is anyone using this headset and is able to get media audio on it? the only time I can hear the audio from a movie is when i receive a call. both the call and the movie can be heard. is this headset not compatible with this phone? It worked with my hd2. (which I hated). sorry no search function on the mobile application.

A friend of mine has that pair of BT headphones and I was not able to even pair my phone with them. I tried three different roms and I still couldn't get them to connect.
I'll stick with my S9-HD's
This earpiece doesn't support A2DP, which is the standard for streaming high quality stereo audio to devices such as car stereos. It is designed only for phone talks. You will need to pay more bucks for a headset supporting A2DP.
The music you heard during a phone call is actually a "bug" in Android: the music is reduced in quality and mixed with phone voices. Some apps actually exploit this bug, which cheat the BT earpiece as if it was on a phone call, and stream the music in lower quality. You can check out "BT Mono" on the market. I actually don't use such apps for music on my BT earpiece because it sounds like crap. However, it is useful for video chats that I don't need to use the loudspeaker.

The BT pairing is pretty standard across all roms (even operating systems). I don't have an issue at all using this earpiece in different roms. Have you read the manual of the earpiece? You need to long-press the buttons in a weird way I can't recall to enter the pairing mode. All BT headsets have the similar design for security reasons.

I searched around, but I didn't find an answer to this specific question. I have an HTC Evo, and a regular Bluetooth headset. I'd like to be able to play music/podcasts/whatnot through the headset.
It works great for phone calls, but once the call is over, it goes back to using the speaker. I'm assuming this has something to do with Bluetooth profiles since I was actually able to play music through Bluetooth in a car I rented a few weeks ago. I had to change the audio setting on the car, so it seems like the Evo can send audio through Bluetooth if it detects a certain profile (A2DP?).
Is there an app that allows me to choose to reroute my audio from the speaker to a regular bluetooth headset that only supports the headset and hands-free profiles? If not, I may need to see how feasible it would be for me to make one.
I have been searching in vane for Android software that would play regular audio through a regular bluetooth ear piece (that is normally used for a phone) rather than the external speaker or audio jack.
If anyone knows of such an animal, please let us know.
I realize what you're asking for, and I'm just going to tell you, odds are it's not going to happen. From what I've heard, the Bluetooth API's are fairly limited, and telling the system to use a BT Profile for something it wasn't meant for (and will sound horrible on, nevermind kill the battery life of your headset) won't be easy.
I'm not saying it's impossible, just not very likely to happen at this time. You'd probably be better off getting a decent pair of BT headphones instead. Sorry.
It won't work. Different protocols. If you get a bluetooth stereo headset that has a mic then it will work with both protocols.
This has been on the top of my list (along with a widget for enabling/disabling background data) since I got my Evo. I used this feature a lot on my Moto Q9C.
But I hadn't been able to find anything until now.
The audio quality isn't great but so far "Super BT Mono Froyo Free" is working well enough. I haven't disconnected my headset yet, so I don't know if it will reboot the phone. But the comments in the marketplace say to use a task killer if it happens.
I'm actually considering getting the full $6 version after the 5 days are up.
I just wish there was a way to make the call button function with the media player instead of starting the voice dialer.
Edit:
Have to change the media volume via settings or when the screen is off to increase music volume.
My jabra bluetooth headset allows this to happen but that bluetooth is meant to stream music through it also.

what about these: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Black-Motorola-S9-HD-S9HD-Wireless-Stereo-Headphone-/260631900070?pt=Bluetooth_Wireless_Products&hash=item3caedf2fa6
granted, they ship from Hong Kong so you're looking at a good 1-3 weeks for delivery (i got mine in about a week and a half)
But anyways, they work great for me. they answer calls, control track skipping, play/pause and volume. i love 'em.
App Work Around
I had the same issue with my headset. I went to the Android Market and searched. There are multiple apps out there. I got BTmono Free which allows you to play audio over your bluetooth if you pay for the $1 version you get more options. There are a few more other programs out there that do the same thing.
Good luck.
Thanks for the find Abini. d/l'd BTmono and it works like a champ for playing both music and for Netflix on my rooted EVO 2.2
Is it possible, and how, to configure Nimbuzz (or Android) to use bluetooth headset for audio instead of the phone speaker and mic when using Skype call?

This would be nice but I'm afraid it doesn't work...
solution
I have N1 froyo stock rom and I make calls with nimbuzz through skype account using a bluetooth stereo headset. Any sound will go through your bluetooth stereo headset, I have two of them (car & home). The good thing using it in my car is the voice directions from navigation app goes thought it, speaker sound quality on N1 is horrible.
Now, if you have froyo device you also can install "Super BT Mono Froyo Free" from the market. This app route audio through bluetooth mono headset, but it's a trial version. You have 5 days free trial so you can try it and if it works for you then you can buy it.
Good lock.

Nomo, thanks for the answer. You pointed me in the right direction. Obviously the answer is simple: in order to use mono Bluetooth headset for listening audio other than phone call, on Android, that BT headset needs to support A2DP. One of those acronyms for which I thought "why would I need this weird four-letter thingy" when I bought my Plantronics 975
Now just to wait for aforementioned app to become mature enough…
Having trouble trying to figure out how to stream music to my Jabra Stone bluetooth headset. Any suggestions? Also having problems with my audio dropping in an out during a phone call; looks like the headset will disconnect in the middle of a conversation and then randomly re-connect again. Rooted running Myn RLS5.
Thanks.
For the streaming: To my knowledge, unless the headset declares to your phone that it has BT A2DP profile (aka, headphones/stereo audio), it won't work for anything other than voice commands and calls (aka, Handsfree or Headset profile).
Disconnecting: Put your phone on the same side of your body as the headset. If you're outside, it'll probably cut in and out due to ambient RF interfering. Believe it or not, your body has enough water in it to block the relatively weak BT radio.

When I look under bluetooth settings/bluetooth devices it shows:
Jabra STONE
Connected to phone and media audio
surprisingly....its now working at least using powerAMP, I'll try a few more apps such as Pandora and Youtube...only thing I did is re-charge the headset.

Odd. Might be that the Sense music player just doesn't like it for some reason. I have had zero issues with A2DP-capable devices on CM6 or 7.
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...
Hello everyone,
I paired my LG Tone HBS-700 with the Nexus 7. Audio works flawlessly but when it comes to microphone ...
When making a call in Skype or Viber I can't get the mic on the bluetooth headset to work. I can only hear audio. The mic on the tablet works fine but hey I bought a bluetooth headset to get away from the tablet and relax on the bed.
Any solutions?
I think this is known. Corded headset with mic doesn't work either.

I've griped on end over this and searched so I'll save you some time. It seems no app except for grooveip works with bluetooth recording. I haven't tried grooveip myself but others say it definitely works. If it wasn't for grooveip, I would suspect the proper audio profile isn't there in the nexus 7. I wish a dev could confirm this. I wouldn't have thought bluetooth mics would be a big thing. In my ignorance I assumed it would become your 'sound device' when paired and any app that attempted to record/capture audio would be re-routed to the bluetooth device. If it is a matter of apps being properly coded, maybe we'll have I dunno, 4 or 5 apps that work properly with bluetooth in a couple of years.
Yeah I'm being a little cynical but I was surprised how poor bluetooth support is when it doesn't seem to be the case on the bb/ipad side. The other disappointment with bluetooth is audio sync with gaming. So travelling and I feel like gaming I have to switch to a wired headset. I read it's an issue with bluetooth itself, but confirmed with a couple of friends the sync issue doesn't happen on playback or ipad.
Just to add it's not just gaming. Basically you'll only have audio sync with movies that are hardware decoded (e.g. when using google's movie player or youtube app), but try and play an xvid etc. So I think you'll find audio playback isn't flawless either.
