Hey all, I'm new to this Android business and Googling around isn't helping me too much.
If I have a BT headset attached to my phone/tablet, can I route the sound output to the miniplug on the device and still use some of the hard buttons on the BT headset?
I'm mainly thinking that I want a Bluetooth remote for my tablet and the only ones that I can find are attached to headsets or have miniplug out. I need to keep the audio going through the device directly (through headphone or stripped audio from the HDMI-out), any advice?
Thanks!
Is it possible to use wired headset and bluetooth headset so two people can listen to the same music at the same time?
ps. i did read the auto suggested thread that comes up when making a thread. most of them are way back year '06.
hoping our s3's hardware is capable of it.
I posted this a while back in the Samsung Galaxy Player forum and didn't get any replies so I thought I'd repost it here in case someone has a answer.
--------------------------------
I've been searching here and eleswhere and can't find a answer so I finally decided to ask. If I posted this in the wrong forum I'm sorry, but I have a SGP5 so I figured this would be the place to start.
I have a app that I can run on my SGP5 that controls the functions of a communications radio (Ham Radio) over the Bluetooth serial protocol. What I need is a way to get the audio from the radio to the speakers on the SGP5. I do have a BT A2DP clip-on headset (built in mic & plug in earbuds) on order. From what I understand, the Android system only allows one mic/spk combination (internal, plug-in, bluetooth) to be used at a time. What I need is to route the radio audio into the headset mic, over the paired/connected bluetooth link, to the SGP5, and have it heard out the internal speakers. And the reverse, SGP5 mic to headset speaker. Not finding anyone doing something like this (using for remote mic pickup or as a baby Monitor for example) makes me think that it can't be done.
So my question is: Is this a Software (app) issue, a Firmware (rooting) issue, or is it set in stone in hardware?
Thanks for any answers/suggestions.

One more time I ask my question that I see in other forums still unanswered, since 2007.
Is it possible to listen to FM radio bringing some mobiles (eg S3) using bluetooth headset?
I know it takes physical headphone cable antenna to do. I have no problem to plug some wire if that is necessary.
But I want to listen to the radio (not streaming with apps like tunein) via bluetooth.
Does anyone know if this is possible? I do not think it's something SO difficult. With the application of native MP3 music player on my S3 I have a choice if I want to output to the external speaker or bluetooth.
How hard is it to do something similar to the radio?
Is there no cooked ROM to do it?
thank you very much
No it is not possible because the earphone wire acts as an external antennae for the radio. If you don't believe me, grab an old pair of earphones that don't work and chop off 2/3rds of the cable. Plug it in and go on FM radio app and output sound to speaker. It will work fine.
Kind Regards

I know that the wire is necessary as antenna. I wrote that in my text.
The thing that I want is to connect a wire in the jack, and to have the possibility of redirecting the output thru bluetooth.
Hi,
it is possible, check if your device is supported by Spirit fm. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1059296
Using a digital audio method enables output over bt-headset. :thumbup:

Many thanks Chillmann. I have just installed SpiritFM in my Samsung S3 and it works. But I have only two alternatives in Settings/Audio/Output: headset or speaker. I don´t have alternative "bluetooth".
Yes, because there is none such alternative ^^
U need to change Settings/Audio/Method (select a digital method for ur device and all the sound will go throu BT as long as a BT-Device is paired with ur Phone. U cant even force sound back throu wired Headset unless u disconnect from BT)
Maybe the Free Version doesnt provide this option
I have bought the paid version and it works perfectly!!! Finnally I can listen to the radio thru my bluetooth intercom when I am riding my motorcycle, and without streaming. Many thanks.
My FM Radio and madiatek fans in 2021 Lol, you may be able to listen to FM Radio, using the stock fm radio app, through bluetooth.
My case is the Blu G9 Pro on Android 10 mtk6771. I also tried my old Blu R1 HD and also works.
Simply:
1. Connect wired headset, (still required) for antennae,
2. Launch fm radio app, pick a station and play as usual.
3. While fm is playing through wired headset, connect bluetooth headset.
Fm radio audio is redirected to bluetooth headset automatically.
This will need to be done each time you want to use fm radio with bluetooth.
Why is this important to me? I am rooted with magisk and Viper4Android installed. Now I can enjoy free FM Radio through Bluetooth headset with the best audio quality using Viper4Android.
What'd y'all think?
Hi. My Teclast P80X Android tablet is unable to play the sound of its FM Radio tuner app to Bluetooth, being either bluetooth connected headphones or external speakers. The device naturally requires wired headphones to be plugged in to the 3.5mm socket when running the FM Radio app, so it can use the headphone cable as radio antenna, and it plays the radio sound through the wired headphones by default. The app provides a speaker icon which can be pressed to switch the sound output to the tablet's internal speakers. However this does not route the sound to a connected bluetooth device, and there is no option to make it so!!
The FM Radio app offers recording option, and plays recorded sound parts through bluetooth if a device is connected, but again there is no way to hear the live radio sound through Bluetooth.
My older tablets, Vodafone Speed Tab 6, or another Alcatel one managed to do this correctly with ease.
Could anyone please offer another generic FM Radio app that can be installed, that manages to deliver sound output to Bluetooth on this device? I am specifically looking to play radio stations received through antenna, and definately not those received by web streaming.
Many thanks for any help
