Hey all,
I have been using my Eris with a bluetooth Stereo for a quite a while, but when I rooted the phone over to a 2.1 ROM it started using Simple Secure Pairing (SSP) when authenticating the bluetooth headphones. My car stereo doesn't support this (its brand new too...).
So, the question is has anyone ever looked into disabling SSP and forcing it to use the old static key method of pairing in 2.1?
I am not adverse to diving in and doing the dev work, I just wanted to make sure someone hasn't already done it. If I do need to dive in does anyone know if its possible to disable it via a config file, or will I need to backport the bluez stack?
Thanks for all the great work,
traetox
I too am having this issue. Worked fine in 1.5 but ever since root it will play audio through pioneer head unit but phone won't connect. I will patiently await a fix.

Oh, so that's what's up.
I'm having a similar problem with my Jabra Cruiser bluetooth speakerphone/FM transmitter. What mine does, though, is it will connect and I can use it to listen to music and do the normal speakerphone functions like it normally would, but none of the media buttons will work anymore. It's not a huge inconvenience, since I mount my phone in the car anyway (long commute). It's only a problem if I need to have Google Navigation in the foreground but still want to change songs.
Patiently waiting. You devs are awesome, if you don't get enough sycophantic slobbering already.
ok, so I did some digging on mine and it turns out that I can pair with a simple bluetooth headset via the '0000' key. But the phone attempts to go through the full key negotiation to connect the "bluetooth headphones." So i can get audio via the headset negotiated connection, but it sounds awful without full AD2P.
I am getting a ROM kitchen setup and will try and map the 1.5 bluez stack onto the 2.1 source and see where that gets me.
Thanks for the input.
Thanks for working on this! I've tried to incorporate some of the Bluetooth files as well as the WLAN.ko from other roms into my Rom but have been unsuccesful. I am running damage control 2.08 that I ported. I was originally unable to get WiFi or Bluetooth to work until I copied the WLAN.ko from the oc patch now both work minus the phone. Don't know if this helps but figured i let you know. If you have those files from a 1.5 Rom I will try them in my port and let you know what the results are.

bt issues as well any fix
I have posted several times on this can not get an answer Have the same issues anyone with experience know what I can do?
Here is my situation I have driod eris ee2.1 on verizon before root I could auto connect bt to my pioneer avic d3 with phone audio only I had to manually connect media audio every time but I got used to it but since root I now can connect to media audio only and when I try to connect phone audio it dissconnects in less than a minute I am at a loss as to what to do thought maybe someone has experienced this and figured it out Thanks in advance.

I have a Jabra Crusier, and I'm having an issue with a lot of ROMs where I can not connect to it and stream music over bluetooth. I have found that Aloysius v6 Maps rom by Spencer Moore works well with the bluetooth thing. You may have to connect and disconnect a few times here and there to get it to connect, but it's been the best ROM for it. I used V11 Maps and it worked for a little while, but stopped connecting properly just recently.
There are a few known bugs with v6, but I'm fiddling with V11 to try and get the bluetooth to stay perm. Once I get it, I'll let Spencer Moore know and get him any new updates I come across.
Just an update. I am able to pair and connect to phone using white widow Rom.

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?

Our best hope is a port of Pulse Audio... I may look into this, but I'm admittedly over my head on that one... I'll see what I can do.

About what?

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.

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

any update on this?
Wanting to use Android OS in the dash of my vehicle hooked to the audio system and use bluetooth a2dp to connect to mobile phones to play media through the system.
I'm looking for a similar setup. Has anyone found a way to turn android into an a2dp receiver?

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?
Thanks!
I was also looking for an app like this.
For my old phones, my android sticks, ... no progress I assume ?
Waiting the same here! My idea is to buy a bluetooth transmitter, connect it to my TV and receive the audio on my phone.
I can't think that is not possible! :crying::crying:
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.
Hi all
I'm looking at getting an Android 4.0 device - not a phone as it happens - but I'm going to want to have all audio sent over Wi-Fi in order to work with something like this: http://www.lindy.co.uk/usb-portable-wireless-audio-system/20404.html
Now if I was running Lindy I'd be sure to release an app for that, but I've not seen mention of one. I don't know Android well either.
Can anyone help? I was considering Bluetooth but it turns out that lossless Bluetooth audio receivers are scarce.
Thanks
Hi all,
I've got a conundrum that I can't seem to work out from Googling. I suppose I will give the background then my question.
I use my xperia z2 tablet at the gym to watch TV shows because the treadmill is even more uninteresting than the landscape around my place. I don't like to be hooked up to it via headphones because I don't want to accidentally pull it over. So - I use a bluetooth audio receiver I plug my headphones into, and they receive the audio from the tablet (which is paired with the receiver).
I would prefer to just use my phone in place of the receiver, because the receiver is cheap and doesn’t work so well (and i cant believe it can't be done).
I thought two options could be:
1 using the phone as a bluetooth receiver, or
2 somehow using the wifi hotspot on the phone to enable the audio from the tablet to play through the phone.
Am I strange? Any ideas? Does something already exist or is it even possible?
Thanks.
Further update - I've asked at an electronics store and they had no idea. But I have faith in the people on here. Anyone?
