mp3's wont' play through my hands free

[Guest carkev]

hi,

I am new to Android and have recently got an Orange San Francisco running v.2.0.

in car I have a Motorola HF850 Hands free kit that works fine with my phone calls.

sadly when I play MP3's on my phone they do not route into the handsfree speaker even though paired up ok.

my brother-in-law has the same Motorola with his Nokia X6 and it all works flawlessly and with no 'tweaking' needed.

my car is a Chrysler PT cruiser, and I have kept the original 'funky' radio which I love,

but it has no capabilty to help me out, not even an audio-in socket. I won't be changing this radio.

all the searches I have done tend to be folk having trouble with headsets, and have been of no help,

so can anyone offer any advice as to why Android won't be nice to me, yet a Nokia would ?

thanks,

Kevin

I use a Kensington LiquidAUX Bluetooth in my motor, works fine with me using the standard 2.1 ROM and the standard Music app. I installed Winamp but found that the tracks kept 'stuttering' randomly. The stock music app is fine enough for me!

Not sure why yours wouldn't work, mine pops up as a bluetooth device with hands-free ... What music app are you running?

I've tried a few apps .. bTunes, Cube & others, so I don't think it is the apps

Can I just check that this works on all fronts with the SF? Can you answer calls as well as listen to music and charge via the USB? Sounds great if it does all that.

I've had a re-think here .... perhaps it is the apps ?

the apps all play mp3 through my speakers, and bluetooth is ok as my phone works fine paired to my Motorola.

therefore what I am now thinking is -

I should be looking for a way of forcing the apps to 'broadcast' to bluetooth rather than speakers ??

(my naivety is showing here, but this is the only way I can express it)
