So The linux bluetooth stack for android (Bluez) now supports AVRCP 1.3 but my EVO 3D still does not..there is something wrong with that picture. How do I make this happen? I have a Prius with a head unit that supports AVRCP 1.3 and i need to see my track data on my head units screen. I know one solution is switching to Cyanogen Mod which has already updated to AVRCP 1.3, but is there a way to simply upgrade the bluetooth stack without rooting and going to Cyanogen? please help, kind folk!
I am interested to know if I can simply upgrade to the latest Bluetooth driver by replacing /system/app/bluetooth.apk and /system/app/bluetooth.odex?? If so, where can I find the files?
I am NOT able to control my Play/Pause using my current Bluetooth.apk... and Skype does NOT recognise my Bluetooth microphone even though I can hear Skype through my Bluetooth earpiece.
I'd be interested in this too. From a little research though it seems that no Sense roms support AVRCP 1.3 or 1.4?
wow, it's so strange that this is here. Did you all just buy a Bluetooth car receiver or something? I did
I can control stuff but metadata does not show up on the display. NOT COOL. Anyway to update it?

Got a new car with bluetooth built in and it'd so much cooler if the song name would at least display on the dash. (AVRCP 1.3) From a little research it seems that you would need to unlock and install a rom that does not have sense, cyanogen should work. I have not tried yet as I'm just too lazy to reinstall a rom and learn a new launcher.

Hi, I thought with 2.1 with bluetooth 2.1 that the MW600 bluetooth headset would have worked properley with Caller ID and Track ID but it seems thats its exactly the same as 1.6.
Anyone tried theres yet? maybe im not doing something...
I want to know too. I thought this would be solved with 2.1? Thought of getting the white one to go with my white X10, but guess not if it'll never show the caller id and track id.
after digging around some more it looks like it dont work in 2.2 froyo either.
disapointed as i thought it was a 1.6 limitation but it seems its a bluetooth limitation on android.
im sure someone can give us a better answer.
samething happen to me nothing changed
Its a limitation to the Android OS itself, not SE. Blame Google for not including this feature :\
I was wondering if any Developer could create an application for that? Because it seems that OpenWatch has done 1 for the Bluetooth watches MBW150 and MBW200.
Android does not support the AVRCP Profile 1.3 the profile is used to transfer information e.g. IDV3 tags and etc to the device.

As far as I know the ARVCP Profile of Bluetooth is responsible for Play / Pause / FWD / BACK / Metadata Display.
Unfortunately, Android is stuck at v1.0 of the profile. The Metadata is displayed only after v1.3 and above.

Anyone know if its technically possible to get the sound routed to standard bluetooth 'hands-free' device. I know I've successfully done this on all my past devices with help of 3rd party software. I see several iterations of software for android out right now, but none have worked for me on Atrix.
I know buying a AD2P headset would be the ideal software free workaround. But I've tried a lot of bluetooth hands-free out there, and the one I have now is just so comfortable, I just can't switch to A2DP until it absolutely dies.
I've seen a few people requesting this across other forums, wondering if the Atrix is even accessible programming wise to do this?
thanks
I don't understand your question. I have a bluetooth headset which I play music on, and which auto cuts music for calls, has a mic, you can dial by voice command, etc.
It's hands free like any other bluetooth headset other than the power button, volume buttons, etc.
What exactly are you asking?
I believe OP is requesting any App that can be used to Hear Music on a Mono Bluetooth Headset which do not support A2DP Profile.
Using regular Bluetooth without A2DP profile will allow us to Just make /Receive Calls, not for Music.
I also tried BT Mono, but it didn't worked for Atrix and eager to know any other way we can able to hear music thru regular Bluetooth Headset

SakDroid is correct. Not all bluetooth headsets support the AD2P profile, and some phones won't play music to them for a reason unknown to me. I've had 4 phones with this same bluetooth headset and only one of them natively would play music with it. All others I had to install app to redirect sound...such as the referred to BTmono. So I know it's possible on Android, just wondering if there is something preventing it on the Atrix, or just hasn't been developed yet.
I would gladly pay to get development started on this. Since I would have to pay money for one supporting A2DP, but you know how it is when you have that one that fits/works just perfectly. I've bought a few that do support the profile, but ended up returning them all, as they just weren't comfortable to wear very long.
Btmono worked for me on my samsung epic 4g on froyo....then sprint sent an ota update to their version of gingerbread 2.3.6. it is very phone specific with what your carrier puts out I think because my wife has an stock htc evo running 2.3.5, and my brother has samsung epic touch running 2.3.7 and both of those different phones work fine with it. So what did I do....I found a custom rom that was built off 2.2.1 froyo. I didn't read the full thread so I don't know what exactly what phone this is for. Only option is to get to know everything you can do with you phone, root it and try different roms. Young and old. Also...on the eipc forum we had a discussion about this....they all had the same issues with gb...even the custom roms. Would love for the developers to learn a work around, since is up their ally...but shortly after there was a good leak for ice cream sandwich which I tried and its pretty good...just a bit buggy for me. When all the kniks are work out will be moving onto that and bypassing any gb that is out for the epic. So my advise, again, is just try different stock roms first....just to find out which ones...if any will work. Then you will know what custom one to look for...if you into that sorta thing.

Bluetooth on my TB doesn't connect to my computer or elantra, but it does easily to headsets. Anyone else experiencing this?

My bluetooth will connect to my car to answer phones calls but as far as being able to play pandora after rooting I having been able to do that.
I think the AOSP roms are the only ones that correctly implement the latest blue tooth stack. HTC uses an older and broken implementation. If blue tooth means that much to you, I would try looking a non sense rom

I have an AOSP ROM, I can talk through the bluetooth in my car but I cant play music like I did when I had stock. I am planning on flashing some different ROMs on my 8 days off this coming week, I dont like running into problems while I am at work and then I get busy. I will report back to see if any other AOSP ROMs work and which dont. As of right now
Th3ory's ROM I have listed - Talk ( yes ) Music streaming ( no )

For what it's worth, I can listen to music on the latest stable CM7 using imo's latest kernel using various music players. I use a bluetooth stereo headset. Bluetooth stack is located in the kernel only I believe. Perhaps try a different one?

I did download a different Kernel on my phone, will prob flash that before I switch ROMs just to see if I can get better battery life before I restore Th3ory's 1.3.1 AO5P. I was getting way better battery life on 1.3 than I am getting on 1.4 I hadto switch to battsaver on speedtweak to get the same about of battery I do on 1.4 that I use to on 1.3.

It fails for things like the PS3 Controller and I've seen people saying they can't get a keyboard to sync. However if you read my post I said HTC, not aftermarket modified kernels based on sense . Good to know that it was fixed by porting and patching things though. I never tried bluetooth on it until recently so I couldnt say from experience how it was on a sense rom
I flashed a different kernel and now I can play music in my car. On same rom listed.

How are you playing music from your Droid to your Car radio via BlueTooth? I have not been able to figure this out.

His car has bluetooth support built into it most likely. Many new cars do.
I have Bluetooth support built into my car, but I have not figured out how to do anything besides a phone call. Is there an app that you are using?

You should probably read the owner's manual for your car if you have not. Not to pull a RTFM on you
Just guessing it probably says how to do it and it varies by car.
Ya my car has a setting for "enabling Bluetooth audio", but it never recognizes my phone running cm7

It should work. It works with my girlfriend's dInc with CM7. If its like her car, you can't set it up unless the car is parked.
I have searched the past threads and did not see any about bluetooth audio issue. I have 2 plantronics headsets that both Paired properly paired 2XXPlantronics and a 220Plantronics. I am on stock GB. Is there an app or setting that I am missing to push all audio through the bluetooth? I tried super Mono but that just stopped audiop playback on my X2 and did not give me any audio through my headset. I have tried with both headsets. Thanks in advance. I think after some review this is a gingerbread issue but with all the developers hear I am hoping there is a fix or some can come up with a fix.
The headsets must support media audio in addition to phone audio. This has been the case since day one. If your headset only supports phone audio, it won't for example pay music. Don't know if anyone has tried tweaking the bluetooth stack to get around this, but the limitation has existed since before smartphones came around.

Anyone got the (stock) fm radio to go over BT?
I use a Plantronics 3XX. On my old HTC Touch Pro II, I could play music thru it with a particular setting in WM 6.5 and I think even WM 6.1 had it too. My thoughts are that it's more an Android issue regarding routing.
[EDIT] - I found on Market an app called Bluetooth Switcher for $2.99 that might work. There is also a FREE trial version for you to try out before making a purchase to see if it works on your hardware.
Bluetooth Switcher trial
Just tried it. Opens and has on/off buttons. It does nothing.
I use a Plantronics pro+.
Yes my headsets have worked with an HTC Imagio (Windows modile 6.5) and on my Dell laptop. I am thinking it is an android issue as well. I tried a friends out whos earpiece had A2DP and it worked fine but I already have a bluetooth headset and do not want to spend any more money. Thanks for all of your responses thus far.

Iirc you must have a regular 3.5 mm jack in to listen to the radio.

You have to have a headset plugged into it because it uses the cord as an antenna. No internal antenna. My Sansa MP3 player's FM radio works the same way.
Now, you can use the speaker on the phone for the radio once you have a headset plugged in. So maybe there's a way to route it thru BT if you have a headset for an antenna.
There is an apk called media switch (pro). It may work but mkt says incompatable w/ dx2. I tried the email purchase but it failed. Mkt does not know what works on MY dx2 as it also said spb shell 3d was incomp. But it works *****great-****. I had to do the email buy.
Today I wanted to use skype (the newest version) on my flyer with videochat, I recently upgraded my flyer (BB version) to honeycomb and didnt use skype since then.
Well i know that skype was working completely on Gingerbread, but when i tried videochat today, the camera lighted up (the small green led besides it) and voice and everything worked, however i was not able to get a picture of my camera.
Does anybody have skype working with the flyer and the release version of honeycomb?
Or does anyone know whats causing the problem?
Best regards
Marius

I have the BB Wifi Flyer and Skype works perfectly including both cameras, for me on HC offical release, rooted.
What version HC are you using?
The standard stock release version that globatron posted in his thread. So its the official HTC release with root.
Ill try wiping the skype data and see if it works then. Its really weird, can't use either of the cameras it just gives me a black screen nothing else
Ok I got it fixed, I just wiped the data reinstalled skype and now it works ... weird.
Has anybody managed to get Skype to work with a bluetooth headset and mic?
I can pair and use my BT headset for listening to media files and can make a Skype test call but the audio bounces back to the speakers after the first word..?
Skype has some weirdness with Bluetooth on many devices and since the phone functions for Flyers are not yet working in HC, the Bluetooth profiles may not be fully functional as well.

I've found another problem with Skype on the Flyer.
Audio during a call is only mono.
This is true for both a wired headset and the speakers....
Any ideas?

The Audio from the other called? Isn't it coming through a single mic? How could it be stereo?

What I should have said was that audio only comes thru on one channel. The left side only when using the speakers, earphones or a headset w/Mic.
When I use Skype on my android phone it comes through on both channels, same with the pc too.
The audio routing and libraries are a god awful mess in linux and therefore android. Who knows if its a Skype problem or a htc or a HC problem. At least it works, even this is a miracle in Android audio
I think it must be an HTC problem. I called tech support and they gave the standard answer that it might be resolved in a future update...
i have a lag on my front camera anyone else experience this with the hc upgrade? i tried wiping skype and reinstalling but its not helping...any fix for this??
I am experiencing the same lag on my View (running stock HC). The lag appears on both front and back cameras. I've tested the front cam video with Google Video Chat and it works much better.
Can someone else please let us know how SKype video is working on their View/Flyer, on official HC, GB or other ROM?
Thanks
I use stock GB and all appears to be fine - other than the sound only coming through on one channel (left side).
Are any of you guys getting sound on left and right channels during a call?
Stock HC , rooted, it just works. Just installed and both front and back cameras work fine.
