I'm looking to buy a Bluetooth Hear Rate Monitor but there have been conflicting reports on the internet saying that the S3 is not fully bt 4.0 smartstay compliant and so the Polar H7might not work. Has anyone use the polar Bluetooth H7 and successfully got it running with which app?

Bluetooth audio is becoming a more prevalent option with television now. More TVs have Bluetooth capabilities and more soundbar and other audio have Bluetooth reception to allow them to play audio from cellphones and other devices.
I would like to have audio from my Google TV broadcast by Bluetooth for wireless listening. My TV does not have BT, but I have found a TOSLINK to BT device which is even powered by the USB port on the TV. The TOSBlue II can be found at telme2.com. So the audio broadcasting component of the problem is essentially solved.
The problem that remains is on the revieving end. Rather than spend $$$ on a nice set of BT headphones and have them occupying space and worring about them being charged, I would like to use my android phone which already has some fairly sophisticated audio capabilities and is always with me and charged. Even with earbuds it would allow the mobility of wireless headphones. I currently have the Galaxy Note II with Jelly Bean, but think this should be doable with any fairly current android device, even a tablet or other non-phone.
So far, I have not been able to find a solution for the phone which will play BT audio broadcast from another source. An acceptable solution would accomplish this for my phone, and Android Tablet, or an iPod Touch 3g (which I also have).
Has anyone ever accomplished this? Does anyone know of an app or mod that allows this?
Thanks for any help.
Does anyone knows for sure if HTC One support Bluetooth smart (i.e. bluetooth low energy BLE). I want to purchase an accessory that only works with bluetooth smart.
I could not find anything in specs other than that it has Bluetooth v4.0 with A2DP.

Hello everybody
Please apologize if this question might have been answered already. However, I haven't found a thread that dealing with this exact question.
I was wondering if anybody ever had a OBD2 Bluetooth dongle and headset connected at the same time. Is this possible?
I'm planning to use an OBD2 Bluetooth dongle together with Torque Pro to retrieve engine data on my HTC one. At the same time I don't want to sacrifice my car's Bluetooth headset, also connected to my HTC one.
So while displaying the engine details I still want to be able to answer calls using my headset.
Has anybody ever dealt with such a scenario? Did it work?
Thanks very much any hint and / or info!
[SOLVED] [Q]: Bluetooth OBD2 & headset simultaneously
To whoever it may concern, I was able to have both Bluetooth devices connected simultaneously, the car's hands-free and OBD2 dongle. Could even listen to music on my device through Bluetooth.
HTC ONE with Android 4.2.2
BMW Hands-Free Bluetooth integration
OBD2 Bluetooth dongle used with Torque Pro
Hope this helps people with similar concerns.

Hello XDA-Devs,
i bought a brand new Amazfit Pace (International) and updated firmware to latest stock. Setup was quite fine and watch paired with my Phone (Redmi Note 3 Pro) and Amazfit Watch App without any problems. I was also able to connect via MTP from Windows 10 PC and store some music on the watch.
Now i tried to connect my bluetooth headset (Bluetooth Bragi Dash Headphone) without any success. I put the Bragi Dash Headphone into pairing mode and in wacht BT menu it opens BT overview with blinking "Searching" indicator. After a while the blinking "Searching" indicator disappears and thats it. The Headphone does not show up. I also tried with a Bluetooth speaker with same result. Both, the Bragi Headphone and the bluetooth-speaker are working without any issues with my Phone, Windows tablets and other devices.
Any clue or same issue? Actually i like the design of the watch, but possibility to pair a bluetooth headset was a buying decision for me ..
thx and br

1. Make sure the BT devices aren't paired with any other devices before trying to pair with watch;
2. If BT on watch is working fine, you should stay connect if you go away from your phone about 10m (without barriers), if connection drops 30-50cm from phone then maybe you have a problem with the watch's BT (weak connection due to bad antennae or BT chip);
3. Put phone and any other device around in Airplane mode (or switch other BT devices off), do the same to watch, then enable only BT and try to pair again. There are some known cases of WiFi/BT interference.
If everything fails, maybe the phone/speaker simply aren't compatible if they pair with other devices. Watch should be able to list other BT devices nearby, if the list is always empty, looks like BT is damaged. Try an unpair (reset) and pair again with another phone and/or account on Amazfit app. Good luck.
Hello lfom, thanks for fast reply. I did a factory reset and it still does not work with my Bragi Headphone (150€) (https://support.bragi.com/hc/en-us/articles/115000132569-The-Headphone-Technical-Specifications)
But one good news, i tried with a very cheap bluedio BT-Headset (9€) and surprisingly this headset i could directly connect to my Amazfit Pace watch and works fine...
... so it seems there is some general incompatibility... maybe related to BT 4.0 A2DP version. As you see here http://www.phonemore.com/xiaomi-amazfit/specs/3497 the Amazfit Pace should support BT 4.0 A2DP. I assume the Bragi Headphone does handle the protocolls correctly (had never any issues with them) and they are premium product... so unfortunately it seems we have to wait for fix fom Amazfit side.
Anyone else can report incompatible BT devices? Or maybe anyone else out there tried to connect a Bragi product?
Thx and br
Probably it cannot be fixed by Huami, as the the limitation is the hardware used in Pace (4.0BLE). I have read somewhere that Stratos uses a different BT chip and supports higher version, not sure if 4.1 or 4.2. There is a list of known compatible and incompatible devices in a Facebook group:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/HuamiAmazfit.Pace.Smartwarch/permalink/344737925947591/
Thx lfom, i joined the group and seems that Bragi The Headphone does not work in general (others report that too). Sad that a standard protocol like bluetooth still seems to have compatabiliy issues. Have to live with it and use different BT-headphone. Thx for your help
Hi... my Kaidi headset will not pair Amazfit as well. I can pair Amazfit with iPhone and can pair Kaidi headset with iPhone but never Amazfit with Kaidi. Sad...
Dear all,
I recently purchased Jabra Elite Sport Earphones. They have both headphone function and heart rate monitor function. The "in ear" hear rate function work great so I would like to use it directly with my stratos.
The watch is able to connect to the earphones but regarding the heart rate monitor, I can see it in the activity accessories but when I try to connect, it tries but then says "impossible to communicate with XXX".
The earphones are bluetooth 4.2 and the stratos is 4.0. From various investigations, I could find that the 4.2 bluetooth specifications add various points regarding GATT profiles for bluetooth smart devices. I guess then the stratos is unable to connect because it is only 4.0 and not 4.2.
My question is then: is there any possibility to upgrade the watch to bluetooth 4.2? At least for what concerns software issues (my case here).
I installed Paceficator ROM expecting those new bluetooth profiles would be implemented but unfortunately not. Those, I guess, are available in the stratos 3 firmware as it is said as compatible Bluetooth 4.2 + BLE 5.0
I hope you will be able to help!
Thanks!
Edit 21/03:
I added 3 screenshot of the device scanned with my phone and Apps BLE Scanner and Bluetooth Scanner
I contacted Jabra too but they punted the issue telling they provide support for Smartphone usage and not smartwatch..
Have you enabled Bluetooth Smart in your Jabra Elite Sport Earphones before you tried to connect them with your watch? You should press and hold your right "bud" for about 10 sec.

Hello Zdune,
Thank you for taking care of my issue. I tried your trick. I heard "bluetooth Smart disconnected" and then in the watch/ Activity/ Accessories, the device was not appearing anymore.
I pressed again for 10s to reactivate and I could find again the device. But, trying to connect, it still says "unable to communicate with XX"
When the device is detected in the watch/Activity/ Accessories, it still shows a headset logo and not a heart rate logo. When I scan the device with my phone for bluetooth smart, it shows a heart rate logo. I think the watch is making confusion between the Classic Bluetooth function (headset) and the Smart function (health device). I don't know whether it is due to : 1) watch bluetooth version (4.0 instead of 4,2), 2) watch software issue, 3) headset software issue.
I hope someone can help.
