Bluetooth compatibility - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Its proving hard to find a definitive answer anywhere on this, but can anyone confirm if the Z2 is definitely compatible with the Jawbone Up24 for example?
The Up24 requires Bluetooth Smart / LE (low Energy) which, as I understand it, is one of the Bluetooth 4.0 profiles.
Their website does say it is compatible with the Z1, but no mention of the Z2 or Z3. I would assume it is I suppose, but I find it strange nobody seems to actually say so, anywhere that I can find.
Any of the phone specs I've read say "v4.0, A2DP, apt-X" or "Object Push Profile (OPP)"
Also, in a Sony whitepaper, I see the following:
Bluetooth® profiles supported:
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile v1.2
Audio/Video Remote Control Profile v1.3
Device Identification Profile v1.3
Generic Attribute Profile Client/Server over LE
Handsfree Profile v1.6 (Wide band speech)
Headset Profile v1.2
Health Device Profile v1.1
HID over GATT Profile v1.0
Human Interface Device Profile, Host role v1.1
Messaging Access Profile v1.0
Object Push Profile v1.1
Personal Area Networking Profile v1.0
Phonebook Access Profile v1.1
Serial Port Profile v1.1
Core version and supported core features:
Version 4.0
Bluetooth Low Energy

So, anyone got them working together?
Thanks.

Nobody?
ok, well, for anyone who is interested, I just noticed Garmin are listing the Z2 as compatible with their Bluetooth Smart (BTLE) products.
That's enough for me.

Bluetooth Features Confirmed after Android 2.1 Update

I can confirm that Bluetooth Dial-Up Networking (DUN) works after the 2.1 update using PDANet through my Sony VAIO on the Rogers Network.. yes! now I can fully take advantage of my 6GB data plan without wires!
Also, the PhoneBook Access Profile (PBAP) as well as pulling your recent calls list (not sure what profile that uses) works fine with Android 2.1 using my SE HBH-DS980 headset.
However, on an incoming call, the phone doesn't push the CallerID tag to the bluetooth device. The same goes for the MusicID tag when playing music. From my intuition, I don't think these 2 features require a specific bluetooth profile but will rather need to be implemented in the music or dialer applications to function. I'm not sure why SE is leaving this out on the 2.1 update as it is a huge selling feature for their MW600 headset. All SE phones powered by Symbian or part of the Walkman branding all had these features right out of the box, and the X1 running Windows Mobile had it as a 3rd party support (ie. smartwatchm). It would be nice if a developer can add these features for Android since SE won't.
It also doesn't have the Service Discovery Application Profile (SDAP) to be able to provide the list of available bluetooth services to the master device. This was tested using my SE X1a. So to actually find out what services are supported, you'll have to find out the hard way.
Can anyone tell me what other bluetooth profiles are available now?
Summary:
Confirmed Supported Bluetooth Profiles in 2.1 Update:
-Hands-free Profile (HFP)
-Headset Profile (HSP)
-Object Push Profile (OPP)
-Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVCRP)
-Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP)
-PhoneBook Access Profile (PBAP)
Ok... i just found the supported bluetooth profiles in the X10
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile
Audio/Video Remote Control Profile
Generic Access Profile
Generic Object Exchange Profile
Handsfree Profile
Headset Profile
Object Push Profile
Phone Book Access Profile

Ringtone over bluetooth
Hi there. i think this is a problem shared by many users:
i habe a Bluetooth Handfree, in this case, FIAT Blue&ME. When i connect for example a Nokia phone and the phone rings, the ring is transfered to the audio systems of the hands free. With my X10mini i hear only the default RING RING from the hands free :-(
Is there anyway to enable handfree transfer of the ringtone in Adroid?
there are persons that describe the same problem but not for android: for example at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634494
By the way also SMS messages cannot be transfered to my Hands free Blue&Me. Anyone have idea how to fix this?
I think a new application to solve ringtone transfer to handsfree would help ALOT of users.
Regards and thanks..
OpenWatch is an app that is downloadable from the Market that allows bluetooth devices (like SE MBW-200 Bluetooth watch with lcd screen) to receive call/SMS/alerts/music player controls/etc. It supports a couple of other devices as well.

The "Audio Video Remote Control Profile (AVCRP)" is still at v1.0. We need a minimum of v1.3 to display track information on MW600.. :-(

[Q] Bluetooth Serial Port Profile on Neo V

Hi all. New member to this excellent forum. Have searched but could not find an answer to the question below.
Is there a way of enabling the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile in the Xperia Neo V? Can this profile be integrated in a modified ROM?
FYI, I have tried the Cyanogen Rom but with no success.
Thanks in advance,
Any suggestions / advice? Should I post this query in the developers section?
Thks
To be honest, I'm not sure what are you asking for
According to SE white paper the Xperia Neo V supports the following bluetooth profiles:
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile v.1.2
Audio/Video Remote Control Profile v.1.0
Handsfree Profile v.1.5
Headset Profile v.1.1
Object Push Profile v.1.1
Phonebook Access Profile v.1.0
I have an application in my PC (PhoneControl - no longer supported) which uses the Bluetooth Serial Port Profile (SPP) to connect to the phone so that I can use the PC to make a phone call. It used to work fine with my old K770i which supported bluetooth SPP but that was not Android of course.
So my question is whether there is a way (software wise) to enable the bluetooth SPP in the Xperia Neo V.
Hope the above clarifies my query.
Thanks

Hello, I have exactly the same question, since I want to connect my NEO via Bluetooth to my Win7(64) Laptop in order to synchronize Calendar and Contacts with MyPhone Explorer. It works via USB - no problem - but Bluetooth would make it even more comfortable since you dont need a cable
However, did you manage to get an answer? Thanks in advance!

[Q] Bluetooth Profile over App

As i saw a few threads about this topic, but still no helpful answer, if there were any at all, i wanted to ask:
Is it posstible to implement a bluetooth profile, especially the Hands Free Profile v1.5, as an Android App?!
I have a HTC Sensation and before the update to Android 4 my hands-free kit (Nokia CK-15W) show me my device name, provider, cell stats and battery stats.
Afer updating to Android 4, which brought the HFP v1.6, the hands-free kit only shows me the device name. All other informations are gone, since placing calls through the kit is still possible.
So, after reading specifications of the hands-free kit i figured out, it only uses 2 profiles: HFP v1.5 and PAC (Phonebook Acces Profile) v1.0
So i'm pretty shure the bug is somewhere in the communication with the HFP v1.5 and v1.6

[Q] Tablet as handsfree (HFP 1.6)?

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.

Me too
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:

Where is our Dual Audio feature in the phone?

Bluetooth v5 introduced a feature named dual audio, through which audio can be played from a single phone to two different speakers/headphones connected over Bluetooth.
Where is this feature in our phone? Even the recent update ColorOS 7.1, this feature is still missing!
please let me know if this feature is available.
Samsung already has the feature
Realme has.......sort of a similar feature

The option you are showing is the feature to connect multiple devices via Bluetooth, which is support to 5 at the same time with possibility of different Bluetooth profiles and I know about this.
Dual Audio feature means to share same Bluetooth profile of "Media Playback" to 2 devices at the same time.
I've tried, but our phone, as of 31st July, still doesn't support sharing Media Playback profile with 2 devices. It will switch the device, if i tend to change it, keeping the profile locked on to just 1 device.
On the other hand, I've tried testing the Samsung's feature and it shares the same profile with 2 different speakers. Bluetooth v5 has the capability to support this by default. Thus, its up to OPPO to provide the software support to it.

Like I said...I don't use it, but thought that might have helped.
Since I upgraded to ColorOs7.0 my Lypertek Tevi Bluetooth headphones now connect each individual earbud with its own Bluetooth connection. The Bluetooth symbol then states 2 devices are connected. The latency in games is massively reduced Vs ColorOS6 where only 1 earbud connected and then the buds talked to each other. Is that the feature you're referring to?
