has anybody managed to get an internet tether from a stock (winMo) hd2 through blutetooth?
i know it can be achieved via an HD2 droid ROM but i'm specifically asking about stock winMo.
Bluetooth pan works from my g2. What does the hd2 use? Pan or Dun with Bluetooth?

the hd2 supposedly uses PAN also but when i select start/tools/internet sharing/bluetooth pan/ connect (to the TF), i get "checking services", then:
"failed to establish internet sharig connection to remote device as it supports only network access point (NAP) mode".
stumped.
On my gw all I have to do is turn on its Bluetooth then on the Transformer I find my g2 in the Bluetooth devices and select it. Then I get another screen asking to connect to Internet. And that's it. G2 uses Pan.

tried it that way. i just don't get the "connect to Internet?" option on the TF; only "rename device" and "unpair".
i wonder if there is a hack to make the hd2 BT work like your g2?
if so, i haven't found it, alas.

your gonna have to install Cyanogen Mod 7 nightly. They just added the BT PAN function a couple days ago. Be warned though the performance of BT PAn isn't that good. They Highest i could get on a download was 1.5 Mbps and that a limitation of bluetooth. You'll do better using the built-in wifi hotspot in CM7.
quick update: i tried moving sims from my hd2 to my old tytn II and guess what? bluetooth tethering either directly via the OS or via wmwifirouter v1.52 now works perfectly! so something is definitely borked in the hd2.
works pretty fast too. i was impressed but it's really frustrating that my old tytn II can do what my shiny new hd2 cannot!
i have v2 of wmwifirouter in my hd2 which no longer supports bluetooth tethering. might try downgrading it to v1.52 to see if that makes a difference.
another update:
i downgraded to wmwifirouter v1.52 on my hd2 and the bluetooth option was greyed-out just as it is in v 2.00.
then i downgraded further to wmwifirouter v1.25. bluetooth option was now selectable! but ...
alas! while the TF pairs, it doesn't provide an internet option to it.
i tried it every which way: start bluetooth then wmwifirouter and vice-versa but no joy.
looks like the winMo hd2 is well and truly useless for bluetooth pairing to the TF, so unless anybody else has any ideas i'll probably give up at this point.
Put cm7 on it.

i know i can do that (and may eventually) but for the moment i want to keep it stock WM6.5.
I know that at the moment this isn't possible, but does anyone know if there is work being done on the Android bluetooth stack to enable a tablet to be used as a bluetooth hands-free device? A bit of searching shows that it is a regularly requested feature but I can't seem to find any info on any developers who are definitively working on this (except for one little questionable nugget that stated that the CM developers were playing with Bluetooth. Hardly enough to go on.).
I want to incorporate a Nexus 7 into my 370Z as a carpc but the lack of being able to integrate phone features is holding me back. Using data apps like grooveip are a no go for me as data connections around here aren't reliable enough for consistent daily use. Thanks in advance for any info.
I'm not to sure of what your asking, but if you wanna make calls from your tablet using BT this app allows you to do that as well as send SMS and MMS from it https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.apdroid.tabtalk hope that helps and is what you mean

I appreciate the suggestion but I don't think this will work. What I would like to do is mount my tablet in my car and use it as a front end for my phone to make/take calls the way an OEM bluetooth car system would normally work. My understanding is that your tablet must be paired as a hands free device, which android tablets currently don't do. I looked at Tablet Talk but when using that app from what I can gather when you accept a call on the tablet it actually activates the call on your handset. Ultimately I want to use the tablet as a hands free solution as I drive stick and holding my phone to my ear while driving is a no-no.
In the past I've used bt headsets but I lose them constantly and frankly I'm tired of replacing them. Oh well.
Well, good luck in your search! And you hit tablet talk spot on BTW lol. Oh and if you do find a solution, plz post it! This sounds like something I would love to use.

Thanks. I'll thinking I'll probably go the route of a more traditional carpc for now, but if and when this becomes a feature you can take advantage of with android tablets I'll have to reevaluate the situation.

This would be a great extension or compliment to the various apps that let you send/receive SMSs from your tablet via your phone. If I could at least receive/answer calls too, I could leave the phone elsewhere at home.
Just to let you know I've contacted parrot and garmin with regards to something like this.
I want a solution where I can make my nexus 7 a full media center with DAB radio and a good sat nav without needing a cellular link and hands free for my phone which includes the voice commands available through the tablet.
So hopefully they will get back to me and I'll post up here what they say.
Something I haven't solved yet either is getting all the antennae feeds into the nexus, I was thinking of getting a sharks fin antennae and wiring them into a raspberry pi to then blue toothing them into the nexus, I could also then attach a HDD to the pi to use it as a server to.
I want to do it this way so I can take the 7 otu and with me if I wish, rather than having it hard wired in. also if would allow for device upgrade.
Theres a nice thread on install and with references to the tasker app to get the tablet to work with the ignition and other functionality like that;

BT app
There is an app under development for this I think. play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.funkyandroid.phonelink
I'm thinking of dropping a Nexus 7 in my car but the lack of hands free bluetooth is kind of a deal breaker.
Did anybody ever get this working? I have my Nexus installed in the car, and would love to be able to use it as a speakerphone. I don't need to actually be able to make the calls via the tablet, just need to be able to use it as a basic bluetooth speakerphone / headset type of thing.
It sounds like it should be something fairly simple, but I cannot seem to find much.
I have been wanting this for a long time, I'd love to be able to take my older Android phone and re-purpose it as a car GPS/Internet Radio/Handfree, etc.
I know the Samsung Galaxy player has this functionality, I wonder if any of their devs could help out.
if this work in linux so i think can work on android
Hi to all,
i been looking for this "bluetooth role" for long time. I have read a lot of forum and the entire XDA posts about this..
it seems that this is the definitive question like "what is the answer to life the universe and everything" simple 42
and it seems that is the paradise for all want to make a carputer/droid/tablet/**** car radio replacement... so... i'm one of you
this post is for some devs (i'm a dev too) i'm asking for help ....
the problem is: which android version do you want to use?
why this question? simple: from the android 4.2 google has decided to trash the bluetooth bluez stack and reimplement the wheel with bluedroid...
i read the documentation about bluedroid at this site:
https://source.android.com/devices/bluetooth.html
and there was written that there are some profiles actualy implemented but not the Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile server.
Ok it's not a problem, taking a look to the template of other profile i can implement it.
now the question is HOW DOES IT WORKS?
so i searched and bum this is how:
version 1.5
version 1.6
ok and now? and now i tried to find some similar implementations and...
after another night of search i found this....
HFP For Linux
where there is the downloadable source code.
now I think we have all the necessary to make this possible...
BUT there are some problem that i haven't resolved yet for a lack of knowledge of course.
it seems that the hfp override any other profiles on that example, it's not bad, in a system that i want to use i need only a HFP profile and AD2P togheter all the rest is useless
i think that this at the end is a fork of the standard android project and how I/we can put it into a rom or a patch and who want to add to a rom/kernel? how it can be done? is a patch better ? a new kernel like franco's or better to submit to google?
I hope to have intrigued someone with this post and I hope that somebody can link me to some documentation to understand how to put all the information I have together.
ps. i have tried to reply into this thread:
[Q] Android phone as bluetooth headset?
but of course i have to few posts to make my suggestion there
I may be out of line here but try reading about the gmate+ device.
I got one paired with my Nexus 7 32gb right now and currently using it as a phone. I believe there are other similar gadgets out there, as I've done some researches before I actually got mine to work. I have yet to try it with a bluetooth headset paired because I lost mine just on the day when I was about to try it out.
Anyway, one problem here is, the app for the device is currently not updated so there are a lot of things that need tweaking and one major issue for me is the ringtone. As I have posted here before, sine N7 does not have native ringtone, there's no alert tone for incoming calls. As for text messages, the notification alert tone works. I know there's also GPRS for it but haven't tried it out yet.
Try these options...
As far as an option for a Nexus 7 you may want to try a sip dialer like 3cx or linphone or zoiper and establish a free sip account at iptel.org or something. As long as you have wifi or a 3g connection which some tablet have you should be able to make and receive calls, or try ""Blue Fi" from the play store. it may work.

I just got a new Nexus 7 for the same purpose of replacing my vehicles head unit with a tablet.
I am digging into the BT stack since I believe that I should be able to implement (or port) the profile on top of Android 4.3 assuming that the SCO data is available through the raw BT connection. There is an open source HFP implementation on sourceforge for Linux that migh be close enough to do the trick and save a bunch of coding time. It's going to take a while for me to get the time to dive too deeply into this one, but if I succeed or come to the conclusion it can't be done, I will let folks know.
Hello guys.
I am going to buy Nexus 7 for my car for the same purposes, - navigating, internet.
But mainly is for the Hands Free function.
Unfortunately, people saying nexus can't use it. But it's lol...I don't believe nexus7 doesn't support hands free.
Gentelman, tell me any way to make nexus 7 works hands free.
Thank you in advance.
P.S. if you ask wham am I mean when saying "hands free", so there is an example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZEFjDKtlao8
Use some Motorola MotoActiv Bt code?
I have a Motorola MotoActiv running watch... Features gps tracking for running and biking, MP3 player and Bluetooth... The Bluetooth is mainly used for wireless headphones, but if you have a Motorola Phone, the watch can display text msgs from the phone and you can use the headphones/mic through the watch to take calls. (the idea being that you can leave the phone in a pocket or backpack while you're bike riding, I guess, and still take calls.)
The device runs Android (I'm sure someone's rooted it on here). Maybe that code can be dissected and repurposed for what were all looking for??

Just an update on something I said in my previous post... I was looking at my MotoActiv watch today and it says you have to have an "Android phone" not a Motorola phone as I said in my previous post. So I'm wondering if the phone audio over Bt can be reverse engineered from the Motoactive watch for other android devices.
I actually decided to root my watch today just for the fun of it... it would really make the perfect "Car Head Unit" as it has Android OS, MP3 capabilities, FM Tuner, Bluetooth and Phone audio over Bluetooth built in... if only the screen was larger than 1.5".
Looks like the Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 2013 are getting some love in this area with a new custom stack:
http://www.bluez.org/bluez-for-android-status-update/
Looks like you need some compiling skills, but I think this is what you are looking for.
It must be work... Or not?
Hello guys!
I'm thinking on a same project for a while. It doesn't matter if not work for me, but would be great if yes.
I found something 2 days ago:
Parrot Asteroid Smart
This is an android base head unit/navigation, and the bluetooth handsfree is working on it. How it's possible? Any chance to port it into the Nexus 7?
solution
So i had an idea today and decided to call my carrier (Cricket). They told me it is possible to purchase an extra sim card and they will program the imei# to match my phone. This will enable me to make and receive calls on my tablet as well as my phone using the same number. Also i will have full access to my data.....problem solved with only 15 dollars. I hope this helps somebody.
I have tried 4 or 5 bluetooth headsets for GrooveIP / Skype / Vonage voice calls over wifi and I get horrible sounds that I could only describe as what you would expect if the call was connected through loosely connected high voltage line. It isn't just a minor background sound. It is extremely loud and this "sparky" sound overwhelms any other sound.
The headsets are what I have accumulated over the last 5 or 6 years and none of them are all that new. A Motorola S705 Soundpilot is perhaps the newest I have and listening to music is clean and sounds great for a BT connected headset. I believe I can record and playback through the Motorola Soundpilot using a voice recorder app and that appears to work without the "sparky" condition. All the headsets work just fine on our cell phones.
So do I have a something wrong with BT on the Nexus 7 or is there something about newer BT profiles that are required.
No one has any experience with bluetooth headsets for voice calls?? Any one using a BT headset for voice calls that works well?
Plantronics M20

I tried the nexxus nano I think it was called just assuming anything would work. Same problem. Groove IP is the only thing that works at all ... and then with the screeching.
So I wrote to Google. They refuse to tell me what will work. They just quoted Bluetooth 3 and profiles e.g. HFP 1.5.
So I spent money on a Plantronics M20. Again - Groove IP is the only thing that works (I mean mic & earpiece at same time) - but unusable because of the screeching. So a waste of money. Thanks Google for zero help and lowering my bank balance.
On other threads people mention they bluetooth calls working - but when they quote the model of their bluetooth headsets they seem to be ones that are no longer available and/or very expensive. And there's not a sufficient narrative there to convince me they actually work in all particulars.
Thanks so much. I called Google support today and got nothing and I was just about unroot and restore my Nexus to factory to test. I will carry a headset and test anywhere I find a Nexus on display. It may be one of those problems that not every tablet experiences. Thanks again.
Hey bro mine is working good with groove ip and a Motorola 710 and 720 BT head set I know they are a little older I also had a few issues at first but I kept playing with the settings and got it working great oh also try changing your WiFi channels I had to change mine to channel 6 that seem to help me I also use Google voice I hope that this helps and GOD BLESS YOU

Hey - thanks. I might be able to get a used Motorola H710 for about £40 from ebay (UK). Of course - it would be outside what Google specify as being supported but hey ho. Do you think you might be so kinds as to put together a quick tutorial (with all relevant settings-screenshots)? I've been playing "in the dark" with this stuff for so long now ... and my frustration has grown so great ... I'm almost "drunk" or I suppose "stupefied" on confusion and dismay and could do with a firm helping hand. Thank you.
i have the same problem. the screeching is unbearable. i have tried the samsung 1200 which was totally disappointing.. returned it today and got the plantronics m20 ( cant afford much even $25 was stretching my budget ) same result although this time i could hear my self really well for the first minute ( on the phone i called ) i could also hear it on the m20 but it was pretty low even turned all the way up then it just started to go bonkers again... i was beginning to think it was maybe because i installed that beats audio app or something but alas i have no answer for this condition. its very disappointing to say the least i cannot use a BT headset as i cant really make calls with the N7 in its case/stand :/ i am still praying there will be a fix or work around ? i know this can work but will it ? thanks

I found a Viewpad 10S, nearly new, for very low price on Ebay. I had to Buy it!
I've tried using two different Bluetooth Keyboards, with ViewComb 3.2 and JellyBean Rom.
When WIFI is turned on together with a connected bluetooth keyboard, keys are working for a while, then
it beginns, in every aplication, that one key gets locked, and so it is not possible to use
bluetooth keyboard f.e. with surfing in a browser.
exsample:
---> google-search for xda developers
i tipe ---> xda devvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv...
---> endles "v" until i turn wifi off, or wait for a while.
can also be a number, another letter, even commands, "back" f.e.
the keyboard work, with wifi off perfect. or on other devices. my xperia mini pro f.e.
is there a chance for a solution?
P.S.
I post the Question in this forum, becuase i think, this has to do with WIFI, Bluetooth Drivers in the custom Roms

This forum is not that active. The most action is going on at the tabletroms forum.
The only reason that you have this problem could be that wifi and bluetooth together is not a good combination. This is because of the way the tablet is constructed. It is using the same antenna for both wifi and bluetooth and there is just not enough bandwith to serve both. You will see that when you connect an bluetooth stereo headset and listen to streaming music.... It is just not possible. So i think that with your keyboard it is the same problem..

ok...
that is an answer. i will have a look on the board next days...
maybe i can find the point, where the wires of BT and WIFI come together. if so, i could try to seperate both lines and
set a second antenna, f.e from an old BT-Stick. i will have a look, if this problem is hardware-hackable...
but there is still my opinion, this problem can also be solved, by software.
the stock-rom of the pad, doesn't have this problem. i've tried it some days before. there were no problem to use
BT and WIFI, in different constulations, together.

Its a problem with frequency of Bluetooth and WiFi. They are both 2.4ghz and cause interference, not much can be done really. If Vega supports 5ghz WiFi that might be worth a shot,would require you to probably change router.
Its common issue with most devices (my nexus 7 and Vega too).

not beeing able to use BT and WIFI together takes many options of device away

Moving to General forum as this is a question thread.
Hello folks, first thank you for helping me with this one or if not, thanks for reading anyway.
I was wondering if there was a way to use my Nexus 7, in conjunction with my ancient sliderphones Bluetooth, to use the the tablet as a handset? I.E. keep my ancient obsolete sliderphone in my pants and dial and answer phonecalls on my tablet perhaps with an added bluetooth mic?
I tried searching to no avail but perhaps I wasn't using the correct search terms.
Thanks.
try tablet talk dunno if it will work with your old phone tho
Thank you for the reply. The feature notes states an Android phone which I do not have. Oh well, thanks though.
you can always try you have 15 minutes to get your money back after buying an app from the market place
Dont know but you can make phone calls for free on the Nexus 7 with talkatone
TalkaTone
