I want to put navigation sound output to a Nokia BT speakerphone. Will this work? T-mobile G2 by HTC.

No, it does not.

I am wanting to use my bluetooth headset for the phone microphone, but the headphone jack for the sound output. Will this app accomplish that, or will any?

@Dick Knigiht

The problem is that there are no public APIs to perform such routing. If you have root access to your phone, it becomes possible.

I want to listen to news, talk, and youtube on my standard bluetooth headset. I have read the other comments and your answers. However, I can make my Plantronics Voyager hear the audio. I have a Samsung Moment on the Sprint network. My phone came with Voicedial. If I'm listening to audio on my speakers and long-press my call button on the headset it starts my voicedial and the news audio stream comes into the headset just fine. That tells me that my headset can play the audio.

It seems to me that a simple switch to route the audio there could be developed fairly simply by someone with app development knowledge. I would be very happly to pay for such an app. From what I've read online, lots of people would love to have it available!

The app never claims to increase max volumes.

#15 gary ackerman wrote on Sun May 09 18:36:55 PDT 2010

This app did not improve the speaker phone at all. It's still too low. Is there any other way of increasing the sound on the droid

#14 Josef wrote on Wed May 05 23:01:32 PDT 2010

I would really like to buy this app (and hope it will work on my HTC Desire), but in my country I cannot use the Market for paid applications.

It there any way how to buy an app from you?

#13 Danny wrote on Thu Apr 22 11:30:05 PDT 2010

I am trying to find this app to download, but I can't see it on the market.

Possible issues? - In Canada (We have paid apps access now) - Milestone (not Droid) - 2.1 (not 2.01 anymore)

I scan the barcode from this page, and try searching by name on the market and nothing shows up...

Your phone supports A2DP, your headset does not. That is the problem.

#11 Htc wrote on Mon Apr 12 06:08:55 PDT 2010

Hi, I'm in Canada. I have a Rogers Htc Dream with 1.5 loaded. I can't seem to get my bluetooth to play my mp3s. Will your app fix this problem by giving my phone the AD2P profile I need to allow this functionality.

Is there a free demo around so I can test this?

Thanks

@andy

No, AAM does not allow changing headset volume independently of microphone volume.

#9 andy wrote on Mon Mar 29 07:27:20 PDT 2010

Does this allow me to change the volume of my own voice in the ear piece, indepenent of the volume of the callers voice? I think its called sidetone. If not, have you heard of anything that does?

#8 Authenticated User Perry Nguyen wrote on Mon Feb 22 11:47:03 PST 2010

The phone plays music fine over A2DP. Bluetooth headset profile does not have enough bandwidth for quality audio so there is no support for it in android. A2DP support is widespread across bluetooth audio devices (see clarion headsets for cars, and any stereo bluetooth headphones).

#7 Don Magnus wrote on Mon Feb 22 07:45:12 PST 2010

Ok, it looks like I bought this app by mistake. I thought it would enable me to listen to music, etc. through my Blue Ant Q1 bluetooth headset. Apparently that is not the case. Why doesn't this phone have that capability. I'm very surprised it doesn't.

@nephilim

no, it is not for allowing regular bluetooth headset devices to listen to music.

#4 NEPHILIM wrote on Fri Dec 25 21:44:48 PST 2009

Does this app allow u 2 use your bluetooth to listen to music or youtube...etc? Truenephilim@aol.com

#3 Authenticated User Perry Nguyen wrote on Fri Dec 11 12:45:22 PST 2009

I don't believe it will be possible to route notification sounds into bluetooth as of yet.

#2 DmdFreak wrote on Fri Dec 11 10:33:06 PST 2009

So it turns out that when I connect my S0 bluetooth, your app turns off the speaker as I set it to do, but it also mutes notifications. If someone calls, I get the ringer through the headset, but I do not recieve text notifications other than vibrate.

I like the app as it seems to almost do exactly what I want, but I really need it to notify me of incoming texts & emails.

Thanks!

Hi. I bought your app from the market. It seems to be very close to what I'm trying to accomplish. Maybe you can help me or look at my suggestion as a possible future addition.

I want to be able to listen to music, or mp3 books with my S9 bluetooth headset and hear notifications and ringers only through the headset when I'm doing so. I don't want to silence them while I'm listening through the headset, only silence the speaker from playing them so everyone else doesn't hear them.
