Ello XDA, got a problem I'd like to put out there, My S4 screen broken until i can afford new one I acquired a gear S to play with. Tried odin but there don't seem to be any pre-made OS available for install. (essentially bypassing pairing) As you know Gear S requires Bluetooth pairing can be used as a standalone device only . So I thought ok I get an emulator tried bluestacks and Andy they use way too much PC power so swapped to Droid4x 0.10 managed to get a compatible gear S app working on the emulator. Purchased a mini USB bluetooth adaptor and although took an hr found drivers for windows 10. I know the bluetooth device is working as red light flashes when bluetooth w10 settings is running a scan . so i put my gear S to visible mode and my PC to visible mode and nothing happens. it just sits there on a scanning loop like it just can't find the watch at all.
I know you lot may say just get ya screen fixed download Samsung Gear S app problem solved however I do like a challenge a work around incase ya phone does break and you no longer can use your watch So any of you successfully managed this or am I at a lost cause Thanks

Hey guys, after searching long and hard on the net I still couldn't find an anwser to this problem :
I have an MSI Windpad Enjoy 7 Tab that I used to to connect to an ELM327 OBDII bluetooth dongle for car diagnostics (torque app).
After upgrading from froyo to gingerbread, my tablet bluetooth doesn't detect the elm327 anymore, it also doesn't detect my car kit but it still detects other android phones perfectly well.
I know it's not a hardware problem or incompatibility since I already paired that device to this tablet before, it's a scan problem.
So here's my question: is there a way to "force feed" the bluetooth address of a device into android so it doesn't have to rely on a scan to find it?
Try Bluetooth File Transfer from GP
From GP? what's that?

GP = Google Play
I have attached the file transfer apk in attachments download it and let me know if it works
Thank you but that still doesn't work.
Sometimes when I put the tablet really close to the bluetooth device, it detects it and shows it as a mac address in the list, it doesn't have time to receive its ID before scan stops.. and then pairing doesn't work since it doesn't know what type of device it is...
Any suggestions guys? after searching on the forum, this appears to be the same problem samsung galaxy S users had when first upgrading to gingerbread...
Yeah mine did the same thing. Had to buy a new one

Hi,
I have a Galaxy S3 LTE with StockROM and it's not rooted. I am not allowed to unlock it.
I know that something around BT has changed with the Upgrade to 4.2 or 4.3.
My BT game-pad IPEGA PG-9017 and my mini BT keyboard don't work anymore. I could pair booth but I don't get any reaction on the phone.
I still could connect the S3 with my cars radio via BT and it works. But before I also could use the radios controls to skip forth and back on the phone/spotify. Now I have to do it on the phone.
Now I bought Samsungs Gamepad EI-GP20. I could pair it but I can't get it to run. I don't know it EI-GP20 is a normal game-pad. But when I paired it with another smartphone and I immediately saw that the phone reacts to it.
To get my IPEGA to run I read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033780 . I installed BlueIMEZ and another APK which name I forgot. I didn't help.
I have the feeling that BT settings or IMEs are screwed up.
Is there anything I could do or check without having root? Does anyone have an idea what I might overlook?
note: Samsung screwed up the update for the S3
I'm a little lost. Been trying to get this thing working and Nada. I can connect for a short few seconds. Then it disconnects. From all the videos I've seen, drivers install. But not here. It says Galaxy S5. But no driver pop up. I've uninstalled and reinstalled drivers. Still nothing. I've installed the newest Bluetooth drivers for My Dell PC and still. What's going on? Any ideas
Anyone?

What are you trying to do exactly? Mine connects and works great. It will only connect when it needs to for instance, when sending or receiving a file. It won't stay connected constantly. It's not like a Bluetooth speaker or anything.

once 8.1 hit millions of bluetooth drivers were damaged. its an obvious common problem but some say they have fixed it by installing drivers. i have the latest drivers from dell... for some reason drivers never installed on my pc for the S5. it was just there. it happened so fast. i did pair it without internet at first. but since have uninstalled an attempted to re connect so drivers will reinstall. im on the verge of picking up an external bluetooth dongle to try it out.

Hmm never knew that, I will try it out on my computer and see if it works. I do have an external dongle I can try too.
I do know that the windows drivers for the external dongles never works right so you have to download the newest from broadcom. But I lost mine so I can't try it now with Windows 8.1. Things like headphones wouldn't work without. I'm not sure if its lack of proper drivers for My Bluetooth on my Dell with Windows 8.1. Trying to find someone with an external to try. I use that every day in my car since my head unit is a dell computer.

So I think I figured it out.
It is NOT your computer. It is the phone. Either Samsung or T-Mobile tampered with the bluetooth services it is capable of. Meaning, if you try to use your phone for Bluetooth tethering, you will notice its not an option. This is because inside the /system/lib/hw folder, one of the lib files that controls Bluetooth communications with the hardware is telling other devices that is connected that only Contact Syncing and File Transfer services are available. I would attempt to flash an AOSP ROM, and check if you get any better results. If so, I may be able to hack the lib file to allow us to use more services. I remember I did this on the S4 to allow Bluetooth tethering so I hope its as easy for other services. I just need something to compare so if It works on AOSP I can compare with the lib file from there.
I do need to update the phone. Just so happy I got tethering without T-Mobile s bs telling me how much I can use. Don't wanna mess up lol.
Flashed the xtralite ROM .. Still have issues
I bought a new Bluetooth dongle. Damn 20 dollar dongle. Well it works. Not completely. Its missing the hands free portion.

Which ROM is this on?
Sent from my SM-G900T using Tapatalk
I'm currently using the ... What is it called. Its the slimmed down ROM. Like 500mb download size and you can install what addons you wish. Before I don't know what I was on. J don't really change roms a lot if its working flawless. The new cheap dongle i just got is working fine. Enough... Lol BT stereo works nice most of the time and will bring up a media player looking window with track info even using things like I heart radio. Hands free works but I don't have an on screen dialer. Have to initiate the call with the phone. Unless I'm missing a program I could use.
Hello! First sorry for my poor language.
Polish android forums can tell me only stupid ideas, these people can't use brains.
I want to open discussion about mounting smartphone with Android to car. Important things: considered connect charger(i have car electric items and idea how to connect and hide wiring), make car recorder(AutoGuard app), make audio source(bluetooth connected for car radio - without wiring), sometimes use Torque app(i have OBD 2 mini ELM adapter).
I have some old phone - Samsung SM-G350. Car is passat b5, but its not important.
My samsung is rooted, have cyanogenmod 11 on android 4.4.4. I'm searching ideas for reaction in my telephone when i turn on my engine. For example - if i turn engine on, car charger is working and callphone battery is loading. I want to in this moment run AutoGuard and start recording, or screen is displaying always and is unlocked.
Have some ideas? Maybe change android files? Some scripts? Help me, i need to good advices.
You need the Android Auto for that, old cars don't usually have it.
To have something mounted, your best option is to get an Android Auto receiver, but you'll have to do the research with your car info and stuff like that. You could also just get a simple phone mount for pretty cheap on an online store like Amazon.
With Tasker, possibly, you might be able to use that root capability to its potential by setting up some automation stuff that opens apps once the phone detects power input (once it is plugged in).
Android Auto is a good option, but I don't think that it runs on Android 4.4.4. You'll have to get something newer.
(I also just realized that this is a really old thread that people are responding to now. )
I can't get Android Auto or Mirror Link to work on my Skoda Kodiaq, it's not the car as all other phones work with it. I have tried using the stock cable and other cables, when i connect it, the car recognises something is connected and the phone asks me what to do with the USB connection (charge only, transfer files or photos) and i've tried all of them. The car eventually gives up and says the phone is not compatible, something i used to get with my OnePlus 3t as it didn't support Mirror Link but it would work instantly on Android Auto.
I have read online that there were issues with Android Auto on previous phone models but the manufacturer were looking to get this fixed in this phone. If it was a cheap phone i'd probably just leave it, as i did with Mirror Link on the OnePlus, but for a phone they are pushing at a crazy price and saying is premium, they have work to do. Has anyone figured out any fixes for this, or managed to get it to work on their car?
I've got the same problem with my huawei mate 20 pro and Dynavin 7 ce in Tuareg.
Very annoying thing. Any solution someone?
I have a 4 week old T-Roc and Android Auto works fine on mine, I can't quite remember what options I had to allow on the phone but it didn't work straight out the box but works fine now with Google Maps, Waze and Spotify.
There was a bug with some cars and newer android versions. I have to enable USB debugging on my phone for android auto to work. Can't explain why.
Ive been using it for a few days and have no issues with Google map, listening to music or making calls or sending texts using voice.
Does anyone know how to stop it asking what you want to do everytime you plug in the usb in the car? Very annoying.
