can anyone else connect their HP touchpad to their phone via Bluetooth I have an evo 3d and neither of them find each other
I have an Epic 4G running SFR 1.2 and I can't get either device to find the other. It doesn't matter what setting I have type of device I have the touchpad look for.
Anyone else have luck hooking their phone up to their touchpad running android?
Bump - anyone had any luck? Can't get my TP to see my SGS2 or vice-versa.

I've got an... just check the sig.... anyways I was able to get the TP and the Inspire to pair but thats it, no calls, no texts. I didn't spend to much time on it cause the Inspire is actually recognized as a Desire HD (cause of the ROM) and thats on the list of not working. Good luck!
If you have Preware downloaded, Download an app called freeTether. This app allows you to make the TouchPad visible via bluetooth. Then on your phone find the TouchPad and pair it. Then accept the the link on the Touchpad and your good to go.
PS- you can also get the text messaging to work on the Touchpad with most Android phones if you use this method. You just need to make sure you allow messages to be sent via bluetooth in your phone. It should be in settings under bluetooth advance or something like that!

Texting works on my Desire HD. I get an issue with calls but I have yet to really dig in to it to try and get it working. It triggers the phone dialer but then drops saying the device doesn't support audio. Will post again if I get phone audio working.
Worked here, thanks.
Same issue with calls, it initiates it and then gives up. Texting works fine, and it appears to be receiving files from my SGS2 although I can't see where it's saving them. (EDIT: It saves them into the /tmp folder)
Now. Any way to get the TouchPad to access the WiFi connection of the SGS2 via either USB or Bluetooth somehow? (My SGS2 connects to the office Enterprise network, the TouchPad won't despite several hours of hackery to try and get it going ).

Grab it in the market. Sorry for the quality but you get the idea.
wow, this look awesome
I'm slightly reluctant to try it
seeing as how there are <50 downloads and 0 ratings in the market
but I guess I can always return it
and losing out on 3 bucks really wouldn't be the end of the world anyway

He just got it up today.
No Rush
The author stated he was working on a lite version to try it out so if you are leery to try it just hang on.
This works great!!!
Point Inside is usable now! I was just looking at a map of the Seattle airport. Before this, it would just force close when I tried to pull up a map. Logcat showed it was due to lack of GPS.
I am a happy camper.
Oh wow.. this looks incredible (espcially since i will tether with my incredible! hehe).
One question - does this also still allow internet data tethering? Or does this just piggy back on any tether (Wifi or barnacle)?

You can still use WiFi for data. The server broadcasts to the WiFi subnet (currently coded for /24 subnets).
So as long as the LAN you're on has a /24 subnet and supports broadcast packets you're good to go. Just connect both devices to the same network. It also works fine with the device tethered to the phone using android-wifi-tether. I haven't tried any other wifi tether apps, but so long as the above conditions are met I don't see any reason why it won't work.
I'll probably add a server configuration to allow for different sized subnets or the ability to send directly to a certain IP, if people want those options.
Thanks for the feedback everyone
any chance we might see the server running on an iPhone? It should work in a similar way, at least on the Nook Color side...
...and it made some news already...
This is exactly what I was thinking could be done a few weeks ago, but never posted about it. I'm glad someone did it and it works, this is pretty cool.
Hopefully the battery usage is reasonable etc..

Rock on good sir! I cannot wait to try it.....
But sadly, it seems like we must - the Nook (in the market.android.com page) is listed as incompatible. Were you still going to post a client (lite) apk so we can try it out?

The light version is up on the market and at http://www.comptonsoft.com
It includes the full client and a light version of the server that will run for 5 minutes at a time. After it stops its notification will change to "Time limit reached." and stop sending GPS data. You can just re-toggle the widget to start it again.
I'll have a setup/demo video ready in just a bit.

Great vid... just got it(tgps)working... Thanks
Works on the HTC Inspire 4G using hotspot. About an hour drive home with 45% left on the Nook. I would post my vid, but someone put the damn phone upside down in the Rocketfish mobile windshield mount There was no professional involved
Hope I'm not duplicating anything, but there seems to be a lot of BT related questions and none answered in one unified place. Also I think the BT Dev thread should be left to the devs (to keep it easier for them to work on things, rather than help us mere mortals ).
This applies to CM7 (latest nightlies, Tablet Tweak RCs) ONLY (as far as I know).
So, if bluetooth does not turn on, there a few things that you can try.
Do a HARD reset (that is, hold down the power button until the NookColor turns off, then start it back up.
Fix Permissions in ClockworkRecovery:
Boot into CWR (w/SD, load it in. With CWR installed on eMMC, go to ROM Manager > Reboot into Recovery. Alternatively, hold down the power plus "N" button for ~8 seconds (from a shutdown NookColor).
Try both!
An interesting thing to note is some users (myself included) can only start up bluetooth within a pretty short window of time after the NC has booted up. Not sure why timing is important, but could be a factor for those who cannot start up BT after some given time of operation.
I found this tip that may work after a fresh (read: wipe system/data) install, but may also work after flashing a nightly over a nightly.
If you're ready to turn on Bluetooth, there's a trick. If you don't do this, Bluetooth will just refuse to turn on / be enabled.
Turn off wifi (Settings > Wireless & Networks > Wi-Fi)
Reboot
Turn on Bluetooth (Settings > Wireless & Networks > Bluetooth)
Turn on wifi
It seems a bit odd, but that's what you have to do. From then on out it'll work fine.

For a list and description of devices that work with the NC, check this out:
Known functional Bluetooth devices
For tethering data via BT, try android-wifi-tether. While it can be used to create an access point on your phone via wifi, you can also opt to use BT to create the tether. This works well in conjunction with TetherGPS which I use to provide GPS info to the NC from my G1 while using CoPilot Live to show navigation (I don't have data on the G1).

Tried that previously and it did not work for me.
In other words, it works as with all the kernels I've tried (your OC'd and stock kernel): it will start up if I start is quickly, but otherwise not.

me too. I went back to 4/4 since them. If I leave BT on all the time, it is on when I boot, but if I turn off BT and reboot, it won't come on without a hardboot (holding down power.)
Fix permissions is NOT needed, just a hard boot.

For the last few days Ive been trying to get BT working w/ my car stereo, using phiremod 5.3
I have no problems enabling Bluetooth (first time I had to reboot a few times and fix permissions)
With it flat against the stereo, I'm 'paired but not connected' and getting it to actually connect usually takes 4 - 5 tries.
After its connected- when I try to play any kind of music, it gets stuck every few seconds- and stays stuck for more than a few seconds (like 10) and plays again.
I just downloaded this kernel, (wiped caches, fixed permissions again) and it connected on the second time, and only got 'stuck' once for maybe 2 seconds, and played the rest of the song with no problems.
Seems like it changed something on my end...
Just figured I'd mentioned it.
(I can go back to the other kernel, or a different version of cm7, and see if I get the same connecting/ stuttering problem, if you thing it would help)
Btw- thanks so much for sharing all of your hard work!

Never had an issue with the IMEI number, but here's how I got it setup.
Start with the TetherGPS app running server on the phone and client on the NC, as well as tether-wifi from google running on the phone, then connect to the AP on the NC
Next, open/install the app. It should read the GPS data from the phone
Now, switch back to a wireless connection with internet access, download the voice, then enter the serial/etc...
Finally, load the app back up after all the registration stuff 'n things, and use the "internet" connection from the phone to grab the GPS info.
Copied and edited from cm7 user thread.
I have xoom bluetooth keyboard with disconnect issues. Would the special kernel help with this?
From the accessories thread. "I found a work-around. Download the app Bluetooth Keyboard JP, change the settings in settings > Language and Keyboard to that app, then connect the keyboard." Anybody else try this or others? Blue Input is another one. I know of one more but can remember its name.
I'm running Phiremod v5.3 cm7 from emmc and cm7 nightlies from sd card. I usually have a data sd card but can switch it out. I have updated the cm7 sd card before. Not sure which nightly and OC I used last. Could use ClockWorksMod to flash this kernel to Phiremod v5.3. Could replace the kernel, uImage, on the SD card. Usually there are different kernels for emmc and sd card.
Another issue: When I have the keyboard active and playing flash files from the internet, it seems to buffer more. If I move the keyboard out of range or use settings to disconnect the keyboard, the buffering is less and the flash files play better. I have cyfi bluetooth external speakers. When I use them I get the same buffering issue, so I just use an external player through the headphone jack instead.

Apparently the latest version of Copilot has introduced this error. I have spoken with tech support regarding the issue and they told me that they are aware of the problem and will release an update early next week that will fix the problem. Apparently if you have version 8.2.504 it works, but the new version breaks it. The dev won't send me a copy of the old version, so I guess I'll just have to wait and hope.

I don't know if that is a solution, but the problem appears to be a conflict between wifi and bluetooth. Turn off wifi and most of your keyboard problems will go away.
Also there is an app on the market called "Null Keyboard" Which simply turns on a keyboard device that disables everything keyboard related. It doesn't disable bluetooth input, but it gets rid of the long-press pop ups and is suppose to solve other issues as well (including the software keyboard popping up every time you want to type.)
I haven't had time to install it, but it's purchased.
Does anyone know where (on the Nook) the BT chip/antenna is located?
It might help to know, since the range is so limited...

I was just using google voice to text from several feet back. In fact it was hard to read the small print from that distance. I did not realized that keyboards have a larger range then headsets.
Testing Bluetooth Keyboard JP now. Force closes, so just switched to swift keyboard I downloaded from amazon app store for free. To get out swift keyboard and get a null keyboard, I hit the back key on the xoom keyboard, then the virtual swift keyboard no longer shows up.
@chisleu do you have a link or instruction to modify bluetooth keyboards so that keys can have their mappings corrected. Xoom has some correct and some wrong or disabled under CM7.
Couldn't get BT to work at all however powering down while the wifi is off, and turning the bluetooth on before the wifi made it works on the first try. Was streaming Slacker to my stereo in a matter of minutes. Wifi doesn't seem to interfere with the BT audio stream at all, audio sounded crisp and perfect. Range however was still limited to a foot or so.
Hoping there is a possible hardware mod that can hook up an antenna to the BT chip. I'd be in heaven if I had full BT functionality on this beast.
FYI, Although I don't have any RF experience I'm still an electrical engineer so if anyone can toss me a bone on the PCB layout or pinouts of the nook I might be able to try stuff to boost the range.
What is the feasibility of adding dial-up networking client support to CM7? Some folks are able to tether their NC to their phone using an ad hoc wifi network, and others have had success via a Bluetooth personal area network (PAN) using the "pand" utility. Unfortunately, I have a Blackberry phone, and it does not support the PAN profile. It does, however, support dial-up networking (DUN) over Bluetooth (confirmed with a Windows laptop).
According to https://sites.google.com/a/android.com/opensource/projects/bluetooth-faq, "dund" is the client utility that is needed to establish a dial-up connection from Android to another device. When I run this command on the NC, it says "dund: not found". I'm not a developer and don't know how much effort would be involved in adding this functionality to the build. Is it just a matter of including the binaries, or is there additional development work involved?
Thanks in advance..
Hi everyone....
I have a 2011 Jeep Liberty with U connect. It has the 730 navigation system
I can not "pair" my Thunderbolt to u connect so I can use my bluetooth.
I have read thoughout various Jeep forums and it seems that HTC is aware of the problem and they may come out with a software update.
Does anyone on this forum have u connect and is able to connect the Thunderbolt to it...
My wife has a 2 year old phone with bluetooth and hers connects in seconds with no problem.......go figure LOL LOL
It is not because I am rooted....it is ALL thunderbolts....
maybe a dev has a "dodge or Jeep" and can figure out how to use the Thunderbolt's bluetooth with u connect LOL
I've got a 07 Magnum SRT w/ the Uconnect. I occasionally have issues with my T-Bolt and the B.T.
Sometimes it will pair.... and then drop out for no reason. Then I have to delete the pairing from the phone and the Uconnect and re-do the whole process over again.
But, for the most part, I can get it to pair.
If you can get it to pair.. make sure you click the "Don't allow" authorization request when it pops up on your phone. That will break it instantly. Something is messed up when the Uconnect attempts to download your phone book via B.T. I think that is the main issue.

I don't remember the "don't allow" authorization request pop up on my phone....I remember a some sort of pop up "wireless headset" being not able to connect when I am not even using a wireless headset........
I will try later tonight when I get home to delete the Thunderbolt from the u-connect system and start over......I also downloaded a "bluetooth fix app" from the market that states it helps out androind phones connect.....
Also, remember...your system is from 2007...mine is a 2011.(730n RHR).maybe there is different software being used in the systems????
The Thunderbolt and the u connect tell me that they are paired....but on the Thunderbolt it also says "paired but not connected"....
Thank you for the reply!!
UPDATE
I went to the market and downloaded an app call
"Bluetooth Fix Repair"
IT WORKED!!!!! alot of people who have a non rooted Thunderbolt are having problems connecting to u connect...
after I downloaded the app....and applied the "fix" my Thunderbolt connected FAST!!!!
It also downloaded the phonebook and it doesn't seem to have a negative affect on the bluetooth connectivity.
I will use this for a while and let you know if I stay "connected"
Cool. Glad it is working for you so far. It's a PITA having to start over from scratch with the pairing on the UConnect. I have no such issues on my 2011 Ford Focus. It's annoying.
Also, I've no idea what system my Uconnect is. I know its a "low speed canbus" but the radio could be any year as it doesn't belong in my car to begin with.

As some of you know (or not know) with the new 3.0.4 update, a NON-WebOS handset can be tethered via bluetooth to make/recieve calls or send/recieve texts.
Now I've managed to get this working with my desire HD, no overclocking kernels or govnah or any patches installed and it works perfectly. HP touchpad version 3.0.2 works as in the video and 3.0.4 also works for me.

Hi, I have the HTC Inspire which is supposed to be the same as your Desire HD...followed the steps, but still cant get it to work. At one point it did dial one number then erred out. Couldnt get it to dial after that...
I had the same problem with my Inspire. I can send texts from it but can't call. Which really I'm OK with.
I had that issue when i did it the first time, now every time my phone connects, i do it through free tether rather than the in built Bluetooth card....seems to work fine
Inspire is one of the handsets they're having least success with. A useful feature that was a half a**ed attempt.
My advice would be to try again with no patches installed at all....i did that but then again only if you have the patience for it cuz it did start getting on my nerves
So since I've been using tablets since the xoom came out I always wanted to be able to send texts through my tablet but have them send with my phone's number. At first there was syncSMS, which was pretty good but required drop box to sync up messages. Then I started using Text tab which would pair the devices with BT. The app was ok, the interface wasnt that great but it did the job. I just bought Tablet Talk from the market and I have to say I LOVE this app, not only does it give you the option to connect via BT or Wifi(must be on same wifi network) but the interface is much better than text tab. Plus you can control your mobile phone. Meaning, if you want to call someone it has a dialer and when you dial from your tab it will place the call on your handset, you can even activate speakerphone on your mobile phone. Granted you need to have your phone close for the calling stuff and I am wondering if you connect the two via BT if you can actually use your tab to talk(I havent tested on BT yet) but I think it's still pretty neat. And when you get a call it displays the caller id number on your tab so no more having to pull the phone out of your pocket to see who's calling.
I have been using it over wifi since last night and havent even seen it eat much battery at all and I left it running all night. Anyway, I would HIGHLY recommend this app... It's the best Tab/Phone SMS app I've seen so far
ok so no audio routing when connected via BT, but it's still a pretty cool feature
When I get a call it shows me who is calling on my tab, and also rings on the tab. You can answer the call from the tab but it activates the handset, but as I said in the OP from the tab you can also activate the speakerphone on your phone

it routes the audio as well?
edit: My bad... that's the app I have.. lol I dont know why I thought it was Tablet Text. I dont see a way to route the audio though. It just activates the call on the phone
Is there a way for it to recognize the hotspot app on your phone as the wifi network? I have the hotspot on my phone enabled..but it still ask me to connect to a wifi network.
Have you tried the Sidecar app? It is available in the Play market.

hmm not sure.. I havent tried.. but why not just connect via bluetooth?
I haven't tested it extensively, but it definitely looks like a good app. I will be testing it more once I start making progress on installing the tablet in the car.
I bought it the other day and wished I did the trial first. It does work well, but my phone seems to disconnect often from Bluetooth. So then I have to manually turn the screen on and reconnect.
Guess I need to fool with the settings on my phone some more. It's very useful, except for this little quirk I'm having.

hmm that's odd. Email the dev, I emailed him a couple of questions and he replied pretty quickly. The first time within hours of my email, the 2nd one a day or two after.
It seems to be an ics issue on the Evo 3D leaks. All of them have this issue for me. That's why I think I need to play around in my wifi settings a bit. Thanks for the suggestion though
