Bluetooth System Sounds Through Headset - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Back when I had a Windows Mobile 6.5 device (Touch Pro AND Touch Pro2), there was an option under bluetooth settings that would allow the system sounds to play through any Bluetooth headset. It was a little checkbox that said, "Play all system sounds through remote hands-free device" and all you had to do was check it! You did NOT have to have an A2DP (Stereo Bluetooth) headset. When this option was enabled, not only would the system sounds play through the headset, but any sound, including MUSIC, would play through any standard Bluetooth headset.
Being as how Android is worlds ahead of WM 6.5, you'd figure there would be an option to do this! Can anyone provide any insight into this topic??

Cingular 8125 Windows Media Stereo Bluetooth

Here is my goal:
*****
Use my Cingular 8125 to listen to Windows Media Player through a stereo bluetooth headset.
*****
I have seen a lot of references to A2DP and many references to cab files, registry hacks etc. Is there one clear definitive way to accomplish this? All the instructions in one place? Would the sound from Windows Media Player be routed to the bluetooth device instead of coming out of the speakers like it does now? The bluetooth device works for phone fuctions but not for Windows Media Player.
Thank you
bluetooth
there are many ways of doing this the easy way is to find the buletooth audio toggle program. the other is to get a stereo headset and one of the new roms that support a2dp i like shogun's one best and flash your phone.
Woo Hoo i have fans, lol... all you really need is a bluetooth stereo headset and a2dp cab to install... then when you sync your stereo headset with the phone it will ask you if you want to use it as a stereo headset..
Thanks. How do I get and install the A2DP cab. Is is just one file involved or is a combination of a cab file, dll files and registry hacks that must be manually copied and applied? I am just looking for the most straight forward way of accomplishing this. I would also please like to get a clear answer on one of my original questions: With the A2DP cab installed and a stereo bluetooth headset, will the output from Windows Media Player automatically go to the headset instead of coming out of the built-in speakers?
here you go, just install this cab for a2dp... the other things you saw where improvement hacks, and those are only needed if you have choppy or skipping issues with your stereo headset, most commonly with the moto HT820
shogunmark, thank you very much! I can't wait to try it!
Absolutely Awesome Shogun!!!!
I just bought my HT820's today to take on a trip. I was pretty unhappy when I couldn't listen to my MP3's using my 8125. Then I checked out Howard's forums, which steered me here. The rest is history!!!!!
The sound quality with my unit is just about as good as with my wired stereo headset! I have yet to take a call, but heck, at least I've got my tunes!
Thanks again Shogun!!
Hey guys....I'm new to all this stuff. When you install the a2dp file, how do you get the windows media player to play through the BT stereo headphones? What steps do you have to go through?
I have the 8125 and have installed the A2DP cab. I deleted my partnership with my H700 bluetooth handfree, but I do not have an option to listen to stereo anything. I am guessing that the H700 does not work as a "stereo headset". Anyone else get this combo to work?!
Works for two seconds only !!
Hey Shotgun/other gurus !
I installed the cab, and viola !!! it worked !!!!
but only for 2 seconds, I have a nokia h200 headset, and a Cingular-8125.
I did the following ->
1) Installed the cab.
2.) Went to settings of the bluetooth, did a "Add device as head set"
3.) Synched up the bluetooth device.
4.) Pressed and held, the bluetooth button.
5.) This popped up, both the "Voice dialer" and the gave me background mp3.
6.) When the pop-up for voice dialing went off, the voice returned to the headset !
Can you please suggest something on this !
Now I know that it works ! seems I'm closer to reaping good songs, any suggestions/links you can give me would be GREAT !!!!
A2DP is for STEREO headsets, people!
Lots of confusion on this thread. AFAIK the H700 is NOT a stereo headset supporting the A2DP standard. Installing the A2DP cab isn't going to do a thing for you! You may as well uninstall it and save the memory.
If you want to pipe sound through your MONO bluetooth headset, use the BTAudio program. One place to find it is:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=260666
Also, for the person that talked about the Nokia H200. What the heck is that? I did a Yahoo search and found no such device. In any case, I am assuming it is a mono bluetooth headset, in which case the program referenced above should work.
HTH
how do i go about downloading this zip file to my 8125?
thanks for the help
Hold stylus on the file (right click), select save as,
select a location, click save.
moto HT820 choppy and skipping
I install the cab fail for a2dp, but my moto HT820 stereo bluetooth headset is choppy and skipping. Is there a fix for this problem
Oh Yea
Thanks shogunmark that worked great and my new Bluespoon Spiders work great in every respect.
Using Jabra BT500 with 8125
I have an 8125 and am using a Jabra BT500v headset. I have installed BTaudio and have a shortcut on the today screen, When I hit the toggle icon, everything comes thru headset, for 1 call only. After that it goes back to the phone and I have to hit the toggle again. Any way to keep this on? New to this, but learning alot in this forum.
stereo thru my 8125 cingular phone
thanx! i have downloaded and installed the a2dp cab
i then paired the phone with the ht820 headset.
i now listen to all of my mp3 music in stereo and my bluetooth screen gives me the choice to check handsfree and stereo headset!
and to think i was getting ready to buy a phone that had a2dp built in.
you saved me a ton of money!
Wicked!!
Shogun, absolutely fantastic. iWing headset worked as a BT handsfree on my Wizard, now with new improved A2DP cab I can listen to all the music I have on my SD card.
Thanks.
DBo.

yes, turn on flight mode.. lol
that almost sounds like a fault of the headset, i havent ever experienced that with my horrible knock off HT820's from ebay, but would be curious to see if other people with the Jabra BT500v have a similiar issue

A2DP Toggle?

I was baruusing the internets and found this app. Apparently this is totally different from the various bt audio toggler programs. This actually toggles the a2dp on and off when you're using A2DP enabled BT Headphones. Has anyone tried using this before?
here's some info about it:
A2DPToggle 1.1.010
This software installs as a today or home plugin and allows the user to switch the audio between Device Speaker and A2DP Stereo Headsets. It also supports Speakerphone mode.
Features:
Instantly switch the audio between A2DP Device and the Windows Mobile Device
Supports both Pocket PCs and Smartphones
Bluetooth and Headsets state indicators
Advanced graphics
Settings panel with configurable options
Speakerphone support

sounds interesting ill check it out
I tried it out and (atleast for me) its not a worthwhile program. I can do the same thing with my headset (Jabra 8010) simply by pressing abutton on the headset. But it does work, so it might be usefull for someone.
Useful for me thanks..
I installed this on my Dash with the latest kavana rom and it refuses to run. I tried to uninstall it, and it won't uninstall either. I'm a super n00b at this BT audio business, and I'm looking to force the audio to my mono BT device like I've seen mentioned on several forums. I've gotten it to work by using MS voice command to bug out while WMP is running, but it reverts back to my speaker if I touch the call button on my headset.
Any help or suggestions?

Car Bluetooth & Audio out with Voice Commander

I'm using MVC to enable me to use handsfree dialling with my car's bluetooth, however to make it work properly I need to have the "Play system sounds on remote hands-free device" checked. But then the music plays over the vehicles bluetooth and not through the audio out from the phone.
Is there a way to stop music on the bluetooth in this situation.
Thanks,
Greg

[Q] I only want calls through BT headset, not music too.

Can anyone tell me if its possible to NOT play music audio though my BT headset, while its connected? Id rather play music through the headphone/3.5mm jack.
Ive been using my tp2 for awhile, as my primary mp3 player, but now that I picked up a bluetooth headset (yes, just now) and leave it on in the car, the audio only goes through that.
Any way around that, or is this a matter of having my cake and eating it too?
Ive looked around a little on the BT options, but there isnt anything labeled "calls only" or "music audio only", etc.
I do have bluetooth music capabilities in the car and I have been using it as such. That is labeled "Stereo Audio". (Ive decided to switch to the 3.5mm jack and sync bt to the headset)
The headset is labeled "Hands-free"...and thats all I want it to be.
(Music player is TCPMP)
Summary:
Music audio through headphone jack
Calls through BT headset
...simultaneously
I've been trying to figure out the same thing. No luck.
What BT headset do you have and does it support A2DP?
Disabling A2DP on my Jawbone ICON seemed to do the trick.
Try this?
Start, settings, bluetooth. Click the gears, then advanced.
Scroll down to audio. Deslect "play system sounds on remote hands free device".
I like ALL sounds to come through the headset, if anything else, as to not bug others around me, but it's a personal choice.
I also have the Jawbone Icon, and, if you have A2DP running, everything comes through the headset...most of the time

[SOLVED] Low Bluetooth volume

Ok , I lied: I don't have a solution for this
BUT, I had it! I solved this problem two times already but at the third wipe I forgot how it's done and now I can't remember
The problem: I use applications that read notifications (whatsapp, email, facebook, sms) through the speakers of my car or through my bluetooth mono earpice. When in the car (which I suppose it's stereo) the volume is extremely low.
I remember I solved this on 6.0 and 7.1 fiddling probably with XPosed and other stuff.
I use "SMS,MyCar&Me" but I also tried "ReadItToMe - Unique Handsfree" and I have the same problem.
The bluetooth mono earpice is a Kelodo S570
The car entertainment system is Fiat Blue&Me
I'm writing this post mainly as a reminder to myself, I'll update it as soon as I remember the solution
I think I found a different solution, but so far it worked with the Kelodo S570 (I'll try it in the car too)
Dynamic Media BT Mono Router
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...it&rdid=net.philipp_koch.dynamicmediabtrouter
What this does basically is re-route the media volume to the bluetooth mono channel.
In the app "SMS,MyCar&Me" I have the following option:
Send output to Bluetooth headset
Mono BT headsets will not be used [_]
Mono BT headsets will be used (eg headset that cannot play music) [X]
With the S570 I can use both options.
With the checkbox checked, the audio is low.
With the checkbox un-checked, the audio is fine but this is because the S570 can also be used for "Multimedia audio". This means I hear all the sounds of the UI through the earpiece.
This is not the case for the Blue&Me. With it, I can only use it for "Phone audio" and "Share contacts" (this is what I see tapping on the cog in the Bluetooth settings of Android)
If I uncheck the box the device is disconnected, the notifications are read through the phone's loudspeaker
