Video chat app that allows us to use Bluetooth headsets?

Did a quick search and didn't come up with anything but..
Is there a video chat app that allows users to use Bluetooth headsets? Is there one in the works?
I find it very inconvenient that the whole world needs to be involved in my video chat sessions.. Bluetooth would provide the much needed wireless solution to conversation privacy..
I have used plug in (3mm) headsets, but only tango allows the use of one and I find the cord quite annoying..

if your using an Froyo rom then you can use SuperMonoFroyo there is a lite version on the market that will let you test it out. but it routes all audio to a Bluetooth headset i have tested this on tango and it worked good on the stock app but have not got around to testing it on my gingerbread rom yet. Hopefully that will help you out

[Q] Display Song info over bluetooth in Car

I was wondering if anybody could tell me if their Bluetooth in car setup displays the song info on their display in-car. If it does, what app are you using? I am using Doubletwist and it doesn't display the song info in my car. I'm pretty sure its not a limitation in the car, more an app issue.
So, I guess ultimately, a list of music player apps that send song info over Bluetooth in-car is what I am looking for.

I think only a custom ROM like AOSP and CM10 can actually do this.

I have all my music loaded into Google music and since Sprint is horribly slow I rarely stream music while driving, I use a thumb drive or CD's. I have a Kenwood DNX9180 and I never paid attention to what was on the radios display.
What brand of radio are you using?
I will load some songs on my phone a give it a test. I use to use Winamp as a media player because they had cool internet radio stations.
I would imagine with the A2DP profile it should display song/track info(metadata) and with AVRCP you should be able to control the phone from the radio. It may be a software issue with the radio and not with the phone.
A few weeks ago I installed a Pioneer AVHP2400Bt into a customers car and he had a new iPhone 5. It would not display the metadata on the screen while streaming but with the USB it would. On the website it said Pioneer is coming out with a firmware update for IOS 6.

I am using the stock radio from Honda in the 2012 CRV. I am pretty positive it is an issue with the apps (or like the guy said before thinking you have to be on ASOP or CM10). I am using the paranoid android rom on Verizon gnex now so I dunno. Can anyone test any of these theories out?

Try asking in Honda forums. I have a 2010 Mazda with BT and AUX in, but I've never gotten any sort of text display to show. Even though my car dashboard has buttons for "text" and "disp", they don't do anything.

I read a little further, and it seems what we need is AVRCP 1.3 support (1.0 doesn't cut it) in both phone and car.
Then I found this thread which concludes that AOSP JB doesn't have it, whereas CM ICS ROMs did. Later on, someone ported it to a JB (toro) ROM, and the code was merged into AOKP.
Any AOKP nightlies past 8-8-12 should include them.

It used to display in my car when i had a stock rom on my samsung galaxy s3 and i changed rom to AOSP cyanogenmod 10.1 and now it stopped displaying music info. I think the rom bluetooth feature is not paired correctly

I found that Pandora does send track info via bluetooth but is not usable worldwide. I haven't found another program yet that sends the info.

One bluetooth device for music, another for calls

I want to use one bluetooth device for audio and my headset for phone calls (at the same time). How do I do this?
I can utilize NFC tags, tasker, etc..

Do both devices support both kinds of audio?
What you want to do is go into the Bluetooth settings for each device; you should see "Media audio" and/or "Phone audio" listed. Make sure only "Phone audio" is checked for the device you want to use for calls (i.e. uncheck "Media audio" if it's checked) and, conversely, make sure only "Media audio" is checked for the device you want to use for music.

Thank you. Is there a way to change it dynamically based off what devices I'm connected to?
Here's the situation. I stream music to my samsung h3000 (or something) for car audio. I use my creative w-350 headset for calls.
While in the car I want to do it as described originally. But, when I leave my car and thus and not connected to the h3000 then I want both audio AND calls to go through the w-350.
How can I achieve this?

The way I read it, since you always want your phone audio to go to your headset, you're basically looking for something to manage where your A2DP connection (i.e. media audio profile) is going.
Some poking around on that subject turned up this program, which describes itself as doing something akin to what you'd be looking for. I haven't really looked closely into it, but it might be worth your time to give it a spin...

[Q] Bluetooth issues in a vehicle

Hi everyone,
Got my black Z1c yesterday, love it so far!
However, when I try to use it in my car (Audi A6 2008), I cannot place a call if it was initiated from the car's interface.
The phone connects to BT no probs and shows my car in the devices list as a headset. Incoming calls are reflected on the car's display, and connected to the speaker's/mic of the car. When I place a call from the phone itself - same deal, all works as expected. But when I use the car's controls to dial a number, the car's display shows "connecting", and nothing happens...
Tried to pair/unpair many times, no success. Tried other phones, like iPhone 5, Samsung Ativ S (WP8), Samsung Galaxy S4 Active, HTC One - all work seamlessly. My old Xperia Z was working fine, until I sold it to get the Z1c... I would never expect Z1c to behave like this...
Anyone has similar issues?

Yes mine is the same (ford sync)

Bluetooth is a wireless protocol for exchanging data over short distances from fixed and mobile devices, creating personal area networks.
There are two important parameters of Bluetooth devices - class and supported profiles.
"Class" signifies the distance at which a Bluetooth connection is possible. Most mobile devices are Class 2, which means they have a range of up to 10 m. Class 1 devices are rare and have a range of up to 100 feet.
A "profile" is a type of Bluetooth connection. The most common are the Headset (HSP) and Handsfree (HFP) profiles that enable the device to connect to a wireless headset or handsfree.
Some other profiles are OBEX (OBject EXchange) which allows transfer of files, contacts and events; A2DP, which adds support for streaming of stereo sound and AVRC, which allows remote control of playback.

try clear caches. All kinds of caches. When I say all kinds, I mean all caches that you can clean. Retry what you want to do. If it does not help, try factory reset and retry your bluetooth connection. if it still does not help, try flash firmware. I guess this is the solution you can count on.

Thanks, will try. The phone was just outta box when I was trying it in my car... The car was the first BT device it has ever been paired wtih...

Phone calls work fine on mine.
BUT while we're on the topic of vehicle BT, has anyone got working song info via bluetooth? I thought it was supposed to support avrcp 1.3, but in my car (2013 Ford SYNC) I still get no info about songs I'm listening to and also the voice commands for playing artists or albums don't work.
/Daniel

I use it with my new Golf and the phone functions works as expected but the song info does not show. But they never do with Android phones. My 5s works of course

In my Toyota Auris 2013 model song info always worked with Walkman app assuming you have tags filled out correctly.
I know there were some issues with tag info in Poweramp I prefer to use but they got that fixed recently. Advanced options to display song info on external BT device is just buried deep in app's settings though.

Everything works fantastic on my BMW F10 (2012) with Navigation Professional, Bluetooth Music with Song Info, Phone with contact pictures (! Didn't even know that was possible until I got the Z10c) and full Message Access Profile with historic E-Mail and SMS access.
The In-Car integration is the main reason why I am torn between iPhone 5s and Xperia Z1c.
The iPhone has the Advantage of "BMW Apps", which allow using Webradio, Facebook, RSS Feeds etc. through the Navigation, as well as iPod Control and Coverart Display.
The Z10 can't do those things, but it can do Bluetooth MAP which is rather important to me also. Webradio can of course be streamed via BT (and controlled on the phone).

Can TWS plus be enabled?

So our phones have a Qualcomm 845 SoC, which afaik supports Qualcomm's TWS+. This would allow an individual bluetooth connection to both left and right earphones, if you have a pair of bluetooth TWS that also supports TWS+.
I finally updated to the latest Feb update of 10/Q from the Aug 9/Pie software on my phone yesterday, just to see if TWS+ was available and working. I've been hoping for it for a quite a while now, really since I got this phone. It will potentially give 1.5-2x more battery life for some of my BT earphones.
I'd like to enable this feature or know if it's going to finally be added to the Pixel 3 XL. Is there a way and I've just missed it?

Not an option in developer options.
I do have # of BT connections set to 5, which is the same as default.

You don't have a codec or channels configuration in developer options?

I do. Codec or mono/stereo isn't what TWS+ does. Codec is how the audio is encoded, mono/stereo mode is whether is sending mixed/mono audio or L&R stereo audio.
TWS+ is Bluetooth being connected to each earphone directly. Instead of the older method of connecting to a single 'master' earphone which then transmits to the second 'slave' earphone.

What earphones are you trying to use this with? I'm thinking you might have to download their specific app to enable the feature

Mavin Air-XR, no app but does have TWS+.
It's not an app or 3rd party software that is the issue. TWS+ support on BT earphones is part of the chipset and with or without a supporting app it will work. It just has to be supported and enabled on the source device, as it's the source device that connects directly to each earphone.

If you can get the files from another device that has 845 SoC and has it enabled you could use magisk to make a module to enable it. Seems the lib files are not on our device. Not sure what all the libs needed are, sorry.

So how do you know it's not already enabled? Are you able to connect just the left one and hear sound? I believe if it's just regular Bluetooth wireless it's usually always the right headset that handles the connection that's how it was for my Jabra and my brother's bragis
Under the Qualcomm website for the SD845 SoC it just says true wireless stereo and I don't see any mention of true wireless stereo Plus
(((((EDIT)))))
Here's the link for the true stereo 'plus' filter and I don't see any of the flagship SoC's listed. Oddly enough it's the budget style ones that seem to have it lol

If TWS+ was working when connected BOTH earphones would show up as connected (only one active) in the Bluetooth list.
As it stands, only the Left shows connected and if turned off music turns off on the right. My Tronsmart, Mavin and Sabbat all use the left as the main connection. Other MFG such as Jabra use the right.

Tws + does not work either.
The same problem, only on another phone (Xiaomi mi 9t). On MIUI firmware, tws + works fine, but when I install the Pixel Experience firmware, tws + stops working.
