[Q] Simultaneous bluetooth connections - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

I backed the Pebble watch and i'm anxiously awaiting delivery of course. But a thought just occurred to me that I can't seem to locate a definitive answer....
I use a bluetooth headphone to listen to music while running, can I simultaneously be connected and operate another bluetooth device such as the Pebble? Is this a limitation of bluetooth?

I can connect to my car stereo and nexus 7 at the same time. You should be ok

As long as devices aren't of the same caliber (eg two Bluetooth speakers), you'll be okay I believe.

I connect my Bose earpiece and Motoactv watch everyday. Both connect and work simultaneously without issue.

Can anyone confirm that you plug in ear piece with mic? Does the mic work using the gtalk. I don't think my is working.

yes, it works with any iphone compatible headset... i've used my Astro A30's to make video calls on the TF
Mine does not work either. Neither in Skype nor in GTalk. It acts like there isn't a mike in the headset and uses the built-in mike. Same head-set/mic works on iphone and Galaxy S phone and on Galaxy-Tab...
What ROM are you running? I can confirm it indeed works. Built my own splitter cable so that I could use a separate mic and earphones with it.
Thanks!

Update: 2011/06/21 ---------- RMA'd my transformer due to the headset connection mic not working---
Received the new unit today and the mic port works great... I guess they've been in a bit of a hurry to get these eee pads out the door... Thank you to newegg for responding quickly and no charge.
Cheers, hope this is useful to you all, if it's broken, get it replaced, a.s.a.p.

..Gtalk and Skype. And the Bluetooth Motorola S10-HD works too
As I hate earpieces in general, especially when using them for prolonged time.
Do anyone have a suggestion for a good headset with normal padded ear-muffs (unsure what they are called in English)?
The alternative might be to buy 3.5mm headset/mic to 3.5mm adapter (2xTRS to TRRS) and use one of my existing PC based headsets. Found one - see http://www.amazon.co.uk/Steel-Serie...GY/ref=sr_1_50?ie=UTF8&qid=1307990319&sr=8-50

Yes, I've used an HTC headset with mic and it worked. Don't remember which phone it came from....

Bluetooth A2DP

Hoping a fellow xda member has found a way around this issue before. So I connect my amaze to my cars stereo to stream using A2DP, I use to do this with my galaxy s 2 as well. One thing I find annoying about the amaze is that unlike my gs2 it doesnt connect automatically and I have to enter the pin code everytime can someone share a way to get the amaze to automatically do this? Tried some autoconnect Bluetooth app from the market but it still made me type in the pin code.

In my car you have to register the phone to the head unit in order for it to connect automatically. Have you done this?
Hope it helps,

It works with my truck 100%. It may be your radio. I have an aftermarket Sony radio unit and my Amaze connects to it with no problem. My music plays through my speakers and I do not have to enter a pin code besides pairing it up for the first time.

Well I'm using a pioneer and my galaxy s 2 did this just fine. Everything else works fine which is weird I can flip through songs from the head unit. Another issue I see is the amaze only connects media or phone depending on which screen I'm on with my pioneer the only way to connect both is by going into the settings and doing it manually.

Which pioneer do you have? My brother has the AVH-5200DVD and his works with no problem. I connected it for him and it works.
Avh-2300dvd with the Bluetooth module btb200

Are you on ICS or GB? I'm thinking of you should probably install ICS for the updated radio. It may give you a better connectivity.
I'm on ics it didn't work on either maybe my phone isnt paired as the primary or there is something I can reset in the stereo?
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2
it connects with my car without any problem. and since i upgraded my phone to ics the connectivity is even faster.

Hmm, gonna go mess with it don't see any reason for it not to work the way it does for you

You guys were right it connects rediculously fast with ics I got it figured out, has to register the phone permanently apparently the Bluetooth unit can connect for just a one time connect and permanent registration.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using Tapatalk 2
I have a 08 lancer gts with a navigation. It's connects to Bluetooth automatically. I recently added a2dp Bluetooth aux and I now have it connect automatically to that whenever I turn in the car. Only had to enter the pin once.
Running ICS rooted, unlocked with s-off

Note 2 as a bluetooth for ps3?

How can I connect my note 2 to my ps3 via bluetooth so I can use my phone as a bluetooth headset so I can talk to other players?
Any takers?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Wouldn't it just be easier to use a headset? How would you hold the phone and controller?
Sent from my Nexus 7
The thing is I don't have one yet! Who said I would have to hold it near my head? There is a thing called speaker phone! So I would just set it be side me
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Im interested as well that would be cool also for a keyboard....seems all my other phones could see ps3 but not connect and note2 cant even see ps3 as a device?

Does anyone know of a bluetooth headset that integrates well with Google Now? I currently have a LG HBS700, but it will not work with Google Now.
Thanks!
Mike

Are you able to use all the GoogleNow functions, e.g. ask for directions, send a text message, etc? Did you have to tweak it at all to get it to work?
Thanks!
Mike
Jawbone.. they are pretty Much the best bt headset you can get. They have all the functionality you could need.

my blue ant T 1 seems to be working
My Motorola Sliver Elite only works while in-call or listening to media. No commands work at all.
Seems BlueAnt headsets work
None of my Motorola devices work. I use the MotoRKR T505 in my car. No voice commands, text messages don't read out. BlueAnt does have a mobile app to use with their devices.
I have actually used my Xbox 360 wireless headset. The one with Bluetooth and it works exceptionally well..

This is a pretty handy thread so I will add mine to the list.
Jawbone Prime - only works for calls. no commands.
darn! I have the original Jawbone and it's paired with my DNA. Ihaven't tried with calls yet but, it won't give any other audio? Music etc? Also not having luck with my RocketFish RF-MAB2
I don't think it is the headset. It appears to be an issue with the way bluetooth is implemented.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34348
I purchased a Jabra Extreme to replace my Jawbone Prime. Works just the same. The mic is not used for any voice input other than phonecalls.
I'm wondering if the people that say their headset works really did test with a voice-to-text app.
I have been using the BlueAnt Commute http://www.myblueant.com/products/speakerphones/commute/
It is working with reading the text messages but I cannot figure out how to voice call a contact. The instructions do not work on the DNA. Instead of searching the contacts, it searches the yellow pages and web for the name I provide.

Bluetooth Audio Volume

With my phone connected to my car stereo via bluetooth, the volume seems considerably low compared to my rezound, which was even lower than my thunderbolt. Phone and deck are both maxed out.
Tried various EQ apps, not much difference..
On stock rom, not rooted.
Anyone else have this issue?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
Are you on the OTA update?
My Bluetooth headset has very low volume which has been reported by others. I was hoping this was fixed in the OTA.
Yes im on update.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
You're not the only one. I've spent most of my time in the Android Central forums and same issue reported there as well. Update seems to have improved connecting but quality hasn't changed much. Personally speaking my Plantronics Voyager worked great on my Samsung Fascinate but on the DNA ... well let's just say a toaster would do a better job with audio.
What Bluetooth software is in your car? I believe the droid DNA uses 4.0 and updating your Bluetooth software in your car via usb might help ya

Can't say I've had the same problem with Korean car head units, Ford Sync units, LG HBS 700 headphones, and an older Jawbone Prime. All have worked fine, and in the case of the LG headphones, I have to operate them both at significantly lower than full volume on both.

Not sure. Its a new pioneer AVH-P2400BT. Looked on pioneer site, theres a firmware update but says only needed if u have a iphone.

Are any of the custom roms better with this issue?
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
No.
I've tried replacing the HTC BT drivers with both stock drivers and CAF drivers and neither made any difference that I could tell.
Dsb9938 pulled an alternative user space stack from somewhere and that didn't change anything for me either.
