"Support for A2DP & AVRCP profiles."
This are the two bluetooth additions in cupcake..
Please explain me this two terms and does they mean that i can transfer files with other phones via bluetooth?
Don't post wikipedia links i dint understood any thing from there...
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP)
allows you to transfer audio files to another device over bluetooth
Audio/Video Remote Control (AVRCP)
allows you to control audio/video on a device such as a computer or tv over bluetooth, as long as they support it.
there you go.
does any of these things allow me to transfer data(files not supported or apk files) over bluetooth?
or even images pictures?

I've just found another WinCE BT stack at http://www.bluesoleil.com/update/index.asp
Unfortunately it is not working just after installation. But maybe it can be forced to work like Widcomm stack after some registry or file modifications? I don't have time to check this myself, but maybe someone would play with it?
Nice one!
But:
Hmm i was just reading the user guide and it seems that Headset or Handsfree Profile is not supported. So this stack seems useless to me... maybe I am wrong though.... :?

I tried to install the BlueSoleil from that pages, but it's not working...
I was also unable to get it working, but I have reported it and I guess we will find out soon.
Dear all,
Just wonder whether we can browse specific folder or file located in the local PC harddrive from our PPC. To be specific, for example, can I open a movie player in my XDA and browse for a specific movie file located in my desktop so that I can watch the whole movie through my PPC.
I have also tried accessing the shared file using Bluetooth connection, but when I locate the movie file, the whole file appears to be transferring (copying) to my ppc local drive.
Any comments please!
You want streaming..
Look into streaming servers..
I would personally recomend darwin..
I've streamed music to my PDA over wifi, haven't tried video. Used Windows Media Encoder

pocketlan

Network utility for PPC 2002/2003.Browse,map multiple network share folders,printers,open mp3,movie on network with WiFi 802.11b,IP Config,Ping, IP Renew, Wake on LAN
if you can get tcp/ip access via bluetooth then use pocketlan to map the shared drives on your pc, then you can use fileexplorer (new icon called network) and then click on the files/playlists, they will then stream across instead of downloading!
dont try and stream movies at high resolution, it just wont work...well
streaming options (webserver based)

If you want a free solution, try GSfinder+. It also has the option to map network drives into \Network. GSfinder+ can be found here: http://www.geocities.jp/todamitsu2004/GSFinderE.htm. It works great with BetaPlayer at least (I use it for [email protected] mpeg4-recordings, 200kbps for the video, 128kbps for the sound).

will bluetooth work for networking? Or do I have to buy a wireless sd card?

Can I revert back to original state after hard reset? or even soft reset? Can I still activesync to pc using bt even with this new driver? shall I change settings? How is video streaming performance? acceptable even with files as large as 500 mb?
when you hardreset all data is lost
you can restore your backup from activesync if you made one
softreset is just like reboot on a pc it dont do anything
about streaming then the idear is that you dont download all at once but download as you need to display it and then download a bit more and..........
so it should not matter how large the file you are streaming is

streaming is not about the overall size of the file,
it depends on the bitrate of the file adn the bandwidth of the line (bluetooth only bout 1mbps???)
Guys, thank you for your reply. I mean after installing the Widcomm BT driver, will I still be able to activesync using BT? I'm currently doing this using the included BT driver.

Has anyone manage to work out if it is posible to do FM audio streaming via GPRS using Windows Media Player from a broadcaster.
go to www.radiofeeds.co.uk/pda on your phone, find the link for the station you want and click on it. Opens up in media player automatically
I want to develope ( or manipulate if available an open source) media player for android with the bluetooth avrcp profile feature support, so that playing commands can be sent from another bluetooth enabled cell phone. When I pair such a phone to my laptop via bluetooth, several services are displayed such as: object push, desktop control, mouse and media player, that is my aim to have the media player service when it is connected to android mobile. But the only available service it displays after pairing is the object push. What is wrong? Is avrcp the correct profile to work with? How to enable it? And how to access the controlling commands in my application? If not, then what is the alternative? My phone type is nexus one with rooted android2.2.1 stock rom.
Thanks

No idea? How to write a program to catch instructions via bluetooth then?
This outlines a solution to people with Android 4.1 and above who previously could stream their Audiobook collection to their Phone/Tablet using ICS or earlier.
There are a lot of threads about 'user access' to CIFS/SMB having been 'broken' in JellyBean, and giving very useful suggestions to fix this, but all seem to require a 'rooted' device. I suspect in most cases it is the inability to select and stream Audio/Video files from a networked source which is a main cause for concern.
This solution will work without root access.
Prior to JellyBean one could often point an Audio Book player to a shared folder on a computer or NAS, and access a collection of audio files from a folder on an external device. This is no longer possible for most of the players currently available.
I recently bought a Tablet running Android 4.2.2, and have tried many players, up till now, without success. Of course one can still transfer all files for a particular book to your device, and play them that way, but this is wasteful of time and device memory if you have your collection on a networked system.
Some 'File Managers' can access your networked audio/video files, but invariably will stop playing at the end of the selected file. Not much good for Audio Books.
Today I found a free App that solves this issue.
'Network Audio Player', (NAP) available free from PlayStore has built in CIFS/SMB networking capabilities.
It will identify your network WORKGROUP, and you can select/play individual files, and more importantly a whole directory for addition to the programs 'Playlist'.
The program remembers the last file and it's position, essential for listening to Audio books, and you can quickly manipulate your files. Audio files will play in the background.
The only thing it lacks is a 'sleep timer', which is very useful for book listening. All is not lost, however, there is another free application available to do this, called 'Sleep Timer'. So once your Audio Book is playing, just open 'Sleep Timer', set how long you want it to operate, and at the end of that time it automatically 'pauses' the audio play.
The 'Network Audio Player' interface is not, in my opinion, as easy to use as a dedicated Audio Book player, but not difficult. The 'trick'' is to select 'Network', then navigate to the folder containing the audio book you want to listen to , but do NOT open the folder. Highlight the entry, with a long press, then select 'Add to playlist'. Then select the Playlist option, and choose your file where you want to start. Finally select 'Playing' and all the controls you need are displayed, including volume and position sliders, plus play/pause and navigation buttons.
The above is equally applicable to music files of course.
Owners of Archos Tablets already have network (SMB) access via 'Archos Music', and this is also available as a 'paid' App. This is mostly satisfactory for Audio Books, in combination with 'Sleep Timer', but it does not remember the last track/position once it has been closed, so not ideal.
Playing video files via a Network, on JellyBean is catered for by many available standard File Apps such as Easy File Explorer, where the playing of just one file at a time is less problematic than accessing the multiple files of an Audio Book. Once Again, Archos Tablets have the Archos Video Player as standard, which allows the viewing and playing of network share files. It too can be purchased as a paid APP.
I hope this proves useful to Audio Book fans. It solved my problem very nicely.
Quick Update
The Network Audio Player now has a built in Timer.
As far as I can tell it is still the only App that has built in cifs/smb functions, which will operate on KitKat and later, allowing network access, selection and playback of Audio Book files/folders without having to download them to your device first.
Although it is still advertised only as a music player, it functions excellently with Audio Books.
