The purpose of this thread is to track bluetooth support, document problems, fixes, workarounds, etc.

I'd like to get a poll going in this thread. Please post:

1. what bt headset you're using

2. what build you're running

3. short review of sound quality / bt performance

Thanks!

Support

Currently, bluetooth works in 1.5 (Cupcake), 1.6 (Donut), and 2.1 (Eclair). By 'works', that means can be enabled in the wireless settings and see devices. Everything after that is just software, right? :D

I haven't checked donut hero or eclair hero.

IIRC it does not work in Tattoo... yet. Let's get cracking.

Profiles

Currently only the headset profile is working.
[Touch CDMA General] mrkite38:
BT worked in Cupcake since early on, so we'll start with...

Donut

All that had to be fixed in donut was a missing service in the init.rc. After that was added, things worked just as they had in cupcake.
[Touch CDMA General] mrkite38:
Eclair

There were three problems in Eclair -

first (same as donut) the hciattach service was missing from init.rc.

Second, starting with Android 2.0, they switched versions of bluez from 3.3 to 4.x. This meant that what had formerly been called 'hcid' was now called 'bluetoothd' and there was a directory and config file missing from our basefiles. Fortunately, the old 3.3 bluez config worked fine once it was copied into that new directory.

Third, the hciattach binary was looking for a firmware file that didn't exist in the file system. But we got lucky and were able to sub in the older hciattach from previous versions without issue (so far!)
[Touch CDMA General] mrkite38:
RESERVED for version 2.++
[Touch CDMA General] mrkite38:
PAN

I've done some research and cobbled together some stuff on a bt pan. It's possible to do in cupcake. I believe donut and eclair are missing the pand binary.

Personally, I was hoping to use a PAN to get internet on my vogue since I'm a cheapo with no data plan. There's a hurdle here because Android runs a connectivity check before it lets you access most internet services. For example, you can start youtube over a pan connection and it will show the first page with thumbnails, but if you try to load a video it will tell you that you're not connected. So we need to figure out where to get the pan added as a 'real' connection.

1. what bt headset you're using: Samsung WEP 410

2. what build you're running: Eclair 2.1 by mssmison, with latest BT update; SD card ext2 norootfs

3. short review of sound quality / bt performance: could not detect my headset in discovery mode, could not pair

1. what bt headset you're using: Samsung WEP 410

2. what build you're running: Donut Heroblend theme by plemen, NAND norootfs

3. short review of sound quality / bt performance: paired flawlessly, both ingoing and outgoing audio working with calls. able to answer calls by pressing headset.

additional: using Plemen's donut from nand, also able to pair with my Macbook. Using Bluetooth file transfer from my vogue, I am able to surf my public macbook folders from my phone. when looking from the mac, though, no services are available on the phone.

This is the earpiece I'm using, and I'm using Plemen's "[Android] Donut AOSP Eclair - Updated 02/01 - No rootfs boot" v252

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=591104

So far, it's working great. Callers say I sound fine, and I can hear them. Has chugged along through several 1-2 hour conversations. Answering calls using the button on the earpiece works, and incoming and outgoing calls seem to work fine.

Would Blutooth folder from a droid from verizon with eclair 2.01 be of any help to look at???

Typically the people who know what to do with those get them as soon as they're available. I'm not one of them, though - thanks for the offer.
[Touch CDMA General] daganb:
Looking for a start to research more into Bluetooth and A2DP drivers, I have some linux experience and would like to help the community with testing or helping to create stereo bluetooth drivers.

Basically all that is holding me back from using as a daily OS on my vogue. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Oh I am running 1.6 with motorola s9's, phone will pair and shift music to headphones in stereo, however is extremely laggy and plays a second of music then a second of silence to "catch up".
[Touch CDMA General] mrkite38:
Go search the kernel thread for 'bluetooth'. IIRC, the big hurdle to A2DP is that only the low-speed serial driver works. That means we're currently capped at 115200 bps. dzo (the kernel god) has made some attempt at backporting the driver from the 2.6.27 kernel but eventually left off in favor of other things. Last I remember he was using haret to dump some info out of Windows Mobile. Like I said, it's all in that thread.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zero96:
So ya I want to know what is the best 2.1 ROM for htc hero out there right now??
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeltje:
That's like asking what the best car is...

You need to test drive them yourself to figure that out :p
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelnes:
Agreed! Just test a few and see for yourself:rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defaria:
Love to. Which one works with a CDMA based Sprint HTC Hero?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelnes:
Maybe you could see in the Hero CDMA forum?!? Here!!!!! Doesn't hurt to do a little search, you know ;)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defaria:
It also doesn't hurt to provide a little direction to somebody without being snide about it! Normally I search myself - but you never know exactly how busy the asking the question is. If I told you all I've been doing just this weekend your head would explode.

Thanks for the pointer. Next time try doing it a bit more kindly.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelnes:
Usually I'm not that difficult when people ask questions. But when it seems like they haven't tried to search for minimum five minutes, I can be a bit rude. Especially about questions like yours, where the answer is so obvious.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] defaria:
Indeed and I'm the same way so really, I do understand. But what you don't understand or haven't acknowledged, is that while I usually search for answers I've been totally swamped with my new multimedia laptop between working in Windows 7 and trying to get Ubuntu 9.10 to do what Windows 7 just seems to do seemlessly (fingerprint scanner - Windows? Check? Ubuntu, no driver. Bluetooth? Windows - just works; Ubuntu no go (go after reboot), Windows Media Center hook up to HDTV? Piece of cake. Ubuntu - can't display on both at the same time. Plus on Ubuntu the sound is not sent out the HDMI cable. Sound on Ubuntu? Mono! Windows? 5.1. Windows responds seemlessly to IR remote - Ubuntu? Doesn't know it's there!!!). The thought of reburning my phone right now is a bit too much for this weekend. Plus I've found a few threads where there's mention of 2.1 for Hero and I queried "Does that work on CDMA" only to hear silence. If I dropped the other 20 things I'm doing right now and concentrated on this then I'm sure you'd find I'd be up to your standards.

This all could be labeled "Hey dude - cut me some slack will ya?".

Back to the laptop, mediaserver issues...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shelnes:
It's okay. Good luck with your setting-up-ubuntu-project! :) I've been there myself!

[HD2 General] fxcoupeman83:
Hi guys,

Got another tweak for you Telstra HD2 owners still running the stock ROM. This cab will remove the bigpond splash screen when you load up Opera and enable the default 'HTC: quietly brilliant' logo instead.

There are 2 files attached: one which keeps the animated progress bar during Opera startup and one which removes it. Personally I like the one which removes it, but you have the option to try both.

Again, each cab just makes the required registry changes and nothing more. Changes should work straight away, no reset required.

Note: This will NOT remove the Bigpond logo from the Internet tab. If anyone has an idea of how to change this back to the original, pleas let me know :)
[HD2 General] garyccox:
thx so much for this, anyone know how to remove quicklinks to apps from telstra on apps page
[HD2 General] xLAMBIEx:
Can you just give me the registry changes needed so i dont have to use the CAB?
[HD2 General] Archer:
Yes mate...

HKLM\Software\Opera\Info

Set SplashProgressAnimation to 1 for on or 0 for off.

Just for future reference, you can unzip cab files and the xml file inside tells you what all the other files actually are, and also lists any registry changes.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
Do you mean the quicklinks on the homepage are locked? if so, in the registry find

hklm/software/HTC/manila/home

You will see lots of numbered folders, these are the quicklinks.

lets say the shortcut is in the first left hand square, thats 0, so look in the 0 folder, look down for the entry IsReadOnly. If that is set to 1, the quicklink is locked. change it to 0 and you can remove the quicklink.
[HD2 General] lamensterms:

ive posted in another thread asking the same thing.

[Nexus One Accessories] chirico:
Hello,

In my car I have the Parrot CK3000 evolution car kit installed.

I can pair it with my nexus without problems.

After pairing incoming and outgoing phone calls should be routed through the handset but that doesn't happen.

My wife's htc hero, after pairing with the same handset, easily allows to establish the connection beetwen the hero and the handset long pressing the "parrot 2.51C" item in bluetooth settings and clicking the "Connect" item.

Long pressing the same item on my nexus shows a popup menu where the only option available is unpair.

Did anybody manage to make this handset work with nexus one?

For your information my parrot car kit has software version 2.51C and restarting the phone, resetting parrot memory, unpairing and pairing again didn't make any difference.

Regards,

Francesco
[Nexus One Accessories] pwvandeursen:

http://www.parrot.com/forums/english/viewtopic.php?pid=25879#p25879

Although this is for a ck3100.
[Nexus One Accessories] doalittledanse:
I have this kit too. I'm at work so I can't test the link you put up but I don't think it will work. The nexus actually pairs with the device, it just won't connect. and the 3100 has an lcd screen so it runs completely different software
[Nexus One Accessories] thebiker:
I used Parrot CK3100 with HD2. Everything was good! The sync was working very good with tons of rom. I tried with Acer Liquid. It was good. But when I tried with Nexus One original rom and Cyanogen rom I had a big problem with number. I always store the mobile phone number the following form: +36XXXXXXXX. All other phone managed it perfectly but N1 not.

I can sync the number with Parrot but the number was the following format: 36X-XXX-XXXX

It is WRONG!! I can't call the number without "+" I tried with the latest Desire (A10) rom and everything is fine!!!! Like with HD2!!! But the pairing is horrible with the A10. So I use Desire rom now.
[Nexus One Accessories] danimar1:
I'm talking about a CK3100 here, but I had a problem when I first tried to pair it yesterday, it said it paired successfully but it didn't connect at all, no matter how many times I tried. The solution procedure for me was (maybe some step are not necessary at all but that's how I got it to work)

1. Unpair and delete the reference to the Parrot unit from the phone

2. Turn off phone bluetooth

3. Turn off car bluetooth (keys off until the Parrot turns the screen off)

4. Turn on phone bluetooth and enable visibility

5. Turn on car bluetooth

6. Pair from the Nexus One to the Parrot, enter pin

7. A request to access the agenda apeared on the phone, accept and you're ready to go.

I don't think it matters but just in case, I'm on stock rom (update1) and rooted.

PS: It's a total pain in the ass to have to re-record all the Parrot voice tags whenever I change my phone...
[Nexus One Accessories] chirico:
I managed to connect my CK3000 with N1 using the procedure that danimar1 describes.

No luck in copying my contacts to the parrot :/

Did anybody have success with this task?

F.
[Nexus One Accessories] ScottC:
I've experienced this on other carkits too - it'll pair, but audio never transfers. Obviously a bug in the N1. I hope they fix it soon :(
[Nexus One Accessories] chirico:
In my case routing phone calls between parrot Ck3000 evolution and nexus one works.

The thing that I'm not able to do is to transfer my contacts.

Francesco
[Nexus One Accessories] doalittledanse:
the ck3000 doesnt support contact syncing i dont think. that is the one bummer about android phones and bluetooth, no voice tag support. with my bb, it could use the phones voice recognition to voice dial from the car kit
[Nexus One Accessories] doalittledanse:
when you unpaired, did you delet the phone from the parrot memory also?
[Nexus One Accessories] danimar1:
No I didn't, everything was done from the Nexus One. But if you have problems connecting maybe it would be a good idea to do so.
[Nexus One Accessories] doalittledanse:
and what firmware is your ck3000 on? im assuming thats an issue for me because ive never updated mine and its still at 2.10 i think
[Nexus One Accessories] danimar1:
I'm sorry I have a CK3100, but anyway I never updated it. I got it a little more than 2 years ago, so I don't think it would be a firmware version problem.

Hi there,

I use Handcent SMS, and recently I've noticed that my contacts do not appear when I try to "send to multiple".

DDMS is spitting out the following error when I try:

Any of the devs here have some idea of what might be causing this, or how I can trouble-shoot further? Is this due to a bad contact in my database? How on Earth would I be able to find which contact is the problem? Can I somehow interrogate the contacts database?

On my stock HTC ROM, I was able to tell the HTC People app to sync only "My Contacts" from my Google Account. It seems that with Android 2.1, it syncs EVERYTHING (ie. even contacts that are only there because I replied to an Email of theirs once before). I can choose to DISPLAY only "My Contacts", but they are all still there, perhaps that's the problem with Handcent.

Any advice appreciated.

OK, so after trying out the last android build from Markinus, winmo is now saving text messages to the SIM.

If I do a 'hard' reset, what will I lose on my phone? (contacts/texts/email setup etc??). Please explain the downside of hard reseting. Thanks! (or basically.. will I need to save/backup anything before hard resetting?)

Also: Will it remove the 'unlock' that I have applied to my phone?

Update: Well I did it anyway. Saved my contacts, but that's about it lol. Hopefully this will get my messages to saving back into memory rather than onto the sim.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
I would think an emulator like this would be basically impossible. All the emulators are for much older gaming platforms (like Gameboy and Playstation One), where the much less powerful hardware can be emulated with the TP2's CPU. The TP2 and the iPhone are too close in specs, and many of the games utilize the iPhone's graphics accelerator. The TP2 simply wouldn't be able to emulate the iPhone's hardware.

Why???

Can anybody tell me why Samsung makes phones with USB plug on the top of the devices? In my opinion it is reason why the car holder does not exist and many people do not by this phone... me too. Samsung have to learn from "Garmin Asus Nüvifone M10". Add an original car holder is the best way to make the phone more attractive for an customers. And to make original docking station it is better too. Am I right?
