Hi folks:
I wanted to gather experience on Bluetooth on the XDA II. How well does it work? Impressions with the Jabra headset seem to be mixed according to one of our forums.
But what about other BT devices? What have you tried and how well has it worked?
Thanks in advance,
Fernando
Do a look through this forum but
It doesn't work currently with a BT GPS device (Emtac or TomTom)
There are a couple of others it doesn't work with as well...
From southern china(but Japanese :lol: )
The bluetooth can get connection of GPRS through the another B/T phone
such like a Sonny Ericson T610<<But for what? :idea:
Also can be received files like pictures, wav files, and etc from B/T phone
or B/T PDA.-----but stil can't find how to send from Xda ll to them
Tried to Xdall as external modem for Note PC through the B/T, but still not
be successfull.
How did you get it to receive files from other bluetooth devices?
file to Xdao2ll from device
very simple,turned on the bluetooth both of xdao2ll & the device which is about to sent out file, and use the command "sent by b/t" or some like similor command or menu on the device.
and select the name of bonded xdao2ll. after second,xdao2ll will show u the dialogue such like "xxx is sending files, do u accept?" (forget exact sentence...)
just u accept it. you can find sent file in xdao2ll. u must compliete bonding(pairing) between xdao2ll that device before do that.
Battery life
I use a Belkin dongle and use ActiveSync to give me a way to browse the Internet around my house. Works quite well, but the battery life is apalling. It's just gone down 3% in the time I've been writing this message!
Anybody know if the Bluetooth implementation is flawed as regards switching between class I, classII and class III power levels? It feels like the XDA is using 100mW when it should be using 1mW.
What does Beam on these Kaisers do I have it on mine and Have no idea what this feature is,
thx in advance
It's supposed to be for IRDA transfers, but without an IRDA port in the Kaiser I think it's now used for 'beaming' files to another device via Bluetooth.
Having it on enables other devices to send data to your phone thru bluetooth,try turning on your bluetooth and sending something to your device with the beam function off,you can't,no wonder it was called "Beam receive" in the past.
Thanks guy very helpful, I always wondered lol
It's just for to allow receiving of incoming bluetooth transfer, but I miss the IR port, remember those universal remote control software we used to be able to install.
Hey, I have a Motorola Q9h and I'm using it to connect my laptop to the internet.
Currently I am using the Internet Connection Sharing program "IntShrUI.exe" and connect via USB. Now I heard that it was possible to use a Bluetooth PAN instead of the USB cable. The only problem is that the "Bluetooth PAN" option doesn't show up in IntShrUI.exe
I searched through a lot of forums and read many threads but didn't find any answers. Only some more people asking about that issue
baimo- you were right on. Got it up and running with my laptop. The only thing I noticed that a USB was the only option to tether. Didn't see a Bluetooth connection option. But regardless, good to go. Thanks.

Recently I had this problem. My friend was able to download
files from my device ( Omnia 2 WM 6.5 ) to his HTC device
using the blue tooth. It was not intentional but it happened
when he tried to connect his phone to mine using the
BT connection.
Is there any special program that can prevent such things
from happening..or rather allow the owner of the phone to
have control over his device, while sending or receiving
files by BT.
Thank you.
Welcome to forums
What about using in no discoverable mode?

That function just allow you to make your fone visible or not.
It gives you no control on what is allowed to be sent out..
or am I mistaken ?.

Hi,
Since a few days im a proud owner of a HTC desire.
On this device i am trying to connect my bluetooth OBD2 car diagnose device.
Unfortunatly i cannot get it working.
What i did was search for the device in bluetooth settings, pair it with the phone (The bluetooth device says paired, but disconnected), and change the settings in the obd2 app to make sure it uses the device ( i tried torque and obd2 reader). This will result in the following bluetooth error :
1270932653682 **** OBD Comms thread starting ****
1270932653682 **** Connecting to OBD via bluetooth ****
1270932653686 **** Connecting to OBD via bluetooth (1) ****
1270932654262 *** EXCEPTION:Service discovery failed ***

The previous phone i had was a touch pro 2 running Windows mobile. I managed to use the diagnose device on this phone for a while without any issues.
What i am thinking is that i maybe miss out on a step on the android phone to get it working. This is because on my windows mobile phone i had to setup a serial port first. Could this be different in android, or am i doing something wrong?
Any help is welcome!
Anyone with ideas ?
Thanks alot!
do you need the software on the phone to run the obd2 connector? do they have that software available or is it just for data logging? the connection is there but there is no software calling for the data connection.
good luck. hopefully. the manufacturer developes or ports their software to Android
Yes you need to software to communicate with the obd2 bluetooth connector. You pair it with the phone, and then need to software to get the info.
There are currently 2 apps available, but they both fail to work. I thought it could maybe be a bug in android, but i can't seem to find any info about it.
I also expected i could have made a mistake while pairing the device to the phone, since i am only using android for a few weeks
it should be working, the only thing is that further down the debug the bluetooth stack blows up inside a native method

I'm itching to see what the UUIDs your bluetooth device advertises
Hey ! we have spoken through email
Im trying to see how i can get the UUID of the device. I tried it with my ubuntu laptop, but couldnt find it yet.
Im using the same bluetooth device as listed on the torque website, the one with the blue sticker on the side
I have bonded the adapter with my laptop. Then setup Serial port.
I did not manage to get the UUID yet, is the info below helpfull?

Yep thats fine on the bluetooth info, this is looking like a bug in androids handling of bluetooth, and it's a weird one at that.
Is your firmware a completley stock ROM for the phone? You haven't put a modified ROM onto it?
Well good to hear you at least know what is wrong.
My rom is a stock rom. This is the info from settings, software information :
Firmwareversion :
2.1-update1
Smallbandversion :
32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11
Kernelversion :
2.6.29-97da29ed

Build number :
1.14.405.4 CL144070 release keys
Software number :
1.15.405.4
Browserversion :
WebKit 3.1
The phone's model number is HTC Desire A8181
Do you know what the bug consists of?
Thanks again !
Sorry, I haven't replied earlier, been busy for a few days.
It's looking very much like a bluetooth stack issue on the HTC Desire. Googling a reveals a couple more grumblings with the desires bluetooth stack but nothing concrete. Unfortunately I haven't got one of the devices directly to play with to verify my assumption, so fixing it is probably not going to happen (if I am able to work around the bug at all!).
Unfortunately I'll have to say you're out of luck /for the moment/, if one of my friends aquires one (or I can reproduce it on my Nexus one if/whenever Google/Brightpoint decide to deliver it!) then I will try to reproduce the fault and to get it to work for you (from my point of view I want this to work with as many devices/vehicles as possible!!)
Ian
Is there anything i can help you with? as i also really like to use this app.
If you provide me with things to check, gather or investigate i would be happy to do so!

Hi
Just to let you know I managed to sort a workaround out for torque with regards to the bluetooth problems and it is now connecting fine

The code was 1,2,3,4
I've been a android user since Sept '09 (G1/Dream) and now I recently got my X10.
I've had a Nokia 770,800, and now N810. I used a application called 'Carman' which would read a OBD2 Bluetooth unit which was connected in my car. I would simply plug it into the port under my steering wheel and it would show up easily on my Nokia. The software worked great.
There is code available, and the website for carman is: http://openbossa.indt.org/carman/
The bluetooth unit I got was this one: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.16921 (although mine is orange, got mine back in Dec '08)
It would be great to see this being ported over to Android. Hopefully this is helpful!

Hello!
Are there any known issues with Android and bt devices? I can't seem to get my desire and a bt obd reader to pair, the phone doesn't even see it.

yeah i've been searching for awhile and apparently HTC broke the stock bluetooth stack with some kind of proprietary settings that makes most advanced functions not work (HID, SPP, etc) it appears if you use a rom thats not sense based (like cyanogenmod) then the profiles work
