[Q] Bluetooth Stack - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm sorry if this has been brought up before. I am new to the forums but have been following the forums for a while.
I have a rooted HTC Incredible (2.2) and I recently ordered a bluetooth keyboard for typing and playing games. I have been reading about how HTC phones do not use an updated bluetooth stack.
After coming across that, I started searching for a solution. I have been searching for weeks and still haven't come across a definite answer. With that being said, does anyone have any information on how I would go about updating the bluetooth stack to a stock Android version so it is usable with the new keyboard?
Thank you in advance!

So, I recieved my keyboard today and of course, it doesn't connect. Now, the weird thing is, is that it claims to be compatible with Android 1.6+. Doesn't HTC use a Bluetooth stack from 1.6?
Any help would be great.

Awesome! Thank you so much.
It works perfectly. This is going to make playing games and typing emails and even doing school work on the go soooo much easier!
I can not thank you enough.

Android with HTC Sense from Bravo

I've just been playing with Android with HTC Sense from the Bravo on my TP2 - how come nobody's trying to get this working fully? It boots and works ok but there's no data conection but HTC Sense is really good!
Anyone working on this HTC Sense build of Android?
are you cdma or gsm? I think the cdma version works but I haven't had any luck with mine, but it does run brilliantly on my tp2!
it does crash on opening a number of programs and isn't able to establish a connection, if the developers could sort this out then it would be amazing!

i don't have access to another camera but maybe if you did a video or some screen shots it might encourage development more (with htc sense anyway).
Im playing with it now and its actually faster that winmo, no wonder they put this on the hero!

There are people working on this, yes. However a data connection is pretty important on a Smartphone, almost useless without it. So we stay with 2.01 for now. LOL

im not developer but it makes sense to me for work to be done on the most up to date version available, otherwise in the future the efforts will just be doubled? but i guess if those developers are happy with an outdated android that's cool for them (i get my desire in a few days so it doesn't bother me!)
Im a sense android by klinux user...
maybe its because Im in USA now and I cant use all the same data connection (cause of cost) but I prefer the sense version without data than the normal one...
anyway...keep up on working on fully data connection and I will be the king of happy mans!!!

Having said that, it's as useful as 2.01 to me - a Smartphone without sound is pointless too, IMHO.

Android guy here. Is there any possibility that the APNs list used in the 2.1 versions you guys are testing aren't the same as those in 2.0.1? Other than that and the ril, there's nothing else in android that changes between versions that would prevent a data connection.

Touche, to each their own. I have to keep my phone on silent at work, so for me thats not as big of an issue. I did just recently get a JVC deck with BT support, and I feel like a traitor switching back to WinMo so I can listen to music.
where can you download this for the tp2? thanks

anybody get wifi working??
Just tried it. Really nice after everything is done loading. The data, wifi, and even the wireless settings don't work. Tried the fm radio with no luck. But overall with just data working would make this far better than 2.1 or 2.0.1, i dunno which one they're on. Also the ram after load was around 36-40 and then after closing everything it was 56. Not horrible, but could be improved. Ummm i don't think power off works either, but i just reset after waiting 2 minutes. This is amazing though, i've been waiting for sense on rhodium ever since i got the phone and finally i get to try it. Sweet stuff guys keep up the great work.

Recommend a build with BT headphone support?

Hi Folks
New here, been trying to find a good build for my new TP.
The last one I tried was the XANDROID 2.1 AOSP build that is popular right now.
I had a couple of 2.1 builds before that. All builds say BT works...but no luck.
I'm trying to find a build that the AD2P BT headphones work ok. I'm running the Plantronics 590a headset. All of the builds I installed so far, the sound playback to BT is super choppy.
I've tried searching the forum for AD2P and BT headphones...but I haven't had any luck on a confirmed build...minus an old sense build by KlinuX that I'm having trouble getting to work...
Anyone know of a build with BT headphone support working ok? Or any fix I can install for the BT stack?
Thanks!

man am so glad to see youall bringing up this topic about bluetooth i recently tried one of the android products i have the motorolla s9 bluetooth headset and when i pair my device to the phone yes it was choppy so i was looking all around to see if there was a fix damn oh well i guess we gotta wait some longer for the other builts to come out but i find there moveing slow on the production of them even they havnt gotten the camera to work yet what is takeing them so longgg
Seriously guys? You're really going to whine and complain about how it's taking them so long?
Jump into the code and help! If you can't, then you are not allowed to complain .
They're working on it, and are well aware of the issue. The devs are doing this in their free time, no body is getting paid to do this work...
With that said for the most part all of the builds have the same functionality. There may be little differences here and there, but it's not like one build camera works or one build BT works perfectly. So please continue to wait patiently, donate to some devs, and learn how to write device driver code
whats up

[App] Pissed that VM didn't include FM radio in stock? Spirit FM Radio

Just a shoutout to those apk makers [Mike Reid] out there. Try Spirit FM Radio, an android market free download ($10 unlocker for best results). Packing it in my new rom. Nice.
Rob
Thanks insink71.
Saw your post long ago and didn't have anything to add at the time.
LOTS has changed and improved the last 4+ months, including support for stock, un-rooted devices.
I have one user now who has a problem with severe system slowdown when running my app in that mode (without SU). It may not happen when the earphone is not plugged in though.
I'd be interested to know if anyone else sees this problem. To get the same experience when rooted, deny SU to Spirit when it starts.
April 13 free version is here: http://www.mediafire.com/?g4d0at7b3nc3p1z
Thanks !
I can test this.

Still perfect sound.
On new phone, HTC unlocked but not rooted; dead stock.
Must be not plugging proper earphones in.. I've heard if the chord is too short it doesn't pich up as the antenna it should be ::shrug::
Ya want me to test free version too? I got unlocked and it picks up more stations than my car radio.. no lie.

No further testing needed, thanks !
Versions prior to the UI update seem fine, and now he's set Theme to Dark and it looks like the problem may be gone. I'm still wondering how that might be a problem though.
I just got a VM WFS primarily because it has FM radio. However, even after downloading the HTC widget I could not get it to work?
Do all VirginMobile WFS have FM radio? I'd purchase the lite version on Google Play but I'm not sure if it would work...
I tried the above link for the free version of this app but the file is no longer there.
Any ideas/thoughts?
Thanks,
Nick

One X and Skype

Hi, I went from Winmo to the iPhone and Skype finally worked . Still it had a lot of bugs. Now I'm on Android for a week and I find Skype completely unusuable.
The video chat shows 2 images on top of each other. Audiolevels are flawed.
And text chat is extremely slow. I get to see a new msg sometimes 2 Minutes! after the notification and also typing is wet laggy.
All in all - useless.
Is it just me?
Same problems here.
Also it only works in landscape. I hope there will be an update soon...
Sent from my HTC One X using XDA
Wasn't there a modified Skype posted somewhere in the forums? With mods to make it more usable on One X?

Just to confirm its been unstable for me too... Not heard about this mod to make it work though. Could be interesting.
Yup.. I tried the modified version but no go... Its waste of time... The audio from the other end during a call, is heard through the earpiece as well as the loudspeaker! The same applies for all Voip clients except VOX Mobile.. Vox mobile works flawlessly!

My skype has worked perfectly always... never heard of any problems with skype with android except for the 'ancient' days maybe...
@hapticc -Thanks mate.. Thats how Ive been using it so far awaiting for an update
@ all -Thats strange.. which version of Skype are you guys using? So far I tested it on 3 different One X handsets and the results are the same (sound output through the earpiece and Loudspeaker on a call)... BTW mine is PJ46100. Made in Taiwan..

I am using the the official Skype that you can find and download on Market or Playstore.
used it twice last week and thought it was excellent. Audio and Video were better than expected.
There was an update in the meanwhile and it´s a lot better for me now. Also texting works.

I'm anxious to upgrade my phone to a later Android device (OneX or SIII) but still hanging back with my Motorola Atrix 2 w/2.3.6 installed, this appears to be the last functional version of Android Gingerbread (Honeycomb 3.2.x it still works fine too) it runs fine on. If Skype were still the same company prior to Microsoft Pw0ning it we would have a fully functional version of Skype for ICS. Also, ICS doesn't work on my Japanese Tablet: Sharp Galapagos 7" so it's a global issue with Skype.

S Voice? Well, it depends

Hey guys...
Just heard about S Voice. It sounds even better than siri. So I gave it a try on our device with CM9 alpha2.
So here it is:
The major function is OK, concerning listening and giving answers. Mount Everest's height can be found, weather OK, and even silly questions.
But the problem is here...
First, it is not quite responsive. Sometimes the button does not respond. However it can be worked around by re-launching it.
Second, the integration with local data does not work. Whenever I tell it to create a new task and/or calendar event, it crashes.
Third, it is not customizable. When you try to change the wake up phrase, it crashes. Worse still, you have to clear the data of the app to revive it.
Na.
Well, just asking if any developer is interested in making it work in our device?
