Not sure where this question should go, some maybe someone could have a look and move it for me please?
I have an older Parrot handsfree car kit that was already built into my car when I bought it.
It works fine with android phones.. currently a poco x3 pro.. so I can make and recieve calls and it all happens through nice speakers I can hear while driving..
Great...
Lately someone called me on with WhatsApp while I was driving and I was amazed, not only did it auto answer but the call worked just fine.
That got me thinkin and I've now been able to get my daily standup call on Teams going in the car.. which is a godsend.
So, now that I realised that software calls other than just phonecalls work with the Parrot .. I 'm wondering why I cant get Player FM to play podcasts through the handsfree?
I don't have bluetooth in the builtin stereo and the cars dash is only moulded for the stock stereo. But it would be brill to be able to listen to something other than rubbish radio ads all the way home..
So I'm just wondering whats different between media player apps on the phone and 'phone' or communication apps? What is it that allows WhatsApp to send sound through the handsfree but not PlayerFM (or Pulsar) ??
Is it a routing thing? A configuration thing?
Is it anything I could change easily?
Thanks

All I want is a bluetooth headset for both ears that I can use to listen to music and to make calls with. Basically I want a bluetooth version of the headset that came w/ my xda II. Does anyone know of anything like this? If not, does anyone know how I might be able to "modify" a regular headset to be used via bluetooth. I want to be able to listen to music and take calls, but i want to be able to listen to music on both ears, not jus one. I don't even care if it's mono, i just want another speaker for my other ear. Please help if you can at all.
There certainly seems to be a gaping hole in the marketplace.
These people are even selling a design for some bluetooth stereo headphones, but little else comes up on a quick Google!

Hi I have a new car stereo which pretends to be a a2dp headset, I use it for making hands free calls but my phone.
I also use my phone as my satnav and want to be able to hear directions but when connected to the stereo if i want to hear them i need to select bluetooth audio, but I also want to be able to listen to my radio/cd/mp3s.
Is there a way to tell my phone to use its speaker for all sound but the phone calls, in which case use the headset(stereo).
If i cant do this normally is there some software out that can do this?
If not is this possible to code myself I have some experience with wm development but nothing with regards to sound, I.e. can I listen for when a call is coming in and change sound modes?
Another option which will work just as well would be to enable both outpiuts at the same time is this possible?
Hi friends,
I own a HD2 running Android and the only thing that I couldn´t find a solution was to listen to my music and podcasts though my Nokia BH-104 mono bluetooth headset.
On WinMo I used a very simple program which gives me the option to stream the audio to the BT earpiece or not. But I haven´t find anything like this to Android.
Am I missing something or it´s not possible to do this?
Thank you!
Nobody else has this problem?
I had the same problem, I use to use a regular bt earpiece through my winmo phone but on my Hero I had to get the new moto h17 earpiece to listen to music or in my case Howard Stern through the earpiece, On an android phone the earpiece needs to be A2dp.
Oh, what a shame! =/
My friends, I opened this thread, however nobody was able to help me. Although I have performed a deep search on google and I was able to find a program that just does what I ever wanted!!!
It´s called Super BT Mono Froyo Pro and can be found on the Android Market. It costs only $2.99 and it´s worth each cent.
The only advice I can give is: before disconecting the Mono BT earpice/headset, open Taskiller and shut down the program. Otherwise, Android will crash and reboot.
Anyway, now I can listen to my podcasts!!! Yahoooooo
Hi,
I'm wondering if there is any way to stream audio music and/or FM radio from Windows Phone 7 (I have the HTC HD7) to a non A2DP Bluetooth headset (I have the Jabra EasyGO).
It seems that I can only make and receive calls with it.
I've searched all over the place (and web) and cannot find a way to do that.
The only way is to get a new Bluetooth headset with A2DP capability?
Is there is a workaround, please let me know.
Thanks.
I don't know of one. As far as I know, the Headset profile is mono-channel only (plus another channel for the mic) anyhow, and probably quite low bandwidth, so it would likely sound awful.
Thanks for your answer GoodDayToDie.
But I don't mind for quality... Actually I'm not interested to listen for audio.
I just want, for example, to hear drive directions when I'm driving using navigation software (Navigon) instead of hearing from the loudspeaker.
Hmm... I thought the phone *would* use Headset profile for driving directions. Weird. I find the WP7 implementation to be so bad that I prefer to keep using a 4-year-old Garmin Nuvi instead, but I could have sworn I tested it and it came over the BT (and my car only has Headset, not A2DP). Maybe poke around in Settings?
Alternatively, if your car has Aux In, you could use a ripping cable (double-ended headphone cord, they're very cheap) and then the phone will play instructions over the cable into the car's stereo. This is also a great way to use the phone's music player, including Zune Pass if you have it, to play music in the car (I do this all the time). It uses less battery than having Bluetooth transmitting constantly would anyhow.
Hi there,
I want to have my GNote to send all audio over bluetooth to my car (new Alfa Giulietta) which has the Fiat Blue&Me system.
The phone and car are connected and I can do phonecalls within the car, so this
setup works.
I've found a programm called BTMono which should work, but not with my setup.
If I switchon BTMono, the phone becomes quiet ut there i no sound from the car stereo.
Somebody else has done it with blue&me, and he gets a unknown phone call
in his car-screen when he redirects the audio (hesh.am/2012/04/stream-audio-from-an-android-phone-to-a-fiat-equipped-with-blue-me-via-bluetooth/)
I think the car must think that it's an actual phonecall, so the phone must send the proper commandos to the car.
Does anyone have any suggestion on this?
same here
It happens the same thing here. GM Cruze LTZ. Wouldn't it be that BT on it wouldn't be able to stream audio, just phone calls?
Normally it would
Normally it would, but with apps like BTMono it should be possible to stream audio to a bluetooth headset or carkit like the Parrot.
So I thought that blue&me could work for me also, but it doesn't
