Jawbone Up - Droid Ultra Accessories

Refuses to work with my Maxx. It works perfectly fine with my iPad so its got to be the phone...kinda pissing me off.
Anyone else?

Found this on Moto's support site...
Note: At this time, devices that have a microphone input but no microphone output (Square Card Reader, Jawbone UP) are not currently supported.

Apparently the UP isn't working on any of the new Motorola phones - the Maxx, Ultra, Mini, or the Moto X. My wife has a Moto X that won't sync. I'm not sure who to be more mad at - Jawbone or Motorola.

I'd say Moto considering it works just fine on my Razr Maxx HD that I have for work.

this sux. I hope for a fix soon. this is unacceptable on a new device in 2013.

according to my post and subsequent email from Motorola, this is a software issue that is affecting devices that have a microphone output, but no microphone input. Jawbone, Square, PayPal (black stripe reader) all currently do not work.
I'm hoping with root and custom roms, we can fix this before Motorola.
They say a fix is on the way.

Microphone output? What is that?

Usually, devices that plug into the 3.5 mm jack are headphones only, or headphones with a built in mic...
Jawbone UP has an output device but no 'input' device

I'm actually on my 4th up[ replacement. It comes tomorrow and i got my maxx yesterday. This just annoys me further. I know it is not Jawbone's fault, but i might just try and complain and go get a fibit flex or nike fuelband. The jawbone is so flawed as much as i do like it

I guess I am a lucky one, I have had my UP for a while and haven't had an issue.
The Maxx issue is beyond frustrating for me. Hoping they fix it sooner than later!

JAWBONE UP now works with latest OTA
Hey guys on top of all the goodies we get with the Camera update 12.15.15 OTA, the 3.5mm jack is now also active for accepting input via JAWBONE UP. So game on again.

Good news! I'm still waiting on this update.

Finally got around to trying this, and it took FOREVER to transfer the data.
But its better than waiting to get home to my iPad to update it.

woots semi-hidden site is offering a bluetooth audio bridge for $14 + $5 shipping. I was pretty excited because I want a way to stream bluetooth audio from my phone to my car and home stereo aux input jacks.
http://moofi.woot.com/moofi/afterall
That's a pretty nice deal. No if only I can find a good Bluetooth/FM transmitter thaw better than the Motorola t505.

I finally got to use my $5 off coupon. Thanks for this.
Shouldn't have, but I got one
So could I plug in a pair of speakers to this instead of the headphones, and play music through them over bluetooth?
Just ordered one today so offer is still good. Used m $5 off coupon so it came out to $12.99 total.

you made sure you held the button for at least 5 seconds? turn bluetooth on your device first and search. then turn on pairing mode on the bridge. i think that should work.

im sorry, as for pairing it went without a hitch with cm6 of coarse. Did not try pc and phone at the same time due to that I already zip- tied and tucked my wiring into my car. Audio came through nice and loud did not seem cut-off.
All and all nice little bridge so far.
Gonna try with sense rom ( for some reason I have been in 1x mode all day)

you don't hear any noise in the background of the music at all? kinda like light static. i hear it on mine. that's why i wanna know other people's impressions on them. maybe mine is a defect? gonna try it more and see.
EDIT: on further listening, the sound is better as you raise the volume on the bridge. so all in all, it is a good device and serves its purposes.
I only heard a some interference when nothing was playing. It could be your car

I just picked up a motorolla roadster. For anyone who doesnt know what it is. Its a bluetooth device that will do anything Sync will do. It will play music, text, phone calls, all wireless and all through your cars speakers. And it works amazing. Anyone else have it? I liked it so much i got one for my girlfriend and my father. Its simple and works amazing. No need for cd or mp3 players anymore. Spotify and google music work flawless through my speakers! Loving it!

That's what I want to know. The only way it could is either it plugs into the AUX jack of your car or uses the stereos radio frequency.

Been using the Motorola Rockr for a year now, love it
The Roadster look nice. Even though my 2011 VW GTI has built in bluetooth, I hate the lack of dedicated buttons for its function to make it work. I have to fumble thru the in dash menu, which though not much of a hassle makes its use somewhat inconvenient (damn am I lazy or what? lol)
I have the rokr head phones also and love them but roadster is way better. And lol i dont think your lazy i use my fathers and honestly my roadster is more user friendly and easier to use. I am an indirect dealer. I sell verizon and sprint and since we got these in ive been selling the heck out of them. And havnt had a complaint everyone is loving it!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Quick question: Can you still listen to cd's or in my case, a usb connected device (flash drive, mp3 player etc) without disconnecting from the FM frequency? As it is once I pop in a cd my head unit displays the cd GUI functions & not the radio.
You can still use them ofcourse but i dont need to i have all my cds on my phone. But yes you can still use them it will just reuire u to switch to fm when a call comes in. So basically u would have to push the fm button on your car. The roadster will stay in fm mode. Another great thing about it is it shuts off when you arnt using it to save battery but as soon as u get in the car again it can sense it and auto turns on. Its very cool

Compatibility beats by dre executive and GS3

Are the Beats by dre executives compatible with the GS3? Meaning if the incline mic works with the phone to answer calls control volume and play music?
you should at least do a little search.
it is on the first or second page, a list of compatible headsets.
good luck on finding it. it won't be hard.

I looked at all of them but there is nothing on beats by dre. I read that the powerbeats and Studios don't work. But I was thinking since the executives are fairly new that they might work. I just want conformation on that.

Actually I believe the issue lies in the control talk cable itself. I bought a pair of mixr and had the same issues as everyone else with an Android phone. Apple devices the wiring is done backwards inside the cable. So I got to thinking about reversing but my soldering skills aren't the same. So I thought maybe a new cable, so I found one on ebay, obviously a 3rd party beats knockoff, where it has 2 black rings on the plug and 3 rings where it gets plugged into the phone. And viola they work perfect all features Inc volume.. See the picture I uploaded and u see what I mean

I personally wouldn't buy any beats by dres unless u get a large discount. Like almost half. Otherwise you're being ripped off. But I don't believe any control talk headphones work fully

H815 and Bluetooth Audio (AVRCP)

Hey, my test unit doesn't seem to work with AVRCP, and the BT sound quality is pretty compressed, especially compared to my Nexus 6.
Several people have said to go into the hidden settings menu when they had problems with their G3, but I don't know the code. Any thoughts?
Stock build on 5.1, build number LMY47D.

well after search about what hidden menu is i have no idea but i know how to enter it
AT&T: 3845#*modelnumber#
Sprint: 5689#*modelnumber#
T-Mobile: 3845#*modelnumber#
International Models: 3845#*modelnumber#
so instead of model number you should enter 815 i guess..
dont know if it helped you in anyway but...
Sadly nope, those didn't work. Thanks tho!
Any other suggestions, y'all?

Bump! Anyone?
Hey All,
I've been working with Xyro TR1 on the issue and it has me stumped. We've gotten into the hidden menu, but there is no BT Settings or a BT UI to get into and make changes to.
We've gotten into the /etc/bluetooth directory and noticed a few extra files that are a bit wacky such as AVRCP_Whitelist_toggle and AVRCP_blocklist_toggle. We confirmed that the listings of the MACs are not one to the car he is using.
My BT audio on my H815 is trash. I've tried it on 2 different bluetooth earbuds (Jaybirds & Plantronics Backbeat) and my car bluetooth (Dodge Dart) and all three sound terrible. I just plugged in my Sony Gold Wireless headset via AUX and it sounds beautiful. I really hope my unit isn't bad as I got it shipped to me(not available in Canada yet). I'll be following this thread closely.
Is your issue similar to mine?
Thank god its not just me and my ears. After M8 it sounds horrible and I have been trying out everything today. Especially treble heavy and rock/metal music sounds really bad and have distortion a lot. Hopefully we are able to find a solution for this problem. My car stereo is ok and old M8 sounded good (not great but good) but this just trashes my ears so badly.
The weird thing is, I was posting in the Android Central forum as well and the guy there has the same earbuds as me (Jaybirds) and says his audio is fine. Though everyones ears are different, coming from the Z3 which had lovely BT audio, this is really hurting my ears, especially with in-ear headphones. I wish I could contribute more than just "I'm having an issue", though.
Well it depends on the volume. Lower volumes you can't hear it that well. Especially if you don't know what to listen but once you hear it you can't unhear it . And sadly Im accustomed to good quality sound so I hear it all the time

My old M8 sends song info for sure and Im quite surtain that my old Galaxy S4 did as well as my old Note 2 etc. Its not only about the phone itself but the software that you use. Spotify didnt send the info for a long time but it has been fixed. And dont know about Dodges own systems as the only Darts that I know are from 60´s and I drive a little european hot hatch .
I received the Sprint G4 and have the same problem of not sending track information. While this isn't a deal breaker it's most definitely a huge con for me. So far my experience with LG's BT implementation has not shone a good light on LG for me. First it was the 5-6 times I had to factory reset my G Watch R to get it to work properly, which ironically worked flawlessly with my S4, then the 30 minutes it took to get it to pair with my Honda. Now it won't stream track info. Grrr. With no experience with LG do you guys think it will be fixed in a future update? I'm not too hopeful cause it looks like it was an issue with the G3.
I did try AutoAudio per these directions but it does not work for me. Maybe someone else could try to see if it works for them:

It sounds like your car doesn't support it, my Nexus 5 & 6, G3 & G4 , Galaxy S5 & S6 Edge all send track info to all of our car's stereos (Ford, Maserati and Range Rover).
What app are you using to stream the music to your car? We use Google Music, maybe try that and see if that works if it's not what you're already using to confirm it doesn't work from any music app.

I thought it was just me with the bluetooth issue. Just upgraded from the Note 4 for the G4 on Wednesday and noticed the crackling audio issue with my Plantronics Voyager Legend headset. I wasn't having this issue with my Note 4. I guess we have to wait on a update from LG for this fix. Could be a Lollipop issue with 5.1, maybe 5.1.1 will address bluetooth and phone running hot issues.

Eonon GA2178 - 10" Android 9 Head Unit

Dears,
anybody tried Eonon GA2178 - 10" Android 9 Head Unit?
I'm actually on Eonon GA2168K - 10" Android 8 Head Unit, it's a good device with minor problems.
Anytime developers fix a problem they introduce an other problem and there's no community support for MTK chipsets.
Because of this I'm evaluating the new Eonon GA2178, that is quite similar but based on Rockchip chipset.
Tks!
Any update on that GA2178 new device? I bought this one as well but have not installed it yet.

I installed this unit (Eonon GA2178) on my Mitsubishi Montero Sport 2019 on last weekend. It's working great, Loudness setting makes the sound awesome.
Cons:
- I don't like the launcher, probably will use FCC Launcher
- I have not figured out how to connect the steering wheel to SWC1 and SWC2. I think I'm missing the decoder box (Axxess or Metra). I'll buy it on amazon and report back if it works.
Feel free to ask any questions on the install.
I used the Metra. Works good. Sometimes it gets confused and doesn't work but 95% of the time it works.

I've got a GA2176 and just purchased a GA2178.
I probably should have asked these questions before I bought the new unit but.
Does this come with google play store installed?
Have they fixed the overheating issues? I saw a review where the screen would flicker in heat over 85 degrees.
Has anyone tried the addon dongle that supports android auto and apple carplay?
Google Play Store was installed from the factory. I had to install multiple other Google Apps (I have a Pixel 3 and use them all).

Well, when I talk to customer support I was told it will work with the GA2178 so I ordered it with the head unit. Hopefully I'll have it before the week is out and offer some feedback.
I have not seen a way to root yet. I'm sure it's just a matter of time.
I am running FCC launcher and am getting along fine with it. I hated the stock UI.. it's pretty horrible.
I am very interested in hearing your experience with the adapter. Why we'd have to spend another $60 for it to work like it should is beyond me. However, I really would like to have that feature. Let us know what you find out.

I have a 2010 Dodge Ram and used the PAC RP4-CH11 decoder and the SW switches work very well. You can even program them for short and long pushes. This gives you the ability to control more functions with them.

I received the head unit and carplay/android auto dongle yesterday. I tried the dongle with the old head unit, Eonon 2176 installed and it seems to function just like any other iOS carplay stereo. Once I get the 2178 installed I'll do some more testing and let you know what I find and think.
Sounds great man. Thank you.

I installed my Ga2168 in my Nissan Sentra and I have the dongle as well as usb stick, sd card and front and rear cameras as well as GPS and wifi installed. When I originally got this it ran incredible but the 2x I tried to turn it on it would not. I used the reset whole and it finally turned back on. It ran fine after but then a few days later the same thing it would not turn on. The reset button worked again but I contacted support and they sent me two files to do a complete system reinstall. The problem is not that I reinstalled the os it is so slow everything runs slow to the point I don't want to even use this radio. I will say when I first got the machine it worked fine other than not turning on sometimes. The dongle works perfect with IOS and Android I tested both. I will say I prefer to use my phone as a hotspot and just use the tablet as a giant phone.

One thing I noticed is how these stereos don't like to run well if they are not getting a full 12.8 volts. I left a dash camera on in the parking mode and it ran the battery down to 12.2 volts before shutting off. After that the stereo seem to run slow and was slow to boot. It even had issues with turning on a few times. This was with my old GA 2176 model. I put the battery on a charger and fully charged it and the stereo went back to normal.
edit - of course I go out to my truck this morning and the stereo wont turn on!!! lol the battery is 12.2 volts. I had to use the reset button to get the stereo to start again.
So if you have a weak battery it can cause issues with the stereo.

Sounds great man. Thank you.
You don't by chance have an Android Phone to test it with too do you?

I don't have an android phone, just a MiPad 4 that I can test with.
I do have an issue with the screen being kind of floppy from side to side. Where it connects to the mount on the main head unit isn't that tight of a fit. I sent an email to Eonon and they want me to make a video of it. I'm going to assume there is nothing they can do about it. I'll probably have to make some sort of a wedge to go between the screen and the head unit.
Mine has a little movement.. not horrible but it would be nice if it was tighter.
Screen isn't very sensitive but I'm used to using my Google Pixel 3 XL.
Seems much more like an old tablet where you had to press hard on the keys to get it to respond.
I am driving an F350 Powerstroke Diesel. It has two 12v batteries so voltage isn't a problem for me.

Here's the video of the loose screen rattle.

I sent it to Eonon CS, NIcky, to see what they say but I'm sure it's going to be sorry, that's just how the mount is.
That's how mine is. Let me know what you find out.

I got a response from eonon, they told me to tighten the screws. As you can see in the video, all of the mounting screws are tight. I told them as much in the first email.
I then got a second email asking me to please make the video private. I can only assume it's to avoid bad press. Well, that isn't going to happen.
Anybody know if this ROM will work on the GA2178? It's for a px30 and from malaysk. Do I have to root first?

From what I can see it doesn't support the 2178 or 2176 atm. These two HU are rk3326 with 2 mg of memory and the ROMs you link to only support 3368 and 3399 HU with 4 mg of memory.
I just got the GA2178. Has anyone figured out how to unlock developers settings or USB debugging?
