Not sure how to best ask/explain this but here it goes...
Let say there is an android app that uses some hardware through the phones micro usb port. Hardware only sends data to the phone TX, and the phone receives it and the app interprets it.
I was wondering than would it be possible to take that same hardware, connect it to a simple cheap bluetooth transmitter and just receive the same information via bluetooth?
Would the app still receive this data? Or would the app have to be redesigned to listed for it on bluetooth and not micro usb? Or would this just happen automatically?

So I connect my device to my PC via active-sync.
Then using a desktop app, I can select contacts, send sms messages and phone people using my pc headset
You may need to provide more information on both the type of headset you are using, your OS and also what type of phone your are using.
For instance, if you are using a bluetooth headset, and syncing via bluetooth, you may have a bit more to fiddle with than a wired headset to a cradled phone.
So, provide a bit more info.
No I mean the PC headset - so plugged into the line-in/mic jacks. The bluetooth connection is to connect the device to the PC.
Basically I want to make calls from my pc - using my phone as the "line".
This may be the way, I hope:

you can control pdas through pc and some allow you to see and download your sms but I am not sure about phone operation.
I'm hoping someone here can shine a little light on this. My car's receiver is a Pioneer DEH-3100UB, which includes a USB port and is designed specifically to connect an iPod via special cable or any Class 1 USB storage device. The Pioneer will not detect the G1, as other people have discussed on a bunch of car audio and other forums. The interesting part is this: If I take the Micro SD card out of my G1 and connect it to the Pioneer via a USB SD card reader, the card is fully readable. I've tried all sorts of suggestions from enabling/disabling USB debugging, to creating a shortcut to the SD Card via AnyCut and checking off the use as mass storage device option. People are not having this difficulty with other receivers including a usb port.
Obviously I'm not looking for help with the Pioneer, but I am very curious what the heck happens when you tell the G1 to mount. What does it do that makes it differ in any way from a 'Class 1 USB device?' Is there a way to alter what the hell happens when you connect the G1?? Is the G1 not really a Class 1 USB device?
Why was rooting/JF so much easier than hooking up to my car stereo
Sounds like a driver problem. Just about any card reader you install has to have drivers of some kind. Maybe the OS on the car stereo doesn't have drivers that support the card reader built into the G1? Just a thought.
by class 1, do you mean USB 1.0 ?
coz the G1 has a USB 2.0 port. and as any usb 2.0 device, it is supposed to be backward compatible. The only issue is the speed as it will connect at the lower speed.
Just wanted you to know its not just pioneer. I have a Clarion VRX785BT, and it too cannot connect to it It makes me sad. HOPEFULLY I can get BT audio streaming working as it does support bluetooth audio...
What happens ON THE PHONE when you plug the USB cable into the Pioneer? When I connect mine, it comes up with a notification (USB Connected) and I can choose Mount which switches over to the Mass Storage driver. Have you done that? Just a suggestion, because I can't think what else it could be,

Correct. It's not always the phone. Realize that some of the world has not caught up to the fact that the G1 exists.
The G1 is a usb 2.0 device !!!
Please note: USB 1.0 or 2.0 (speed ratings) have nothing to do with the OP's issue.
Class 1 is a certain type of connection, not the speed.

The G1 only support Headset and Hands free BT profiles - neither are what you need for streaming (quality) audio over BT. We'll have to wait for a BT update with A2DP profile - The Cupcake update (if it exists) is rumored to include A2DP

This isnt going to fix this problem, but just buy a cheap auxiliary cable and mini usb to 3.5mm converter, and plug it in through the aux jack on your head unit. Thats how i play the music on my G1.
Is there a way to alter what happens on the phone when it detects a USB connection, modify the usb driver, or something else totally ridiculous to get the damn thing to work?
I have a MyTouch 3G that I rooted and run Cyanogen on.
I recently got a new G2 (hate that its not perma-rooted yet) and have my SIM card in it.
So... what cool things can I do with my old MyTouch without cellular data connection (besides the obvious mp3 player, gaming device, etc)? Its a small computer with usb, bluetooth, wifi, gps, and a camera.
Some ideas:
Is it possible to make it a bluetooth receiver for music? If so, I could have it permanently hooked up to a car stereo via 3.5mm cable and then other things could connect to it via bluetooth. This would be useful for my parent's RV which has an aux input but no bluetooth.
Can turn it into a security device and stream video?... either stream it to another computer on the network which runs a webserver, or run a webserver on the android device itself?
Can you turn it into a USB trackpad to plug into any computer?
I know you can plug the phone into a computer and it appears as external storage, but can you plug external storage into the phone? Could I buy a huge 1Tb+ external hard drive and let this thing be a fileserver (or anything a SheevaPlug / PogoPlug can do?)
Can it become a wireless repeater?
Is anybody doing any of these things now?
What are you doing with your old device?
I expect ROMs out there geared towards a single purpose as more and more people get Android devices then upgrade to newer Android devices.

If only someone would come up with a more ready-to-go solution...
Nothing under his g1 folder.
This fails...

Hello Everyone,
I'm going to try to keep this short and to the point. I'm not having an issue, just looking for input to help me get the most out of the configuration I setup.
I have a Pioneer Appradio 3 in my car that does not have the ability to read directly from a usb flash drive, where I hold all of my music. Instead the music resides on my HTC One, with 32gb of storage. I have well over 32gb so to make this work I created a small box with a Raspberry Pi that acts as a ad-hoc network and shares any usb hdd or thumb drive i plug into it. I then mount the network share on the HTC One to the USB folder on the phone so that music apps see it as a attached storage device. This works beautifully.
However, in the process of doing this I lose data on my phone because it is connected to a wifi network with no data, i.e. the Raspberry Pi. Is there a way to keep mobile data while connected to a network with no data? I know this is physically possible because the wifi radio stays active with data when creating a hotspot....which was the original way I was accomplishing this. However, this is no longer an option because I am using miracast to communicate with the app radio over HDMI.
For anyone that is interested the Raspberry Pi is being controlled by a simple relay and USB power source.
Thanks everyone!
Have a question for you smart folks. So I've run into this problem of not having a mic for my pc so bought a dongle and it doesn't work and got me thinking, must be an app for that so I looked and found the only one out there is a virus on the PC client side (won't mention names) So I'm wondering, are we able to like maybe make a midi connection through USB PC to the phone and the phone can send the audio/mic to my headset and completely eliminate the none reliability of said bluetooth dongle? I meant there has to be a way somehow if it is plugged in via USB correct?

If it was not WO mic app, check this: https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/use-smartphone-windows-microphone/
There are several tutorials on youtube how to connect the mobile phone as microphone to your PC using this app.
