Just got myself a Sony Bluetooth headphone (MDR10RBT)....was able to pair it as a Bluetooth headset via NFC. Sounds very good. All on headset controls work.

I took it back. It really is a half assed attempt at a media player. It should just use stock droid with the option of an easier user interface for people who are not tech savvy. It should have chrome built in and not have to be side loaded and bluetooth should work as it does on their tablets. Why none of the mainstream players support bluetooth audio is Kodi nox something I do not understand.

Can anyone tell me how to do this?
I maybe pulling this out of my ass but I think there are different profiles for headset vs. media audio. I have a pair of Nokia bluetooth headphones that function as both. When I pair it with the phone, it shows up as two devices. One as a headset and another as "media audio" so if you're device isn't designed for it, it may not work
and even if you get it to work, it will sound like crap with low bitrate mono audio
Stop pulling stuff out your ass! XD
Super bt mono froyo free.
I would post a link, but I can't seem to find the share button. It sounds like crap, but it works.

Is it possible to stream the same Audio to 2 separate Bluetooth Devices? I can't seem to find a way to do such by default, but if I can maintain 2 separate connections (One for streaming and one for Microphone) it should be theoretically possible.
Pretty much I have 2 speaker systems, 1 in my living room, and a portable Logitech. I would love to be able to stream music to both of those at the same time from my SGSII, that way when I am cooking I can listen to music in the kitchen while my guests are in the living room waiting and I don't have to blast the music so I can hear it thus pissing them off.
As far as I know you can only play audio to one paired device at a time. You can pair to other A2DP audio devices but can stream to one only at one time. Maybe someone else knows otherwise.

I have a Motorola Triumph (running CM7) and stream music via Bluetooth to my Sony DSX-S300BTX head unit in my car. The quality and consistency of the audio is flawless and can also use my head unit to change tracks and pause/play music with no issue. I recently began using Google Music on my PC and it made sense to use the Android app for accessibility purposes. The only drawback I have experienced is that the artist and song title info is no longer shown on my car stereo. This functionality worked perfectly using my previous phone (WP7 LG Quantum w/ Zune Pass) and on my current Triumph with the stock music app packaged with any version of CM7. I download and listen to quite a bit of new music and this functionality is pretty much a must have feature for my primary music app.
Does anyone know of a fix/hack for this issue? The only workaround I have thought of would be to sync music via the Google Music app and then listen to it via the stock music app. This is less than ideal due to the fact it involves 2 apps and takes away the option to stream music not downloaded to my phone. Also, the Google Music app has a much nicer UI compared to the stock app. If you don't know of a specific fix, but have some knowledge of A2DP and AVRCP Bluetooth profiles and could point me in the right direction as to what all goes into making this work, that would be awesome.
I've a suggestion, most of the Sony headset has aux in, so you can buy an aux in cable in shop, it is quite cheap, I get my 3 metre cable for about Rm3.50 ~2us$. The output quality of the sound should be good compared with Bluetooth. You won't be able to change track via headset, only phone. If you want a great quality, it is a good choice

It has an auxiliary input, as well as 2 USB inputs, but I definitely do not want to use a wired connection. I considered mounting a Nook Color in my car using the aux input and purchasing a head unit that focused purely on audio quality since the Nook would be the central control mechanism by design. The big reason I bought the Sony head unit was for the excellent Bluetooth integration. I don't want to mess with wires, worry about carry a thumb drive with music on it, or worry about constantly updating the flash drive with new music. My current setup is exactly what I envisioned except for the track info problem which I am almost certain is app/phone specific. If I can just get this last little thing figured out I will have everything I want out of my set up. Information regarding this issue seems to be pretty spotty, so any input would be appreciated.
same issue
I have the same issue with my 2012 Volvo and my Sony Arc. While streaming with my 2 year old blackberry it will show the song info text in the car stereo but with my Sony Arc it just says "streaming". The skipping of songs back and forth works fine with the car controls although it seems for both phones you cannot scroll the song menu in the phone like you would with a USB stick or play random.
Did you find a work around to this?
I have 2011 Ford Focus and my wife's phone (SG2) streams track info, yet her old HTC Desire nor my HTC Desire HD dont. I have tried heaps of roms. Is it a hardware limitation?
I have the A100 HTC Car StereoClip for streaming audio to my car stereo, but only the bluetooth profile is for "Media audio."
The device works great for streaming audio - it sounds just as good as a wired connection - but, it will not work for phone calls. When a call comes in, the "media audio" stops/pauses, then the call comes through the phone's speaker. With a wired connection using the physical headphone jack, the call will go through the car stereo and use the phone's microphone.
Is it possible to force a different profile for the A100 to do the same thing as the wired connection?

I've been searching for this same exact question, but haven't found jack. Did you ever figure this out?

Not yet. I haven't found any app or utility that will make the A100 work like a corded link for phone calls.
I am hoping the answer lies in the /system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf file. I haven't really looked into it because root is needed to test anything there. I plan to resume looking into this once s-off is achieved.
any solutions as of yet????

Nothing as of yet. However, the answer is not in the audio.conf file.
Can anyone tell me where the system detects the headphone jack is inserted and then redirects the audio?
Go to the bluetooth settings for your device, you will see two different options "Phone Audio" and "Media Audio". If you only see "Media Audio" your A100 does not support the required bluetooth prodiles to handle phone calls.
These are two separate bluetooth audio profiles, HFP for phone and AVRCP/A2DP for media.
When a phone call comes in, the phone pauses the AVRCP connection for the duration of the phone call, and HFP comes on to handle the call.
This is the device I used for bluetooth media/phone calls in my older model car, nothing spectacular about it but it works decently for being a $40 unit.
Connects via wire/RCA jacks to aux port and needs to be hardwired into power though.

Reading around ive abandoned the idea of finding a way to get this working on a2dp devices. Its just so stupid. All I want is to route the audio through the speakers, the microphone in the one x is close enough to pick up my voice. This is what I used to have when I hard wired the audio to my stereo in my car, and now with blutooth I can't.

Exactly. I haven't given up yet, but I agree that information on this is few and far between. Most info seems to be focused on redirecting all audio to mono SDP. With root, it should be possible somehow by re-routing the audio. I'm even ok if the music gets blended with phone audio - it might be annoying, but not nearly as frustrating as not getting phone audio via A2DP.

Unfortunately, even SoundAbout can't force the phone audio over AD2P-only devices. I talked (well, emailed) with the author about it last December. He was very receptive to input and he even tried a couple things, but no joy.
This solution requires root and knowledge beyond me. Or, I need to buy an adapter that supports AD2P and SCO and has a microphone.
Are there still issues streaming music via bluetooth on this phone? Was/is it only an issue for ICS? I'm looking at a few phones and this is one of them but I need, well, desperately want, to be able to stream via bt. Searching around I've seen where there have been problems.
Streaming media worked but bluetooth calling did not.

It depends on the receiver
A2DP audio streaming works great on all of the AOSP ROMs.
All Bluetooth functions work great on stock ICS.
I'm running the global ruu, locked and I stream music all the time. I also use BT for phone calls in the truck pretty much exclusively. Hard to hold a phone and shift gears!
