Does Android 4.1 allow a device to serve as a Hands-Free Profile (HFP) device? Similar to the way many newer cars come with integrated Bluetooth/HFP, I would like to use my tablet (Nexus 7) as a front-end for my phone. When an incoming call comes in, the phone should relay the call over Bluetooth to the tablet; it should also allow the tablet to make outgoing calls via Bluetooth over the phone's network.
Please note that I am not interested in solutions such as GrooveIP, Talkatone, and SIPDroid. I am specifically looking for Bluetooth HFP.
I've done quite a bit of searching but have not seen an app that does this. I wouldn't mind looking into developing such a product - but I first wanted to know if the HSP 1.6 host API was available in Android 4.1. I've seen resources stating it was available in ICS 4.0, but I believe this is to allow Android devices to connect to third-party HSP devices - I'm looking to do the opposite (i.e. have the Android device serve as the HSP host).
i am also curious about this.

For those of us that plans to install a Android tablet in the car for music etc. this would be tha last part to make it a complete in-car device.
I am another curious one about this. The only devices I know of for sure that can do this are the 3.6 and 4.2 samsung galaxy players. Unfortunately, I have the 4.0 galaxy player, that doesn't support it. The galaxy players run gb, not jb, btw.

Did anybody found a solution, and trying to add this feature to my android app.

From what I can gather:
* Bluetooth defines HFP to have two roles: the Audio Gateway (AG) role and the Hands-Free (HF) role.
* Android doesn't natively support the HF role.
I too am interested in exactly what you are describing -- would like to use a tablet as the infotainment hub of a vehicle. I would happy to be a part of or organize a bounty to support development of such a capability in CM10.

Someone custom-implemented the needed Bluetooth role
Looks like some Android device has custom implementations of both A2DP sink role and hands free unit role. I can't post links yet. Google this:

any leads if this is available on android yet? (Hands free profile)
There's some development about this but I'm not sure it's possible yet.
have a look at the links here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions...a-receiver-for-a2dp-profile/28892944#28892944
I want, too
to use android device as hands free
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
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
Hi
I have a great MTK Neken N6
I just got a brand new car and I include a multimedia setup working with bt connection to phone
getting the contact and calling work great.
But my car (corolla 2014) also include message retrival using MAP profile
my phone doesn't support this.
Is there a way to add support? from what I read kitkat (4.4) include it but im still on 4.2, is there a port of the bt part?
Thank you
no one?
Hi,
I am trying to get my Kevo smart lock to work but it appears the HTC M8 is compatible with it due not having BLE support. Does anyone have any idea to see if we can somehow enable this? Google mentioned the lollipop release came with BLE support but it was not embedded into the M8 update.
Thanks!
