Hi,
is it possible to use rSAP or SPA and activate in the firmware?
I want to use it with my car bluetooth.
Cheers
Any word on this?
Current model VW/Skoda/Audi only support rSAP profile, which is a royal pain.
rSAP
Hi,
got my new VW with the premium phone set. I've found on the german wikipedia the list of rSAP supporting phones. Most Nokia models seem to support it as the premium phone set is actually modified Nokia BT set. I also found that the rSAP is supported by all HTC except G1 and one other model. This got me thinking if it might be more software than hardware issue of android which might not support rSAP rather than the phone itself. Anyone got any ideas about it, cause I don't wanna change my phone to nokia as my network does not have any other HTC mobiles in offer.

I'm pretty sure you are right that it NOT a hardware issue as much as a firmware issue. The protocol has just not been developed for Android.
The reason: Infancy and lack of subscriber base at this time. Not many people in the grand scheme of things have Android and even fewer have rSAP devices AND Android. Both platforms would have to gain more popularity before support will develop. Sad but true.

Hi everybody,
I have been trying to catch up on the recent development in android porting.
Now, I am planning to get a new phone. Since my carrier does not sell the g1, I am wondering which would be the best working alterntive? Meaning which port would allow to use most/all feature of android?
I do need gps working now or in the near future to make this a viable alternative to me.
I have been looking at the ports of which I already know of, being the port to the vogue and to the diamond.
To my understanding (please correct me) the vogue lacks the gps hardware.
So the only device left is the diamond. Or are there any other phones which I have overseen, that sport gps, and a progressing/working port of android?
To sum it all up:
Which device gets the most attention by the dev community regarding the port of android to it?
Which one is at the moment the best working port (which device)?
Which phone poses to be the most promising device for a fully fledge port in the future?
I would be quite thankful, if anybody in the know, or even someone the porting community could give me some insight or even a proper roundup on my options here.
regards and thx for your help and insights in advance,
trial
Vogue has the GPS hardware, but AFAIK, GPS is far off for any Android port.
General Mobile is coming out with an alternative Android phone, it also has dual sim slots.

I'm waiting for this to come out and to see some reviews.
Check the Google Android developer page.
You can buy a developer version phone for $399
All you have to do is register as a developer which cost $25(I think).
Edit: Not really for porting to but you did mention you couldn't get a G1, so I'm assuming you're open to a native Android phone.
ok guys.
first of all, thx for your replies.
i am not really planning to get the real g1 (even the dev version), since i am not really satisfied with its hw.
i figured it'd be easier to get a used htc device off ebay, which would be capable of running android.
So, I'd be willing to wait - which device looks the most promising in running a full android port?
Is there any effort whatsoever on the gps for the vogue or any other device? Is it likely that it will work at all?
thx for your info again
Greetings,
Can anyone confirm if the AC T110/100 actually works for TV out or not. I've seen lots of conflicting theories in my thread searches, but nobody specified if they have actually tried this cable. (Sorry if I missed the post, I did look quite a bit)
Heres what I know:
I started by sending a helpdesk request to HTC support, but got no reply at all. According to AT&T's website:
(http://www.wireless.att.com/businesscenter/HTC-PURE/index.jsp) under the Features Tab it states:
"HTC ExtUSB™—11 pin mini USB 2.0, audio jack, and TV Out in one (HTC TV Out cable sold separately)"
******************
I figured I'd try to slap something together on my own, so I tried a few things.
Before I did anything, I enabled the tv out in the registry.
HKLM/software/HTC/TVOut/Function=1
I then tried to run the Nue Tv out app:
( http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueTVOut.aspx )
The .exe installer did not work. I found a slightly older cab that did install. The nue app requires you to use the audio dongle that comes with the phone and a "Ipod or camcorder" 1/8 to rca out plugged into the dongle's audio out. The pinout for Ipod and camcorder video is different so I couldn't imagine they would both work. After installing, I can confirm that neither works (at least with the only installable version). I have seen posts of people getting this working with the generic topaz running wm6.1, so I'm at a bit of a loss. My next step was to buy one of the official cables, but I'm wondering if anyone's tried this yet.
Thanks in advance if anyone has any insight into this.

I am not sure it is supported, it seems AT&T being the world class customer oriented institution they are just badly copied the HTC "Fuze" specs (http://www.wireless.att.com/businesscenter/HTC-FUZE/index.jsp) and added/removed this and that.
From what I understand, the regkey *IS* there, but this is simply because Windows Mobile 6.x supports TV out, and is even on other phones.
The hardware on the "Pure" / Topaz does not support TV-Out as the Graphics card in the phone is a different release to the "Fuze" / HD / Pro phones.

Thanks Pneuma, makes sense, I didn't do much homework on the hardware itself, just assumed it'd be the same chipset.
Is anyone tried mini bluetooth keyboard from ebay its so confusing that it would work or wouldn't. I asked some sellers some say it will work some will not work, one one seller posting says it would not work with Android 2.2 Any input on this issue I appreciated.

I don't think it will work with our phones. From what I understand, we have BT 2.1 but HID enabled BT is 3.0 at least.

No, the problem is just that Android doesn't have proper drivers for HID. I've been using bluetooth keyboards forever on my old Windows Mobile devices, so I know it's not a problem with bluetooth version. More importantly, no bluetooth keyboard would even benefit from the BT 3.0 spec - 2.1 is just fine. This is true (as far as I know) for all Android devices, except maybe for the Galaxy Tab, where Samsung may have taken time to make bluetooth HID drivers. Not 100% sure on this, but last I saw, Android doesn't natively support bluetooth HID.
It's a shame too - these large screened, high-res devices (especially the EVO with it's built in kickstand) would make great note taking, IM/email devices when paired with a portable keyboard. Would be a great notebook/netbook replacement and/or supplement.
So buying me one of those mini bluetooth keyboard is not gonna do any good for me, some vendors saying specifically android on their title, and one vendor responded that yes epic and evo will work, or its just a scam.

There's a company that sells a thirdparty app to use Bluetooth SPP profile keyboards on most Android phones, but most new Bluetooth keyboards only do HID. HID should work on the Epic when CM6 is ready, but it's unlikely to ever work on an Epic w/stock ROM.

Hi,
Does anyone know if the HTC One S is ANT+ enabled?
I have contacted HTC support but as yet I have not had a reply.
Many thanks as always.
I'm also interested. Still no answer from HTC?
I doubt it is ANT+ compatible but I would be very interested to have that feature.
Looking at the specs for the One S, I don't see anything that says it has an ANT chip, so I would say no.
After searching a lot I think than HTC One S isn't compatible with Ant+ but is compatible with bluetooth smart with a 4.3 Android ROM.
Hi Everyone.
I am curious as to why Dual Audio seen on Samsung Galaxy flagships is not really found on other brands or Samsung's mid-rangers. I have a few portable BT speakers and it would be really nice to combine their sound for a more room filling experience.
Dual Audio was first introduced on the S8 along with Bluetooth 5. It is touted as a BT5 feature, but as Gary from Android Authority explains, the advancements of BT5 is only applicable to BTLE and supported devices. Samsung's Dual Audio works with devices that stream over BT Classic.
I am thinking that a BT5 radio in a source device has the hardware capability to stream audio to two devices over BT Classic. This makes me think that Dual Audio is a software implementation which can be done through the driver or an app. Speaking of which, Tempow developed a BT profile, TAP, which can do Dual Audio. Motorola and TCL has adopted TAP into their phones.
There are suggestions that Samsung has 2 BT radios in their devices to enable Dual audio, but I don't think it's likely, since Tempow seems keen on bringing their TAP to the masses with nothing to suggest a 2 radio requirement.
So now I am really curious about why it isn't implemented on more phones? Or better yet, on custom ROMs?
