Bluetooth headset AND car stereo? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi
I'm just wondering what would happen if I have the phone playing podcasts through the car stereo, but also connect a Bluetooth headset? Will I just get the audio through both the car speakers and the headset?
I don't particularly want to listen just on the headset, but I need it in case of calls on a long journey sometimes!

It's probably going to depend on the particulars, what Bluetooth profiles they use, etc.
In my situation, I have my GNexus plugged into my Car Stereo with an audio cable, and Podcasts, etc. play through it just fine.
I have a visor-mounted Blueant S4 device paired to the phone. When a call comes in, my GNexus actually pauses the Podcast, and the phone call is routed through my Blueant S4, just as I would like it. When the call ends, the Podcast resumes, playing through my car stereo.
Works just perfectly for me, but I imagine the behavior will vary depending on the particular hardware, profiles used, etc.

Hmmm.... maybe I need a visor-mounted system, then... especially given my headset hurts my ear after about half an hour anyway!

You can define what profile the device uses, Media and/or Phone audio. Just untick Phone on the stereo if it auto pairs that way and allow the headset to connect to phone. The actual audio content is routed to the appropriate stream.

Sorry if I was unclear. The phone would be connected to the car stereo via headphone, not Bluetooth...

Splitting sound function - Bluetooth and USB headset

Hi all,
Have any of the Hermes Guru's out there worked out if Bluetooth and USB headsets can be used at the same time.
What I am trying to achieve is for the phone sound - ie incomming calls etc to be routed to the bluetooth pairing and for the other sounds, such as my gps, music and other sounds to continue to be routed via the mini USB port, either for headphones or lineout.
Is this possible? Would this be a registry setting? Is all sound handled in the same way, or is it possible to determine the phone sounds against all others.
Thanks in advance
Adam
does anyone have any ideas?
When in my car, I have the usb port plugged in to a 3.5 adapter and into my car stereo. I also have a BT headset turned on and on my ear. While listening to MP3s, if the phone rings, the mp3 player on the phone stops playing and it displayes the caller ID. If I push the button on the headset, I get the phone call on the BT. When I am done, the mp3 starts again through the usb.
thanks
Awesome yatrg, that was exactly what im trying to do. I can buy an aux input for my car and run it off the mini-usb to 3.5mm adaptor and can also get a parrot bluetooth to handle the phone call.
Cheers mate

2 bluethooth devices

Hi
I would like to know if its possible to have my phone paired to both my car bluetooth system which uses the hands free profile and to a second device which uses a2dp. Can both these be in use at the same time?
Thanks

Hi as far as im aware the Desire doesnt have multipoint capabilities which enable it to connect to 2 devices at the same time if you want to be able to stream music and take calls while in the car a good device is a venturi mini which does it all take a look on their website www.myventuri.com
Regards
Dave
Thats a shame , my car has an integrated voice controlled satnav/bluetooth so was hoping it would pair with both but then chop the streaming music when a call came in.
Actually it does work.
I've just tried connecting to my Bluetooth speakers and my Bluetooth handsfree set simultaneously. Obviously I had to set the handsfree to "Phone Audio Only" and the speaks to "Media Audio Only", but once I done this I could play music wirelessly to my speakers, and when a call came in the music paused and the headset took over. Once the call had finished, the music restated.
Regards,
Dave

a2dp and phone calls

Is there any sort of app that can redirect phone calls through a2dp. I can get a gadget that will allow me to contorol my media player and stream music over bt to an iphone dock but I also need to calls to come throuhg those speaker. A microphone isnt a problem as the phone has one that will work fine. What I need to do is have phone calls,if an a2dp device is present and connected use that instead of the phones speaker. Otherwise I have to go buy a BT radio for my car. (which comes with an ipod dock but no bt)
you might could just use an auxiliary input to get just the audio out. Pretty sure you can't use a2dp for phone calls.

If the BT device has the headset profile you should be able to receive calls on it, many BT enabled car stereos and BT headphones are able to carry A2DP, AVCR and the headset profile.
I want the same for my Blackberry A2DP gateway in car
I have a blacberry A2DP gateway in my car that connects ipads, htc phone and iphone to the stereo input of my car sound system. The sound quality is excellent for all uses but the incoming phone calls are routed via the phone internal speaker unless I plug a second stereo cable into the car input jack.
Can I get htc hd2 windows mobile 6.5 phone mono into this gateway device to avoid having to connect a stereo cable to my phone output? It connects to the HTC as stereo audio only.

So in other words,the answer is no,there IS no such app. As I said,I can buy a gadget that will connect A2DP to a I-Pod interface. It does NOT have headset profile.

Bluetooth Connections

Hey there, I have a quick question about Bluetooth.
Here is the situation: I use a bt headset when driving every time. It's a godsend etc etc. But I also have an auxiliary port on my car's head-unit which I use to plug my phone into and stream music. I would like to minimize the amount of wires going around because sometimes I also have to plug in a usb power cable into the phone and then things get messy.
So here's my question: Can I have my bt headset paired and connected, and also get a Bluetooth audio receiver (like the official htc bt receiever: http://www.htc.com/www/accessories/htc-bluetooth-stereoclip/) and have it paired and connected at the same time. This way I can stream music but also receive calls to my headset.
Thanks

Only if the car is compatible with streaming music via Bluetooth.
Well the head-unit does not have/support Bluetooth, this much is true. However it does have an Aux port like I said, and with the device I posted (that htc bt dongle) i can plug it into the aux port and stream that way. I know this will work but I don't know if I can also still use my bt headset for phone calls at the same time.
If it matters, the headset is a Jawbone Icon.
Thanks!
no one?

Yes, you can. I use that exact setup in my Nissan Juke. You can have multiple pairings simultaneously. The music even stops when you get a call, then resumes after.

Are you listening to streaming music while driving? Bluetooth or not...

Hello Everyone,
We here at iBOLT would love to find out what percentage of Samsung Galaxy S4 users are listening to streaming music from their handset while in the car. As your S4 has access to great music Apps like Pandora, Spotify, TuneIn, Slacker etc. it would be great to find out what percentage are driving a car equipped with car-stereo that features Bluetooth Audio Streaming (so called "A2DP" profile). If not, what kind of speaker do you have set up?
Don't have a car, but when I ride my motorbike I use the S4A to listen to music through my bluetooth headset in my helmet.
And if I were to buy a car, the ability to pair it with my phone (also for a2dp) is definitely important.
I stream both Internet content and content stored on my device. The content isn't what's important. What's important is the ability to stream the content through bluetooth to the radio.
my car has a Galaxy Tab 2 7" in my dash board so most of my music is played right off the 16GB MicroSD Card in the tablet, but when I do want to stream from my Subsonic server at home I do it through my phone. I do have a BT Headset (Samsung HS3000) which supports A2DP wired into my car speakers, but from my phone the volume is super low for some reason, so I usually just plug my phone into the 3.5mm headset plug I have also hooked up in my car.
I just use simple wired headphones because my bluetooth set fell off my head and shattered to tiny bits on the floor it's funny cause it still works but there's no way to get it back together again. I only use play music at the moment. I'd rather not stream because it bites into my data plan with sharp pointy teeth. That crap leaves marks!
Well I use my Plantronics Bluetooth headsets while I am in the car or on my bike...the music quality is superb and it just makes me to enjoy the track with driving though and its quite easy to answer the calls even so I just love my headsets they are pretty awesome one to use.....
I like listen to streaming music while driving, cause it can make me sober when drive.:laugh:
mainly using deezer for streaming with 3,5mm jack !
I do.

Is your car stereo a kenwood? I used to be an installer and a lot of kenwood bluetooth models have a default setting to play bluetooth audio through only one speaker. This had me stumped for a while, but what you need to do to change it is to put it in the "standby" source, and then access "detailed settings" and look for a setting I believe is labeled bluetooth HF audio or something, enter that setting and you can change it from "front/front only" to "all". It took a while for me to finally find it because you need to be on the standby source and access the settings. You'd think to be able to change it while in the bluetooth source. Hope that solves your issue.
