[Q] Bluetooth - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is possible have bluetooth always discoverable?

That would take a nice chunk of your battery everyday, I dont think you would want to leave it always discoverable, even if you could. What is your end goal? Maybe there is an easier way to achieve it.. I mean, after two devices are paired once you dont have to keep rediscovering them each time, right.?

[B]Bluetooth need to re-match after Prophet reboot or lost connection[/B]

With WM6, I had matched my bluetooth earphone with prophet,then I can see the BT headphone symbol on dialing menu.However, if I reboot Prophet, the connection will lost,when I making a call, it won't auto connect to my BT earphone(the WM5 rom did),I have to open setting->connect>BT rematch it to use my earphone.
The problem also happens if,
1.First build connection between phone and BT earphone.
2.Take away the phone only(far enough to let them unable to communicate)
3.Take back the phone and make a call. The BT connection won't re-connect untill you re-matching it.
It makes me very inconvience, thanks a lot if someone can help me to fix it.
Thank you!
I have the very same problem in all of PDAViet's roms. After soft reset the bluetooth partnership setting is gone (although the symbol of the paired device is still there..) I have asked for a fix several times but no one seems to care.. Very strange that only a few people seem to make regular use of their bluetooth headset....

Why do you complain so unsympatically? Remember that you flashed your device yourself. Nobody forced you, nobody let you pay for the software. You downloaded all by yourself a file that a smart person somewhere in Vietnam or Thailand or Russia or where ever, has put together becourse his hobby is to fool around with his PDA. That same person was so friendly to let the whole world join in on his party.
But don't complain when that person don't like to spend his time on your problems, for as far we know his doesn't have a BT headset at all and isn't interested in that functionality. It will become a whole different piece of meat when you had purchased the ROM, but you haven't....... did you....?
Cool...
rondol1 - I like your thinking, my sentiments exactly.
is there anyone can help?
Same sproblem with other bluetooth devices
I think it is not just a BT headset problem but a BT stack problem. I'm using a BT GPS and I had to re-pair GPS and Prophet each time I use (althoughit seems like it is already paired)
It is irrelevant maybe but similar problem exist on e-mails. I create an account for my email provider, download e-mails, but after a reset it looks like my e-mail setting are gone (have to re-configure it) But even when it seems settings are gone I can see it on my today plugin that I have such number of e-mails ( I can get to see them)

I did NOT "complain" about the problem not being fixed so far, but about the missing reaction of some of this community when I posted the question about the status of this problem on new ROMs several times (which this forum should be there for) and there was just no answer at all. Because I do not want to flash my device with every new "release" only to find out that the problem is still there. I am indeed aware of the fact that not everyone is using BT functionality and that a new OS manually adapted to an "older" device is something that cannot be free of issues from the beginning.
Any change on this behaviour with the new PDAViet ROM 4.0.0.0.6 Touch? Anyone tried?
Same problem
Thanks for All and for every thing they did to make prophet for WM6 but this bluetooth problem is really killing me also every time i am using my car bluetooth i have to pair
Same problem in all rom's
Have tried almost all rom's, same problem.
The problem seems not to be releated to the diffrent BT stacks. Have tried different. Also it is not related to the BT devices. Have used Handfree. Stereo headset. GPS unit. Serial ports on remote PC etc. All have the same problem. Works when paired. Then after a soft reset unit are still in the BT list. But they have all have to be re paired to work.
Surely have something to do, with the units loosing most, or some of the settings after reset. Its an anoying problem, which we all will have to look into.
All the new rom's are nice to have, and to play with. But if we wants the rom's to be good for regular and daily use. We sure needs to fix this problem.
I will start to do my own little investigation, trying to fix the problem.
The problem is the same in all rom's. So if its solved in one rom, I'm pretty sure its solved in all roms. (99% sure , I think)

I know why this is but so far I havn't figured out how to solve it.... the problem is that settings are stored in the ram and not the rom... the way we need to get it to work is have the regestry moved to the extrom and that way it can be writen to directly without having to keep the regestry in the ram..... this can be done but I havn't fully understood how this is don't because I've been trying so hard to figur uot the X button problem... but I'm reading up on how to do that

Thats correct. Seeting in RAM are lost, and there by Bluetooth pairing, email settings etc. Now knowing what causes the problem, some one clever, sure will some up with a solution. Will try to se if I can contribute with anything.

Strange thing is, I've tried a few WM6 ROM, but never had any problems with lost emailsettings. I use it a lot, and just as everybody, I have to do a soft reset, once in a while...
So, the RAM storage as you describe isn't lost in all cases but also written to ROM.
As for BT I only use my gps-receiver and even that one only now and then It seems t work fine, but to be honest most of the time I've flashed my Prophet between several times....
I've the same problem with BT : always working with BT GPS, always loosing my BT Headset (try with 3 differents Headsets ...).
Be with devellop's team for correct this probem, and not with guy who critic this post without an BT Headset .... This is a forum and the critic is here to help the building of a 'very good' and more stabe as possible WM6 Rom ...
All together for the future ....

try change your battery or just pull out your battery overnight, i'm sure you will experience this problem. Sometimes on my phone when battery goes below 50% if I reset will loose setting sometimes. Just annoying but i can live with it.
The only way to keep your bluetooth, wifi and email settings all the time without worries is to use WM5.
If someone wants to try the bug, just soft-reset the phone while connected to the PC via activesync.
I guess that you will lose your settings (i'm not 100% sure because I'm now using WM5).
okeee.....
That are things I didn't try indeed. But at the other hand, what hould I want to do all that?
Tried the battery-change right away. Everything is still in order, no settings missing, time and date still as it should, email working as it allways did.
I did shut down my device first though.

You might be one of the lucky ones then. I believe majority of us looses settings at various times. what model specs are your device do you have anyway? is it new when u purchased? the reason i asked cuz somewhere i read there is a "button cell battery" might be a wizard thing not prophet devices.

I did buy my S200 new, without any branded OS, that means straight from Qtek. It's a G4, other specs Im willing to tell when you can precise what you want to know.
But... I don't want to be arrogant... when I read the many bug-reports I get the feeling that a majority don't use their device as it is supposed to. If you imagine that it is a small device with very limited hardware specs, it's not hard to understand that it isn't as foolprove as your desktop computer...
But again, it's just a feeling I get by reading many post, I also know that some of you have serious issues that cannot be explained from maluse point of view.

[Q] Bluetooth HID functionality-Important???

I would really like to be able to at least attach my bluetooth keyboard so I can type my reports for work and take my online classes on my tb. With LTE now it has definitely opened the door to doing things that I wasn't comfortable doing on 3g. I just need to be able to do 150wpm so I can get things done. No I will not get a blackberry don't bother posting. I am just wondering, since it is probably an impossibility till HTC lifts their skirt up and gives us source if I can get a little following to help suggest the devs to fix the bluetooth issues with the TB. If no one really cares I will shut up and start doing thumb workouts.

[Q] Selfmade audiodock - need help!

Hello,
I am thinking about building an audio dock for the Galaxy S2 from scratch.
I only want it to load the Galaxy S2 and be able to play music from the MicroUSB, using an inbuilt speaker.
What I want to know:
-Would this speaker be okay? http://www.conrad.de/ce/de/product/710674/5-CM-BREITBANDLAUTSPRECHER-FRWS-5SC-8OHM/1312030&ref=list
- How do I have to manipulate the MicroUSB cable to force audio output via MicroUSB? (Because I never did something like that before, I'll need precise information about what to to and which components (resistors) to use for that.) What I mean is, which resistance do I have to change and how?
- Is there any chance to brick/damage the phone when doing something wrong?
I have to mention that I never ever in my life have built something electric more than in school for some years.
I don't know much about electrical stuff and I never would attempt something if there would be higher voltages or danger involved.
But if the only thing that could happen is a non-working speakerand a destroyed cable, then I definitely have to try it...
Don't get me wrong: I dare to do this and to get it working! But if there is the danger of f**king up my phone, I won't.
Nonetheless, I would want to know the details, just out of pure interest!
Building a case and installing all those components, making it look nice etc. won't be a problem for me, but with the wiring I really do need help!
If anyone would be so kind to help me with that, I would be very thankful.
Please also know, that english is not my native language.
Regards, Bonscha

[Q] Wired Head Mounted Display

For lack of a better place to put this, I decided the Android Q/A was probably best. Anyway I'll get straight to the point. I'm attempting to create an HMD using an old Android phone. The problem is, even on a local network, all of the possible Remote Desktop apps seem to have unbearable lag. I cannot fix my network. I'm using Powerline Adapters. I put a WiFi router directly in the room I want to use the phone as an HMD and I've got a direct connection to the main router via Powerline on my PC. It's really as good as it's going to get. And yet I have noticeable lag even just moving my mouse around. So I don't really want suggestions on how to get wireless working better.
What I really want is a true one to one display. Almost like the phone is acting as a secondary monitor to my PC. So whatever my PC is displaying, my android shows with zero lag. That means directly connecting the device I'd imagine. The problem is, EVERY single possible way of wording this in my research seems to provide the exact opposite results of what I'm looking for. Google loves doing that to me. I say "Use Android as PC Monitor" and I get "How to display your Android on your PC monitor". That's just one example of the many different ways I got those same exact results.
So anyway, I would appreciate any direction someone could give me to figure this out. Thanks.
As an update, I just wanted to say I've found two apps that seem to do what I want, but they seem a little iffy. The first Twomon USB - USB Monitor, claims it does precisely what I want. However, the reviews are mixed with some saying it doesn't work. I'd rather not spend almost $10 on something iffy. I'd rather read things like "It connected with no problems and there's NO LAG."
Then the other one is ExtDisplay extend via Wifi/USB. This time it has a free version ExtDisplay Extend PC Display, but I hesitate to try it because of it doesn't have good reviews. I guess I'll try it and come back to this, but I just figured I'd give a little more details on what I'm looking for. These apps claim to be exactly what I'm looking for. Just don't seem to deliver.
How did it go ?

I ended up switching over to a program I'm sure all have heard by now. Trinus Gyre. Well now it's called TrinusVR. At any rate, it worked very well for a while, but my android phone's display is terrible. Trying to play anything is extremely pixelated to the point that I can't read text. I have however been looking out for a program with the same functionality for my iPhone because it has a much higher resolution. I did find one called KinoConsole. It works great and while currently I will use it from time to time for movies, I still can't really use it for gaming because again, text isn't easy to read. At this point I'm just holding out for a professional headset that won't break the bank. I kinda have my heart set on PlaystationVR because of the specs, but still don't know how much they're going to try to sell this thing for.
But, if you're still set on using an Android device, definitely try out TrinusVR. It's worth the money especially if you have a decent resolution.

Is there a way to mass-send a small file via WiFi to all subnet clients?

I realize this may scream "SPAM" and maybe it does, but I still feel it would have a lot of genuine utility.
For example, say you're at a concert after paying to see your favorite artist. You obviously care very much about this artist and are interested in their projects. What if said artist wanted to send a flyer to every single device connected to the concert WiFi?
And that's just one use-case I'm thinking of. Another would be as a replacement for how we used to use Bluetooth in the pre-smartphone era, just to share files. I guess we can still use Bluetooth for that but it's complicated in smartphones and of course WiFi is faster than Bluetooth (think 100Mbps and stuff).
I guess what I'm asking is for an API/technology for me to get started working on. I really want to develop this either as an app or an Xposed mod or even (perhaps most ambitiously) submit it as a suggestion once it's ready to AOSP.
Nice idea...
And if any.. small utility to send message to all device connected to Lan or Wifi ?
