[Q] Update bluetooth in 4.2.1? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm having some problems with one app on my phone connecting to a bluetooth dongle. The app is torque, if it matters.
According to the devs there are issues with the bluetooth stack in my version of Android, and I wondering if anyone knows how to fix this. Apparantly, the 4.1.x implementation works, or at least there's a workaround for the problems with this one.
Any help would be appreciated! I need to read the error codes from my car...

I'm sure if the app dev can't fix it, we won't be able either

2.1 Rom Bluetooth simple secure pairing (SSP)

Hey all,
I have been using my Eris with a bluetooth Stereo for a quite a while, but when I rooted the phone over to a 2.1 ROM it started using Simple Secure Pairing (SSP) when authenticating the bluetooth headphones. My car stereo doesn't support this (its brand new too...).
So, the question is has anyone ever looked into disabling SSP and forcing it to use the old static key method of pairing in 2.1?
I am not adverse to diving in and doing the dev work, I just wanted to make sure someone hasn't already done it. If I do need to dive in does anyone know if its possible to disable it via a config file, or will I need to backport the bluez stack?
Thanks for all the great work,

I too am having this issue. Worked fine in 1.5 but ever since root it will play audio through pioneer head unit but phone won't connect. I will patiently await a fix.

Oh, so that's what's up.
I'm having a similar problem with my Jabra Cruiser bluetooth speakerphone/FM transmitter. What mine does, though, is it will connect and I can use it to listen to music and do the normal speakerphone functions like it normally would, but none of the media buttons will work anymore. It's not a huge inconvenience, since I mount my phone in the car anyway (long commute). It's only a problem if I need to have Google Navigation in the foreground but still want to change songs.
Patiently waiting. You devs are awesome, if you don't get enough sycophantic slobbering already.
ok, so I did some digging on mine and it turns out that I can pair with a simple bluetooth headset via the '0000' key. But the phone attempts to go through the full key negotiation to connect the "bluetooth headphones." So i can get audio via the headset negotiated connection, but it sounds awful without full AD2P.
I am getting a ROM kitchen setup and will try and map the 1.5 bluez stack onto the 2.1 source and see where that gets me.
Thanks for the input.
Thanks for working on this! I've tried to incorporate some of the Bluetooth files as well as the WLAN.ko from other roms into my Rom but have been unsuccesful. I am running damage control 2.08 that I ported. I was originally unable to get WiFi or Bluetooth to work until I copied the WLAN.ko from the oc patch now both work minus the phone. Don't know if this helps but figured i let you know. If you have those files from a 1.5 Rom I will try them in my port and let you know what the results are.

I have a Jabra Crusier, and I'm having an issue with a lot of ROMs where I can not connect to it and stream music over bluetooth. I have found that Aloysius v6 Maps rom by Spencer Moore works well with the bluetooth thing. You may have to connect and disconnect a few times here and there to get it to connect, but it's been the best ROM for it. I used V11 Maps and it worked for a little while, but stopped connecting properly just recently.
There are a few known bugs with v6, but I'm fiddling with V11 to try and get the bluetooth to stay perm. Once I get it, I'll let Spencer Moore know and get him any new updates I come across.
Just an update. I am able to pair and connect to phone using white widow Rom.

Possible to send all audio over Wi-Fi?

Hi all
I'm looking at getting an Android 4.0 device - not a phone as it happens - but I'm going to want to have all audio sent over Wi-Fi in order to work with something like this: http://www.lindy.co.uk/usb-portable-wireless-audio-system/20404.html
Now if I was running Lindy I'd be sure to release an app for that, but I've not seen mention of one. I don't know Android well either.
Can anyone help? I was considering Bluetooth but it turns out that lossless Bluetooth audio receivers are scarce.
Thanks

[Q] is a bluetooth headset version3 compatible with android jellybean 4.1.1?

hi
i have an m155 plantronics bluetooth headset which has a specification of bluetooth version 3.
when i use it with my android jellybean 4.1.1 mobile phone ALCATEL 5035E (unrooted) to play music, the music stutters,
drops off, then resumes, then finally drops off completely without resuming, although bluetooth
icon remains blue. i touched the bluetooth icon to disconnect it. the icon
blinks and does not stop.
i brought my mobile phone for service and they replaced my phone with a brand new one. but the same problem occurred.
the technicians said it could be a problem with the bluetooth compatibility with the android jellybean. they said to update my bluetooth device so that it becomes compatible with the android 4.1.1. i was skeptical because i had this vague thought that there is no such thing as updating the software on a bluetooth headset.
i checked on my android device, and the bluetooth version on the mobile phone is 4.1.1-1350
sorry if i sound stupid to ask you guys. but i need to give the technicians an answer so that we can move forward in finding the problem. Your answer will help us go in the right direction.
does the bluetooth headset need to be the same version with the android phone in order for it to function properly?
is there an android update that fixes my issue? if so, how do i get it?
thanks much

Stream and play audio with Bluetooth through two Android devices?

I want to create an app to stream audio using Bluetooth from one Android device to another and have them both playing audio at the same time. I know that there are multiple apps that accomplish this with WiFi (like AmpMe), but a Bluetooth solution would be the most convenient. The BluetoothMusicPlayer app is the only one that does pretty much what I want but it's extremely buggy, and I've only gotten it to work for a few seconds.
From a post on stackoverflow, it looks like it's possible to make an Android device into an audio receiver through a patch on the Bluetooth package for Lollipop and later, but can it be done through an app?
(Since I'm a new user, I can't post the link to it, but the topic is titled "Android device as a receiver for A2DP profile" and the answer is by nilo.)
I'm fairly new to app development, but I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could lead me in the right direction.
Thanks.
