The only option we have so far is the Samsung HM5000. (Pocket headset).

If someone can make an app that allows us the use our simless phone as a bluetooth device to answer calls coming from the tablet, I would buy it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andycee:
Hi guys, looking for exactly the same thing for an in car solution.

As you have found out, this IS possible on the Samsung Galaxy Player.

In fact, here is a video of it in action...how annoying !!

...bah...can't post links

Just google "Pair with Mobile Phone to Receive Calls via Bluetooth" and you'll see it.

Keep up the search....

I have a need for something similar

So I have a Jiayu G3, excellent phone, just not compatible with our Telecom XT network here in New Zealand. Wasn't a problem until my work decided to change to telecom from vodafone. So I got given a Galaxy Young as a work phone. Seriously this is the phone apple should have tried harder to ban, it's crap.

However onto the problem and solution. If I could run a gmate "Server" like app on the Galaxy Y, it can stay in my pocket and I can choose on my Jiayu G3 running a gmate "client" like app which phone I'd like to call out on.

A gmate doesn't work on the Telecom NZ's network either (its WCDMA 850/2100 Mhz) other wise I'd just get a gmate and stick works sim in that.

So again, if this can be made to work (similar to the tablet/phone scenario) I too would "Buy" the working app.

Partial idea

I have been trying to get something like this going for a long time. I have a slightly more complicated version of the problem, cause I would prefer to use an iPhone for the phone and an Android for the Carputer. What I have been doing is the following ... getting a voip style phone app and phone number (from apps like Fongo, Google Voice, TextPlus (etc)) ... I use a profile switcher (jailbroken iPhone) to detect the bluetooth bond in the car, and then set the phone to auto-forward to the voip phone number. (obviously you have to set that up ahead of time). This works well for phone calls (though dialing OUT will not look like your phone number) but at least people calling in will be able to call you normally.

But SMS becomes a problem. Now in the case of Apple if its iPhone to iPhone you can setup an iPad tablet to get them, but that will not work in 1} non-iPad, 2} non-iDevice-to-iDevice.

My theory for that solution is to take SMS and auto-forward them as emails and than have a daemon running on the tablet read the emails, ... but this is a little ugly.

Is still no solution ?

HI, i 'm looking for the same possibilities.

I have a carpc in the car with windows sistem and Centrafuse software. I can listen the music, use navigation, passengers can watch video, play games, with 3g dongle or Wifi connection can use the internet. I can connect my phone via Bluetooth for hand free call ect...When I call or recive the call music automatic mute and play on when cals endet. The Same with the use of Navigation.

I like this:

1:Combination: Android phone and Tablets.

Advantage of tablets compared with standard Carpc is lower price and does not require the sometimes complicated installation, and takes up little space. And tablets can be used in home, on vacation in hotel, camping, at work...

For tablets you need only Car Suction Cup Tablet Mount and connection audio out on tablets and audio in on car radio.

But it is also true that you have to remove the tablets when you leave the car and still again mounted. Whit carpc just turn on the car and drive away.

2:Combination: MINIX NEO X5 : focalprice.com/EH0099B/MINIX_NEO_X5_Android404_Dual_Core_RK3066_16GHz_16G B_TV_Box_with.html?utm_source=FP&utm_medium=1304AT V&utm_campaign=FP_1304ATV_EH0099B

and 7" Touchscreen Android touchscreen : cartft.com/catalog/il/1597

MINIX NEO X5 has 1 x Headphone jack for audio out to car radio aux and 1 x Microphone jack for external Microphone for lphones call.

In this variant I see the problem that the touchscreen use Bluetooth connection to touch work. And I think it is not possible also connected Phone with Bluetooth.

Other problem is that MINIX does not have a built-in GPS receiver for Navigation apps. But you can use one USB external.

And MINIX can be used at home as a Android TV Player BOX

But the biggest problem is that there is no android apps like Centrafuse to use the Tablet as a carpc.

I'm surprised that no one software developer thought of this, because Android hardware has great potential for incar use.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DutchDennis:
Sorry, I meant my earlier reply to this threat when I was taking about BT player remote. That app is not what we're looking for because it's only a remote.

But I found something interesting today. With ES file explorer you can access other devices with WiFi or Bluetooth. I can pick a song which is on my tablet's internal storage and play it on my phone. But, that is only over WiFi and not over Bluetooth :(

I found this relevant because this app is streaming data and thus more than just a remote.

Edit: it can also be useful with a mobile hotspot. Then it is starting to look like a Bluetooth headset, but only for media files. Nice thing about this is that you don't need a data connection. And a lot of devices do have Bluetooth hotspot option. Got the feeling we're getting close!:D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DutchDennis:
Found something that could be useful again. There is an app called Bluetooth manager. This app lets you choose a device for audio output. But,it won't let you select phones.

Resurrection

I'm bringing this thread forward, b/c I too am looking for a solution... here's my need/case study.

I currently carry 2 phones, my personal android, and my work provided old-school flip phone (actually a newer but you get the idea). I would LOVE to be able to simply answer the smartphone whenever either phone rings. This way, I could just keep my flip-phone nearby (in a bag, or on my desk) rather than to answer 2 devices. Forwarding my calls is not a solution as it messes up with my billing on my personal phone (I have limited calls) and my work phone rings constantly. Would LOVE to see a solution for this where I can handle just my fav. android phone and not have to answer the flip.

Long winded, but I've been searching this for a while.

My company is NOT interested in giving me a stipend, they supply me with a phone and I'm stuck with what they give me. I am also prohibited from using the work phone for personal calls.

Some Info

Hi.

Google launched the Google Glass and it has an app, as you may know.

You can call from the google glass, recieve texts and stuff.

i runs over bluetooth

"MyGlass" its what we need right?

see this page http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...oice-support-and-pushing-navigation-to-glass/

So what we need is a port for MyGlass

there must be a way to tell our phones that the other phone (in my case i want to do this with my tablet) is a google glass

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2298214 i found that.

the name of that page is: Run Google Glass on your Android phone

i hope we can recieve calls and messages from out phone to our other phone (my case is a tablet)

I havent tried because my internet is limited

other thing that we can do is simulate that our phone (in my case is a tablet) is a car phone, if we can tell other devices that our bluetooth device is a ps3 controller and is a keyboard and mouse why not a car phone?

EDIT: i just saw an apk in android police, its called GlassBluetooth.apk its from the system dump of the Google glass

here the link http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...em-dumps-please-do-something-cool-with-these/ that might be useful i'll try it tomorrow

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sciallo:
+1 on the interest...

Like someone else here, I'm thinking of a permanently mounted tablet in my car with an external microphone. I would love to be able to make calls and answer "hands free".

Someone mentioned android head units having that, I had one. Those are a bit different than just a android device: they come with reverse camera, I-pod / i-phone / i-crap plug, DVD player, Radio, BT phone... Those are a completely different layer of hardware sitting between an android board and the audio/video hardware. In other words, the BT that's built in is not even visible to android, in order to use BT for other things (ODBII for example) one has to root the device, add kernel module and an external usb BT dongle... So the thought of simply "stealing an app from their rom" as was hoped here is not really an option...

I remember doing something similar in Ubuntu linux simply for audio, so I could play music from my phone to the Ubuntu laptop connected to my stereo. Something along these lines:

https://gist.github.com/joergschiller/1673341

...not sure it would help us with android and phone profile... Is it at all possible?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trainman261:
I've been looking to do the same thing - I have a samsung galaxy player as well - except it's a 4.0, whereas only the 4.2 and 3.6 have that functionality. My scenario is similar to what other people have here - I have the galaxy player (now running on CM 10.2) and a samsung galaxy mini. What I want to do is have everything on the galaxy player, and just use the galaxy mini as a sort of gateway. Being a developer, I looked around for how to do that. Keep in mind, though, I'm a "standard" developer, I've only worked on stuff that involves the standard APIs, etc. - I haven't done any ROM devving, root apps or anything like that. From that point of view, here are my conclusions:

Text messages should work without too much of a problem. What would probably need to be done is grab a copy of the stock android messaging app and modify it so that instead of sending the message via actual text, it sends the message over bluetooth - this would probably be with a bluetooth socket and use the input/outputStreams to send the contents of the text message via bluetooth. The phone could then send the message using the sendTextMessage call. The other way around should work as well - there is the SmsMessage class that should be able to work with that, although exactly how that will work is slightly foggy in my mind (although I think there's a 99% chance that it should work somehow).

The Phone thing is where it gets odd. The part where you send the number over to the phone is the easiest part - basically the way it was done with the text message. After that, as most people here have said, what's missing is the bluetooth headset profile - or rather, letting the device act as a headset. I've looked at another possibility I was thinking of - channeling the audio over bluetooth using some other method - except the problem is that the in-call audio is extremely hard to capture. The only things I've found are the VOICE_DOWNLINK and VOICE_UPLINK audio sources from the MediaRecorder class - and from what I see, that can only record the audio as a file, and not stream it anywhere. The one thing that came to mind is recording tiny bits of audio at a time and sending those over, but quality could potentially take quite a hit there, not to mention I'm not sure if the file transfer protocoll is fast enough - I'd have to do some tests. The other thing I've heard is that the sound you get over this method has fairly poor quality - but again, I'd have to test it. And then there's the microphone - I've found no way to stream something to a call. And then, there's the problem of bluetooth - if it would be able to handle what I'm trying to do.

I'll have to look into some of the calls you get when you run as a root app. It might also be possible to set up the headset profile with an Xposed module - but that's getting out of my area of knowledge, so for now, that means I need to do more research.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sciallo:
What functionality? Sorry, I'm confused...

And they do... TabletTalk does an amazing job at that and more... It also allows to answer and initiate phonecalls through the tablet, but it still requires a bluetooth headphone to be used or you to just pick up the phone once the phonecall has started. I asked the developer [MENTION=3767460]apDroid[/MENTION] to look into this and he said:

There is a thought, way out of my area of knowledge ATM...

Manufacturers of CAR head units like one discussed here have worked around the issue by using a separate BT board that is set as a hands free, routes audio outside of android and communicates to android with I2C (I try to explain what I understand of it in this post funny, people are complaining because that BT interface is invisible to android, therefore unusable for any other purpose (though really Ideal once we manage to get a separate bluetooth dongle to work as it leaves the hands free available and connected as we still can use ODBII adapter/keyboard or whatever else through the dongle). I suppose something like that can be achieved with a small external BT board with audio in/out plugged into the tablet somehow we're getting into the hardware hacking side though...

I have given up on the idea of a tablet on my dasboard and got one of those units. Not only because of BT, but also Amps, rear camera input, balance/fader and so on...

Another thing to consider is that if we could manage to enable headset profile that would be it for that BT device... it couldn't be used for anything else (such as bt headphones, keyboard, ODBII whatever else).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trainman261:
The functionality of using the device to make calls through another phone. There are 6 models of the galaxy player (that I know of): YP-MB2 (called the galaxy player - with no suffix), 4.0 (YP-G1, what I have), 5.0 (YP-G70), 3.6 (YP-GS1), 4.2 (YP-GI1), and the 5.8 (YP-G70C). I know the 4.0 and the 5.0 can't be used as a "headset", whereas the 3.6 and the 4.2 can. I'm not sure about the other two, they're not very well known.

The problem with the first thing you're mentioning is that that goes into hardware hacking... and I'm really not ready to start taking apart my phone or my player - I don't need it that badly. I want to get this to work from a software point of view.

As to your last paragraph, I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to say.

And yes, I know that those apps have managed to do the text message thing - I'm trying to provide an insight as to why that works and the calling doesn't - and in case some other dev lands on this, they can see exactly what the situation is.

Anyway, I'll be looking around, and I'll keep you guys posted if I find anything (no guarantees, though).

You don't necessarily have to use bluetooth headphones. Get a Scoshe Motormouth II, the bluetooth version, and tie the output into your stereo and pair it with your phone.

Please read the whole thread, some questions are answered already.

As to your link, that is giving a very vague concept of how it could be initialized - if it were to be done the way it is done in the link, you would have to rebuild Android, in other words make it as a custom ROM. I haven't had much time recently, so there's not much advancement on my side, but I will report back if I find something. Especially with the xposed framework around, I feel there should be a way of doing this without a custom ROM.
