I have a Gigabyte phone GSMART GURU G1. Its maximum licenced version of SW is Jelly Bean v. 4.2.1
I have just bought a heart-rate belt with bluetooth option to connect it to my android mobile phone. Because I did not read the specifications before I bought it I did not see it is only compatible with Android version 4.3 or higher (something to do with "Bluetooth low energy" stuff...) When I tried to connect it, the bluetooth device just wasnt found. I tried it on my girlfriends phone who has 4.4 android and it connected perfectly...
So when I checked my phone specs. I saw that I have 4.0 Bluetooth so the phone is able to read connect with it - the problem is that there is no newer version of android coming out for my phone therefor I can not ever connect it...
My question to you is if there is somekind of app that would just "UPGRADE" my bluetooth so it could connect to this heart-rate belt for running? It is really not that old phone and so I do want lose guaranty with rooting it (neither I think there is some confirmed program for it)....
Do you have any sudgjestions for me?
Thanks
So really no one can give me an answer?!

I have the same issue with my Desire S. Connection but no audio. I contacted HTC about it and they say the bluetooth setup is different to previous phones so I should contact the makers of my bluetooth device to get an upgrade of their firmware.
Would it not be possible to extract the software relating to bluetooth from an older ROM?
Would it work?
Honeycomb 3.x

I want to buy a cardio monitoring chest belt. I only find "bluetooth smart" products, but it seems that the one mini bluetooth 4.0 is not "smart"...
Do I have to expect a compatibility issue ?
Do you know if since the OTA update to android 4.3, the bluetooth technology of the phone has became smarter ?
Thanks for your advices

My understanding is "smart" in this case means Bluetooth Low Energy [BLE]. Qualcomm SOC used inside our Mini doesn't support BLE. That said some Samsung and many Xperia phones support BLE (or maybe ANT directly) probably by the means of dedicated chip.
I have got myself Polar Wearlink Bluetooth (http://www.polar.com/en/products/accessories/Polar_WearLink_transmitter_with_Bluetooth) and it works well with the Mini.
The best way to get an answer is
Thanks for you answer. I think the best way is to test a "bluetooth smart" device.
Thats what I'm going to do, and I will feed you back.
theoretically after 4.3 smartbluetooth works , im flashing the 4.3 ROM later on today , Ill see if it works , I have a mio alpha watch .lets see if finally works with endomondo
Good news, our phone is smart !
OK guys, it works. Tested with Runalyzer Blue heart rate monitor, and with Runtastic app.
The connection is quickly established and steady.
The bluetooth chipset is compatible, and the upgrade to Andoïd 4.3 is mandatory.
Thanks for your replies.
Hello!!!
I just found an old Tab-72 maxwest tablet by a company called telecom. it has an android 2.1 OS which I want to seriously upgrade cause it has some strange bugs in it.
It has a built in HDMI port, USB port and other good things for a tablet so old. I think I can even make phone calls with this thing.
I just want to know how I can Fully upgrade this thing as far as I possibly can.
Thanks!
