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
Paulo
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.
Hey ladies and gentlemen,
I have a tablet installed in my car as the audio headunit. The current set up has me turn on my tethering on phone and have tablet connect to that. From there I can run pandora etc and play music. My question is if there is an app that I can just stream the pandora music etc from my phone to the tablet (basically turn my tablet into a2dp). Thanks guys
The one that comes with Samsung Galaxy S2 is very good. It can stream music using blue tooth.

Which app? Also I know how to stream to Bluetooth devices that are built in cars. But whenever I don't know how to stream to tablet. I can send files etc. But my hope is to have Pandora app recognize tablet as a2dp device and stream to tablet when connected.
Why not just tether the tablet to the phone and stream directly from the tablet?

App to stream A2DP audio FROM iphone TO android tablet used in Car
I too am looking for an app on a tablet (IF IT EXISTS) that can have any A2DP device stream bluetooth, stereo audio TO the tablet, to be able to play the audio through its headphone jack. Idea here is for people that take an off the shelf Galaxy Tab 7 or the new Nexus Tablet and use it as their infotainment center in their car, cleanly installed behind a bezel, self powered, etc... does this app exist?

Hey gys.. There s a way for streaming music frm one android device to another android device through wifi... Try d app cald "SOUND SEEDER". Available in playstore... And don hav any idea abt connecting iphone to android...
Is there any way (using an adapter) to stream music from my Evo LTE to my AV receiver over my wifi network? Right now Im using a BT adapter that I plug into my receiver, however, range is kind of limited.
If your receiver has WiFi networking capabilities, my Denon AVR1912 does it over WiFi. I must use the stock music app though

I've got this unit and it does great. Also streams video and some apps as well ....will let you multi-task on your phone while you stream.

Don't you have to plug that in to your tv? Or can I plug it in directly into the AV receiver? I dont want to have to have the TV on when playing music.
If your receiver takes HDMI inputs, you could use the Media Link HD to pass the audio through that.

I was just doing this to my tv, which is on the network. As long as its on your network you should have no problem.

Since the Media Link has turned out to be terrible, I'm not sure there is a wireless option that isn't bluetooth unless your receiver natively supports it. I've been looking for a wifi stereo adapter similar to what a bluetooth one would do, but they don't seem to exist. It's a shame because the bluetooth range is so limited. Does anyone know of anything I might have missed in my search?
Besides the Nexus Q. Something that competes with bluetooth would have to be reasonably priced.
Can you stream to your xbox /ps3 through dlna, and play that through the receiver?

Hmm. Just tried this over my WDTV. Apparently BubbleUPnP can just make it play things, that's pretty cool. Is there a better recommended app? I would like to be able to play more than files, like any type of audio that might come out of my phone as if I were plugged in directly through the headphone jack.
Hello. Does anyone know if the T959 can connect to two bluetooth devices at once, or is the bluetooth version too old? I tried connecting a speaker and a headset but only one would work at a time.
However what I really want to do is connect an external bluetooth GPS receiver and a bluetooth speaker at the same time. Will it work?

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?
