Bluetooth A2DP support

The including of Bluetooth Advanced Audio Distribution Profile support is fairly simple why did apple leave this off? To have the ability to stream audio to your car stereo or to a bluetooth head set is not needed but would make the iphone's ipod features so much more enchanced.

There is another topic out there about this to guys:

  • Apt-x Support for Bluetooth A2DP?

    Hi,
    are there any plans to support the apt-X codec for the Bluetooth A2DP Profile? Maybe that could solve some of the bad A2DP audio qualitiy issues, that are still expierienced by some users (including me) on all the available phones (tested Pre- with 1.4.5, Pre+ with 1.4.5 and 2.1, Pixi Plus with 1.4.5, Pre2 with 2.0 and 2.1, all gave the same issues with different headsets and receivers!).
    apt-X seems to be coming quite fast, not only because apple has built in support for it in it's latest products, but also because it offers CD level quality on low encoding cost, which is MUCH more than the poor SBC codec can deliver.
    I hope HP with it's Beat audio line of products will consider adding such enhanced A2DP codecs to the mobile devices... wireless headsets are so much more convinient than anything wired can be. But at the momen A2DP sound quality is unbearable with my Palm handsets and I still have no clue where that issue arises from (my last guess is, that it's connected to me being an european costumer and we are few compared to the majority of the us costumers. As far as I understood there are differences in the radio part of the handsets between EU and US devices, so maybe those differences break A2DP Bluetooth quality).
    Post relates to: Pre Plus p100ueu (Vodafone)

    Thanks for all of the replies. I also saw in the Z white paper that the apt-X codec is not listed, so the question becomes "can apt-X be pushed via a software update?"
    For those interested in streaming to your home stereo or powered speaker, here's what I ended up doing.
    Purchased a Rocketfish Bluetooth Music Receiver from Best Buy (in the US). It is a pretty slick lttle device, about the same size as the power plug adaptor and it supports A2DP and apt-X. There are two audio outputs: analog via a headphone jack and optical. And it ships with a 6' 3.5mm stereo audio cable and a  RCA adaptor.
    Setup was easy. Connect the audio to the stereo's AUX inputs, set the stereo's source to AUX, plug in the BT receiver power, turn on the tablet Bluetooth on the tablet and play music.
    At first the sound was pretty compressed from MP3's, Pandora and the Google Play service.The fix was to go into the Google Play app > settings > equalizer. Click on "surround sound" and change the setting from "headphone" to "studio".Then play with the equalizer settings to tweak.Results in much improved audio.
    Happy camper now... music streaming through the house and no wires!

  • No A2DP support for Nokia N80!

    I just wonder why Nokia can't add support for A2DP in the new firmware for Nokia N80ie cellphone. =(
    I just uppdatet my phone in hope of getting somewhere,but it was pointless.
    It would be pretty nice if i could use my N80 as a real media centre with my Jabra BT 620s bluetooth headset but no way.
    I am just intrested why not, i have read som discussions in this forum and other N phones did get their uppdates with A2DP support . Or am i wrong. Am i doing somethig wrong and cant get this to work?

    A2DP and AVRCP does not require additional hardware for bluetooth 1.2 and above. It is based purely on software simulation.
    Nokia can support A2DP in nokia n80. but battery could be an issue. Initial prototype of N80 had bluetooth 2 but then it was downgraded to 1.2 !!!

  • Does A2DP support in leopard mean A2DP driver for Vista on MBP?

    Would love to have A2DP bluetooth support for my MBP, and I know it's coming next month. Also next month in leopard is the official release of Boot camp and therefore I should imagine a full bunch of windows drivers for the MBP. My question is, if they are bunging A2DP support into leopard do you think the bluetooth drivers written for windows will also include it? I mainly run Vista on my MBP (not out of choice, but you try getting Visual Studio to run on OSX).

    The Nokia 301 supports A2DP 1.2

  • Bluetooth A2DP on T60 with XP

    I have an IBM T60 with Windows XP and all of the updates installed.
    I purchased a Motorola S9 Bluetooth Stereo headset which works great with my cell phone, but I cannot get Windows to see that it exists.
    I have installed the latest Bluetooth drivers from the IBM Support web site, from the IBM support site
    Microsoft Bluetooth Support file for Bluetooth with Enhanced Data Rate -> http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-62928.html.  After the install, I still can't see the S9 headset.
    I tried to download and install the Widecom Bluetooth drivers and each time I try to install it, the install fails.
    Anyone know how to get A2DP support on the T60?
    Thank you
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Ok. Of course it always works this way....I spend hours, days, and weeks trying to get this to work...then within minutes after I post the question I figure it out...sigh....
    the problem was, the S9 wasn't staying in pairing/discovery mode because my phone was on and it was connecting to the phone.  So by the time Windows would try to find it, the S9 was out of Pairing mode.
    The solution
    1. The download from the Lenovo site worked to update to the Enhanced data Rate
    2. You need to have all other devices that the S9 would pair with turned off so the S9 stays in pairing mode while Windows is looking for it.
    Hope this helps others....

  • Bluetooth a2dp/avrcp

    Ever since a week after the first Iphones were released (when I bought my first one), I've been waiting for Iphone to support bluetooth a2dp/avrcp.
    I bought a 3G-S yesterday. I have 3 different a2dp/avrcp products I've paired it with: my Sony car stereo, a Motorola MOTOROKR S9 and a 3rd device (I forget the make/model). All three seem to play the music via a2dp fine. But I cannot get skip-to-next-track and skip-to-beginning-of-track ( |<< and >>| )to work on any of them. Play/pause works on the 2nd and 3rd device, but not on the car stereo. On the car stereo when I hit pause I hear a split-second pause and then it continues playing.
    So my question is, does the Iphone 3G-S not support the avrcp protocol or is it buggy?

    The iPhone 3GS' Bluetooth profile does not support forward and back, only pause and play via stereo Bluetooth. I had this issue as well, and had to dig around the apple site to find out the supported profiles. My car stereo has the capability to transfer the phonebook contacts to the stereo so you can see a name rather than a phone number; however since the iphone's profile does not support file transfer or sharing I cannot use this feature on my stereo. I hope Apple updates this soon as well as the forward/rewind Bluetooth functionality so I can keep my phone secured in my purse without having to take it out to change the song or see who is calling me while driving.
    Go to this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3647
    it lists the supported profiles. Pay close attention to the * toward the bottom. It states only pause and play are supported.

  • Create Midlet for Bluetooth A2DP profile

    Hello,
    I'm a newbie. I would like to know if it's possible to create a midlet for bluetooth A2DP profile. If it is, please let me know where i can get information on this.
    Thank you so much,
    Ken

    Now I'm facing the same problem with A2DP on my Nokia 6230 (original player doesn't support it) so I'm about to create my own player supporting this bluetooth protocol. I just wanted to ask you how far you've got with this.
    Thx.

  • Bluetooth A2DP profile inside C1-01 available?

    Hi,
    I just bought my Nokia C1-01 and paired my Motorola BT Headset HT820 for MP3 music. I did this, because some stores which offer this phone mentioned C1-01's available support of A2DP.
    After recognizing bad BT-music-quality I took a look at the phone specs. and: there is no support of A2DP (in Europes 4.40 Firmware-version!).
    @all
    My question: are there other C1-01-devices with BT-A2DP support out there?
    @ Nokia-Guys:
    Will there be a support for Europe-C1-01-phones later on; i.e. is it planned to do an update?
    Or are there any hardware-performance issues which pretends a A2DP-support?
    Is it possible for me to get a firmware-version with A2DP-support?
    Many questions...
    Nevertheless - thanx in advance for your support,
    hwu

    Funny you should have had the same problem. I have just upgraded my software to V5.4 and the problem
    still remains. Very low audio when connecting to any Bluetooth Audio device. Its now 2 Feb when is the fix coming out. Nokia

  • IPhone stereo bluetooth headset support?

    My Sony DS970 works fine in telephone mode, but it won't work in stereo bluetooth mode. it's odd to be on a phone call working fine on the headset, then turn on the music or sounds and have that jump out of the speaker. Pretty annoying that we have to deal with a custom-sized headphone adapter AND a bluetooth transmitted that's disabled. I have a portable bluetooth transmitter, but it won't fit in the headphone jack. Wow -- I knew the Zune made some mistakes around bluetooth, but this one seems ridiculous.
    Is it a possible software patch? Can the hardware support A2DP? Are there any plans to support bluetooth audio moving forward?
    ANY answers would be most welcome even if the answer is "Go away we aren't going to support that until the next phone." I just wanto to know if it's broken, disabled, fixable, or what?
    I prefer real answers to rampant speculation, but I'll probably get more of the latter than the former, which can be expected.

    Many people believe apple left A2DP support off so as they may make the only devices to do this. So the market is only flooded with their devices. A2DP should be a software thing but dont quote me on that.

  • A2DP Support

    I am new to this forum so excuse my ignorance. I purchased a stereo headset motorola s9 before I realized that the iphone will not support A2DP yet. One of the reasons I bought the phone. The motorola will not play music over the headset. I have found a work around with a sony bluetooth adapter. The adapter of course takes battery power from the phone and the volume levels are what I would consider marginal. Does anyone know when or if apple plans on supporting A2DP and when? I paid good money for the phone and now for the adapters, headset, ect... and really think a legitimate answer wouldn't be too much to ask.

    Welcome to the forums!
    Unfortunately, as we are all end users here there is no way for anyone to know when or if Apple plans to implement A2DP support on the iPhone. Apple never comments to these posts so the answer you won't get the answer you seek here. Likewise, Apple rarely announces feature enhancements before an upgrade so it is unlikely you will get an answer from them either.
    While I understand your frustration about the lack of this feature, Apple never promoted the iPhone as having stereo blue tooth capabilities. The fact that you paid good money on the phone before you did a solid search of its feature set is just a lesson learned.

  • Nokia N91 8GB A2DP support 3rd Party Stereo Bluet...

    Hi...
    Can Anyone confirm that does Nokia N91 8GB's A2DP(stereo Bluetooth) support 3rd Party software Stereo Bluetooth Sound? like
    LCG Jukebox, Smartmovie , Power Movie etc...
    N73/N73ME A2DP does not support 3rd party apllication (LCG Jukebox,Powermoive etc)bluetooth stereo sound.But The set (N73/73ME)A2DP support only default music,video player(real player)stereo Bluetooth.
    I want to know real things abt Nokia N91 8GB A2DP with 3rd party software..

    I have a Nokia N73 and a Parrot MKi9000. I wanted to use the Internet Radio application to listen to streaming radio via bluetooth AD2P connection. Nokia N73 firmware updated last, supports this standard, but only for applications installed directly with the operating system: (Standard Media Player and RealPlayer).
    If you start only "Internet Radio" sound does not pass through the bluetooth connection, but I noticed that also enable the media player to hear the sum of the two sounds.
    The solution I found is that of creating an MP3 file of about 30 minutes with a background of ambient music very low (not too much else if there is total absence of sound, such as interruptions in the buffer, the system soon after it disconnects). I set the standard player so that will loop through the MP3 in the background.
    Then I turned on the application "Internet Radio" and select the station to play. Once started streaming the music you hear on the car speakers.
    I think this trick may be useful not only to listen to the radio via the internet, but also for other applications that do not activate by default bluetooth AD2P streaming and other Nokia devices, or other Bluetooth hands-free systems.

  • Will there be A2DP support for E61?

    hi, just hoping Nokia Staff will answer this.....

    this topic seems to get completely ingnored by the nokia developers... =(
    i'd as well so much would like to know if the a2dp profile will ever get implemented for current e- and/or n- series since lots of other manufacturers already fully support stereo streaming over bluetooth (a2dp) and audio video remote control profile (avrcp), namely motorola, samsung and a few others. i can't image that nokia as a superb manufacturer of state of the art phones is going behind this development for long... (the models 8800 and 8801 aleady seem it support it with firmware > 3.6 so maybe it'S just a matter of time...)
    but since the e61 (as far as i know) is 'only' equipped with bluetooth 1.2 and not 2.0 edr i am not sure if it's possible to get a2dp working at all. but hopefully there 'll be a way to get it going...
    it would be so helpful if any statements from nokia-insiders could be made regarding this topic...

  • A2DP Support for Nokia ASHA

    I am so disappointed by the recent Nokia ASHA phones with keypads (non-touchscreens). I could not believe that none of these phones supported A2dp, and what's baffling is that most websites and blog sites would say that these phones would have A2DP support, but it really does not have. I have a Philips SHB 9100 bluetooth stereo headset, and it's disappointing that I wasted money in buying these two phones below:
    1. I bought Nokia 112. It's a great small classic phone that is not fancy looking. It has bluetooth 2.1, edge, and dual sim. But even though it has bluetooth, it doesn't support A2dp. I sold Nokia 112 for 40% less it's original price, even though I bought it on the same day.
    2. . I then bought NOKIA ASHA 206, hoping that this will have A2dp, but it doesn't have! I'm surprised. So I sold it too.
    3. I decided to check on Nokia Asha 202 before buying it, but I'm surprised it also doesn't have A2dp.
    Are there still basic phones out there that support A2dp? I have a Nokia Xpress Music 5320, it's small and it has A2dp!

    The Nokia 301 supports A2DP 1.2

  • About Bluetooth A2DP

    Is there this option (Bluetooth A2DP) in N95-1?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    what exactly are you asking? if you asking "if it can be turned on or off?" then the answer is "no." a2dp is already installed on the n95. for it to work all you need to do is pair the headset with the phone, and when you start playing music it will begin streaming to the headset immediately. there is no "on" or "off" option.
    everything happens for a reason

  • Anyone check A2DP support in 1.1.4?

    Anyone with the Motorola S9 or similar device check out A2DP support? Thanks in advance.

    Anyone who really wants to use the MotoRokr S9 BT Stereo headphones, should check out this device I purchased (Motorola TenTechnology NaviPlay). It works well with the iphone, despite having to attach a seperate device. I use it for everything including calls, and the quality is impressive both for music and calls. The trick to it is during the initial sync to the phone, then to the adapter. The best approach to using the dongle correctly for calls and music, is to 1st sync the headset to the phone for standard function. Next, plug in the adapter, answer no the the Error Message about no support, then put the device and headset in sync mode, and wait for the dongle to flash fast green. When both the phone and the device is connected to the headset, all the controls on the S9 work well. Now the next time you goto use the dongle, before connecting it turn on the S9, let it autosync to the phone, then plugin and turn on the dongle, answer no again to the error msg, and wait for the dongle to autosync to the S9. In essence, you only really need to sync the S9, iPhone and dongle once, as all 3 devices keep memory of previously synced devices, but don't forget to let the S9 sync to the phone 1st, before connecting and powering on the dongle
