Bluetooth gamepad for HD2 Android - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Does anybody know if its possible to use a bluetooth gamepad with the currently available build?
I came to that idea while using Snesoid - I think that would be a really cool addition, but I remember reading somewhere that HID's are not ready to use yet.
Is this somehow possible, or will it be possible at all?
Thanks in advance

ElBartoME Kernels have HID Support ^^ So shu8i's Builds should work with that , try it out

Some questions for owners

I want to buy this device but i've some questions:
Does the browser support flash content like youtube .flv or .swf animations?
Does The SenseUI and the rest of software work in landscape?
Is there a GPS Navigation software available for Android?
Will be released an Android 2.0 upgrade from HTC?
Bluetooth bug and Alarm bug can be fixed?
tnx all and sorry for my bad english..
Does the browser support flash content like youtube .flv or .swf animations?
.flv works but little jumpy, you can use the youtube app, or there is a very good browser called 'Dolphin Browser' that allows .flv to be downloaded to yoru phone as a .mp4 file. cannot tell you about .swf
Does The SenseUI and the rest of software work in landscape?
Sense UI does not work in landscape mode, everything else does as long as you have the option ticked for auto rotation.
Is there a GPS Navigation software available for Android?
Yes, you can buy Copilot for £22 for 1 map or £54 for all maps, or just as good AndNav2 works great and is freely available. Plus, GMN may be launched in the near future (fingers crossed)
Will be released an Android 2.0 upgrade from HTC?
?? Who knows? I woudl imagine at some point but I cannot see it being a priority.
Bluetooth bug and Alarm bug can be fixed?
Don't know the bugs you are referring to.
thanks for your reply, wilfmoralee!
The Bugs are:
Alarm doesn't work if the device is in standy by, but i've read also that this issue comes only when the sim isn't plugged..
about the BT, it can't transfer files, i've read this in many sites/forum and also in this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=586700) --> "Doesn't have Bluetooth transfer built in. There's a bluetooth app in the market, but it won't work until 2.0 comes out for the tattoo. Sorry"
Another simple question: can i record a phone conversation in "both sides"? Is there an app or it has an hardware limitation like my Xperia X1 that can only record my voice?
many thanks
i can't find anything in the market that does this, and as far as i know it's not a stock option.
hey
i know the tattoo cant send files over bluetooth but can it receive files over bluetooth?

As ridiculous as it sounds - it cannot.
You can send via bluetooth if u download a app that is called " Bluetooth File Transfer "
It's on the market.

That app is not yet compatible with Tattoo. It needs Eclair to work correctly.
Hope HTC will release the upate soon
Hey!
It's been a month since the last reply in this topic ... any news about those things?
- Blue-tooth problems still there or are already solved (sending/receiving files)?
- GPS Navigation (that doesn't require w-lan connection)?
- upgrading Android 1.6 to 2.1 ... possible?
I would also appreciate your comments about the Tattoo; user experiences - why YES and/or why NO
Bluetooth file transfer will not work. The Bluetooth File Tranfer app does not work with Tattoo on Android 1.6.
I assume most GPS Nav. programs would use EDGE or 3G services rather than WLAN, since you won't be connected to 1 network while you're navigating!
Apparently it's possible, but there has been no documented or official way of doing it AS OF YET.
Why YES to the Tattoo:
It's compact. Good form factor. Affordable for me. Good social networking integration.
Why not:
Bad camera, both for pics and videos. Application compatibility with smaller screen(not all of them work, but most of the apps available on Market work fine). Battery life is less when features like Wi-Fi, mobile internet or GPS is used(as expected from any smartphone).
Can anyone confirm that "hcitool" is working in the terminal? "hcitool dev" should give information about the bluetooth adapter in the telephone. hcitool scan should give bluetooth devices nearby. I need to know this before I order this telephone. Thanks in advance!
"Permission denied"
Thanks, ok this means that root access is required to run hcitool correctly. Did you root your droid?
This is the tattoo forum. Theres no root actually for the tattoo and yes root is required to use this service.

Bluetooth File Transfer on Hero 2.1

Hello, I have a HTC Hero with Android 1.5 from factory, I've tested Bluetooth transfer and it doesn't work at all. Does any1 know if Bluetooth File Transfer works with Hero 2.1 ROM? I'm rooting my phone only to have BT working ... anyone use this application from market? Does it works? At first sight it's cool but can't do anything on my Hero and the dev won't respond.
Thank you!!
Yes it works really well on the HERO21 1.7 Rom
Also allows phonebook sync with my bluetooth unit
So I take it you mean this won't work at all on the stock ROMs?
I'm looking for a solution to get BT OBEX, particularly contacts and V-cards from either stock or MoDaCo 3.
nope only on 2.01 or 2.1 roms for Hero support OBEX. MCR3 is based on 1.5 and doesnt have obex support.

I can launch the program, find devices, do pairing stuff, others are able to find my Hero device, everything works fine. BUT, each time I try to connect with a device it gives me a service search error with a reason: "return false".
So I think it's something related with service search only, then the program will work correctly. NOTE - It works with Acer Liquid driven by Android 1.5
Thank you all

Yes, you are right, it's Android 1.6, sorry
However, doesn't work on HTC Tattoo (Android 1.6) too
I use BT intensively, shame on HTC!

The shame is on Google - they should've implemented more bluetooth profiles when Cupcake (1.5) was released.

Good ROM to start with?

The ROM wiki seems to be down right now and I was wondering if I can get suggestions for a good stable AOSP Senseless ROM for a clean Android experience.
Is there a repository for Sense Apps and Widgets if I wanted to add a few of them back in or do those have to be baked in?
I would like to see what the Android experience is like without Sense, but mainly I want to be able to use the WiiMote Controller App.
Are there any Sense ROMs with a full bluetooth stack that supports HID?
Thanks

Fresh is working for me. But I am a NOOB and don't have a clue what AOSP means.
Baked Snack is the best ROM hands down for beginners and experts. Herver really knows whats up.

Wiimote Controller + HD2 + Sense UI

Has anyone had any luck getting the Wiimote Controller app to work on a Sense ROM on the HD2?
From reading I have found that there is an issue with the HTC bluetooth stack that is present on Sense ROM's that is incompatible with the app. I never found a resolution and am assuming that no one has found a way around it or to fix it.
Is it possible to take the bluetooth stack from a non-Sense ROM and have it run on a Sense ROM? May be a stupid question but I just don't know...
I would THINK this is possible, just because there are so many other workarounds that these developers create. However, the fact that it has NOT happened yet tells me that it is likely impossible - or would take too much time/effort and nobody feels the need to do it.
Anyone?
