Bluetooth Hi Fi Speakers?

I love my XDA II.........it protects me from stealth charges, tells me where to go, gives me email/sms/phone etc, plus it's great for MP3's.
I want to use it as a Hi Fi around the house though as well...... is there any solution such as big powerful Bluetooth speakers that I can drop into the kitchen or any room I think suits?
Just an idea.....
Oh...also the ring tone on the alarm clock isn't good enough to wake me up......so any ideas here are appreciated too....!!
Many thanks
David

heres what i did.. got an mp3 with really load music ( which i like ) opened a sound edit program like cool edit pro etc then increase the decibels.. it works like a charm

Alarm Clock
Hi guys,
For the alarm clock:
pTravelAlarm is the best I have found (I am not an early bird!)
http://www.burroak.on.ca/pta.html <<< for features
Available from Handango - can't remember where I got mine from though as I didn't pay that much!
You can use your own music files for the alarm sounds (just dump the file in the correct directory)

SMALL HiFi headset.
http://www.itechdynamic.com/html/mainpage.htm

Hi guys, just something along the lines of what is being discussed in this thread, concerning music around the house - I wanted to stream music off my home network using my XDA2s's WiFi connection....and then wirelessly send it to some bluetooth receiver with a line out socket....connected to an amp + speakers....thus i would be able to CONTROL the sound using the XDA and PLAY it on my existing sound system, instead of getting seperate speakers...
Has anyone had success in implementing something like this? In principle this seems relatively simple, I guess if there is any bluetooth headset on the market with a line out facility it could also be used for this purpose...
What do u folks think?? Has anyone tried this out or know of any such bluetooth music receivers that can synch with the XDA2s??

Remember seeing an application somewhere that allowed you to use your XDA as a remote control for your PC, to control a media player, via wi-fi.... can't remember where it was though........

This is the route I will be going to control my Windows MCE via Wlan.

Bluetooth creating constant notifications

So with bluetooth on, I get a constant notification whether a device is connected or not. This is all after the MM upgrade.
Steps already taken:
- Verified reminder is turned off in accessibility.
- Cleared cache.
- Removed all BT devices
- Factory reset.
PLEASE HELP

@jasong127
Try settings > wireless and networks > nearby device scanning > off.
Let me know if this works. It uses BT even when off. I turned mine off long ago. Never had your issue and unsure if this may solve it.

That was already off. I think that when my car (chevy mylink) was connected, there's an option to "Allow Contact" or something like that. Problem is, when the truck is no longer connected, all the other options move to off, except this one.
Happens with one other device too (my home phone system). I have to unpair them and it stops. Pretty much seems like a bug to me.

I will have to test this on my ford transit the next time i use it. I do know it always resets the 911 link, which is annoying.

I'm having the same issues. Just did a factory reset and have not paired any bluetooth devices. But the minute I turn on bluetooth I start getting notifications. Help before I flush my phone.

Did you have items at one time that were paired? The way I found out the solution is to unplug ever BT device in my house and start one by one. BTW, I have 1 home phone, 3 speakers, and a computer that all use BT. Turned out to be the home telephone that was the cause of it.

Xiaomi - "Sleep Timer" functions not working

Hi, I decided to post here because I'm facing a problem for a while and either the app developer knew how to solver. I'm talking about the Sleep Timer app, speaking of which I saw a post of years ago about it.
So, whats happening:
I use this app for years and it always worked well when I wanted it to turn off Spotify. Recently, I changed my phone and now I use a Xiaomi Redmi Note 5. Since then, the app doesn't work well. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes not. That's how I'm using it now:
- I connect my phone to my Tronsmart bluetooth speaker
- Start the music on Spotify
- Start counter on the Sleep Timer app. I set it configuration to turn off Spotify and turn off bluetooth, so the speaker can auto turn off too when dispair the bluetooth and saves the speaker battery.
I used the app almost every night, setted as "no restriction" in the battery configuration area, with my bluetooth speaker. Speaking of which, last night setted the app to turn off Spotify and bluetooth as always and I woke up in the middle of night and the music was still playing. So, I setted it AGAIN, and I woke up later still in the middle of night with the music still playing, AGAIN.
I made some tests in the daytime instead of before I sleep and the app did its functions. But, its how I said: sometimes works, sometimes not.. To test if the problem was the app, I downloaded another app with the exactly same purpose and functions, and the same missfunction happened. So, it's something to do with the phone configurations too.
What I want with this topic is to see if someone could help me with this problem or at least could indicate some app with these functions that works 100% fine in the Xiomi's phones.
Thanks to anyone who can help me with this!
Here there are some screenshots

Extreme battery drain issue with Bluetooth

Hello,
I've had by Z5 since late 2015 and it's been a real trooper. Sadly it has recently (in the last few days) developed an issue where Bluetooth appears to be draining battery like crazy. I've dug around a bit on the internet and found a few people experiencing the problem but none too recently. One post suggested turning on the 'Enable Bluetooth HCI snoop log' and toggling Bluetooth on and off, then checking the log. When I turn that setting on, it creates the 'btsnoop_hci.log' which very rapidly starts filling with junk. In the space of about 20 seconds it took for me to toggle BT on and off and take a copy of the log, it had grown to 700 KB.
Below are some screenshots showing the battery usage of Bluetooth. I have a copy of my btsnoop_hci.log file too but I couldn't find a way to attach it to this thread. If there's some way I can share this, please let me know. If anyone can help me troubleshoot this issue, I would be most grateful. As far as usage / changes that might have cause this problem, I can't think of anything too crazy but here are some points:
I paired my phone with a pair of Taotronics BH22 headphones last week but have since forced my Bluetooth to "forget" this device.
I use my Sony WH-1000XM3 headphones pretty much every day to listen to music since March 2019.
I don't use my phone for anything other than messaging, and music. The apps I have installed do automatic updates sometimes -- I was actually suspecting that an automatic update that went on for one of my apps might be the culprit, but I have no idea how to check this.

I think I've figured out what was causing the problem. It was an update to 'Google Play Services'. The version that recently went on was 16.0.91
I installed the beta version (specifically, 17.1.22 (040400-245988633) beta (040400)) and since then, Bluetooth is behaving.

On-Board computer display

Hello, is there an app or a modification on the hardware to cap the connection to the original build in on board computer display? Most time it only show "other".
I would prefer to see the time and the day like when the radio is disconnected

Nobody knows what your unit is.

You have an opel. The picture is showing the onboard trip computer.
You want those values on the headunit?
Or you want the fm radio to appear to that screen?
If it is the latter then if you have attached the odb box that came with your unit you should be able to see fm info on the screen.
You will see other when on Bluetooth call or when you play from youtube or anothe application.
I have not understand clearly wwhat you want to do.
If it is the 1st you want to do then you need a Bluetooth or usb odb adapter and an application called torque. You wont get the trip computer values into the head unit but you will be able to configure torque to measure the same values more or less.

I see the FM radio when I listen to the radio, and I see "other" when I use streaming apps.
But it would be nice if we could exchange the "other" with something more usefull, like the title of the song, or, because I know its very comlicated to realize that, instead of displaying "other", showing the date would also be nicer.
With the original radio, when its turned off, the onboard computer show the date also.
My idea was to somehow block the information send to the onboard computer and automatically the onboard computer should display the date, as if the radio would be turned off.
Maybe its a stupid request but this "other" always on that screen bothers me...

You must ask for this to the dev of every app that display other.
The app should send the data for that to the canbus.

Every app, except for the build-in (radio, media player, bluetooth) show other.

Please read my above post again.
The dev of that every application has to fix his application to transmit the name of what is playing.
At least that is what I know.
