Yes. But most stuff works for me, that's how I roll...

Pretty sure I fixed this in my rootfs a month or so ago, the headset keymap needs to be present and the autobuild rootfs hides it. Dunno when those guys will merge these fixes.

hrm
I might be jealous.
But just so i understand right, more has to be done then what is over in the xda post to get BT working? I can wait just verifying

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

Maybe. I haven't tried a vanilla FRX06 install in ages, so I'm not sure which of the couple hundred things I've patched since FRX06 is responsible.

The kernel has had support for bluetooth for a couple of months now. I.e., driver level support. The device and driver also need proper firmware; the thread over at XDA just tells how to get the firmware loaded. Beyond that, it's up to the Android userland, which has has had full A2DP/AVRCP support since back in the Cupcake days. From what I've read, it may also depend on which Music player you use, or how many you use. Only one Music app can be set to receive the AVRCP commands, and each app is configured differently. If you have a bunch of different music apps installed, you probably need to remove all but one of them.

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

OK, yeah, I fixed this in my rootfs a while ago.

xda-developers - View Single Post - F22's Latest Rootfs (Apr 19th, 2011) Highlandsun's RIL Support Patches Merged + More

/system/usr/keylayout/AVRCP.kl gets hidden by the current autobuild rootfs, so none of the AVRCP commands are recognized.

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

So has there been damage done? or can i use your rootfs and it should be good to go?

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

Anyone else notice any GPS oddities after the BT fix? Namely when I attempt to use running applications such as Run.GPS or Endomondo, neither will get a good GPS satellite fix now. Just begginging to wonder if the things that plagued WinMo (audio breakup/loss/BT disconnection while tracking using GPS) are cropping up in Android with BT (A2DP) and GPS at the same (albeit the other way around in Android - BT works well, but GPS loses fix).

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

I haven't tried both at once but it wouldn't surprise me if the radio signals interfere with each other. GPS signals are extremely weak, and the receiver can easily be swamped if the other radios aren't Just Right...

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

Are you saying with the Bluetooth fix, but with Bluetooth off, you are no longer able to get a GPS satellite fix. If so, just to check, you've run QuickGPS in WinMo right?

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

Not to hijack this thread..... but I think I found out that my GPS issue isn't related to BT.

I CAN get a GPS fix with BT on and off, but lose it as soon as the phone sleeps and then the program that I'm using won't get a fix thereafter (when I wake the phone back up). Guess I just need to find a keepalive type of app or fix that will allow GPS to stay on even when the phone sleeps.

-update- Found a program named Tracker Booster (keeps GPS alive even when phone is in sleep), just run it after you launch your running app. Okay now no more posts about GPS in this BT thread. :)

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

FRX07 is awesome! I didn't have to do squat and my BlueAnt X5i A2DP headphones worked. The headphone jack even works too.

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

The bad news: I guess I didn't fare so lucky. I installed FRX07 this afternoon on a reformatted 8gb SD from the bundle and from the quick instructions. I can't get Bluetooth to turn on at all. When I go into communications settings and press "Turn Bluetooth on", it pauses for a long time and then goes back to the same menu. Disappointing considering all the folks who talked about the pre-FRX07 activities solving this problem. If I can get past this problem, I have my A2DP Plantronics Voyager Pro+ headset ready to test.

The good news: FRX07 is far more capable and stable than was FRX06. Installation was without an event. I can do many more complex things without the spontaneous reboots. Nav works now (as obviously does GPS). Going in and out of Internet is stable, before and after phone calls and messages (all of that was a mess before). A bunch of Marketplace games now install and operate correctly that did do so not before. My mobile banking program (BofA) now works correctly.

Just a few days ago prior to FRX07, I resisted the urge to upgrade to an HTC Incredible 2 or a Motorola Droid X2, but I said to myself ... no ... I'd rather donate the upgrade price to XDAndroid instead ... selfishly because I really like the HTC TP2 ... and unselfishly because I really like what XDAndroid does for people by people!

If any one who knows the answer can point me to the way ahead for BT, that would be wonderful! 8)

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

Is BT on in WinMo? For some reason the state of BT in WinMo seems to have drastically negative effects of BT in Android. Several people have said either make sure BT is disabled in WinMo prior to booting Android, or simply put WinMo in airplane mode...

However, I did say in the caveat list that even tho BT works, it pairs... it won't pass/route audio correctly to the headset/headphones. I don't know why some people say it's working and others can't get it to route - I was in the latter group - my headset pairs, but no audio passes. So even if you do get BT to turn on and pair, don't expect audio to pass...

Good luck!

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

Yes BT *was* on in WinMo. I turned it off and then rebooted into Android. Yes you were correct that this will cause BT to work and to pair. However, it does trigger voyager-pro+ audible prompts, such as "Phone 1 connected" or "Loss of connection", but it does pass audio *content*. When calling, pressing the "Bluetooth" soft-key lights it up, but does not channel the audio content to the headset. Also, the speaker key lights up, but does not turn on the speaker. In all of those cases, the content is only audible in the phone earpiece.

Then, when I turned BT back on in WinMo, BT was no longer active in FRX07.

Best,
Paul

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

All of that is as expected.

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

I'll contribute another 50 dollars for a functioning A2DP BT, and all the test information that I can !

Paul

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

Please let me know what I can test and what kind of information you need in the process ... I can be very thorough and precise if it is called for.

Paul

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

My previous post was regarding a Plantronics Voyager Pro+ (A2DP).

When I return home next week from vacation, I will try my Plantronics Voyager Pro (not +), which is not A2DP, and will report the results.

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

Thanks for the new FRX07 with BT. I have not changed the rootfs and kernel.
My Sennheiser VMX100 is working well, but
my Sony Ericsson Liveview MN800 Application 1.0.A.0.18 is crashing bluetooth.
If I install and start the (free) liveview app from the market, bluetooth is switching off and on all the time until I kill this app. The liveview is not paired at this time.

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

I wouldn't expect something advanced like liveview to work at all. Thanks.

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

I think, it is not impossible, because LV is running on all other android phones, f. i. HTC HD2 (Leo). There is only a bad program (liveview app) that is crashing the bluetooth stack.

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

I'd say you'll need to sort out the 'why'. Logs are going to be required.

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

I have already uploaded logs (0 views).
You can find it in the linked posts:

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

Didn't realize you took so many logs - there's no bug for this on the bugtracker...

Edit - a lot of the logs also appear to be from FRX06... which you manually enabled BT on I assume?

Edit 2 - Hrm. Definitely see some serious failures there. Open a bug on the tracker, assign it to jb if you can... not sure if you'll be able to assign it to him or not, but he needs to look at this for sure.

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

Yes, I have the most logs from FRX06 with the manual BT-changes for rhod (for BT on Diam100 is no change required) and one from FRX07. I think, there is no difference.
I have no idea, how I can add something to the bugtracker. If I find enough time tomorrow, I will take a look at the bug-tracker.
Thanks.

---Edit---
I have tried, to add it to the bugtracker and hope it is in the right section.
http://bugs.xdandroid.com/show_bug.cgi?id=143
It was not possible, to assign it to jb, because I do not know his address. (jb@xdandroid.com is unknown)

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

Yea, I saw the bug on the tracker. I don't think jb has a XDAndroid email... I'll see if I can assign it to him, thanks. I just want him to be aware of the issue...

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

Not sure if anyone is still looking at this thread but I put some of my findings for in-call routing for BT together over at XDA...

Good Luck! Hope it works for others...

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

I'll try it today. What headset are you using? I'm using a Motorola Roadster and I'll give it a try in a couple of hours and report my findings

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

I am using the Motorola H710, but I've done it with my cars BT connection too... Just a little more cumbersome to do so I've stayed with the Headset...

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

I couldnt get it to work on mine. It seems like my bluetooth has trouble staying paired. :(

FRX7.1 and BlueTooth
 

I can say that FRX7.1 right out of the box works with A2DP and regular BT Headset, but the couple really odd things are:
Jawbone has to be re-paired every time I boot back into Android (no bigge really)
Jawbone once paired doesn't initially route call audio (while in call with BT selected as output, if I dis/re-connect headset call audio will route only while in the that call, each new call has to go through the same steps)

Anyone have any ideas as to why this is or how to fix it (I'll gladly take the latter over the former, ha!)

Once again, not complaining. This has become quite incredile that my TP2 is running Android well enough to use it quite regularly!

Re: FRX7.1 and BlueTooth
 

BT isn't fully functional, as is well-documented.

You can try to do the tricks in this thread, but it's not without problems.

Re: FRX7.1 and BlueTooth
 

Actually I realized all that, just posting in this Froyo BT thread to see if anyone has found any work arounds or if I need to only do a piece of what is in this thread.

Thanks!

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

Just giving a tip for those still trying to use BT headsets with FRX07. The easiest way to get audio to route is to simply make a call then turn your BT headset on and the audio will route, once you hang up turn off your BT (repeat process while in call for it to work). Sometimes it becomes necessary to un/re-pair your BT headset, don't know why.... It's all good if you can work around the quirks! I'm quickly learning to just deal with it because it might never get fixed.

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

Hello everybody.
I am going mad with this BT issue.
Since i successfully ported Froyo 7.1 to my TP2 it is 2 weeks I've been reading here and in xda-developers.
Can somebody tell me what to do to listening to the music by Stereo headset?
I am quite experienced in linux, but in xda site thread is mixed with froyo 6, and I am confused what really to do in froyo 7.1 to get it work.

Should i do everything in post 1 and 2 in this thread: [TESTING] New audio routing for Froyo - xda-developers

Can somebody make step by step instruction for FRX07.1 ?

Tnx.
Mac

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

BT isn't stable. Neither is that audio routing code. You can try it (the steps are still valid) but you WILL run into problems.

There's another thread -
[Testing] Bluetooth Audio Routing FRX07 XDAndroid - that doesn't use the new acoustic code, and supposedly it works.

I don't use BT, and if I did, I probably would have to switch to WinMo in order to properly use it. It was only just enabled, and as such there's still issues with it.

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

Please see my post above. Quit trying to force something that doesn't work yet... It's not worth the time or effort, unless you're actually writing code to fix it.

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

I know it is not easy and that's why I want to do it, Im not normal user, if something working just like that there is no fun.
I want to lear more by the way. I couldnt post on xda so I am trying here.

Will answer to myself anyway, I found there is no device /dev/htc-acoustic in my unit.
As far as I know linux it cannot be copied just like this, will try to find how to do it.

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

If you follow the "other" thread that doesn't use the new acoustic, you don't have to worry about that... or about using a specific kernel, etc...

Re: Bluetooth and Android?
 

:angel4:Damn my BLUE TOOTH WORKS GREAT!

Just can't decide if the 7 build or the 7.1 works better...
Hmmm... take my low end house brand Best Buy 3 year old stereo BT headset, hit my BT toggle switch, pairs up, hold the button on side & a voice asks me what I want to do...

So, I say Play me some music meistro, tunes rock'n... volume up & down on headset, next song last song....

Hold the side button down on Lcheapo BT headset, a voice asks me... I say "call wifey" dials her up, she's grumpy, use the same button to hang up ASAP & the tunes switch songs I hear something about whiskey & beer!

Just gotta love this 7.1! I'm going to start a thread with some stuff soon... it's just too perrrrrrfect.

Still can't find anything that doesn't work! Oh yea, smoken 5 mb SD cache, over 10mb write, & 16 read! lol

OC'd @ 748, just blows my mind how fast this is. Going to switch better 1/2 to Droid full time this week.

I wonder if a post can do multiple mentions of the same person & count it... hmmm
