Could someone explain what the BT in Cyanogen is supposed to do? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On my mac it shows the option of using the G1 as a bluetooth speaker.
Is this possible, or the other way? letting me play music over bluetooth to my computer, because that would be really awesome.
Could someone explain the features of the bluetooth abilities on this phone?
Thanks

as far as i've ever seen: bluetooth mono headset, a2dp headset, file transfer. thats all you get with bluetooth right now.

Bluetooth headset for more than just the phone on BA???

Does anybody know how to config my Blue Angel to play mp3's through my plantronics 510???
Mike Braeuer
Which ROM are you using? Some of them have the capability, some don't... some can have it added, and some can't...
If you provide a little more info then someone will be able to help
Not possible, as far as I know.
The BA can handle it, your headset can't. You can install the A2DP bluetooth profile (needed to stream music via Bluetooth) on your device, but you would still need a (stereo) headset that supports A2DP.
Other than that, I doubt you'd get much pleasure listening to mono music through one ear on a little speaker that's built for cell phone conversations...
If you'd like to listen to music wirelessly, there's a number of bluetooth headsets that support A2DP, all of them stereo and not too expensive.

Software from Kaiser to Stereo Car

I search a software for listening my music from HTC Tytn2 to Stereo Car across Bluetooth connection.
Can you help me?

you need to look at the site b4 asking questions or elaborate on your question more.
No special software needed!

As long as your "Car Stereo" has bluetooth and you connect to it as you would to a head set or anything else really.. I have a Sony MEX-BT2500 and pair my phone with the radio with no problems and then anything that plays or any sounds on my HTC will go through the stereo.
So really there is no other software needed on the Kaiser, just need a bluetooth enabled car stereo.
Hope this is what your talking about..
I dont have a BT stereo however I do have a Parrott CK3100 connected to my stock BMW stereo, can I play music through that?
You can, but because it isn't a2dp, it wouldn't be stereo. It probably wont sound all that well, either. I have a Premier FH-800BT head unit and that works wonders, especially if you need a double-din radio to replace stock. Might want to look into something along those lines if you want quality audio from your BT phone. The 3100 is probably just bit too old to be what you would like it to be.
Hope that helps,
Colin

Music Thru Car BlueTooth

Is there a app that will allow music to play thru the Bluetooth in my car?
I have a stock radio that has bluetooth, I can make & receive calls in my car using the bluetooth. However I can NOT play music on my phone and hear it thru my car speakers.
Is there a app solution to this or something else to get this to work
TIA
I would love this...
also I
I'm not understanding the question. Any music player on the G1 (with 1.5) can play music over AD2P through your car headunit. I do it all the time. I can also pause/play and track-forward/back using the headunit's controls.

Not all bluetooth devices support the a2dp profile, some just act as a headset, I've seen similar requests for people wanting audio streamed to a blue tooth headset that doesn't support a2dp either.
As long as your running 1.5 and the latest radio that goes with it, you should be able to get A2DP working without any other applications. Just pair up your car stereo with your phone and it should automatically detect the profile and start piping audio through.

Exactly, I believe my car stereo does NOT support A2DP. I have no problems playing/hearing music thru my Motorola HT820 or my PC.
As you can see (attachment)
DAVID-G: is my PC
Bluetooth Handsfree: is my car
Motorola HT820: is my headset

Long press "Bluetooth Handsfree" and select options. Under profiles you should see a Media profile and it should be checked. If you do not see this, your stereo does not support A2DP.
edit: If your stereo has a line out jack, you can get something like this to make your system A2DP capable without buying a whole new stereo.

Thanks for the tip
I checked under options and it does not show a "Media" profile
My stereo does have a line out jack, but Im not sure I want to spend $100+ on a gadget.
Im hoping some bright app developer can make a app to some how trick my stereo into thinking its a call as my phone plays music
Wishful thinking? I think not, Im sure someone can make it work. I do remember when people said transfering files via Bluetooth was impossible! But now we can with Bluex.

Not possible. The way bluetooth works is that the both devices have to have the same profile in common to communicate with each other. Your phone supports it, your car stereo does not. With OBEX, other devices supported it but the phone did not. To get this working you would either need to hack your stereo to enable the A2DP profile, get a bluetooth gateway (like what I have) or get a new stereo receiver that supports A2DP out of the box.
From experience I can say that the gateway is the best option. I got mine on sale for under $50 at buy.com and it works beautifully. My phone automatically pairs with it when my car turns on and I can make/receive calls as well as listen to music no problem.

He already said other handsets support sending audio to BT devices that don't support A2DP, it's just a matter if the underlying Android OS supports sending audio streaming to non-A2DP devices, eg faking a phone call basically, or not. Or if it can easily be hacked in by someone.
I'm guessing this may require screwing about with the underlying OS code, an app alone may not be able to do it without OS support.
At least I understand the question better now You want an app developer to create something that allows the phone to make up for what's lacking in your headunit.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the "headset" profile mono by definition? Are you cool with giving up stereo and audio quality just to get your music over bluetooth to your headunit?
I won't say it's not possible. I've been wrong before on pronouncements like that. But app development is driven by need in the Android world (usually the developer's need first). I hope there's a big enough need that someone will help you out.

The same arguments are made about MP3 v lossless compression, and it turns out people do accept these sort of limitations after all
I don't know enough about the bluetooth standards to even know where to begin making such an app, and I don't plan to start reading up to find out
While not as cheap as a BT audio gateway option, but you can get an inline BT attachment to suit non-BT enabled car radios to support A2DP and for those of you still using phones to talk to others you can even use it as a hands free car kit which uses the car speaks...

I'm glad my unit already does this. But I never use it.
Its worse than just being mono... headset profile is actually a much lower quality... phone quality.
Bluetooth A2DP Audio Gateways
I've been trying to do the same thing as OP, except my stereo does NOT have bluetooth. It does have an aux in down by the cigarette lighter. I've been googling like a fool and researching available bluetooth gateways, thanks to the poster that pointed us towards that Kensington unit. I'm not willing to spend $100 US on this functionality. I have, however, found a nice little device I plan to pick up soon.

anyway there's a long tread about 3.5 bluetooth dongle Here
I know it's old, but in case anyone stumbles on this thread, try btmono (an app on Google play) It puts audio through a mono headset such as that described above. Cheers

Help using bluetooth headset with xperia x1

Hi, i have spent some time searching now and since i couldn't find this anywhere i decided to post here, hope someone can help me.
Recently, i bought the official sony playstation 3 bluetooth headset (http://www.us.playstation.com/PS3/Accessories/SCPH-98095) and i have connected it to my xperia x1 through bluetooth (running with itje's touch-it xperience v13.2), the problem is, it only outputs sound for the voice calls, i can't listen to music on it or the normal phone sounds. I know it would be mono sound and not high quality, but i would like to listen to the sound anyway sometimes because its better then leaving it silent.
i have tried in the bluetooth configuration window, clicking in advanced, editing the wireless device profile, thre it was marked hands-free, i clicked refresh and headset appeared, i marked it, then the headset disconnects. when i reconnect it, it auto demarks headset, or it doesnt connect.
I have looked around to see if it was the bluetooth headset problem, but i have not seen anyone else complaining about this or even mentioning it can't play the phone sounds (just some complains about the ps3 sounds not outputing but thats the ps3 fault), and i have also searched to see if it is x1s fault but haven't managed to find an answer as well, so if anyone can plz help i would really appreciate it. Thanks.
thats pretty much because its no BUG.
what u want is a a2dp headset. something tells me that the ps3 headset doesn has this feature. normal headset just route voice calls while a2dp headset route everything.
actually, i didnt use the word bug because i though that might be the case
it has the headset and handsfree profile, not a2dp, but what i wasnt sure if it really needed to have de a2dp profile to output normal sounds, from what i've read it seems it is needed to output stereo high quality sounds, but just sounds with low quality would work for me, thats why im asking, i though the headset profile would be enough for that.
so if i get your message right, unless it has specifically the a2dp profile, there is no other way of making the sound output on the headset, low or high quality?
now i know there might be a way to make it work.
i was listening to some music today using the music player that comes with touchflo 3d, then i pressed the talk button of my bluetooth headset to issue a voice command (with the microsoft voice command program), then the music started playing in my headset while it was waiting for the voice command, once it got the command the music went back to the phone.
Does anyone know any way to make my headset keep playing the sounds, or could at least explain what happens when i press the talk button so i have an idea of where to look to see if find a way?
no one can help me with this? not any tip or a way to select a different output for audio or anything like that?
Also an issue with Audio Gateway
I have tested this issue on two seperate headsets, and so far can get the Xperia to work ONLY as hands free. Seperate phones sperate headsets. The other phone pushed audio thru to the headset whereas the X1 only routes calls.
I also cant find much of this on XDA or anywhere else?
Help?
Regards
i used an ad2p software downloaded from here when i had this issue with my lg ks20. But i havent the gut or im just lazy to try this app on the x1. Maybe u should give that ad2p software a try.

bluetooth a2dp help

i cant get my bluetooth (jabra bt2070) to stream a2dp via my nexus one. it seems like i can only listen to phone calls.
but i know my bluetooth can support a2dp because i was always using it on my hd2.
anyone know what im doing wrong? i tried to search but nothing came up.
i am also using the froyo rom.. (i wasnt able to get it to work in the stock and cm rom either)
anyone with help?
no1 with any insight?
Jabra BT2070 is a mono bluetooth headset... I'm pretty sure it doesn't have A2DP capabilities... afaik (and I'm pretty sure I'm not wrong in this case) only bluetooth stereo headsets have A2DP and/or AVRCP profiles...
Got this of the BT2070 tech specs..
Code:
HeadSet Profile (HFP) : Yes
Handsfree Profile (HSP) : Yes
A2DP Profile (Stereo) : No
AVRCP Profile : No
There may phones which allow streaming to mono headsets, but the N1 definitely doesn't...
ahh ok, is there any other bluetooth that i can use that is known to be able to stream music for the nexus one then?
i was just wondering about this because it was working on my hd2 so lol
there are tons of them, do a search for any a2dp/avrcp devices
so something like this should work with the nexus one right?
