Hi everybody,
I wonder whether it is possible to use my old I9100 as a bluetooth car-kit. I have already connected the speaker plug of the phone with the aux-in of the radio using a 3,5mm jack cable. I am trying to connect the recent phone via bluetooth - unfortunately after pairing the two devices the popup to select "telephone-audio" or "media-audio" will apperently not occur.
Is there any way (e.g. using a certain app or or custom ROM) to emulate a "real" car-kit? I am currently on 4.1 DBT Stock. But it would be no problem to switch to CM or comparable if a custom ROM will offer the ability.
Thanks in advance
HiHiMan
Try slimSaber, go for the last build, flash rom and gapps, arm=>4.4=>pico package. worked for me on an asus X501U, it has bluetooth audio.
Hi ultravy,
unfortunately slimsaber offers only "media audio". To connect the recent S5 in order to use the SII as a "BT speaker" the other option "telephone-audio" is needed.
I was also not able to stream music from the S5 to the SII, although "media-audio" was ticked.
Any other ideas?
I also tried CM11 which offers also the media audio option - but also no "telephone audio". Is there any app to use the SII as SAP /rSAP receiver?
...digging out as I am still looking for a solution
Does anybody have an idea how to pair my current phone via bluetooth and activate "telephone mode" on my I9100?
Is there any chance to enable A2DP to act as a bluetooth sink??

Hi Everyone,
Anyone having experience with how to get bluez to work reliably with the "Renault RadiotSat Bluetooth"?
I'm running now "Resurrection Remix ics v9.0" with XXLPH kernel and it works but very unreliably.
When I start my car It get paired with the phone but if I won't use the phone for a minute or two it will disconnect and then I can't get to reconnect again.
The only way is to turn of the car and start again
I tried to changing the:
Code:
/system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf
By adding the:
Autoconnect=true
HFP=true
But that did not improve the quality of the connection.
Any hints how to troubleshoot this?
My plan is to run "adb shell" and check while connected to the Radiosat and maybe see why
it gets disconnected...
Does the /system/bin/bluetoothd log it's information to any logfile?
The bluez version I'm using is 4.93... noticed that the latest is 4.98... Will that make any difference?
I've tested the "Renault RadiotSat Bluetooth" with my old Nokia E52 and my old HTC desire and with both of them it works much better. I do not get disconnected and I can even access my phone book/phone log and get information from the music player on which song is playing....
Any hints which settings in bluez to get that running as well?
Thanks in advance,
Michael
galaxy s2 and BT in Renault Radiosat
Hi,
I have lot's of problems with BT on my SGS2 that uses official FW. You can find on the Renault website that this phone is not supported.
But I also found that even supported phones give problems (my radio is restarting).
So this is problematic for all devices - I have no idea why - but BT stack in galaxy is too good/new (fast) for such Sagem based device.
Hi All,
I am purchasing a Lexus IS250 shortly and I have been using a demonstrator version. I have a Galaxy S2 and can link the bluetooth ok for voice calls, etc. However I cant seem to link it for bluetooth music streaming. Does the S2 not have this capability?
I have tried using Checkrom (GB), Cyanogenmod (ICS) and MIUI V4 (ICS) and none seem to have that ability.
Thanks guys for any help!
Well, I am in India and the bluetooth streaming works great in my car.
After I connect my phone to the car, I get an option of "Streaming" in the various sources that I can select from viz., CD, Aux, Tuner, etc..
So, the answer to the question is, it does support streaming. You may want to fiddle a bit with the system on your car to see which option actually detects music streaming.
Check the bluetooth pairing in the phone settings. If you go advanced options (or whatever the menu is) you should see an option for connect to phone and connect to media. My guess is media is unticked.
I've been using ICS MIUI roms .. (used a few now)
Bluetooth works fine with them.
Even check ROM works.
What does'nt work and works only with MIUI roms is AVRCP !!!
Hi. I have a Galaxy S Wifi 3.6 (EU edition of Galaxy Player 3.6 - YP-GS1). I'm trying to stream audio to my Car Stereo (built-in Ford Fiesta audio). I have been able to pair my Galaxy to the Ford Audio bluetooth receiver doing this :
Enable BT discovery on my Galaxy
Search for devices
My Car Stereo gave me a pin and i entered it in my Galaxy
Now, i see a BT device named "Ford Audio" on the BT settings page, but it does show a phone icon. I don't know if this is right or not, as i don't have any other BT receiver to test. It shows as "paired" (even when i'm far from my car), but i havn't been able to get the Music from my Galaxy to the Car Stereo via A2DP so far.
I have installed a few different widgets from Google Play to control BT but no matter what Widget i try, i can't get the status to "connected" (for those Widgets that actually show a status). Also, when i try to use the menu of my Car Stereo, i can't see my Galaxy in the connected BT devices, whether i look into Phones or Audio / Bluetooth.
I guess i messed something up, but when searching on the net how to do this, it's always very simple : enable BT discovery, search and enter the PIN (which is exactly what i did). Then everything will work fine (actually, nothing works at al l )
EDIT : I should probably add i have Androïd 2.3.6 stock rom (non rooted). Version n° is GINGERBREAD.XXLD1.
Hi guys, so I have a Chinese made android deck running 4.1.2 with I guess is a custom rom from their factory. It works pretty well but they have locked the bluetooth function to only allow incoming inconnections (meaning only my phone can connect to the device). I have an OBD bluetooth transmitter that I would like to connect to the device but the "bluetooth" options menu in settings is hidden. I don't see any reason why my bluetooth OBD can't connect with the deck seeing it connects to my phone fine. Are there any workaround/apps/xposed modules that will allow me to accomplish this?
Let me know if the explanation is not clear. Thanks in advance!
I'm looking for the answer to this also... I tried looking for a bluetooth connection app with no luck. My tocado android double din is running kit kat 4.2.2 and I assume they only allow bluetooth connections for audio and only want you to buy their obd 2 device. I can go into the device settings in the torque app and see my phone and other bluetooth devices but somehow my obd device isn't reckognized... it seems they are blacklisted somehow. Has anyone tried a wifi or usb bluetooth obd2 device? Maybe that will work?
Hi all,
I currently have an I777 with CM11 M11 ported from I9100 and the Shift kernel. It is stable for the most part.
I can connect both my headset (via HFP) and car media player (via A2DP and AVRCP) and everything works fine.
I was wondering. Would I be able to connect a Bluetooth keyboard to this phone (via HID profile I believe)? In other words, would I be able to use the Satechi Media Button with my phone? Is supporting Bluetooth HID a hardware specification (i.e. Bluetooth version) or a software one (i.e. OS support)?
