About this app

Everybody: Please don't buy the app under the assumption that a future update will make it work. If it doesn't work now, it's an issue with your handset's firmware that is almost certainly not fixable from the app's side. This whole program is more of a hack than anything else - the function is clearly not officially supported by Google. I can't guarantee that it will work for any given phone and/or BT headset.

Simple app to stream audio to your bluetooth mono headset.

Requires Android 2.2 or higher. Tested on stock HTC Evo 4G ROM (2.2) and CM7 RC1. Leave feedback and ask questions at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=950472


Features:
- Change your Android's color
- Auto restart after phone call
- Widget!!
- 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.
- Automatic turn on at app launch available via Menu-->Preferences. Note - if enabled your headset must be connected before running BTmono.
- ICS (Android 4.0) support including use of Holo theme.
- Limited Skype support (if enabled after call is started). Please note - microphone routing is not possible on Samsung phones and may not be possible on GSM phones - sorry.

Notes:
- Make sure your headset is connected BEFORE clicking 'On'
- To use with Skype you must enable BTmono AFTER starting a Skype call. Microphone routing does not appear to be possible on Samsung phones (without some ugly hacks, at least) because of Samsung's efforts to prevent phone call recording. Microphone routing may also be impossible on GSM phones due to API limitations. Please don't rate the program lowly due to this - Skype support is not the point of this app!
- To reduce static, set the 'Media Volume' slider to max and reduce the 'Bluetooth In-Call Volume' via your phone/headset.
- This version contains a workaround for a bug in Android 2.2 which causes a system crash under certain circumstances. If you are on 2.2, do NOT disable Bluetooth while the stream is running or your phone WILL reboot (sorry - tell your phone manufacturer to move to 2.2.1+).

To-do:
- Auto turn on BT when widget is activated.
- Volume sliders for audio streams other than 'Media'
- Possible - map headset button to user-definable action.
- Other features?

Great app, I've been using it for years on several different phones, I keep choosing Bluetooth headsets that don't support media audio, so this app is an absolute necessity. My only problem with this latest version is the volume default setting. Max should be the default, and nothing else. Even when I turn it all the way up, it doesn't seem quite loud enough. I need more volume! MORE VOLUME!!

Really enjoy this app. I have a Jabra headset that, while not great for music, works perfectly for podcasts. I also have regular bluetooth headphones that work natively, but as I like to maintain situational awareness while working, I only wear them in one ear anyway. This app is a great way to use a mono headset that has been artificially limited by the manufacturer.

The very propose of purchasing Premium is not solved. The app is not restarting after call. This what I did: I am recording my voice in in-built 'recorder' app on redmi 4A android through MI bluetooth headset. Now a call comes & I attend it on the same bluetooth uninterrupted, i.e. voice recorder is auto paused and talk is on through bluetooth, after the call gets disconnected, recorder resumes and start recording voice input ... BUT ... ЁЯШв only through phones microphone not BT . Microphone.
