I'm trying to pair my Xperia S with my Qnap nas Airplay plugin. I need my phonename for this to make a text file (.remote) with phonename and pairing number. I'm not sure where I can find the (right) phonename for this or where I can change this. Sure I can change it with Bluetooth settings, but I don't think this will work with Airplay (tried this but didn't work). Is there a system file were I can find/change the phone's name? I've got root access..

Yesterday i was chatting away on the phone , and realized i wanted a solution that would let me control the phone from the pc.
I installed droidvnc server but somehow it doesn't work, it automatically stops the server as soon as you try to connect to it.
So today i thought of another solution (besides buying a bluetooth keyboard), which is to emulate a bluetooth keyboard in software installed to the pc.
I have searched this and apparently it isn't easy to do. I have a bluetooth dongle on my windows laptop, but this isn't enough since i would need to emulate the proper hid profile.
Is this possible? Or do you know of another solution?
This sounds like some Xzibit 'Pimp my Atrix' type mod. Yo dawg! I heard you like to input text on your device while your talking on it but cant see; So I installed an emulator on your laptop keyboard so now you can type on your laptop while you type on your phone while you talk on your phone but cant see!

Dude WTF. i'm not looking for a headset.
I want to use my laptop's keyboard as the phone's keyboard over bluetooth.
In linux, there's a program called hidclient that seems to do this. I want to do this from windows. Basically i want a virtual bluetooth keyboard.
Well I was trying to make you laugh but I guess no luck..
Have you tried the "Phone Portal" app in your app drawer? It will allow you to send sms and such via your computers keyboard.
Hi all,
How to change the default audio route destination (to bluetooth headset)? I mean programatically, on a rooted phone. I have an SGS (with MIUI 1.11.11) and the available audio to BT headset router programs don't work in the desired way.
Actually there may be some linux related instruction to be done from console.
I am also interested in previligised (root) instruction that do that.
Regars,
Robert
Sorry to open a new thread, I cannot really find any help on this, that I can understand at least.
I have several device at home with Android of different versions.
How do I transfer files or pictures, music and so on between them?
Do I have to use an app. which is suitable for all the different version of Androids, or does Android have a "built-in" way to do that.
My devices are paired with it, but I could not find out.
Any help, guide, tutorials idiot-proof?
Thanks
it should be a built in feature. nothing special should be needed. you first have to pair both devices together. make sure devices are discoverable when you do it so they can connect. then on prime search for devices. then you should see your phone up there. select it. then it'll send a pin code message to phone for you to confirm. confirm on the phone then confirm on the prime. now devices should be paired up.
now to test it, take your phone and go to your picture gallery. select one of your photos or videos. then press option to share it. then select BT. then a pop up should appear on phone showing your prime. if not then press scan for BT devices. then select the prime on it. after a second or two, your notifications on the prime will go off. press it and it'll tell you a BT device is trying to send you something. accept it. then it should start transferring the file. you can see the progress bar in notifications area. when it's done it'll let you know.
if any issues or still can't get it to work, just post back.
p.s. glad to hear you got your prime back
...thanks man, it worked like a charm between ATP and Galaxy S Plus mobile..
Thanks aga.n.

no problem. I use it all the time to transfer files from my Motorola Atrix to prime. like pictures and videos. now if we can get this wifi direct in this new update working, we could use that instead and the file transfer and different capabilities would be alot faster and better.
I've been having an issue where the my phone won't connect to the tablet through bt for the main purpose of file transfer. Thank you for explaining how it is done as I was able to pair the devices but it would not "connect" like it would with say... bt headphones or my laptop. With the laptop it sets up a whole profile in the bt settings for file transferring or audio but the the various phones I've tried to connect with I would only get rename or unpair. I thought that "connect" status had to be established for any transferring to be done or to use the bt gps apps.
I tried what you suggested and it worked for transferring pictures in the gallery. Thanks

glad to hear you got it working. it doesn't need to "connect" or say it for pics, video, and file transfers. As long as both devices paired, you should be good. it only needs to connect for BT tethering, head phones, and things like that on prime.
My old Beats pill (Bluetooth speakers) are not able to pair with any new devices. Looks like I am not able to set it into discoverable mode.
I want to change my phone now.
I am looking for those paring files inside my (rooted cm12.1 ) device that I can copy into my new rooted phone so that the new phone connects to the beats pill directly.
Can somebody offer any help.
PS: it guess they should be similar to our wpa_supplicant.Config files.
Hello,
I have rooted my infotainment system in my Honda Civic according to this forum post successfully.
I installed the Torque Pro app which connects to the a Bluetooth ODB-II reader. I verified that it was working using my OnePlus 2 phone and that there were no issues pairing. However, the car infotainment system seems to only display Phones when scanning for devices. It does not detect the reader or my laptop when in discoverable mode.
I took a peak inside the /etc/bluetooth/main.conf file and it seems that it contains entries to whitelist only certain kinds of devices. However, following the comments replacing the values 0xFFFFFF does nothing. I don't think the file is even being read because if I change the device name "HandsFreeLink" to something else, it doesn't actually change.
My suspicion has something to do with the Android version that it is running and the bluetooth stack. It is running Android 4.2.2, and since Jelly Bean, the Bluez stack was replaced with Bluedroid. However, I can't tell what Bluetooth stack is actually running because of some contradictory things:
- /etc/bluetooth/main.conf is there (though it seems to be ignored)
- /data/misc/bluetooth is empty
- /data/misc/bluetoothd has a folder with the device MAC address. Looking into the files, they have lists of already paired devices, etc. (isn't this Bluez that creates these?)
- /data/misc/bluedroid does not exist
I also tried using a separate app to do the pairing, perhaps the UI was hiding other devices. Nope, only phones are being shown.
Where else should I look for Bluetooth configuration? Is there anything I can do, or is this likely something deeply ingrained whenever Honda rewrote part of the bluetooth stack for their car...
Thanks,
cdahmedeh
I'm looking for the same thing but my data/misc/Bluetooth is not empty, I have two HCI folders. I'm trying to get any command that use bluetooth like hciconfig but I cannot get it
Have you guys found a way to pair other bluetooth devices? Its really seems that only phones are visible. Please share if you guys found a solution. Thanks!
I may have found a fix. Not sure how helpful this is but there is a customizable ECU for honda vehicles called Hondata. Normally it just allows you to flash you car ECU to gain more HP but since honda started using android on their headunits, it opened up doors for your car to display ECU info and communicate easier with other bluetooth devices. In this video tutorial, it showed how to root the headunit, install custom apps, and also find other bluetooth devices. They show you for their own purposes of connecting their device but im sure it will allow any bluetooth device.
