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.
My car 2008 mitsubishi eclipse gt se. Dosent have any inputs,or bluetooth for music which stinks it has a awesome stock system a 650-watt (max.) Rockford-Fosgate Premium Audio system with SIRIUS Satellite Radio, including 6-month pre-paid subscription....The system plays through nine speakers, including a 10-inch subwoofer.
So heres my question without bluetooth or inputs to my radio, the sirius satellite radio has a ID/ESN number right? to link it...is there a way to connect to it with my phone, like push music through some type of channel or something?....i hate not having any inputs on my car radio, But I want to keep it stock , just trying to figure out any ideas,or people thoughts on this......thanks
the link was removed by the system it says
I got an adapter like that on ebay for a factory CD changer on a 2004 Chrysler and it has been perfect.
so where does the adapter plug into?...im confused i have no inputs?...just a 6 disk changer in head unit...so i was thinking of a way to carry a signal thru sirus perhaps?
from the ebay listing found doing a search for "aux input mitsubishi eclipse":
*2005-2009 models without Factory Navigation Radio
Mitsubishi aux input to 3.5mm (headphone) Replaces Mitsubishi MZ360135EX
Cable is 3 foot long.
This cable allows an Auxiliary audio source to be played through your factory radio. Radio must be aux capable. To find out turn on your radio and press down and hold down the CD button. Radio should then enter ''AUX'' mode, seen on Radio screen.
Aux input port wire in through your factory wiring harness. Very easy to do. The hardest part is removing the radio. Full installation directions are available via Email upon request.
This kit will plug into the headphone plug on a source such as a Microsoft Zune, Zen Player, iRiver, SanDisc, Samsung player and any other mp3 player.
You can get an FM transmitter. You plug the phone into the transmitter and it broadcasts the audio over a non-used FM channel. You set your radio to that channel and recieve your audio.
For example,

or
http://www.ebay.com/itm/FM-radio-Tr...er_MP3_Player_Accessories&hash=item3cc3f2819f
I use a Bluetooth speakerphone with a built-in fm transmitter. It puts the mic right in front of you and sends the output to the stereo.
Disclaimer: This is not advice. It is just something that fell from between my ears.
cool, thanks for the advice and imput....gonna check out to see if i have a aux through menu..never seen it before,,though sometimes its behind the head unit....if not gonna go transmitter route....

whoa i never seen one of those before....Have you seen anything like that for a Samsung note? If not just gonna buy a cheap ipod touch i use it for music...i like that idea...thanks
If neither of those ebay items does Bluetooth to FM, take a look at Sound Fly, they have several models (they also do audio jack to FM and built-in SD card reader to FM). I like BT to FM better because its one less thing to fiddle with each time I get into and out of my car. Pull my phone out of my pocket, hit play and go. Even when streaming XM via the data connection it only pulls 15% of the battery per hour so I don't bother plugging in a charge connection either.
By the way, do not bother with the SiriusXM app if you have an online account. It will NOT give you the full 128 kbps you can get with other options (such as streaming from your desktop computer). Get Xiia Lite from the market and go to mobile.musicdock.com. Make sure you set 128 in the settings after you log into musicdock, then set up your favorite channels, and you are good to go. Much better sound.
Hi. I have a Galaxy S Wifi 3.6 (EU edition of Galaxy Player 3.6 - YP-GS1). I'm trying to stream audio to my Car Stereo (built-in Ford Fiesta audio). I have been able to pair my Galaxy to the Ford Audio bluetooth receiver doing this :
Enable BT discovery on my Galaxy
Search for devices
My Car Stereo gave me a pin and i entered it in my Galaxy
Now, i see a BT device named "Ford Audio" on the BT settings page, but it does show a phone icon. I don't know if this is right or not, as i don't have any other BT receiver to test. It shows as "paired" (even when i'm far from my car), but i havn't been able to get the Music from my Galaxy to the Car Stereo via A2DP so far.
I have installed a few different widgets from Google Play to control BT but no matter what Widget i try, i can't get the status to "connected" (for those Widgets that actually show a status). Also, when i try to use the menu of my Car Stereo, i can't see my Galaxy in the connected BT devices, whether i look into Phones or Audio / Bluetooth.
I guess i messed something up, but when searching on the net how to do this, it's always very simple : enable BT discovery, search and enter the PIN (which is exactly what i did). Then everything will work fine (actually, nothing works at al l )
EDIT : I should probably add i have Androïd 2.3.6 stock rom (non rooted). Version n° is GINGERBREAD.XXLD1.
Greetings
I'm struggling with one thing on my new lovely device:
I can't get my Ultra to play FM radio through HDMI. Here's the details
- I've tried to root and use Spirit2 player and Soundabout manipulation app.
- My TV is not MHL compatible, could this have effect?
TuneIn and other sources work, but I can not use volume control with these. It's on mute or on full volume and nothing between. Is this also because my TV doesn't support MHL?
Edit:
Ok so apparently Spirit2 app can use FM radio without headset -> Now FM radio will play through MHL / HDMI. But if I plug in the headset I've got no way to get the audio through HDMI. Or I don't know solution for it, does anyone?
- Headset is pretty important because the reception is bad without it.
SOLUTION FOUND:
Just snap off the head of the 3.5 jack so that only thickest ground part takes contact. Now the phone won't recognize headset and I'm able to put audio through MHL/HDMI with .spirit2 FM tuner app. From .spirit2 option you have to unmark all the voice output options and then MHL/HDMI feed will be enabled.
Hi!
Does anyone know how to use FM radio without headphones plugged in?
My phone is running the latest RR ROM and I have a bluetooth headphone. I'm not able to use FM radio because it requires a wired headphone plugged in. I tried to plug-in just the P2 conector, not the entire wired thing, but, my phone didn't recognize it as a headphone, so, it kept asking for a wired headphone plugged in.
I saw some tutorials about modifying the FM Radio APK, but, they are like too old and doesn't have the same files and stuff.
Thanks!
