I'm looking for information pairing bluetooth hearing aids with the 8T. Evidently there is something known as ASHA that the phone needs to be compatible with.
My problem is, I just got hearing aids for the first time and the app from the manufacturer connects fine to the hearing aids and allows me to control the volume but it does not stream audio to the devices.
Anyone with knowledge of this?
Go into accessibility, hearing enhancements, hearing aid support. Your Bluetooth should be on and link it to the device.
Does the aid manufacturer have an Android app?

They do have an Android app. I was able to find in the accessibility settings an option to enable hearing aids, but so far still no streaming audio.
Look in Developer options too.
Sound and connection settings.
Android tends to bury advanced settings well.

I think I'm finding out from the manufacturer of the hearing aids that it's only compatible with Androids with a separate device that goes between the hearing aids and the phone.
What do the specs for the hearing aid say?
There is only a small statement on the manufacturer's website that lists the devices they are compatable with and the 8T is in their list. It is compatable with their app that controls the volume of the hearing aids. But there is supposed to be more options like streaming media and phone calls. I'm just going to have to switch brands of hearing aids to one that works because I am not switching to an iPhone, I refuse!
You'll need to do some heavy reading to sort this out. I know very little of the protocols and what's available. Start doing searches and collecting links etc...
I am in the same boat - I have an Umidigi A9, and the Chinese devs have not yet included ASHA support (even though ASHA is available as of Android 10). I am exploring the possibility of rooting my phone to manually include ASHA support.
Do a Google search for "Android ASHA compatible phones" and see what devices your manufacturer supports.
Samsungs tend to have user and bt friendly/customizable UI's, however not sure if this extends to ASHA devices.

I already know my device is not officially compatible; my goal is to make it compatible.

You might find something specific for that device on the Samsung or similar forums.
The Samsung one is fairly large and occasionally helpful. Not the right manufacturer but it may give you some ideas.

Sorry for another response/question - the Samsung forum is HUGE, with a ton of subforums. Have any specific forum in mind that I can post to? I was not able to find a general Samsung forum - seems like I have to pick a specific product first.

Use Google search, that's what I do.
Just add "samsung forum" or such to the search.
Playing around with the search parameters may lead to other sites as well.
When I tried a search not a lot popped up, but I only tried for a few minutes.
Try this search if you haven't already: "One plus phone,ASHA (Hearing aids)"

Development thread for a software method to morph your voice during a phone call
The idea is to develop a software method which let's you morph your voice during a phone call. There are many ways to achieve this and I am amenable to suggestions.
Since I was not able to find any API which let's you configure the voice or the stream from the microphone or something similar I came up with the idea to write a driver for the microphone, which would give me the ability to change my voice directly within it, but after some research it was clear to me that it can't be that easy.
Updates:
05.05.2010 - Microphone driver solution died. Researching for a new way...
Windows Mobile doesn't seem to have any influence on the microphone during a phone call. Deeper research about the hardware of the phone is necessary (processors, DSP/MDSP,....).
HELP IS APPRECIATED AND ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE WELCOME
I will update this thread as some news appear.
Please write your suggestions and your ideas directly as post in this thread.
Good idea !
good luck , i'll watch this thread
You'll get a better response in this forum...

You've posted in a HD2 specific forum, but that one is specific to Windows Mobile software development.
Device specific
The reason why I posted it here is that I am going to develop the driver on this device (HD2 Leo) and because the only solution so far i figured out is developing a driver, which is device specific.
good idea, i have been after an app similar to the "i am t-pain" (autotune)app from iphone
please can you use autotune?
God speed to you good sir!

Fair enough, but surely it wouldn't be a device specific driver to do this? Never mind.
This will be great for extortions. The question is whether we can find a way to disgiuse the phone's ID and location (which can be found using cellular triangulation) otherwise we have achieved nothing here.
lol this would be a fun one... hopefully you can work some magic and create a special treat for us hd2 users

Autotune is an app for iphone, which obviously can't help us here.
In addition autotune doesn't morph your voice during a phone call.
The main problem here is not the morphing itself (such apps already exist for WinMo), but the fact that it needs to be done while you make an active call.

Live morphing during a active phone call would be nice..
There is a software name Voice Twister for Windows mobile which can do live morphing but not during active phone calls..

Hi there
the company that i work are developing an android based eco drive system. and i have been asked to do some research on it
the first obsticle we will face is actually connecting the device to the can bus. I have found a bluetooth however, im wondering wether this will work and wether there is a better way this can work
the system will have to work on almost any android device this is why i believe that the bluetooth system will be the best
also can any one direct me to a half decent Android dev site. i am a complete beginner with android development and really have no clue where to start and google is being proper vague
i hope someone can help :-S

Hey,
I have worked quite a bit with CANbus and I am aware that there are some good Bluetooth based solutions for linking to the vehicle.
Be aware though that CANbus is hit and miss with data and it is completely dependant on the manufacture what data is exposed to the CANbus, so certain vehicles may not have all the data you require.
As for Android development, best place to get started is the Androids own Reference, examples. I would post a link but I am new here, so just google Android Development and it'll be the top result.
Other than that I can only suggest googling/youtubing tutorials like with any other development.
Hi everyone,
As many of you would have known, despite USB Host functionality being present in ICS, USB DACs have yet to be supported on our devices. This issue has also been starred by more than a thousand people on Google's site but still has not been noticed. (Link here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24614&sort=-stars&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars)
Quoting a fellow XDA member: If Google did their work then we could use relatively cheap USB DACs with our Android phones and enjoy great music sound quality, no matter which cheap DAC/DSP the manufacturer has seen fit to include. Now with ICS this is a simple software fix, which makes it all the more irritating (someone has managed to add support for these in a Nook Colour kernel that works with CM9).
Right now, we can bring it up to a real Google Engineer while they visit my school (I have no idea how my school manages to be on such good terms with Google). All you need to do is help to vote this issue up so it gets the first pirioty to be asked. Perhaps then, we will get a chance to put the spotlight on our issue.

Can I give it more than one vote? haha ):
It would be nice to have DAC/AMP support on Android by default.
Hi buddy,
thank you for the information and discussion! I'm more of a business head than engineering but I am a lossless guy who loves his media players. Can you tell us more about what kind of things would be possible if Google enables this support?
So I am going to post this here, because the development section is ferboten to people trying to offer useful suggestions. Geez, I hope this is the right section.
Let me set it up. ANDROID IS BASED ON THE LINUX KERNEL. Everything, and I mean everything after that fact becomes android and bloat. Given this as the basis of all things android, I have a simple set of guidelines that should be used to create a solid, reliable, bullet proof operating system for devices able to use the android operating system.
#1. Create the kernel boot section of the basic platform that supports the very basic hardware features, including touch screen, radios, power/charging/battery management, wifi, bluetooth, nearfield, audio, microphone, s-pen,etc. Basics only. Root access is standard and can be turnd on/off just like developwer functions. No special tricks or addon hoops to jump through.
#2 At this point STOP. Every single process or service to be run on the device from this point forward should be able to be individually selectable - or not. Yes, I understand that individual services or apps may have dependancies to other processes and that thouse need to be functional in order for a particular app to work. That is why, each additional service or app must list the dependencies and in the selection process, the installion will be required to verify you have the proper services installed and functioning, if not to list them and allow you to make the decision to proceed. Viola, we have NO MORE BLOAT WARE.
#3 Make selecting additional services/apps selection process a menu driven, tag selectable process. Make the unselection process smart to verify and identify the other apps dependant on the item you are killing/removing.
#4 Allow a built in snapshot option to capture the entire system as you have customized it for yourself and allow it to be backed up to external memory with the ability to bring it back, AT WILL. With no big hassles.
Those 4 items are a good start. By themselves alone, it would put all of us in the drivers seat of controlling and living with our devices.
I am aware that such a system is not for everyone. It does require some basic technical understanding of the process. But for the vast majority of users, I am certain, that an a la carte system is far superior to the bloated monstrosities being forced down our devices.
I would appreciate any refinements to my suggestions.
The silence is deafening. It has been days. Kind of says something, don't you think?
I am so very happy (not) that these boards a compartmentalized to the point where you can't get through.
Pretty much a waste of my valuable time, especially considering the fact that if my suggestions where applied, people would be clamoring for an installation with those features. I guess there is not much true "developer" in xdadevelopers anymore.
Funny guys, with the pay to remove ads spam here. Really? Why? For what.
I leave here disappointed. Not angry. Just sad.
I'm not a developer so I have nothing valuable to contribute to your suggestions in your original post but I can offer an observation regarding your perception of the level of contribution to your thread and that is the fact that is particular area of the forums probably isn't the ideal spot to have a discussion such as this. You figured that out already so sure you can call me Capt. Obvious if you wish but I'm just pointing out that yes the forums are compartmentalized (as you've stated) in such a way that development for each device is separated out. This development is centered around AOSP based ROMs or "stock" ROMs (using manufacturer released source) so if you're looking to have higher level discussions about what AOSP should look like then deep down at this device specific level probably isn't where you want to be. So there's that . . . then there's the fact that for this particular device you can basically hear a pin drop in the sub-forums as it is since nothing much is going on by way of development.
Where specifically such a discussion would see more input I'm not sure, perhaps the main general discussion section?
Thank you for your sobering reply. I get frustrated. Already had my post bounced out of "wrong" forum while trying to speak directly to "developers" (i wanted air quotes because the term does not accuratly describe its target) So I tried this. The note pro 12.0 is still the best hardware giving the ipad a run for its money. The problem its monkeyshines kiddie software running it, or not running, or barely running it. ANDROID, indian word for crappy wannabe software, developed by clueless kids.
Again, thanks for the gentle nudge. I appreciate someone willing to conduct a conversation
Are you looking for an Ubuntu or SUSE type of setup?
I think what you are looking for is similar to apt-get type of installs, I could be wrong of course. This might be helpful for many "users". I think one of the barriers is that there are slight differences between the models of tablets, and creating the logic to put in for the sub-dependencies might prove problematic. You might get more answers to this possibility by asking one of the developers directly and sharing with them. Not a developer myself.
So i just was curious about something i have a couple of questions but I am going to be adding my question to this form relating to android administration editing and commands.
What is Null integrity on/off for?
RCC Version Setting?

WOW... It's been quite some time since I've heard of these. I haven't referenced/looked at those settings myself in a while as well. LOL!
I'll try to clarify them based upon memory...
1) I believe that the "Null Integrity" ON/OFF option basically controls the devices capability for Emergency Calls.
2) I think that the "RCC Version Setting" is the settings that is tied to the Remote Controls that are tied to the transport controls regarding items like showing the the metadata for certain images & media alike.
I believe that the first one is more accurate than the second because the term of "RCC" was used on a few different fronts with a slightly different meaning.
Maybe someone like @osmosis or even @Droidriven can help with this a bit further (or refer it to a more appropriate member) as, I may be correct about them both but, I may be wrong regarding the reference/application your asking about.
Good Luck!

Null integrity related to JAVA, that's a bit deeper down the rabbit hole than I'm familiar with, that's developer level stuff and I'm not a developer or experienced with JAVA.
I believe RCC version refers to a resource compiler tool as discussed in the link below.
https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/rcc.html
I could be way of base though as I'm not familiar with development and its processes.
This is something that can best be answered by an experienced developer that is versed on these subjects.
