Are there any apps available for the Atrix to play audio over a mono bluetooth headset? I have tried the Super BT Mono Froyo and BTMono apps from the android marketplace and have not been able to get them to work.
Any suggestions (Besides using an A2DP headset)?
I 2nd that! Device not usable to me w/o this option. I've been able to enable this with all my other devices for the last 4 years at least. Not allowed to have both ears covered at work, BT hands-free only option to listen to podcasts at work. Makes 10 hour days seem like forever since I got Atrix and lost this ability. Not sure how many others willing to pay for this, but I would commit a large donation for sure to anyone who has the ability to get something working on the Atrix.
I'd love to findng something that does this as well. Any thoughts?
BTMono works well for me, but I wish Android would support it natively.

I tried btmono but it didn't work for me. What's the version of your android?
It was actually a feature on the stock Froyo build but for some reason it disappeared when I switched to GB. I've always thought it was just my headset though. I had a Plantronics Explorer but I lost it around the time I switched so I don't know if that was the issue.

I have searched the past threads and did not see any about bluetooth audio issue. I have 2 plantronics headsets that both Paired properly paired 2XXPlantronics and a 220Plantronics. I am on stock GB. Is there an app or setting that I am missing to push all audio through the bluetooth? I tried super Mono but that just stopped audiop playback on my X2 and did not give me any audio through my headset. I have tried with both headsets. Thanks in advance. I think after some review this is a gingerbread issue but with all the developers hear I am hoping there is a fix or some can come up with a fix.
The headsets must support media audio in addition to phone audio. This has been the case since day one. If your headset only supports phone audio, it won't for example pay music. Don't know if anyone has tried tweaking the bluetooth stack to get around this, but the limitation has existed since before smartphones came around.

Anyone got the (stock) fm radio to go over BT?
I use a Plantronics 3XX. On my old HTC Touch Pro II, I could play music thru it with a particular setting in WM 6.5 and I think even WM 6.1 had it too. My thoughts are that it's more an Android issue regarding routing.
[EDIT] - I found on Market an app called Bluetooth Switcher for $2.99 that might work. There is also a FREE trial version for you to try out before making a purchase to see if it works on your hardware.
Bluetooth Switcher trial
Just tried it. Opens and has on/off buttons. It does nothing.
I use a Plantronics pro+.
Yes my headsets have worked with an HTC Imagio (Windows modile 6.5) and on my Dell laptop. I am thinking it is an android issue as well. I tried a friends out whos earpiece had A2DP and it worked fine but I already have a bluetooth headset and do not want to spend any more money. Thanks for all of your responses thus far.

Iirc you must have a regular 3.5 mm jack in to listen to the radio.

You have to have a headset plugged into it because it uses the cord as an antenna. No internal antenna. My Sansa MP3 player's FM radio works the same way.
Now, you can use the speaker on the phone for the radio once you have a headset plugged in. So maybe there's a way to route it thru BT if you have a headset for an antenna.
There is an apk called media switch (pro). It may work but mkt says incompatable w/ dx2. I tried the email purchase but it failed. Mkt does not know what works on MY dx2 as it also said spb shell 3d was incomp. But it works *****great-****. I had to do the email buy.
I have a jvc deck that has built in blutooth. It routes the sound they the car speakers and uses a wired microphone. Call quality transmit an receive is pretty damn good. However, when using bluetooth audio...say pushing anything from the music app, or pandora, there is alot of static attached to the signal. Does anyone else have this problem? Are there any solutions. I am rooted but still stock. I use poweramp as well as the default player at times.

I have a jvc deck as well, and I don't have any problems with static over bluetooth. I use Pandora and Google play music, and both work great for me on stock, CM7, CM9, and MIUI. MIUI actually works the best for me as far as bluetooth playing nice with the head unit.
Never used power amp or stock tho, so I can't speak for that.

I have no issues with mine Pandora,stock music player ,google play music, TuneIn Radio work good... with my car's unit
Thought I really hate the annoying noise when I use the wired earphones.
Ill have to experiment with a few other players. I rarely use the phone for streaming in the car. Odd, I really dint pick up any noise with wired cans. On a side note, I found a new player 'neutron' that blows away anything I've used this far in the sq department. Its a paid app that offers a limited use 'timed' trial.

Similar issue
I've also got a semi-stock Photon 4G. Been using it fine in my Ford Fusion w/ Sync. Sunday, tried to make a phone call and it was just static. Turned off the bluetooth on my phone and it was fine. Now, it's unable to make a call through Sync. It pairs fine, just nothing but static. Why the sudden change? No new updates from Motorola or Sprint that I'm aware of. BTW, by semi-stock, I mean it's rooted. No custom ROM's or what not. Any ideas? I've googled some and it seems that the Photon 4G has some bluetooth related issues. I really like the phone and had really planned on holding off on upgrading since there wasn't a real 'need'. Another issue I've had lately is receiving texts w/ no sound. It vibrates, but doesn't give me a sound. I checked the setting and even when scrolling through the notification sounds, it doesn't do it. Then it will randomly do it. Rebooted and battery pulls have been done. Really, REALLY don't want to do a reset. Ideas? Are they related?
I use bluetooth audio everyday, and I've used every rom except stock. Bluetooth always works very well. Rule out your jvc device first, test your Bluetooth on something else. Then reset or reflash, then use your warranty.

I also intermittently get static when making calls in my Focus via Sync over Bluetooth. I can faintly hear the caller in the background, but the static is MUCH louder than the person. When this occurs, there are some other symptoms the phone exibits:
No audio will play via multiple apps. Tested in Pandora (cycles from one song to another), Amazon MP3 (same as Pandora), Youtube (Gives an error about audio), Voicemail (Unable to play the message).
Alarms only vibrate, no audible alarm.
When trying to do a call via speakerphone, the person on the other end cannot hear me.
The fix I have found is to reboot. The phone is stock, but has been rooted, and has occurred for the past few months, even with the update that came out at the beginning of August. I tried reflashing it in June with the 198 SBF, but didn't do a reset of the data. The reflash succeeded, but the problem is still occurring. I removed "Words with Friends" and "Scramble with Friends" last night to see if it helps.

Lt_data - I'm sorry to say that the only solution I found for mine was upgrading to an EVO 4G LTE and getting a credit for my photon...lol. Good luck!

Rats. Too bad I hate Sense, so I'll probabpy go with a Galaxy S III, even though I dont like TouchWiz. However, Touchwiz is preferable to Sense. Might go Galaxy Nexus, not sure. For now, haven't had it reoccur yet, but we'll see.
Good news: not a single reoccurance of the static over bluetooth and no audio. I still wonder how an app can effectively crash the audio stack, though. Oh well.

Hi,
First of all, sorry for posting in this forum(I think this should be in the dev forum).
I recently installed supermaster34's CM9 with the bluetooth patch in my GP 5 INTL, but since then I have been unable to use my old Jabra BT620 bluetooth headphones(which worked perfectly in GB). I have tested them on other devices succesfully(to see if they are working properly), so my question is... Is the A2DP bluetooth profile broken in the patch? (im using supermaster's CM9)
Thanks
Any help would be really appreciated...

Honestly I don't know. If it worked on GB it will work with the Bluetooth patch. Maybe the profiles don't work with the player 5?

Well, it worked in GB. Every other bluetooth function works properly(file transfer, searching and listening to other devices, pairing), but it just refuses to stream audio to my bluetooth stereo headphones. Maybe it is a problem within ICS??
Thanks for your previous answer!

If it worked on GB but doesn't work on ICS then it is a problem with ICS. I don't really know much about bluetooth profiles so I'm sorry for my kinda useless answers
Thanks, don't worry, maybe it's a problem within cm9 (I will investigate about it). In that case a more up to date source would be the answer.

The same thing happened to me, when i went back to stock ROM and then re-flashed cm9, it worked for me. not sure if its a complete fix for anyone, but i thought i should put it out there.
Dexter's JB Phone app doesn't work on my flyer ....
Confirmederform full wipe with all sorts of choices (ics\miui\sense....tabletUI\PhoneUI....Full 3G function)
No problem with mic and earphone, works well on G7 (it's not a bluetooth headset)
Case report:Hear nothing while making phone calls....All settings checked, doesn't work....Flashing the rom several times doesn't work
Whether this rom support phone calls with the stock earphone or not? The controller can hang up a phone call but the voice can't get through that.
Anybody have the same problem with me?
Dexter could help settle this problem?
