[Q] Need advice from PPC-6700 folks on VZW XV6700. - XV6700, PPC-6700 General

Hi Guys,
I have an XV6700 that is no longer in cell-phone service. Been using it very infrequently via wifi to test my stuff for WinME. (Androids are what I mostly use now....), and as a music player.
The reason that I stopped using it was that the USB connector on the bottom got flaky for usb connections and finally doesn't work at all. Have to use the charge cradle to swap out my standard and hi-cap batteries. Use Wifi or BT or even the microSD to get stuff on and off it.
So, do I have 1. a P.I.T.A. music player or
2. something to get to a PPC6700 hardware modder
3. a repairable handset
4. or ????

bluetooth network

The scenario, which prolly many of you recognize yourselves in, -
Everyday i have to carry around a laptop, to work, to gf, to sweet home etc etc.
The laptop has builtin bluetooth and plenty of Gbs to store music and video.
So, what i'd like to do is be able to browse my files on the laptop and stream all these superplenty musicfiles.
Since i'm already carrying around this big heavy blob of laptopness i might aswell use the files stored inside...
The thing is.. i can't.
Tytn won't (can't?) discover the networking service on my laptop.
Tho my home-pc has no problem discovering it and using it, thus i've successfully created a bluetooth network between home-pc and laptop.
I'm sure it's none of the computers fault since both can discovers each's service and tytn discovers neither ones networking service.
I'm thinking it might be that tytn (wm?) doesn't support networking service over bluetooth albeit that's a little weird.
Is there any way to enable/disble/view provided bluetooth services (in the tytn)?
Are there any settings/hacks/3rd pary software which allows me to do this?
Same problem w/ my Sony VAIO Picturebook w/ built-in Bluetooth version 1.0.
So, I purchased a USB Bluetooth 1.2 dongle and Jasjam was detected as modem/serial port. Maybe Jasjam BT not backwards compatible w/ old version of BT?
Guys, please RTFWiki.
WindowsMobile 5 with AKU lower then 3.0 does not have support for BT Networking profile.

Strange USB problem

I searched for this but apparently my google fu is not strong enough to dig out an answer if one exists.
I have an xv6800 (originally verizon) that the USB port stopped working on for activesync or headphones. I thought the pot was shot and was flashing it to alltel using the SD card method when I realized that the USB port works fine in bootloader mode. In fact, I loaded a new Alltel rom over USB. The USB port still did not work in windows with the new rom.
Any ideas? The headphones I was trying to use are the ones that came with my touch pro. I have also tried the audio out on the Seido dock for the 6800 and it no workee either. It used to.
Any ideas? It is not the end of the world if it does not work (this is not an active phone...I was going to use it as an Ebook reader/media player) but this really is bugging the crap out of me.

Alpine Deck support on Samsung Galaxy S2

Hi Guys,
I got a Alpine Deck (ida-x100) in my car and everytime I plug in the SGS2 it makes the USB Connect noise continutiously and doesn't detect, I had a HTC desire and the phone worked with no issues (just no library support) Does anyone know if there is a way to resolve this issue?
It would be awesome if you could emulate the iphone library environment and make it compatible with Android!
Hi man, you can buy the alpine 400 kce bt receiver for ida x100 (I've got it too) and connect ur phone with this; the results are very very nice...handfree call, music, vocal command ecc ecc
Thanks man, might consider it
How do you control music/audio? is it via the alpine deck or the phone UI?
Also - what do you use for voice control? vlingo?

I had this same problem (constant connection bleep and storage not found). Alpine Support said the phone is not compatible but this is incorrect. You need to connect the phone as a Mass Storage device, not as a phone.
To do this select Settings > Wireless and Network > USB Utilities > Connect Storage to PC. Then connect to the Apline headunit via USB and I think you have to select Connect again on your handset. You have to scroll down through the first menu on the headunit to Music and hey presto.
Whilst in mass storage mode I do not think the handset has any other functionality. Personally, I am just going to keep a large USB stick in the car so that I can use the phone for GPS and calls (safely, obviously!)
Worth bearing in mind the Alpine only works with MP3 AAC and WMA.

[Q] Wireless Mouse/Keyboard App

Just built a desktop without a wifi/bluetooth card. Used to use Andromouse (and its later iterations) all the time with my Note 2 back when I used a gaming laptopn as my primary machine, wondering if there is a solution for LG G2.
If the only way is a bluetooth dongle, anyone have suggestions beyond this one:

Also, realistically, you think its just worth it to suck it up, buy and install an Intel WiFi card?

USB Audio Note 4

Had Iphone 6 USB on my 2011 Buick Regal USB Audio worked flawless, my wife's phone LG G4 works great.
Got tired of apple & decided to go with Samsung Note 4 now I cant get it to work, tried multiple cables, update to Lollipop 5.0 & 5.1 & none of these worked.
Called Buick they said I should use AUX cable instead, obviously I did not like that response.
DoI need to root? or is this a lost cause.

I would post a link to a website with pictures and information about what you are talking about as I have no idea what that is.
Once I understand what exactly it is I might be able help.
Just guessing but are you talking about some kind of headphone cable that uses USB to connect instead of jack?

edmunds (dot) com/buick/regal/2011/long-term-road-test/2011-buick-regal-cxl-turbo-pop-out-usb-port.html
Link attached is the USB port in car, you plug in any IOS device or LG apparently & it picks up the audio being played.
The Bluetooth feature doesn't support audio, was relying on the USB port to play music in car over Google Play.
Before getting android I tried a Samsung S4 Active & it would appear it registered it but would immediately disconnect on both sides.
I figured it was hardware side as my wifes LG G4 worked perfect decided to switch my iPhone for a Note 4 & when I plug it in the USB nothing happens.

OK link is useless as I cannot click it.
Have you checked if the company you got the USB from makes any kind of app or driver to use on some android phones?
I can assure you Bluetooth audio works very well as I use it often with my Bluetooth speakers. I also used it to stream music to my Sony car stereo via Bluetooth.
I have never used the USB to stream music but I know that there is an app that does some thing to make phone simulate a USB stick so if you where to connect the phone via USB to a stereo deck it would play the music on the deck from the phone.
Sadly I cannot remember what it was called.

copy link & replace (Dot) with a . , 2011 Buick does not support Bluetooth audio.
I've heard of this app but it required root, I'd be willing to root the phone but the amount of Firmware & versions seems like asking for trouble.

Well I can't copy as I use tapatalk.
www.google.com
Easy to make a clickeble link.
OK so that buick thing is not the USB cable so I assume it's some kind of speaker system.
Regarding the root. Custom roms are much better then bloated stock roms in my opinion so it's well worth it and specially now that Note 5 ports are out.
Plus even if you wish to keep stock rom just rooting it will give you full ownership over your phone but nonrooted users can't really say the own there phones as both Samsung and phone company have more control over your phone then you ?
Anyways I strongly suggest you at least root the phone. No need to change firmware if you don't want to but the rooting process alone will give you unlimited freedom with the phone beyond the possibility of icrap can offer with jailbreak.

Do you stream through USB or using MTP & treat your Phone as a USB Storage?
EDIT:
I found this thread & I hope it will help you.
USB Flash Drive use in Audio System
There's a possibility that your Note 4 microSD card was formatted using exFAT & the "old" Buick USB system can't recognize it.
Try to use FAT32 (with its inferiority towards exFAT).
Another solution is using AUX (Draining Note 4 battery)
Last resort is using USB flash drive
NOTE:
Some system can only recognize limited size of USB storage.
Some are limited only to 4 GB, some can only read 32GB & won't read anything with larger capacity.

Sorry for asking this, but do you know what streaming means? (no offense )
If you are streaming the music, it means you are playing the music from your Mobile Phone & direct the sound out of it through either USB, Bluetooth or AUX.
So Streaming will drain your Phone battery.
Usually, car USB system doesn't do this.
Car USB system usually access any device connected through USB as a USB Mass Storage Device & then play the content using its own built in Audio System.
Have you checked the link I gave you?

My car USB does have this feature can play audio of a youtube vid, google play radio, pandora, ect over USB on selected devices it seems.
As stated above it works fine with an LG & IOS phones but has yet to work on Samsung.
Thought there could be a quick fix out there, but that doesnt seem to be the case.
More likely going to swap my phone out for an LG if I can find someone willing.
Worst case scenario I have a iphone 4 which I will use via hotspot in the car.

Do you mean that you play your media on your Car System?
If you do, then check your microSD.
May be your LG use FAT32 for its microSD & Note 4 use exFAT for its microSD.
Some 2011 car systems can't recognize exFAT filesystem.

Thanks for suggestion but it did not work, for the meantime using an Iphone 4 via hotspot for my normal commute I just use FM radio.
Was thinking maybe I can have hotspot automatically turn on when I'm in my car but that might be too much to ask for with current technology.
You win some, you lose some this one I lost no one interested in changing Note 4 for LG G4 in my area.
