Re: bluetooth connections

Hi you have to remember that Bluetooth is only a short range transmitter it does not have the distance of wifi.

Hi thecrazybandit, Hi fandm

Maybe @fandm is right that the bluetooth it's not wi-fi, but the project of @thecrazybandit can be realized with bluetooth.

The only you can do is to find the appropriate application because not every app can do this.

I made a quick search on the net and I found many cases that people are using more than 2 bluetooth headphones.
Unfortunately I didn't manage to find the name of an application

Re: bluetooth connections

I don't think that is possible, depending on the make of your bluetooth speakers. (Would have to support bluetooth multicast connections)


Alternatively you could buy a Raspberry Pi and number of Bluetooth USB adapters, and program it to connect to your phone and speakers individually, using Raspberry Pi as streaming server? This would require a lot of programming though.

I know Apple used to allow you to do this with iTunes, Airplay and multiple Airport Expresses, but obviously not for Android!

Re: bluetooth connections

Yes you are right it has not got the range of wifi but bluetooth seems to be used on apple products but i am surprised that android has not developed a app to to connect 2 speakers

Is this not due to a limitation in the Bluetooth protocol though? Although multicast is mentioned in the official bluetooth spec I haven't seen any consumer devices actually implementing it. Speakers would be an ideal application for this.

There are known bluetooth connection issues with Escort Live and Android 8 most probably what your Galaxy S8 Plus is using. We have an app update coming soon which should solve these bluetooth connection issues.
