Can I disable Throw™ without root? - Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to disable it via App settings, but was unable to. is there any other way? Because I suspect it interferring with my bluetooth connected moto360.

Yes you can, I wrote a post about it on the other bluetooth thread here (and also on reddit [1]). I also use an android watch (LG Urbane), and before turning off Throw, the bluetooth was super flaky, and it also failed to connect to my car.

Thank you! I'm looking into it

Hey guys, sorry to re-awaken old thread... do you know if this is possible at all without root?

From the reddit link in the post before yours:
> Anyway, you don't need to root, but you'll need to get the adb tool
Now whether you can manage it is another question entirely...

Sorry, I totally posted in the wrong thread there... was meaning to post in the disabling HDCP thread lol

I had to reset my phone. New firmware and no longer able to hide using adb... This did the trick for me. I guess I have to reset again, then update firmware?

Use the bluetoth settings
You can also stop Throw from starting by just going into Bluetooth settings for the device and unchecking contacts and phone and just leaving media on.
It might work with phone on too I haven't tried but this works fine just for music on my BT speaker.
No more connecting then Throw interfering and loppong off the connection a second or two later.

Receiving files via Bluetooth without pairing?

Hello.
I was searching,but no success.
As we all know,that it is necessary to pair our Raphi with another device for file transfer via Bluetooth.
This is good idea indeed,but it is for me all the time annoying. I know,that WM is able to receive file without pairing,but I don't know,where to find the hack.
Anyone to help me disable pairing?
Thanks.
You can turn off need passcode in BT settings or use Obex Inbox
Did you meant this?
I have it disabled all the time.

Yes that's the one on receiving shouldn't ask to pair but on sending you'll find the other users phone needs pair as probably not WM handset without the function, if still having probs use the software mentioned as will bypass pairing and allow save to any location.
Thanks,it saves to SD.
Unfortunately it still ask for code,while receiving from unpaired device

Strange i'll check later when get time don't tend to use BT file transfer but on Kaiser have cooked in and transferring from gf's Excalibur didn't ask, i cooked in as the option to stop pairing wasn't there.
Least you can save to SD
Any news regarding this?
Nothing yet. My colleague's Compact V (Diamond2) doesn't ask for it. I'll check registry differences later.
Edited...
Tonight I received a mp3 file from my friend(was not paired before) and suddenly it doesn't ask for pairing and it stores the file without any questions. It was by using Obex Inbox software. I'll try it one again tomorrow.

[Resolved] [Q] Bluetooth Will not connect to gps on SII i777? (AOKP)

Hey all, this is my first post so if I'm doing something wrong here with posting please help me out.
I have recently flashed AOKP Build 36 onto my Samsung Galaxy S2 i777 (AT&T), and it works pretty great. It doesn't however connect to my car GPS that I hook it up to to play some tunes. I connect via bluetooth.
Heres what happens:
I go into the settings and click bluetooth. It shows me that my car stereo is there and connectable. I click it. It presses for a hot second, and then nothing happens. If I press it a few more times, it states that I have an invalid PIN to connect to it. Now I've been told that when I click on it, it should ask me for the PIN. It doesnt, it just does the above. I am brand new to ICS so perhaps I'm missing some setting somewhere.
So, on to the questions:
Is there a different place to enter the PIN before clicking on it?
Could this be a bug with the rom?
How do I fix it?
Thanks in advanced, you guys rock!
Additional info:
I got the rom from the samsung2root website. I cannot post links yet but hopefully its not to hard to find.
I have heard there are newer builds, but I am not sure they are available for my phone. The official AOKP website doesnt even list my phone as supported.
Just taking a guess here so don't crucify me if don't work have you tried changing the bluetooth settings as you're device might be on invisible check if it's disabled.

Lol, no its a good thought. I clicked on the make device discoverable button before trying to connect a few of the times, it didn't seem to help.
Alright, I figured it out. My car stereo was the issue. I had to re add my phone to the devices list. It thought with the new rom and all that it was a different phone.
Thanks anyway though guys!

[Guide] How to use Tasker to fix all calls being sent to Gear S3

The Problem: On many non-Samsung phones, all calls, even when answered on the phone itself, get sent to the watch's speakerphone, requiring the user to manually switch the sound back to the handset every time a phone call happens. As a side problem, the watch conflicts with other Bluetooth devices capable of of being used for calls, like car stereos and headsets. Several threads on xda and elsewhere discuss these issues; however, the only solution posted is to disable the "Phone Audio" profile of the watch in settings. This is sub-optimal because it completely disables the ability to use the watch as a phone speaker.
The Solution: I have put together a series of Tasker profiles and tasks that utilize the BlueTask plugin to control the connection of the Gear S3. A convenient detail about BlueTask's disconnection method is that it only seems to affect the "Phone Audio" component of the Gear S3, leaving all other functionality untouched during a call. I use the proximity sensor to determine whether or not the call is being made/answered on the phone itself vs the watch. The assumption is that if you leave you phone in your pocket, bag, or face down on the desk, then you answered the call via the watch. I understand this is not a perfect method for determining which device is answering the call, but it works pretty well in my testing. In addition, an exception is made for when a wired headset is hooked up to the phone, as one may leave their phone in their pocket while answering using such a headset. Finally, an additional profile I call the "Car profile" will automatically disconnect the watch and disable its Tasker profiles while connected to specified Bluetooth devices like a car stereo, Bluetooth headsets, etc.
Setup:
Re-enable "Phone Audio" for Gear S3 if you previously disabled it (Settings>Bluetooth>Gear S3)
Install Tasker (if you haven't already)
Install BlueTask
Go to Tasker>Preferences>UI>Beginner Mode. Disable it (if it is not disabled already).
Go to Tasker>Preferences>Monitor>Display Off Monitoring>Proximity Sensor. Set it to "Yes"
Download the Tasker project attached to this post to your phone
Import the project into Tasker (Press and hold the home tab in the bottom left corner of tasker and then click Import)
Enter the new "Bluetooth" project and open "Car Profile" in "Profiles"
Delete the Dummy MAC address in the Profile and replace it with the MAC addresses of any car stereos and/or bluetooth headsets you use with your phone. If you have multiple of such devices, separate each address with a "/" (the magnifier glass icon does this for you). If you have no such devices, feel free to disable or delete this profile.
Open "Disconnect Gear S3" in "Tasks"
Open the "BT Connection" action
Replace the dummy information with your Gear S3's Name and MAC address
Repeat steps 10, 11, and 12 for the "Connect Gear S3", "Car Mode", and "Exit Car Mode" tasks.
Complete!
Let me know if this works for you. Also, suggestions for how this project could be improved are welcome.
Its works fine on #LGV20 so no need for this fix.
Sent from my LG-H990 using Tapatalk
I've downloaded the project to my phone but when I launch tasker and try to import the profile I can't find the file, even though I can see it using a file explorer. I've changed the.Prj to .prf and Tasker sees it but when I try to import it it gives me an error that says the for contains multiple projects.
Any help would be appreciated, thank you

Is it downloading as a .prj or .prj.xml ? It should be the latter. If it isn't, rename it to have a .prj.xml extension. Otherwise, not really sure what is going on. I haven't had any trouble importing Tasker projects in the past.

Thanks for getting back to me. Im new with Tasker, the only reason I bought it was because of this issue and because I saw your post. All I needed to do was disable beginner mode in preferences, under Ui, and the house icon appeared, from there it was very simple to follow the instructions. Thank you for sharing your solution to this very inconvenient problem.
Once I get to test it ill make sure to give you feedback.

Thanks for letting me know about that, I'll add that to the steps.
Hi i downloaded the App but seems it doesnt work for me. I set it up according your instructions but still no change. But i háve an idea i spoted that when i make call from phone i háve an option to choose which audio divice to use if i select my phone it doest work but when someone picks up and then i select it it Works. So i am thinking is there a way to make this automatic? That once someone picks up a call that it select this option right after.
Added 2 screenshots one from the Standard run and one of the option to select an audio divice when making a call.
Thx for any help.
Edit: Works Now thx alot i had an incorrect name set for the device... i will test it if it works always but so far so good. thx alot

I wanted to use this system as part of the automation workflow. The problem is that, when dialing someone, it switches the audio output when they pickup, instead of during Phone Offhook (the moment you hit dial). As a result, I can't detect the actual moment the audio device is switched, so I disable the watch audio entirely to prevent it from from happening.
Hello guys. I have non rooted stock nexus 5x. I have followed steps from first post but I always get error (attached).
Please any ideas what's going on?
Edit: Sorry guys. Please ignore it. I have added wifi mac for gear instead of bluetooth mac. I'm going to test it.
I am trying to use this for my phone.
I opened the prj.xml in notepad, edited my MAC address and name of bluetooth for car and gear s3.
When i press the play button in the bottom left corner i get the error non-existing plug-in code type Action: 704475526.
Any idea what i can do?
Thanks.

Probably install Bluetask as per the instructions.
I solved the problem using Macrodroid.

Can you tell us, the other users, what you did to get it solved ?
As we are in a forum, others can benefit using your solution.
So please share.
I just got my Nokia 8 Sirocco, and I thought it was bad BT performance on my new device, when it probably is my Gear screwing me over. Thank you for this Tasker-project, I've just finished setting it up, and l am looking forward to seeing is effect!
Unfortunately, the macrodroid way don't work anymore for me.
Don't know why.
I am retrying the Tasker way. I get the error:
12.53.42/E FIRE PLUGIN: Connection / com.twofortyfouram.locale.intent.action.FIRE_SETTING: 8 bundle keys
12.53.42/E Connection: plugin comp: com.balda.bluetask/com.balda.bluetask.receivers.FireReceiver

Does anyone know what it means?
LE: When i am in the car i don't get this error. Everything seems to be with green dot. But the magic never happen. The tusker is not triggered. Should i make other settings to work?
I also tryed Bluetooth auto connect. Bad luck with that also.
Hi!
I've been meddling with Tasker for the past few days and discovered that choosing the Headset profile to connect to and disconnect from the Gear S3 works better for me.
I've started out with MehStrongBadMeh's guide and tasker xml file (many thanks by the way!), but found out my phone was unable to connect the Gear S3. It disconnected OK to connect the car bluetooth, but would not reconnect Gear S3. Running the task also gave errors as reported by few others on this thread.
But everything seems to be in order when Headset profile is selected for Gear S3. Will test out extensively and will report back if I need to change anything else.
I believe I created that xml was created before bluetask handled specific profiles, hence the need to explicitly set headset now. I don't actually use this profile anymore, as calls started being routed properly when I updated my HTC 10 to Oreo (and continue to be routed properly on my OnePlus 6).
Just wanted to say a massive thank you for this. I have just bought the Galaxy Watch and have a Samsung S6 Edge with lineageos. I was having the issue where everything was being rooted through the watch. Your guide has got this working as it was designed.
My notes would be for anyone trying this - do not change the device name as it doesn't seem to work (i am guessing this is referenced in other profiles) - just change the mac address to your watches Bluetooth mac address.
Any update on this I still get an Error 2 and it never seems to connect on its own to my car audio
Solved with MacroDroid:
Trigger: Call active (any contact)
Action: Kill application Galaxy Wearable
Constraints: Trigger fired Call active

New issue: Wifi randomly turninf off (without USB beeing disconnected) - PX5 MTCD

Hi there,
despite the issue, that my radio in disconnecting USB (incl. Wifi, randomly, especially when it is colder) - which I tried to fix by replacing the USB chip to a GL852G - I now have a new issue since some days:
Now, my radio also disconnects Wi-Fi randomly without turning on again, while USB itself is not interuppted.
That issue is very new to me.
I installed a newer MCU some days ago (3.13 and 3.17) as this fixed an issue with the Bluetooth App automatically opening at the bottom of the screen when making a phone call.
I did not went back to the previous MCU yet (which was a 3.04 I think), as I don't think the issue is related to this. After MCU upgrade, I didn't have the above mentioned issue since more than a week.
Anyone having a similiar or same issue?
Maybe anony can confirm, MCU > 3.x having a wifi issue?
Thanks a lot!
Christian
Hi Christian,
I had the same issue. In the beginning I was able to compensate the issue with an automation app. (If WLAN turns off -> Turn on) After some time I couldn't activate the WLAN at all without restarting the radio. At some point, I could not do that anymore. Then I looked for a working LTE-Stick, but quickly understood that there is NO working 4G-Stick. Only a few UMTS sticks work. Via XDA-Developer found out that there are 4G sticks that are recognized as USB-to-Ethernet devices. Then I bought the HUAWEI E3372 LTE Surfstick. However, this does not work out-of-the-box with the radio. After a lot of manual work and learning-by-doing (installing an unofficial firmware), I managed to make it work now. The only disadvantage is that I no longer have a hotspot for other devices in the car.
Best regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Appreciate your answer, many thanks.
I am running hal9k ROM. If you have more detailed instructions, it works be great if you could share them with me.
Meanwhile I am trying to get a replacement device, as it is still under warranty and was bought in uk.
Thank you!

Any chance of a link or hint of a guide to modify the E3372 stick?
Modifying E3372 was a tough stuff, actually. A lot of try-and-error. At one point I even thought to have bricked the stick.
Anyway, I got all information from following thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/an.../real-3g-4g-usb-modem-sticks-px5-px4-t3898344
On page 3, a link to a russian site is provided:
https://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=883219&st=3620#entry66908061
I do not speak russian, so I used the DeepL Translator in order to translate everything.
To sum up, you need to install a modified webui und firmware which supports ethernet-over-usb (CDC) mode. The Versions I am using are:
E3272s-153_Update_22.491.09.00.00_M_AT_05.10
WebUI 17.100.17.00.143
https://www.lteforum.at/mobilfunk/firmware-versionen-hi-non-hilink-e3372h-inkl-mod.2691/ is a good source for downloading the files.

Redmi Airdots 3 - Interferences

Hi, I've bought some Redmi Airdots 3 headphones, and I have problems using them. They have a lot of interference, mainly on the left one. Sometimes they work fine for a moment and I can hear ok, but it doesn't last long, and this makes it impossible to use them.
I've read on another post that something similar happens with Air Pods. I've tried some profile changes from developer mode, but nothing changes.
I've also tried using them without WiFi connection, whithout phone case and they still fail.
The better way I've found is using them with flight mode activated, and they work almost a 95% ok.
Do you have any idea what is happening? Or any sugestions?
Try completely unpairing the airdots, and then try connecting them to another device (preferably with Bluetooth 5.2)
This in order to discard that you're facing an issue with the airdots and not with your phone

I tried before post, I forgot. Unpairing was the first option, and other devices works nice.
I read about security patch update and after that other users have the same problem.

Try going to Developer Options/ Networking/ Absolute Volume.
Check if there's any change by enabling or disabling that option!

I enable absolute volume and it's still working bad. I test different bluetooth profiles on Developer Options when I play music. Sometimes can't hear anything. If I change, work again (Of course, with interferences).
It's my girlfriend's phone... I will try to install a new stock ROM. Do you think do any change? And what do you say about Lineage, I read something about changes on codecs... I can't find that post and I don't remember exactly what they say and I'm newbie in audio options :')
