I have a unique question that I have not found the answer to yet, so I thought I would ask. Is there a way to delay the audio being sent to a Bluetooth device? I use a Bluetooth receiver for my hearing aids and when the phone sends any audio to the streamer my hearing aids switch to the Bluetooth audio mode, then play an audio tone letting me know it switched, and then finally play the audio. The problem is that it usually takes a few moments to go through these sequence of events and in order to keep the audio in sync with most things, cuts off part of what played. That means I don't hear short notification rings and I just hear the tone of my hearing aids switching modes. Therefore I have the tone also play on my phone's speaker. That is not ideal though. Any suggestions?

You're trying to find a way to delay audio notifications for things like text msgs so you can hear it in you hearing aid after the bluetooth triggers on? Don't know a way to delay the audio but you could try using longer files so at least you can hear the tail end of the audio.
You might also look into something like AutomateIt. You can set it up to trigger a notification whenever you receive a text msg and use the delayed execution function to delay the audio by a second or two. Unfortunately, you can only set that up for text msgs and not email or voicemail. You could also try Tasker. It's a lot more capable than AutomateIt so you might be able to set up something that meets your needs.
Don't know how much this helps you but hopefully it gives you some ideas you could look into.
Awesome suggestions! Thanks I did want to delay the audio and I will have to see if it works.

Car stereo has bluetooth. I finally hooked up a microphone so it's usable in the car for making calls. When I place a call everything works fine, but when I receive a call I can't hear the caller, although they can hear me fine.
Anyone else experience this and find a fix?

Yes, I keep finding this myself and I have discovered the "problem" and solution
Basically, any incoming calls default to handset speaker and you have to manually tap "bluetooth" to transfer the call to the headset/handsfree. When making outgoing calls, it defaults to Bluetooth from the offset so no problem!
What I do not know, however, is how to force it to default to Bluetooth on incoming call...
I have not seen that issue and I use BT in my car a lot. BB351
Something else that could be the case: Are you listening to music through A2DP bluetooth at the time that the call comes in? It's possible that the transition from A2DP to headset protocol is what is "blocking" the call from going straight to the handsfree?
chaosdefinesorder is correct, you could have a misbehaving music app (or any other app with audio over bluetooth, such as navigation).
I know that PowerAmp and Playerpro both work well with bluetooth with the music stopping when a call comes in.
I was listening to FM radio at the time. When the call ends it always go back to whatever I was listening to.
So next time I should tap the phone button on the radio instead of sliding the button on the phone, apparently.

This was it. I have to answer the head unit, not the phone.
Operator error.
I use my phone to stream music to my car's stereo, and when I get a notification of any sort, it plays from my phone and then echoes through my car's speakers. This is rather annoying and I can't find a workaround. If I put my phone on vibrate when I enter the car, then I get no noise from either, and I'd never know if I missed a message or something. Just wondering if anyone has a method to force notification sounds through one audio output or another, not both.

JVC KDX50BT is my stereo, if that makes any difference

I would also like to know this. I have a bluetooth speaker at work and a bluetooth car stereo. When listening to music, it is annoying to hear the music cut out and play a notification for an e-mail or SMS message.
Have You guys tried to set notifications volume to none? There are surely plenty of programs that change the phone profile after for e.g. connecting to bluetooth device.

For some odd reason the GS3 seems to still play sounds (rings, notifications, etc) on the device as well as the BT headset when connected; causing an unecessary echo. On all my previous devices, all sounds were directed to the headset. Any way to change this? Couldn't find it under Settings.
Bump!

I'm experiencing the same problem but I'd like to broaden the scope.
My Bose MIE2I's are plugged into the 3.5mm slot not BT and do not receive the notifications, nor do they work for speaking through the phone and listening to the other party on the call.
I'm used to them not controlling my multimedia and voice control as per my GSII but their functionality being constricted on a higher model phone perplexes me.

Have you try application name BT mono? search in Google play. try that application. it pretty much make your BT headset as output sound. So music notification can play through BT headset
For Bluetooth- turn on the device and find it in the Bluetooth settings. Then click on the wheel beside it and check both vocal and media audio.
same issue here.. driving my nuts..
want all rings notifications etc in the earpiece only.
I want to mute my phone and have all sound routed 100% to the earpiece.

I know this is an old topic, but I was searching for a solution for the exact same issue and thought I'd add my .02 cents here as well.
Anyone come up with a solution to this yet?
Hi All
Im using a motorola hz800 bluetooth headset. the audio on voice call seems to be on time but the notification sounds all seem to have about 1 second of delay before reaching the head set. Notification sounds from system or third party apps. Even the ripple sound effects at lock screen also delays.
Anyone else encounter this interesting 'issue' ?

No One ? Hmm I guess Im the only lucky one!
I am getting notification sounds coming from the phone, even though I might be listening to something over Bluetooth. Then, about a second later, the notification sound comes through the Bluetooth headset.
Im using a jabra stereo headset and get the 1 second delay also. I had the same delay with my HTC desire but that used to cut out half the sound, where as the S3 plays it all.
Hey all,
Ive tried about a dozen "mono" apps and have found nothing that will do what I want. I have also tried the Droid Incredible and my current phone the GS3. I have a 2011 BMW and for some reason they didnt include a2dp in their stereo system. Nothing I do will force the stereo to play music or notifications, or read out lout texts through the car speakers. The only thing that will go through is phone calls.
HOWEVER, Ive accidentally discovered something interesting. If I am on a call through bluetooth in the car and navigating at the same time, the navigation voice will come through the cars speakers as well.
So what I need is something to trick the car into thinking my phone is on a call, thus triggering the bluetooth to transmit phone sounds through the speakers, this way I can use a text message reader, music, whatever.
So the app/hack would need to emulate whatever the phone does with bluetooth signals when it starts a call. All sounds the phone makes should go to bluetooth.....which it seems like its already doing while on a call.
Thanks to anyone who responds. Mod: If there is a better place for this, feel free to move it.

I have a lexus that also for whatever reason doesnt have A2DP supported, there is a app called BTMONO that will make your radio think your phone is in a call and will transmit sound. However it is mono tone so if you are doing it for music it will not be your best bet.
I am still looking for something that will play music in stereo without the A2DP

I am working on this now for the SoundAbout app.
Tried searching and I could not find any other threads relating to this topic. I am trying to trick my car (Lexus) bluetooth into playing music. It does not have A2DP. Has anyone come up with a way to do this? Has anyone been able to do this with the SoundAbout app ?
It worked !!! I just tried an ap called "blue2car" on my iphone . .... I own a 2006 Bmw 530xi . ... damn , I wish I would have found this app 8 years ago ... it cost 10.99 but it is worth it ......
