[q] avrcp 1.4 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know if AVRCP 1.4 made its way onto the nexus 5 or kit kat?

I'd love to know this too...:angel:

I'd be happy if the 1.3 functionality worked with my '12 Toyota Camry. Last time it worked was 4.1.2 with the BlueZ bluetooth stack. Ever since the change to Bluedroid, no AVRCP works. No metadata, no remote control of phone from head unit.
Getting pretty tired of the bugs and Google's crappy support of the new bluetooth stack.

Keyboard

Has anyone managed to pair a bluetooth keyboard with their phone yet?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I've yet to get my hands on one to try. I've just ordered a zeemote for a laugh, here's hoping they sort out the bluetooth drivers soon
i'll need to find a BT keyboard before i can test this out, i want to find out too
I unsuccessfully tried pairing my Logitech DiNovo mini to my SGS.
I can pair my iGo ultraslim, but won't do anything beyond that... No HID bluetooth profile support sadly, there is SPP bluetooth profile support so some peripherals will work (I think the Freedom BT keyboard should work).
Bump, I am really having a headache as I sold my HD2 - I cant pair my SU-8W nokia bluetooth keyboard with my i9000 - which used to work with my N95 and my HD2 (sold grrr)
I really need a fix for this if anyone can advise
Blueinput crashes when I load it, which is meant to give support for these keyboards.
Wont even start just errors out.
I installed Keypro but this doesnt seem to do anything on the galaxy either....
THanks all!
You're probably stuck until the cyanogenmod team releases their ROM for the Galaxy S, which should have HID bluetooth profile support...
exactly, it's not really a problem
what you really need is a Driver that supports the Human Interface Driver (HID)
appears that it's not build in on Android 2.1

[Q] mini bluetooth keyboard

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.

Is there any bluetooth game controller that can be used with emulators on infuse?

I was looking to join the Infuse 4g team here and wanted to know the following:
- Can you use ANY bluetooth controllers with gaming emulators? Also is there a single one that works without being rooted?
I know that Samsung usually messes up the ability to connect bluetooth controllers. I remember with my HTC Nexus One it worked beautifully with a wiimote even though I never rooted
I figured if I can use a bluetooth game controller with the gaming emulators and HDMI it to my television that I would have to purchase it...
Thanks for any knowledge you can give me I appreciate it
Yes, bluez ime will let you use zeemote, icontrolpad, and msi bgp100. No root required. Get bluez ime on the market.

Oh... My... God...
You sir, are AMAZING!
Thank you so much I really appreciate you taking the time to answer my question jjfbman. I was starting to lose hope since no one answered my question but you saved the day. I'd really like to go with the Infuse but I told myself the next phone I get has to do 3 things like the iPhone can:
1. Emulators w/ bluetooth game controller support
2. Bluetooth keyboard support (I believe some people say the infuse already does this?)
3. Netflix streaming
1 down... 2 to go and I'm sold
Netflix support is probably going to come with Gingerbread. And if the rumors about Roger's Infuse are true, then an unofficial Gingerbread release shouldn't be too far off.

[Q] Bluetooth Low Energy?

Okay, I am so confused my head is spinning.
Does the nexus have BLE? I found this app on the play store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manuelnaranjo.btle.installer2
Is BLE hidden on nexus 7?
Also, can someone explain to me the difference between BLE, Bluetooth 4.0, and Bluetooth smart? I am trying to buy the appropriate arduino hardware and I am so confused...

BLE on the Nexus 7 (2012 - grouper) is available and confirmed working!

BLE is a type of Bluetooth 4.0. It does not work on the Nexus 7 2012 unless you buy that app. I did it and it worked.

AptX support?

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
