I am curious as to what makes BLuetooth work in android. Are there just drivers for a particular Bluetooth hardware like drivers on a pc for a WiFi card. Trying to understand what is so different from Bluetooth functioning on 4.2.2 and not on 4.4.2. I would think that the stock 4.4.2 works just fine. What makes the aosp-cm11versions so messed up?

To my knowledge they are just like drivers on a PC. The way I look at it - when it comes to drivers from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 is like Windows xp drivers trying to get them to work on Windows 8. Sometimes they work with a few tweaks here and there and (if not all most of the time) they don't work.

It may be a drivers issue. I know on windows, you need to download the drivers for your phone to be recognized.

Honestly, I'm not sure. Because I have the SDK and with just that Odin wouldn't recognize it. So I had to download separate Samsung drivers. Then it was recognized. He may need to use a friends PC. Again, I'm not sure. I won't pretend to know what you'd need for Linux but all I know is the SDK wasn't enough and we have Samsung drivers for 32 and 64 bit.

I'm not sure there is any for Linux. Just windows. That's why I said he may need to use a friends PC. I'm only aware of Windows drivers.

I found this thread.

It says the SDK drivers should be good for Linux.
I didn't know there was a release of ODIN for *NIX
Is your friend using a VMWare or similar or running ODIN via Wine or similar?
If you run it in a virtual machine you need to install the drivers, if it is an emulated app, a.k.a Wine, Cedega you will run into issues.
Damn ok its kinda weird that he can get it in download mode but the computer is not recognizing it its just weird to me

You can't use Odin in Linux, at least not by its self. Wine wont work because it doesn't recognize USB inputs.
If you want to Odin in Linux you have to get your virtual machine software of your choice. A commercial version, because the open-source versions won't allow USB drivers either.
There is a thread about this in general somewhere. There is a person in that thread that has done it and recommended a virtual machine software and confirms it works. I just can't remembered the name of it. I tried but after spending 2 hours installing windows i found out about the open source USB thing. By then my girl was home and i just used her netbook. [email protected]#k it.

This thread on androidforums.com shows how to make the OSE VirtualBox work with USB pass-through.
I haven't tried it myself, but I'm going to ASAP.
EDIT: It doesn't work. Must use the VirtualBox Personal Use and Evaluation License (PUEL) version which is free, but not Open Source. The PUEL edition has USB support built-in. It is available for download here. I am downloading and installing it now.

There is one way for installing it.
You need to have a drive from your phone something like mobiledrive (in stock 2.3 or search google for android driver)
They you go to start and type device manger.
Then you find your phone in the list and rightclick and choose install.
Go to the drive and in one of that folders there is the drivers. And install it.
Sorry for my bad english

I got them from the motorola Website and also installed what the auto start up when you connect it to the computer and neither will work.
I got mine from moto as well... Using 64x win 7 pro... Maybe do the basic trouble shooting... Reboot PC ... Alternate cable and port... Uninstall drivers... Reinstall drivers... Use a port on the back of the PC rather then the front... No hub... No extension... Stuff of that nature

I tried it again with no luck...removed all drivers from the pc...rebooted ...installed again with the latest drivers rebooted again plugged in with a brand new usb cable that came with this new phone, plugged directly back into usb 2.0 ports and still not a darn driver was installed. I wonder if motorola changed something on the Razr M as this is a brand new phone from verizon. I'm running windows Factory Windows 7 64 bit. I even tried this same thing on another computer running the same and got the same results. I tried various drivers from various websites for flashing and rooting and none of those helped either ...this has me stumbed. Issue with the phone maybe
Have your phone setup for USB debugging in settings?
I also think there's a toggle somewhere to use phone for USB or media storage.
I have Win 7 64bit at home and sometimes its finicky.
Also on your PC through System Settings I think uninstall all if your USB ports and reboot. Let your computer reinstall the USB drivers and then make sure you plug into a USB 2.0 port, not 3.0.
Not sure what brand you're using, but I know Dell can be a pita with USB drivers.

Hi. I recently switched to Windows 8.1 on my laptop. From this moment on, my Nexus 4 is unrecognizable by the PC. I've tried everything. Seached the whole internet, but did not find a solution to my problem. Is anybody else experiencing the same problems as I am? Is there anyone who can help? Thanks!!!

You mean MTP?
Try uninstalling any related drivers, and try again. Or try changing the USB port.
Yes MTP. Tried both. Still nothing...

Was it a fresh install of Windows 8.1? Did you disable windows update?
Is it an unofficial copy of Windows 8.1? In that case, it could be an OS problem..
Mine is working great on win 8.1 64bit with the latest Windows update. Make sure to install Android SDK (check the Android version you are running).
