[Q] Sensation and Bluetooth keyboard?

Anyone who has one, have you tried a BT keyboard out yet? I have a DHD which doesn't support one but was hoping the Sensation, with BT3, would.
Any information appreciated.
Dave

Hmmm. I know there aren't too many Sensations in the wild yet but I thought that someone might have tried a BT keyboard by now.... Is there any way to know if the BT 'HID' profile is on the phone? I believe that's the profile needed for a keyboard.
Any comments on this driver ... https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mymobilegear ... ? Seems to have mixed reviews in the market.
Also, what's the general consensus on BT with the Sensation for headsets and music streaming to, say, a car head unit? Any problems seen as yet? I ask as none of the reviews I've seen mention BT except to say 'it's supported'.
Thanks
Dave

Can't comment on Bluetooth keyboards, but i have used it in my car paired with my Sony car stereo and it works fine. Think that is using the Bluetooth headphone profile.

Thanks for that. Been doing some more digging to try to find out about keyboards. Seems my current phone "should" support a keyboard like the Freedom Pro which supports the SPP profile (also used for keyboards, as is the HID profile). See ... http://www.apt8h.com/Computer/Elect...st-foldable-bluetooth-keyboards-reviewed.html ... for a review and more details.
Then I had one of those doh!!! moments and checked HTCs website for the Sensation at ... http://www.htc.com/www/product/sensation/specification.html ... and down under Bluetooth we find ...
"... Bluetooth® 3.0
A2DP for wireless stereo headsets
FTP and OPP (object push) for file transfer
PBAP for phonebook access from the car kit
Other supported profiles: AVRCP, GAP, GOEP, HFP, HID, HSP, MAP, SPP, SDAP ..."
Seems I answered my own question However, the proof of the pudding and all that .... it'd still be interesting to find someone who'd had one working ...

That'd be great. Just to clarify though, I don't think it's the BT 3 that's the issue as prior BT levels had the HID profile with other phones. I think BT 3 itself is more about power savings. Why HTC decided to add the HID profile to this release, arther than earlier, is anyones guess. Be interesting to know that as well though .....

Any news guys? Got an MHL adapter the other day and want to use my phone almost as a light PC on my living room TV.

sorry that im late to the game guys but have tested an logitech mx5500 bt keyboard with my sensation and it works absolutely like a dream using bluezime or similar as this didn't work with the desire at all i hope that this answers every ones question about will a bt keyb work

Didn't see this thread as well.
I'm getting the i-Tech virtual bt kb that I used back in the day under the symbian platform on Sony Ericsson's but found that I can get the driver under mymobilegear.com to use the virtual kb again. I am stoked at this and report back if it works or not lol...

You should try the bluezime from the market, It's completely free and comes with a data dump(perfect for 90% of devices

mhl+keyb is amazing just wish i could get the zeemote js1 to work, constantly asks me to enter a passcode into the zeemote itself, which ofcourse only has 4 buttons no numerical input :\ silly htc with their bt stack problems, hey at least keyboards work now XD

Thanks I'll try it when I get the kb and report back.

So, final verdict? Which keyboard should one get if they want a mini keyboard that can fit in ones pockets?
Someone recommended me the Bluetooth mini keyboard. I want something small without paying the premium price of the Dinovo Mini

My Rii mini bluetooth keyboard works flawlessly with my Sensation. You don't need to install anything just search for devices and connect

bluezimie didn't work. Using keypro and so far so good.

i-Tech VKB and keypro
Update:
Been using the i-tech vkb for a day and so far ok for what it is. This virtual keyboard is what I remember it is to be since I used it with my old MW600 by Sony Ericsson running Symbian OS.
The app works great with this kb. Of course there will be miskeys due to the spacing of the kb and where your finger is pressed, but I get that anyway using the onscreen kb lol....
Anyway here are some pics I snapped. I know it's pretty bright in here. It's 105 here today! There's bound to be "SOME" sun lol

[Head Unit] XTRONS TD626A - 2DIN 4.4 Unit w/ Screen Mirroring

}
Vendor Specs:
Vendor Site:
XTRONS Website
Experience:
My Car:
KIA Ceed 2008
Installation:
Installation was pretty easy. Once I got rid of the middle console and removed the old Radio, the installation was easy. Stuff all the adapters (WIFI, 3G, GPS) where it makes sense and fix the Radio. You need a 2DIN Install-Cage for your Car, so get that ahead of time. I won't go deeper into the installation, there are numerous "how-to"s that do this way better than I can
Getting Started:
After the installation, the unit gives you no basic steps like you would assume from Android (the timezone, user, mail stuff). General Language is set to English, the Keyboard has an additional Asian keyboard as well so set this to your desired language asap. The unit is fast, the UI is well thought out for Car use. CD play and DVD (region 2, Europe) was no problem and also fast. I added another Bluetooth Adapter because the onboard bluetooth has the known limitations for this kind of head units (only phone connection) and I want to use my Bluetooth ODB2 Adapter.
Until now, I have only positive things to say about this unit. I had a China-Unit before, which broke down after a year of usage and where the hardware quality just wasn't good (wobbly buttons, display kept getting pushed in because it was not mounted correctly and so on). This has a good hardware quality (until now )
Over the next few days, I will configure the Bluetooth stuff and I will see how well configurable the hardware buttons are (for example: Start Spotify instead of the music app when I press on Music and so on).
If you also Plan to get an Android Unit and don't want to wait for Android Auto (and the fact that all units will start at around 1000 € probably ), this may be your unit.
They ship from the UK (even have a warehouse in Germany, where I come from) so if you are in Europe, you don't have to worry about taxes and so on. Also, shipping was very fast (like.. Amazon fast).
Please tell me your experience with this device
Additional pictures:

Spyware?
I have installed this unit this past weekend and I really like it. I have a question though about the possibility of having pre-installed spyware from the chinese on these android devices. How would I go about detecting the possibility that there is something lurking somewhere?

Hi, could you make a photo of your Settings->About screen? Would be curious about the system version and the MCU Version you have.
Does the radio already play when booting up or do you have to wait until the boot is completed?
Thanks!

I have the same unit and have been running it for a few weeks. I really like this head Unit and would very much like to root it as it does NOT come rooted. I would like a "safe" way to gain root access.

It is strange. On my old 4.4 unit it did work. On my new 5.1 I can use easy connect and play Netflix without any video. Sound comes through just fine. Now if I play Amazon video, it works. Not sure what the difference is.

Yup i also just get sound with error 0013
I have tried using older versions but it didn't work either

MTCD is broken in so many ways. The more I use it, the more it angers me. I'm starting to think all these units should be recalled and that it was a mistake to force 5.1.1 to run on the RK3188 processor. It clearly can't handle it.

Same here.. I wish I had a MTCB 4.4.4 instead of my MTCD on 5.1.1, I would have working USB Audio, Netflix, OBD2/torque..
I'm wondering if there is any way to install 4.4.4 on MTCD..?

There is not, and don't try, you will kill the board.

I am planning to buy a MTCD pretty soon. It looks like with all these issues it might be a better idea to get a MTCB. Is MTCD going to have a better stable environment in the future? Then i might get it, it seems like since MTCB has been out for so long, it has matured.

Its up in the air. From what I've read and been told, the engineers don't seem that interested in fixing MTCD. They aren't addressing the major bugs and the updates they have been releasing aren't very helpful. There is talk of them moving to new SoC altogether which would make sense as the RK3188 chips are very outdated. It seems to me that MTCD is just a stopgap, I honestly don't think its every going to work properly / reach the MTCB level of maturity.

Hmm that's interesting, new SOC would be good. I guess it's better off to get a MTCB with a 5.1 flash at least everything will be stable. I am going to put this stereo into one of my project cars which will be done by next spring so I still have time to see how MTCD matures. If there is a new SOC even better but if MTCD is still buggy and no new SOC comes out I might end up with a MTCB given there is still in stock.

anybody have a resolution for this yet? i assume it doesnt work on malaysks roms either... currently on a joying headunit. a bit frustrated - i wouldnt have bought this had i known it wasnt going to work.

It's probably DRM related, and soon a lot of Rockchip devices will not work at all with Netflix. They are also blocking you from installing it from the Play Store if you have a rooted device. I don't know what's going through Netflix CEO's head, but Netflix is going to lose a **LOT** of customers, but hey, maybe that's what they want? More than 50% of Android TV boxes are Rockchip and others are AmLogic and they will not support these either.
Code:
https://devices.netflix.com/en/
Only Chromecast (of course, it's Google), Apple TV, Roku, nVidia Shield, Amazon Fire and Nexus players are the only ones shown as compatible streaming devices.

Looks like it may have something to do with root also..

I have a Uconnect Head unit in my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee (It's actually the UAQ unit (2018 model)) and I have tried to play Netflix content to the head unit via Android Auto (Newest version in Play store) and AA Unlock and AA Mirror. I have used two devices which I describe below, but can not get video overlay to work. When I start Netflix on those two devices below, I see the menu, I can login, I see movie and tv selections, but when I start to play the movie, all I can see are the controls for the video. (volume, progression slider, etc.) but NOT the video itself. I can hear it. It shows fine on the two devices, but when linked via USB cable to Android Auto on the head unit. NO video. Amazon Prime video works fine, as does the DirecTV app, my plex app and others.
My two devices are:
A Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7" (Sprint version) running Lineage OS 14.1, unlocked and rooted. I am running AA Unlock, AA Mirror and the current version on Android Auto from the play store.
A Samsung Galaxy S5 (Verizon UNLOCKED) with Lollipop (Android 5.0) and rooted. I am running AA Unlock, AA Mirror and the current version on Android Auto from the play store.
BOTH will not play Netflix videos when connected. I can see the movie playing on both screens of the devices, but not to the head unit. I have tried different versions of Netflix (both from the play store and from direct downloads of the .apk). Nothing seems to work.
Some say that the Custom ROM is the problem, some say that the devices being rooted is the problem, but neither works.
Ideas?

THANK YOU. Was going to drive me nuts.

It works for me but it takes over a minute before it starts. The car does more see the device. Skoda Octavia Combi model 2018.
Anyone else has the same slow starts?
EDIT: fixed it! Disabling ADB debugging solves the delay (found out using logcat)

Works fine for me on 2018 Acura. Only issue, as referenced above, is if the notch is hidden, it cuts off the screen on the car's display.

Works fine in my [emoji176]Kia Rio 2018[emoji176]

Had to disable the notch hide... grrrr, works fine, not as snappy as my pixel 2 xl in android auto though, connected to 2018 Jeep

works fine on Chevy Volt 2017.

Yep is fine for me. Was tricky to initially pair but after I changed notch setting it worked. 2017 Mercedes.

Cool! I've never actually used Android Auto. (Mine's a much older system, so too prehistoric to have smart related stuff, but after seeing this, I'm now seriously thinking of upgrading). Does it give you access to all of the stuff on your android phone, or is it just basic stuff like syncing up music, etc?

Its a long-ish answer so just download the Android Auto app on your phone and see it in action. What you see on the phone running the app is what you see in the car (aside from integration with steering wheel buttons etc).

Work fine with Skoda Octavia 2018

It mostly works for me but I have to change the connection mode from USB charging to MPT every time I want to connect to my car. Otherwise, it won't detect the phone.
This is with a Honda Accord 2016. The car connection has the same issue with the OnePlus 3T but not with a Motorola phone that I tested.

Oh Ok, this sort of answers my question anyway. (so basically it's more of an app than a built-in full blown Android OS on a car stereo). In other words, limited features rather than a full OS.. Not alot of point for me then if that's all it does. (Mainly I would have used it for music and gps in the car, but I can already do that from my phone easily enough). But if it had been the whole Android OS that does literally everything my phone does, then that would have been totally worth it!
Thanks for the heads up though! What feature do you use yours for mostly?

Question Pixel 7 Pro Bluetooth Issues | Spotify | AirPods Pro2 and more

Hello everyone,
I can't establish a persistent Bluetooth connection with my Pixel 7 Pro and other devices like my car or AirPods Pro 2. The connection always breaks after around 60 seconds when a) listening to music with AirPods Pro 2 and b) listening to music in the car (Mercedes GLE 2022 with MBUX). Devices were already resetted, connections were re-established and all other steps from the Google instructions were followed.
Interesting: if the display stays on and the app is open, it works perfectly. Does anyone here have an idea?
More issues sind I have Pixel 7 Pro (with OnePlus it all worked):
Album cover for spotify songs are no more visible in the car
Update: "Disable Bluetooth A2DP hardware offload" helped at least for AirPods Pro 2. Now I need to get Spotify running with all metadata and art cover.

Here are two screenshots with Spotify open (you can see cover) and Spotify closed (you cant see cover).

Sounds like it could be a Spotify issue. I use USB Audio Player in my Jeep, Work vehicle(Ford Escape) and Audio Technics AZ60 earbuds. I listen to music for hours uninterrupted in all 3 situations.

Try changing the bluetooth avrcp version to 1.6 in developer settings, restart, and see if there are still metadata issues

I tried that and 1.4 but it was all still the same. Maybe do I need to do something additional? I also disconnected bluetooth and established a new connection.
The look changes when you have Spotify open and screen turned on and when you turn it off. It is so strange... Same goes for youtube music and other media apps.

I can't establish a persistent Bluetooth connection with my Pixel 7 Pro and other devices like my car or AirPods Pro 2. The connection always breaks after around 60 seconds when a) listening to music with AirPods Pro 2 and b) listening to music in the car (Mercedes GLE 2022 with MBUX). Devices were already resetted, connections were re-established and all other steps from the Google instructions were followed.
Interesting: if the display stays on and the app is open, it works perfectly. Does anyone here have an idea?
More issues sind I have Pixel 7 Pro (with OnePlus it all worked):
Album cover for spotify songs are no more visible in the car
Update: "Disable Bluetooth A2DP hardware offload" helped at least for AirPods Pro 2. Now I need to get Spotify running with all metadata and art cover.

I'm having some Bluetooth issues with my Pixel 7 Pro connection with MBUX.
A lot of times when I'm getting incoming calls, I can't answer them by pressing Accept on my MBUX screen. I see that that phone is connected otherwise the person calling name would not show up on my cars screen.
On MBUX I try to reconnect my Pixel 7Pro but it says connection failed on my car.
Anyone else having this issue with the Pixel 7?

No problems here so far with Bluetooth and Pixel 7 Pro. I'm using it together with Samsung Galaxy Buds and the Navigationsystem of my Hyundai.
Maybe check whether there is an Update available for your Mercedes Benz Navigationsystem?
In the past I had problems with my old OPPO Find X3 Pro and the Hyundai Navigationsystem. It was solved by a combination of updating the Navigationsystems Firmware and updating the firmware of the OPPO Device.
Good Luck.

No issues here....I have a 2020 Honda CR-V .
Spotify covers always show for me.
Airpods pro, sony BT buds work fine all day..
