[Q] Is there a way to activate Bluetooth on the Kindle Fire? - Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In the iFixit teardown it says that there is actually a Bluetooth chip inside the Kindle Fire, though Amazon offers no support for it. Is there a way to activate it like with the Nook Color?
Here is the article (could not post the full link because I am new):
theverge.com/2011/11/16/2565949/kindle-fire-root-teardown-source-code
Thanks

The module on the KF has the required antenna switch front end to use the one antenna for both BT and WiFi. The only requirement left is that the high speed serial channel and the enable signal are wired up. Unfortunately the source doesn't give us any indication like on the Nook Color.
Maybe we need a half-dead Kindle for reverse engineering...

I'm a noob at this but if they took it apart couldn't they see if the high speed serial channel and the enable signal are wired up? And if they are, how would you activate the bluetooth?

That is exactly why I think getting a damaged Kindle for dissection would be beneficial. If the enable signal is wired up to a GPIO, then it's easy to add that to the kernel.

I don't think it would be easy to patch into stock, but with a build closer to AOSP it would be controlled through wireless settings like on any other platform.

So it would have to be through the Kindle Firmware or could we develop an app for the Kindle Fire that could enable the Bluetooth?

So would this app have to be specifically made for the KFire? Or can I just get a Bluetooth On/Off Widget from the Market?

No that won't work, because the kernel doesn't support bluetooth. Basically those sorts of apps will tell the kernel "turn on bluetooth" or "turn off bluetooth" and the kernel will do it (that's my understanding at least). So support would have to be added to the kernel (i.e. needs to be a custom kernel)

Can be compiled.as a module, can't it? I doubt though that the fire has all the other bluetooth stuff built in (I haven't looked, but they would be in /system/etc/bluetooth if it did.)
Of course it's all moot if the hardeware isn't wired for it... if it is, great... if it's not, somebody has to figure that out first.

Cost is the about the biggest reason I can think of. They spent a lot of dev time doing what they did, so enabling it software-wise probably would have been easy enough for them to do.
Doing the extra.bits in the hardware.side might have been easy, and.might.not have increased.the cost.dramatically, but aren't they losing money on the hardware.already?
And wow, I really need to change out this keyboard, heh.

No he wasn't angry at you - it was me! No worries mate. I think he thought I was attacking his intelligence
Anyway - this is a really cool app. I'll try running some diagnostics and see why us G2 users are running into this 12007 error. I more than likely won't be able to do anything about it, but maybe having that info will make it easier for someone with greater programming intelligence than myself to remedy the issue.

it's not going to work still... I knew there had been issues with DRM (you can almost assuredly thank the MPAA for that one), but I thought maybe someone found a work-around. just keep crossing your fingers, and if you're a paying Netflix customer, SEND ANGRY COMPLAINTS! certainly looks pretty, though!

I don't get the 12007 error. I get 1005. Unable to locate server or something. I am a subscriber and was able to log in and see all my stuff but not watch. It is working fine for setting up my queue and what not. I will continue to use it in that capacity. Will look forward to this getting cracked.
Manage DVD queue?
Just like everyone else, I can't stream instant movies. But I already knew that before loading this apk.
What I really want is to manage my DVD queue and Instant queue. The problem is it looks like this apk can only manage my Instant queue. I don't see my DVD queue. Is it just me?

nice interface, requires adobe air to be installed but it's the best free netflix instant/disc queue manager I have found.
I'm fairly certain the reason it doesn't work is because of a hardware lock. Netflix has come to an agreement, that because android is so open, there'd be no way to stop piracy, without a hardware prevention method. It will be usable starting with the "next-gen" qualcomm and others processors.
Not saying it can't be bypassed, but I'd bet its the hardware issue.

[Q] HDMI Help

Hey guys. I need some help with my phone. I'm running CM7 on my Evo and I'm trying to watch TV shows from my app "TV Shows" on my TV. It's a pretty cool app if you miss a lot of your favorite shows and have some catching up to do.
Well, I plug in the HDMI cable to my phone and my TV and my phone goes in a reboot loop. I downloaded an HDMI mirroring app but it hasn't done anything.
When I run the app, it tells me "no cable detected" so I plug in the cable and my phone freezes and goes into the reboot loop until I unplug the cable.
When I DO NOT use the app, it does the same thing, so I can't even go into my phone's gallery to look at pics on my TV.
Anyone know what I should do? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
dont know if this will help you to much, but what i know is that
1. you need a kernel that works well with the hdmi app you want to run, and
2. not all tv's accept cellphones hdmi, this happens to me on my living room tv, but not on my room tv, i've heard alot about this issue happening with certain tvs

The app says I don't need a new kernel so I'm guessing my TV won't accept it. Although I still can't use it, I appreciate you helping me. I got an answer, not the answer I wanted, but I got an answer, hahaha! Thank you.
Which app are you using? I used HDMwIn when I ran CM7, albeit with a custom kernel. It worked really well. All I can suggest is double checking the resolutions in your app settings. I know in HDMwIn the resolutions go to some monitor resolutions (640x480, 800x600 etc) and a lot of TVs will only do HD resolutions (1280x720, 1366x768 etc). The "bootloop" you're seeing might just be the HDMI handshake process.

Yeah it says "no custom kernel" but you probably still do. Try using the tiamat dude. I would delete the hdmi app and reinstall it do when it starts up it will say "new v6 daemon ready to be downloaded". Download it then the app should work properly.
Here's the link to the 3.38 tiamat no sbc. Follow my instructions and hdmi should work. Delete the hdmi app, take this zip and flash in recovery as you would a rom, after you flash the kernel wipe dalvik-cache then reboot. Once the phone boots up you can adjust your performance settings in the cyanogen mod settings. Last thing to do is redownload the hdmi app and follow instructions. Good luck

No, it's definitely not that. The cable works. I thought that at first too, but a friend of mine tested it.
He also has an Evo with CM7. I don't know why it worked for him and not me, but I'm gonna flash the kernel and hopefully I'll be okay.

Doubt its a "ROM" issue. Judging by those apps, its not passing some sort of authentication check within those apps.
*Notification* led works fine. The Samsung implementation as it is on stock doesn't work, which makes sense.
Plex works, you just have to set it up right.

Call Echo and Netflix
The only real issue I'm having now is the echo that the person you call hears that started when the fix was added for being unable to hear phone calls on answer (until you toggled speaker). I see there is a merge regarding audio in the latest nightly (0823), but it specifically references d2usc not d2att, so I'm not sure it even applies, even if it is related to this issue. Does anyone know if the echo on the other end is still present after 0823?
Other issues I still have even after a full wipe, but that aren't as important (and are otherwise well-known), are the inconsistent wake behaviour of the home button (just use power button instead), and occasional screen flicker when you don't disable hardware overlays. There's also the >160 character SMS thing, but mine seems to split the messages in half OK (instead of sending it as one message, which would be preferable).
As for Netflix I do not use it, but when browsing the changes at r.cyanogenmod.com a few days ago I came across one that stated in the comment that it was to fix the Netflix issue for our phones. It wasn't merged at the time, though, and I can't seem to locate it now. I'll post it if I do so you can watch if/when it gets merged. Either way, they are aware and working on the issue, and it seems to be fixable with ROM changes.

What worked for me was Advanced Settings, use Plex OpenGL Player, Transcode Off, Direct Play Enabled, and Device Supports HLS OFF(unchecked).
Ok so my thoughts so far after using the latest build (08/23) is that its good and I will use it as my daily driver, a few things here and there that I miss from touchwiz, but overall its an awesome rom hiccups here and there, but stable enough as a daily driver.

I gave up on the preview build a few weeks ago, but it's much better now. I won't consider going back to stock until JB is officially released.
...unless I change my mind before then.
That setting will basically stream the movie without any type of transcoding or compression which defeat the purpose of using Plex. Also you will not get audio on any video unless is only stereo. The purpose of Plex is to be able to stream your movie collection without having to worry about compatibility with your device.

Mirror link is a new tech that is yet to be fully supported for TV's as of yet according to Sony rep today (origin was Car Connectivity), only the very latest TV's most of which are not available enable this functionality, apparently it works with NFC and the Remote control.
In addition it is not until Jelly Bean 4.2 that miracast is natively supported.
Even though Sony say they support the function, as of 8th Jan, I am not 100% sure of these claims because most other WIFI parts they have implemented like throw just don't work completely
It seems even though the phone wasnt on 4.2.2 it still had miracast support as I have got a PTV3000 which worked perfectly fine with the Sony Z using the display mirroring. But I dont have the device anymore hence why I needed the apk for this function for another device.

I will have a look for you. Although it doesn't look good, because the application requires other protocols to function, so no support on your new device, I don't believe it is not going to work. But good luck.
From looking around there look like 4 apks minimum that would be required, even then I am sure it will rely on Sony OS framework somewhere else.
Anyway please find attached files contained within the zip

Actually MirrorLink has nothing to do with TVs nor will it ever. It is a technology that is going to be used in cars only.

Was anyone successful in getting the Sony MirrorLink to work on a non-Sony phone?
I have a Galaxy S3 with MirrorLink but its very limited with no full mirror mode and restricting what apps you can run. Wondering if this would work.

Could you send me mirror link app for Htc one
Why are all of you wasting time with this when you have awesome apps by Zappo which cover all that you need ?
Just search Zappo in Google Play Store.
I installed a few Zappo's apps which was able to send output to my LG TV, WD TV device and an AppleTV.
Just try it and let me know
cheers.

I wanna reopen this thread 'cause I have some questions for those that are more experienced than me.
I have an Xperia ZL, and I use MirrorLink with my Sony XAV-712HD Double-DIN head unit. When I connect my phone to the head unit via usb (not MHL), Google Maps starts. This is the default behavior for the combination of my Xperia phone and this head unit, as depicted on this support page:
https://esupport.sony.com/US/p/support-info.pl?info_id=1145&mdl=XAV712HD
The footnote for my phone, and other Xperia Z product line phones, reads:
The Navi application will start when the MirrorLink connection begins. To use another applications, press the Home button. Application selection may not be available while driving.
My question is that I wonder if the default behavior (to start a Navigation app upon MirrorLink connection) resides in a file, either within the phone or within the head unit. If this behavior is in a file within the phone, I would love to be able to pull the file, edit it to point to another app, and then push the file back into my phone via ADB.
Does anyone know about MirrorLink, and what it requires to behave the way it does?

Remote feature

I see the m8 has a smart remote feature but its confusing me. Does it actually have the IR sensor to use it like a regular remote? That's the selling point to me if it does.
Yes.

Yeah, it works really well too; the stock app has a fantastic selection of tv manufacturers and set-top boxes. I didn't have a single issue setting it up.
IR blaster located in power button
HTC UltimEight ?

It should be included with stock; I have Verizon. It may be in the play store too - try HTC TV.

Not only that, but it can copy IR codes from a remote, which means it even works on my super off brand tv. No remote has a code for it besides the remote that came with the tv.
