I have this Plantronics Explorer 240, that I have synced to Streak (2.2.2).
When I am playing games, I cannot hear the audio through the BT headset.
Even the notifications are not heard through the headset.
but, when I am on a call, and I play games, or get a sms>
I get to hear all the audio through the headset!
Is this a bug or what?
Or, is there a way, that I can source all the sounds to my headset (all the time, not just during the call)?
Explorer 240 is not A2DP, right?
thanks,
Sony.
Navigation or music?
Navigation (voice) or music:
can I get any of this on my Plantronics 240?
Please help - I have a trip planned next weekend! and I need either OR (both )
Thanks,
Sony.
All:
Help please!
Kind people of Streakville
You won't get media audio from a BT headset without the A2DP profile. You need a headset that supports this. When you get game audio while in a call it isn't working properly, the audio from your music player or game app should mute when you get a call.

Yes, agree about the A2DP part,
but, I am taking a different clue from this-
The game media if it is playing over my BT Headset - we can do something to get it doing that other times too!
can you (others) confirm what happens in similar case on your non-A2DP BT headsets?
Thanks,
Sony.
There's an app that will do it... called Super BT Mono Froyo I think iswhat its called that will solve your problems.... I didn't use it for long because I soon bought an A2DP headset

I've spent many a frustrated hour trying to find a way to use my Bluetake I-Phono bluetooth headphones without that damn dongle and at long last, I've found a solution!
"Simply" install the WM2003SE upgrade by toenailed/xda2jojo (which is pretty bloomin impressive, BTW) and then install the HP iPAQ Bluetooth Stereo Headphones Driver Update.
This adds a "High Quality Audio setup" option to the Broadcom bluetooth implementation within the WM2003SE upgrade. Not quite A2DP but pretty damn close. Fidelity, volume, bass are pretty good, particularly considering its a wireless connection, but there are occasional "pops" and "squeaks" to contend with. The connection is so sensitive that I'm having to maintain line-of-sight between my XDAII and the right-hand (BT connected) side of the headphones. I can move several yards away but only as long as I keep the LOS, otherwise the connection degrades significantly.
It's far from perfect but its not a bad compromise until someone cracks A2DP on the XDA (something which I would happily pay £50 to achieve, if any interested party is listening).
Cheers,
Ged.
Headset Update
I've been playing around with bluetooth headset settings and I can't make it work under either BT stack.
BLUETOOTH HEADSET
Hi there mate I have V3 BTHS I tried using broadcom plus the upgrade but its not working...not sure though if I configure it correctly ...When i checked the connection on the bluetooth MAnager/Active Connection it shows an Icon in the Outgoing Connection and it is connected but i dont hear any sounds on my bt headset. What could be the problem? BTW my BT works on the orig bluetooth progy but only on the calls not in music players and sound notification. Hope you can help me. Thanks
As I understand it, you can use a BT headset for calls or BT headphones for music, but not both. My headphones are supposed to work in headset mode but they don't... for the moment at least.
Sorry I can't help further mate.
I understand "High Quality Audio setup" is A2DP. There is nothing more to achieve.
Surur
Okay I have the Bluetake i-PHONO on order. Can someone please tell me if it's possible to use them as stereo headphones and a headset at the same time? When you add the Bluetake to your BT setup as high-quality audio, can you add it at the same time as a BT headset? Does it show up as two icons in the BT manager? The Bluetake is supposed to automatically switch between A2DP and headset/handsfree profile... What I want is to be listening to music using media player over A2DP, then hit the button on the Bluetake and pick up a call. Isn't this the way it's supposed to work?
BLUETOOTH HEADSET
oh ok now it makes sense hehe. thanks PinkySlayer. Iphono is bit expensive though its almost a price of a mini ipod...
Expensive they may be, MTX, but I HATE cables, and what's the point in carrying around an MP3 player when you already have one in the form of an XDA (albeit with a few 1GB SD cards in tow)!? I'm working towards a personal nirvana of "single music source, multiple outputs"; I have an FM transmitter wired up to my GPS enabled car cradle so both my WMA and TomTom audio come out of my car speakers; I have wireless Sennheiser headphones for the house and now and now I have wireless BT headphones for mobile use.
I didn't think that was the case, surur. It certainly isn't in practican terms in that the Bluetake phones work great with their own BT dongle (which truly supports A2DP) but with the "High Quality Audio setup", things arn't so rosy.
That's what the Bluetake phones are designed to do, trhuseby, but I think the only way to achieve that at the moment is to use the BT dongle for music playback and then connect your XDA direct to the phones in headset mode. I believe that the phones would then automatically swap from music playback to headset mode when a call comes in, but you have to use that bloody dongle.
The settings for "High Quality Audio setup" do allow the (de)selection of both audio and headset connections but alas, this does not make it work.
BT HEADPHONE

Hi, finally did you try the Bluetake? Did you found any solution or stereo headphones with headset working for you?
Thanks
I'm hoping for a little clarification. As the title says, I'm using a Blueant Z9 headset (with A2DP) and it won't send music over the headset. The only way I can get it to work is with BTAudioToggle. Even then, if I get a call, it won't reconnect when the call ends to continue to play music. The headset pairs under bluetooth settings as "hands free".
Is there a way to get this to work yet, or is this still the only way to use music over a headset? I was under the impression that if the headset has A2DP, it should play the music and pair as "wireless stereo". I recently tried a Jabra BT8010, and that worked seamlessly, however, the size and fit didn't work for me.
No A2DP
The Z9 doesnt support A2DP so that would be why you are having the problems
Regards
James
James, thanks for the reply - I'm really not usually that dumb ...Don't know where I came across the info that made me think it did.
From what I can tell, A2DP is just a software protocol, correct? In other words, if Blueant chose to add this to a future firmware upgrade, could they do it, or does the hardware have to support it also?
Go to handango and down load Bluetooth music. I have the Blue Ant and it works fime
Try this freeware app A2DPToggle made by the same maker of bluetooth music before you pay for it.. might help..

Hello everyone,
I was using a O2 Zinc on WM6 platform before the current Nike. With Zinc, i was able to listen to mp3 songs played to my SE HBH610 one-sided headset but not now on Nike. I noticed though that the Bluetooth stack on these 2 sets are different while on Zinc, you have an option to "Enable Audio". Anyone, can help? Thank you in advance.
Alano
what settings you have try?
There is nothing much to try. Just either to delete this headset or set it as "handsfree".
There should also a option for bluetooth audio if the phone recognize a2dp on a headset.
my car-hifi has handsfee and bluetooth audio and i can check both.
A2DP for music works like a charm for me...
i dunno about the settings my bluetooth headset when activated automaticly takes over from the phone speaker when im using media programs, though not with all programs. im using an Jabra bt3030 headset myself.
There doesn't seem to be an option perse for A2DP, anyone got an idea?
I have managed to downloaded a 3-party software that allows me to hear on the same headset audio. This show that there is nothing wrong with the capability of the headset but the software of the bluetooth in Nike. As far as I remember, on WM6 of Zinc, it is using Broadcom BT stack. Anyone has ideas where to get this to replace the MS stack on Nike?
Weird - I recently bought a SE HBH-DS220 headset and it works fine together with both Windows Media player and the inbuilt HTC media player.
Nike is A2DP compatible as said in the phone documentation. I use to listen music wirth my motorola S9. When I pair the S9, audio is automatiquely routed to it.
I have a motorola S9 stereo Bt too and everything works fine, even games and tcmcp work without problems.
I use this Blue Tooth Headset. Reason ... no other Product use 24bit D/A Converter! Not much Headset, can match with this product!!! and ... i am a fan of old designes ... if you have a sunglasses ... you look like the first Napster Logo LLOOOLL

The S9s are a great set, but don't ever go running/cycling or get sweaty with them - they totally fail - which is seriously lousy for something thats "designed" for such usage.
I use the Motorola SoundPilot S705, which i brilliant.
I have an outtake for 3,5 mm. jack, and FM radio. When I turn the SoundPilot on, it immediately paires up with my phone.

Hi,
I have a UK T-Mobile HD2, is it possibe to play audio through my bluetooth headset. I have a Invisio G5 headset which works fine to make phone calls.
I just can't see which setting I have to change/select to play music via it.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
CJ
Your invisio G5 bluetooth headset does not support A2DP. You can't stream music into it other than making calls out of it!
If you absolutely must stream your music through to your mono bluetooth headset....
http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=blueaudio
Don't expect anything quality-wise. it's going to be like listening a badly tape-recorded version of your music/movie
You're better off buying a pair of stereo bluetooth headphones that does support A2DP

Thanks Guys!
Thats what I'd feared. I may give the link a try, it's mainly so I can watch core player while at my desk at work without people seeing what i'm up to . stereo headphones would be nice but for to obvious.
thanks again!!!

Now to have another pop at t-mob UK about not releasing the latest rom!
My Motorola H17 pairs and connects to my TP but there's no sound when playing music or audio. It works fine with my Optimus V phone using the BT-Mono app to redirect the sound out to the headset. I've tried BT-Mono which appears to function correctly (no errors etc), but when I switch it over no audio through the H17 although the tablet speaker is muted as it should be.
Is there something else I need to do on the Prime to switch the sound over, is it an incompatibility issue with this headset, or is there another app that would work? I've searched a bit and apparently others with BT headsets get them working with TP, but also found very little on the subject. Perhaps it's the lack of phone functionality with some headsets? I'd try another brand/model if I was sure it would work.
Thanks for any help.
Get audio manager from the market, there is both pay and free, pay attention to incall volume. It worked for me, seems incall volume is defaulted to zero at least in my case.
