Hi guys,
is it possible to use signal from ANT+ device in app that uses only bluetooth smart api? I mean emulate (translate?) or sth? (Im a real noob)
I have ANT+ HRM and would like to use it with micoach app (adidas sucks and isnt interested in adding ANT+ api to its app).
No. ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart are different wireless protocols, using different API's and different stacks (think WiFi vs. Bluetooth).
To allow an existing app that uses Bluetooth Smart to use an ANT+ device, you would have to replace the Bluetooth stack on your phone with one where you have changed it (not changing the API) so it uses the ANT+ stack and translates between ANT+ and Bluetooth packets and adds in info for Bluetooth advertising. Not a trivial task.

I recently came across a 100% java Bluetooth stack that communicates with the BT chip simply via UART (http://www.javabluetooth.org/). Does anyone know if the BT chip in our HTCs (I personally own a Kaiser) is accessible as UART device? If yes, shouldn't it be possible to put together a custom stack (c++ or c#)?
any input is welcomed...
We have 2 I9000M's, and I've read that it was inherently possible to connect 2 devices with BT 3.0 to one another. Has an app been developed to do this. The article I read was on the upcoming WiFi Direct challenge to Bluetooth, and they listed both radios capabilities. We also own a set of Cardo Scala Rider Q2 helmet communicators that allow us to talk up to 500 meters via Bluetooth 2.1. So my curiosity is why nobody has capitalized on this technology. And if they have, where is it?
problem is that android needs the bluetooth profiles like normal oes, but guess what, not included. sgs is capable of bt 3.0, yet so many have problems with carradios (direct copy of contacts, basic free hand, voice dial) and so on. sgs has a full usb contoller, yet not drivers in it, its the same thing.
as for direct connection, i recommend bump (in market)

Hi guys,
Yesterday I was thinking about how to enable the NFC sgs2 not have this technology, so I thought that using bluetooth or wifi direct you might also enable nfc
Android is not a developer so I need someone who can create a program that "hijack"the signals that are transmitted via the nfc nfc chip to an external device via bluetooth or wifi direct, then I did this I will create a hardware device composed of the NFC chip and a receiver / transmitter bluetooth or wifi direct to hide behind the battery, you will be able to receive the signal and then sending it to the NFC chip.
Does anyone know how to help me?, I am completely new in the Android paronama.
Think you need an extra chip for that, not as "simple" as hijacking a signal.

From what I understand, I think he is suggesting an "external"/standalone NFC device that will communicate with the phones via Bluetooth or Wifi.
@OP
I suggest you look for NFC capable android-arduino (open source dev boards for android phones).
Like this(I think this is exactly what you want to do as that board all needs is a BT module and an android program to interface with the board.):

I think the only advantage of NFC technology is security.
It was intentionally design to attenuate in a very short distance for security sake.
If NFC signal can be transferred to another wireless signal,then why we use NFC in the first place.
I have an embedded system using a Bluegiga Bluetooth chip and a PIC processor. I want to establish a connection directly with a Smart watch so that I can post text messages from my embedded application directly onto the Smart watch screen. In essence, the Smart watch would act as a "console" for the embedded system.
I can't seem to find an appropriate SDK that will allow me to do this (i.e. develop an app on the Smart watch). Bluetooth transmissions are always encased within a message wrapper that must be generated on a paired and supported smartphone. What I want to do is interface directly to the Bluetooth chip on the Smart watch (bypassing the smartphone), and connect/transmit/receive to my embedded system directly via Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port Protocol).
Does anyone know of a Smart watch SDK that would allow me to do this?
I don't care about the brand of Smart watch. Only that it is really exists and can be purchased, and that it has an SDK that supports direct Bluetooth communication.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
Hi, does anyone know if there is any information about what communication protocol is used between Android wear watches and Android phones? I'm working on developing a wearable device and we already have notifications working with iOS devices via Bluetooth LE by using ANCS. We would like to achieve the same with Android phones and as there are already a number of Android wear watches out there, I presume there is a Bluetooth protocol defined by google that is being used between them that we could implement, rather than having to come up with our own custom protocol?
Hello, any news on this? I would like to fake the Android-wearOS connection once the phone is out of range with another BLE device.
