Wondering if anyone knows what bluetooth chip our phones use?
I'm currently using the MIUI ROM and bluetooth is almost unusable for me (which is a massive let down, as I use bluetooth quite often)
I figure it's because we don't have proper 2.3 libs for our chip? Or is the chip just bad?

I believe that this also affects other HTC models, but I'm puzzled by it:
If I go to the communications menu and switch off the phone receiver, the GPS also seems to stop receiving. Enabling Bluetooth seems to bring it back to life, but enabling WiFi doesn't.
I don't always want to have the phone receiver working when I'm travelling using GPS, so it's rather annoying.
Does anyone know the reason why this happens ?
Are there perhaps some common parts of the Qualcomm chip that are shared by the GPS and phone and/or bluetooth ?

Ok got something interesting here and wanted to see if anyone else got this issue. I currently use a motorola bluetooth head set (S9-HD) when working out, I now have a polar bluetooth heart monitor that I use with sportstraker live (i have also used other apps to see if the issue happens in them and it does) Now here is the issue I am having. If I try to use both bluetooth devices I lose signal to the heart rate monitor and the audio cuts in and out on the headset...If I only use the heart rate monitor it works find and I have to use a wired head set which also works fine...my theory is that the blue tooth stack can not handle 2 devices asking for information...does this theory hold true? And if so is there a way I can have it where I can modify the stack so I can use both devices? I am using cyanogen 6.1 btw
I can't really offer any technical advise here. However, I did want to check and see if you've posted this over in CM's forum's as well. Your honestly probably going to get more help there since it's their ROM.
I was wondering if it is possible to use the FM chip in the phone and use it as an FM transmitter (like the n97)
I'm interested in hearing your thoughts.
Basically no.
For a start, you'd need a chipset capable of transmitting via FM as well as receiving. Just because you can do one, it doesn't mean you can do the other.
Even if the chipset is capable, for it then to work, it'd need to have the necessary drivers installed, which is maybe doable.
It'd also then need an antenna attached to the transmission pin-out on the chipset, which is extremely unlikely to be in place.
So technically it might be possible but in reality it's not - unless SE just happen to have built a fully-functional FM transmitter into the Arc and just forgotten to activate it...
Hello everyone,
is there anyone who uses his/hers defy to do some running training.
For example using the defy with a bluetooth heart rate monitor.
For the moment i'm using jogtracker app, but i don't know which hrm to buy
thank you
Bart

I am using "Sportstracklive" for a long time. "Endomondo" and "Sports Tracker" work too. The heart rate sensor I use(d) is(was) "Polar WearLink+ transmitter with Bluetooth". The problem with it is very poor battery life of the sensor many (all?) users get. This seems to be fundamental to a bluetooth hardware like that. See this thread for details: forum.polar.fi, "Problems with Polar WearLink+ transmitter with Bluetooth" (can't post links yet). I would avoid BT sensors in the future and will get ANT+ sensor (industry standard) and a capable phone (Sony has some).
I think the problem with the "Polar Wearlink+ with Bluetooth" is that it's not using low energy Bluetooth, which Wahoo Blue HR does. The only problem is I'm not sure Defy will be able to connect to it (i.e. does Defy support Bluetooth 4.0 Low energy?).
Hello,
I want to help a friend with continuous glucose monitoring. His pomp hardware has bluetooth and it is possible to connect it to phone. But only a few phones are compatible - Iphones and a few models of Samsung. When you don't have a compatible phone application displays error.
So, I edited build.prop and application works but I can't find CGM device. I wonder why. What is a difference in bluetooth module in samsung and one plus 5? Or maybe do you know other reason why OP5 can't find this device?
