Hi,
Just bought a SG S2 to replace my old Xperia X10 which I had a lot of fun with but it is dual core time and I am also keen to try out the DSLR controller apps with my Canon SLR.
Flashing and rooting on SG S2 is pretty easy but I have found out that Samsung has recently removed the API for USB OTG so only certain USB devices are working and no luck DSLR controller.
Have google and also search the forum but there seems to be no news on getting this back.
So my questions is:
1) Does anyone knows what Samsung has removed and anyone got plans on adding it back? I am just using 2.34 KH3 for the time being until I get a newer firmware to work.
2) Any idea if ICS is likely to have support for the USB OTG with DSLR Controller?
Finally a bit of topic but I tried the Miui rom for GS2 and it is pretty ok apart from the camera apk which I believed is a Miui generic which doesn't work quite as well as the stock camera apk e.g. pictures doesn't like as nice and no ISO settings ..etc. But I think I saw some thread saying that you cannot use the stock camera.apk on Miui rom as it has some dependency require from the stock rom.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Let me start from the beginning. I have a Galaxy S III, Sprint, which as I know for a fact supports the low energy bluetooth (BT 4.0). I recently installed the [ROM][AOSP][Linaro]CarbonRom Nightlies/Releases [d2spr] but the stable release ( or most stable). After I installed the rom the BT 4.0 won't work anymore. I know the hardware supports because I used it before. I've been using it with the FITBIT Flex fitness bracelet. My question is because the hardware supports it, is there anything I can flash that will allow the rom to utilize the BT 4.0 software, with this ROM in particular?
Any help would be much appreciated! Otherwise I'll keep syncing it with my PC when I get home everyday.
Thanks in advance,
Your fellow mobile enthusiast.
One of the features I'm looking to use on the Xperia Z Ultra is ANT+ wireless sensors for cycling. The specs for this phone state that this is a feature yet my new phone does not seem to have ANT+. Anyone know anything about this?
Thanks
Dave
Check the Play Market.
Yeah, I've tried installing the ANT+ radio service from the Play market but it will not work. I have an Xperia Active with ANT+ and it works perfectly and is easy to setup new connections.

I'm having the exact same problem... when I open mapmyride I can only see the sensor for BT Heatrate straps but nothing for Ant+
Specs for the new Xperia Z1 indicate that it also has ANT+. Hopefully Sony will enable this on our phones soon.

Hi Guys,
I'm also an avid cyclist using Garmin Ant+ heartbelt direct to my trusty old wornout Xperia S and also Xperia Ion too.
Many say BT4.0 LE still has cutoff issues, and Ant+ batt last forever in heartbelt.....
I understand from speaking to shops that the LTE version has Ant+, but many said the 3G version does not. The SnapDragon 800 does have Ant+ feature in chip, there was some debate if 3G version uses this chip. Sony really should fully enable these by firmware if possible.
PS: The bluetooth signal needs to be switched on to enable Ant+.
Hope any of you could provide your experience of workability or lack off, thanks.
Bump. Still no ANT+ after the .526 update.
If anyone with a new C6833 4G phone is able to test ANT+ functionality for me it would be greatly appreciated.
Hello All,
I've heard from many sources (also official) about BLE availability on Android 4.3 (from software side) for Samsung S3, so just after last update of my phone I've just bought Sigma R1 HRM but... it doesn't work on ANY (I've tried five different) 4.3 ROM. Only CM ROM (4.3.1) could pair properly with this HRM. So this functionality was included in 4.3 or not? Maybe someone could help to pair BLE accessories with SGS3 4.3?
What's more interesting. my girlfriend's Xperia V could pair with Sigma on Android 4.1.2!!! I don't know how it is possible if it is one of key feature 4.3?
P.S. Just for info: Endomondo on Android cannot handle BT Smart, it is not connected with android version.
Hi,
I'm looking into updating my wife's phone to modern/speedier ROM than official slow ICS ROM.
A requirement though, besides acceptable battery and proper hardware keyboard support is ANT+ support.
Is there any such ROM around these days?
Thank you
