Enable/Disable BT Audio only for some Apps? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm using a Sony Z3C, rooted with CM12.1. When I'm in my car (Toyota Avensis T27, before facelift), it connects via BT for voice calls and music over my car's speekers. This works somehow fine. But my car audio is so f... stupid, that it connects BT Audio even if I'm playing (FM) Radio or CD. If I'll want to hear music from my Z3C, I have to switch to the Bluetooth-Chanel.
So, my problem is, that all sounds (WhatsApp/Threema, Google Now, Navigation, etc.) are played through BT Audio, but if I'm not on "BT-Chanel", they are not played back. The phone is really really silent.
But when I disable BT-Audio in general, i cannot hear music from my phone, if I want to.
So all I wanted is an app/a module/a hack/whatever to configure:
* WhatsApp --> You shall not use Bluetooth Audio, never ever.
* OSMAnd+ --> You shall not use Bluetooth Audio, never ever.
* Google Now --> You shall not use Bluetooth Audio, never ever.
* Shuttle+ Music Player --> Please use BT Audio, if connected.
Is there any app or preference to solve my problem?
Thanks a lot!

Try to disable notification sounds from those apps. You can use various apps for this, App Settings in xposed can mute apps if you want to go that far. App Volume in the play store may help you change sounds from each app individually, I don't have experience with it though. Anyways, good luck!
-Also, I have the Z3, love it and love the Z3C too

[Q] Plantronics 240 (Audio?)

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

[Q] Expert Bluetooth help needed

I have a Sony MEX3900 in my car. I love the convenience of my phone's music player synching up with the radio via bluetooth, but the problem is that the handsfree phone interface is awful. My car is a little noisy and even with the windows rolled up no one can understand me, even though I installed the optional microphone.
Is there any way to link just the music player while keeping the phone disconnected from the radio? That way I could use the radio to play music but use my headset for calls, which, while not perfect, works a lot better than the radio does.
In a nutshell, can I synch the music to one device and the phone to another?
When blue tooth is on you should be able to long press a device in the list and sees options for it. You can select which BT profiles you want to use for that device.
Thank you (again)!

[Q] Best audio profiles app?

Does anyone use an audio profile app they really like? I'm trying to find one that will consistently apply a custom EQ only when connected to my bluetooth helmet. The rest of the time I would like the EQ to be perfectly flat, with no intervention at all. Is this even possible? I need to knock the treble way down for listening to music while riding and would appreciate it if it didnt apply to profile to my other bluetooth headsets used for phone calls.
i like using the stock music app or google play music. I do own poweramp but it didnt have this function.

I used a software called DSP Manager, but I don't see it in the Play store anymore. But if you search for DSP in Play store you should see some other ones that do pretty much what your looking for.

I don't see nothing illegal by doing so, hes just modifying the why the music sounds on the fly not permanently applying the modification. It's up to the consumer to regulate how he listens to the music.
No my concern was the listening to music while wearing the helmet. Not the changes to the phone it self. Sorry I didn't make that clear.

^Headphones in helmets are legit.
I use Volume+, on both transformer prime, and the evo.
it works great. Has seperate profiles for Handset, speaker, bluetooth,and headphones.
Unfortunately it wouldn't allow seperate settings for two seperate bluetooth devices though. Its just bluetooth in general.
Although, the way your headphones probably come up as media audio and a handsfree comes up as a headset device, maybe it would treat it differently, would have to try it out.

[Q] Another bluetooth problem(Navigation, Skype etc get no sound over bluetooth)

Hi, I have already posted this on another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2001204&page=6) as a reply, but I think this is a different topic and needs its own thread of discussion.
I have a weird bluetooth problem with my OneX+, where apps like Navigation, Google Voice, Voice Search, Skype etc just do not play through the bluetooth. Only the inbuilt Music app, phone calls and the system sounds (rings, alarms, notification sounds etc) play through bluetooth.
On my phone, the music and phone calls go through bluetooth fine. But the problem is, that all other applications which have some kind of sound output, just do not play through bluetooth. The list includes, Google voice, Voice Search, Navigation, Skype, Waze, Raaga, Pandora and so on. So other than the in built music app, calls and system sounds, nothing else can play through bluetooth.
However, if you have some music played using inbuilt music app, and at the same time Navigation ON too, then all the navigation prompts play through bluetooth fine.
I feel that, in built music or calls can hold and lock the bluetooth connection while the sound output is on, whereas all other applications like Navigation, waze, voice search etc, just cannot keep the bluetooth locked in. Hence when music is being played bluetooth is connection locked and I can hear navigation too. But you switch off music and navigation (or other apps) go mute.
BTW, I tested my car with HTC One X (not plus) from my friend, and it does not exhibit any such problem. Navigation (or other apps) play fine through my car's bluetooth. No need to keep music ON on the phone.
Has anyone noticed this? Can someone please test it with their devices? Please try various sound output apps on your HOX+ over bluetooth, and list them here wheather they could output sound using ur bluetooth device, also please name what bluetooth device you are using.
If you know any work around, it would be of immense help to me for sure.

I will test it with the navigation only on my way back home from work. Will report back.
Just tested navigation without anything else. Worked for me over the car speakers via BT.

I too do not have this issue. Look under Bluetooth and see what profiles are enabled.
You should have both "Phone audio" and "Media audio" checked. If they are, then unpair and repair your phone.

Stock or running custom Rom? Didn't read your page long article on the problem just the first paragraph, thesis, lol. I ask because I'm running the elegancia ATT Rom and all u say not working are all working perfectly for me! I also use Bluetooth all day at work and in the car. My navigation (stock app) talks to me through my Bluetooth headset as well as Pandora, Google voice, etc. Using plantronics marque 2 headset if it makes a difference.

Bluetooth audio in car

Hello,
I was wondering if maybe someone experiences the same or if someone has a solution for this.
When I drive I like to use TomTom Go on my phone as my main navigation, I don't like the car's navigation. I have a new Peugeot 308 SW and it has a large multimedia touch screen.
I enable bluetooth on my phone so that when I am called, the audio of the call goes through the car's audio system. This works great but because I am using bluetooth, the audio from the navigation is muted. Looks like the audio via bluetooth of TomTom Go (but also Google Maps) cannot communicate with my car's audio system. This is really annoying and the only way to get audio from TomTom Go is to disable the bluetooth and then I get audio through the phone's speaker, which is fine.
I tried an app called SoundAbout for Android and this gave me the option to route "media audio" via speaker. So I thought that I had found the solution, unfortunately it also routed phone call's audio through the speaker.
So, to summarize: does someone have an idea how I can enable bluetooth in my phone, use a navigation app (like TomTom Go) and hear the navigation's audio? I am fine if the audio is then through the phone's speaker, as long as the phone calls are through the car's audio.
Thanks for the help and Merry Christmas!

Hi,
I've checked all the settings, in TomTom, Google Maps and Bluetooth, nothing helps.
I've been reading some stuff online and it's a very common issue. I do read that people using an iPhone don't seem to have this issue.
In Google Maps' settings I've checked that audio goes through Bluetooth, but no success. I guess it also has to do with the software in my car. My colleagues have the same problem. I guess when I use TomTom and I want to hear turn-by-turn guidance, I will need to switch off Bluetooth.
I will keep looking for a solution and will reply here when I find it. I just installed A2DP Volume Androi app but haven't test it yet. The description sounds promising, I hope this helps me.
You can try different navigators, like igo,that can use alarm volume setting instead of app volume setting, and it can be seen by Bluetooth speaker

Thanks PeppeBove.
I have Google Maps, TomTom Go and Sygic, not really looking for another navigation app.
I will keep looking for a decent solution.
Thanks for your input!
What is your car audio system? If it's Sony's, you can use Songpal.
you can hear voice from phone through your car audio if you change input from radio to bluetooth.
#1 Set up can be:
CAR
Input: bluetooth
PHONE
play music by bluetooth,
use your navi, and music will automatically go quieter when navi speaks
#2 Another solution is:
PHONE
in app, in voice settings or bluetooth settings, set up "use phone speaker instead of bluetooth"
It will play navi by phone, and calls will be like always by car system.
You cannot mix inputs in car system, so radio and phone bluetooth. When you have call, your car system is changing inputs, but it take some time. So if you would like to play it like that, you will have 3 sec of every communicate cuted off. So better use, solution #1 or #2
