I could not get that one or another one to work. The other one FCed, and this one couldnt find the bluetooth audio source and then fced. I do not know if it is JB or what at this point.
[Nexus 7 General] sark666:
I assume you tried with your plantronics 520? Well, it seems grooveip does something that most (none?) other apps don't seem to do with bluetooth recording. That or there's an issue with jellybean that grooveip has updated to get around.

But I still think it should be up to the OS and no app should actually have to code for bluetooth audio, but that's just my laymen's point of view.

I wonder if the native sip ability in android would work? I would think or at least hope it would, but they didn't include the phone dialer in nexus 7. Why not just include it? Yes it's not a phone, but once they added sip capability, now any device with wifi and a mic can act as a phone. Other tablets seem to have that removed as well.

I remember there was a thread about trying to get it enabled in nexus 7.

[Nexus 7 General] volwrath:
I also just paired with my MotoS9. It shows both media and phone. It also works great with grooveip. I ran several tests to my speakerphone at work and there is no doubt that it is working through the bluetooth mic. When I ran it through the n7 mic, I opened and closed the case and could hear alot of crackling on the speakerphone. I could also cover the mic and speaking would not come through the speakerphone. Both tests were repeated with my s9, and the rustling of closing the case was gone and I could hear myself fine through the speakerphone even when I covered up the mic. So I guess I am 2 for 3 on bluetooth audio devices.

Any other programs I should test with the bt headset?
[Nexus 7 General] sark666:
There doesn't seem to be many that boast having bluetooth support. This one supposedly does but it just fc's for me with bluetooth enabled:

I'll post more as I find them.
[Nexus 7 General] Entropy512:
Mass defect, or just a bunch of users expecting nonstandard accessories to work in a device they weren't designed for?

Same deal as the charger situation - everyone keeps insisting that the N7 is picky about chargers, when it follows the USB charging standard perfectly. Somehow it's the N7's problem that it doesn't work with chargers that blatantly violate the standard (Apple chargers...)

Edit: Never mind - looks like it simply doesn't support it. Not a "defect" - just an unimplemented feature.
[Nexus 7 General] sark666:
How did you confirm it's an unimplemented feature? And if so, why do some users report grooveip working? How would grooveip implement something that's not there at the OS level. Well, I assume you mean unimplemented at the OS level.

And that kind of irks me. Obviously I'd assume android phones work with bluetooth, but it's disabled in tablets? I've read some companies do that to discourage a tablet being used as a voip phone but I wouldn't think google/asus would do that. And what's so unreasonable maybe using a bluetooth device with google hangouts for example. Or a voice recorder or whatever. I hope cyaongenmod or something else incorporates this.

On a somewhat related note, I only realized recently the sync issues with bluetooth audio and movies/games. Works fine with the youtube app and google's movie player, but that's it. Try a game with bluetooth, the sound effects are off by a least a second. I initially read that it's a limitation of bluetooth as a technology, but I was at a friends who has a playbook and games/movies are all in perfect sync with bluetooth. My other friend told me the same thing with his ipad. I looked and there was a bug opened on this over two years with google but no response.

I really like android but some of these things are disappointing. I doubt any custom rom addresses the bluetooth lag but if anyone knows a rom that enables bluetooth recording please let me know.
[Nexus 7 General] andy o:
sark666, you're talking about something completely different. This thread was not started about bluetooth, and neither it was what he was talking about.

That said, I disagree about "nonstandard accessories". There are only so many ways you can wire a headset's mic, and the way that works with the iPhone is pretty much a standard now, it works with my LG phone, Samsung phone, and iPod Touch.

Also, thanks to the people who did the research; I'm also very disappointed. It's usually Apple who leaves out these little but important details in their first-gen devices.
[Nexus 7 General] sark666:
Yes you are right, but this thread kind of died and myself and a couple of others have been talking about bluetooth now for the last few pages. That's what I thought he meant wasn't implemented. So for others, the port does not support a mic. Done deal.

So the next best thing is a bluetooth mic which seems to be an impossible thing to have as well. Or so far only grooveip seems to work.
[Nexus 7 General] speedygonzo:
I can confirm the external mic working with my Beats Solo HD headphones.
[Nexus 7 General] andy o:
Sorry, but have you read the thread at all? The Nexus 7 doesn't have a TRRS jack, its hardware simply can't get a mic input from the jack. There were others also claiming it worked, but it was due to some confusion.
[Nexus 7 General] Entropy512:
No I mean unimplemented in hardware - TRS instead of TRRS.
[Nexus 7 General] Placeman:
I had the same issue with my Nexus 7. Right channel on headphones would not work. I tried several different headphones with the same result. Google tech support suggested that I do a factory reset on the device. I was skeptical, but after the reset, both channels on my audio worked. I then spent the next hour or so reloading all the apps I had prior to the reset. I then tested the audio again. Guess what? Right channel is out again. Evidently some application is causing the issue. Now I have to go through the arduous task of wiping the device again, and testing the audio after installing each app. What a PITA. I will post my results here though.
[Nexus 7 General] volwrath:
Hmm I just updated my phone to JB as well and now it only sees the S305 as media only grrr
[Nexus 7 General] faldore:
Intentional

Did it occur to any of you that this was intentional?

They knew that people would want to plug in earbuds and use it as a phone.

They did not want people to do that, because they want to sell phones.

That is why they sell it for bargain $200 price. If it competed with phones they'd be forced to mark down the price of phones to compete.

I'm gonna hack mine and put up a youtube video just to stick it to the man.
[Nexus 7 General] jbot:
no, i don't think calling it a "headset jack" then really providing a headphone jack was intentional. that's like saying that a car comes with a moonroof, but when you buy it, you see that it's actually a sunroof, and the car vendor

purposely

misled you. that would be straight up dishonest.

if you're saying that they really wanted it to be a headphone jack, ok, that could've been the case, but that is not really what this thread is about. it's really about this "headset jack" only working as a headphone jack. everyone was trying to get to the bottom of whether this really was a headset jack which was broken, or if it actually was only a headphone jack, and the documentation is incorrect.

i think it was simply a mistake in documentation, or they really thought it was going to be a headset jack, and for whatever reason, there were mistakes in production by asus or some miscommunication between asus and google that led to what we actually have.
[Nexus 7 General] jsauve23:
As I understand it, the Nexus 7 does not have a 4-pole 3.5mm headset jack. It has a 3-pole jack. This would mean that no microphone will work with it. A disappointing engineering decision for those of us that would like to manipulate inbound audio signals with our Nexus 7 tablets. :(
[Nexus 7 General] scotyard:
This is an old topic but can anyone tell me whether a Bluetooth headset works with this tablet?
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
Works in what capacity?
[Nexus 7 General] scotyard:
The microphone. Can a bluetooth headset w/mic be used to chat?

The reason I ask this is because the onboard microphone plain sucks.
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
Gotcha, I'll try it out, I intended to do it sometime today but i've been a recluse all day. Headset is in the car, I'll record some audio from both.
[Nexus 7 General] scotyard:
Hi, did you happen to try it out? Any updates?
[Nexus 7 General] UnusualSuspect:
I just paired up my Motorola SD10 and recorded some video. Verified that both phone and media audio were enabled in BT settings. No joy, the audio was picked up thru the N7's microphone.
[Nexus 7 General] andy o:
I don't think video recording apps usually use the headset profile, you need to test with a VoIP app. Viber works with bluetooth for instance.
[Nexus 7 General] UnusualSuspect:
Ah, yeah I wondered about that. I don't use VoIP.

LOL no I don't. :D

Hello xda im redoing myns warm twopointtwo where the android version is a pretty good okay 2.3.5.

How would i do that like i would just change to build props but i might have it has a base for a new rom change some stuff up.

If you havent tried or heard of myns Warm TwoPointTwo its a great rom great battery life too and u need to try it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Diablo67:
Myns twopointtwo has been out for the evo for some time now and as far as the build.prop,not quite understanding your question,but you edit it,by using Notepad++,install Notepad++ and then right click the build.prop and there you go,do your edits and save.

Changing the version in byuild.prop is just a visual thing... It will not magically make it gingerbread. Hell, I could make it say Android version 5 "twinkie" lol.

But if you want gingerbread, you have to flash a different rom since twopointtwo is froyo. Try decks reloaded, real smooth

Okay thanks man god dammit i just got done changing stuff up...ill start from a OTA sence then or wait awhile and actually finish what im doing and keep it to my self i

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] marhensa:
yes, the purpose of this m11kkaa phyton script is to make custom size of navigation bar much easier.

but if you can live with big default navigation bar (like 10% of the screen)

you just could simply add this line to the build.prop (credits to m11kkaa which found it)

qemu.hw.mainkeys=0

then flash the revert zip I give to get the default height value.

After some debugging I got the script working for my Nexus 4 and Android 4.2.2

First thing: You need apktool.jar in the same directory as the script. It can be downloaded from http://code.google.com/p/android-apktool/

Maybe you should mention it in your description.

Then I had to modify the script a little bit. I dont know if its new in the new android versions or you just forgot it ;)

In the lines where you change the entries for dimes.xml you wrote

<dimen name=navigation_bar_height_landscape>"+size+"</dimen>

but for android 4.2.2 it seems like it has to be

<dimen name=navigation_bar_height_landscape>"+size+"dip</dimen>

Then it worked fine. Thank you for the script!

Btw: I attached the modified script for those you dont know how to do it on your own :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bronski813:
I dont know if this is a problem with my phone or the ROM. This seems to happen intermittently and I dont know what to do about it. It drives me crazy especially when I am trying to text or do anything. Sometimes and it seems more frequent lately, when I unlock my phone and go to text or send an email and I am in the middle of typing.... all of a sudden, the search menu pops up repeatedly. Once this happens I stop touching the screen completely and it just keeps popping up and down continuously like I am pressing the search button at the bottom of my screen. It will do this for several minutes, sometimes longer. Then it goes away and I dont see it again for days. But it keeps happening.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of problem?

Things I have tried with no success... 1. check for debris stuck on the screen near the search button. 2. dirty screen. 3 replaced screen protector. 4. removed screen protector. 5. removed phone protector (otterbox) completely, no screen protector either, just phone.

None of these have stopped this menu popping problem. Please help? Should I just take this phone back and try and get a replacement? I am sure that if I do that, the tech wont be able to duplicate the problem. UUGHH!!

UPDATE: Found this thread about the same thing and, yes, it looks like low signal and ICS combo on 3G could be the culprit.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] astro004:
First off, it sounds like you have a messy situation with your phone pooping often. :) Kidding aside, I am having the same issue. I really thought it was faulty touch sensors. I am currently using AKOP build 7/20 and the issue seems to sporadically pop up. I am glad I am not the only one
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mcadamry:
Sprint is literally MADE of these phones.

They have so many that they're pushing them to Boost mobile.

Politely demand a replacement, insist that the issue is covered.

You will have no problem getting what you need.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bronski813:
Thank you for the advice. I will try it. Not sure if I should put my OS back to stock before taking in or not. I am currently running SuperGalaxy v1.3(FF18) ICS 4.04. Suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bronski813:
I called the Sprint store where I bought the phone and asked them about it and they said they were having a lot of similar issues since the latest OTA update. However, I told them mine has been doing it months before the OTA update, which is true. She suggested I bring it in nad have the tech look at it. So I will probably do that but should I put the OS back to stock first?

My ODIN Mode info below.

Custom Binary Download = 0

Current Binary = Samsung Official.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mcadamry:
If you're running a safe recovery such as agat's, etc, then I believe a simple factory reset would suffice.

I'm somewhat new to the android os, so my statement above may need verified.

But I'm no greenhorn when it comes to getting these phones replaced: this is my fourth one!

The safest bet (and what I would do) is to ODIN back to ff18 stock. Or el29 even. Whatever.

Good luck! That button issue would be unbearable for me!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bronski813:
I will do that and make a backup first though. Thanks again!:good:

edit:i do believe the long-press of the 'menu' button brings up the new ICS search feature. long press of the 'search' button brings up the google voice search on my phone.

--

its not random..its when your in a low signal area.

I too thought it was faulty hardware buttons, but there was a thread here somewhere that mentioned it happens when in low signal area that caused the "menu" button to be pushed. this has been happening on my phone and others before ICS OTA.

not sure why its been happening, nor do i know of a fix :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bronski813:
I am certainly in a low signal area. In fact, my signal is almost non-existant. What I dont understand is why roaming doesnt kick in and use whatever signal is available. I know that AT&T has signal boosters in my building and the signal is very strong. Maybe the signal issue is causing the problem but I have not seen that thread. I will do some searching and if I find it I will post here.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rehpot1:
Same problem with my phone. Just got back from vacation, 10hr drive both ways using the phone for navigation there and back home, so the phone was in my line of sight the whole time. It always did it in low signal or slow data areas, or when data roaming kicked in. I have poor reception at the house and it starts as soon as I turn off the wifi.

Local sprint store is ordering me new phone. I'm running stock EL29..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bronski813:
So if you are running stock EL29 then that would rule out ICS as part of the problem. We are left with low signal on 3G. I have been watching closely over the past day and it only happens on my phone when low/no signal and no wifi. If I am connected to wifi then it doesnt do it. I am sure if I put my phone in airplane mode it wouldnt do it either. I will test that today.
