Bluetooth issue? - G Tablet General

Good afternoon,
First thank you all for all your hard work. I have been lurking here for about a week and i have found many useful threads and apps. I have a gtab (guess that is obvious) that is currently running Vegan-B3(tried TnT 2.2.1 and TnT 2.4 as well) and im trying to pair it with my droid INC (rooted but OTA still installed) so that i can connect the GPS to the Gtab. I have read all i can find but still im getting stuck. The two will pair but not connect(i can connect to my pc and send audio so i assume the BT module is fucntioning fine)..... Tether is fine (i can browse the web using the verizon hotspot app and share gps is installed on the phone). So that is issue one. Issue 2 is i can not find the bluetooth gps app in the market on the tablet (i have tried the fix many times(as well as the "new fix") but it never comes up) im also having an issue finding the app so tht i can sideload it (googoo android doesnt seem to have a website).
thanks for your time and advice.

Resolved
I solved this issue. Blue tooth doesnt show "connected" but works just fine. I wasnt able to fix the market place but i did find another app that worked (i was so focused on following the dirs before that it didnt really occur to me to look for another app until late last night). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833094
1. connected to the phone hotspot (gtab)
2. turn on GPS share (INC)
3. turn on BlueGPS4Droid (gtab)
4. tested it on a route i know well
Seemed to work just fine

wifi didn´t work on htc touch pro with xdandroid 2.2.1 frx04

hi
i´ve got a problem
have a touch pro with winmo 6.5
downloaded xdandroid 2.2.1 frx03 (but tried to resolve the problem with changing to frx04, too).
first - xdandroid works great. very nice and smooth
but - i only loaded it because it´s not possible to connect a android tablet with a winmo hotspot (because winmo only can provide ad-hoc as spot and android is unable to connect to ad-hoc)
so i read that it should work with the android hotspot...
so far so good.
but wifi doesn´t work on my touch pro.
i tried different things -
startet the haret.exe with enabled wifi (it works great on winmo),
startet haret.exe with disabled wifi
tried the frx03, the frx04
everytime i try to enable wifi in xdandroid it says fail
unable to connect to my home-wlan
and unable to scan for wlan because alsways a fail during the try to enable
I hope there is a resolution for this problem or am i just one of those f***** people where wifi under android didn´t work'?
HTC Touch Pro here as well.
Installed 2.2.1 FRX03.21 and no wifi for me either. I just got installed yesterday. First I have tried Xandroid in about 9 months. Was hoping it would work slick,out of the box. I 'm sure someone will come up with a patch to get wifi working. Oh, by the way, camera would not work either I am guessing gps may not either?
I wanted to add, I do see a couple 'light bars' on the wifi icon that comes and goes a little, like android does see the access point.
Barry
Using FRX04 with the latest kernel package from the Autobuild site and rootfs on my Fuze/RAPH110 and am staring at 5 wifi spots...
Not sure why you are experiencing those issues, have you tried to start over from scratch with FRX04 yet?
Please leave some feedback HERE

Bluetooth pairing with Car

I have a 2011 Jeep Grand Chreokee. When I first got the phone, it paired fine and I was able to make and receive calls through the BT. I had this setup for about 1-2 days. I then rooted the phone with the stock ROM only removing bloat ware...now I cannot connect via bluetooth back to the car. It seems to connect then disconnect me right away. Ideas?
I know this seems obvious but have you tried unpairing and repairing the phone to the car? Sometimes bluetooth can get fidgety and most of the time it requires you to repair the device. In my experience that generally solves the issues I have had with bluetooth.
Any time I have factory restored my phone I have had to repair it to any Bluetooth devices it was once connected to. Not sure if the Bluetooth address changes for the phone or not on a reset or ROM change, but it seems to be the case. My Infiniti G37s has Bluetooth and I experienced the same issue as you, pair it again and see if that helps.
Thanks for replies...I tried to repair about 6 different times...same result. It seem that the phone and audio connections both connect for about 2 seconds, then the phone disconnects.
Funny, I wanted to try this but kept forgetting. So I just went down to my garage and tried it, and it paired successfully on the first try. Tried making a call via number/phonebook and it all worked.
I'm rooted running Das BAMF 1.3, and paired it with a '11 Sonata Limited.
So I got it working...but without the phone book downloaded. The issue is in fact when it tries to download the phone book. Need to get another phone loaded up with my contacts and do a sync to get phone book loaded to car.

Did you do anything to get it working?
When the device asked me to allow connection to download the phone book, I declined, only then would it pair properly.
I think I figured it out, I have the Infiniti G37, when I rooted & re-paired the Bluetooth, somehow I ignored the question when it popped up asking to "allow" or "deny" the connection.
Yesterday during the whole 4G fiasco, I reflashed & had to re do everything this morning, when I paired my BT, it asked me whether to allow & this time I clicked allow & my BT connects & stays connected fine now.
My question is, is there a way to delete the BT pairing on the phone without having to completely wipe the phone with a reflash?

nevermind, I just found the answer
http://support.vzw.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=39262
just hold down "paired"
I believe the issue is just with the MyGig radio on the Chrysler products. I have a SRT8 Magnum with the MyGig and allowing it to download the address book "Breaks" the B.T. connection. I don't know what the issue is? Perhaps too much information being sent to the MyGig and it "locks up"?
I also have a Ford Focus for a daily driver and allowing it to download the Address Book over the phone has no such issue.

It does it on my aftermarket Kenwood double-din unit, too. I've seen it happen on several Ford units too.

I updated my 430N radio with the latest firmware update and phone book downloaded and BT is working without getting disconnected.
Thanks
Thanks for that info. Although I can't do it as I have the "MyGig" retro-fitted into my 07 SRT. So, if I apply the "official update" I will lose GPS time and a bunch of other things.
But, nice to know it works.

[Q] bluetooth connection to htc magic running cm6.1

I'm trying to tether the transformer to my phone via Bluetooth and it doesn't seem to work. They will pair but refuse to connect. Tapping on the device does nothing too. I've tried re-pairing them a couple of times to no avail. Is anybody experiencing this?
Yes, I know the phone is old.....gonna upgrade soon!
I'm having the same issue with my INC with cm7.03

Would you try "market BT file transfer" for connecting?

Which tethering app did you use?
And, did you try to make your magic to be able to access internet via Transformer?

Works thanks!
Bloody hell, that works! Thanks!
What did that Bluetooth File Transfer app do though?
@kaguyahouraisan
I was simply using the Wireless Tether app on the market.
I just installed Bluetooth File Transfer app on my TF but I'm still not able to tether my TF to my phone via BT for internet access. Can someone please post more detailed instructions.
Thanks.
I installed it on both my TF and the Magic. Pair them up as per normal, then connect them via the BT File Transfer app. Once I got them to connect, I could connect them through the Bluetooth settings page without needing the BT File Transfer anymore.

[Q] Bluetooth Tether On Official ICS

I've been waiting and waiting for ICS to come out, so that I can use bluetooth tethering to my PC at work, like I do with my wifi-only Xoom. Unfortunately, this seems to be disabled. Can someone please confirm this and let me know if there is a way to enable it? I've seen the thread about enabling it on the 4.0.4 leak with the SQLLite hack, but I'm not sure this would work with the new ICS.
Thanks!
Though I have another Bluetooth issue (mentioning it here cause it also lists a driver issue in computer which is a common issue) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1931540
I have mentioned therein I was successfully able to establish BT tether (will probably post a screenshot later) but If I recall, I had to right click the device (our phone listed under "Printers & Devices" on Win 7) & then click connect & only then the tether went thru successfully and until then it did not. I hope it makes sense to you. BT Tether is very much part of ICS 4.0.4 stock OTA upgrade (can't say about custom ROM's)
Same Here

My son always tethered to my Atrix 2 with his ipod touch and he also can no longer connect since I updated to stock ICS. I'm rooted and using SQLite Editor, but I see nothing in the settings.db that remotely looks like enabling bluetooth PAN (tethering). Anyone else have a fix?
Can't bluetooth tether anymore
I used to connect my android tablet to my atrix 2 over bluetooth with GB on the atrix 2 and have internet on the tablet. Now with ICS on the atrix 2, I no longer have the internet profile listed under bluetooth when connecting to it from the tablet, and I cannot get internet to my tablet.
It appears that downgrading my OTA ICS is not an option (but I'm still searching), so am I hoping that I can enable this bluetooth ability again. Has anyone found a way to do this?
I am having a similar issue, I just got a nexus 7 and was hoping to bluetooth tether my A2 to it. I don't use bluetooth really at all, but I wanted to use it for this. When I first tried to set it up I could pair my A2 to my N7 but it wouldn't connect. I tried connecting my A2 to my laptop, same thing, it would pair but not connect. However, I could pair, connect, and transfer files between my N7 and my laptop.
I cleared data from bluetooth share and rebooted, no luck.
I cleared data from bluetooth dun and rebooted. At this point I could pair, connect and transfer files with my A2 and laptop, but still couldn't connect with N7.
I downloaded bluetooth file transfer from the market. It said that I could only transfer files to the other device not from it (same thing whether I did it from the A2 or N7). It said that I connected, but when I tried to transfer a file I would get an error.
I downloaded foxfi and pdanet table from the market, couldn't connect or tether with this either.
I did a factory reset, still laptop worked, N7 didn't.
When I go into the bluetooth setting on my A2 or my N7 the only options I have for either are to change name, or unpair.
After each troubleshooting step, I tried to see if my N7 was able to access my A2's data, but it never could.
I have searched extensively and have been unable to find an answer or a solution.
Essentially, I want to tether my A2 to my N7 with bluetooth, They will pair witheachother but they will not connect. Help?

[Q] Bluetooth blues. (JB and ICS, file transfer, tethering.)

I have a Dell XPS17(laptop), Nokia N900 (phone) and a TF700 (tablet).
I am trying to get Bluetooth anything working on the TF700 with my other devices.
I am running Fedora 17 on the XPS17.
I am running JB on the TF700. Its never been rooted or flashed.
I can browse and file transfer to the N900 from the XPS17. No problems. I can access the N900s 3G data connection from the XPS17, no problem. It works well.
Nothing Bluetooth works with the TF700. It seems to pair to both devices just fine, but that is where it stops.
I want to do the following
- send files to the TF700 from the XPS.
This doesn't work, even though Fedora shows its an available bluetooth service. Fedora attempts the send, but nothing seems to arrive on the TF700.
- browse files on the TF700 from the XPS.
Fedora does not show this is an available service.
- access the N900s 3G data connection from the TF700.
In the settings menu, when I click on the N900 paired device settings, it shows a checkbox for "Use for Internet Access". When I enable that it starts Connecting... and takes forever. Eventually it returns.
When I bring up the pop up small settings menu, it displays the Bluetooth icon in the area where it displays the network connection, but says "No Internet connection". In spite of that, it seems as though I can download a web page or two in Firefox and then the connection dies.
I have no Bluetooth tether "client" software installed on the TF700.
I experienced the same behavior in ICS. I was hoping the JB upgrade would address these issues.
Any ideas on fixing this situation ?
Thanks
i used to be able to send/receive files to/from my galaxy nexus and pc. But since JB, the share option to bluetooth is not available.
bluetooth file transfer from play.
my bluetooth pairing is nightmare.... each time i pair to n900 my tf700t JB4.1.1 gets a reboot.... no problem with ICS... is there a BT driver issue with JB? i saw many other threads with JB BT issues... currently relying on Joikuspot to tether my n900 to tf700t.. gosh this is sick... overall is a good update...

I'm using Mobile Hotspot. Works really well after some tweaking. Amazing to do this on the N900, straight forward, with no hiccups whereas on an iPhone 4 you have to inform the carrier, extra charge and/or jailbreak it.

I installed it. I had it installed previously (ICS) and removed it because it didn't work. Now (JB update) I can send files from the TF700 to my Linux box. Yippee.
But... I want to do TF700 file management from the Linux box (XPS17), not from the TF700 itself.a
I can do this with my N900. On my Linux box, I browse the N900 file system as a mounted device in Dolphin and remotely move, upload/download, delete files on the N900 at will. Its really slick.
It appears as though the Bluetooth File Manager uses (provides ?) OPP and FTP Bluetooth profiles when its running. And yet the available TF700 profiles don't change on my Linux box.
Any ideas on making this work ?
Why isn't JB making various Bluetooth profiles available automatically ? Is there a way to make it, like install an obex server and run it as a service ?
Its ironic that all this stuff "just works" on my 2 year old N900 with the lowly Maemo 5 OS, and it seems so difficult on Android. Caveat, I'm an Android newbie.

Hmmm....
Did you follow the instructions here ?
http://myn900.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/tethering-the-n900-part-3-bluetooth/
What kernel are you running on your N900 ?
What settings are you using on your TF700 ?
More troubleshooting and testing.
I connected my N900 to my Linux box via Bluetooth. In Dolphin it says its using obexftp when browsing the N900 file structure.
I installed Bluetooth File Transfer on my TF700. In BFT, I enabled starting OPP and FTP at boot. I rebooted. I checked in Dolphin and still no browsing option is available in Dolphin. I started BFT. It then told me that it was starting ObexFTP. I check Dolphin and still no browsing option is available in Dolphin. I re paired the TF700 to the Linux box. Still nothing in Dolphin.
Why isn't Dolphin seeing an ObexFTP profile from my TF700 ?
I found one difference between the N900 and the TF700.
$ ps aux | grep obex returns obexd on the N900.
There is no friggin grep on the TF700 !
$ps aux on the TF700 finds it.medevial.blueftp on the TF700. No obexd ! Therein lies the difference.
Has anyone fooled with installing obexd on Android ?
And how do it get grep on this thing ?
Sorry if these are newbie questions.
I did a small search and saw the ability to install obexd (and other libraries) from maemo.org to make BT more functional on devices like the N9000.
Would be nice if we could find something similar like that for Android....

I'm going to put obexd on myself. Stay tuned.
Awesome - when you get it figured out, keep us posted!
I will.
I started digging into it. Seems there is a lot missing on Android compared to a regular Linux machine. Looks like I am going to need Busybox and do a bunch of NDK building. No biggie, just more than I thought it would be.
I'm not too happy with some of the ssh packages that are out there either.
Stay tuned.
Hi!
Did you manage to solve your issues?
I am also owner of n900+tf700 and I am heavily frustrated with this tethering reboots.
I am either using a 3g modem or Mobile Hotspot, but both these workarounds have limitations - modem is another device to have with me and Hotspot app drains battery in a matter of couple of hours.
