Hi,
I don't know too much about bluetooth, but I guess I assumed that these things were usually backward compatible. I bought a Samsung HM1100 bluetooth headphone which is BT 2.0 for use on my Palm Centro (don't laugh; it's ancient, but I like it) and for Skype on my SGP 4.0. Paired right away with my Palm, but my SGP can't see it. I see in the documentation that the SGP has BT 3.0, but - as I said - I thought that that would also work with 2.0 (also seeing that they are both Samsung products). Does anyone know if the SGP can not use BT 2.0 devices? If it can, any ideas about what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks.
I use a LG HBS-700 which is BT 2.1 just fine with my SGP 4.0 and honestly I can't see why your pairing wouldn't work.

From what Wikipedia says BT 3.0 is just higher data transfer which probably has nothing to do with low transfer rate devices like headsets. Anyway, I can confirm that the Galaxy Player 4.0 can use BT 2.1 so...I guess check your manual and make sure that you are properly pairing the devices. Obviously you've gotten it to work with your Palm, so the same procedure should work with the Samsung. Why isn't it? Meh, Android can be flaky sometimes. Every so often my headset won't show up so I just power it off then on again and I'm good to go.
Sorry, that's the best I can think of.
Hi-
I have a zt-102, running android 4. As it doesn't come with integrated bluetooth, I would like to buy a BT dongle for it so I can use BT accessories with it.
Any ideas which BT dongles would work with this hardware?

i have the i605 note 2 from verizon. i have installed in my truck a pioneer indash stereo avh-x7500bt. i love phones and car audio and im trying to find a way to merge both of them together. i woould love to play the movies, music viedos and files that i have on my stereo and screens. i have bought hml adapters for the phone that have an hdmi output and another adapter for hdmi to components but it doesnt seem to work. i dont know if im missing something or if i need to do something else. any ideas would be great so i can figure out how to do this. thanks in advance.
unable as well.
I could not get it to work after I upgraded from kitkat to lollipop.
I am looking for a patch. My ipad, ironically, still works. So does my girlfriend's phone which doesn't run lollipop.
Hope this helps.
I have Android jelly bean 4.2 Phone samsung galaxy mega 5.8- I 9152. I have Hyundai Fludic verna Car. i would like to upgrade car audio system with pioneer. i would like to make use of samsung phone with car dvd to listen music and mainly for GPS navigation. Please inform me which model of pioneer i should buy and what software i should install in my phone. Is Pioneer facility AppRadio will work to connect my android phone and pioneer dvd for navigation?
I have a Pioneer F950 with Sat Nav but have not yet got it to work with the Mega, Pioneers instructions for Android are pretty poor I have to say. The Pioneer is great though even if I never get it to work with the phone.
i need a replacement for my jaybird x2 but dont want to get the X3 now that bluetooth 5.0 is available. Or does anyone know of a good headset that will be release soon with bluetooth 5.0?
is it because your x2 doesn't work with the S8 ? because it doesn't work with mine either .

it works fine just the battery is getting old. and itll be nice to have more range with 5.0
I am also wondering if there are any Bluetooth 5.0 headphones anywhere yet. I can't find anything.
Also looking for BT 5.0. Still using the original Bluebuds x ! Battery only lasts me about 4 hours.
This is driving me nuts--there are some pretty legit reasons for wanting BT 5.0 headphones, and I don't really want to buy a replacement pair that DOESN'T have BT 5.0 because that'd be silly now that my phone supports it . . . blech. There has to be someone out there making them, right?
I searched pretty hard online this weekend and found NOTHING, not even articles/teasers of soon to be released 5.0 headsets.
I'm turning up similar amounts of nothing at all. One wonders why Samsung wouldn't be more interested in playing this up as a feature and thus driving stories about it. Maybe they're too focused on the AKG earbuds they're bundling with the phone, and the fact that the s8 has a headphone jack and the iPhone doesn't? That's my best guess . . .
BT 5.0 is pretty new. The S8 is pretty much the first phone to have it, and I believe it will take a few months until we see some better quality BT5.0 headphones on the market.
But no one's announced plans at all??? Finding the same nothing others are finding - and the silence is deafening.
FYI, X2 and X3 work just fine with the S8 and S8+.
I guess I will continue to wait. I actually really like my BT headphones, sound/battery wise, but they tend to cut out when my phone is in my pocket and I turn my head, which is just annoying.
The biggest issue with making devices that are BT 5.0 is that there is no backwards compatibility. So a set of headphones with 5.0 would not work on a device(Phone, tablet, computer,etc) that didn't come Bluetooth 5.0 capable. Sure they could add BT 4.2 to it, but that would require an additional bt radio. Increasing price and size
My Plantronics edge batteries are about shot. I'd love to buy another Plantronics edge like headset but I'll try to wait BT 5.0. Even if I weren't waiting for BT 5.0 I wouldn't buy another on the chance I'd buy a new headset that has been sitting around for 3 years.

Do you have source on this? I havent seen any articles that says it's not backward compatible. If this is true then it could be a while until any manufactures will release new headsets with 5.0 if the only device currently that can use it is the S8.
I'm not sure why you'd think they weren't backwards compatible. I've gone through every previous generation of BT and to the best of my recollection if you use a newer gen with older gen the only issue is you don't get all the benefits of the new gen but they certainly communicated with each other.

Look at the Bluetooth website. Or any other website talking about the technical specs. After I did research I tried looking up any devices that are 5.0, besides just headphones and sadly couldn't find any. 5.0 will be phenomenal, just gonna be a bit before it's implemented widespread sadly

Will Bluetooth 5.0 devices be
backward compatible with
current Bluetooth devices in
the marketplace?
Devices implementing only the
low energy feature of Bluetooth
5 will be backward compatible
with Bluetooth 4.2, 4.1 and 4.0
devices that also implement the
low energy feature.
Devices implementing the Basic
Rate/Enhanced Data Rate (BR/
EDR) Core Configuration will
be backward compatible with
all adopted Bluetooth Core
Specification versions beginning
with 1.1 that also implement
Bluetooth BR/EDR.
From the Bluetooth FAQ.
I can connect three S5 to my Bluetooth speaker that isn't 5 just fine. As well as transfer files fine.

I think you're mixing up what I'm saying. The s5 doesn't have bt5. But receiving devices that have bt5 are not backwards compatible with transmitting devices that aren't bt5. Majority of devices that transmit (phones, tablets, etc) will have bt5 and down installed in them, such as the S8, because doing that is simple. As a receiver has to implement all the things that come with higher BT qualifications and standards. Broadcasting BT is much more simple and convenient than having to receive everything connected to that signal.
I'm just relaying information from the bt5 specs though. I have not tested any of this in real world applications
That was a typo, I meant S8. Swype keeps using my old dictionary.
Here is the link I'm referring to as the FAQ:
