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.

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
Hey
I want to use my android phone (Xperia Z) as a bluetooth mouse/keyboard for my PC.
Does anybody know any app that lets you do that that is generic, which dont need you to have a client installed on your pc.
Have tried some apps that require a client but I ain't satisfied.
You could try 'True Mouse/KB' in play store, it adds Bluetooth HID device profile to your phone.

Hi Everyone,
This thread is being started with the intention of gathering more information on issues people are having with the Android Knight Rider stereo head unit.
Please see the attached file for the product specifications.
There is only a small community of users for this new Android 4.0 stereo unit available from the China manufacturers. Here are the issues I have reported back to the seller after using the radio for four weeks:
1) The volume of the radio is reduced to a minimum level when an Android app is playing music. The music is only going through the front wires to the front speakers when playing an Android app. Installation of the radio was correctly done because music can be heard through both front and rear speakers when playing music with bluetooth from my Samsung Galaxy 3 phone. There is a problem with the firmware in the Android software. I am totally aware it is not an Android option, its a problem with the way the Android 4.0 operating system was deployed within the radio.
Solution needed: An update to the Android software is needed to fix the issues with the music only playing to the front speakers. The sound settings are set to both front and rear but when playing music with any Android app the music will only play through the front speakers.
2) The radio was advertised to have two working SD card bays however a 64 gig card will only be recognized in the navigation SD card slot. The Android operating system will not recognize a FAT32 formatted SD card in the extension SD card slot.
3) The Android operating system often causes applications to hang. Google maps often gets suspended and the application needs to be closed. Other applications will only work for a limited time and then stop working requiring the radio to be powered down in order for the Android system to reboot.
4) There is no MUTE button when using the bluetooth telephone (Not in the Android OS but in the Windows CE OS)
5) When tethered to a Galaxy S3 phone for the radio to have wireless, there is no phone functionality within the Android OS. The phone is used within the Android OS it comes up with an error message stating "No mobile networks are available" while connected to a strong WIFI hotspot.
6) The Android Playstore app is extremely limited in the amount of apps it will find available to load. It will not find all the apps the my Galaxy S3 phone will locate when using the Android Playstore.
My radio was professionally installed so I know there are no issues being created as a result of a faulty installation.
QUESTIONS:
1) Has anyone else run into the same issues?
2) Is there a way to root this radio?
3) Would it be possible to have some developers work on a firmware update or the Android related fixes needed? The seller just wants me to return the radio for testing when I know its a problem with the Android software.
4) What 3G dongle needs to be used to enable the Android phone functionality to properly work?
Thanks very much,
Scott
i was trying to develop an app for android which by which i can create a MANET of phones using bluetooth and/or WIFI as communication medium. but as emulator doesn't support bluetooth there is no way for me to emulate or simulate it. is there any way other than using an actual device?
Furthermore, i want to test connection between devices, is there a way to simulate a environment like NS-2 in which i can put android as nodes and test the connection and other things between 2 or more devices?
Hi fellow android friends,
I have an older car with a big radio slot. I thought about integrating an android tablet there and connect it to the car stereo, but I have some questions if some features would be possible.
Basically I want to pair my phone to the tablet via bluetooth to mainly stream music to it. But I also want navigation (Google Maps) which I could simply use by creating a hotspot from my phone automatically when it's connected via bluetooth to the tablet. Also I want Call integration. So that I can start, answer and end calls I get on my phone from my tablet. I would set up a microphone in the car for better quality.
Is this possible? If so, how? With specific apps? Or flashing Android Auto somehow to the tablet?
