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Or is it simply that most developers think that bluetooth is obsolete - So never mind?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

Hi Everyone,
Just to ask this question regarding Bluetooth functions on phones mostly on android. Has anyone knows an android phone which has a functional multi-point Bluetooth capability?
As i know only headsets can do multi-point to connect multiple phones at the same time, but not i heard of on phones.
This has been brought into asking since i was unable to connect on both bluetooth (blueant q1) headset and my live-view. It's only connecting on one device and then the other one will be disconnected.
----------
Knowing that this could use more power if this feature has been created, but can be made to be disabled as part of power saving settings.
I hope someone from the dev team can take a look at this functionality as this can be a great feature if enabled on android phones.
This could also mean modifying the bluetooth stack for this to enabled, but it seems to be a worthy one to be tried.
Thanks!
Hmmm.... seems no one is interested =(
There may be device or rom specific answers to this question, but I wanted to know if there was support for USB infrared receivers built into stock Android, possibly at Kernel level?
The context is that I have a USB IR receiver that I've used in Windows for XBMC that I've tried connecting to two of my Android devices (Galaxy Nexus and Nexus Q) via a USB OTG cable and pointing my remote at it doesn't seem to automatically work like a Bluetooth remote does, but it could be that it's receiving the IR commands and I need an android app to convert the IR signals into something Android understands.
Anyone have any information about this?
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?
Hi Everyone, I'm new here - just made an account because I cannot figure this problem out. I just started playing around with Xposed and I LOVE it by the way! but unfortunately that's not why I'm here. I have a Headrush bluetooth headset, it's great, has a built in mic, a2dp & works for calls even on a old ipod touch 4th gen for some reason though, my Lenovo a-5500f a8 ideatab running android 4.4.2 won't read the mic, I only have the media option, no call option.
I don't know what to do. there's like nothing at all on this, I read ONE forum that someone was experiencing my problem, and the only answer was that it's most likely because it's a WiFi tablet & wasn't meant to make phone calls on. I love my tablet & my headphones & would really be blown away if I could find a solution to this. I'm good with Linux & Windows, just learning Android stuff & it's really similar to Linux so it's not too far off, but I'm so clueless on this..
So an overview: my tablet won't detect the mic/phone call protocol for this headset, the headset works 100% on all other devices except for my new tablet.. I also have a few USB OTG's, is it possible I could perhaps run another bluetooth through a OTG? SixAxis works great, I can connect a controller, but not this mic..
any brainstorming to this helps, thank you.

Hopefully this is a simple yes it will or no it won't do it type of question
I want to make use of my Touchpad in my Camper Van specifically to connect it to a couple of battery monitors via Bluetooth e.g. to a Ctek 'battery sense' monitor
I think the monitors use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE)
To date I have not had any success I have tried Nougat and Oreo they connect fine via Bluetooth to my phone so I know 'proper' bluetooth works' but not to these two BLE devices
I have not tried KitKat yet
Should it work if so which rom should I try?
Thanks

In my opinion this is not a question of the ROMs available for the HP Touchpad (at least not only). The main thing is, that the HP Touchpad is from 2011 and it's bluetooth specification is BT 2.1. That means, it supports bluetooth EDR in the best case, but no BLE because for bluetooth BLE you need newer chipsets. Bluetooth BLE have versions of 4.x, not 2.x.
