Settings.apk and Bluetooth Headphone not working - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I just bought a bluetooth Sol Republic Air Tracks headphone. It works great with my smartphone but i can't make it to work with KFTV.
I sideload settings.apk that i got from searching google and found it here: https://coderwall.com/p/uzviqa
Opening settings.apk i can find and connect my bluetooth phone and it works for a few seconds with a lot of LAG and then it stops working and goes mute. I can disconnect it and reconnect and the same thing happens again.
Maybe i got an old settings.apk and that's why it doesn't work? If so, where can i download the settings.apk that everyone mentions in other threads?
Maybe it's my bluetooth headphone?
Thanks to everyone who can help me.
EDIT: Found this thread with a link to settings.apk and seems to be the same one that i got (same file size). http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2714494
So i guess the issue is with my headphone? Anyone had issues with bluetooth headphones? Read somewhere about using a bluetooth receiver, maybe i will try that. Altough the author said it was a receiver that came with the phone, so i don't know about using a generic one...

[Q] Force Close Youtube and Bluetooth issues

Hello all. I am enjoying android on my Tilt 2. Thanks to all who have contributed.
I am fairly new to Android and have been having some issues. Although there are references to one of my issues elsewhere none of the posted suggestions have worked for me. I have installed and uninstalled over a dozen different Youtube .apk files and each one results in a force close upon opening the app. Has anyone had this issue on a Tilt2 and how did you fix it?
Secondly, I have seen reference to bluetooth working in some of the newer builds. Is it working on a Tilt2 in any build? When I try to turn on bluetooth it trys for several seconds but never actually turns on. If anyone has it working on a Tilt2 could you please explain how you got it working? Can I use a stereo bluetooth headset with it, if not is there anyway to use usb headphones?
I apologize if this is addressed elsewhere. I am sure there will be some people asking if i even searched. As i mentioned, I have seen references, but none seemed to be clear on what device they were using. (Rhod, Tilt2, TP2, etc..) Any help is greatly appreciated. Keep up the good work. Hopefully soon this will be an option for all-around everyday use on these devices.
Well BT doesn't really work... it'll pair, but it won't pass audio. At least that was my experience on my RAPH - haven't tested on my RHOD.
Youtube, never really tried that either... may need hw3d to work right. I heard that the 'low-quality' version of youtube works tho.
3.5mm headphone jack works - kinda. But currently to get it to work it breaks all other sound. I'm not sure if it works on the extUSB thing, but I'd imagine it would - you just set the snd.force to 1 (I set it to 2 for the 3.5mm jack) and boot Android while a call to voicemail is running - with some headphones plugged in. This does cause adverse effects - no sound other than the headphones, and I noticed funky noises coming out of the speaker when playing music thru the headphones...

I posted a working YouTube apk here (low quality mode only): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7954193&highlight=youtube#post7954193
BT doesn't currently work on the Rhodium. I assume it's because of the different BT stack that's used by our device. Besides that, while BT turns on for the Topaz & Raphael, audio doesn't pass properly, as was already mentioned. 3.5mm Headset doesn't work on the Tilt 2 through the ExtUSB (in fact, no audio passes through the adapter at all).

Don't know if you've figured this out yet or not, but I had the same youtube issue on my rooted LG ally. I've worked on it for over an hour now, and finally got a solution.
Download Titanium Backup from android market. Go to "Backup/Restore" in Titanium, scroll down to the YouTube entry, tap it, tell Titanium to Wipe Data.
Edit: Okay, I lied. Reboot and back to force closes.

I doubt it's that important you have to bump the thread every hour or so.
Unpair both devices completely and repair them again. It might not be pairing both modes.
You can also see if HFP is enabled in the /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf file via the Root Explorer app.
I use music and handsfree just fine with my SGS2 and my cheap Panasonic head unit. If the 2 options aren't there under the bluetooth device, then it's a pairing issue.
I have paired my device several times in various cars and never had to do any special configuration. I've always worked fine for the first try.

Does your phone pair properly with other car based bluetooth?
If not, it may be the kernel.
I had successful pairing with my original dlev rom in both of my cars and intermittent problems answering or my the other side could not hear my voice. Solution was to switch the kernel.
Hope this helps.
to what kernel you switched?! that exacly my issue! please answer
If you're having that much problem with it, pick up wired headphones with mic (or use the ones that came with the phone). I switched from bluetooth to these and will never look back.
but i need to use bluetooth due to the car's speakers....
thats the whole thing...
Bluetooth is car is always a matter of luck to me.
Feling lucky because I can manage it with my SG2 better than with my previous phone, the original I7000 galay
well that info isnt really helpful
anyone else might help please?
anyone????????
Are you 100% sure the car player has compatible a2dp music streaming?
If so then both headset and media options should be available in the Bluetooth pairing options.

Did you ever solve this issue? I am having the same problems with the same deck and phone.
Cheers.
It is not the phone, it's your dash unit. You'd be better off contacting Pioneer or whoever makes your aftermarket unit.
My SGS2 has sync'd and made calls perfectly via BT since day 1 with my Nissan GT-R... everything is stock Nissan though.

[Q] Bluetooth Car FM Transmitter Problem

Hi all
(posted this in the Accessories forum - I think it should have been in here, so have posted again. Sorry mods.)
Been using a Bluetooth Car FM Transmitter with an SGS2 for months, which worked perfectly.
However, I just got the HTC One X, and although the music streams fine through the transmitter to the radio, none of the buttons - Next, Prev, Play, Pause etc - do anything.
The phone is 'receiving' them as such - the screen un-dims when I press something, but nothing actually does what it should.
Is this a known issue with the HOX? Or conflicting BT versions perhaps? I just cannot find anything like this online...
Hope someone can help or I may have to send this beast back!
i wonder if it's something to do with different bluetooth versions?

Yeah maybe ... how do I find this out though? Is that a definite possibility?
no idea, could be...

[Q] Wired Headset Mode not exiting, can you relate?

Ok so it's been a while I didn't use my phone with a wired headset, but some time ago I would always use it to listen to music on my daily commute. Lately I started using it again. I've always used it with some Soul SL99 for music and calls with no problems.
But since 2 days ago I noticed it stays on headset mode even after disconnecting the headphones. when I make a call the built in mic and speaker don't work and the proximity sensor disabled. I can use it on speaker with no problem, and if I connect the headset people don't here me clearly. I have to restart the phone to exit headset mode on it, but whenever I connect my headphones it'll stay in headset mode no matter what until I restart it again.
Only weird thing I've done is try out different audio mods, like AwesomeBeats, Ac1d audio and Noozxoide. So I can't tell if it's damaged hardware or software. I've tried full wiping my rom, I've tried 3 different Roms including going back to 4.1 and on every single rom it does the same thing.
So basically my question is, could it be software driver related? Or most likely hardware? If software, would there be a fix? And if hardware, what piece would it be, the loud speaker/headphone module, or the headphone flex cable?
Has anyone experienced this before?
I have no experience with it, but maybe this will fixed in the next update to fix Bluetooth streaming.
Can you try cm10 stable or another 4.2 rom and see if that helps

I did, I tried AOKP latest build, XenonHD, CNA 3.8.0, and some others. Still does the same thing. Hopefully it is software and I won't have to buy replacement parts.

I've bought a Nexus some days ago and it already came with 4.2.1. I have just added root and CWM.
Yesterday I tried for the first time to connect it to my car's bluetooth handsfree kit. I activated Btooth, but I've not found any way to make the phone visible. Tapping on the phrase "your phone is not visible" did nothing. It was searching for devices but found nothing. Later at home I've found on google forums many people that have problems with bluetooth on 4.2.1. I also found that in some situation it is impossible to turn it off, and it does not work correctly. I have found this advice:
Go in settings - applications. swipe to the right last page "ALL". Search for bluetooth pairing app. Click on it and terminate it. Maybe you have to tap twice. Now your BT is off. Now go in application again (or use your favorite widget, like widgetsoid) and turn BT on again. Now it should work (for some time, only !!) This way I was able to pair Nexus with handsfree and also I've made some calls.
From forums, it seems a software bug. Found in other phones also, not only on Nexus.
Cheers

[Q] CM10.1 4.2.2 -- Bluetooth Audio in Car?

I saw that Bluetooth Audio was supposed to be working in CM10.1 (installed clean, formatted everything, etc; no custom kernel) and that people were saying it should stream fine to your car's stereo. I just recently tried hooking it up to my Ford Escape and don't hear anything coming from it when using Play Music. It is registered and synced. I can hear a faint buzz/hum from it off and on, like static on the line. It was showing that it was playing through Bluetooth. I'm not sure if it has to do with Play Music or something else -- I was curious if anyone else was having issues?
I've noticed this is also the same in my girlfriend's Volkswagen Golf. It syncs fine and registers with the car, but it won't actually play the music over the car speakers and instead we get silence. Her Galaxy Nexus (following the same directions/procedures) works fine in her car -- haven't tried in the Escape yet.
I'd love to be able to finally jam to some tunes in the car -- was curious if anyone had tried to sync to the car and had any issues, etc...
Thanks!

Shoot, sorry. I saw this one, instead -- and folks were saying BT was working... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2161205
Both of those threads refer to the same thing not working: headset profile for bluetooth, so you can't use it for calls.
Bluetooth audio is working. I use it myself regularly. It does not, however, show the song/artist/album title
Audio? I'm not sure what to think. I'm assuming my car thinks it's a headset instead of an audio device, so I'm assuming that is my problem at the moment...

I think I've noticed your issue, I connect my BT (Jabra SP700), start up Pandora, Pandora says it is playing but no sound. I have found that once in this state, if I directly reboot so that the BT reconnects upon startup, Pandora+BT behaves correctly. Give it a shot.
Well, the first time I had it going through Bluetooth Audio, it didn't work. I tried again later and it worked, for some reason.
I'm probably going to have to attribute that the problem was not the code, but a problem with something between the seat and steering wheel!
Thanks for all suggestions!
