i used my bluetooth to connect to pandora just fine. If your having issues try hard resetting device, if still not working bring to corp store for a doa exchange.

[Q] Music stored on Phone, Stream to HTPC Over BT/Wifi

I'm trying to find an app or a way to browse the music that is stored on my phone and then stream it to my htpc (Windows 7) and then play it on my surround.
I have figure out how to browse the music the htpc has on the phone with xbmc remote and gmote but that's not what i want. Bluetooth or Wifi should both be fine.
Also if i would like to stream pictures and videos too, it would be a bonus but not really important right now.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
You should be able to pair your phone with the htpc via Bluetooth at which point it should be available as an audio input device. This shouldn't require any third party drivers or anything, have you tried this yet?

Most people do it the other way around, I'm sure it requires third party software

hmmm ok, this is not what i'm looking for.
So here is the lay out:
1. Music on the phone
2. Phone connects to PC, preferably with WiFi but i will take BT if need be
3. PC is connected to Sound System
4. Phone streams music on the pc, sound comes out on the sound system connected on the PC
5. Selection of songs happens on the phone, next, forward, pause etc
6. Monitor on the pc is off the whole time
I also have a PS3 ... so instead of PC it could be that.
That's what's going on with my set up, all it does is play everything your phone speaker would through your computer speakers... right?

My way, it automatically connects to my phone without asking.
I play whatever music I want on my phone and my computer plays the sound
You can try and find third part software but for WiFi they only function as remotes

Yes, that's correct. And you can select tracks on your phone? If that's the case then you saved the day!
I'm having issues with pairing my phone at this point, it says paired but not connected.
Try skifta. its free and steamship through WiFi.

Under the Choose a Media Source i get no media sources found.
EDIT: After i restarted the phone the sources showed up. After i went through the documentation i figured it out! Man, this is awesome thank you so much bullet catchet. Also, thank you superchilpil for your input.

Thanks, see the post above everything is sweeeeet!
Oh and BTW this works with XBMC, Win7 Media player and possibly the PS3 but haven't tried that yet.
Use this app "wifi file transfer" ... i think t may help...
Cheers

How do you get blue tooth to automatically connect?

It's paired with my car, but I have to go into settings to connect it manually. Toggling on blue tooth won't do it.

My bluetooth headset connects automatically (BlueAnt Q2). The best I can suggest is to unpair/remove each reboot and try again.
I know sometimes things aren't 100% compatible and issues like this arise.
My headset works fine except Google voice search get stuck on "initializing" while Bluetooth is connected, works fine when not connected.
How do I delete it? I unpaired it, but VW phone is still there. I want to wipe it out and start over.

Hummm... I looked and can't seem to find a delete option.
I have this problem with my Blackberry Bluetooth sink that I use in my car. I have to manually connect to the device. Its a pain in the ass, but nothing I can do about it. It's related to the phone's installed kernel. I found the kernel 3.0.15 built around May 2012 (comes included with ICS) has no problem connecting automatically. All of the kernels built after that (maybe starting in August 2012) has this problem with my device. I'm thinking of replacing my Blackberry Bluetooth sink with something else because it's easier to replace than the phone

Veetle and the Nexus 7

Does anyone use the Veetle app here to stream movies and stuff?
What happens for me is the stream will randomly end and when I return to the homescreen when this happens, my WiFi is shown as disconnected. After a second it will connect again, and the whole thing repeats.
I've reinstalled the app to no avail.
Would like to know if other users are experiencing this as well. Thanks!
Just for future reference, I found the solution. I turned off wireless-N on my router. Seems like it doesn't play nice with the N7.

Tablet Talk cuts off internet to other apps?

Hi,
I'm using Tablet Talk on Nexus 4 phone and Nexus 7 tablet installed in my car dash. The application works totally fine except for one strange issue: it appears to cut off internet to other apps installed on Nexus 7. Internet connection is shared by the phone via Bluetooth.
When Tablet Talk is connected, Youtube shows connection error, Waze navigation cannot reach its servers most of the time (though not always), Chrome browser either works extremely slowly (loading google search results for about 3 minutes) or don't work at all.
Everything works fine as soon as I disconnect Tablet Talk.
I was unable to google similar issue reported by other Tablet Talk users, so maybe I'm doing anything wrong?
Any ideas are most welcome.

If you are using Bluetooth to connect to tablet talk, and to share internet.... Then there is your problem, I think u can only have one device connected with Bluetooth at a time.
Try setting phone as mobile hotspot, and connect the nexus 7 via WiFi. Then use tablet talk in WiFi mode. And forget about Bluetooth and its narrow bandwidth.

I would agree if there is no internet at all - either Tablet Talk or internet. However, there are two things that make me believe that there's another reason: first, there is internet connection, yet somewhat flaky, in Waze navigation app, and some others, while Tablet Talk is connected. Next, Tablet Talk uses the same bluetooth connection - no extra [virtual] device or BT profile appears in the bluetooth connection list, as far as I remember.
I've asked the Tablet Talk developer about this; still awaiting their response.

Yup its still one connection but 2 data feeds, therefore 2 connections through Bluetooth. it makes sense to me this issue. That's why I never ran tablet talk this way. I know Bluetooth don't have much bandwidth.
I would be curious of the answer too. I use tablet talk just not in this configuration.

Sure, but yet it's always been sufficient for any youtube video and other tasks. I don't believe that Tablet Talk in standby mode consumes all the bandwidth... but who knows, maybe you're right. I'll try to find a tool that'll allow to monitor BT bandwidth/load, if it's technically possible. Thanks for the clue!

I'll post it here. Today I've received the developer's acknowledgement for my support inquiry - they've escalated it to 2nd level support for review.

Note 10+ keeps dropping bluetooth

I'm not sure if it's a hardware or software issue. I have a Nissan Nv200 for work and it connects to the phone but sporadically drops or disconnects from bluetooth. It also happens with my beats wireless earbuds. I've tried to delete cache from bluetooth and delete and reconnect each component but I had no luck.
Starting to hate this phone more than like it

I may not have the answer that you want to hear but I did find a temporary solution. There's an app in the play store nRF Connect that works. Slide over to bonded, put devices in pairing mode and hit scan and wah lah. Any questions I'll do the best I can to help.
