Hi All
I'm trying to track down a rom which has Bluetooth DUN installed. CyanogenMod 5.0.8 test 7 has it installed but the rom is a wee bit buggy. Any recommends?

I'm just wondering, why do you need BT DUN when you have wifi tethering?
I need bluetooth DUN so my TomTom GPS can talk to my phone
Try to search "pda net" in Market. Is it what you want ?
Hi
Nope been there, tried that
It does not have full DUN, i.e. it won't talk to TomTom. Sent them a email asking for help.

does tomtom work on android ???
Yes, install CyanogenMod 5.0.8 test 7 and Tomtom will work with traffic updates (which is what I want DUN for). This early test is just a wee bit buggy for day 2 day use.
Its an issue that has been long outstanding:

There is even a module which could be compliled, which is in 5.0.8 test 7:

I agree, it would be nice to have this
Might have a play see if its possible somehow. Busy schedule though, but I'll say if I have any success...
because CM5 supports it, maybe CM6 supports it, too. And if CM6 supports it, then maybe OpenDesire and DeFrost which are mods of CM6, too.
I've tried both cm6 and frost. Both from what I can see neither has it installed. Anyone else confirm?

*UPDATE*
I've now tried both (thanks to Rom Manager) and neither have BT DUN.

Any luck in finding anything?
So it seems Bluetooth DUN is not very popular these days (probably because most are using WiFi which is faster, in terms of speed and battery drain).
But I really need it for my new Mercedes C-class which has 'Comand Online' with internet connectivity based on BT DUN. Currently only most Nokia and Blackberry models are supported because they have native Bluetooth DUN.
Programs like PdaNet won't work because they need a client running on the device and I obviously cannot install anything on the Comand Online (no it's not a typo ) system of the Mercedes.
Any suggestions for a decent BT DUN program or Android ROM/kernel? A proper BT DUN implementation should obviously be done in the kernel. I read reports that Moto Droid X devices had success in similar scenario's and CM5 was supposed to have it in it's kernel... :-(
Anyone?
Bump...anyone?
This would be great but i think its a goooooole thing...
The only way i think thiswill happen is with a custom rom.

I don't know if anyone has noticed... but the new ROM version (1.72 + radio 14) has actually improved concerning serial bluetooth connections -- especially on my BT GPS.
Now when I bond with it, it asks me if I want to use the serial profile. I say yes, and it uses COM 5 for my BT GPS. All works fine. No need to use the Blueooth tools software that was needed before.
So this is actually an improvement, but hard to notice unless one tries "the old fashioned way" with BT GPS.
Works like a charm......
I have not tried it with BT GPS, but looking at what everyone else went through with their Headsets and bonding issues, I can defintiely attest to the fact that the new BT Stack on 1.72WWE works great! I have never had to re-pair my Jabra BT 250 since I paired it the first time two weeks ago. I have also been able to ActiveSync over BT without any problems.
Lucky u guys, when i did the update, i cant active sync through BT

Try this attached document and see if it helps.
sheran_g,
Thaks alot, all i was missing was to do the active sync profile, your document helped me.

I have noticed the added WM function for BT GPS on COM5 (already with 1.66), however 'since' 1.66 I can not get my BT GPS to work with Alturion.
The strange things are:
- At first it still worked with 1.66 but a week after it failed and Alturion and I can not get it working since (incl. 1.72 upgrade).
- if I start Alturion the blue GPS LED starts flashing fast (green LED indicates satelite lock) which suggests BT connection, but still it says "NO GPS FOUND" all the time!
- With TT3 the GPS is working ok (with BT and serial profiles)
I dare not to hope, but if anybody has an idea please let me know. I prefer not to downgrade to 1.60 since I see many issues with this downgrade on this forum.

Hi guys
I'm guessing that the 1.7 upgrade is not avalable in Australia??? I cannot find it on the MyXDA website for download? is this update that you are talking about not for Australia/Asia?

Are you sure this isn't TomTom's GPS Driver causing this? TT's GPS Drivers since v2.08 have locked the BT Com Port for exclusive access by TomTom and this prevents other apps from accessing a BT GPS. Solutions are either install v2.07 which was the last driver that did not do this or remove 'the Tomtom~GPS' entry which is the culprit, removing this removes the BT Com Port lock but does not affect the use of TomTom.
@ griffog
Actually I use TomTom ~GPS 3.03 which does not have this problem anymore! Anyhow I still (temporarely) remove the TomTom ~GPS driver and soft-reset when I test with Alturion.
But thanx for the tip.
BTW it does effect the use of TomTom for me! I guess you have a serial (non BT) GPS !?
Ronald
No I use BT GPS unit's exclusively. I'll have to investigate this as I have not heard that v3.03 no longer has this problem!
@griffog
I have this information from the Dutch PocketPC-club TT forum.
It is also consistent with what I see since the TT3.03 upgrade, even while my other GPS application (Alturion) is not working. If I run TT GPS and close it and then start Alturion the Blue LED of the GPS starts flashing fast (sadly I still get "no GPS found" however).
Ronald
:wink: remember you heard it first from me, the Premier GPS Resource :wink:
Excellent news! I've just loaded it up to test and you were right It's such good news that I've posted a front page news item, thanks
Indeed it was very good news.... but therefor also more disappointing for me that I don't get Alturion -my second GPS application- to work (on the eve of my holidays).
If you also use Alturion 5.3.1.4 (you seem in to GPS), can you share your configuration with me?
OS (1.66+?)?, BTHTools or WM serial BT profile? GPS? GPS config in Alturion? and anything else you might consider important.
I really need some new straws to grasp because I have no more ideas about what to try.
Ronald
Sadly Alturion hasn't made it across the channel. I'ce contacted them on numerous occasions for a review copy but never received a reply.
Another cool fix is the fact that you can now be connected through Activesinc using the cradle and at the same time now you can receive MMSs without a problem.
Before the 1.72 upgrade, you just couln't do that. :wink:
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,
i was under the (possibly wrong) impression that gingerbread natively supported bluetooth keyboards. (bt hid)
im at the moment stuck with the OTA update and cant seem to get my igo bluetooth keyboard to work.
any drivers that i can use with gb + igo keyboard?
regards,
asmd.
As far as I know, the problem has been with Sense (which was not upgraded with the OTA) and not with the version of android. I have used CM7 in the past and the HID profile works great. Maybe someone here who is using a Sense 3.0 Rom can validate if HID keyboards or even Wiimotes will work with the new Sense. My guess is no...
thanks for the reply.
Snap!! anybody know how to get a Igo bluetooth keyboard working with the current evo 4G GB OTA?
regards,
asmd.
My microsoft BT keyboard pairs, but doesn't connect. Same issue I had with froyo. Running Mikg 2.15 rom. When i tried the same with cm7, it pair perfectly. Not a complete deal breaker, but would of been nice. I recall reading previously that HID support had to be part of the BT stack. Whether the BT stack is a function of sense or not, I don't know. Practical testing suggests it is.
I realize this thread became a little bit old, but did anyone ever find a solution here? Or is Sense just totally incapable of working with a BT hid keyboard?
I just this past week got a new mini BT keyboard and was excited about all the prospects of using it. I'm currently on Sense MikG 2.5 and have been for about the last 6-8 months, after about a 6 month run on CM7.
I didn't realize, I guess, that there was such a vast difference in terms of BT HID devices. Anyway, I'd seen reference to an Anthrax kernel, but now see no way of downloading it.
Can anyone help out in that regard? And would the Anthrax kernel solve that issue? I might be looking to use the Anthrax kernel anyway.
I have been working to find a way to get my Igo connected. There was some small progress last night. I've been running sense 3.5. Last night I threw in a se of but hid files. Before it would even pair. Now the keyboard pairs but will not connect. For now I am using an ics rom to be adle to use my mouse. It connects with no problem. On sense 3.5 it pairs and connects. But it disconnects in less than a second
I'm having the same problems I have an LG Bluetooth keyboard and sadly running sense I can never get it to work aosp Roms seem to work fine though
I'm trying to set up a tasker profile that would work around when my laptop is on with bluetooth, my phone would connect and run the appropriate Tasker profile. I can pair the phone but it just sits at "Paired but not connected". Is this even possible or do I need an app like Bluetooth File Transfer to generate the constant connection.

I have had the same problem with CM builds. I have found that sense roms for this phone has much better BT connectivity. I use Locale alot, and it just seems to work better with sense roms. I have not tried any apps to help though.

Thanks, i had a feeling Sense base would work better.
Not sure anyone will be able to help with this appreciate its a long shot, i've bought a Garmin Vivosmart fitness tracker and it connects to the phone via Bluetooth, now it all works mint except if i go out of range with the bluetooth the phone and garmin are supposed to reconnect automatically but it doesn't i have to unpair and then repair which isn't the end of the world but is a pain in the backside, looking on the garmin forums lots of people with M8's saying the same so there seems to be an issue with the way HTC - Garmin bluetooth works, some phones seem to work perfect (as in other android phones) so it doesn't seem a generic android-garmin issue, just wondering if anyone has had the same issue with any other bluetooth equipment and managed to find a cure ?
also if anyone know if custom roms mess about with bluetooth and the way it works, tempted to try an AOSP rom or CM to see if the bluetooth works properly but i do like sense so would prefer to stick with what i got, using Insertcoins Sense 7 rom, might go back to official sense 6 and see if that works also...
thanks for any suggestions...

It worked fine for me with KitKat.
Friday evening I upgraded to LolliPop. (Did a clean install, no data restore from backup)
Since then I have the same problem. Once you lose your Bluetooth connection it won't reconnect anymore.
You have to unpair and the repair in order to be connected again. A real pain in the ass, as I use it only for the notifications on the bracelet.
I have had a Vivosmart since the week they came out. I had a lot of the BT issues the first few months (mainly due to their software being released before it was really production ready) but has been fine since. I'm rooted and have ran a few different roms without an issue. Currently I'm using SkyDragon's Sense 7 rom. I haven't had to pair to my phone due to disconnects for at least a couple months. Are you pairing from with-in the Connect app? At one time the pairing was done via the regular android BT devices but they got rid of that and now pair from the app only. So technically your Vivosmart shouldn't ever show up on the list of installed/connected BT devices because it's only paired from the Connect app. I'm sure you've been on the garmin forum but if you haven't or someone else reading this hasn't it's here https://forums.garmin.com/forumdisplay.php?478-vivosmart. I've seen posts over there about m8 users having problems but don't remember reading if anyone was able to get the problem fixed and what they did. It doesn't make sense that it works for some (like me).
Hello,
I have same problem with Garmin Fenix 3. Apparently there is some bug in HTC ONE M8 Android 5.0.1
I am able to connect and connection is quite stable but watch wont reconnect automatically.
Usually it will reconnect once you reset BT on phone and than on watch. But its quite annoying so I am also looking for solutions. Any idea? Ive tried to add watch to trusted device under smart lock but its not working either. I know most Garmin devices worked on previous version of android on HTC ONE M8 but with Lollipop its bugged..

G'day wakers,
I have had exactly the same problem with my m8. I also have only used insertcoin rom which may be part of the problem as I have an identical m8 with stock lollipop (never unlocked or rooted) and it has no problems with the vivosmart or Garmin Fenix BLE connection.
I have since sold my m8 and traded up to an m9, which is still stock, but I'm reluctant to flash custom Rom as the Bluetooth works perfectly... On the other hand, stock roms drive me mental with bloatware and ads.
If you try another Rom I'd be very interested to hear how you go...as it may give me some confidence to unlock my brand new m9.
Cheers.

Cheers for the reply i might try a few different rom's i presumed that lollipop was the issue from what your saying maybe not then i'll let you know...
I have any M8 stock lollipop and vivosmart. When vivosmart go out of range lose connection. When vivosmart come Back near smartphone, if I want to connect it, i must switch off Bluetooth and switch on manually.
It is not auto.
Can you help me?
Thank you

I'm experiencing an even worst problem with no pairing at all with my fenix 3 and Garmin Connect with Cyanogenmod 12.1 .
I've done the test with a Samsung SII, Oneplus X and Oneplus One. All pairing fail and all with Cyanogenmod 12.1
It's working well with a Samsung Galaxy S5 ! So if one Cyanogenmod developper is reading this, can you please let us know if this bug is known, or if you can log it, and i can help some troubleshooting as well.

Solution found on my side by realizing that one dialog box is not scaled in Garmin Connect and so the "yes" button is not visible in material design. I've understood this by rolling back to Cyanogenmod 11 and see the process.
Workaround is to use a language with shorter words like english. My initial set was in French. So if it can help somebody else with Garmin Connect, use it
