[REQUEST] App for Audio via Mono Bluetooth headset

I'd love to be able to send audio (FM Radio, Sound player, podcasts, etc) to my mono bluetooth headset.
I have a Scala Rider headset in my motorcycle helmet, and I'd love to hear music from my Galaxy while riding.
I found "Super BT Mono" in the Android Market, however the free version doesn't seem to work. It doesn't do anything other than show an icon in the notification bar...
So, is this even possible?

possible yes
quality will suck
back in the old days, when they did not sell single sided A2DP BT headsets, many programmers created apps to send audio via BT to non A2DP capable headsets.
but not sure if any developer is going to take on the challenge, as it's so easy to buy a single ear A2DP BT headset now in days

I understand about the quality, and am willing to live with it.
With regards to the headset statement, trust me, the motorcycle community will love the developer of this app.
The SCALA RIDER Bluetooth headset attaches to the motorcycle helmet. So we can't just get any A2DP single ear headset. We're stuck with this.

anyone? please?

I'm putting together a simple program that will do this. FYI, it will be Froyo only.
Might be a couple weeks before I can get around to it though. I'm swamped with work at the moment, and I'll be away from home for the last two weeks of September.
It will probably be free on XDA. Might ask 99 cents for it on the market.

That is truly awesome!
I really appreciate it, as I'm sure others will!

I'll put it on my task list but cannot make any guarantee on when I can get started on this.
I'm currently working on a fix to get stereo FM radio, but while working on this I found lots of interesting stuff on all kinds of things audio related.

This is what Im looking for and cant find. The music plays in the ear piece during phone calls fine so seems like it would be easy to fix.

I've been looking for that as well. I used BToggle for 3 years on my WM5 HTC wizard. and was REALLY disappointed when I got the G1 and found... what?? NO BToggle!! so I bought a stereo A2DP headset. but with 5-6 hrs play/talk time = workable but less then happy. then I found, tested and bought Super BT mono shortly after it hit the market and use it alot!! only thing is now I miss the notifications "Pushed" to my non A2DP headsets. and this is what I want.
I think it can be done by changing parts of bluez but I dont know what yet. if anyone can point me in the right direction I'm willing to stumble my way through.
Peter.
running a G1 with CyaogenMod-6.0.0-DS
(I have 2 jabra BT250's, 2 jabra BT2050 headsets and 1 stereo BT A2DP headset)

Sorry, forgot about this little project. Put together a first release today. Find it in the market: BTmono by me. It's free. Detailed post later.

nice app
i tested it on froyo and have the following problems:
*) when using skype, it always changes back to normal phone speaker, i have to start your app again and press yes a few times, to route back to BT-headset again
seems that some actions switch it back to phone speaker
*) microphone of bluetooth headset is not routed yet, i hope this is also possible
but thanks fo the app, i hope it will work fully soon.

Hmm...sounds like Skype is trying to manually set the audio routing itself. Not sure if there's much I can do about that.
As for the microphone, I hadn't really considered that. I was thinking of this as purely a means of getting audio from the phone to the BT headset. Does Skype not work with a BT headset using the standard headset profile?

Ya, a widget is definitely on the to-do list. I need to add that to the market description. I wanted to get the basic functionality out there for now, and then add on over time. I probably wouldn't even have made it if the existing apps on the market weren't ridiculously overpriced, hehe.

GUIDE - How to improve music quality

It seems that I've found the perfect combination of eq settings to help improve sound quality. The issues most face with the standard music player configuration is having to put up with tinny sounds and a flat soundstage which simply put - degrades your sound! And most become oblivious to the low quality sound over time. How horrible! But with a few changes sound can be clearer and after applying these tweaks, you will certainly hear the difference. With a few settings taken from here and there at xda and blended together and tweaked, my music played via the galaxy s2 really does now sound alot better.. A result of a clearer low end, no apparent distortion at max volume (and oh boy is it louder, thanks to volume+) , a more apparent seperation between the mid ranges/highs.. For once there's a distinction in the music and the separation of sounds can be heard rather than the usual muffle. I've tested this combination of apps/settings with both high quality flac files and 256kbps mp3s and it certainly brings out the colour in each song. I produce/compose film/trance music so I'd like to think I've a good ear.
Right, where do I begin.?
You will need 3 apps - Power amp, Equalizer and Volume +, installed to begin. Each application is free. The purpose of each app is as follows.
Poweramp - A top music player with eq functionality
Equalizer - To further enhance eq levels
Volume+ - To give the sound more legroom and boost sound levels
Power amp - http://market.android.com/details?id=com.maxmpz.audioplayer
Equalizer - http://market.android.com/details?id=com.smartandroidapps.equalizer
Volume + - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=645858&d=1309854453
Simply apply the settings as shown in the below screenshots.. Follow exactly for best result.
Poweramp -

}
Equalizer -
Volume+ -
If you find the highs a tad too sharp, drop the treble slightly in Poweramp.
To achieve a deeper bass, in volume+, set the bass to +5 but try not to go much higher as the sound quality will impair.
To higher the volume use Poweramp and higher the amp slider by a tiny amount and to avoid distortion do not let it go past the midway mark.
Drop the 8k slider down in poweramp to help reduce the sharp frequencies, which can hurt the ears sometimes running at a high volume. If using external speakers rather than headphones, these settings may push the sound to distortion, so be sure to set volume+ to external speaker mode for best possible effect.
Currently using Volume+ may lead to fc's when making a call, even though the fc occurs, the effect of Volume+ should still be active, currently theres no workaround as i'm aware.
If you believe you've found an even better combination of settings then please share! Just remember to post which earphones/headphones you're using.
Update : download "audioboost sgs2" from the market and set the desired volume level to around "82" for a cleaner amplified sound, this works better than volume+ for most people.

Please give feedback whether or not these settings work well with your headset.

testing on my expensive high quality Shure headphones and will report back.

good job. Sound good now. Since my Shure headphones are capable of making deep base and mid base, i increased the Bass in Poweramp to the 3 o'clock position instead of your at 12 o'clock, and Also 5+ in bass in Volume+

Bass UGH UGH UGH .

Wow, nice guide, now my phone sound better then before!!

I like the effect this combination gives.
BUT I have major issue with Volume+ and not sure whats the reason for it. It crashes once I plug in my headset.
using PowerAMP + Eq + VolumePlus
it looks like a conflict between Equalizer and Volume+
anyone having similar issues?

yeah, it happen to me too, but mine was when i am dialing someone and when its connected then the error will appear(happen once in a while) but i just press the force close its still able to connect but its not a major problem for me as its still work its just annoying

Untick Resume/Pause on headset disconnection/connection in Poweramp headset options.

Already tested it - pausing or resuming setting off doesnt affect it. Another thing is volume+ will crash when changing settings while the Eqalizer preset is enabled. Preset disabled - everything works fine...

Tweaks work great thanks! Not quite as nice as my Galaxy Tab with Voodoo but SGS2 sounds definitely less flat and less muddy. Volume+ doesn't seem to actually do anything though to sound quality so I might just ditch that.

this setting wont work nice when i plug in an external Bose speakers... Bose speakers suck with builtin preamp and low bass output power. I changed to "external speaker" preset in the equalizer and it works great!

Hi,
testing now
I find Volume+ does not make a big diff
Having a good sound is not an easy one on that device,
Thank you for sharing your findings
I used to configure only PowerAmp - my best music player ever !
Adding a little tast of "equalizer" seems to provide something better
Will continue listening an see
Thanks !

Jelly Bean Headset Controls

Not sure if there is already a thread like this but I just found out something that I found was pretty freaking awesome!
Was listening to some B.o.B when I tried clicking the volume buttons on my earphones. ( Monster/Nokia purity) then boom the buttons act as a previous and next. For me the volume down is next and obviously the volume up is the previous
And just found out that holding the middle button activates the voice search

I have headphones with a single button on them. Long pressing opens up voice search, single clicking while listening to music acts as a play/pause actions, double clicking moves to the next track and I hope triple clicking moves to the previous track.

My Etymotic buds don't work.
The play/next track button just pauses, and volume buttons do nothing.

Triple click does not go to previous track. Single pauses/plays.
Double moves to next track.
Long press brings up Google now.
Haven't been able to figure out previous track yet.

I have a pair of Sony Wired with music and volume control. They seemed to work better on GB when using my LG G2x, but the ICS on the Nexus only registered the 1 main button (Previous, Skip, volume up and Volume Down did nothing). On the LG G2x, everything worked great except Volume which I read was a Apple exclusive.
I also have a A2DP BlueAnt Handsfree unit for calls, but has 2 Volume buttons and a main button. I'm curious to see how it handles it when playing music.
I'll give them a shot again tonight to see how JB handles it.

Also if you have Apple earbuds you can double click the middle button and it will skip to the next track. This all works in ICS too.

Media button router gave me access back to my third party bluetooth voice dialer on Jellybean. However to access google voice commands now I have to initiative them by touch instead of the center bluetooth button. After they are initiated the google voice commands work as they should on bluetooth.
Only thing left is to get the center BT button to distinguish between a long and short press so it can initiative either my 3rd party voice dialer or google voice commands. There is another app I have in mind to test for that. Here is link for media button router.

No it didn't work for me. Only pause/play and long press for voice worked.
Apple has patents on their implementation of 3 button controls. So any "Made for iPod/iPhone" headphones DON'T work on android. I doubt JB would change that. The only thing Google can do legal-wise is to natively implement double-press and triple-press for the main control button.
3 button headset made specifically for android are supposed to exist (Headset Droid supports them) but I haven't found any yet.
See this screenshot from HeadSet Droid:

You plug it in any android device -- these buttons do what they should, change the volume.
You plug it in an HTC Vision -- these buttons switch tracks for some weird reason! (well, the reason is not that 'weird' -- it's just HTC decided to use these functions on their headset)
Some of you may have tried to edit .kl files, but probably without success.
The secret is that Android detects the headphone jack as another device, that has no configuration created for it (at least on ICS and JB).
That causes the system to use "generic" key layout mapping which clearly says:
Code:
key 163 MEDIA_NEXT
key 165 MEDIA_PREVIOUS
key 226 HEADSETHOOK
The solution for this is pretty simple. We need to find a necessary device, create a configuration for it and put it into /system directory.
Long story short, putting h2w_headset.kl to /system/usr/keylayout (don't forget to set permissions to rw-r--r--) will make headset buttons work like they do on all "normal" devices.
By the way, if you're using CyanogenMod, you're not losing an ability to switch tracks! "Volume rocker track skip" option also works for headset buttons (and you can also double-tap the Play/Pause/PTT button to go to the next track)

They've got different pinouts for those buttons, unfortunately.
What you could try is to type "getevent" in Terminal Emulator, press some headset buttons and post the output here (but I doubt phone will even recognize this)

Could this be mapping related? And if not does anybody know of a solution?

As for buttons, there is a pretty good manual on how to make +/- buttons work with Android devices.

Probably a software one, but quite difficult to fix.
All Android-based devices control headset buttons by measuring a resistance between two pins: 0 Ohms (short-circuit) for play/pause/call (this also works with iPhone headsets), plus 220 and 600 Ohms for volume or track switch keys.
This is controlled by a kernel headset driver, which acts as a "mapper" between resistance values and key codes.
Next, key codes are passed to the Android framework, where these key codes are mapped to their "behaviour" (that's where .kl files comes into place)
I don't think this is a hardware issue, because your device detects _every_ resistance change, but always assigns the "default" key code for it.
If it was a hardware fault (let's say, device couldn't detect resistances lower than 100 Ohms), volume buttons wouldn't work at all.

AndroidAuto low volume

Does anyone face issues with low volume or lack of audio quality when using android auto?
I mean sound is ok, but its not as loud as other devices i used with AA.
I have tried the internal equalizer and dolby atmos, it helps a little but still not the same.
I have also tried the app EqualizerFX and so far seems better but not 100%.
Do you use any other method or app for this.
I am on the brink of rooting and going for Viper, but thats my last resort

i use poweramp pro ... it boost volume and bass for my buds - works a treat and it downloads the album art and instantly adds it to the track - quite nice

Yep poweramp pro works like a treat for local files.
but do still run into the issue for streaming apps like Spotify, GoogleMusic or Tidal

Have you upted the Bluetooth setting to loud.
In the media playback mode goto setting / sound setup/volume setup/Bluetooth audio.
Makes a huge difference on mine when using amazon music etc......

1. Bluetooth on the phone has its own volume setting, I hope you pressed that volume up button on the phone, then said "OK" to earpiercing warning, and then pressed volume button up again until you reached max
2. Dullness of sound cannot be cured with any settings on the phone - in Bluetooth original data just streamed to the car (being compressed/decompressed along the way)
3. You can still play with audio setting to affect headphone jack quality - it helped me.

yes i know that.and yes that was basically the first thing i did.
and btw this issue with Android auto is not to do with bluetooth or jack.. it uses usb dac to stream auto and control to the AA interface.
anyways, as said Viper4Android sorted my issue, as it processes audio differently to the stock audio processing.
same as poweramp, has its own audio processing, also for usb dac

Does anyone face issues with low volume or lack of audio quality when using android auto?
I mean sound is ok, but its not as loud as other devices i used with AA.
I have tried the internal equalizer and dolby atmos, it helps a little but still not the same.
I have also tried the app EqualizerFX and so far seems better but not 100%.
Do you use any other method or app for this.
I am on the brink of rooting and going for Viper, but thats my last resort

Try going into Developer options and change Bluetooth codec to SBC
(This worked for me)
