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.

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.

This might not be specific to this phone, since most Samsung phones don't have the ability to do this by default, but maybe it is.
My first Android phone was a Nexus One. Loved the phone, but after about 2 years, it died on me. I was ok with it too, as I was on AT&T and the data speeds were always SLOOOOOW.
Anyways, I have this phone now, and I do miss using a bluetooth gamepad to play snes roms. I tried using the bluetooth input app from the market (the one made by CCP or whomever) and naturally I get the, "This will not work on most unmodified Samsung phones" error message.
While part of me kinda wanted to buy the Galaxy Nexus, which I knew would work with this without any problem, the phone is just too large for me.
If you've rooted your Blaze and taken out some of the apps, have you ever tried to use a bluetooth gamepad (such as a wiimote, which is esentially what I'm using, since I have a Datel gamepad that is basically a wiimote built in) or the newer method which of course is a Sony PS3 controller, that is paired via a connecting cable?
I'm not sure specifically why most of the branded phones don't work with this, all I know is that supposedly the Sense UI phones don't have the proper bluetooth license in their chip so it never worked, I don't know if that was true though, and if it's also true for Samsung's Touchwiz.
I look forward to the day when there are stock ICS rom's that work with our phone available! Until then, I'll use what I have.
Thanks!
If anyone else is wondering, I rooted the phone a couple days ago, and yes, it does. I have not yet personally used the wiipad setup because I don't have any AA batteries currently, but https://play.google.com/store/search?q=sixaxis+controller&c=apps works very well. It connects with "type 2" which means that it has to disable all other bluetooth devices so you can't use a set of bluetooth headphones to listen to music or talk while you are playing a rom, but oh well.

Seems like a compromisable workaround... ordered myself one from ebay yesterday. Should have it in a couple of days.

When you receive your headphones, could you please check if Song titles (stock music player) and Caller IDs (caller name) show up on the screen?
Will test them extensively... as far as i could see from a youtube video with a motorola phone, the callers number does show up...

Song title is working on stock music player and Play Music. But only caller number show up, no caller name.
caller name shows up sometimes on my mw600. I own it for about 2 years now. totally worth the money.

looking at reviews on amazon this is an old device with so many negative reviews. Be careful it don't seem to be worth
I have them, but does not connect with bt of S4, I tested with several cooked roms. With the Galaxy Nexus I worked perfectly.
I have ordered a similar one last year from ebay, works great i do not use it with my headphones tho, i use it in my aux cable in my car, so I have a bluetooth in my car for only $23
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bluedio-DF620-Bluetooth-3-0-Stereo-Headset-Caller-ID-Black-/130909660622
I've had this bluetooth headset a few years. The biggest drawback is that it only got Bluetooth profile 2.1, but all the A2DP functions and Caller ID and played music track is shown. I can be paired with 3 different devices and it has an RDS enabled FM radio. I have yet to find a newer small stereo bluetooth headset with radio at this price. I'am however thinking about getting a Sony SBH50 as it looks like a decent upgrade. It got Bluetooth 3.0 and also an FM radio function. The MW600 is probably not a bad choice, but why get 5 year old technology when you can get the newest at almost similar cost?
Wasn't aware of this one... looks pretty high end! I wonder if the message reading options are available for the s4... would have gotten this one if i had seen it before. In white to go along with my phone.

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.
Sent from my One using Tapatalk
Yeah. Probably even your sonata sound system doesn't support aptx codec.
A bit more info.
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/AptX
I would be curious though if the oneplus one supports aptx. I'm thinking probably not.
Sent from my One using Tapatalk
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

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:
