How to get an iPhone app to implement A2DP?

The iPhone supports A2DP.

3rd party apps cannot access private iPhone API's which would be required with such a 3rd party app. This is one of the things that Apple checks for before approving an app to be available via the iTunes app store.

You can use this link to provide Apple feedback.

Then you need to get a bluetooth headset that does support A2DP.

API is short for Application Programming Interface.

3rd party apps do not have access to private iPhone APIs, and this involves a private iPhone API.

I bought a pair of Playtronics Backbeat 903 Bluetooth headphones that support the A2DP and AVRCP profiles. that the Iphone 3gS that I own are also suppose to support and I believe they do. Now just recently the phone will not allow the headphones to control it (pause, skip to next song, etc). I have reset the headphones, I have unpaired and re-paired the headphones with the phone, I have removed any other bluetooth pairing profiles from the phone, still no luck. Anyone have any idea how I get the phone or headphones to recognize the AVRCP profile so I can use the headphones as designed.

As I said, when I first got the headphones all of these controls worked, now they do not. Thanks in advance.

My Plantronics M100i also do not support to play podcast, music, video, sound
Is there any software can solve it?

Many thanks

No there's no software because you would have to hack the headset... Not the phone... The phone. Atleast with 4.1 is already a2dp compliant! Your headset is the problem!

It works with my old Nokia nicely
Play podcast games sound music
So there is nothing wrong with it
And even from Plantronis said there is nothing they can do
But only the iphone4 coming update

As already mentioned, the headset itself needs to support the protocol. No software on the iPhone will ever be able to make an external piece of hardware do something it is not capable of.

Jabra makes a couple of BT ear pieces that support A2DP - I have the Jabra BT8040 and the newer BT530 and they both work great with my iPhone 3GS. Both support hands-free and stereo A2DP protocols.

the problem with A2DP is that when a Headset that supports A2DP is connected to the iPhone 4 no sound come through the headset for Texts or email.
Here is what I have found...

I have my iPhone set to play sounds and vibrate for alerts

I have ensured the phone is not on Silent via the side switch

When my iPhone is connected via bluetooth to another headset that doesn't support A2DP (e.g. BlueAnt V1) the phone will sound an audible alert via the phone speakers when an email or text message is received as well as vibrate. Additionally no sound is heard through the headset.

When my iPhone is connected via bluetooth to my new Voyager Pro+ (supports A2DP)the phone does not sound an audible alert via the phone speakers when an email or text message is received. The phone only vibrates. Also no sound is heard through the headset.

It seems to me that the headset goes into standby and email tone is too short.
By the time the headset responds to the sound, the sound is already over.
I could change the text tone to something longer, but the new sounds are obnoxious and the standard tri-tone is too short.
If there was a way to allow the iPhone's internal speakers to play sounds while on a A2DP headset (like an override switch) it would be ideal.

I have the identical issue and miss many text messages. I sure would like this to be solved.

I do enjoy using the Voyager Pro+ for listening to the video's but absolutely need the I phone 4 to sound an alert when messages arrive.
