Hello,
I am looking for handsfree type software for Android 2.3.x that would allow to
make calls using other android/wm/symbian e.t.c. devices over bluetooth.
Something similar (in terms of functionality) to hardware bluetooth handsfree devices very common nowdays for your car.
I've done quite a deep search over internet - but found only similar type of
requests - but no solutions...
The only thing found that might be of some help here is Linux HFP project: Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile server for linux... But ... is there a w2ay to port this application to Android platform ?
Or probably I was unable to find solution that already exist for Android - in that case please share your knowledge.
Thank you beforehand !

Does Android 4.1 allow a device to serve as a Hands-Free Profile (HFP) device? Similar to the way many newer cars come with integrated Bluetooth/HFP, I would like to use my tablet (Nexus 7) as a front-end for my phone. When an incoming call comes in, the phone should relay the call over Bluetooth to the tablet; it should also allow the tablet to make outgoing calls via Bluetooth over the phone's network.
Please note that I am not interested in solutions such as GrooveIP, Talkatone, and SIPDroid. I am specifically looking for Bluetooth HFP.
I've done quite a bit of searching but have not seen an app that does this. I wouldn't mind looking into developing such a product - but I first wanted to know if the HSP 1.6 host API was available in Android 4.1. I've seen resources stating it was available in ICS 4.0, but I believe this is to allow Android devices to connect to third-party HSP devices - I'm looking to do the opposite (i.e. have the Android device serve as the HSP host).
i am also curious about this.

For those of us that plans to install a Android tablet in the car for music etc. this would be tha last part to make it a complete in-car device.
I am another curious one about this. The only devices I know of for sure that can do this are the 3.6 and 4.2 samsung galaxy players. Unfortunately, I have the 4.0 galaxy player, that doesn't support it. The galaxy players run gb, not jb, btw.

From what I can gather:
* Bluetooth defines HFP to have two roles: the Audio Gateway (AG) role and the Hands-Free (HF) role.
* Android doesn't natively support the HF role.
I too am interested in exactly what you are describing -- would like to use a tablet as the infotainment hub of a vehicle. I would happy to be a part of or organize a bounty to support development of such a capability in CM10.

Someone custom-implemented the needed Bluetooth role
Looks like some Android device has custom implementations of both A2DP sink role and hands free unit role. I can't post links yet. Google this:

any leads if this is available on android yet? (Hands free profile)
There's some development about this but I'm not sure it's possible yet.
have a look at the links here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions...a-receiver-for-a2dp-profile/28892944#28892944
I want, too
to use android device as hands free
Hello all,
I'm after a little bit of guidance on how I might add Bluetooth support to an Android powered Car stereo. It is a "Road Veles" single DIN WinCE and Android device with a 7" flip out screen. The reason I bought this stereo is to run an app by the name of MSDroid. This app was to connect to my vehicle's engine management system via Bluetooth.
Can't post links yet, easy search on Google for Road Veles, look for hit on Chinavasion
The specs say it has Bluetooth, but having tested the device out on the work bench what the specs don't say is that the bluetooth is only accessible for handsfree from WinCE, there is no bluetooth for Android. WiFi via USB dongle works great. I have purchased but not yet received a combined WiFi and Bluetooth dongle. I would very much like to have this combined dongle work with the device. The Bluetooth control is not visible under WiFi control inside settings like it is in my Android phone.
Can anybody point me in the direction of where to start with this? Can I root the device and mod to add bluetooth? Is there another ROM I could run? I have done a lot of searching but can't see much at all out in internet land on this stereo!
Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance,
Arran
Hi, I'm not sure how these sort of things usually work, what sort of dollar value would usually be associated with making a some tweaks to an Android build? ...
Hi again, still looking into this. Any ideas how to tweak the Android 4.0.4 OS to make bluetooth appear inside the settings menu?
Could someone tell me why its impossible to find a universal Bluetooth patch for EXTERNAL usb Bluetooth dongles? One that will add the full Bluetooth feature to the devices "born" without build-in Bluetooth.
We are so many that bought these Android tablets thinking that we could just plug in a Bluetooth usb dongle - for why would that feature be missing in Android, bluetooth has been around for so many years even before anyone thought of android.
So why is this left out of the kernel, it should be as basic as Wi-Fi?
Come on XDA developers - make a universal driver, then get people to test it and add their devices to the list of working.
Doesn't bluetooth work in linux? And isn't Android based on linux?
So why is it so hard to make the driver/patch?
Or is it simply that most developers think that bluetooth is obsolete - So never mind?
With kind regards

Hello,
Install the tablet in the car, I wanted to use it as an HFP.
Is there any application that supports Bluetooth talks, between your tablet and mobile phone.
I tried TabletTalk application but it only shows notifications about incoming call.
I searched everywhere to no avail solution.
Such a solution is in 2din car audio system based on android.
I do not know how it's made in china radio.
He may use a bluetooth dongle otg HFP?
The following recording, you can see this function from 1: 50min.

Hello,
I have rooted my infotainment system in my Honda Civic according to this forum post successfully.
I installed the Torque Pro app which connects to the a Bluetooth ODB-II reader. I verified that it was working using my OnePlus 2 phone and that there were no issues pairing. However, the car infotainment system seems to only display Phones when scanning for devices. It does not detect the reader or my laptop when in discoverable mode.
I took a peak inside the /etc/bluetooth/main.conf file and it seems that it contains entries to whitelist only certain kinds of devices. However, following the comments replacing the values 0xFFFFFF does nothing. I don't think the file is even being read because if I change the device name "HandsFreeLink" to something else, it doesn't actually change.
My suspicion has something to do with the Android version that it is running and the bluetooth stack. It is running Android 4.2.2, and since Jelly Bean, the Bluez stack was replaced with Bluedroid. However, I can't tell what Bluetooth stack is actually running because of some contradictory things:
- /etc/bluetooth/main.conf is there (though it seems to be ignored)
- /data/misc/bluetooth is empty
- /data/misc/bluetoothd has a folder with the device MAC address. Looking into the files, they have lists of already paired devices, etc. (isn't this Bluez that creates these?)
- /data/misc/bluedroid does not exist
I also tried using a separate app to do the pairing, perhaps the UI was hiding other devices. Nope, only phones are being shown.
Where else should I look for Bluetooth configuration? Is there anything I can do, or is this likely something deeply ingrained whenever Honda rewrote part of the bluetooth stack for their car...
Thanks,
cdahmedeh
I'm looking for the same thing but my data/misc/Bluetooth is not empty, I have two HCI folders. I'm trying to get any command that use bluetooth like hciconfig but I cannot get it
Have you guys found a way to pair other bluetooth devices? Its really seems that only phones are visible. Please share if you guys found a solution. Thanks!
I may have found a fix. Not sure how helpful this is but there is a customizable ECU for honda vehicles called Hondata. Normally it just allows you to flash you car ECU to gain more HP but since honda started using android on their headunits, it opened up doors for your car to display ECU info and communicate easier with other bluetooth devices. In this video tutorial, it showed how to root the headunit, install custom apps, and also find other bluetooth devices. They show you for their own purposes of connecting their device but im sure it will allow any bluetooth device.
