Hi,
Apologies if this is a dumb question - have tried searching but no clear answer found....
I am after the cheapest possible Android phone that my son can use to control his BB8 Sphero toy - which apparently requires BT V4 LE support to work.
I have noticed the Vodafone Smart First 6 is going really cheap and has BT v4 - but no mention of LE in the specs.
Can anyone confirm if the above will work with the Sphero or do I need a phone that specifically states BT V4 LE in the specs? Does anyone know a cheap basic phone - readily available in the UK that will work?
Thanks

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.
hello, i saw that new feature of android 4.4 that allow you to unlock your phone with a bluethooh device, so i'm lookling for a bluethooh keychain (with bluetooh 4.0 i guess) that can fit this proposal.
it's hard to find one on ebay, anyone of you have already sucessfully bought one ? maybe i should wait for that xiaomi miBand and attach it to a keychain, the battery seem good (30days)
thanks you
Hello friends at XDA
I am a guy who is looking to listen radio over bluetooth, because I find it very useful and also I don't want to waste my money using the data for this.
I made a little research and I find that only a few models have this particular spec, and a promising app (Spirit2 FM) sadly is no longer supported because the death of their developer (RIP Mike Reid). There is some ways to make it work, but none of it with absolutely certain.
The idea of this post is make a list of the models that actually support this feature, an serves as a guide to others who are looking for this. For example, I tested my Xiaomi Mi Max with Miui 8 and it support FM over BT, but the Xiaomi Mi5c don't.
I know that is necessary to connect an earphones in order to work as an antenna.
The list will be : Brand - Model - OS/Version - SoC
Xiaomi - Mi Max - Miui 8.5.3 - Qualcomm MSM8956 Snapdragon 650
Motorola - Moto G4 Plus - Android 7.1 - Qualcomm MSM8952 Snapdragon 617
Let's look if this idea works. If this post is in the wrong section, admins please move it to the right place. Thanks
Cheers!

Anyone haves an android phone who works with fm radio over bluetooth?
Hi,
I just get the leeco le max 2 x820 and I am eager to find him some VR mobile headset. I'm using my HTC vive since its original release so I'm not new to VR but I am new to mobile VR.
My phone is running the Final 5.8.5 Resurrection Remix Rom (Android Nougat 7.1.2).
So far I get :
- Most of the headset I see on amazon are cardboard like (but in plastic) without the controller (that sucks)
- Daydream store is locked (but easy to get in it with another smartphone), GearVr store is locked (is it possible to access it with a hack and that phone/another headset? Since the le max 2 is too big for this headset), same goes for the xiaomi store I think but since it's all chinese...
- The xiaomi white Vr Headset with controller ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBH91MhRtdg ) looks great, but I was unable to find if there was some hack to have it to work with the x820 (since it's locked to the : Xiaomi 5, 5s, 5s Plus, Note 2 )
- The gearvr is locked to : Galaxy s6 to Galaxy s8 (even If I saw someone managing to get some lg phone on it). My phone is too big for it anyway unless I missed something.
- The daydream headset can host my phone and I saw some hack for it in here with file edits. But as the gearVr it's kind of expensive for what it is ( 110 bucks when we could get a Microsoft MR Headset for 250 a month ago... ).
My goal is to play games (especially Keep Talking and nobody explode that I often play on my HTC Vive) that are on the mobile store when I'm not at home or going back to my familly. So most cardboard headset are kind of a no go because of their lack of controller and unfited support for the store I aim.
Has anyone with the le max 2 intended VR with it? Any advice? Have I miss some good headset or compatibility?
Thanks
Hi,
First of all, sorry for my English, it's not my main language.
After the latest update in Europe, mirrorlink has been uninstalled from my phone: the main reason I bought the expensive s10 was to use sygic navigation on my car (a toyota corolla with mirrorlink but without android auto), that I purchased for 50 euros.
To be honest, i feel cheated by Samsung.
Wondering if someone else is in the same or similar situation.
Paolo
Maybe I'm saying something silly, but since they have removed the compatibility in the latest version of the firmware, maybe you can download a pre-upgrade custom ROM that keeps the possibility of using Mirrorlink.
