Guys, i happened to accidentally snap my internal GPS antenna on my i9k. So i plan to get myself the external Bluetooth GPS receiver from best buy (keyring type). I was wondering if anyone has any inputs on how it functions on our phone preferably on cyanogen mod rom's?

Hi,
past week, I bought myselfs a Polar WearLink®+ transmitter with Bluetooth® .
I can succesfully pare it with my phone, but when I start running with Runkeeper I get a flat line at 110BPM for the entire workout.
Already googled a bit, and found out that I wasn't the onley one with this problem:
http://support.runkeeper.com/discussions/runkeeper-mobile-apps/21-heart-rate-problem
but haven't found a solution, so I was woundering if somebody here was able to succesfully use this Polar transmitter, ...
With a quick test, I think the app "Sports Tracker" will work, but if there are people here using this transmitter, with what app do you use it and what android version ( I'm currently at ICS Aurora 2.0 )
Thanks for your help!
Edit: tested with Sports Tracker instead of Runkeeper and seems to be working on ICS Aurora 2.04
Hi guys,
I have a very strange problem with my beloved note. After I get in the car and drive off I remember that I have to turn bluetooth on so it can connect to the hands free system. The thing is that it doesn't connect automatically, I have to go into the settings and tap the BT name in order to connect it. If on the other hand if I have BT already enabled on the phone before starting the car, it conmects automatically. With the first version of GB the Note had in November I didn't have this issue, but after the first update it started not to work. Now I am on official unrooted ICS 4.0.3. Never had this problem with any other phone.... Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.

You can try Automatic Bluetooth Toggle PRO (I think there is trial version on Google Play). I don't know if it will help you. If not then I'm sorry you will probably have to go back to GB. I'm still on GB as I was also having issues with bluetooth on stock ICS (CM9-based ROMs worked well though).
Thanks a lot. GB had the same annoying problem though :-(... so it's not that....

Hi,
Did you allow the pairing automatically between the devices?
When you pair at installation, it isn't permanently (= automatic) yet. When you get in your car and pair for a second time, normally your phone asks you if you allow your hands free system to access your phone; at that moment you have to tick "don't ask me again" and "yes" for automatic paring.
You might want to disassociate the two and try a new setup (pairing).
To disassociate, stop the system in your car (that cuts the BT connection between the two), disassociate on the phone (push and hold your hands free system in the BT section of the phone and chose disassociate), reboot your phone (so it forgets your cars BT system) and start pairing all over again.
I would provoke the second connection so you get the "automatic" question to make it work.
Good luck :good:
I have the same problem with the original ICS rom.
Flashing a custom ICS rom fixes this problem.
I tried kingdroid (worked ok)
I tried Cyanogen (phone ok, no media audio over BT but connection OK).
I had a similar problem after upgrade with stock ICS through software update. I couldn't pair Note with Mercedes bluetooth. Galaxy Note recognized Mercedes BT & vice versa, but connection was impossible. I read every forum on internet but no help. Everybody was blaming Samsung and ICS. Some suggested resseting Note to factory default, others downloading bluetooth app etc.
Until...I finally figured out that something was confusing my car's BT, so I resseted car system, and the problem was solved.

These is a twist with "old" BT systems and ICS: Old BT systems want you to insert a pin code, ICS wants you to to confirm a code that the BT system sends and that ICS shows on the screen.
It's obvious that that ICS on an old system can be a hassle.
A work around is to put the car in discover mode (so it shows the pin code) and then send a contact (or a picture) from the phone to the car system. As the car replies, your phone will show the possibility to insert the PIN Code.
After that your system should work.
At second connection make the pairing automatic (as I described above) and you're happy.
(This is not my discovery, I found this solution on the SE XPeria Ray forum as I had problems with my wifes phone )
Thaks a lot. I will try as soon as I get the chance and will let you guys know.

So with the workaround mentioned above - it doesn't work. When turning on bt on the phone it won't automatically connect to the car.

Try A2DP Volume on the market.
I have the same problem as you. I used a leaked ics rom on my galaxy s2 and also had the same problem we now have on our ics galaxy notes. My car's head unit is a 3 year old eclipse cd5030. For the last month ive just been manually pairing it every time. PITA. Ill try the workaround suggested earlier in this thread and let you know. Otherwise i think cyanogen mod rom may work.

I had similar issues with Parrot 9200 kit in my car. Paired automatically under GB but on stock ICS wouldn't pair unprompted. Sometimes it would but only after minutes.
I'm on Paranoid Android 0.4 now which is CM9 based. It's better but often still slow to pair unprompted. Main improvement for me is that the phone doesn't carry on playing music through its own speaker, like it did on stock ICS, when I turn off the engine.
There is an app on the market called "Auto Connect 2.0", but it is only available for ICS and above Android versions

i have same problem with my note, but with my Galaxy S1 works fine, when i upgrade the android to 4.0.4 solves the problem.
Hello ,
i remember an update, not realy, but i think it was from Eclaire to Froyo,
when my loved NMEA App on my Defy lost here logger function for ever ...
weeks later i realysed that NMEA was gone. the BCM 4750 GPS Chip was not giving it out enymore.
There was a first part of this update, separated from the normal android update, for shure it was to reprograme the GPS Chipset.
I am looking for someone, who can reprogram this and bring back NMEA to Defy
and maybe by an APP to many other units too, using BCM 4750 too ...
It must be able to find, inside of the Froyo update, there must be some code, more then in the others, in the beginning of the udate ...
Thanks for just thinking about it ...

Hi all decided to use my old nexus 7 as a sat nav, but the gps will not lock on. I searched but looks like common problem. As anybody sorted there gps out? or used a custom ROM to get it working.
