for the rest of us.
look for a device with the following profiles HSP/A2DP/AVRCP.
I'm currently using Kensington LiquidAUX K33428 Bluetooth and it works great. It auto-connects 95% of the time.

Thanks for the quick reply.
How does the audio quality compare to the others that you tried. Does the Kensington support A2DP only? I don't want it taking all my phone calls as well.
The Blackberry definitely does not auto-connect, at least with my Nexus One. The strange thing is, it auto-connects with my Palm Pre Plus every time.
It's one of the most annoying things to me about the Nexus, opening up Bluetooth Settings and having to manually connect to it every time I get in the car is actually a pain, compared to the Palm where I just get in and it's connected.
I was actually wondering if there was an app or some kind of service I could start up that would auto-connect to bluetooth devices. Does anyone know of anything like that?
I'm using a Samsung WEP870. Works just fine with my Nexus One. I am running CM6 RC3 on it, nothing other than that.
I use the Bluetooth A2DP for listening all day to podcasts & other media.
As soon as I place the headset on and power it up, it connects to the Nexus One. No problems.
I have a Sony BT5100 car radio and with stock android (or any non sense android rom) the phone automatically connected to the radio. I guess the later Sony models will be doing the same.

I think the S1 only plays music through its own speaker. Can it output to the car through aux?

As far as I know android doesn't allow for anything other than manual pairing when it comes to non HSP (headset profile) devices. I read this on their documentation page.

Lame.
What happened to it being an 'Open' OS? Seems like something an application should be able to fix.

Which bluetooth headsets work with the Optimus One?

I'm not sure which headset to buy since my Nokia bt-104 doesnt detect the phone...
I have this one http://www.jabra.com/Sites/Mobile/UK-UK/Products/Pages/JabraCLIPPER.aspx
works like a charm!!
I have successfully used over the years a Nokia BH-600 bluetooth headset with various phones (Sony Ericsson, Nokia, iPhone) and now with the Optimus One. Very good sound quality (both receiving and transmitting), long stand-by and talk time, perfect pairing with all the phones I mentioned above. It gets a bit uncomfortable if you wear it for extended periods of time - which you may since it's so light that you forget you're wearing it. 4+ years of usage and still going strong.

Mine BH-503 work perfect on P500. Maybe the sound is set to 0 on the phone or on the heatset? Try putting on some volume on both of them

Wich Rom do you use?
nokia bh-503 perfect!
I bought the BH-503 last week. The sound was awesome, with every phone except my O1 . There was like a fuzzy sound in the background :/ Does anyone know how to eliminate this? I sold the headset to my friend.
I use Noka bh-604 with p500. Works without problem.
I have one question to those who bought their Bluetooth headphones for music. How do they compare in terms of sound quality to a pair of in-ear headphones? I'm asking because I'm aware that the P500 is a little noisy when using internal ones comparing to a dedicated mp3 player, such as Samsung P3 and I'm curious about either the noise on BT headphones or other sound issues with those. Is the frequency response as it should etc etc?
Thanks.

Personally, I feel that the noise is even worse when being used through a bluetooth headset. I tried some wired Philips headphones which sound great on my iPod, but they feel kind of slightly "screechy" with my O1.
Any wireless device is normally more noisy than the wired equivalent.
I am using a s9-hd copycat from dealextreme and works well.

I'm using quite old SonyEricsson HBH-DS205 from times I used to have SE G900 and to be honest I'm more than surprised that this headset still works flawlessly.

[Q] bluetooth stereo headset compatibility?

has anyone tried A2DP bluetooth headset with controls?
I just found this nokia bh-111 copy on dealextreme:
http://goo.gl/3vw3b
Looks good for the price, but i would only buy it if the playback controls are compatible and mic works.
Has anyone tried something like this?
I have an Omnia 7 if that matters.
I am using Motorola s605 A2DP headset with my Optimus 7 without issues . Playback controls switches tracks, pauses, stops and microphone works during calls as well.
I think you will have no problems with Nokia headset.
I know that of the standard is supported, it should work, but these particular ones are a nokia KNOCK OF so i am wary.
Thanks for the answer though, i'll probably buy it and hope for the best
looks like very good

Weren't people complaining about bluetooth?

I got a new stereo system for my car with bluetooth built in and was worried it wouldn't work well with my One X judging from all the complaints. Needless to say it works flawlessly. The audio quality is the same as direct AUX input and it just worked. What were all the complaints about bluetooth about?
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
The problems I had was that bluetooth would randomly disconnect occasionally, and sometimes when I started the car it just wouldn't connect. The random drop outs didn't happen often but it did happen. I have two other Android phones that do not have this problem. I haven't had any drop outs since I updated though so it may be fixed.
That's crazy. Mine has worked flawlessly so far. Has anyone else not had any problems?

I would guess that HTC has certified A2DP on your new stereo? What model did you get? On my Sony mex-bt2800 (bought it about 3 or 4 years ago) when I pair my One X there is no Acoustic Profile for it on HTC's bluetooth stack so the phone defaults the bitpool to 32 bits causing the tinny sound you can really hear it on Cymbals sounds like your listening to a 96kbps mp3. On the AOSP Rom's like CyanogenMod they use the bluez bluetooth stack which uses a higher bitpool of 53 giving me perfect playback on my stereo.
That's basically what all the hub bub is about. If you tell me what stereo you got I may just go get me one myself so I can get this issue behind me.

Interesting, I only listen to podcasts over A2DP in the car. I have a Kia Soul 2012 with the Microsoft based UVO infotainment system. I haven't noticed any issues but I might not since as I said it's most ly podcasts. I'm going to try and push some music on it tomorrow and see how it good it sounds.

With my experience, it depends on the car or head unit manufacturer. Some function better than others. Some play with smartphones better than others.

Holy ****, i need your device info!
I work at an electronics store and have access to a cde133bt, its one of the stereos I tested my phone on.
The results are the same i've had on every other stereo, it starts to cut out after moving not even 15 feet away.
It's so bad in fact, that if i am standing right next to the stereo and I put myself between the phone and the stereo, it drops instantly.
Emailed/Called HTC, no response or solution.
Can you post what carrier youre on, android version, software version, custom roms(?), have you flashed or updated your phone with anything?

AT&T One X. Unrooted and on stock firmware. I got the stereo today and didn't change a thing on it. Simply turned my car on, paired my One X to it, and enjoyed that lossless bluetooth audio.

Bluetooth hooked up to my pioneer avic bt130 easily. sounds amazing (slacker,tune in, spotiffy, audio galaxy) with hertz audio mille components front and rear and 2 12w6s in the trunk. Jl hd 600/4 f/r and hd 1200 on the subs. I sometimes forget and think I'm on iPod (aac 256 & losless) input. Dumped all my mp3s..even the 320 bit rate. Used iTunes to convert everything with its best quality settings. Can't tell a difference from lossless. I love tha car mode with tune in. All though it would be better if I could choose the app. Have occasionally lost connection though. Not so much it's made me cuss yet.
Hox Bluetooth works crap with Cadillac SRX 2012, which was able to pair beautifully with the Dell streak 5 phone !
The OP seems incredulous or amazed that just because he paired with one stereo, and it works, that other people are reporting issues? Pretty broken logic. There are hundreds of different car stereo head units (not to mention many more hundreds of Bluetooth headsets, headphones, speakers, and other audio accessories) made by dozens of manufacturers all trying to make their units compatible with a slew of different phones. The Bluetooth standards seem loose at best, and its a bit like the wild west. As a previous reply noted, it completely depends on the brand and model of car stereo, some work better than others with the One X. And a stereo that works fine with one phone, may not work well with another.
Mine typically works well once paired, and sounds good (although once in a while it connects media only, no phone; or the skip controls on the car stereo do not work). But it does not auto-connect when I get back into the car. Its a pretty basic Bluetooth function that it should auto connects to a paired device, once it senses that device is within range and powered on. A look at the system files shows that Subaru stereo head units (as well as other car manufacturers) are blacklisted from auto connecting on the One X's Bluetooth stack.
I installed a new car stereo over the weekend that has bluetooth and my HOX connects and sounds great with it. But, like others the phone wont auto connect when I start the car. If I use the power control widget on my phone to turn off bluetooth and turn it back on it connects within seconds. Whats weird though is that both the phone and stereo will say its connected, but no audio will be played through the stereo until I turn the bluetooth off then on again on the HOX.
To be honest, this is not really a big deal to me because I only turn bluetooth on when I get in the car. So when I start the car and then I turn on bluetooth it connects fine. As long as I dont have bluetooth on before I start the car.
2010 Dodge Charger SRT8. The phone wouldn't connect no matter what I tried. I was going to wait for other roms to see if they could fix it, but the phone just caused me too many problems. It went back to best buy and I went back to a iPhone 4S and Lumia 900. Both of which work with my stereo perfectly.
Mine connects just fine to both my cars (a new Toyota Sienna and an old BMW with an aftermarket BT retrofit module). But it won't connect to my Motorokr headphones.
As someone said, this stuff is all over the map. It's not just HTC.
you only get lossless with bluetooth if you have the htc stereoclip.

[Q] Bluetooth headset for Nexus 5

With all of the articles about Bluetooth issues on the Nexus 5, I am a little nervous about buying a Bluetooth headset. What headsets do we know works with the Nexus 5 and 4.4.4? Any recommendations? I just want to use it in my car with Google Now and possibly some phone calls and streaming audio.
I've used Nokia BH-108 with my Nexus 5 and it works. Not sure about other ones. I sincerely hope you don't use the headset while driving
