[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

Parrot handsfree (ck3100) and satnav

Hi all, i'm about to /buyfit a CK3100 but does anyone know if the satnav apps like copilot will route the audio instructions through the stereo ? And if so, does it mute the stereo each time it does?

Unfortunately, it doesn't. The parrot just handles audio related to phone calls. It doesn't work for navigation instructions, music and other sounds. (EDIT: Read your other post.. I've only tried navigation with Google maps so far, so I wouldn't know about any other navigation apps)
Whenever I use my Desire in the car, I hook up a cable between the headphones jack and the car stereo. This results in:
- Music from the Desire plays on the car stereo
- Navigation instructions pause music playback (in car mode)
- Traffic information broadcasts on the radio mute music playback (but do not pause it)
- Phone calls mute and pause music playback
The Parrot still has a lot better audio quality than the HTC car dock, so it has some added value. But I haven't found a way to play music or navigation instructions on the car stereo without usig a cable.

I had the same experience, however have found a workaround. I have added a plugin xCarLink iPod CD changer adaptor with an optional bluetooth module.
This allows me to connect my Desire using it for both handsfree and also A2DP bluetooth music playing. This does then pause my music or podcast if I receive a call.
I also have Copilot - this is flakey as to how it uses the bluetooth module - sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Hope this helps...

hmm shame.. I'm guessing then that the only way to get sat nav through is to buy an A2DP enabled bluetooth car kit. Shame as i've got a CK3100 just sitting here which i've had for a while but never installed. The problem is if i buy another car kit, plus a charger/holder, its going to cost a small fortune.
Thanks for the info.

Bluetooth headset AND car stereo?

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...

[Q] An app or plugin to use BT headset (non a2dp) to control media playback.

I asked about this in the thread linked here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1461169 but not getting much response.
Here is what Im trying to do, and hoping I could get some assistance if its possible
I want to do OP90X and other workout videos in my gym, I can plug my phone into the TV's RCA inputs so that the tv will show whats on my screen and if I don't plug in the sound I can get the audio from the video on my Bluetooth headset, but is there some sort of app or some plug-in I can use to pause/Play on my media player? That is all id need but it would be cool if I can skip tracks as well.
Phone - Stock ROM tilt 2
BT Headset - Plantronics voyager 510
Thank you,

Streaming bluetooth to car - cant browse music from cars controls

Sorry for the long title,
I got a new car this week, Honda Civic Tourer Uk/Ireland model
The phone paired fine and i can stream music no problem but i cant 'browse' music from the stereo's controls like i can with an ipod. When i browse to the phone via the stereo it just gives me device name. I can skip tracks forward or back, but cant change albums etc with the car controls
Anyone else come across this? On 4.3 update
Cheers,
Mick

Most likely its just htc's software which doesn't support that feature in your car like it does with your ipod.

Would it be worth converting to Google play edition to see if it would work?

Flashed GPE rom and no difference... can just see the device name from the cars stereo and forward back tracks but cant browse.. its not that big of a deal but still would be nice to have working. I'm figuring the stereo must be missing something for it to work..

I have the same problem with my BMW Business Media.With my missus iphone 5S,I can browse music directory as MTP connection,cant see the album art but can see next song,all directory as albums etc.
I am just wondering has anybody come up with a solution for it?
