I wonder if it would be possible on a rooted Android phone to play audio (music, navigation) through a HFP-enabled bluetooth car-system.
Many car-systems don't support A2DP but just HFP or HSP.
I'm aware that HFP/HSP is not stereo and just low-quality but it would still be way better than the builtin phone-speaker.
Basically an app would have to open an HFP channel (thereby simulating an ongoing call) and then route the "normal" audio via that channel.
Any ideas? Would that work?
I am looking for something like this did you find anything?
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Hey, folks!
Today, in 2014 there are many options for not rooted Android users. Just search : BTMono, BTHeadset, BT Music, Audio Router and alike...
Some are free, others paid, some trials, etc. The one I have is working quite fine: BTHeadSet
The car acts as if I were receiving a phone call and the audio is routed, sent to the car speakers.
Have a nice day ! *-*
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.
hi
I have a 2012 Subaru with factory radio which has Bluetooth Streaming and calling.
Has any one of the SGS2-i9100 (or any SGS2 owners) got their bluetooth to work correctly with this radio
when they have multiple media player apps installed in the phone...?
I have 2 problems.
1. Auto launching of a media player on car-start, which I want to disable completely.
I dont want the car to launch anything, I want to control it from the phone manually
(how do I do that)
2. When I play podcasts through google listen on the car player, I see meta tag information
from the installed poweramp (which knows all my music.) on the car screen. I dont know
why it does that. If I hit vol+/- on the phone the meta tag information switches(scrolls) up or down in my
music list, but well I am listening to the podcast from google listen,...
I can switch(scroll) podcasts using the cars seek+ or seek- buttons. with no problems...
Any help would be appreciated..

I have 2 devices, one is a tabled installed as car dash media and phone. I was wondering is there a way to control spotify with a phone or stream music through a phone on tablet with bluetooth. I know i can control playing if i'm logged to my spotify account but thats not what i want to have.
Mayby some player is able to recieve music from spotify on tablet and play or some app can controll and search on spotify installed on tabled. Any ideas?

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.
