You're going to have to clarify what you mean "over my bluetooth" over your bluetooth what... stereo... headset?
If you mean stereo you have to pair your bluetooth stereo with your phone... Once paid it should have asked you if you want to connect it via A2DP which is stereo bluetooth (ie all the sound from your phone will be routed to the stereo) then any phone calls or music or GPS directions will be routed to the new audio source. Read the manual of your unit and it should tell you how to pair it.
If you are just trying to pair it with a headset their is a cab file you can install that will have the stereo sounds (as mentioned above) be routed to a headset. I havnt had to use that in ages and ages though so I dont remember what it was called. You'll have to do some searching. What it does is it takes all the audio from your phone and makes it so it can play on simple mono headsets, as opposed to connecting via A2DP to a unit that can actually play stereo audio

is there possibility to use cable headset like BT headset with AVRCP?
BT stereo headset are too big and not cheap.
I would like to control mediaplayer from headset
I do not need A2DP because I need only to listen audiobook, not music, so quality isn't so important.
Mono BT headset (I have jabra130) doesn't work with audio streaming on my Himalaya, and they doesn't support AVRCP profile.
any idea?
AVRCP is a bluetooth profile. If your headset is not bluetooth then it will not have AVRCP.
maybe something similair?

haven't met with any solution so far.. simply these devices haven't anything to control with excpept the radio waves.. it has only jack/etc. with these you cannot control anything.
Some headphones has an additional button which can be used to answer talk. Jack connection has additional place to use it. is it possible to catch pushing this button programmatically?
So I have a 8525, very new to it. I am using sleuths latest WM6 ROM. I paired my plantronics bluetooth handsfree which supports both profiles "handsfree and headset" it paired as handsfree and works for calls as expected. But I have yet to figure out a way to pipe all audio to the headset or pair it as a headset. I can pair it as a headset on a PC, but not the 8525. I remember having this issue with my 2125 and having to get some software to allow this, I assumed with all the stereo bluetooth work and that this was a pocket pc and not a smartphone that this was not an issue any more.
I tried searching but so many posts come up for bluetooth headset or handsfree, not having much luck.
Which headset are you using?
I have the plantronics voyager 510, works fine as the handsfree with the phone and sleauth wm6 rom. Just trying to figure out the way to get the headset side to work so I can listen to audio books and podcasts.
I will keep searching, keywords get me results just going to have to keep sifting.
You need a headset with AD2P profile or your gonna need to get some hack to route all bt audio to a mono headset.
Is there such a hack? I have the Plantronics 520 bt headset which works really well with voice, but won't play any music. I've tried all the various cabs from this forum but none has worked. The "wireless stereo" option in the bt settings when I pair it to my 8525 is grayed out ... does this mean that the headset cannot do music at all? Even though I really like this unit, if that's true, I'll need to return it and find one that does.

I'm pretty sure pocket player supports mono bluetooth headsets. Bad thing is it costs $20. Good thing is you can try it free for 30 days to make sure it does work. Or you can goto amazon and pick up the Jabra BT620 headphones for under $40; they work great for me.
Hi!,
I have a HTC Touch Pro 2 that I usually pair, via bluetooth, with my car. When this connection is made, a message shows up on the HTC’s screen informing that the connection does not assure some sound functions. Nevertheless, all the phone functions work great.
The problem is the gps. I bought a few days ago the gps software NDrive v10, and after a few tests I realised that when the HTC is paired with the car, there is no sound from the NDrive. I open NDrive and I can’t hear a single instruction!
The solution is turning off the bluetooth so I can hear the instructions from the NDrive, but this way I have no handsfree system for the phone…
Is there any way of solving this problem, having the HTC paired with the car, and at the same time, hearing the instructions from the NDrive?
Thanks!
MM
Are you pairing both Hands-free and Stereo BT profiles when you connect to the car? Maybe that program requires the Stereo profile to route sound through your system. Otherwise, only phone functions will be routed. My phone automatically pairs the Hands-free profile when I get in the car, but if I want to stream music from the phone to my car stereo I have to manually start the Stereo BT profile.
when you mentioned the car's BT profile I went and check the car menus, and I found one (that I missed previously) that gives the option of listening to the sounds from the HTC. Whether it is music or gps!
But I still have a small question. When the menu that I mentioned above is select I can only listen to sounds from the HTC. This means that when I'm listening to the gps I can't hear radio or cd player from the car...
Nevertheless, thanks for the help!

On the HTC you can pair the phone and the stereo. If you disable the stereo on the HTC, that may get you what you are after.

That's because the radio can only have one input active at a time, and when the phone is connec ted via BT in stereo mode, that's all it can handle. It doesn't matter if you're streaming music or GPS directions from the phone.
I am sure this is not specific to the SGS3, but I swear this used to work with my S2.
My 2006 VW doesn't have an AUX input so I use one of the FM Transcievers. It works well.
But...I also use a bluetooth headset while driving.
What I want to happen is to be able to answer calls with my bluetooth headset. Right now while the FM thing is plugged into the headphone jack, the callers voice is sent over the headphone jack and on the stereo. It is as if my bluetooth headset is disabled while the headphone jack is used.
Is there any way to use the headphones to listen to music, but use the bluetooth headset for calls?
BTW, I am using PowerAmp.
Have you tried changing the order in which you connect the 2 devices. Try making sure you connect the transmitter before connecting the bluetooth headset. You may also need to edit the properties of the bluetooth headset and disable a2dp to prevent music from going to the headset. If all else fails, there should be a button during a call that you can use to switch between bluetooth, speakerphone, handset. Not ideal while driving, though.
One thing Android needs is a proper mixer control panel...

Actually the Headset button is lit up on the in call screen, as if the bluetooth headset is connected for the call. Unfortunately it is still routing through the headset/handset mic.
The subject says it all. Can I route audio through Bluetooth A2DP and the phone's speaker simultaneously? I want to keep my phone connected to my car's audio system via Bluetooth voice and A2DP. But sometimes I want to switch to XM Radio or other sources. When I do that of course, I lose audio prompts from Google Navigation.
Is this possible?

I'm looking for the same thing. I can get audio through Bluetooth and have notifications go to speaker at the same time, but I can't get other media to go to speaker at the same time.
I would also be satisfied with a widget that lets me toggle the A2DP status of the Bluetooth connection on and off. It would not be the end of the world if I needed to toggle the A2DP off when I switch to another radio source and toggle back on when I go back to Bluetooth as the source in the car.

If you ask me I'd say it's possible.Whenever my phone is connected to my stereo through A2DP, the music is played through loudspeakers only by default. However, when there's an incoming call and my ringtone is being played I can hear it through loudspeakers AND the phone speaker, which creates a pretty cool surround effect. I'd really love to make my music player interact with all the speakers like this all the time. I took my chance installing various apps like SoundAbout to help me figure it out, all to no avail. Any ideas?
