Hi
I saw several post re: listen music/video via bluetooth...but didn't find one for samsung vibrant specifically. I have 2 bluetooth headset - Motorola H505 and Samsung WEP405, both of which pairs and connects to my vibrant easily (I haven't root my phone), and i can get phone call sound but I can't listen to music or get sounds while watching video via bluetooth, sound just comes out from speaker. I checked bluetooth setting --> option --> shows check mark next to "connect" and "phone audio" but as I read several places, I don't see option for "Media audio".
Can someone help to resolve this issue...if I can get around this with my exisiting two bluetooth headset or i need to get any specific bluetooth which is compatible with this function ?
Thank you.
Motorola H505 and Samsung WEP405
are not bluetooth stereo headphones, you can not use this stream media audio, you can only use these for phone audio
The phone knows it is not a BT stereo headphone, this is the reason why it is not giving you the media audio option.

Thanks for your input, though would you please tell me what are my other option (bluetooth models) that would work for above mentioned function.
You need a bluetooth headset that has the a2dp profile on it in order to stream media.
I've read somewhere that the motorokr s9 headset is really good.
I'm also out shopping for a BT earpiece that I can listen to music omw to work.
Here's the list I currently have in mind:
Plantronics Voyager 855 Stereo Bluetooth Headset
Polaroid Pbt325Blk Bt325 Stereo Bluetooth® Headset
Samsung Modus 3500 Mono & Stereo Bluetooth Headset
Jabra BT8010
BlueAnt Q2
BlueAnt T1
Jawbone ERA
I'm kinda leaning towards the BlueAnt Q2 or the Jawbone ERA that just came out.

I did go ahead and looked at those bluetooth headsets.
Neither of them seem to support the profile that you need in order to stream media. Make sure that when you are looking for bluetooth products the profile description says "A2DP".

I have the original Motorola S9's, and they are pretty good. The S9 HD's (just the newer version) are supposedly a bit easier on the ears than the originals. They're worth up to ~$60 imo. So if you can get them for around that or less, that's a good buy.
I have a Sony MW600. You can get it for about $50 and rather than a clip-on, it's just a little module that you can plug regular headphones into. It has a decent microphone and the sound quality is excellent.

Try this application from market....called "super bluetooth mono froyo"....you will find it in first 10-20 search results. Then follow the instruction...very easy....which enabled my existing bluetooth samsung wep450...which works fine with all audio (including media and video) - haven't tried my motorola bluetooth yet.
I recently purchased the official Samsung Active Holder for my SGS2. Nicely routed the charging cable, then bought a kit to hook up the aux-out of the SGS2-charger to my radio. NICE! Music from my SGS2 through my radio while in the charger! Navigation-instructions as well!
Problem: Voicecalls still play through the phone-speaker :-( (can't hear a damn thing of what the other is saying when going 150 eehrmz 100 Km/h)
Searched somehwat, and several people reported this for several phones, however it seems the problems/solutions are phone-specific as well.
Does anyone know how to get the phonecalls routed through the AUX-out of the charger as well, just like all other audio of the phone?
Does your car have Bluetooth? If so then pair your phone, use bt for voice calls and aux for the rest.
Not sure if Bluetooth affects what happens through aux though...

Unfortunately: No. Used a special box to emulate a cd-charger on my old Renault Tunerlist radio, to get a double tulip in... Bluetooth was just one leap too far ;-)
Ah, I guess I'm just too spoiled with my car's A2DP streaming audio
Maybe you can get one of these?
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-HF800-Bluetooth-Portable-Speaker/dp/B0002F7I9E
Or something like that. Pair your phone, slap it on your visor and use that for calls.
That one's just an example, there's a huge selection of these bluetooth car speakers.
This seems to be a known problem, but after a day of research, I still don't see a solution, or really understand if this will eventually be fixed by (1) a developer update by someone here much smarter than me, (2) a Samsung update, or (3) will never be fixed.
Issue is:
When the SGS3 headphone is engaged (ie: a stereo phone cable from my SGS3 to my car AUX input), you cannot hear and calls in or out from the built in auto bluetooth (mine is an Audi A3). I've tested many alternatives seen on these forums including, TTY settings, call settings, grinding down the stub of the cable so it doesn't fully engage the headphone, etc.
All to no avail, as when the headphone is engaged (a notification of this pops up on the screen), the default sounds ALL go to the headphone source. Of course, the car mutes the audio mode when the bluetooth is enabled, so the sound is lost! What needs to happen is that the phone needs to allow the phone sounds to flow through the bluetooth. Why this doesn't happen by default confuses me. Never had a problem with my HTC Inc2.
Can a solution to this be developed by some of you talented guys out there working on fixes and mods?

Maybe if you go into the control panel of your car's built in computer and check the audio and Bluetooth settings it has, that might fix things.

This does not belong in Development.
So you have bluetooth for phone only and younlisten to your music with aux in? I would say if you had an aux in cable with the mic on it like the headphones, then the phone audio would go out over to the radio... But do they make those or how hard would it be to hack your free headphones you got into a double male aux cable
There are no options anywhere in the car settings.
Car mutes phone audio.

The sound does go through the phone audio already. But like almost all cars, when the car sees a bluetooth call in or out, it MUTES the audio coming in from the radio, the CD, or any AUX input. The phone should send call audio through bluetooth, but it does not.
Is it not possible to either play the music through the bluetooth or to turn off bluetooth all together. The phone mic would pick up wouldn't it
This is only possible if you have a newer car stereo with A2DP.

So is this just a Samsung problem for me, or for all?
So I am correct that nobody with a bluetooth car phone setup (but no bluetooth streaming) is able to plug their headphones into their aux jacks and still make/receive calls?
Or is this related just to the SGS3? Or just to my Audi bluetooth options?
Would an eventual solution come from a xda brainiac update, from Samsung, or somewhere else?
Do some of you have built in car setups (no bluetooth streaming) that DO WORK with the headphones plugged in?
I can attempt to pair to my brothers car today or tomorrow if that will make you feel better. My bluetooth setup is aftermarket and streams both
I am also curious as to what happens if you don't have bluetooth enabled at all
What about car audio only. Wouldn't it automatically mute your music and then throw the call over bt or is the aux out overpowering the bluetooth signal. Let me look for a way to possibly disable the process that starts when you plug in headphones. Don't count on anything though

I was doing a little brainstorming here and even though I am quite a novice with tasker, you may be able to make a task that pauses music and transfers call to bluetooth when both bluetooth and headphones are connected. I am not sure if it is an input device problem or if the phone is just dumb or what, but it may be worth a shot

Your setup is not like mine, and should probably work, as you don't have to plug in the headphone jack. Yes, the problem is that IF the headphone jack is plugged in, ALL sound output goes through that and the bluetooth is disabled (even the symbol on the phone screen is grayed out.
With your bluetooth plugged in, just try putting the earbuds in the phone, then make a call to anyone, then see if your bluetooth icon on the phone call is not grayed out. Now unplug the ear buds and see if the icon doesn't come back on. This is the problem I have.
Never had any problems with either stereo worked fine in my altima and benz. I used aux + bluetooth no problem on my epic4g for the past 2 years and when I first got my s3 it was working until I did an update. Then it broke it.
Sick of having to unplug the aux cable everytime I get a call to allow it to switch to bluetooth
Need some people to test this, please...
I'd like to see if the problem is with the rooted phone image or if this problem also exists on stock, unrooted phones.
If you can:
1) pair your phone to your factory car bluetooth, or even a bluetooth headset that does not stream audio.
2) have any pair of headsets or an aux cable ready to plug in.
3) make a call using the bluetooth to anyone (ideally something that has an automatic answer phone cue like this 919-238-2000)
4) while the call is proceeding with the car bluetooth or bluetooth headset, plug in the headphones, or any cable into the headphone jack.
5) WHAT HAPPENS???
Is it (a) you still hear the phone call through the bluetooth, or
(b) you don't hear the call any more and the bluetooth headset icon on the phone pad goes out?
6) Please state what phone you have, what provider you have, and whether the phone is stock or rooted.
THANKS.

I'm pretty sure I wasn't rooted the first time I tried it. In any case, I wrote to Samsung support on Facebook, and got this reply:
"Hi Chris, thanks for reaching out! You are correct, you cannot use both Bluetooth and Aux at the same time. A few of our customers found a work around by using an A2DP profile with hands free in the car. I apologize for the inconvenience."
So we know they are getting reports or they wouldn't push AD2P as a solution. I think if enough people write in, they will fix this in an update. We really need a critical mass of people to complain to Verizon and Samsung for this to happen. He did say when I replied asking about a fix, that he had passed my concerns on, etc., etc.
Mention "lawsuits from car accidents" when you write in...

I have an issue when it's plugged in via Auxiliary there's a nasty echo the caller hears on the other end because of this headphone mode. Anyway to turn it off?
I will probably return it for this reason amongst others.
Belkin Y37 from Amazon will solve this issue, or provide an alternative.
I can fully confirm the functionality of the Belkin F8Z492TTP. It is now custom installed in my A3 with a direct power hookup and direct connection to the aux input. For power, I had to hook up a 12 volt car outlet behind the dash, insert a 12v to usb adapter, and splice the power cord from the factory transformer to a USB cable. Power is with a micro type H plug that Radio Shack does not have. They should give you a usb to type H cable with it.
Anyway, the Galaxy S3 will connect to two bluetooth devices at the same time...the Audi bluetooth and the Belkin Y37 Bluetooth. I put a shortcut button for bluetooth on my home screen which pulls up the options. You DO HAVE TO RECONNECT BLUETOOTH each time you get in the car, but you had to manually plug in the cable the other way.
When a call is made, the car bluetooth takes over with full steering wheel controls, and when it ends, the audio goes back on (I think automatically). Since I have constant power to the Belkin through the 12v, if you step away and then come back, you can automatically regain your connection, which is nice.
I did the modification to the Belkin where I broke it carefully open and pulled the metal innards that are purely designed to give it a feeling of mass. All that is inside is a teeny circuit board that must have cost $1 tops! Belkin lists this at $50, although it is half that on Amazon.
All in all, a decent solution to a frustrating problem. Sound is pretty decent.
Hello Have you experience disconnection in your bluetooth especially on headset?
It this a samsung flaw?
Not here
No problems with BT on mine.
My Huawei Watch used to keep disconnecting from my phone and BT with my car stereo (a Sony) would sometimes skip or disconnect. But after clearing the boot cache, the watch issue has gone away. Not entirely sure about the stereo; it still happens but I don't know if it's the stereo or the phone.
No problems here. What headset are you using?
Developer settings, choose bluetooth "maximum connectivity" mode. It is default set to auto or highest quality. Worked for me with akg bluetooth headphones cutting out when mowing grass with phone in my pocket.

You're talking about "Bluetooth Audio LDAC Codec: Playback Quality?" That's only for LDAC transmissions, and AFAIK, AKG headphones do not support LDAC.
My issues have come back, so now my watch and car stereo keep disconnecting from the phone. I'll eventually get around to exchanging this at T-Mobile and hoping it was just the phone.

I was not aware of that. Still fixed my problem maybe just random luck then.
not happened on mine. I connect to my BOSE QC30 every day and to JBL link300 sometimes. Connection qualiy is great. even better than my original Pixel XL
I haven't had any problems, in fact, I had the same issues on my v20. I use a "car kit" for my car and it connects fast and is reliable. I've only used 2 of my sets of headphones (I have 3 others) but have never had any problems (LG Tone Pro and soundPeats q30).
I have problems with my car, every time i turn off my car, i have to paired it again.
Don't know if s software.
My s8 plus works fine.
