Current users - can you tell me about HID BT devices? - Galaxy S I9000 Accessories

Hi, just wondering whether any of the current i9000 users can check whether bluetooth keyboards/controllers etc are working with this handset?

Working bluetooth headsets

Hi
As I understand it, the Bluetooth implementation for the various Hero ROMS for Magic is still not quite functionel.
But I have also seen references to some people having specific Bluetooth headset working anyways.
Could anyone tell me if they have a BT headset actually fully working with a Hero ROM - and which make(s) and model(s) they are?

HTC touch2 and VW bluetooth

Ok.... Firstly if i have this wrong I apologise in advance... I have read the Q&A's going back a good time and searched the forums for HTC touch2 threads but cant find this subject anywhere... I hope i havent just missed or misunderstood the jargon !!
I have just been issued a HTC touch2 phone and i am having compatability problems setting it up to use via bluetooth with my VW UHV PREM in car system. I have read tons of forum pieces on similar problems with HTC Phones but dont fully understand the solution and the touch2 isn't specifically mentioned... VW say the phone should be rSAP complatible... what is rSAP and how do i make this thing work... I have enabled SAP and the car has found and paired the phone but refuses to connect at all ... HEEELLLPPPP ...
you need a combination of ROM and kernel that support that. gingerbread had some roms and kernels which were able to connect via rsap to you vw uhv.
but to be honest, i dont know much about htc roms or kernels, which means you need to try for yourself.
this app is afaik the only solution for recent ICS versions and runs as form of an addon to your rom / kernel. just search for bluetooth sim access profile in the market
note, that this app will not guarantee you a succesful rsap connection, but with my sgs2 it is recently the only solution to get it working somehow.+
for an explanation about rsap i suggest google
in short terms it provides the sim to another device (like your radio), which includes the possibility to call, read sms, use contacts directly through your car.
which leaves your phone in kind of airplane mode.
combinations of android build + kernel for bluetooth SIM access profile
Hello
Can anyone provide a list of suitable combinations of android build + kernel for bluetooth SIM access profile (e. g. rSAP)?
I have Slim ROM with android 4.3.1, there it does not work.
Thanks.

[Q] Mango and Bluetooth Profiles

There is a lot of talk about Mango right now. Does anyone know if the Bluetooth stack is going to include more profiles? In particular interest to me is the Serial Port Profile (SPP).
I'm not sure, but I don't think so. On this moment bt in wp7 mango has minimum functionality.
How bout Bluetooth profiles for video sound?
external gps
I know that Microsoft does not officially support many bluetooth profiles except headsets and a few others listed at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2449475.
Is it possible to get the radios in a WM7 phone and a device that uses a profile excluded from Microsoft's list to communicate at all?
I reckon external GPS units all use the SPP profile (serial port?)

[Q] MotoActv Bluetooth Profiles

Hi there!
I've rooted my MotoActv and installed the DPBeta8_1 custom ROM. Does anyone know if the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) is supported? If not, is there a ROM that provides this support? I need this to setup a communication channel with a smartphone.
Thanks!

I've been asking around on this question for a while. It does not support the SPP profile because Motorola took it out. There are instances of people saying they have been able to add bluetooth profiles, but when I try to contact them, there is no reply e.g. Tansoftware says he/she has been able to get other profiles to work..but I haven't received any response to my emails/inquiries...
Hey guys, have you managed to enable bluetooth SPP on motoactv?
motoactv bluetooth (SPP) and IOIO
I am been doing some digging and have come up empty so am looking for some insight.
I just recently purchased a motoactv wrist watch and finished rooting it. I have developed a simple app for my droid X2 that I would also like to use on my motoactv. It is a simple interface to control an IOIO board. My question is:
Since the motoactv has bluetooth (no SPP support best I could find). Is there a way to somehow flash the motoactv with a new ROM to get the SPP bluetooth support? I would like to keep the heart rate monitor and mp3 player support as much as possible.
I did try the "bluetooth class zero" app, but it was not able to discover the IOIO board. I did confirm my droid X2 pairs with the IOIO with no problem.
Has anyone solved this issue? I've tried an app called Bluetooth File Transfer (FTP). It works when sending files, but I cant get devices to find /discover the motoactv via bluetooth. I could see why motorola took out this feature but man it's fustrating.

[Q] Is it possible to use BT 4.0 LE things working with this phone?

Is there a way to get BT 4.0 LE things working with this phone, I mean i know there might be some hardware limitations but i thought all the radio's (inc BT) were SDR (software defined radio) ? Has anyone been able to pull it off, or is there some hw tweak (or adapter) that would allow this phone to communicate with BT 4.0 LE devices? (ie. tile, etc...).
Now i understand that the stock ROM lacks all support for this but what about Emmanuel U's new KK 1.4 ROM for instance? Would just a new ROM give you added functionality (BT 4 LE) or are we pretty much stuck with due to HW chip (sorry if this is seemingly a stupid question but I thought all the radios' were software defined - and therefore be upgraded via firmware to the latest standards?

I don't use BlueTooth, but it seems to me that if a new standard was to be supported firmware-wise, it would have to show up in the device tree, and those things are usually very static (because things tend to blow up if the device tree gets modified too much).
If a radio update was available, it would have to be by someone who really knows what they are doing (i.e. the original development team). I think Emmanuel U advised someone before to not flash the radio. He probably has his reasons behind that one, and would side with his opinion.
This makes logical sense as i surely don't want to brick my device, by messing with the device tree. So definitely thank you for the advice.
Hopefully if someone ever figures it out (and its reliable) they'll post on the board here.
Thanks again
The Qualcomm MSM8260 platfrom was still Snapdragon S3. It wasn't until Snapdragon S4 that Bluetooth and WiFi were packaged on the SoC.
The Doubleshot uses a Broadcom BCM4329 for its secondary radios. It is most definitely not capable of SDR functionality.
