I've searched and searched and come up with next to nothing addressing the lack of the Bluetooth PAN option when using ICS on a Verizon TP2. I've read this and that about the Bluetooth stack being different, but that's about it.
USB and HTC Wifi work great, but the option for Bluetooth PAN is simply not there. Why is this?
Anyone know the answer to this? I'd like to know too. TIA.
"The complete ICS is installed. What is missing is the PAN profile from the Bluetooth Stack. Verizon simply chose not to include it. I've been trying to find out it Sprint or Telus have it and if so, we should be able to grab the files."
That was the answer I was given a couple months back.

I've searched around for this and can't find anything, so maybe someone can help to point me in the right direction or let me know that at least the problem is known but not fixed yet.
I can't get Wifi and Bluetooth to work on my 8525 with WM6, currently using Schap's 3.54c rom and radio version 1.48.
I have motorola s805 stereo bluetooth headphones and would like to stream radio over my work's wifi and hear it on my headphones.
The problem is Neither wifi or bluetooth work reliably when used at the same time, (no problems individually). I have even tried reducing the bit pool, but can't take it below 24 because it sounds to bad then, but it still doesn't work.
Anyone have any ideas or can at least verify you have the same problem?
I have the same issue when trying to play internet radio over wifi with my ht820 a2dp linked to the jasjam (Sleuths v2 rom). The only time i ever got a2dp and wifi streaming to work was with the widcomm bt driver that is now extinct.
Thus i have come to the conclusion that the problem is not with the hw but has more to do with the standard ms bt stack.
If anyone has found a workaround please do share
Thats a start
Thanks, that is helpful.
I remember seeing a widcomm stack thread....
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Widcomm_stack
I'm going to check that out, also if there is a specific rom that comes with the widcomm stack I'd be interested to know.
I find that with bluetooth turned on I can associate to my Cisco AP at all. As soon as I turn Bluetooth off it works fine.
I had hoped my issue was due to the way the particular WM6 was put together but now Im using offical Dopod and it is the same.
Widcomm stack
Well I found this
http://www.htc-devs.com/uploads/Univ...m_bt_stack.CAB
at the end of the Widcomm stack for Hermes development thread.
I'm not sure where it came from, but I installed it and so far I can use IE while connected to my home wireless network, and listen to music on my headphones.
The com manager will not show bluetooth as being on, but go to settings-bluetooth and you can re-pair.
Currently I'm getting some hiccups, but its working at least. I'll keep you updated and I would still like to see a rom that incorporates this stack so that the com manager works right.
It also changes the headset icon on the top bar.
Streaming!
I'm streaming SomaFM with no problems!
AVRCP problems
I didn't notice this at first, but after the widcomm stack has been installed the AVRCP functions don't work... so Im going back.
AVRCP
It works in WMP, just not audiomanager anymore.

Pretty much what this thread has turned into.
If you install that cab above, don't uninstall it, you'll get bricked.

Ok so it seems to be a pretty universal feeling that the bt does not work well on the Hermes. I personally am having trouble with filesharing.
So i searched (forum and google) and found different threads for different bt stacks, but I want to know what is a solid, stable, well-working one I can put on my phone?
I was under the impression that the BT stacks were pretty well intertwined with the ROM making them all but impossible to mix and match. But then I haven't really tried myself, so don't let me rain on your parade.
If anyone would know the answer to this question, it would be Sleuth. He is best man for tweaking BT that I know of. BTW, I haven't had any trouble BT filesharing (assuming you mean objectpush?) with SuperD-Lite. What are you trying to share with?

Oh i see. Im not very knowledgeable about how bt is incorporated and all.
Well I've had trouble finding, linking to, and sending files to my bro's phone (it sometimes works, sometimes doesnt). First he had an LG CU500, now its a Blackberry 7130c. Same with each. I've tried the "file explorer to find file and select 'beam file'" method and Dr. Yar's bluetooth app. Working bt isnt life or death for me, but it was always handy to share a ringtone, etc.
I just tried again with the blackberry. I went in with file explorer, chose a small mp3 on my storage card to send, chose "beam file", waited till his device showed up, clicked on it, and then it said "failed". Is anyone else having similar issues?
EDIT: Ok so now i go and find my old Razr cuz i know bt works on there, and lo and behold it sent! I guess its sometin about the blackberry. Although im still interested in if htere are any ways to improve/upgrade bt.
There was development underway on the Widcomm Stack nearly a year ago... check out this from the wiki Hermes Widcomm Stack I think you will find your answer there.
...and yet I find this stack 10000% better than what was on my 6700.
Especailly with my Audi, the BT never turns off when the phone goes to sleep and all my contacts show up in the HID.
It has been perfect so far!
I had issues with Bluetooth when I was using the latest official WM5 release for my Cingular 8525. None of my Bluetooth headsets would stay connected or even paired. But since upgrading to the "official" AT&T WM6 ROM, Bluetooth works just fine!
I have had very little if any BT issues using vp3G's 3.0 ROM. Very happy but waiting for 4.0!
I'm on Schaps 3.54c and my 8525 has been perfect with my Parrot3300GPS in my car. The parrot picks up battery, signal, contacts, etc. No problems. I wish my Wizard behaved that well.
Hi All, I just had a question about bluetooth gps receivers.
I read awhile back that the Android OS's bluetooth stack was not equipped to handle serial port protocol connections over bluetooth which is what you need for a external bluetooth gps receiver. Just wondering if any of the new ROMs (2.1 or 2.2) have looked into implementing this? or if there's already an app out there.
i've looked and seems all the apps i found on market seem to be just data logging and doesn't allow you to replace the internal gps functionality.
this is a pretty good question. I have not seen anything about this mentioned on any rom. I would lean towards no but since i dont know for sure i figured i would help bump the thread hoping someone who knows for sure can shed some light
Seems to be working now -- my Samsung Galaxy S (running 2.1) can use my external Bluetooth GPS receiver now (not natively, but using a app called 'Bluetooth GPS Mouse')
okay, the app 'bluetooth gps mouse' doesn't seem to work. keeps saying i'm in china somewhere.
i actually found another program called 'Bluetooth gps provider' that works pretty good, except for google nav...
I informed them about the bug and today they released an update, so Bluetooth GPS Mouse should work now as well
Can anyone confirm if you can in fact BT pair the Note 8 and the GS3? Unfortunately here in the US it doesn't look like we are getting the "phone" version of the Note 8.
WiFi tethering just chews up too much battery. I'd like to use BT and skim my mobile 4G connection from the GS3. Bandwidth should be fine as both devices have BT2.
Also, if there's a BT push app for text messages that anyone knows of, that would be a nifty find also.
Thanks in advance.

Did you try Open Garden? It uses bluetooth to connect and work just as good as wifi tethering. But only one issue when I used, it could not open youtube file for some reason. Dunno if they fixed.
for what you asked with S3, maybe have to wait other people to answer since I dont own the device.
I haven't seen many threads on this and I am curious as to why it is not a concern for many Android users. Maybe it is because many Android users did not move from Apple like I did. The fact is, Apple is still superior to Android in terms of vehicle bluetooth connectivity. The more you need to look at and operate your phone while driving, the more dangerous driving becomes.
The difference between AVRCP 1.3 and AVRCP 1.5 primarily is the playlist selections. Since my car supports this, with 1.5 (iPhone 5) I would be able to see the contents of my library and browse/select music. Then I switched to a Nexus 6 and didn't have this feature anymore. Just a couple days ago I got the Nexus 5X and I am surprised they didn't change this with Marshmallow.
Is Apple always going to hover over Android with their updated bluetooth stacks?
Seems ridiculous that this is still a problem. Its as if no one want to shed any light on this. Talking about this and no apps that expose the Bluetooth stack and avrcp versions to the users who don't know any better. I would be nice if this was a separate module that could be upgraded independently so users could get the functionality they needed. Companies like Samsung rolling there own stack and adding feature is not a proper fix. This should be Android standard.
I have always been thinking the same thing, why is the
bluetooth stack from Google missing so many features.. I have tried both Samsung and HTC and their stack is just so much better.. But I always end up with a Nexus phone again and longing for a better BT stack...

BT overall sucks with the 5X. Hissing, popping, laggy stream kills it for me. It can't keep the connection with my car either while iPhones were trouble free. It's almost 2016. Are we asking for too much?
Thought I would add a way to get some info. This is from android.stackexchange.com/questions/43667/discover-version-of-bluetooth
Turn on bluetooth by going to the home screen, clicking menu->settings bluetooth. Pull that to enabled. Make sure it is on.
On the home screen, click menu -> settings -> applications -> 'running' tab.
An item appears called: "bluetooth share".
A screen pops up with information about the program, but it is sparse.
Also you can go to All tab and "Bluetooth Share" to see its actual version number. Though that might not be very helpful.
Also and old article discussing some of the bluetooth stack changes in Android for what its worth.

Sorry for the broken url but I've not posted enough on XDA to be allowed proper urls.
I'm going to try keep posting things I find that might be useful just consolidate more info in one spot. Trying to make this problem clearer for myself.
Is there anything new about AVRCP 1.5 features? May it possible to build and install a custom kernel with bluez support (which afaik has avrcp 1.5 support)?
More info on the bluez stack
