Hi all
Has anybody a idea why google implement the Bluetooth Low Energy standard so late? (since android 4.3)
I think dependent on this reason many apps are currently not support BLE
Cheers, Marc

We all know that standard Bluetooth take some juice out of our phones. With the new Bluetooth 4.0 and more specific Low Energy, is it possible to only turn on the Low energy part of the bluetooth module, or is it "too deep" in the system. I have a Galaxy S3.
If only Bluetooth LE was turned on it could be turned on all day with not problem.
Hi guys,
I've been looking to get a heart rate monitor to use with the Runtastic apk.
I've noted that most of the devices requires Android 4.3 or newer and low energy Bluetooth (V4)

Do you know if any of these devices is compatible with the HTC Sensation?
What device do you use?
Any suggestion to get a good device for less than 40 EUR/50 US$?
Thanks
Polar WearLink should work - requires Bluetooth 2.0.
I have a Samsung i927 running 4.0.x android. I would like to use it with BT beacons which are all using BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy).
I do not understand exactly what the requirements are on the android phone for BLE:
Is this ONLY an android driver requirements ? Eg: If i would upgrade my rooted phone to 4.4, i would get BLE ?
It is ALSO a bluetooth chip requirement, so the BT chip in my i927 will not or may not support BLE .
If it is a chip feature, how could i figure out if the BT chip in the i927 support BLE ?
Thanks
Isn't Bluetooth 5.0 supposed to have dual audio support? Why don't we have the software support for it yet when S8 has had it since a long time?
Is there any mod to activate dual audio?
i was just gonna ask this question. I miss this feature from my Note 8,. my girl likes to listen to the spotify playlist i got going on with me at the gym and we can't with OPO6
Bluetooth 5.0 has nothink to do with dual speaker..., The features of samsung is something else, it s not because of 5.0, the version is only about faster transmission and consuming less energy
Bluetooth 5.0 does support dual audio as well as faster transmission and consuming less energy

Not sure why it's not implemented in OP6

Sorry but you're not getting it right.
Here is a better way to understand it : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T-CPobBQi6E
there's absolutely nothing in the bluetooth protocol that prevents android's audio driver from routing sound to both speakers, headphones and bluetooth at the same time.
these should be individually toggle-able. any sane engineer would do it this way.
android just cripples our devices for $reasons
Hello Everyone,
I am a new AndroidOS user and recently had a friend help me install a head-unit to my Audi A4. The head-unit is similar to the following model:
Audi/Seat | Qualcomm 665| Android / iPhone | Octa Core | 6GB RAM &128GB ROM | Integrated 4G Solution | IQ82A4AL
XTRONS IQ82A4AL is a brand new Octa-core car sereo for Audi/Seat with Qualcomm 665 6GB RAM 128GB ROM Integrated 4G solution plus the latest in-car entertainment features premium quality built-in DSP, CarPlay & Android Auto and more.

Background:
I have noticed that when I INITIALLY pair my iPhone to the Android head-unit over BT, it will ask me to pair on my iPhone (which I confirm), and then switch to CarPlay automatically. At this point everything dealing with CarPlay is handled over Wifi (not BT), but if I go back to the main AndroidOS UI, and check if my BT is still paired, is it DISCONNECTED. I am also able to confirm that the BT connection is disconnected on my iPhone as well. Each subsequent connection, as soon as I turn on the car and it connects to my phone (over BT), it switches to CarPlay, and then the BT disconnects. I would have assumed the BT connection would still be active and paired at this point.
Question:
Is the BT connection being disconnected (after CarPlay is initialized) expected behavior? I chatted with my friend who is an Android-Auto user, and he said with his setup (using similar head-unit), the BT connection is ACTIVE even after Android Auto takes over control.
Any feedback on how this is supposed to work for Apple iPhone users, utilizing the CarPlay functionality, would be greatly appreciated. If I could provide any additional information on my side, to assist with troubleshooting, please let me know.
Thanks,
Asif
