Bluetooth Handsfree / Headset?

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.

[Q] Skype doesn't route audio to headphone?

I'm not sure if it's a software or hardware problem, but Skype on my friend's Desire HD always route the audio to the earpiece rather than the headphone he plugged in. However my Nexus S doesn't have this problem. We are both running CM7 RC1. Does anyone know a solution to this?

Well, it turns out if a headset is used, Skype correctly routes the audio to the headset. However, using an ordinary stereo headphone doesn't work, only the notification audio from Skype goes to the headphone, but not the in-call audio. I wonder if it's an audio driver issue, Nexus S doesn't have this problem at all.

From what i understood, your headset will be used (with stereo) if it supports A2DP.
Else, some apps permit to redirect audio to most BT headsets, but in mono. Super BT Mono, Bluetooth Switcher, Choice Dialer, Bluetooth Audio Widget, and perhaps few others, seem to do it.

Music Over Bluetooth?

I have 2 Bluetooth earphones and neither lets me hear music. Is this possible? Do I need to get an expensive stereo piece? Mine were each around $50. Could anyone recommend a good value one?
TIA.

To stream music the Bluetooth device needs to support the A2DP profile. Most Bluetooth headsets that use for calls don't support this thats probably why its not working. Just look for a stereo headset that support A2DP and you should be in good shape.

best buy has a few nice head sets like this. I use one myself.

Thats just one they have

There is an app called SuperBTMonoFroyoPro (all one word lol) in the market. It costs about 5 or 6 dollars. You can stream music to a non-a2DP headset with that app. The headset acts like it's in a call but the phone transmits music/audio to it instead of calls. You can still receive a call.

Bluetooth out of sync with audio?

Hello. I have a Desire HD with android 2.2.1.
Last year I had a HTC Touch HD with windows mobile. I bought a chinese copy of the jabra bt3030. The sound was out of sync with any video I could play. I didn't try with other phones, anyway I didn't spend that much for the headset, so I just sold it on ebay....thinking that that's why people don't buy chinese copies. OR maybe it was a problem of the transmitter of the Touch HD...so I didn't buy anything else and stayed with the normal wired earphones instead of having another stereo bluetooth headset.
NOW
I have the Desire HD, and bought THE ORIGINAL jabra BT3030. EXACTLY the same problem: youtube, trailers from MDB, .avi TV-rips played with rockplayer ---- EVERYTHING has this horrible out-of-sync audio which makes it impossible to watch even 5 second of a video without getting crazy.
I mean is that a problem of every stereo headset? IS that too much information to be sent to the headset? What can I do to make the sound sync with the video?
I have a stock rom.
Does anyone have this kind of problem? With which phone? With which headset? Is there any support forum for the Jabra BT3030 (it is the dog-tag one) ?
Last time it was a cheap 20$ chinese copy....this time is a retail 65$ boxed jabra....and I EXPECT it to work properly...

maybe you can set up the connection as new. or reset to factory settings

what do you mean by 'set as new' ? I paired the devices today for the first time. Reset to factory settings...is something i would rather not do

BT connections have a small delay.
You can try to set some BT settings to create a smaller buffer or something...

for instance? which BT settings could I adjust?
About the delay: i used until now a normal mono bluetooth headset, which is not A2DP so cannot reproduce media content (music or games sound and so on). There is a paid app on the market called BT Switch. This app redirects every sound of the phone to the mono bluetooth headset, allowing you to listen to music, hear the GPS directions, watch a video on youtube with the sound on the mono headset and so on.....well, there isn't any delay. That's why i can't understand why the stereo headset has so much delay....ok, it is stereo, more informations to send and so on...but the mono one has NO delay at all.
But of course a stereo solution with good earphones is much better than a mono with the low quality sound of every mono headset, which are built only to use the phone and not reproduce any kind of media sound...

[Q] Bluetooth handsfree and using music player when driving

So should I be hearing music through my handsfree?
I used my phone for GPS for the first time and I love hearing Nav notifications through my handsfree set. What I couldn't figure out is how to keep using my handsfree set without music playing through it. Nothing would play through the AUX port of my car stereo unless I turned off my handsfree.
I want to be able to hear music through the car stereo and notifications / calls through the headset - is that possible?

I don't think it's possible. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think your phone manages both at the same time. You could have them go through the same one tough. That's what I personally do, both on bluetooth audio system (car).

How did you manage to get it to play on both? For me it seems like it has to be one or the other

Both on bluetooth? I simply have both running at the same time.

My issue was that it seemed like I can only do one or the other. I saw in the settings for my voyager legend that you can make calls through headset but have music still play through car stereo
That works

Not sure I completely understood what you're trying to do, so this may not be what you're wanting.
But if you go to your Bluetooth pairings on the phone and then go to the settings for your Car Stereo Bluetooth pairing, there is an option for either Call Audio or Music Audio. You can de-select the Music Audio so that only Call Audio plays through Bluetooth to the Car Stereo.

All I want is to be able to still hear navigation notifications in my headset while still be able to hear music through car stereo. That doesn't seem possible. I either hear it....
1) All in my headset (phone calls, music and notifications) or car stereo
2) Phone calls in headset (and navigation notifications if I'm on the phone) with music and notifications in car stereo
But I want it to be phone calls plus all notifications in headset regardless if I'm using the phone and music in car stereo

I went ahead and did a little search. Android seems to do it on it's on so I'm not sure why you can't connect to both and hear what you want in both.
I personally don't connect to 2 devices at the same time but I do get/hear everything in my car audio system (navigation, music, calls, notifications) and that can all be at the same time. The music sound will just lower when navigation girl speaks and when a notification comes in.
Now I dunno if you searched for this but I did find a app that might help (can't try it myself as I only connect to one): Smart Bluetooth Widget Free. There's also a paid version.
And like the other guy mentioned, you can select in the bluetooth options what you want to be streamed through it.
