I've been looking for something like this, thank you!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Sound quality blows, but that's just the way it is. It's mainly just for people who have an old mono headset laying around and want to listen to podcasts, etc.

Unfortunately, there is no way to change 'Media' volume while it's running. You can adjust 'Bluetooth In-Call' volume, but if your media volume is muted you won't hear anything.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] karl999999:
please don't

Turn on bluetooth and set media volume to desired level before running the app (will do this automatically in future releases if there is demand for it).

please dont do this! applications that alter volumes are really bad. user does not know about it , and then in a quiet room later you will suddenly be balsted with some sounds, when u turn off BT.

also another app could be running at the same time, and you have no way of knowing what the user wants.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] karl999999:
skype

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?

i hope u can also do mic.

no skype unfortunately (on my galaxy s) does always use the phones speaker and cant use the headset :-(

so i was waiting for an app like that for a long time.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] karl999999:
another question:

why must the sound quality be bad?

just because its mono? or because of BT? i dont understand
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Point taken. I could save the unadjusted level and restore it to that when disabling though.

I'll look into the mic. I figured Skype would work with a headset by default.

The telephony/headset profile uses low quality audio. OK for calls, sucks for music. If you need high quality audio you'll need to get an A2DP headset.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] karl999999:
Point taken. I could save the unadjusted level and restore it to that when disabling though.

i hope this will be a configurable option [yes/no]

because if another program is running also (mutlitasking) then setting the level back to what it was before , may also be wrong and confuse the user.

if the user has meanwhile changed the volume in another program.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Well, the easiest thing would be to just leave it how it is :)

So unless other people want the option to set media volume, I'll just leave it alone.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dictionary:
I'd at least love the auto turn bluetooth on(if off), and then auto turn off(or leave on if it was on originally).
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] liljom:
nice one : )

I found 2 apps like this for 5$, but it doesn't worth it because the sound quality

But now I will test it for a few days, and if I can use it with my white eares, I'll send you some money :)

Or you can just add an advertisement line to the bottom : ) And if you promote it enough, than you can get some money for your work - just think about the Angry birds, they have a lot of income from ads ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jetlite11:
My BT works with music without an app...

Maybe not all BT have a media profile?

Now what would be really cool and worth while, is an app that I can choose exactly what audio goes through the BT. Just for example have my navigation directions through the BT but music through the audio port.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] KreAch3R:
Great app! Why does it require froyo though? :( Isn't it supported in eclair?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beepsilver:
I'm an unrooted Evo user with stock 2.2 ROM. I installed the program and tried it with a non-A2DP Plantronics bluetooth. I ran into problems when I received a phone call while listening to streaming music--the phone call came through, and the music went silent in the bluetooth, but the music switched back to the phone and continued to play. When the phone call was complete, the music did not resume in the bluetooth. I had to manually go back and turn off/on the BTMono app to resume.

A more significant problem is when I physically turn off the bluetooth while BTMono is streaming music for me, the phone autorestarts....it apparently did not like that action. I do not know if physically turning off the bluetooth headset while BTMono is turned on, but not streaming music would result in an autorestart.

Thanks, and please let me know if I can make adjustments on my phone or if this is an app issue that can be worked out.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tmknight:
Agreed, I would be interested to have a choice of "what" is sent to BT. Navigation to BT is a big boon to me a well - this is a good start!

Suggestion, some way to tell when BTmono is "on" would be great, .e.g. tray indicator or app icon changes color.

Cheers
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Good ideas everyone! Keep them coming.

I'll address everyone's specific questions/comments late on Sunday or Monday. Got a busy weekend ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Lothaen:
sounds good - may have to give this a quick go :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] alphaeagle777:
To control the media volume you could use audio manager, I tried and it work
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tzalmaves:
It's a plantronics M155. Yes, most that I looked at had A2DP support.

Btmono & headset issue

For the most part, BTMono and my HTC One X/Blue Parrot headset, work great together. For some reason, though, BTMono interferes with normal operation of the headsets media button when it is running. When I push the media button, BTMono disables, and Vlingo never gets the signal that button was pushed. What I expect to happen is have Vlingo InCar popup, and have BTMono relay the voice prompt to my headset as normal. Is there a fix for this? I am a BTMono Pro user if it makes a difference.

Q

So, thats what it is - BT Mono just doesn't work with the built in player on my Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 4.0.4. Installed WinAmp frpm Play Store and it plays perfectly.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] francescomm:
Stock video and audio player do not play content

SGS3 International (GT-i-9300) 1GB/16GB - a4.0.4 stock rooted

Works like a charm with games and other apps, great app, but.. I confirm both stock video and audio player do not play content anymore! Not only the audio, they really stop playing anything.

For some reason the BTMono connection to the earpiece is interpreted by the system like an ongoing phone call, so both apps stop working and both the players report a "Can't play during phone call" (roughly translated from Italian) message.

So the audio routing works, but, if possible, you should "hide" it from the system, otherwise some apps won't even start playing content.

In my opinion this is a serious bug in the mentioned "smart" apps, not in BTmono (if I want to start a video in the middle a phonecall it's my own business, and my phone, don't stop me!). Unfortunately those are the "default" apps, so this is rather annoying for BTmono.

Do you know any way to prevent this?

Thanks,

Francesco

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kdsave:
Auto Connect?

I've been using this app for about a week now...on my HTC Raider with Motorola H730 headset

The H730 has incredible battery life. I've gotten close to 14 hours use...but, unfortunately

No a2dp, so this app allows me to listen to podcasts mostly. It's great!

I find the sound quality is really good...even for music at times. I use PlayerPro audio.

One problem though. If a phone call comes in, it doesn't pause the player so I can

Still hear the audio while I'm on the phone. If I shut it off...it doesn't auto re- connect.

Is there a fix for this or something I can do?

Thanks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] riahc3:
Will there be a BTstereo?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rmeden:
Why? If you your device can play stereo, it will be using the A2DP Bluetooth profile which works without this app.

The purpose of this app is to play an audio source through the "headset" Bluetooth profile, for those devices that don't support A2DP.

BTW, stock music player also no longer works for.... but since I mostly use BTMONO with DogCatcher and mVideoPlayer, it's not that big a deal for me.

Galaxy Nexus and video recording with bluetooth audio.

Hi!

I have a GNex with 4.2.2 firmware and a Jabra Wave+ bt headset.

I tried to use BTMONO to pick audio from BT when recording video.

Igcamcorder app let me choose to record the audio from the external mic instead of the terminal mic.

This configuration works very well with the Galaxy tab 2 10.1 and the same BT headset when activating BTMONO, but when using Galaxy Nexus its continue to use internal mic.

I really appreciate to use Galaxy Nexus with external BT mic. With this configuration i will be able to do professional video recording (Full HD and decent audio) with a very portable hardware.

Please let me know if there is a solution, even hacking firmware or payng something for a mod.

Thanks in advance,

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] cordobadb:
Hi,

i've bought the premium version because i need it to connect it to my Cardo Scala G9. Thats a bluetooth bike to bike intercom i wan't to hear the navigation announcements and talk to other bikers. The priority of the sound source is as follows: 1. HFP (Navi) 2. Bike to Bike com 3. A2DP. That means if I talk to others, a navigation announcement interrupts it. I'm using BTmono, because normaly my navigation software uses A2DP and so if I talk to others I will not hear the navigation. Using BTmono solves the priority problem, but the channel stays always open, so I can't talk to other bikers any more. Is it technically possible to close the channel automaticly after each announcement? Would be really great!!

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] corollagtssrx:
Hey, great app, I actually bought the premium, which is something I rarely do.

I had one question though. 90% of the time when I push the On button, I get a horrible loud buzzing noise. I've found if I quickly hit on, then open YouTube, it usually stops pretty quick.

I'm actually running an SCH-I545 on 4.4.4

Any ideas?

this works on my samsung captivate, but it just keeps turning off after a little bit..
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Dr4g0n75:
possible to get this for older versions of android? 2.1 for example?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
This is still going to happen. The turning on part at least...might not bother with turning it off.

I'm still a bit undecided on the media volume. People report bugs that no audio is coming through, but I'm pretty sure it's because they didn't set their media volume to an audible level before running the app (as the description specifically mentions you must do). We'll see. Maybe a pop up asking if you want to set media volume to 50% or something.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
I thought about putting ads in it, but since people don't really spend time in the app I don't think I would make anything. I'd assume most people open the program, turn it on, then go about doing whatever else they were doing/watching/listening to.

I might still do it just to learn how.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Phone calls always take precedent over an application, so it might be difficult to avoid this. I can look at possible workarounds, but I don't think anything will happen soon on that front.

This is the 2.2 bug I mentioned in the app description. I've included a workaround that keeps the system from crashing every time you disable the stream through the application 'Off' button, but if you manually disable BT while the app is running, the system WILL crash. Sorry, but I can't fix that. If possible, move to a 2.2.1+ ROM.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
I don't think sending only certain types of audio is possible with current API's. I agree it would be cool though.

A tray indicator is now high on the list of enhancements. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
I limited it in the market to 2.2 and up because my understanding is that the functions I call weren't available before that. I've attached the apk if you want to give it a shot though.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
The system is probably killing it to free up resources. I'll look into preventing this.

What version of Android are you running?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Quick update - bluetooth status check (and enable) has been implemented. Will probably bundle up a few more enhancements before releasing to the market. Maybe get the ongoing status notification working and then post it as v0.2.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Update 2 - ongoing notification is done. Anybody willing to test the new version before I upload it to the market?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Mechapanda:
i'm running 2.2.1 right now
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beepsilver:
Sure, I will test it!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
I'm currently working on implementing a widget, but I haven't quite figured it out. If I can't get it working in the next couple days I'll leave it out of this release and post up a version to test with the other enhancements.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] yani2000:
Yeah, I have the same problem like you.

It plays for a few seconds and then it just stops. :(

The same was happening in Super BT Mono Froyo Pro v1.1.4 (I did not test in newest version yet).

I am using Samsung Galaxy S with Android OS v2.2.1 and I was trying to connect to my car Nissan Qashqai.

@bedoig (OP):

Thanks for all of your effort for this app and keep up the good work!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Oh, if it only lasts a few seconds then there is something else going on. I assumed it lasted like 30 minutes and failed. Anybody want to pull a logcat of this failure?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Version 0.2 has hit the market!

- Automatically enable Bluetooth on app launch (user can still choose not to allow this). Make sure your headset is actually CONNECTED before hitting 'On.'

- In app 'Media Volume' control. Adjust the 'Bluetooth In-Call Volume' using the physical buttons on your phone or headset.

- Ongoing Status Bar notification while the program is running.

The widget has been giving me a bit of trouble, but I'm still working on it. Let me know what you think of the improvements. Also let me know if I broke anything! :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
One more small update today...can't help myself.

v0.3 - small UI improvements:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
Looks good!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beepsilver:
Ok here's my two-cents:

I followed all of your instructions (past and present) and I had no restarts despite using 2.2 ROM on an unrooted Evo.

I did notice the following, and I apologize if you've discussed these issues in the past and I missed it:

When starting BTMono (after enabling my BT headset) my wifi turned off and 3G came on (I don't use or have 4G in my area so I don't know if 4G would come on if it were available). During the transition, my signal was completely lost for about 20-25 seconds. In an attempt to try and duplicate this issue, I turned everything off, and started again. It happened again and on subsequent attempts.

Also, in one instance while listening to music using BTMono (and when not listening to anything), my signal strength was visibly reduced (half the bars I normally get). When I turned BTMono off, signal strength went back to normal.

When I turn off BTMono the phone does not automatically return to wifi with 3G off--it is only when I disconnect the bluetooth that the antennas automatically return to their normal configuration.

Those are the only events I've noticed as of now. Volume controls work well! Thank you for all your hard work and please let me know if I can answer any questions to help out.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
That's not entirely unexpected, since I think almost all devices these days share an antenna for the wifi & bluetooth radios. Having the BT stream active is going to interfere with wifi at least somewhat.

One example - if I'm streaming Pandora to my car stereo over A2DP I can always tell if I forgot to turn off my WiFi because it causes skipping in the bluetooth stream. Turn off WiFi and everything smooths out.

There's not anything I can do about it, it's just the way the technology works.

I'm not doing anything that would cause this, so it's most likely just a random fluctuation in your signal strength. Signal strength actually varies constantly even if you're standing in the same spot, so it's not anything to worry about. Most manufacturers actually dumb down (ie, flatten or average out) the signal strength they report to the user to avoid having people worry about the constant shifts in signal strength. Kinda like car manufacturers do with your engine/coolant temp gauge.

This one I can take the blame for :) The way the program currently shuts down is really ugly to avoid the crash on 2.2. Even though the audio stream has stopped the connection still seems to be active, so the interference with WiFi continues until you manually turn off your bluetooth. Sorry, I'm still looking for a better workaround.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beepsilver:
Thanks for the thorough reply! Now I can press on with using your app without scratching my head in wonder....also, I'll keep an eye out for anything else to report. Great job!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Cool :cool:

For those of you interested in using this with Skype, it seems to work for me but only if I enable BTmono after starting a Skype call. I might try and see if I can figure out what Skype is doing and make an automated workaround. In the meantime, let me know if the above method works for you.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Hmm...it looks like Skype is intentionally routing audio to the handset speaker and mic. Here's a logcat excerpt after I start a Skype call:

I/ActivityManager( 164): Displayed com.skype.raider/.ui.contacts.ContactProfileActivity: +440ms

I/AudioHardwareQSD( 117): Routing audio to Handset

D/AudioHardwareQSD( 117): Switching audio device to

D/AudioHardwareQSD( 117): Handset

Skype really needs to add BT headset support directly to their app. I could probably listen for the audio state to be changed, then switch it back to BT, but I'm not sure it's worth the effort. You can always just enable BTmono after starting the call. Let me know if you feel strongly one way or the other.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
After about 3 to 4 minutes of listening to a podcast through BTmono, my bluetooth headset starts beeping every 8 seconds or so, which of course makes it intolerable. Even if I stop the podcast and turn off BTmono streaming, the beeping continues until I disconnect the connection between my phone and my headset.

Has anyone else run into this?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
Low battery? No idea...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] a_bug:
Paul22000,

I had this issue with my old Moto BT earpiece. I figured out (i think) the beeping was there to tell me I had no cellular signal where I was. The beeping only occured with the BT piece and only with Moto pieces.

I've since moved from t-mobile to verizon and so don't have that issue so prevelant anymore.

Hope that helps;

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] seungkyumin:
It does not working on my device (rooted Desire w/ CM 6.1.1) with my Plantronics 520.

Does anybody here succeed in calling Skype through BTmono?:confused:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
Ahhhh, thanks! I'm using a Samsung WEP460. And of course, nowhere in the manual is the beeping mentioned, whatsoever.

Grr, I wish you could turn on Bluetooth while still in Airplane mode. In Airplane mode, you can turn on Wi-Fi, why not Bluetooth? That restriction is really annoying.

Has anyone found a way to hack it so that you can turn on Bluetooth in Airplane mode?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bedoig:
What ROM are you on? I can enable BT while in Airplane mode on CM (6 & 7).

On a side note, some people who don't have PayPal accounts have asked me to release a 'Donate' version in the market. So... it's out there...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
Oh, I'm on Micromod's CM7 port for the Nexus One. I just tried and it worked haha! I assumed since the stock ROM can't do it, no ROM can. Wow, thanks haha

Now I can Use BTMono in peace!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] vWvSTATICvWv:
I'm using a JawBone Icon and all my media comes through the headset. I listen to AudioGalaxy @ work all day :o

Sorry for being n00bish but is this app for older BT's or ones that don't allow media streaming?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Paul22000:
Just tested BTMono on my walk home tonight and the beeping looks like it was indeed a "low signal" indicator, as it only happens when walking around the parking garages at work.

I used the Airplane mode + Bluetooth on trick (via CM7 Nexus One) and it worked beautifully. Thanks again, great app!
