I recently became the owner of the above phone. I have read many many posts on this forum and have gleaned many snippets of informaiton, but guys and girls, you don't half have a lot of terminology that baffles an outsider to the other side of disbelief.
I am a programmer by trade, big computers and databases, you guys have managed to confuse the hell out of me.
Anyway, a bit of advise please
My Orange MV700 works in Hands Free Mode (Phone pairs with Audi as BT handsfree) with my Audi Bluetooth (2007 A6 with MMI), in that I can access most features of the phone . last calls, missed calls, directory (Windows Contacts listed as Contactt1/W Contact2/M etc. This is good as I can store multiple numbers per contact. The only downside I believe is that I cannot benefit form using the cars inbuilt aerial which requires Remote Sim Access which I believe Orange turn off.
My Previous phone a samsung had rsap (pair to phone from car kit) but only listed one number per contact (either from phone memory [which will allow more than one number per contact] or the sim), it used the phones aerial but since the phone was so crap in the first place I was lucky to get a 30 second call without fallout.
I would consider enabling rsap on my phone if I can still have access to the windows contacts in the same way I do now, or is Sim Access limited to reading only info on the sim?
I would also consider upgrading to Windows Mobile 6 if it works on my phone and I can have the desired usage that I mentioned previously.
If anyone can make use of the firmware of my phone please let me know with instructions of how to extract and it.
Many thanks for your attention to this matter.
Cheers

I'm from Hyderabad, India and I too have purchased the LG Optimus 7 from Singapore (via a relative).
I have a cheapo bluetooth stereo headset, the Bluedio AV890.
While it worked perfectly fine with my older Nokia E51, the Optimus 7 does not recognize it. Will try another bluetooth device and tell you if it's a problem with the phone or the headset.
Hi, I have the following problem in my LG Optimus 7.
I have it connected with the A2DP supported bluetooth headset Plantronics Boyager Pro UC V2, and all the system sounds, including sms and email alerts go to the headset due to the A2DP support. With Ringtones it's fine. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks in advance.
hi,
I've just bought an optimus 7 as well (UK), and have the BLUETOOTH "perpetual searching" problem where it never finds any bluetooth device (despite me trying 3 bluetooth headsets which work just fine with every handset i've got from SE P900 through A HTC Touch Pro 2 - in fact all 3 show up when in pairing mode on the HTC screen while the LG just "searches")
I've called the UK LG support team who tell me this is NOT a hardware fault and they have MANY customers with the same problem - they say "its all microsoft's fault and are awaiting a software fix") .. they refuse to put this in writing !!!!!!!!!
Personally i think its a widespread LG design or manufactiuring/component fault as they have form for telling lies (either that or being systematically incompetant) to customers
I am about to write a formal letter to them asking them to confirm its a software issue and will be retified by a certain point in the future ... as a first step to dealing with the issue
I have had a pretty bad experience before with LG whereby for 6 months LG support were telling me the defective product would be rectified by a software update which never arrived - so we will see -

Hi!
I have the same problem!
me too.. bt not able to detect any device
the other issue i have with the optimus 7 is that the vibrate function doesnt work as well (yep i have switched it on in settings)
But it does work if i go in the the MFG engineers testing app and test the vibrate function there
... so it looks like maybe LG could be guilty here of sloppy firmware/testing .. and i wonder if its the same with the bluetooth like they say (maybe they used batches of different bluetooth chipsets which subsequent updates didnt suport)
LG .. LG .. LG .. ggrrrrrrr
same here
took the device to lg center.
because my device was bought in october it is not eligible for 1for1 exchange.
ppl at lg told me that we have to wait for microsoft update, although i really doubt that a new update will fix the bluetooth issue.
HW fault
I had the same problem right out of the box last November (no bt devices detected, only in very rare lucky cases).
Sent it in for repairs and since it came back some weeks later BT works so it seems like my device had a hw fault (or they updated some software, I dont know... but the case was opened)
had a letter back from LG (uk) stating that there was no defect (bluetooth)with the optimus 7 line ... the letter went on to say that the many reported user problems were due to different bluetooth chipsets used (kind of ridiculous lg opening the letter with the no defects line then ... LOL)
no explanation of why their support team were refusing to repair/replace and stating it was a software issue and to wait for an update and head office (per my letter) stating theres no issue - completely opposite
so now i have to write back asking lg how i get the phone fixed if their support team refuse to accept its a hardware issue
if only we had class actions in the uk ... LG need the mother of class actions right up their rectum !

I'm using Sony Ericsson MW600 for months now and always with me when I'm driving. Love the sound quality of listening to the music using this Hi-Fi Wireless headset.
After using it for a while I found the tricks to get it working properly.
i) whenever I did reset on my LG E900 (now NoDo, previous build also worked for me), I needed to do the pairing again.
ii) make sure you try several times (on and off for both LG E900 and MW600) until MW600 is found and displayed in LG E900. Once MW600 is found it will remain there until next LG E900 reset and you have to repeat all over again.
iii) take note that you can get connected to MW600 without it being displayed as bluetooth device in LG E900. But it will not be stable. The best is to have it displayed in LG E900. If not connected, it will show MW600 is disconnected.
iv) If MW600 is not displayed in LG E900, sometimes you can only listen to the music or only answering phone without the music as it goes to the speaker phone instead. Sometimes also the music quality will be really bad not like normal. Therefore to avoid all this, do the pairing until MW600 is displayed in LG E900. Again you need to do this once after LG E900 reset.
v) Once everything is working well, I can control volume, forward to next music or go back to previous music, off or on the music. Also, not all applications or games can use MW600. I can confirm Angry Bird can use it but SuperTube cannot.
vi) BTW, when playing music using Zune in LG E900, please go to Songs and select "shuffle all" or you can create your own playlist using your PC and transfer the playlist to LG E900.
Hope it will work for someone who wants to invest in MW600 but take note it is a bit pricy ... at least in my country.
BTW, MW 600 can work with iPhone 4, Nokia phone (Symbian), WM6.1 and of course WP7. I can also connect to my Notebook with Windows 7.
hi, as a follow up
its taken me 3 months to finally get LG to accept that this bluetooth issue is a fault and allow it to go in to their repair unit ...
just had it back today with an engineers report stating faulty motherboard replaced !!!!
LG in the UK are just aweful I.R.O. their warranty obligations ...
My advice (if youre UK) and they give you the runaround is to simply tell them you will be taking a small claims court action against them for the costs of the handset (or a replacement handset if you buy one and it costs more) plus your travel costs to/from court plus the court costs .. you can fill in the forms online and its only £20 or so
make sure you get things in writing/email/get names of LG staff and give them a couple of chances to remedy the situation and respond to your threat of court action.
Trading standards have received many complaints from LG customers along these lines so like i did make a formal complaint so its on file and at some point hopefully they will come down hard on LG
anyway I have touch wood a fully working phone now
Hi friends
GooDay to all...
Regarding the Bluetooth issue, I have tried every possible ways, finally when I called the LG, they simply says tht it is a HW fault and u have to replace frm where u have purchased...so I have to trvl all the way frm chennai to spore to settle the issue...
The 2nd worst part is...ZUNE....the marketplace is yet to be avlbl at India...sometime for a surprise the marketplace appears and with the same surprise it disappears... My friends I suggest u all to go for Andriod, Apple or Symbian phones than W7....
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 recently just bought a Sony 601bt touch screen head unit for my vehicle. I am very fond of this piece of technology as It has the capability to push Pandora via bluetooth. It also has MirrorLink, which allows for a smart phone to push the display onto the display, wirelessly. I own a Galaxy Note n7000 as well as a HTC One X. Is there anyway to add this functionality to either of these phones? I have the Note rooted, so I would try for that at first.
Currently limited to only the S3 I'm afraid but there are a number of members here hoping for compatibility and a couple of guys kindly looking into it when they can...

Hi guys,
wanna share some experience with you. I just switched my Nissan Altima from 2011 to 2013 model, equipped with bluetooth.
But I was really surprised when my Lumia 920 was successfully detected by car, and Altima downloaded all contacts and music tracks (now L-920 is fully integrated with car bluetooth system: I can call any contact and manipulate music playback).
So, it looks like WP8 BT stack is fully compatible with the BT specs. I'm curious - what else we can do with BT (for example, from the desktop)? I have zero experience with BT (as a programmer) but may be we can use BT for device hack? (just an assumption).

I'm not sure what is exactly supported but I do know a few
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP 1.2)
Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP 1.4
Hands Free Profile (HFP 1.5)
Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP 1.1)
Object Push Profile (OPP 1.1)
Out of Band (OOB) and Near Field Communications (NFC)
I think there is a couple more, but you won't get the full profile lists that windows mobile once had, but to be perfectly honest you probably won't miss them much anyway
As for hacking. I don't think it will help, but better people on here can answer that for sure than me.
Tho I'm still wondering if installing a SIM app on a Sim card might work, modifying the cards are possible, perhaps it will have OEM level access in doing so...

You would break the signature of the SIM card if you managed to put your own app there, only operators can make SIM apps. They are written in Java (was it Micro Edition?) and I'm not sure but I think they run on the SIM card itself rather than on the phone and they cannot access any resources from the phone itself.

that rings a bell although I thought I read somewhere that it was possible to modify the SIM programs, as for them running off the card or not I don't know, but my thoughts were, if having SIM apps appear in the settings and able to run (on the OS, but I realise it may be running within the confines of the SIM), perhaps there is a hole there waiting to be exploited...
just an idea
Well, attacking the Bluetooth stack on the phone (for example, by fuzzing raw BT data) is certainly one possible avenue. Exploiting the BT service on the phone would be hard, but possibly quite rewarding.
Beyond that, the main handy thing I've found PC-phone BT connectivity useful for is sending files to my phone (as an alternative to emailing them). The phone is happy to open files (of known types; if multiple apps can handle one type it will ask) sent this way. You can also see what's playing on the phone in a little desktop widget, and play or pause the music from there.
On a 2009 Prius connected to Bluetooth, if I get an incoming SMS it activates the BT stack and starts reading the SMS header, and then asks if I want to hear it or ignore it. If I ask to hear it, it reads it out, then asks me if I want to reply. It will actually listen to your voice and translate it to an outbound SMS.
Hell, My SGS IV can't even do that.

I find that a late 2000's automotive Bluetooth stack and Windows Phone 8 behavior on receipt of an SMS message rather impressive.
But the fact that they (MSFT) still can't assign individual SMS alert tones just blows my mind-especially in 2013.

How about calendar reminders/alerts? The fact is - MS & Nokia are simple ignoring customer needs last decade But that strategy require a marketing genius such as Steve Jobs (RIP Steve!). Balmer has all bad character traits as Jobs had: authoritarianism, excessive self-importance, egotism but have a lack of luck, charm and a brilliant foresight... What's why he's fired (of course press called it more politically correct) :laugh:
