Hey, i've heard that HTC didn't put the full bluetooth stack in the EVO or something, but what exactly can pair and function with it? headsets are obvious, but would it be possible to use this keyboard to play emulators and, well, use as a keyboard?
I'm going to assume someone is just going to say "No", but I'd like to hear (links or otherwise) how hard it is to flash an update.zip with the proper bluetooth, possibly robbed from the nexus one...or elsewhere. Maybe it's harder than i imagine, but if the fps issue is (somewhat) resolved, root made a 3 click process, and the camera LEDs used for incoming texts, this shouldn't be too far of a stretch, right?

Bluetooth has been pretty buggy once you start messing with it. Trying to add a full bluetooth stack (if it is indeed a limited version on the EVO) would take a lot of trial and error to get everything working correctly. If I had a BT keyboard I would test it out, but I don't..
This thread might have the information you're looking for. Apparently it works rather well with an app called KeyPro.

that is a promising thread! Thanks for the heads up!

Ok so I have 2 google accounts on the phone. I don't use the first anymore, so is there any way to remove this? I keep getting the "some applications use this and it cannot be removed (factory reset to remove)" which i really dont want to do!
Anyone figured out a work around?

As far as i know you have to do a factory restore, this is the only way to delete the account you have on your phone now.
So make sure you put in the account you will use all the time, other wise you will have to reset again....
hope this helps......
that sucks...its crazy they havn't imagined people may change accounts!
yes, I agree, but don't get me started, because this is just the the tip of the iceberg!
The email client doesn't work properly!
The native video player is pathetic!
The audio volume/quality through the speaker is a joke!
The headphone volume is hopelessly retarded!
The customer service from HTC is beyond contempt!
What on earth were those Google retards thinking......that we wouldn't notice that all of these things work properly on the iPhone!!!
Well I for one have had enough, I intend to sell this SPASTIC piece of garbage and and wait for the new Iphone!!!
And all you HTC fanboys out there, don't even bother to comment, because I really wanted this device to work, I really did......BUT IT JUST DOESN'T!!! Far too many bugs, and no possible hope of support from HTC. They only support the newest devices, and as they bring out a new device almost every month, what possible hope have we got for regular updates? Shall I tell you.........ABSOLUTELY NONE!!!
The only critique I have of the current Iphone, is the screen, but otherwise, it works straight out of the box, and I believe that they will fix this on the new model. So shame on you HTC for not listening to your customers, if you treat us with contempt, we will go elsewhere!!!
Can't comment on headphone volume as I don't use it as a media player - it's a phone - but speaker volume seems fine to me. Again, I don't use it often so can't really comment.
Only use Google Mail client which works fine, never bothered using the other client as I've got my laptop for that
Other than that I can't fault the Desire - it's owns the iPhone in every department bar music and there's no other phone I'd rather have. And I'm not an HTC fanboy - I'm an Android fanboy!!

Email works great for me, no issues at all, better than most platforms so far.
Video mplayer is fine. I use Act1 player anyway but full movies encoded from a BR look fantastic. Yeah no Divx, but it sucks and i have no Divx anyway so dont care.
Headphone quality and volume is fine. It meets the legal maximum volume in the EU for headphones, just like all devices have to.
Speaker quality isnt the best ever no, but but again does anyone actually use that for music? Really?? Its fine for voice.
HTC were great when i needed my HD2 repaired. Fast friendly and did a great job.
Does anyone know if it's possible to do voice to text using bluetooth instead of the phone's mic?
no. I've looked into this before but only found apps that can read you text but as far as what your talking about no, I think it may be possible once someone makes an app for it though.
I was using VLingo for a while and it did this. Only I had a bunch of force closes with that app. Then after I removed it I had major issues with BT, it works pretty good but does have its quirks. I'd stay away from it unless you have to have this. FYI once you install it it makes a mod to your bluetooth stack that i couldn't fix without a complete wipe and reformat, then I had to roload my rom and set it back up from scratch. Some people have reported going into applications and removing the "update" to the bluetooth stack fixed for them. I didn't have an update so it didn't work for me. Also restoring a nand didn't fix either.
OnStar also has something coming out soon:

If this has been covered before, I can't find mention of it. I've moved from a blackberry tour to the dinc 2. My blackberry easily paired with my Nissan Altima and had a feature to download my internal phonebook, allowing me to see caller ID on incoming calls. The dinc paired easily enough, and gives much better reception than the BB, but I can't find any way to download my contact list. A spend a lot if time in the car, and life would be easier if I knew who was calling without digging the phone out of my pocket.
Am I missing something obvious, or is this feature simply unavailable?
Thanks in advance for any input or advice.

My Ford sync'd with the inc2 including downloading the address book without any problems. That's pretty standard capability so I can't see why you should have any troubles - perhaps you need to tell the car to update or some such.
Thanks. I'm probably missing something obvious. If it works on Ford it should work on Nissan, so I'll digg out my manuals and try again. I had convinced myself that it just wasn't possible.

I've been doing a ton of research and I want to know what the status is of using the Nexus 7 (2013) as a hands free device. I've seen some discussion about BlueZ, adding bluetooth profiles, using hands free kits, mic input from DACs, etc. but nothing really that recent. I'm hoping that there has been some development in this area with 5.1.1. The goal is to have the call audio go to the car speakers and maybe have an external mic for the audio in.
How are others doing it and what is the current accepted way to accomplish this? Can someone point me in the right direction? I'm starting to build my system and this is one of the last things I need to figure out.
I have the cellular version Nexus 7 if there's a way I can use that to send/place calls from the same number with a second SIM or something.
you can setup the nexus through auxiliary so that audio goes through the car speakers, and if your really picky about what kind of sounds go through your car speakers or the nexus speakers you can use an app like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.woodslink.android.wiredheadphoneroutingfix&hl=en
For making calls and such from a different device you should use an app like Mysms https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mysms.android.sms&hl=en
It allows texting from any device using your phone by sending the info through wifi or bluetooth to your phone. It can also route calls from your phone to what ever device you want allowing you to answer with your tablet (with mysms this requires paid version, but there are likely other apps out there).

The issue is that I'm replacing the head unit with the Nexus. I have Tablet talk which allows me to answer calls on m phone from the tablet, but the audio goes over the phone. I want to be able to answer the phone call on the tablet and have the tablet handle the audio. I've seen other threads about this and I've searched, but I haven't seen anything that are very recent. The best 'solution' I saw was implementing the BlueZ bluetooth stack to provide the required profiles, but I find their instructions confusing and it doesn't seem like anyone has attempted to get it working even though many people are looking for a solution to this.
Does anyone have any experience with implementing BlueZ on 5.1.1?
ok, your saying the app requires you to still use your phone to complete a phone call.
Using google voice setup and hangouts. Using this setup is the best I can think of. You can setup your current phone number I believe to work with google voice. Then just setup your phone to tether to your tablet.
Im fairly certain google hangouts can use your cellular service to place the calls and text, but if you have no service but have data/wifi it can use those, but im not 100% sure on that.
EDIT: I should clarify, google hangouts/voice works to make calls/texts/videocalls over wifi on any smart device without cell service. By using your own number your tablet will be able to make calls/texts/videocalls all from your number, all you need is data connection/wifi. I have not tried using hangouts over cell service without data, never had a need.

Did you find something. Sometimes I have the impression that some people just can't understand a simple English sentence, like arolust.

Nah, I gave up - I got no support so I just broke down and got the MotorMouth 2.
But if someone were to figure it out I'd like to know the solution so I can have a single device act as my HU.
I'm working on a solution. Bluez lets you build AOSP for Nexus 7 2013 and it has HFP support. I will tell you if I did something. It really looks like no one is willing to help on this area. I searched a lot, but just peaces.

Hello xda users
I wonder if I can use this to replace my Huawei P9. I am primarily interested in the phone, message (SMS) functions, Google Maps (incl. GPS) , weather and mailbox functionality.
For the rest (ie. Whatsapp) I want to use them on my Galaxy Tab S4, which I can't take with me all the time (hence original question).
Phoning might be a bit tricky, so I wonder what are you solutions to this? Sofar I thought about Bluetooth "headsets".
Thanks for any responses in advance
This is a personal opinion but I think this would be like changing car to bike. You can drive both but it is not the same
Phone is good (between the speaker and bluetooth headset support).
GPS works well enough. Not sure I'd want turn by turn in a car on it but it works.
Texting is fairly inconvenient.
I agree with the previous person. Can you do it? sure. Would I want to? not really. You would be better off getting the smallest cheapest android phone that supports the watch and just don't pull your phone out very often. Heck you could keep it in phone only mode (assuming that is supported) and only switch to the regular mode when needed.
