BT Headset works for calls but not music??

[LFNNS]

I have a 8125 with a Nokia BH-600 bt headset. It works great when talking on the phone but I really want to listen to music too...

Is it possible to play music through the Nokia BT headset?

I have Media Player, Sound Recorder, and the CORE movie player but none of them play sound through the Nokia BH-600 headset! I also have a Moto H700 if that makes a difference.


Thanks!

I am not an expert on this topic so someone can correct me if im wrong, but you cannot play music through your bluetooth headset unless the headset is A2DP compatible. You also need the A2DP hack that can be found here:

Anyway, to get an A2DP headset, look on eBay; you can normally find them for around 60-80 shipped, for a quality one. The hack is a cab file that just needs to be installed before pairing the headset.

Hope that helps.

Being dumb here... how does this hack work?

[zakhir_n]

I posted the link in my above post. Basically, just download the hack, copy it over to you phone, and click on it using file explorer and it will install. I am pretty sure it just adds to registry tweaks and DLL certificates, but I am not 100% sure. All i know is that is works great! After the install and a soft reset, when you pair a A2DP headet, it will have the option for setting as wireless stereo. Take a look at the thread above for more information.

Ah, so then any audio that that gets produced on the phone gets streamed on to the BT headset?

Sounds promising. I was wondering if there was a way to get navigation commands to go through my car BT kit.

I also wanted to be able to do that, as I have a bluetooth speakerphone in my car. I do no think this is possible with just a regular bluetooth headset or speakerphone.

However, I do think if you have an A2DP headset the navigation sound will come through. I am not sure if your car kit is a speaker phone or a headset, but if you prefer a speakerphone in the car (as I do), I highly doubt it's possible, because I dont think anyway speakerphone is A2DP enabled. Nevertheless, people on this forum have done more amazing things so search around, you may find something.

And yes you are correct, after the pairing, any audio that gets produced by your phone will come via the headset (hence my thinking for navigation working with A2DP headsets)

Hmm, i have got a parrot ck3000. Not sure if it is A2DP compatible. Is this hack/cab file uninstallable? lol, im asking so many questions! I think i might just give it a try.

[leaskovski]

Heres a question (as these forums are a mess and i can never find anything), Is A2DP included in any of the latest roms? I am running the AKU2 rom that t-mobile last released, so i assume that some of the cooked roms are miles better.

There are 2 ways to approach this issue:

1.) A2DP hack (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=27772&d=1145947232) or updated ROM (for the best possible sound quality) needs an A2DP compatible headset/headphones or home BT transceiver.

2.) Mono BT hack for BT headset (you lose Voice Dial) has the lesser sound quality of the mono audio channel (the one you hear when on a phone call) See this tutorial (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=281977&highlight=mono+bluetooth) for more details and options.

I highly recommend any and all BlueTooth articles by Menneisyys (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=253842) one of our Moderators.
See his articles on BlueTooth and more here (http://www.pocketpcmag.com/blogs/index.php?blog=3).

Awsome! Thanks for the link to that article. I will give the BTAudioNav a try to see if this works how i want it to! Coolio! Thanks

Ah balls it. It looks like its just another constant streaming program. Shame, i would have loved to just get the commands to be said and then the radio wont be contantly cut out. :(

Just installed this .cab on my wizard (o2 xda mini s, G3 un-updated at all.)

Works a treat, I'd foolishly bought a a2dp headset without checking compatibility and now it is compatable.
