Does anybody know a really working app for galaxy S2 that connects a car radio to the phone automatically by bluetooth? (Automatic Bluetooth from the android market does not)
Hi.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-I9100 (Not I9100T or I9100G).
My current Rom Is:
Android: 2.3.6
I9100XXKL1
Core: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWLA4-CL900411 [email protected] #2
Build: FIREFDS.V1.GINGERBREAD.XWLA4
I've used it with a stock hebrew gingerbread rom (from Israeli supplier) and it worked fine.
I flashed it to ICS, wasn't happy with the battery performance and went back to stock.
The only thing I did when using that ICS was setting frequencies manually.
I dialled in the digits *#2263# and set 2 bands using COMBI BAND (850 and 2100 MHZ) for my provider.
Since then I went through other roms which work fine with both frequencies without any manual tweaking.
Ever since - the Bluetooth scanning doesn't find many devices (namely headsets for making phone calls. it does find portable speakers and other smartphones) and I get bad quality audio stream to my multimedia system in my car.
The above mentioned bluetooth devices (Samsung HM1000 and WEP570) work fine with other phones (Samsung Captivate).
I am able to send files via bluetooth between my I9100 and another Samsung Captivate in both ways.
I tried flashing to various ROMS both GB and ICS for custom roms and stock roms (such as the Stock ICS) and it doesn't help at all.
I scanned the net and this forum and found no similar problem.
Help will be well appreciated. Thank you!
Hi mate try this code #*3888# this can put you on BLUETOOTH Test mode.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Hi and thanks for trying to help!
That code works for a different smartphone.
The corresponding code for the Galaxy S2 is *#232331#
But I don't know exactly what it does - I tried it and it says I'm in bluetooth RF test mode but shows no results or anything. Just has a button to exit.
Surely someone here understands how this can be fixed :
maybe a problem with ur multimedia system in the car?
I found the solution
Well... It seems that for every rom used on my galaxy s2 other than the original froyo rom whic camed preinstalled on it the only way I could find my three headphones were by making my phone visible in Bluetooth settings and also, and this is important, holding the main button of the headphones for several seconds until it was found by the phone.
This is something I haven't encountered while using the headphones with other smartphones but now that I found this I'm happy to share it.
Might help others with similar problems.
I bought a bluetooth keyboard for my Tab2 and the Galaxy Ace, but the Ace kindly informs me it does not support HID devices.
Is this an issue any of the custom ROMS address?
Hi,
I have a Galaxy S3 LTE with StockROM and it's not rooted. I am not allowed to unlock it.
I know that something around BT has changed with the Upgrade to 4.2 or 4.3.
My BT game-pad IPEGA PG-9017 and my mini BT keyboard don't work anymore. I could pair booth but I don't get any reaction on the phone.
I still could connect the S3 with my cars radio via BT and it works. But before I also could use the radios controls to skip forth and back on the phone/spotify. Now I have to do it on the phone.
Now I bought Samsungs Gamepad EI-GP20. I could pair it but I can't get it to run. I don't know it EI-GP20 is a normal game-pad. But when I paired it with another smartphone and I immediately saw that the phone reacts to it.
To get my IPEGA to run I read http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2033780 . I installed BlueIMEZ and another APK which name I forgot. I didn't help.
I have the feeling that BT settings or IMEs are screwed up.
Is there anything I could do or check without having root? Does anyone have an idea what I might overlook?
note: Samsung screwed up the update for the S3
Hi all,
I currently have an I777 with CM11 M11 ported from I9100 and the Shift kernel. It is stable for the most part.
I can connect both my headset (via HFP) and car media player (via A2DP and AVRCP) and everything works fine.
I was wondering. Would I be able to connect a Bluetooth keyboard to this phone (via HID profile I believe)? In other words, would I be able to use the Satechi Media Button with my phone? Is supporting Bluetooth HID a hardware specification (i.e. Bluetooth version) or a software one (i.e. OS support)?
