Is anyone having luck with ELM 327 (OBD-II to Bluetooth) adapters working with their Galaxy Nexus and / or ICS?
I never had a problem with my DroidX running 2.3.X but the SGN refuses to link with the adapter. I have it paired, but will not link up once the program (Torque Pro version 1.5.28) is running. I'm able to pair and use all my other bluetooth devices, only the ELM 327 is inop when I run the Torque apk.
Any help or feedback is appreciated.
I have no issues using the free torque.

I had problems with the pro version with my previous phones but none with the free version, as others also said.

ebay is a good place, cheap too!
Thanks for the feedback. It's a little humbling having to borrow the wife's phone (which previously was mine) to scan fault codes and do data logging.
...I don't know how she can stand all those damn Words-with-Friends notifications.
Anyway, I'm going to uninstall the paid version today and try the lite version to see if it's a HW problem or a SW bug.
BTW, I bought mine off some generic wed site for $20 shipped. It works, but crashes a lot and constantly requires manual resets (i.e. pull the connector out, and then re-plug it back in). If you are just playing around with the device and occasionally using it to check codes, this is fine. But if you want to do long term data logging, this will cause major headaches and I would recommend buying a more expensive name-brand unit that has better reliability.
Did you pair with it and enter the four digit code(usually 1234)? Also torque has a mild Bluetooth adapter diagnostic section, might want to peek in there.
Yeah, I paired it with "1234" but the program (Torque) won't activate the bluetooth device when it powers up.
I'll have to check the Bluetooth adapter diagnostic section and see if there is any information in there that can help me.
Thanks.
just send the dev an email, he helped me out with some issues a while back
Goofy problem, but I figured it out.
After setting the bluetooth adapter to the ELM 327 device, it was always revert back to the 'U connect' (Chrysler) device from the wife's car even when i was in a different car that war miles away from the Chrysler.
After 'forgetting' the U connect, the ELM 327 device setting would stick. I haven't tried to repair the Chrysler yet, but im not all that concerned since the BT call quality is pretty poopy in the car.
Hi all
I'm able to use the lite version of Torque, but the pro seems to connect/disconnet immediately
i'm alone ?
Mine works perfectly...
I bought a cheap ELM327 Bluetooth of Amazon for $20 and hooked it up to Torque Pro. You have to set up the ELM327 in the device settings in Torque...

Hi mi friend i' have same problem when i start torque pro is disconned,you find a issue?
Thanks.
This is an old thread, but wanted to give my $0.02 for those who reference this in the future...
The quality of the device is key - the cheaper the device, the more chances of a crash. As you upgrade your app (e.g. Torque), it likely queries the devices more often and for more data. So when you have hardware that is not a quality one, the chances of crashing are higher. If you're using it just for scanning DTCs, I would suggest using a cheaper $20 one on Amazon and ebay. If you're using it for a full scan for sensor data, real-time data, etc, then you should probably buy a more expensive one (Kiwi, Scantool, etc) that has a real ELM327 chip.
I recently bought this phone and found that there are problems with Bluetooth, I've tried to transfer files to other HTC One V, and its not working, even after getting devices paired, files are not transferring.
I am looking for any patch to solve this problem.
Hey even I've faced this problem and was really frustrated! But for me the Bluetooth transfer worked flawlessly after i switched my WiFi off. Guess its probably due to the Bluetooth - WiFi interference. Hope they fix it soon.
Tried.. Still Not working

Guys this is happening because of bluetooth version 4.0. Most of the devices are not compatible with this one. You will have to download a bluetooth manager app from Google Play shop to resolve this.

Issue with bluetooth headset
Hey,
I am facing peculiar issue with bluetooth, file transfer is working fine, but when I pair my HTC one V with my headset it doesn't work at all.
The same headset is working in all other mobiles including HTC one x.
Is anyone facing same issue like this.
Is there any fix available for the same.

I'm pretty sure HTC and the chip company took it into account. Now it's possible they made some errors and a software update might fix it.
Can anyone tell me the manufacturer of the WiFi/Bluetooth chip and if it does FM too ?
EDIT: A ROM indicates Broadcom BCM4330 in /system/etc/firmware. This is one of a new generation of Broadcom combination chips that I've seen to be sensitive enough to even decode RDS with no earphone plugged in as an antenna.
The One X and One S are using a Qualcomm chip, which is a big departure from the TI and Broadcom chips HTC used in the past.
If someone could send a log from my app there's info about that here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=26102918&postcount=3
Thanks !
The H1S has a Qualcomm BT chip, the H1X has a BT chip from TI.
Looks like the H1V is on the older and you would hope more reliable Broadcom chipset, the 4330 is used in many other AOSP phones.

That's interesting...
So the H1S is the only HTC device with the Qualcomm chip then... ?
But then why does the teardown for the One X say it has that Qualcomm chip ? : http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/cracking-open-the-htc-one-x/6363151?seq=54
There's an AT&T variant that has a hidden FM app, but I'm not sure it's the same chip as the International H1X with NVidia Tegra.
The Qualcomm chip is the baseband/modem for the phone, not the Bluetooth/Wifi module.

A phone can have more than one Qualcomm chip.
Qualcomm is a chip manufacturer, and they make SOCs, as well as BT/WiFi/FM chips.
They've also acquired other companies, such as Atheros, adding to their chips portfolio.
This One X teardown: http://www.techrepublic.com/photos/cracking-open-the-htc-one-x/6363151?seq=54
Says this: "Qualcomm WCN3660 dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and FM radio combo chip (WCN3660 PFN634G6 A201002)"
And here's a press release for that chip: http://www.qualcomm.com/media/relea...ghly-integrated-connectivity-solution-superio

Here is something intresting, I read an article on wikipedia about bluetooth 4.0 and got to know that its actually a downgrade in terms of its functioning. Bluetooth 4.0 is also called as Bluetooth low energy, designed to consume less power from battery, and some of the major features are-
(A) Its speed is less than classical bluetooth.
(B) Its latency is less.
(C) Its range is greater.
(D) It is not voice capable (which means BT headset won't work)
Check out the whole comparision table and more info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_low_energy

Hi borchgrevink,
this is my first post on XDA but I think I can help you about Polar HRM.
I bought it some months ago and sometimes it gives me issues about BT pairing. Searching on the net and on the Polar official forums, it seems there are some devices with hardware problems. In a post, the official Polar support suggests to take advantage of the guarantee and request a replacement of faulty devices. I'll request a replacement next week, too.
Can I give you a suggestion? Take a Zephyr bluetooth HRM and you'll not worry about pairing/connection issues. It works with Runtastic (my favourite), Endomondo, Runkeeper and all other fitness software with hrm support.
Thanks for the help!

Don't buy the polar!
I have a Polar wearlink+ and it's not usable because it loses the bluetooth connection every 5 minutes and then it becomes a nightmare to reconnect. Pretty much useless.

When I install another non official ROM (now my phone run with Cyanogen based ROM) the problem was solved.
I bought a Kingston micro Bluetooth adapter for my Win7 laptop but the Nokia shows "not supported" when trying to pair. Able to pair my Inspire (Android) and my old iPhone 3GS without issue. Has anyone successfully paired the Lumis 900 with a Bluetooth adapter? If so, what adapter did you use?

My BlueAnt S4 synced up fine yesterday when I paired it for the first time with my L900. For the OP (sorry, can't quote because of Board Express) WP does not support BT file transfer, so it will not connect with a PC, or anorher phone. Only wireless headsets and speakers.

Board Express Pro allows quoting. If you are on free version, maybe check if it works for you. Tap and HOLD a post to quote.

im trying to purchase a car stereo that has bluetooth hands free calling and is able to play music streamed from my galaxy note 2.
the salesman said however, that he cant guarantee any of the stereo units would work correctly with the bluetooth 4.0 that the note 2 uses.
...has anyone had any problems connecting to their car stereo, or can recommend a model that will work with the note 2 ?
thanks in advance.
I have a JVC navigation all in one and it works great with it.
It's a 2011 model.
yup, i have a flip screen with bluetooth and it connects perfectly, i have a full system btw, woofer, speekers amp the lot.
thanks guys .. any links for those models if possible?
If you want something literally cheap as chips, try one of these from Halfords.
I know it won't appeal to an audiophile, but if you're the sort of person who's generally happy with the manufacturer supplied head units, one of these would be a more than adequate replacement, and works fine with the Note II.
Regards,
Dave
bluetooth 4.0 is backward compatibility with all the older versions. So it works !!!!!!!!!!! No problem watsoever. The car salesman should get his facts straight or quit the job
Kenwood has problems
I have a DNX7190HD and the Note 2 will not work with the Pandora app at all through bluetooth. It will play Pandora through the Bluetooth menu option of the head unit but you will not get any song list or album art, but pause and play buttons do work.
Kenwood says the phone is not supported and there is no bluetooth software update coming.
Older Android phones work perfectly.

yes , it was something on those lines that my dealer was saying, and therefor couldnt guarantee any of the other makes would work untill he got some feedback.
As far as audio goes, you should be fine, as m4sta2k stated bt4.0 is backwards compatible. I have a Parrot MKi9000 handsfree installed (old one) and everything works, audio and controls. But, maybe on some radios not all the controls are supported (and also, whichever display functions it may have), as it seems that stuff is not 100% standard across all the bt devices, as opposed to audio profiles.
Best thing would be trying the radio on the store before buying it.

To be honest, I've not really noticed or cared much as I'm usually streaming from Spotify and thus have the phone screen on and can see what's playing there.

i agree with you , it connects everything perfectly.
but instead of a track listing on the headunit screen i just see AD2P ... its no big deal but if im missing a button press or something that shows the track info instead i would prefer to see it.
what does yours show when streaming from bluetooth / note 2 ?

Was in the car today.
Like you, it only shows A2DP on the screen and not the track. Tried with both Spotify and Google Music.
My other three BT speaker devices (2 headsets and some speakers) don't have screens so I can't say if it's the headunit or the phone.
Luckily, I don't care!
