[Q] Bluetooth question - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to use the app Bluetooth GPS to connect my Nexus One running CM7 to my Gtab running TnT Lite 4.4 for navigation fun. Both devices will pair with each other but when I click gtab in my N1's BT settings nothing happens. For all my other devices the N1 starts connecting w/ no problem.
If I click my N1 in my gtab's BT settings it only asks if I want to unpair. For my other device on my gtab it will also start connecting no problem.
So I am confused as to why the 2 remained paired but won't connect. Is it because Android sees both devices as "phones?"
In the app's reviews someone named "Art" said Bluetooth GPS was the only app that connected his gtab and phone.
Thank in advance for the help!

bluetooth headset?

Hi,
I've been running vegan 5.1b happily for sometime (and 3.0 etc before). Everything works, except for bluetooth headset connection: GTab keeps saying that it pairs with my device but it's not connected. I searched the forum but I couldn't find any solution; any suggestion?
Thanks!

I use one all the time with Beta5.1. Will your headset connect with other stuff?
mine will show as "paired" but that does not mean its connected at that moment.
Flick on your wifi settings go under blue tooth, click the head phones and MAKE it connect.
let us know if that works.

I have two BT phones and a BT headset (samsung WEP460). The headset does connect to the phones so at least the headset works.

My Gtab with vegan 5.1b does pair with all three BT devices but it won't connect. I long-pressed the headset icon on the Gtab to bring up the options; I clicked both "connect" and "audio devices" but it does not do anything.
I was on TnT Lite 2.2 before switching over to vegan (3.* and now 5.1b), and back then I was able to use BT to transfer files between my phones and GTab. Did something happended in between? (I did not try BT in vegan 3.*)
Thanks!

Anybody got the Bluetooth working with vegan 5.1?
I am having same issue. I think it might stem from not being able to enter the pair code into GTablet? The direction for my headset say i must type in 0001 on my phone after pairing. GTablet does not seem to have any way to do this.
Any Ideas?
For what it's worth, I haven't had any issues using my Rocketfish BT headphones with Vegan 5.1.
I use a Sonorix BT adaptor with regular sound isolation ear buds on vegan 5.1. It works great!
Pair then go into tablet bt settings under wireless.
Then.....
Pandora or Rhapsody while surfing or kindle reading.
I'm having the same issue with 5.1.1. Can't connect my motorola headset or my wiimote. They pair, but nothing will stay connected. Manually forcing a connect through the menu doesn't seem to do anything.
Likewise, I've got a Motorola H17 that connects fine with my Razr and N1 but woun't connect with my Vegan 5.1.1 with Clemsyn v8. Pairs correctly but no connection.

Replying to own post.
Just found Clemsyn's v9. Same thing. Still no connection.
It seems to be an issue with the tablet using VEGAn 5xx because I have that problem too yet no one had a solution so far, or at least no one posted a solution.
I have a Jawbone and my computer and both are paired but not connected. I did connect the Jawbone to my phone so the problem is not with the Jawbone but with the tablet.
Same issue here. I have tried quite a few different bluetooth devices with the same outcome. Can pair (or so it says) but unable to connect. No options found to force it.
Vegan 5.1 here also no bluetooth. Getting "Paired but not connected"
Anyone have a work around for this? Would love to ditch my USB cable to transfer files

You can transfer files wirelessly using an app called file expert. It creates a web site or ftp site with your wifi connection. It is not a fix but at least a work around.

Same here, I have a plantronics bluetooth headset that is "connected" but no sound, and make the tablet no sound also, have to reboot to get sound work again.

Motorola s10 HD works fine withvvegan 5.1.1

BT-339 Connect Issue

I had an OnCourse BT-339 hanging around in the house. I used it for my Dell Axim 51v. So I thought I would give it a try connecting to my gtab. I have read many posts about connection issue but can't find one specific to my issue. I cannot get the gtab bluetooth to pair with the gps. I tried my bluetooth headset and that connected fine. Is my gps unit outdated or am I doing something wrong.
I just paired my OnCourse BT-339 with my Nook Color running CM7 RC4 so it should work for you as well. I had to download an app from the marketplace called "Bluetooth GPS". Just download the app and launch. If no devices are paired it will take you to the pairing screen, this time it should pair (I too could not pair before downloading this app even though I could see the BT-339 in the list of BT devices). Once paired, it should show the BT-339 in a pull-down list. Just hit connect and it should connect.
Hope it works.

[Q][View] Bluetooth Issues

I have two Bluetooth issues with my View. I am currently running stock, but rooted Honeycomb, but had the same problems with stock, but rooted Gingerbread as well.
1. Tethering
The first is using Bluetooth for tethering. When I pair my Droid Pro to the View, and click on the wrench icon, then click connect to Internet, it says connecting and never connects. When I try this with the same phone on a Dell Streak 7 or a Motorola Xoom, I get online instantly.
2. Handsfree
I know there is a thread about editing build.prop, which I have done, but my Jabra Clipper only connects for tablet audio. I did get it to connect running the Gingerbread CleverNameRom. Is this build.prop edit only work on Gingerbread? I am not interested in making phone calls, but would like to use it for Skype.
Thanks in advance for assistance.
I am having the same issues with my motorola finiti.
Can anyone let us know if these two items are even possible to get working in Honeycomb?
Does anyone know if the tethering issue is a hardware limitation on the View?

[Q] How to pair a bluetooth device despite not beeing detected by a scan?

Hey guys, after searching long and hard on the net I still couldn't find an anwser to this problem :
I have an MSI Windpad Enjoy 7 Tab that I used to to connect to an ELM327 OBDII bluetooth dongle for car diagnostics (torque app).
After upgrading from froyo to gingerbread, my tablet bluetooth doesn't detect the elm327 anymore, it also doesn't detect my car kit but it still detects other android phones perfectly well.
I know it's not a hardware problem or incompatibility since I already paired that device to this tablet before, it's a scan problem.
So here's my question: is there a way to "force feed" the bluetooth address of a device into android so it doesn't have to rely on a scan to find it?
Try Bluetooth File Transfer from GP
From GP? what's that?

GP = Google Play
I have attached the file transfer apk in attachments download it and let me know if it works
Thank you but that still doesn't work.
Sometimes when I put the tablet really close to the bluetooth device, it detects it and shows it as a mac address in the list, it doesn't have time to receive its ID before scan stops.. and then pairing doesn't work since it doesn't know what type of device it is...
Any suggestions guys? after searching on the forum, this appears to be the same problem samsung galaxy S users had when first upgrading to gingerbread...
Yeah mine did the same thing. Had to buy a new one

Android Car Deck (Flyaudio G7) locked bluetooth

Hi guys, so I have a Chinese made android deck running 4.1.2 with I guess is a custom rom from their factory. It works pretty well but they have locked the bluetooth function to only allow incoming inconnections (meaning only my phone can connect to the device). I have an OBD bluetooth transmitter that I would like to connect to the device but the "bluetooth" options menu in settings is hidden. I don't see any reason why my bluetooth OBD can't connect with the deck seeing it connects to my phone fine. Are there any workaround/apps/xposed modules that will allow me to accomplish this?
Let me know if the explanation is not clear. Thanks in advance!
I'm looking for the answer to this also... I tried looking for a bluetooth connection app with no luck. My tocado android double din is running kit kat 4.2.2 and I assume they only allow bluetooth connections for audio and only want you to buy their obd 2 device. I can go into the device settings in the torque app and see my phone and other bluetooth devices but somehow my obd device isn't reckognized... it seems they are blacklisted somehow. Has anyone tried a wifi or usb bluetooth obd2 device? Maybe that will work?
