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.
Hello everybody,
I'm searching for following solution. During office day my Android (SG2) is bound to USB and so connected to workstation for the whole day. I'm also using a headset bound to workstation also connected by USB for VoIP and Music (of coz).
Question: To avoid a second headset (for the phone), is there a solution, which could bind the workstation connected headset virtually to the attached Android device as local headset. So whenever a call comes in on the phone, I would use the desktop headset for the call?
Thank you
Dejan

Moving to Q&A
I purchased an ASUS USB-BT21 that allows me to do this on my Windows 7 PC. It uses the Broadcom 2046 chip (use to be WIDCOMM I believe) and the software that comes with it (or download from their site) allows me to pair it with my SGS and answer calls on my PC.
I think any Bluetooth 2.1+EDR adapter should allow you to do this, but I dont know that for sure.
Software Link: http://www.broadcom.com/support/bluetooth/update.php
I use the Plantronics Voyager Pro UC2 headset because it pairs with my computer and phone simultaneously. It's also capable of some interesting "presence" stuff when it connects to either device and if you're on the phone or not.
Hello all,
thank you for the input, it seems more fisible to enable BT on PC as merging any USB to BT gateway over PC to Android.
Regards
Dejan
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.
Is there a way to use the pc audio output (microphone, speakers) for the smartphone incoming calls?
With the bluetooth software on my windows netbook you can use the computer as a set of bluetooth speakers. You can simply connect to the computer like you would with say bluetooth headphones. However the microphone does not work, so you will still have to use the microphone of your mobile phone. Maybe you can look at the options on the bluetooth software on your computer? To the left of the time there should be a bluetooth icon (if your computer actually has it).

Got it.. i'll try
Currently running cm7. Did some searches, so my NT has WiFi but no Bluetooth, no power to USB so no micro USB dongle.
Stereo bluetooth dongle possible but bulky and requires separate charging.
WiFi speakers possible but can't find any.
Use app to controll another android using WiFi but requires second device.
I would love to be able to use the nt as wireless audio player.
Any ideas anyone?
You might check out the MediaHouse UPnP/DLNA app in the Play Store. Is this the capability you're looking for?
interesting but not exactly
My plan was to use the NT as a remote control for the livivg room audio. Where the audio is stored is not a problem (SD card or network is fine). The simple solution would be some Bluetooth speakers and play using the NT doing most of the work however no Bluetooth on NT makes this hard. I have cats who like chewing cables so stereo HiFi inst great, a rechargeable WiFi speaker would be awesome but all wireless speakers seem to be Bluetooth
I might look into the dongle idea, not USB but 3.5mm audio to Bluetooth dongle, its bulky but probably simplest.

Did you look at app I sugested? There are DLNA WiFi speakers -- do an Internet search for " dlna speakers wireless" to see many options.
