Have a quick question.... - Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an app that I bought from the market for a buck called btmono. If your not familliar with it, what it does is convert my stero output from my phone and streams it to my mono bt headset. I use it for podcast and such since its not the greatest quality for listening to music. My delima is that it was runnning fine on the stock release froyo and I am currently running phoenix II with no problems. Before I got into custom roms I updated to gingerbread via sprint update and the streaming no longer worked. After probing the net that is how I stumbled onto this site.....thanks guys!!! Anyways, since most of the developers here are way more int the programming side than I am I was justv looking for input. I really want to update to a gingerbread build rom....but thus far they all do the same thing to my bt headset....and for me this is a deal breaker....what sux is that my wife's evo 4g is gb 2.3.3 and it works fine, and 2 days ago I tried it on my brothers stock galaxy 2 touch running gb 2.3.6 and it also worked fine. Humph. So, as a blanket statment....any input would be greatly appriceated!
Thanks in advanced.
Steve

I used to use an older version of that app on froyo. I was never able to get it to work on my epic after moving to leaked builds of gb. It used to be listed in the description in the market as froyo only. I have not tried it in several months and will give it a go again later today when I get home.

Have you tried deleting your bluetooth pairings and rediscovering it?

Well first off I think you are in the wrong forum. This is the Original Epic not the Epic Touch.

Ah You are correct...read it too fast. LOL. I see he had Randomking's Pheonix II.

Thanks guys....what puzzles me is that I actually talked to the developer and he says its even running on ics on certain phones. Its also working on my wifes htc evo and my brothers galaxy II touch and they are running gb 2.3.3 and 2.3.6 respectivly. No matter what build of gb I use its always a clean install and I am forced to repair my device. Does the modem that I am using have anything to do with the bt connection?

I am wanting to upgrade to thunderhawk. This is obviously a legal hack....it would be nice if the developers would figure out how it works and include it with their builds like the wifi hack. It actually is quite useful....all system sounds go through the mono bt headset even stereo musuc and podcasts. All without getting a headset that dosent have the adp2 protocol. Honestly I'm supprised google hasent explored this feature more and offered it. From what I hear it was included on older windows phones ans palms, so the idea has been around for awhile.

I have the same problem with mine and my brothers epic... it worked with froyo but not quite right with gingerbread... one day it will work fine, the next day it will work and then cut out, the next day not at all... think the app needs to be updated to fully support epic. It does work sometimes though
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk

Just spent some time trying to get this to work on thunderhawk 3.3 and still have the same results as on every other gb rom I have tried it with. It will connect, but audio just clips in quickly here and there. This is one thing I really miss from froyo as I used it quite a bit. Not worth going back just for that though. Hopefully this will get some support soon.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

has anyone contacted the dev on the app to ask if it is GB supported? and if it is ask him why it isn't working on the epic. i think this would be a good starting point.

So here is the response I got from thbe developer via email back on nov 22, right after the sprint rollout of gb. As I said before...my wife and my brother both have gb. They just happen to not be epic.
"It is more related to the firmware / drivers / kernel modules than the Android version. The program does work on 2.2, 2.3, and even 3.0+ (haven't tested yet on Ice Cream Sandwich). It works on every HTC device that I'm aware of including my EVO 4G and it works on my Asus Transformer. Unfortunately certain manufacturers seem to alter something in their firmware that prevents it from working. Almost no Motorola devices work, some Samsung devices have certain limitations, etc. Sorry, I can't guarantee that it will work at all. It's not something that Google supports so it's basically just a hack that works in certain circumstances.
Let me know if I can help with anything else. Thanks, Brian Sent from my ASUS Eee Pad."
So let's see if we can get these guys on here....to at least look into it. As I said, it is a very useful feature.

Jeffro, I have the same issues. It connects but the audio drops and it doesn't stream like it is supposed to.

[Q] HTC Bluetooth controller fix?

Sorry if this has been addressed in another thread, but I haven't been able to find a good answer.
The Bluetooth stack for HTC Sense based android phones has some Bluetooth limitations that do not allow it to pair to Bluetooth game controllers, keyboards, and in some instances mobile (car) audio. I am not a developer so I only have a basic understanding how this works, but I've read that it is due to the SPP profile included being out of date.
A lot of Incredible owning Ford Sync and BMW drivers out there seem to be having issues syncing the Incredible, and I personally would like to be able to use a Wii controller or the Zeemote with my device. I bought a Zeemote for mobile gaming, but I gave it to my Droid X owning friend because it works great on stock Android, but refused to Sync with either my Incredible or another friend's Evo.
Does anyone (especially those people porting non Sense Android 2.2 to the Incredible) know if it would be possible to replace the HTC Bluetooth stack with a stock Android 2.2 Bluetooth stack? Ideally a user installable (with Root of course) APK.
I'd also like to know if this is possible/why it is not, even though I'm increasingly falling in love with CyanogenMod (especially as 6 seems to be nearing a stable release)
You have to download Bluetooth file transfer app from the market. Works perfectly.

Officially, Android does not support BT HID, which is needed for wiimote.
Cynaogenmod has added it via one of the devs who made it possible.
Their code is on github, if you want to attempt trying to port it to Sense based roms.
It's interesting that the Non HTC phones i've tried it on have worked fine if it is a problem with Android in general. I guess Motorolla added their own stack.
Try it on a samsung phone. Its not HTC only.

All we need to do is find an amazing chef like the guy over at Phandroid who makes the FrankenROM. I have 100% faith that guy could pull it off if he tried. He is freaking amazing!
Yes, can someone fix this. Full bluetooth functionality on 2.2 would be awesome!
Good to know about the Samsungs also having this issue. I've not had the opportunity to test a Samsung Android phone. Seems everyone I know has HTC or Motorolla.

[Q] Miui

What do you like about it? Are most of the bugs fixed such as will it run smooth with hardware 0004? Is it secure I know it has a wallpaper hub for downloading things wondering if it is virus spam spyware free?
I have used it in the past didn't like the bugs. I liked a lot of the features tho was wondering how secure and stable the latest build is.
Reminds me of CM with a twist.
I like MIUI a lot. I got bored of CM7 but didn't want to go to Sense, so I tried it out. My first flash was fairly buggy, so I went back and wiped multiple times & flashed again. Everything has been running smoothly since, no bugs. I feel it's secure. I only use the Theme Manager for certain elements, the rest of the theme I provide myself. You can also get themes from the miui-dev forums or at miui.us. The UI is constantly changing with each release, making theming a pain in the butt. Try it out and I think you'll like it. When CM7 stable came out, I said I was going to switch back. Still haven't.
I really want to try miui, I've heard alot of great things about it. But the lack of 4g kills me If and when it is ever apart of that rom I will be trying it out for sure.

I have 4g in my area but rarely use it, so it doesn't bother me. The Chinese don't have wimax, so they don't have a reason to add it. Unfortunately this leaves us without it as well. I've heard that the devs on our end have asked the Chinese if they could work on it independently. If the rom was open sourced I'm sure it would have already been implemented.
If it ever does get 4g, it will definitely be more widely used.

Did they fix the cam issue for 0004 hardware yet. Wondering if its secure I love the features wish the menu layout had more to it lol evo has loads of potential.

[Q] Why is it that Pandora works on some GSIII's and some it doesn't?

OK, this is starting to drive me nuts. Why is it that Pandora (the latest 1.7) and specifically on all the CM10 builds, does it not work on some GSIII's?
About half of the GSIII users on the CM10 thread, as well as AOKP and Jellybro are reporting that it's not working. While some people are reporting that 1.7 is working fine for them. And the other half are having to search online for the APK and revert to the previous Pandora 1.6 version to make it work. But that shouldn't be!
Aside from carriers, don't we all have the same exact phone? Someone mentioned there could be subtle differences in production build when the SGIII was being manufactured. But I refuse to believe that.
Could it be differences in certain Sprint network areas that causes Pandora to not play nicely with some GSIIIs? Or can it really be that some GSIII devices were built without some software included?
Frustrated.
More than likely a problem with sprint.

Pandora 1.7 not working

So I am a bit of a flashaholic and have used all the ROMs here on XDA and a few from elsewhere on my ToroPlus. My issue is while on the Sprint 3g network, no matter what ROM or kernel combo I have tested, I cannot get Pandora to work properly!
On WiFi it works just fine... but on 3g it will load album artwork, advertising pop ups. But will not play a song! Loads, holds, then skips on to the next track and repeats.
I live in southern Utah and the 3g speeds vary depending on time of day. I tested on off peak times where I've been getting over 1mb per second according to speedtest.net app and still no songs play. I can stream using Google Music with my 15,000 song library and even AudioGalaxy app.... both work just fine.
Pandora will not work correctly. I have tested .apk's from the market, "modified" versions from around the web, even backed up older versions of the app... all to the same result. Load, buffer, skip to the next. This has all been happening for the past few weeks as it worked fine before. I haven't changed my radio since upgrading to FG01 in July and all other apps that access data on my phone work and stream just fine.
Does anybody else have this issue? Anybody know a workaround? Maybe a buffer size adjustment at the kernel or build.prop level? Any help is greatly appreciated... I am no noob to Android or the Gnex, or with Sprint for that matter. I just need some help, cuz my 3g service ain't great in my area but it was enough to use Pandora until recently.
P.S. please don't reply with "mine is working fine" cuz that won't help, I've got a roommate and his Sprint phone and Pandora are just fine.

tried on three different roms and two kernels per rom. Now on stock ota JRO03U pandora 1.7 and it still only works on wifi. Also this has nothing to do with rooting because it also doesnt work on my wifes super stock e4gt. I think maybe it might have to do with sprint service.

I got my gnex right after FG radio dropped and ran that ever since. I do recall my modified version of Pandora 1.5.8 worked fine there. Then all of a sudden... no more
I've recently jumped up to FH and my data speeds are overall much better. However, issue still remains with Pandora. I have been unlocked and rooted since June and the app diddddd work. I don't believe it is associated with root because the app never requests root privileges right?
Could be radio perhaps but comments here don't suggest that is the culprit.

HI folks,
I just want to know your experiences with this phone. I am planning to buy this one from Amazon.com especially for its qwerty keypad.
Please share your experiences the good, bad and ugly of this phone. Is the hardware good? radio quality? after about, 1-1.5 years is the phone durable? Particular issues, quirks.
Thank you all.

it's been a really fast phone after the nokia 5800, and I love the qwerty keyboard, but I wouldnt buy it again. Now I know that the supported up to date OS is a very important point of view, and we have problems with that, so I'd buy a nexus probably. or an s3/s4
x3 ... short answer, no don't by it.
It's sad but the bluetooth and skype issues have killed this phone.
Take a look at the Droid 4 or the Galaxy Relay 4g
I think it's nice...
I just got this phone not too long ago, and I have to say, it's pretty good.
Sure, if you are a power user, I would get soemthing more powerful, with maybe a tegra 3.
This thing is dual-core, so it runs pretty flawlessly, but I have issues with a supported kernel and overclocking it, as the battery already suns at about 105 degrees F ALL THE TIME.
It's got decent specs, and an excellent screen, but honestly, if you want something with that extra "Oomph" I would get a Note II or Galaxy SIII

I would never overclock it. I would want something fast, with a keyboard, that has reliable bluetooth. It doesn't have to be top of the line, in fact I would use this to hold me over till I can get a Galaxy S4 and then get the bluetooth keyboard for that.
No, Bluetooth and store work without issue if you are on a stock bases ROM. It is the cm based ones that have this issue.
I would be interested what other people asst finding that has better hardware for the same price.

Thanks for the response. I am aware if I get this I will be stuck with stock Ice Cream Sandwich, but I can live with that. Again its just to hold me over till I can get (i.e. afford :laugh: ) the S4, and then I would get the Minisuit bluetooth keyboard. But if I get this, no I would never put a custom ROM on it nor overclock it nor anything crazy. I would simply root it and unlock it then leave it alone.
Well you may find lite ROM to you liking. It is based on stock so Bluetooth and Skype work. It cleans up the bloat and adds a few nice features such a voodoo sound. The only issue so far with this phone is poor GPS lock time and it will not be updated any more past 4.0.4

Doh so close. How bad are we talking? A few minutes, who cares, but 15 to 30 minutes, that's bad.
Also, lite ROM based off of ICS or Jelly Bean? Thanks in advance.
Depends. Once the lock happens it is rather constant. I find it is hard to get a lock while moving. Not moving it is about 5 minutes.
In short, it would fail as a dedicated GPS but would work in a pinch.
Lite ROM is based on 4.0.4. I get the names mixed up though so not sure if that is jb or ics.
