Today I opened my shiny new Jaybird Bluebuds X and going through the manual, I ran into this little feature:

There's an app that can read the battery level on Plantronics headsets, why is there no app that can do this for others? Windows Phone apparently is able to read this too. The only big Bluetooth Headset battery app for Android calculates it based on connection time. I was never able to use it properly with my older Jaybird Freedom headphones because I was always losing the data and/or forgetting to run it to start tracking the usage.
I know this is a Nexus 5 thread, but I'm just wondering if anyone has found a way to get this on Android, or would be interested in getting a bounty going. I'll be happy to pledge some money towards this, being pretty much clueless about app development.
It's not that big of a deal, but the battery warning on these Jaybirds is very annoying, beeping constantly when it's about to run out. Nothing that a consistent charging schedule can't fix, and with a regular micro USB connector, a quick charge in the car will keep them charged up.
I'm just sad that we're missing on a tiny but cool feature.

Hi all,
Thinking of picking up a used phone to replace my girlfriend's battered and bruised handset, she is on Verizon.
Here's the usage...
- Heavy texting so needs a HW qwerty Keyboard.
- Tough - she can kill technology from 30ft with mind bullets
- Web browser, something actually usable like Opera would be great
- Camera
- Storage & player for music and 3.5mm jack for headphones
Thanks for any suggestions.
Go for Touch Pro 2
no 3.5mm jack but an adapter can be used

She'll kill that thing in seconds, I have a Touch Pro and I have to keep it away from her lol. She drops her phone on average once a day I think he he he.

maybe then something without a touchscreen as dropping touchscreen phones is a big killer

I dont think the Rose is available in the US
which bluetooth headphone?
According to SGS Spec, our phone support v3.0 bluetooth (not sure how it benefit us compare with version 2.0)
I'm regular jogger, listen to music during my jog is what I like to do, unfortunately, I just had my expensive (to me at least) wire earphone torn apart , might be due to extensive movement during exercise, hence I'm looking at sporty bluetooth earphone/headphone.
I found Motorokr S9, but it's not available in my country (Asia). any other suggestion?

any suggestion?
I got the S9-HD
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875982274
and they are pretty much the best I had! I used to have the red ones like on the pictures but I got it from a chineese website, so I'm not shure if they are the real deal or an imitation, but the HD's are wayyy better!
please use search next time. there's already a long existing thread for this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770339

here is my toughts i know its not have the details but some points its pretty reasonable
how about your idea?
but i want to be scientific and reasonable
Some things:
I personally feel holding the phone and talking to be quite inconvenient and old-fashioned, so I would predict 10 years from now, the speaker & microphone would/should be replaced by something (maybe directional speakers / microphones / something more hi-fi) so that we can just talk handsfree always without worrying about interference / privacy / all the problems we currently have.
I'm not quite for predicting that touch-screen would be the dominant interface, but couldn't really think of other advanced UI methods that might crop up in the near future. I would more like moving away from the passive device with a display & touchscreen that you've to go to for accessing information towards something like google glass - something that's always there unobtrusively but provides you stuff you want always without all the lookup cycle.
Also, removing the display for something wearable and still not inconvenient (goggle/glass are not liked by everyone) would be a very good technological advance.
Hi,
I recently had my droid maxx replaced because I was getting less than 2 hrs screen time and overall my phone lasted hardly 12 hrs. On the replacement, I have had the same problem and I haven't been able to figure out the reason behind it. I typically keep bluetooth on all the time because I have a moto 360 and bluetooth in my car. Additionally, I typically have my location services set to 'high accuracy' since I use gps to check traffic everyday via Waze (it's pretty annoying to have to turn it on/off twice daily).
One thing that popped in my mind today is that could NFC be responsible? I have a silicon adhesive that I use to store my ID, a credit card, and my ventra card (Chicago public transit). The ventra card uses NFC so I was wondering if my phone might be constantly reading it, and result in the excessive battery drain. Has anyone seen this before? Below are pictures of my screen on time along with the general battery stats. If the low battery is because I'm lazy and keep bluetooth/location services on all the time let me know - but I didn't think the drain would be that excessive. Any tips/advice would be great!

Hey guys. I made a very simple app allowing you to test the stereo channels of your phone's speakers (whether both are working correctly, if you have a stereo set-up on your Android device), or just check if you plugged in the headphones correctly without taking them off.
I made it strictly because of one silly thing that bothered me in all other such apps - they either had sounds transitions between left-right channels, or there was no way to toggle just a constant sound, so I could tinker with my faulty external speaker until I could hear the sound correctly. This app fixes both, and playing for instance the "left" channel sound will play sound ONLY 100% in the left channel, for as long as you want (if you toggle "repeat mode" 'on' you get a constant sound playing forever, until you stop it manually in the app).
Basically it's a perfect app for someone needing to tinker a bit with their stereo setup, and I added a Panda to release the tension of having a faulty sound set-up that needs tinkering with in the first place. The app is free, while I'd very much appreciate a rating on Google Play, it's ultimately up to your discretion as the app won't spam you with any sort of pop-ups.
Thanks guys!
