Right!
I'd like to watch movies in night but my family wants to sleep^^
So, is it possible?

get a headphone and connect it with your computer in the speaker port :|

You didn't really solve the problem.
Here's the easy way... get a small fm-transmitter. "you can pick them up for cheap"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FM_transmitter_(personal_device)
Plug it into your pc.
Now use the FM-Radio on your phone.
I looked for apps that might allow for bluetooth or wifi audio to be transmitted to your phone but so far nothing.
Also please post questions in the Q&A pages.

I have got headphones! But they are not long enouth!
Btw: I'm not silly. You?
I think I'll try the FM.
Thanks

You could probably use vlc to stream the movie from the computer to the phone and then wear the headphones, the phone would still play the movie but you don't have to look at it.
It would take some setting up but it could be done. I have used vlc to stream my tv-card over the network using dvschedular but it would be difficult for me to say you need to do x,y and z as everyones networks are different.
As well as getting the video/audio streamed you then have to find an app to play it...

is there really such app your looking for?

there was an app for that. I listened to music like this, but you need to have WIFI on PC.

Can I try it for free?

don't know...
Do as I do: if there is no trial, find a cracked one, try it, then BUY IT if it works! (i have bought a lot of apps and PC games this way - so piracy is not bad if you end up buying the product after you try it)

Hi,
yes there is a trail and no, it doesn't really work. The sound is 3 seconds to late.
I think my network is to slow...

It's due to the time it takes to encode, transmit and decode.
The best option you will find is the one i offered.
and a fm transmitter will be cheaper than vnc application.

ooor, there is a very fast way to remove sound from movies (split audio and video). Put audio to mobile, start movie on pc and sound on phone. That way it even conserves battery (no WIFI or net required) on phone.

That may cause audio sync problems.
It also means you have to split every movie you watch.

[Q] ***Request*** Turn off Automatic Music Player when connected via BT

I use my Atrix BlueTooth in my Pick Up for all calls.When I switch the stereo to BT Audio the Atrix automatically starts Music Player. Is there a way to shut this off?

Just bypassed this in my Seat using Tasker - a media buttons grab on bluetooth connection and release on disconnection.
Monkey see, monkey do.

Thanks for the Reply, I looked up that app, " Tasker ". Looks like a sweet app for $6.50. But I dont need any of the other features it provides. I would like to know how to disable the Music Player Automatic Startup function without spending anything on an app to be honest.
Try Llama. It's basically tasker lite. And itself free!

No worries - I wasn't trying to push you to get the app, merely mentioned it in case you had it / could look up the functions I mentioned as a guide to finding your own fixes.

Thanks for the reply...Looks like Llama turns off bluetooth all together...unless I missed a setting somewhere.
Did you check the settings in the music app to see if you can override the headset? I think that's how its seeing your BT connector.

audio effects>
Party Shuffle Off/On>
Shuffle all>

Play Songs Via Bluetooth (Phone!)

Hello guys,
i hope im posting this in the right section.. so here is what im looking for:
my car's radio supports only bluetooth phone function so i cant play music via bluetooth.. but i got this idea last time when even the phone function of whatsapp worked with the bluetooth of my car:
is there an app to play music via the bluetooth-phone instead of bluetooth-headset function? and if not can somebody give me a hint or usefull tutorials (playing music app, using bluetooth and so on) on how to develop such an app?
would be really great if u guys can help me with this it really pisses me off that i cant use bluetooth to play my music! and im sure this would help many others too!
thanks!
First thing this is the wrong section.......
Second.....you don't need an app to do it man.....just connect to your car stereo....then go to Bluetooth settings.....click on the name of your stereo device....open device settings.....there will be an option for use as speaker or something like that....I don't remember the exact words....but I've done it before.....
Third.....always search for tutorials before posting direct questions......
Fouth press thanks buttons if i helped.....
sorry for my late answer..
this didnt help at all.. i dont know if u ever had a radio which is able to only use bluetooth for phone calls. if it would be possible i would have found it in the radio settings for sure but this is the 2nd radio i had to deal with which isnt possible to play music via bluetooth even though it has bluetooth! i would be able to find bluetooth option under sourcers of music playing devices right next to the usb and CD option but there is no bluetooth option.. im not that dumb bro

I guess you got him wrong. You have to look at the Bluetooth settings on your phone and search for your car's radio as output source. If you have paired your device with your radio, you should be able to stream your music to your radio via Bluetooth if supported.
In case your car isn't able to support music playback, then there is no possibility for you to listen to your music besides buying a radio which is able to do so.

at least you understood me right
but is there really no way using phone function to play music? i mean whatsapp is just an app it should be possible developing an selfmade app to create phone bluetooth connection and then play your own music through it. or isnt the bluetooth-phone "tunnel" able to use for other things except calls?
Your issue is that your car radio desert support A2DP protocol. This is what is used to send and receive music to devices.
What you won't to do will not work unless you build an app that sends it's audio through the protocols for the phone. Here you will run into call issues.

Bluetooth Music Issues

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this query but I can't find anywhere else.
I've got a Swift 2X and I'm having real issues with the Bluetooth audio in my car. I had no issues with my previous Galaxy S5 but with the Swift the music keeps cutting in and out. I've tried most basic tests and the issue send to be completely random.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mitch

What way does it cut in/out? Does it pause the music or lose connection and then regain it? Also what model of car/radio.

Hi Heavy Metal Man, I think it's pausing and not losing connection. Everything Bluetooth wise works fine for calls, (Audible) audio books and Google navigation directions. The problem is when I try to listen to music from my phone, I've tried Spotify, Amazon music and Google music and the Origen is the same. And, I am when possible downloading the music to my phone and no streaming it over mobile data.
I have a 2011 DS3 with the built in original radio/Bluetooth hands free kit (not sure of the model of radio sorry).
Thanks in advance for any help.
Regards,
Mitch

Hmm. What file format types are the songs? Any play better than others? It seems odd that it is only music. Have a play about with other sources and see if any play with less stuttering.

BT auto plays music

Music app automatically plays once I get into the car and BT is connected. Also BT keeps asking me every time I get into the car if I want to share the contacts although I have disabled contact sharing with the car when I have done the pairing. Two very silly and annoying issues. Is there any fix?
Does that to me too, I am gonna try disabling Google music, or make Spotify preset music app. Then report back

Contact sharing is a constant request across multiple phones and multiple Bluetooth devices I have had before. This problem is at least a few years old to me so I suspect it is an Android issue. Seems to be dependent on what Bluetooth device you connect it to.
Music automatically playing I suspect is the same - Bluetooth device dependent. I vaguely remember this happening before but it's certainly not as common to me as the contact sharing problem.

I disabled Google music so now it's not autoplaying but we will see if 8 just got lucky if it plays back I will report back here
I'm fed up of both and can't find a solution. I have already had my car set to not import contacts however every single time BT connects, phone asks to share contacts and I have to press no. Also it picks up ab audio file from the phone and plays it. Annoying and ridiculous.

Go into Google Play Music > settings. Deselect the Allow external devices to start playback
this is crazy how can I stop it... back to Samsung I can't cope with this everytime I connect to the car

Two Bluetooth devices connected at the same time

Hi, is there any way to connect two Bluetooth speakers and play music on them at the same time like in a Galaxy S8/S9? And if not, can I get this feature via some mods?

Maybe. You can be connected to two Bluetooth devices at the same time. Music from both I'm not sure about.
I was talking about music from both. This feature found in Galaxy S8/S9 is pretty amazing and I thought V30 will have it too. Are there any mods to get this?

I was curious so I just tried with two identical Bluetooth speakers. I can connect to both easily, but I have to choose one or the other for music playback. Can't do both simultaneously.
If you really had to, you could get a Bluetooth splitter like the ones made by TaoTronics. I have one that lets me connect two pairs of BT headphones simultaneously, so I'm sure it would work with 2 speakers.
