Bluetooth widget with devices ? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, I have my HTC 10, and i'd like to know if there's a widget that shows all my known bluetooth devices on the home screen and if i click any device it tries to connect to it ?
I have a OBD2 dongle from mercedes, it's a Mercedes Me Connect dongle, and the phone doesn't automatically connect to it, also i have a bluetooth audio receiver plugged in the car it's Aukey BR-C2. I have to go to the settings and connect to them manually every time i get in my car.. It's supposed to be a SMARTphone, but right now it really feels to be a Dumbphone.. I think it's something really basic that i'm asking, and it's not there..
Thank you

Anyone... Please..?

My suggestion is to use the really famous app "Tasker" to achieve your goal. My good 'ol 5 seconds of Googling states that creating widgets should be possible with Tasker.
Good luck

(REQ) Bluetooth Remote control

Hi, im looking for a bluetooth remote controll for my Pro2. it just needs to switch between slides in a Power point presantion when the phone is connected to a projector.
Thank you
It sounds like you need a handheld Bluetooth mouse?
I'm lookin' for one, but can't find a definitive answer as to what will work?
I want to view & control the TP2 on my Pioneer Nav screen.
I'm sick of the slack interface of the crappy Pioneer.
PLEASE, can anybody help us out???
Thanks,
Raymond
there is a program for it. You need to connect your phone via bluetooth to other computer, or you can it to connect to the same wifi as your computer. its call gremote, you don't require anything else....

Total Input v1.0 should fit all the needs you want but i think it should connect to your PC first.

Android as a2dp bluebooth receiver?

I know its possible to send audio from an Android phone via bluetooth to a PC using the a2dp profile. But I want to do it the other way. Connect the phone to my amplifier and send audio via bluetooth a2dp from my laptop.
I've searched but not found. Anyone know it it's possible?
I think the standard BlueZ stack can't do this. I think the Broadcom BTLA stack might be able to do this ... IF you have the Broadcom Bluetooth chip inside.
Hi Pananza,
did you have success to use an android device as a2dp receiver? I'm looking for a solution but I didn't find anything useful.
The only solution that I have found is to use the NDK to access the BlueZ stack, but I'm not sure if this is the right way.
Thanks

Using phone as A2DP receiver
Hello
I would like to do this too, have a Sony MW600, and it works perfect with laptop or my HTC Desire, but it can not be charged and used at the same time..
Will it be possible to do this on an Android that is not rooted?
Did anything ever come of this? I'm looking for an app that would allow android to receive bluetooth a2dp or whatever the basic format is (mono ok), and output audio on the headphone jack of the phone. Bass ackwards to what all other apps i've found are doing. I've always been a "special needs" user

any update on this?
Wanting to use Android OS in the dash of my vehicle hooked to the audio system and use bluetooth a2dp to connect to mobile phones to play media through the system.
I'm looking for a similar setup. Has anyone found a way to turn android into an a2dp receiver?

You can transform your device into a wifi music receiver with the app called soundwire, you must install a server on your pc to stream audio from your pc to your android device. I didn't find anything with bluetooth.

Same here. More and more people are going to have "last years" android phone lying around doing nothing and this would be an awesome way to re-purpose it.
Whether it uses BT, Wifi, I don't care as long as I can stream audio from one android phone to another. What I don't want is to deal with DLNA or manufacturer built in BS. Just need google to turn on the A2DP sink profile and be done with it. The hardware is all there, just need the software to take advantage.
The next best thing is one of those BT reciever dongles/boxes. They run about $20 I think. So PSA to android developers - if you can enable this in a paid app I'm ready to buy it and I'll bet a lot of others are as well.

Did that tutorial works for you?
I've tried, but it doesn't work. My Panasonic TV doesn't see my phone, so I cannot play the TV audio thru my phone.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
I was also looking for an app like this.
For my old phones, my android sticks, ... no progress I assume ?
Waiting the same here! My idea is to buy a bluetooth transmitter, connect it to my TV and receive the audio on my phone.
I can't think that is not possible! :crying::crying:
Truck Tablet Install
Hey Everyone,
Been very curious about this as well as I'm going to do a nexus 7 install in my truck and want to be able to bluetooth additional music aside from what is on the tablet through the tablet to my speakers. Kind of a necessity due to the lack of a 3.5mm aux into the stereo. Hopefully we can figure this out!
n00b
?
I'm also looking to do this.
I'd like to be able to connect a Bluetooth transmitter to the output of a mixing desk, and then just use my phone to receive the audio (which I'd then want to save with something like tapeatalk).
This could provide a very quick method of recording gigs or DJ sets in stereo, and would be better quality than simply using the built in mic of your phone.
a2dp sink.
Bluetooth File transfer app can stream music from another phone. And this is where tha first phone works as a a2dp sink am I right? Can't we use that to built an app to follow it but using pc/laptop as the source?
Seems, that no one is interested. What a pitty, it could be really HOT stuff. For example, cheap android phone pluged instantly to a charger and to Car Audio via AUX, and You have got Bluetooth automatic pairing system for calling and music, navi etc.
Unfortunately I couldn't find solution for this, neither the app. It is strange. Some people says, that Android can not be a sink (reciever) in a2dp profile. So how does microphones from earphones are streaming audio to a phone, hmm?
Maybe someone will do it
I have a LG G3 and it does it flawlessly. It have a function called "Turn Audio Channel mode" on bluetooth settings.
I'm wondering how to do the same thing on any other andoird phones.

S Voice Launching in Car Dock mode

Hi,
Just got my S3 and love it to bits... I made the Car Dock cable as per the thread in the S2 forum and it works a treat, sound and charging out of the micro usb to my car.
One thing the S3 seems to do though is automatically start S-Voice when in Car Mode. Is there any way to stop this from happening? I only ask
because
a) Its annoying
b) When starting S-Voice, my Parrot car kit asks who I want to call.
Might be me missing something really simple, but any help would be good.

I'm not sure, but try the settings, if you haven't. Otherwise, before driving, close S - Voice and then you should not have it annoy you

Haha, cheers! I've tried closing it down as soon as it launches, but it already kicks in and does its stuff, waiting on S-Voice and Parrot kicking in asking me who I want to call as soon as I plug the cable in at the bottom and Car Mode enables.
Doing my tree in!
Hope someone knows, hope its just me missing a setting.
Has anyone else got a cable or dock that lets them plug in at the bottom and enables Car Mode? Does it load S-Voice then too?
Have you tried some apps like "Dock No-Op", "DockNothing Free", "Car Mode Off"? They should disable the default effect of entering car mode, not sure if they work though.

[Q] Bluetooth Autoconnect

I'm guessing the answer to my question is likely to setup a Tasker profile, but I thought I'd ask anyway. Does anyone know of a way to get Bluetooth on my OG to autoconnect to a device it's already paired to?
For example, when I get in my car and want to connect to my stereo, I turn on Bluetooth, then have to go to my paired devices and manually connect to the stereo. I'd much rather just turn on Bluetooth and have the phone autoconnect to the stereo.
I'll likely soon set up an NFC tag for my car, so I should be able to turn on Bluetooth and connect to the stereo with that, but wanted to know if there was another solution in the meantime.
Any ideas?

As long as I turn on Bluetooth before I start my car, mine auto-connects to my Hyundai Sonata just fine...

My phone auto connects to my car too. Even if I forget to turn it on before I start my car and toggle it on after the car has already started, they will find each other and auto connect. They do not connect instantly though (maybe the BT scan interval is a little bit longer). Maybe you just have to wait a bit?
I have Llama installed and have a profile setup so that when it disconnects from a known Wifi (leave home/work/etc.), the phone will turn on BT automatically and try to connect to the car. Another profile is set up so that once the BT does connect to the car, it will turn off Wifi on the phone and also turn up volume and vibrate "on".
Hmmm, thanks for the replies. I'm wondering if my issue is that I've only turned Bluetooth on after the car was running, not before. If anything, I'll just set up a Llama or Tasker profile. Thanks again!

Yeah, if I turn on bt after I start the car then it won't auto-connect.

Just a heads up to anyone interested. Tasker doesn't have an action to autoconnect to paired Bluetooth devices. However, there is an app available in the Play Store solely for this functionality:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwyLDEsIm9yZy5teWtsb3MuYnRhdXRvY29ubmVjdCJd
This app is also a Tasker plugin, so you can use it in conjunction with any Tasker profile. Good stuff.

I have a very similar issue. I have two bluetooth devices in my car. My handsfree system and a stereo adapter. The phone autoconnects to the handsfree system but I have to manually click on the stereo adapter every time to get it to connect. No ordering of on/off etc seems to alleviate this. Any ideas?

The app I mention above has an option to autoconnect to all paired devices. This might be what you're looking for.

Yea, already gave that a shot. Tried just the app, then tried a tasker profile that would try to connect to the A2DP device if the handsfree device was connected too. Neither worked. Gonna try another couple apps to see where it gets me; if not I'll just live with having to always click it in the settings menu until an AOSP rom comes along that I would be willing to run (not quite annoyed enough at the LG software to give up an SD card/8gigs and hardware keys)

Try this app. Have been using it for a long time now. I have the same problem as you. You can set it up to automatically connect to a second device ( your music adapter), right after it connects to the first one ( your car). There are also more useful settings there.

OBD II devices

Both Bluetooth and Wifi OBD-II devices are supported by our headunits. Keep in mind that you get what you pay for with these devices and the cheap ebay ones aren't very reliable
OBD devices are only detected if broadcasting name contains OBD. There is a work around using petrows CarService
Please report back any that work for you
Wifi
- VGate iCar 2
Bluetooth
-
Wired (USB)
-
Note: If connecting to wifi device, you'll lose you access to the internet (wifi/3g)
Curious about how to resolve the problem I have with OBD.
I use an OBDLink LX, which is far and away one of the best you can use. Not a cheap Chinese knock-off and it has specific support in both Torque and Dashcommand.
On my MTC KLD unit, Torque detects the OBD device just fine. Torque just works with it, I didn't have to do anything.
However, Dashcommand does not reliably detect it. Dash Command is enumerating devices differently somehow, and just shows "paired device" for everything. I was able to randomly choose one once, and it worked. The next time, it wouldn't work on either one. I would MUCH prefer to use Dash Command, as Torque gives me wildly inaccurate readings (MPG, HP, Torque, all are way off despite using accurate profile information). Dash Command tech support insulted me by simply responding to read the user manual PDF.
Any ideas?
I've just got a "LUJII Mini OBD2 ELM327 V1.5 Bluetooth Car Scanner". Works ok with my phone, and in the Bluetooth menu it seems to pair. But then Torque says it is not paired even though I have the OBD sign in the top status bar.
Need to force the pairing inside of the torque app by selecting which OBD device and then it works ok.

same problem for me on my kld 3066 Torque is paired and working immediatly.
dashcommand pair OBDII BT device but always don't connect, i just found that OBDII connect to dashcommand 80% of the times if I force dashcommand to close from Apps list and that I restart the App
I write lot of mails to dashcommand about this problem (also because i buy), ...I send Debugs and so...but I still with the same problem
Am I gonna also lose connection to may hands free bluetooth if I get a bluetooth one?
I never had one of those and would like to know which one you recommend for a Rk3066 HU
Thanks.
I got this one off amazon and for 11 bucks it works 99% of the time. The only issue I have had is it reads wrong codes on Subaru but works fine on Toyota, Nissan and Kia so far.

Hi all.....
I've got a SCANTOOL OBDLink LX connected to my AUDI S3 8P, and it's the fastest BT dongle i've ever seen.....it make about 45 Fps, when china's ELM make 10 Fps.....
Unfortunatly, the TP 2.0 protocol isn't available with a standard ELM327.....you just access to generic PIDs, so it's limited.....i'm working on it.
I also try a WBH BT5 dongle, witch should read the TP 2.0 with TORQUE......at the moment, i can't access to my ECU MED9.1 (but i can on KWP1281 EDC15P), i'm working on it too, with florian Help...
To paired with the WBH BT5, you need to override in Xposed MTC the dongle string name, and it work fine.

No you can bluetooth to more than one device at a time.
Anyone using VGate iCar v2 or v3 BT version? I wish to have one of these as they have automatic sleep mode so you can keep it plugged all the time without batt drain.
So I've tried both this adapter http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014MV03KY?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00 and this adapter http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NLQAHS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00
And I can't get either of them connect to bluetooth. They both show up when you search for the adapter, but neither of them connect. They don't even give me the option to put in the PIN to have them connect. Has anyone ever had this kind of issue? If so what can I do to fix it?

Correction - I found the settings page finally - apparently I hadn't actually enabled xposed MTC. Once it was enabled and rebooted, I still haven't been able to get the device to show up at all in the bluetooth settings. I've tried:
K
k
Kiwi
KIWI
Kiwi 3
3
kiwi
KIW
kiw
Kiw
as well as leaving the field blank. Still nothing in the bluetooth settings. I can confirm that the device is on and connectable from my phone. Am I doing something wrong?
has anyone found an adapter that plays well with mtcb decks and 2001 f150's? i've tried 3 adapters and still haven't gotten one that does both. either the connect no problem to my deck but not to the ecu or they connect to ecu but its named "chx" instead of obd and won't connect to my deck. i did try using the xposed module to override but it never worked for me either.
