[Q] Bluetooth music streaming to other phone - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Is there possibility to stream music from one android phone to another?

Why would you want to do that? I don't think that is even an option through bluetooth.

cause multiple deices playing in sync is awesome!
I have been trying to do this for awhile.. that is to say I am not an expert on the ways of bluetooth at all!
From what I understand I can link to headset or speakers and stream it, why cant a phone just replicate the same profile a speaker dock or headset would?

[Q] A2DP Bkuetooth music Transmision issues

Hi all,
First of all sorry for me English,
My question is, somebody here is using bluetooth connection to listen music? I get this table some weeks ago, and music quality is so poor. I had one IPAD 1 and I always use this way to listen music, I had no issues with IPAD and my A2DP receptor. This problem could be generated by hard or by soft? Do you know if we can get some bluetooth app to improve this situation?
Best regards and thanks in advance for your help

I agree the stock speakers are not that great. However most of the time I have listened to music/movies I have used my headphones.
I don't plan on using this for music much as I have an MP3 player for that, but mostly plan on watching movies.
I downloaded and use an equalizer app that helps out a lot.

Maybe, I didn't do me question correctly.
I'm using my tablet to listen music from Spotify, like integrated speakers has so poor quality, I used me Hi-Fi speakers connected to a Bluetooth receiver with A2DP profile. Before I used this way to listen music with me IPAD without any kind of issue, now with me tablet S bluetooth conection are no so goog. due to that I'm lookin for an app to improve me bluetooth connection.

I actually don't own any Bluetooth audio devices.
This might help, but without a bluetooth audio device I really don't know.

I will try it this afternoon (CET time) and I will inform to you tomorrow about results.
Many thanks for your help

Bluetooth - Permanently disable Media Audio?

Did some searching, and didn't find an answer/solution to my problem: Every time I connect my Bluetooth headset to my phone, it enables Media Audio, even though I repeatedly disable it in the settings. Has anyone found a way to permanently disable Media Audio? I don't want anything but phone calls routed to the headset. As a matter of fact, when it's connected (and Media Audio is enabled) all notifications and ringtones are routed to the headset, so if I'm not wearing the headset (and I'm not right next to my phone) I don't hear it ring. Once Media Audio is disabled, it rings from the phone.
I use the "Autostarts" app. You should be able to disable that using it.

that's weird. Even if I have media going through the BT, the phone rings/notifications come through both the phone speaker and the headset.

If you have it, can you tell me if it's possible to disable it using the app? Even though it's only $1.50 for the app, I'm not keen on spending the money for it, if it won't fix my problem.

Mine behaved normally up until recently. Now, Media Audio must be unchecked for rings and notifications to sound from the handset.

Nope. I even installed Autostarts (as previously suggested) and have had no luck in changing the behavior.

Bluetooth issues

I am running CM10 on my evo 4g lte. I am trying to connect my phone through bluetooth in my car. I have a kenwood kdc x696 stereo. My phone connects fines with bluetooth, handles call fine but I try to use pandora and play music there is constant crackling through my speakers. If anyone has had this issue and has found a way to fix it. I am about to return my stereo see if that helps, but I dont think its the stereo. I think its my phone. I dont need the bluetooth i can use a cable but having the bluetooth is just easier. Any help would be awesome.

Make sure your min cpu speed is set to 400 plus
Do I need a certain app to change it or is there somewhere in system settings I can do that

i think i changed the settting the right way. audio through bluetooth still crackles through the speakers. I have decided to exchange the stereo for a different one. Everyone I have talked doesnt seem to know why. I guess we will see what happens. If this doesnt work I guess I will just to go using aux input.
I have this issue with just my wife's EVO, mine sounds great over Bluetooth,but hers has a horrible crackle, both stock JB, any ideas of what it could be?

Sounds like a bluetooth module error. Calls on older bluetooth at least is mono but music is sterio so it is different. Try a firends bluetooth headset to test. Get your phone replaced. If it still breaks or pauses. I think it is a heat issue. Also try mono mp3 or .wav format.

Why don't you just use a AUX cable, I had the same problem.

Bug maybe? I can use my phone speakers just fine when connected to my G watch..
Not that this helps you, but I haven't had any issues transmitting music to bluetooth speakers, headphones, or car audio/phone systems. You mentioned "speakers," are you talking about the one (or two?) built into your phone? Or some external speakers you have wired to the phone?

I've searched and seen similar setups, it seems like it doesn't support, if it was supporting I don't think somebody would attach a headset to sound system.
It is something implemented in low level, in order to add such capacity you might need to find a rom which is capable or need to develop one. I asked because, it's the easiest way. In general your phone and tablet is acting as a driver/server for an headset. If a headset is connected, they cut their sound output on speaker or headphones and channels through headset. If there was a such a profile it would be extremely easy, if not it's as I said something in low level.
There are some streaming applications which you install a server to one device and a client to another. The applications are not transferring media played, but some sort of data that can be played in clients' integrated player, through implemented compression algorithm. There is SoundCloud synchronizer, but I couldn't find a Spotify version. It is also something hard to do if Spotify doesn't help.
Since, Spotify support WiFi speaker, you can try to find a way to turn your tablet into WiFi speaker. But, the applications I found requires a server installed on a PC, so it can be assumed that they don't actually mimic the protocol of WiFi speakers clients, still worth to try.
Another solution is implementing a virtual device as sound output in your phone, which will transfer the something supposed to be sound in desired protocol that can be played on the tablet.
