It is kind of weird thing I am trying to do but I am sure it is not impossible. Just looking for ways if anybody has already tried before might save my time and afforts.
At work I've PC with internet but without bluetooth, and a Galaxy S3 without data plan! I want to play music (online music streaming sites) on my PC, have that music (from audio out jack on PC) to Galaxy S3 (hope it will go to mic in if I use male to male aux cable?) and then an App that sends that incoming music stream to bluetooth audio output of GS3 and then listen to it on my sony stereo bluetooth headset!
Sounds odd right? The thing is I can not buy & plug in bluetooth dongle to my work PC and I can not afford the data plan as of now.
So looking forward to all ideas!
Thanks.

Can it be done?
When I connect via aux cable with my car nothing happens when I press previous/next on the car radio.
Thanks
Probably bc the standard 3.5mm headphone jack is only for transmitting audio, not to control anything.
This should be possible if you have a radio with USB input for flash drives or ipods but not over an aux cable. Perhaps you could try to find an aux cable with the track forward/reverse built in to the cable? I know I've seen headphones with it but not sure about the cable alone..
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I had an aux in fitted in my car and was told the next/previous would work. When it didnt they said it would only work on a ipod. Interesting comment about the cable - anyone able to confirm whether the headphones lead is different?
To be honest, with the swipe action on the music player, this doesnt really bother me as its easy to do this whilst driving. However, I'd like to switch to another music app given the random function doesnt work properly....
I definitely know where youre coming from, I've always used an ipod for music, but want to use my mt4g now (or try to).
I messed around today and here's what I've came up with:
with the aux cable (standard 3.5mm headphone cable) you only have control of the tracks on the device, not with the radio's controls. you might be able to find cable with seek buttons built in (like some headphones) to make it easier but I've never actually seen one.
If your radio has a usb input on it you can connect your phone via usb, mount the sd card (as if using mass storage on a comp) and your radio should detect and read it as a flash drive. going this route your phone will charge, but you'll ONLY be able to control tracks from the radio head unit and you wont be able to listen to Slacker Radio or Pandora or other similar apps via usb. another plus is that the processing is done by the headunit, thus you could use your headunits random function.
The last option (that I think is king) is if you have a bluetooth enabled headunit, the HD2 can stream audio over bluetooth (a2dp) to your radio. You could then pair and stream music, Slacker, Pandora, etc and maintain control on the device (I would prefer control on device and radio, but i dont see this happening) wirelessly. One huge plus to me is that you can charge it while keeping fully functionality with only one cable.
I cant find a cable with anything other than volume controls, but I wonder if either of these options would help

I've been using a BT Venturi Mini for about a year now and it works perfect. You can change streamed track/ stop start and it has no wires.So no mess, best investment ever. Plus, you can pick up calls/ voicemail via car stereo too.
Sound quality excellent, especially when you increase BT pool bitrate via HD2 tweak.
Perhaps if someone modded the headphones that come with the HD2 so that they go from 3.5 to 3.5 with the controls in the middle of the wire to use ?
Hi all,
Does anyone know how to route the audio to a Bluetooth device when the HDMI cable/connector is plugged in, as opposed to the audio going to whatever is plugged in at the end of the HDMI cable.
TIA
OH MY GOD
NO ONE REPLIED???
I really need this.. IT WILL BE AWESOME!!!!!!
I need to make it so that the headphone jack on the dock will still work when the hdmi is connected.

Just got my HDMI connector and I want to play the video through it, but the audio through my Bluetooth speakers. It does not seem to allow me to do this. Even though I connect the Bluetooth speakers, all audio comes through the tinny speakers on my monitor.
Has anyone managed to get Bluetooth audio working when connected with the HDMI adaptor?
In the app, SoundAbout, I can use HDMI video with audio output to the Phone speaker and headphones. The only problem is when connecting HDMI, the phone seems to disable the Bluetooth adapter.
I am guessing this is done so that the audio will go through HDMI. They don't ever expect you to use HDMI video with Bluetooth A2DP audio.
I am also trying to do the same. The only solution that I came up with was to route the TV's audio output to a Bluetooth transmitter which will send the audio to the Bluetooth speakers. I haven't yet tried that solution to comment on the audio quality or its sync with the movie.
you can check out the transmitter at amazon, search: "TaoTronics Wireless Portable Bluetooth Stereo Music Transmitter"
Im not looking for a portable speaker accessory what i want to do is find a way to use my g2x smartphone as a portable speaker, say if i have a friends ipod and he doesnt have headphones, iw ant a way to use an aux cable and play his music through my phones speakers. is there any way to do this or an app?
In order for you to be able to do such a task you need to have a "Line In" port on your device. What you can do is stream music from iPod Touch through WiFi to your phone.
OR
If phone supports USB host function you can connect USB Sound Card and use Line In on it.
I have the Jawbone Jambox Big and love it
I listen to music via bluetooth
I also have awesome Desktop speakers, the Logitech Z2300's
I bought the jawbone bluetooth adaptor today for my computer because it is not bluetooth.
I wanted to connect them both the same time and maybe have my logitech speakers playing in one room, with the Jambox in the other or even the same room other side
I can pair them both...no problem
I can even connect them both...no problem
But If the computer is connected for music, the Jawbone has two options, phone and media, then it switches to phone
If I switch it to media/music, the computer switches to media or file transfer or something like that
Is there a way to connect both two my GS3 as I am BUT play music thru two sets of speakers
Thanks very much
My truck has an iPod cable hidden in the center console but I've not used it since my iPhone 3GS. I'm wondering if a device exist that I could plug into that cable to accept incoming Bluetooth audio from my Nexus.
I want something to act like an iPhone (but work) to stream music via Bluetooth from my Nexus 5 but the stereo receiver sees it as an iPod/iPhone.
Bluetooth options that plug into the front AUX port and have to be charged are not what I am looking for. Too messing.
