BLUEOOTH FOR THE XDAIIi - General Topics

Hi,
Please can anyone advise me whether there is a new version of Bluetooth for the XDA IIi; my current version is BT-PPC/PE version 1.0.0 Build3900. Also is this version mono or stereo compatible? I am considering purchasing Bluetooth headphones but have been advised that the sound quality may only be in mono!
Many thanks

[Q] Samsung SGH-T959V and compatible Bluetooth receivers for car audio?

As subject indicates, I have a Samsung SGH-T959V. I'm running T-Mobile Gingerbread 2.3.6 (stock) that was released in November 2011.
I'm in the market for a Bluetooth receiver for the car but as of this moment I've found *zero* Bluetooth receivers that list the SGH-T959V in their compatibility lists. I've looked at Sony (e.g. MEX-BT2900), JVC/Kenwood, Alpine, and so forth, and not a single one of these Bluetooth receivers list the SGH-T959V! What?!
Also, I'm looking for a Bluetooth receiver that costs no more than $250. I don't want/need something super awesome/super expensive, just a receiver that supports both sending audio and handling calls via Bluetooth. If the SGH-T959V is supported by one of the more expensive receivers I'd be interested to know about it but probably wouldn't buy. ;-)
Looking at the (listed) spec for Bluetooth on both the SGH-T959V and on all of the receivers I've mentioned I don't see why the SGH-T959V wouldn't be compatible but I'd rather not spend a couple hundred dollars on a Bluetooth receiver only to use it for its aux port (which I already have in the existing factory-installed radio).
Would love to hear recommendations about what's worked for you and your experiences!
Hi
Maybe I misunderstood you, but
all new phones support BT EDR 2.1 DSP. The exact model should not be listed on BT device, rather the technology standard should be specified on phone spec. I personally use 3 different receivers with T959V and they all work flawlessly.

Thanks for your response!
You are correct that the technology standard is specified on both the phone and the receiver and they DO match up. What bugs me is that Sony (for example) also provides a compatibility chart and the SGH-T959V does not appear on it. :-(
Which receiver(s) do you use in your car?
I ended up testing on a Sony M series and it worked great. Just had to calibrate the bt first. Phone and Google Music via bt were both good as were controls on head unit.

AptX support?

I found a thread on the OnePlus forums that states there is no mention of aptX support for the One. I know that has something to do with Bluetooth streaming but that's pretty much all I know. Does this mean the OPO may not be able to stream music via Bluetooth in my car? Is it more dependent on my car's hardware? (I've got a 2011 Hyundai Sonata, for the record, and I've tried to google it with no success.) If it can't, even at $350, I'll have to pass. That's a non-negotiable for me. Can someone with more knowledge on the subject please chime in? Thanks.

Aptx is a new codec for Bluetooth audio. Most devices don't even support it right now. As long as as A2DP and AVRCP are supported you should be fine. I don't think cm supports aptx but aptx isn't related to whether or not you can steam music in your car.

Yeah. Probably even your sonata sound system doesn't support aptx codec.
A bit more info.

I would be curious though if the oneplus one supports aptx. I'm thinking probably not.

According to the Oneplus Forums it doesn't. However my 3 year old HTC One X does, so APTX definitely isn't that new.
This is going to make me rethink about whether I actually want this phone or not....
Google isn't bringing up any recent information on this topic here, other than a general consensus that the opo *probably* doesn't have aptx. But some mentions that it might be add able? Any ideas on this? Or further information that my Google-fu missed?
I didn't really care before, but I've got a high end Bluetooth speaker coming in the mail, it supports aptx, and so I'm curious thanks all!

My friend has the same exact car as you and my OnePlus One running CM12 nightlies works perfectly fine via bluetooth. This includes streaming music and answering calls for me.

That's pretty cool! Yeah the Bluetooth should work fine for most things, but what's being discussed now is higher quality Bluetooth, a special codec called 'aptx'. Bluetooth should work fine without it, but just standard quality only.
To clarify things Herr.
Aptx is a propyitary codec by CSR. BT devices supporting aptx also work without.
However Theres a major difference in audio lag and quality.
Aptx is way supirrior over regular BT IF your sound device is good enought or you wanna watch movies.
On cheap speakers you probably won't hear much difference. On high end headphones you will never go back to regular BT once you had aptx.
That said only a handful of manufacturer support it. Also cyanogen doesn't.
Its not only software but also hardware.
BTW its not just a codec running over the a2dp its a replacement of a2dp
It has almost not lag so watching movies sint a pia and the lowlatency aptx variant has practically no lag
Aptx was initially for pro. BT devices like wireless mics and monitor phones on a production level (studio, concert ...) and sadly there's no alternative right now even close to its performance

Generally it's implemented in software on the phone (or PC) and hardware in the receiver (headphones, car, etc.) really depends on the processing power available on either end. With that in mind it is technically feasible to deploy support to existing phone, it just needs to be licensed and coded into the platform.
There seems to be aptX working on Oneplus One but you have to use Lineage 14

Bluetooth Questions

Hi,
I have a Jabra device in my car. The One won't pair with it for some reason.
Any ideas or is it just not compatible with the One???

PIONEER AVIC F700BT How To Stream Music

http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/GPS-Navigation/AVIC-F700BT
Hi Guys,
I've had this In-Dash Navigation for several years now and back then, almost everything was only compatible with iOS. Now that I own a nexus5, the only way I can play music is through AUX cable. Does anyone out there own this In-Dash Navitation and know of a way to stream or play music with any Android phone?
I know this is way off topic but it's been driving me nuts and the XDA community is awesome and knowledgeable.
Thank you,
You can use bluetooth can't you?

Bluetooth only works to make and receive calls. I was thinking if there was a way to Mod the unit.

I have the Pioneer AVIC-X910BT, pretty much similar to yours.
It's not a "clean" looking option, but I have a Sony Ericsson MW600 Bluetooth adapter, and a short male to male headphone audio cable. Here is a link to the item I am using:

Compatible BT handsfree?

Hello, I would like to ask experience users what will be a good choice if I want to buy a in-ear BT handsfree?
Something usable and first of all compatible with JS3A (for now I'm running at Nougat by M.A.D. Team).
Many thanks for any possible feedback.
