mono Bluetooth head set and music - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

a paired mono bt headset is alright for talk but music is not directed to it. When some third party apps are able to send music to the headset why is it not possible to make android do it natively?

Bluetooth Audio

How do I get all audio on my Verizon Touch Pro to play through my bluetooth earpiece?
With my Motorola Q, I connected the bluetooth device, it changed to a Headset profile and all audio (tcpmp, windows media, etc) played through the bluetooth device.
When I connect the same bluetooth earpice to my Touch Pro, the only time it activates is if I hit voice command or once a call is connected.
I also have bluetooth stereo headphones with that stereo profile and those do get audio from Windows Media player.
How do I get audio from TCPMP/Windows Media to play through the Hands Free profile that the bluetooth earpieces I have use?
Anyone able to help with this? I'm disappointed that I can't listen to audio through a bluetooth headset with the hands-free profile.
There has to be a simple fix.
Tap and hold the name of the headset and tap 'Set as Wireless Stereo.'
That option is grayed out for my mono headsets.
Any other ideas?

that is because your headset is not a2dp. what you did before was just have the crappy audio go across your headset without true a2dp so the sound was pretty bad. i have jabra bt8010 and sometimes i have to refresh the option on my headset to set wireless stereo. if i don't, the audio is piss poor because i'm just piggy backing ontop of the voice command audio stream.

Yes, I understand that.
But, my question is how can I get audio to come through my mono bluetooth headset when it's connected? On my Motorola Q, ALL audio routed through the headset when it was connected. On the TP, only if I start voice command or make a call does audio get sent to the headset.
I use the headset to listen to podcasts, so that's what I'm looking for.
I did find a program that would route all audio through the headset, but I do have to run it each time I connect the headset. I suppose that will suffice though.

Navigation over phone Speakers when attached via Bluetooth

So I have the following question:
I just bought a new car with full bluetooth integration. It works great! I was wondering if I could do the following:
Have the phone synced with the car, but have the navigation sounds still play over the phone speakers.
Would this be possible to do with a hack? Are there third party programs that allow this? From what I found this isn't possible to do in base android.
The navigation does play great through the car speakers if I have the bluetooth audio stream selected as my audio input on the stereo. The problem is that if I don't have that selected, or I'm on a call, it doesn't play anything.
Thanks in advance!

[Q] stream music via two mono headsets

just interested if this is possible, i have an app which stream stereo music to a mono headset (probs mixes both channels)
however if i had two mono headsets, would it be possible to stream L audio to one headset and R audio to another? i have an old motorola headset and a newer plantronics one
No as only one bluetooth device can be active at any one time.
you could
you could use a 3.5mm audio splitter but i think it will drain battery and as from your question you want wireless but might be usefull for you.

[Q] no music in a BT mono earphone?

i've got a mono BT earphone which works fine for phone calls, but when I play music it's routed via the phone speaker, not the earphone.
is this an x10mp "feature"?
any way to circumvent this, that is, getting music on the mono earphone?
TIA

Playing music during call

Hello!
I have a Bluetooth speaker and I am trying to play music with my phone during call. What I want is to play the music on the Bluetooth speaker while I am talking on the phone, using the phone's microphone and speakers. Is there any way I can implement this?
