There is a link - probably everyone here saw it -
http://groups.google.com/group/android-platform/browse_thread/thread/73eed70fb229d7ae
I want to buy an Android phone, but I also want it to have this functionality (something that all Symbian phones have).
I'm not technical person. As I read the post in that link, I think it describes a way to modify the underlying os (root?) to get BT drivers to work.
If I read this correctly, the input methods have not been tied in to use BT keyboards (and / or mouse)
This would be huge for business users if the XDA community can get BT keyboards to work. It would allow people to leave the laptop at home (well...video out + powerpoint viewer would be needed too).
So do any ROMs have BT Keyboard support?
Currently I don't believe so but here is a start....

Yes. Thats the link I meant to show...I guess I copied the wrong link.
Sorry to double post but...so there are no ROMs with BT keyboard support currently?

Nope. The BT profile for that hasn't been included in any of them.

OK. So is it very difficult to include? From the link, it would seem that its not difficult to include...but I'm not a technical person so would not know.
If the BT Keyboard was enabled, it would be a huge thing. I mean, even just for manufacturers of the BT Keyboards...they would be able to state that their product could be used with Android!

Saw this and was really really impressed!!! Has anyone here tried this yet?

I can't wait to get my hands on Xperia.
And yes, i know this is not an Xperia only thing, but rather a Windows Mobile Software... but still!
Best regards.
about to try it.
tried it...works pretty well - it has settings to specifically announce stuff over bluetooth - will work a treat with my car I reckon.
Doesnt pick up my voice all that well though - mind you, i do have manflu at the mo.

Cool!
So tell me one thing, do you have to hit the button on the mobile each time to issue a command? Just wondering if it can sit dominant and not require you to hit a button first?

You need to press a button to attract its attention. This can be a button on a bluetooth headset, which is where the software really comes into its own.
Voice Command Xperia - Problem
Hi all VC working except that it does not read out the number/name on incoming calls. All the right boxes are ticked in the options as I have used MSVC for the past two years. Can anyone confirm this working or not on your Xperias. I have tried all the version for 6.1 roms. Thanks all.
I know this problem has been in existence for years (Tytn). See other threads for this problem on XDA, sorry, can't provide link at this time.
i tryed it but dint like.
I`m using vito voice2go and that works for me much better.
http://vitotechnology.com/en/products/voice2go.html
try it.!
Sorry to sound thick but I can't seem to find voice command anywhere on my xperia
Can anyone be so kind to tell me where it is in the menus, thanks

VC 1.6
or go to tpb... where i got it... (im the dude in the video)
In t-mobile version in germany there is an other voice dialing system already installed. I forget the name but this must program must be trained therefore you have to speak a word or some words and associate this with a number/command.
This tool was already used on the tmobile ameo and for me it worked not very good. The recognition of named was not very good when many named has been trained.
The windows mobile voice command solution is much better and works fine on my x1 .
I saw the youtube video and was very surprised because I didn't know the features for music playing. Maybe I have to look for them. I have the german 1.6 version intalled.
best regards,
stefan

Ok... did the usual search thing... haven't read or found any new information on this issue.
Considering it (BT FILE FUNCTION) to be one BIG omission on the Android platform and/or with the HTC handsets, I am interested to know if the functionality of file transfer (and whatnot) has been made available, will be made available or has been put into any of the ROMS... to ANYONE's knowledge?
Thanks in advance for your replies.
let me add on, does anyone know if SPP or HID profiles were added also?
I know damages Rom does send/recieve, stereo audio, and the basic Bluetooth stuff.
Darch legend does the same plus Bluetooth ftp.

**BUMP**
Wow... I find it hard to think with all the Dev's here nobody has ANY insight or anything to say about the BT issue? I know the profiles have been updated for the 2.1 release, but that's about it. No word of FILE functions? Wow...
Well, in any event, I appreciate ANY word on this subject.
TIA

Not sure if this is widely known or not, but BT file transfer works out of the box now. I paired it with my Mac and sent a file with no add-on software. I couldn't make that work in 1.5.

Note, That is a push from the computer to the phone. I installed BT File Transfer from Market to try phone to computer...no dice. It errors out. At any rate, it's an easy way to send a wallpaper or update.zip.

So now that you have been using WP7 on your HD2, what would you change about the OS? What is it missing? What apps would make it awesome?

More flexibility, copy paste, file transfer, real GPS navigation and tethering.
There is a thread, already talks, about, and them
That's what missin
A camera that works fully.
Tomtom to work but i think that will come.
Apart from that i think wp7 i excellent.
From my side WP7 works amzing, but I miss an option an a feature much
connect WiFi to hidden networks.
Bluetooth rSAP support to connect the phone with my car audio system
[Edit]
GPS navigation is working perfect, but only Navigon is available at the moment which works on WP7
Copy & Past will come with the update (hope that HD2 user can also get this update)
Messenger Multitasking/Running in Background & ICQ Messenger
I miss more useless threads in Developement section, but thanks to you it's not a problem anymore
I miss being able to get useful input instead of dealing with trolls all day... I am an app developer and looking for ideas for the next app to build. Thanks for your enlightening input.

Go to General section, your topic has (at leat now) nothing to do with developement. Also now I believe that it has nothing to do with HD2 either. And there were already tons of "what's good what's bad in WP7" threads here.
This thread is in response to numerous posts/requests for a fix to a bluetooth A2DP soundquality problem.
As pointed out in other posts, the libraries for Bluetooth (liba2dp.so etc.) have a setting for ‘bitpool’ which is fixed to a low value by default.
People – including myself – are experiencing 2 major issues with Bluetooth audio over A2DP protocol with default bitpool values (or so we claim) :
1) The highs tend to sound 'fuzzy' and sometimes crystalize.
2) Higher bitrate mp3s will break up as if there is a buffer problem.
As someone who produces music and owns a media company, I have a keen ear and equipment that allows me to confirm this problem at least on my end.
It should be noted that this has been brought up in various threads Eg:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16021615&postcount=664
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082220&page=2&highlight=a2dp
The purpose of this thread is to establish a genuine problem and implement a fix.
We would welcome input or any user experiences relating to the above issues.
Are we also able to determine if A2DP is piping the audio over SBC or passing MPEG audio direct to the headunit to decode which should result in much better quality.
It would be helpful if we could find some documentation on the format of the /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf file as various settings in there can help/hinder connections and audio quality a bit.
I'm all for improving the bluetooth support/quality given that I rely on it in the car for hands-free, music and navigation.
@JF-GINO You would probably have access to an oscilloscope if you're running a media company, any chance of running the output from a bluetooth connected device through that with a few sine waves to see if it is compressing/clipping the audio?
Thanks guys. I will try and send the two lib files today.
For the purposes of testing, I ask you do not try and compare the files, as obviously that could influence results...
I'll post the files in a zip and anyone interested can try
- their stock bluetooth
- file A
- file B
And make any comments they wish on quality, both absolute and relative...

As soon as we get the modded files, I can post the isolated diferences between waveforms from each as a comparison.

Yep, Unfortunately I don't have the files available until monday. If I posted links, then it would negate benefits of blind test unfortunately.
I am subscribed to this thread anyway. Remind me on Monday to get the files

Hi Pulser, knock knock
I'll be more than happy to help with this, since I bought a Bluetooth headset without searching around about any problems, and here I am, facing horrible sound quality...
Samsung Charge here
and I have the same problem. I feel like taking my phone and drive my car over it. I would do anything for a library that works on this stupid droid phone.

Yes my Master...pleassse
OK... As before, I ask that you do not try to work out the paths to these files or anything. Just try them out Then post feedback. And no hex editors, or comparing checksums... That's no fun.
File A: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/SGS2/VRTweaks/a2dp/A.so
File B: http://www.villainrom.co.uk/SGS2/VRTweaks/a2dp/B.so
Rename to liba2dp.so and put in /system/lib/ and reboot etc. Then comments welcomed
I've done all you said, but I'm not able to tell the differences about file A and file B, in my opinion the sound quality is the same as default liba2dp.so
Droid Charge.
I get less hesitation with A than I get with B and I think both are doing better than my current stock. I will keep testing A more.
Ok very interesting.
Tomorrow if everyone is done, I'll tell you what each file was...
Please wait until the evening I would like to test it to but unfortunately I can't download it on Android I have to go via my computer. Android shows me just a ****ed up version of the code.

You can use Opera to download the files, with stock browser and Dolphin there is no possibility.

Well I am trying to figure out how I can get the BT module from a 2.2 rom to a 2.1 rom. This cuss I want to get the media keys from a BT device working. Now they just don't do anything on 2.1 VE6.2...
Well that is my main goal to get those working
Any idea's and tips are welcome
Already checked if the event is logged when I press the button on the radio and the logcat doesnt show a press recieved thingy. so that is a no.
I'd recommend posting this on the cdma forum as well, and maybe in some non-device-specific android dev forum too since it may be a simple answer like "android 2.1 doesn't contain the code necessary to work with 2.2 bt button control libraries" or something like that.
I have a feeling that what you're trying to do is impossible - I mean, android 2.1 never claimed to have bt button support, and it's highly likely that android 2.2 bt libs will simply never work with android 2.1 in that way.
BUT I REALLY HOPE YOU CAN MAKE THIS WORK!
:-D
cdma forum is more dev-aware than gsm forum I think. good place to start.

cool, forgot that part. HTCish seems likely. they change so much that android 2.1 isn't really 2.1 any more.
I hope you can pull it off. I'm NOT saying that I know it is impossible. I don't really know. but it seems likely that aosp will have a different set of conditions from sense roms and working in one may not mean it's possible in the other.
Ok I need to get AVRCP implented into the ROM. Then it will work. VE does not have it.

Ok the app does not work. To bad. But well after I read what it does. kinda logical. Like I said. something HTCish makes it work on the sense roms. Well I just need to get that darn profile to work and then it may work.... But guess not
