can i use mw600 with laptops bluetoooth?
i.e all the music i play on my laptop..is streamed to mw600..which outputs it to connected headset.
so i can walk around and listen to music from my laptop in my room
Yes, all you have to do is pair it, and Windows should automatically connect and send audio through it. If it doesn't, just right click on the Bluetooth Devic and select "Control" - you should get a dialogue window where you can click "Connect." I use it all the time at work... fantastic!

Notice you won't get track names in the MW600 when playing songs from Windows, as it happens with X10.

It does that at all?
It doesn't for me, yet I'm using mediascape and this headset.
It never showed me anything else than the SE logo and volume level.
EDIT:
After googling around on this, I've found out that the ID3 tags via Bluetooth are not supported by Android OS at the time being.
Quote from SE Team's Facebook:
Sony Ericsson Hi All,
Here is the update:
1. ID3 information requires the AVRCP 1.4 in order to be displayed on the MW600. Therefore the ID3 tags will not appear on the MW600 when paired with an X10.
2. X10 doesn’t support FF/RW function.
All other functions should be as normal. The "start playback" issue experienced by Stefan shouldn't occur, this may be specific with your headset, can you test with another X10 at a store location?
As for you Tord, are you pressing and holding the power button until the pairing indicator appears? You should then be able to search for the headset via your phone. Let me know.

I am using ubuntu to connect to mw600. It connects without hitch.
but is giving mono output.
can someone using windows please tell me if they can hear stereo sound?
I use my MW600 with multiple computers (my work laptop HP 8540W and my home computer) and stereo bluetooth works just fine. As does using it as a headset for skype.
For ubuntu you may have to find a different driver for bluetooth or make sure your device/drivers support AD2P.

Unable to play songs on MW600 from my laptop
Hello Folks,
I have been trying to stream music from my laptop onto MW600 headset, but for some reason the music always escapes through the laptop speakers..!
I think I am already in love with this device, only that I am not able to use it to its fullest.
Also, if anyone can guide if this may work with Skype ? what is it differently that I may have to do to configure my MW600 to it ?
OS Platform : Windows XP Pro.
PS : I am not being able to figure out where the control option on the Bluetooth in the PC comes on.
Appreciating your help.
Regards

Hello,
I'm looking for a bluetooth remote control for my TyTN. I don't know if that kind of stuff exists.
When I'm in my car, listening to music with TCPMP (or other audio programs), it's quite hard to clic on next or stop or play on the TyTN touchscreen and driving at the same time
That's why I was thinking of a remote control.
Any help is welcome
Thank you
I just think if the bluetooth can remote control the media player on our phone,it will be a revolution to the ppc.
Or your hope could come true the day the bluetooth producer make it.And we are longing for that day coming.
A few years back I had a Nokia phone and there was a utility that worked with Winamp on a WinXP computer and a plugin for a Symbian phone that allowed me to control WinAMP from my phone. It was cool. I was playing in a band and we had to provide our own break music. I'd light up the laptop between sets and control the play list from my phone from the parking lot outside or even the other side of the room!
I wish there were something similar for WinMo, though I really don't need it these days. It's still cool!

TCPMP, AFAIK, cannot be controlled with the default Bluetooth stack on the TyTN.
When I had the HP HW6515, it used the Broadcom stack, and it would control TCPMP.
I don't know of a pure non-audio Bluetooth AVRCP remote control.
Have you ever heard of creating playlists ,then you wont have to touch the tytn lol

Gmote has a remote music feature. Allows remote play of music files, won't be a remote speaker though. Available in the Market for free.
I'm also looking for something like this, I would like to use my android phone as a wireless receiver at home so that I can plug my phone's audio out into my amp then stream whatever audio is coming from my laptop out of the main speakers.
The droid 2 comes with an app, that does somethins similiar to this, called DLNA. It is not a speaker for the computers audio player, but it will play the music you have stored on your computer through the phone.

Thanks mate, exactly what I needed, perfect suggestion.
Apart from that: I think you can also stream your music from your Dropbox! (click)
Thanks for the links but I am really looking for something more 'passive' that turns my phone into something like an Apple "Airport Express" while I am at home and it is on charge.
I mainly want to do this to use some streaming audio services that I can get on my laptop but not on the phone. Such as Spotify free and any flash based audio players as my device is Android 2.1 only :-(
There is an app for iPhone called AirPhones which does this. Any ideas for Android?
I'm also looking for something like this, something that will allow me to play all sound and not just music.
I understand what you guys are saying but I do not know of any app that does this yet. Currently, apps like homepipe, a gmote, use an app on your computer to create a server connection that your phone can connect to and then browse files. DLNA is the same thing but licensed. For what you guys want, you would need an app that creates a server connection but now to a file directory but instead to the audio card/audio out. I'm unfamiliar with how hacked airport express' work (the ones that allow you to stream any audio not just iTunes) but I was under the assumption that it worked at the programs I mentioned above, except the server app was itunes itself. essentially, iTunes could play music on your computer but it would then share the data over the wifi connection to another device (the airport express) which had access credentials. If I'm wrong someone please correct me...
bumping this really old thread.
still looking for a way to transmit pc audio to android over wifi.
anybody have any recommendations or news?
AirBubble, allows your phone to act as a AirPort Express. So you can stream music from iTunes, iphones, ipads, etc to your phone and then play it out via the headphone jack. As far as I know there are no apps which allow you to stream audio from PC.
I'm very much interested in this kind of app.
Specifically I want it so that I can watch Hulu/Netflix on my large TV in bedroom, but have the sound come through my headphones so I don't wake the beautiful lady next to me
Any help here would be much appreciated.
Anyone want to comment on quality?

I am looking for the same thing,
Using an old android phone as Wireless Audio Receiver and Hook it up to speakers or Headphone in Bedroom, either Via Bluetooth or Wifi.
To receive audio from PC or any other wifi and bluetooth capable devices
This is a work in progress, but is highly complicated due to the differences between standard Linux and Android. More here: http://arunraghavan.net/2012/04/pulseaudio-on-android-part-2/
Soundwire
There's an app in google store called 'soundwire', that's a solution. It streams any sound from a notebook over wifi to an android device. Anyway I'm looking for the same kind of app which uses bluetooth for that. Would b nice not to have to use a router to stream sound from computer's sound card to my android phone.
I can't believe this isn't standard. This is the kind of tech that makes people smile and isn't impossible with the DLNA standard. Anyway, just crazy that this isn't out there and all over the place.
I'm in the same boat and want to clarify things a bit.
There are two vastly different things here. One is a bluetooth wireless music adapter (bridge) and the other is a DLNA capable server/client that plays from the server to the client but is server controlled.
Bluetooth is fine, but short ranged and crappy sound quality. We all already have wireless in our houses and Apple does this perfectly fine with the AirPlay, so why are we interested in bluetooth?
Most DLNA servers run and have media on them, then you connect a client which has the speakers and play from that client, streaming the audio to the client. we want a way to stream from a device (server) to a client, but that is server controlled, almost like pushing music to another device.
looks like AirBubble might be on the way there as are some others that set up an AirPlay speaker connection. Now we just need to find an app that will search for these AirPlay speakers and use them for out audio instead of the build-in speakers or headphone.
---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------
okay got this working, mostly.
The apps I'm using are:
AirPlay/DLNA Receiver which is the receiver to connect to the speakers and
Twonky Mobile which streams your media to the receiver.
Basically set up your Android device and plug in the cable to your stereo or headphones. Start the AirPlay/DLNA receiver. Then use the Twonky app to stream whatever is in your other Android device to the receiver. After setting it up Twonky should find your other device and let you stream to it.
Pulse Audio is not a piece of dlna software. Pulse Audio is an audio subsystem of Linux, an alternate to the subsystem in Android. Pulse Audio has the native capability to broadcast lag-free audio for free across a number of connections.
Dlna is more just a file sharing protocol. It certainly can be used to play music files across a network, but it isn't nearly as capable as pa (pa sends pure audio over a connection and costs nothing to either system).
There are some dlna clients that integrate pa for a well-rounded media solution, but they are fat from one in the same.

I know its possible to send audio from an Android phone via bluetooth to a PC using the a2dp profile. But I want to do it the other way. Connect the phone to my amplifier and send audio via bluetooth a2dp from my laptop.
I've searched but not found. Anyone know it it's possible?
I think the standard BlueZ stack can't do this. I think the Broadcom BTLA stack might be able to do this ... IF you have the Broadcom Bluetooth chip inside.
Hi Pananza,
did you have success to use an android device as a2dp receiver? I'm looking for a solution but I didn't find anything useful.
The only solution that I have found is to use the NDK to access the BlueZ stack, but I'm not sure if this is the right way.
Thanks

Using phone as A2DP receiver
Hello
I would like to do this too, have a Sony MW600, and it works perfect with laptop or my HTC Desire, but it can not be charged and used at the same time..
Will it be possible to do this on an Android that is not rooted?
Did anything ever come of this? I'm looking for an app that would allow android to receive bluetooth a2dp or whatever the basic format is (mono ok), and output audio on the headphone jack of the phone. Bass ackwards to what all other apps i've found are doing. I've always been a "special needs" user

You can transform your device into a wifi music receiver with the app called soundwire, you must install a server on your pc to stream audio from your pc to your android device. I didn't find anything with bluetooth.

Same here. More and more people are going to have "last years" android phone lying around doing nothing and this would be an awesome way to re-purpose it.
Whether it uses BT, Wifi, I don't care as long as I can stream audio from one android phone to another. What I don't want is to deal with DLNA or manufacturer built in BS. Just need google to turn on the A2DP sink profile and be done with it. The hardware is all there, just need the software to take advantage.
The next best thing is one of those BT reciever dongles/boxes. They run about $20 I think. So PSA to android developers - if you can enable this in a paid app I'm ready to buy it and I'll bet a lot of others are as well.

Did that tutorial works for you?
I've tried, but it doesn't work. My Panasonic TV doesn't see my phone, so I cannot play the TV audio thru my phone.
Any ideas?

I was also looking for an app like this.
For my old phones, my android sticks, ... no progress I assume ?

Truck Tablet Install
Hey Everyone,
Been very curious about this as well as I'm going to do a nexus 7 install in my truck and want to be able to bluetooth additional music aside from what is on the tablet through the tablet to my speakers. Kind of a necessity due to the lack of a 3.5mm aux into the stereo. Hopefully we can figure this out!

?
I'm also looking to do this.
I'd like to be able to connect a Bluetooth transmitter to the output of a mixing desk, and then just use my phone to receive the audio (which I'd then want to save with something like tapeatalk).
This could provide a very quick method of recording gigs or DJ sets in stereo, and would be better quality than simply using the built in mic of your phone.
a2dp sink.
Bluetooth File transfer app can stream music from another phone. And this is where tha first phone works as a a2dp sink am I right? Can't we use that to built an app to follow it but using pc/laptop as the source?
Seems, that no one is interested. What a pitty, it could be really HOT stuff. For example, cheap android phone pluged instantly to a charger and to Car Audio via AUX, and You have got Bluetooth automatic pairing system for calling and music, navi etc.
Unfortunately I couldn't find solution for this, neither the app. It is strange. Some people says, that Android can not be a sink (reciever) in a2dp profile. So how does microphones from earphones are streaming audio to a phone, hmm?
Maybe someone will do it
I have a LG G3 and it does it flawlessly. It have a function called "Turn Audio Channel mode" on bluetooth settings.
I'm wondering how to do the same thing on any other andoird phones.
My desire is to be able to listen, on my Android, anything that is output on my PC soundcard (running Linux).
I've been reading about pulseaudio and I'm able to stream specific things, like mp3 files. But I wanted to let Android get everything that is output to pulseaudio. Like YouTube videos, desktop sound effects, music.
The reason? I hate to switch my headphone.
Does anyone has any idea on this?
I've read that it is possible to enable pulseaudio to stream PC's general audio. What can I use to connect my Android to that?

Well if you are going to use pulse audio on the pc, im pretty sure you would need a pulseaudio app for the phone.
I'm not sure why you want to listen to the audio on your phone. The tiny speaker in the phone is horrible quality compared to the speakers on your laptop.
I want to listen to my PC on my Android with headphones. Not Android's tiny speaker
This would be nice if would be possible; for example it can be used as (sort of) wireless headphones for PC; I will definitely love this option for watching movies; play them on TV via PC, and listen audio via phone, and I don't have to worry about headphone cable (just stuck phone in pocket, and connect headphones in phone).
If someone knows how to make this work, please feel free to reply
P.S. it will be great if it will work over WIFI
I'll bump this in hopes someone has found a solution by now, for Linux and Windows.
Asset UPNP will let you stream a PC's audio output to any dlna client. Its Windows and Mac only at the moment though. I'm looking for something that'll do the same for android. Theres tonnes of DLNA apps out there, but they only stream files, not the complete audio output (ie alerts, streamed audio, phone calls etc).
I'd like this too, ideally i could plug my phone into my amplifier and play music from my pc , save moving everything around.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
im also in need of this.. connect pc and android phone via wifi n stream all audio output (line-out) to android in realtime with no detectable lag.
SoundWire does this. However, there is a noticable slight lag. I'm hoping there's a better solution out there (even if it's over usb).
Edit: Not sure this works on Linux. I use Windows 7
If you want a lagg-free solution, just plug your Headphone-out(pc) to your Mic-in (phone), resistor needed.
Nobody got this idea before ?
You could also just stream your audio from PC with VLC via Wifi...

Plugging into my Mic-in on my phone is not an option, because my headphones are already plugged into the 3.5mm jack. So it has to be over usb or wirelessly.
People want to stream all the audio from their PC to their phone, not just audio from a video. Does VLC do that?
Has anyone found a solution to this?
I found this info doing a quick search on ixquick-dot-com. It sounds like it's a definitive solution.
Quoted from: [superuser-dot-com] /questions/331126/how-can-you-stream-music-from-ubuntu-to-airplay-speakers-on-your-network-with-ub
---------
You can install airbubble on your android, which works as a speaker using apple's AirPlay (DAAP) protocol.
[play.google.com] /store/apps/details?id=com.bubblesoft.android.airbubble
Pulseaudio can be configured to stream to any AirPlay receiver - check this answer for details on setting that up: [superuser.com] /questions/331126/how-can-you-stream-music-from-ubuntu-to-airplay-speakers-on-your-network-with-ub
With airbubble running, it should show up as a speaker option in the ubuntu sound menu.
---------
I haven't tested it yet, as I haven't reconfigured the comp to use PulseAudio. It may work over 3g AND wifi, just like SoundWire, but instead using a Linux distro rather than Windoze. I plan to test and report soon.
My apologies for the modified urls, the forums won't let me post links yet.
