[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sark666:
No one? I know a couple of you said it worked, but are you sure grooveip is actually recording via the mic? I can hear phone calls using various sip apps with bluetooth, but I know the mic isn't recording. One of the headsets my friend has is a Motorola MOTOROKR S9 Stereo Bluetooth Headphones. Link here: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-S9-Bluetooth-Headphones-Packaging/dp/B0017KTOJK.

I've only tried stereo headsets, so maybe that is the issue. The Motorola HS850 is a single ear piece, I'm not sure what plantronics set you have.

I'd really appreciate if someone else can verify if bluetooth is working. If bluetooth recording in fact works with the nexus 7, I must be really unlucky with 4 headsets that don't, which I find highly unlikely or nexus 7 has poor bluetooth support. The only thing left is my bluetooth hardware is broken which I find even more unlikely. Aradreamer, you say you've seen several posts saying bluetooth works, but I haven't found one post explicitly stating bluetooth recording works. I found more post on other forums clearly stating it doesn't work.

odd odd ...

first off i have the Nexus 7 16g with it rooted.

heres what i did first i bought the samsung HM1200 didnt thoroughly test that 1 because i figured it just wouldnt work with the device ( or was broken ) once i started to get all this screeching out of it... i heard sound momentarily then all it did was the screeching at different levels. returned it yesterday. then i added a couple more bucks ( about $27 total ) and got the plantronics M20 took it home and crossed my fingers. got it all it paired up and what not and ended up with the same condition except now the mic is working perfectly. i tested this thoroughly now over and over inside and outside and also away from the N7 to be sure the mic is working. this is great BUT i cannot hear any sound at all coming in to the N7 except the same screeching at constantly varying levels. this is with both grooveip and talkatone. i also tried uninstalling beats audio and rebooting but i read somewhere this wont change the drivers back to the originals and i still have the same condition. i just got the N7 about 3 weeks ago and the store where i bought it has a price guarantee so i am today planning to return it and get the N7 again but this time the 32g version. ( they got 2 left so i will be going ASAP. ) so almost all the work i put into setting this thing up is about to be wasted. still i am going to do it anyways. to me its just the point of getting the best i can with my available budget/resources and i can easily see this thing be full and kicking myself in the butt for not doing it. this time around i will test all of what i mentioned here BEFORE i root it. in fact i will only install the necessary apps ( grooveip/talkatone etc.. ) during testing. its a real pain in the butt but it is a MUST i have this thing working as a phone with BT asap. thanks for the input and i will report back later.

update: actually in a more quiet room i was able to hear myself on the BT headset but very very low and in the background behind the screeching. still will report back later with the new unit.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clubtech:
For some reason the Bluetooth headset profile on the n7 is totally broken. I tried MANY headsets and none of them work. It is either the drivers, the hardware or the kernel. I hope it fixable in the 3g version.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zip1212:
yep i am sitting here now with the 32g N7 and the first thing i did was try the BT unrooted and its the exact same thing screeching like mad can hear myself on the mic perfect from the other phone and can hear the other phone low in the background of the screeching on the N7 :( ugh

i have a temporary solution that should work till its sorted.... i need a new headset for my computer anyways so ill just make sure to grab one that is USB then when my OTG cable arrives i am pretty sure that should work. it will be corded but at least i can use the phone somewhat normally for free. ill let you know. now im off to rebuild the whole thing back to where i had it in the 16.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clubtech:
Bummer. Hopefully they fix it with 4.2 or with the 3G version.

It also seems that if you try to toggle speakerphone / BT headset in various voip apps the tablet will crash and restart.

I tried with GrooveIP, Talkatone and the build in phone app (After changing the framework-res.apk file).

I also noticed i had better luck getting the BT headset to fully (and randomly) work when doing outgoing calls. It never worked on incoming calls.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beakfire:
Any progress on this?

I've noticed the same problem and just returned a BT headset due to the problems in GrooveIP & Talkatone

As a side note I was able to get the BT headset to work as a MIC with the google voice commands by using the following..

- Soundabout

- Under BT settings set it to force mono BT mic

- Set audio to wired headset

Just as ref, I'm using my N7 in my car, so my setup may be a bit different.

But this worked, I was able to tell my N7 commands and it would read out the response over my car speakers.

Anyone had success with a USB mic? Curious if that will work.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalimazoo:
I'm very interested in this thread too.

I have a 32GB nexus 7, rooted and unlocked. I have a Platronics M100 bluetooth earpiece. My goal is to be able to dictate to Evernote through the BT earpiece. It is pairing and under the connect settings it is showing up as "phone audio". But when I speak into it nothing is happening in Evernote. I also do not get media audio through the earpiece.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcarr1:
My Sony xperia Z accepts audio from bluetooth microphones, but only during a phone call.

When the call is terminated the paired bluetooth mic becomes inactive and the phones built in microphone takes over. I have tried many apps but none will accept audio from a BT mic.

I have tried a number of headsets and speakerphones and they all behave in the same way. Sound is not a problem as the BT speaker simply replaces the phones internal one when paired.

The xperia Z has a setting which claims to: " record audio through bluetooth headset if available", but this setting does nothing. I keep retrying the setting at every android update, to no avail. Currently at 4.2.2.

When I plug in a wired headset, the speaker and mic simply replace the ones in the phone. Why doesn't bluetooth behave in the same way?

This issue has been raised in many forums, in relation to many android devices, but never answered.

Overnight while my AT&T Galaxy s3 was charging, a near by bag with water leaked and got all over my phone. I got up in the morning and realized what had happened and the phone still worked. Later today my phone said no service because of no sim card. Opened the cover, and noticed a little water on the battery and sim card so I cleaned that up, still did not recognize the sim card. So thought no bid deal I'll get a new sim card, about an hour later the phone shut down and would not boot. Battery now apears to be completely dead, has a red mark on the water indicator. The phone however is still white. I can boot it up pluged into a power source, then when it gets to the colored cirlces falling down it just dies. Whent into recover mode, did a reset to factor and still does the same thing, will boot and then just die right after it displays the circles falling down and then goes into download mode. Is it maybe just the battery, wont boot without a good battery? any ideas would be appreciated
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Dice62:
You're supposed to leave the phone to dry for a few days instead of trying to use it.

Take the phone apart. Remove battery, sim, and microsd.

Place parts in bag of rice or silica gel packets.

Leave phone for 4 or so days to dry.

Put back together and turn on.

You used the phone after it was wet. You might have already done permanent damage.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] duowing:
I was wondering if there's anyway to get Samsung Dive working on our US S3 Variants. Unfortunately I don't know enough about this to even know where to start, but I have noticed that our devices have the Remote Controls program, app, whatever you want to call it running in the background. I figure there just needs to be some way to access it. I don't know if there's a way to essentially merge those things over from the i9300 to our US variants? I really liked having Samsung Dive as it was built in and didn't require another third party app.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ozark_8125:
I was goofing around with the stock JB rom today (been a while since playing around with stock!!) and was rather enjoying using kies for sending texts. Well, I also saw that reference to Samsung Dive after digging into allshare and it looks interesting - don't see why it shouldn't work with our devices. Just need someone with an international variant to pull the files and someone kind and caring could make an apk for us... :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drklazarus26:
This would be great. I don't really want to use a third party solution especially when this is tailor made for this line of phones. I don't understand why it's available for some variants and not others. Stupid red tape!

Time and money have been invested into this project so donations are appreciated.

Donations: HERE

ATTENTION: I need a copy of someones full backup. Requirements are that you never flashed an AOSP rom (CM9, CM10, AOKP) and that your SGS3 is T-mobile. I need this to work on the data issue!

Update: The data issue is still being worked on and some progress has been made but there is still not a solid easy fix.

IF YOU MADE A BACKUP THEN GOT THE DATA BUG, PLEASE MAKE A SECOND BACKUP SO THAT I CAN COMPARE THE BEFORE/AFTER!

Can someone with a T-mobile sgs3 that has never flashed a CyanogenMOD rom or preformed a clockworkmod restore do a full backup and send it to me in a private message?

To do the backup I need read Range (Dec): 00000-05575

Note: I want this so I can look into the data issues that some people are having. Thank you.

Is thats how it suppose to look , isn't string very short only 9 characters long ? ATT Samsung based deodexed rom.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] norbarb:
It is working on ATT too? Do i have to have unsecure kernel?

Edit: i know the answer for first one... Yes how about second?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] <:GeeK:>:
Yes, that is how it's supposed to look. The 08 is the command setting and the rest is your encoded IMEI.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] <:GeeK:>:
Yes it works on ATT also. No you do not need insecure kernel, it will work on a stock phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Deleted member 2371530:
It will work if I'm rooted also?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Deleted member 2371530:
So I backup the IMEI and if I ever loose it I restore my IMEI and it will give me back data btw great work will donate soon, I'm on a stock rom not cm with faux kernel, I can't backup or do I have to go back to stock?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] laylovj:
Wait, you guys found the IMEI? I haven't been following. :p

Now I've got mine backed up both ways, but with this file saved to my pc, it's so fast to do. I dare somebody to wipe my imei, lmao!

Seriously Geek, you've saved alot of ppl alot of trouble & cash & that's great. You and Peoplearmy both put in alot of work to help so many ppl who couldn't have done it without you, and it's selfless acts of kindness like this that make xda such a fun community!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Orical:
Pay for "Kaspersky Pure" it's worth it, I've used everything over the years and Kaspersky is by far the most secure and configurable but if you want something close go with "ESET NOD32 Antivirus 5" but over the past 4 years K Pure has been solid and it asks you if you trust the software your installing without removing it on you first.

On topic though the software ran great and lasted about 8 minutes as expected but thanks for releasing this I really didn't want to get caught with my pants down and looking for a fix if the IMEI got wiped out.

So I tried upgrading from the UVLI3 radio to the newest UVLI7 radio in CWM touch and I lost my imei.

My 2G works but 3G is borked
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Driver issues? All the time. Try a different USB port.

I don't suppose you backed up your IMEI with a terminal emulator?

reboot nvbackup
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mejorguille:
It's one of those things I should have done but never got around to lol. I've tried out all 4 usb ports on my laptop, both 1.4.6 and 1.5.5 samsung drivers, different usb cables, rebooting the phone and computer, using the root toolkit to install the drivers, manually uninstalling the drivers in device manager and though windows add or remove programs, flashing back different radios, restoringa nandroid, wiping the caches on my phone and computer, just about everything. I wouldn't be posting for help if I didn't try everything I could think of first, and I've been around the android block lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
Which version of cwm touch were you on?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mejorguille:
An old one, 5.8.4.7 from when I first rooted my phone. I haven't tripped the root counter and I was running a JB rooted leak if it matters

EDIT: So yeah I used my dads SGS2 charger and it connected... but the cable that came with the phone didnt, my G2 cable didnt, my sisters LG cable, a few amazon cables. This one did the trick though lol
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Slurpee7600:
Does anyone have a fresh link to the already corrupt tool because its broken
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joederp:
Nope, no tool (probably for abuse reasons). If yours in corrupt, you could try to use the NV reader and read block 550 to 550 and verify that is the wrong IMEI and hex edit the txt file and rewrite, it should start with 08 1A 32 54 76 98 01 32 54 00 00 00 00 ... (if your imei was 123456789012345), I think that is all that program did. But obviously don't mess around with this stuff if you are unsure what you are doing, you don't want to write to NV in the wrong places. But you probably need this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1801997
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ross1998:
Hey guys i know the already corrupt tool got taken down but can somebody possibly message me a new link, I was a dumbass and right after i got my phone started flashing without reading any warning threads so i never did make a backup. I did try the link in the post above me but its pretty confusing and i tried but failed.

I believe you make a backup with the first tool then copy and paste the data from the generator into the text file where your imei should have been...

hhhmmmmmm lol thats harder then i thought, i thought its simply generating the text file then restoring it with the first tool. Can anyone elese explain how to use second tool?

No. The instructions in the op are clear and simple. Follow them.

The generated text file will be very small, its a single nv item. Just follow the instructions in the op and you will be fine.

Can some one please link me to the SGS3-IMEI-NV-GEN.exe. I have been stuck with Edge for the past three days and my IMEI says "0" in settings. Been trying to figure this out for a few days and googling the exe has no help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] <:GeeK:>:
OP updated with new link. You can DOWNLOAD NV GEN HERE.

Explanation for bad link:

Because of the nature of the program it scans as a trojan. I had it uploaded to my dropbox as a raw executable and my dropbox was linked to my main pc. So, Microsoft security essentials was deleting the program from my pc and therefore deleting from my dropbox account every time it did a scan/clean.

Solution:

Zip it, Re-host it

Sorry about that guys. Hope the program helps some people.
