ReSound hearing aid connected to phone - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I do have a hearing aid (ReSound) and want to connect it to the phone using the ReSound app (via Bluetooth).
Has anyone here already done this? I read about connecting the hearing aid to the phone and it seems there may be problems with Android phones.
AFAIK connecting the ReSound hearing aid to a iPhone 5/5C/5S works like a charm (hearing the phone calls via the hearing aid - like a Bluetooth headset) but not with Android as there is one of the Bluetooth profiles missing in Android that is needed for the connection.
Can anyone confirm, that connecting the ReSound hearing aid to an Android phone (preferably the HTC ONE M8 as I alread own one) works?
(Sorry for my bad English - it's not my mother tongue.)
Thanks!
Chris

According to Mohammed Qasim Shiraz the UK product manager for GN ReSound - http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...phones-are-supercharging-hearing-aids-1260865
"Building the connectivity into iPhones and iPads needed direct work with Apple, and while phones like the Galaxy S5 have the necessary compatibility, Shiraz said it wasn't that simple, although admitted that owners of popular Android phones might be able to use the LiNX in the future too:
The biggest struggle with Android is the platforms they operate on. iOS is one platform, but with Android we're looking at over 1200 platforms."
Apparently Bluetooth 4 is only part of the connection equation and Apple/Linx have worked out a proprietary feature that only works with the iPhone. Looks like until HTC? or Samsung? decide they want to add hearing aid compatability we androidians won't be connecting without an intermediate device.

Currently looking into doing this setting the thread is a couple years old hoping maybe something change Resound LiNX2 9 with Samsung s6

Resound LINX2 works with Android now. Officially on Resound.com (http://www.resound.com/en-US/compatibility) only listed Samsung brand, but it seems that it works with all Android version higher than ver 4. I'm using LG V10 (Android 6.00) and it works fine. However, the app only allows to change environment (preprogrammed when the HA is set up), adjust volume on the left and right hearing aids. Streaming is only applicable to iOS, for Android a $300 Resound Unite Phone Clip+
From Resound Q&A
Can I stream audio directly from the Android phone?
A: The technology in Android phones do not currently support direct streaming of audio to the hearing aid. Android users are encouraged to utilize the ReSound Unite Phone Clip+ for this enhanced set of streaming capabilities to their ReSound hearing aid.

Can we somehow solve the streaming issue? Obviously android phones can connect now, but just needs to be detected as a streaming device.

wahoo blue hr and sgs3 with bluetooth 4.0

Hi!
I'm under Omega 9.1 - XXBLG1 and I have a "wahoo fitness blue hr" (it's a heart rate belt) and it works perfectly with a iPhone 4S. Happy to know?
The thing is that this wahoo should work on android too with apps such as Runtastic or Endomondo. Of course, I'm here 'cause it doesn't.
After a scann, the phone finds my headset, but not my wahoo...
Anybody successfully connected any bluetooth 4.0 item with sgs3? Any idea why it doesn't work with mine?
NB : I heard about some "secret codes" to put in the dialler like *#232331# , but it didn't work as well.
Thank you for any clue!

In the blog of that site (sorry, I'm not yet able to make a proper link but if you write

Will it work with my iPhone 4?
Nope. The Wahoo Blue HR ONLY works with the iPhone 4S right now, but in the future it will work with other “Bluetooth Smart Ready” devices. Rumor is that the next several generations of iPhones and Android devices will all have Bluetooth Smart wireless technology integrated. This product will NOT work with the iPhone 3, 3GS, or 4.

I was looking into wahoo products myself, specifically their Cadence Sensor. I have emailed them regarding compatibility with Android phones with BT 4.0, waiting for their reply.
If you're looking for a heart rate monitor to use with the GS3, this one made by Polar works great
http://www.polar.fi/en/products/accessories/Polar_WearLink_transmitter_with_Bluetooth
There are two BT HR Monitors made by Polar, make sure you get the NON H7 Model. The H7 model only works with iPhones

And right after I posted my last comment, I received this email from Wahoo
"Hi,
I'm sorry we do not offer Android support as of yet. Android has not yet opened up their API to allow for access to the Bluetooth 4.0 sensor in the phone. Once they do we will begin working on it and allowing our app partners to do the same.
Thanks!

So according to them, it's Google not releasing their API for Bluetooth 4.0?
@kman79 : Thank you a lot for the research you did and for your sharing. Because I already have that sensor, I didn't even check if concurrence had something else.
By the way, even if they clam that they do not have the API for bluetooth ( what is not true, 'cause a search in Google with "android bluetooth api" gives you the command... now maybe it is some different for bluetooth 4.0... ), the sgs3 should at least detect the device even if the apps cannot use it (like a PC). But the sgs3 doesn't see the device... and if Wahoo would have the API for bluetooth 4.0, I really don't know how they will manage to make sgs3 recognize the device. I'm really septic for the future of this topic.
Thanks a lot for the search about alternatives for my Wahoo, I will probably check if.
to the best of my knowledge wahoo is NOT BT4 they are ANT+ which is a variation (proprietary variation) of BT4 IIRC
so no the SG3 won't see it.

this in incorrect. there are both ant+ wahoo sensors, and the new blue SC sensors which are bluetooth 4.0 smart devices. from all my reading, there is not yet any applications that can read the data due to supposedly google not releasing the bluetooth 4.0 api; this really doesn't seem to make much sense, but ok. there is a new app out for android that appears to recognize bluetooth 4.0 devices, no one has yet to report if it works for more than just pairing and will provide sensor data to apps.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nordic.nordicbleapp#?t=W10
start this to show importance to google; does look like support is planned, just not here yet.

Check out this bt4 heart rate monitor site
http://beetsblu.com/apps/google-play/
Edit, same app as posted above
the reason the wahoo blue doesn't work is because the android version isn't coded to accept bluetooth 4.0 devices since they consider that only 2 android devices out there can do bt4.0 so they are too lazy to implement it.
i ended up getting the Zephyr HxM to pair with Endomondo for my workouts and such.
I'm looking for a speed and cadence sensor. No good solution until Bluetooth 4.0 ble support is added.

I inquired about this a while back.This is what they told me:

Do you plan on making Wahoo Bluetooth 4.0 devices available for Android? There are a number of BT4.0 Android phones on the market now (including the best selling phone right now, the Galaxy S III) and many more to come in the near future. It seems like it would make good business sense to stop ignoring such a large customer base and BT seems like a great opportunity.

Hi ,
due to the Android operating system's lack of BTLE developer support we are being forced to use individual phone manufacturers APIs to allow our products to work with the phones. Currently we are working on a Galaxy S3 implementation for our Blue HR and Blue SC and should have a solution by the end of the year.

They obviously missed the end of the year mark.... Though, I think Google just announced that Android 4.3 would have native support for BTLE.
I personally opted for the Suunto Move Stick Mini (ANT+ USB stick) connected with an OTG cable. It works pretty well, the only problem is the micro usb connection being so small that its not very stable. You need to find a way to keep the cable firmly plugged in. I use the app IpBike (which also works for running). Somewhere on these forums I also posted how to hack Endomondo to support ANT USB sticks.

well, the 4.3 android update seemed to change things. Wahoo just paired (at least once, it is not perfect) with BLE heart rate monitor app.
This thread was one of the top search results for "Nexus 4 bluetooth smart wahoo". Cant say I recomend Wahoo on android, i am having problems. But i saw it work at least twice so far.

[Q] Mini Cooper Third Party Entertainment System- WINCE/ Android - Upgrade Solutions?

Hello Xda-Developer Members,
My Name ist Robin, I'm from Germany and almost 20 Years old. This is my first post here (since 5-6 years ago), please be patient if my English is not that good or i'm writing in the wrong topic.
I've been customizing HTC Devices almost 5 oder 6 Years ago, so deep in my mind there are some rememberings about flashing XDA's left, but actual i would rather call myself an absolut beginner If you have interesting links or tutorials for me, that can answer my questions, please just post the link. I guess my english is that bad that i don't have the right keywords to find what i'm looking for.
I've bought myself an R56 Mini Cooper S and i'm very happy about this car, except of the Entertainment. The original Headunit has no functions than the tuner,an auxiliary input and a CD-Player. The sound is not powerful ( i already managed to customize and delete the 100Hz Limiter the Radio has for the "Stereo-System-Speakers") as this lays in the low ampfiler power. Upgrades are very expensive (Bluetooth just for calls - 300€ all around- no A2DP Support at all!!) and doesn't satisfy me as they won't work properly ( Problems with ID3-Tags, USB-Storage Sizes...).
Professional Digital Sound Processing (about 300€) requires a MOST-Bus Interface(very expensive). Summing up all togheter, working with the original Headunit will never make me happy at all.
I was looking for some alternatives and found two kinds of upgrade head units, that fit into the original interior design and which seems very interesting to me expecting the functions.. I'd like to ask the professionals here some questions about ist.
Headunit Version 1: Please search on Aliexpress for " ZESTECH New mini cooper car dvd player with gps navigation radio bluetooth steering wheel car dvd player mini cooper ", I'm not allowed to post a link in here
This Headunit is equipped with an ARM11 Processor 800Mhz, 256MB Ram, 128 MB Rom and a custom version of WNCE 6.0.
There are several functions that i would be really interested in- like the GPS Receiver, Bluetooth (With A2DP!) Touch Display, CAN-Bus interface for wheel steering control and so on.
Also i'm afraid of a very slow system ( 256MB Ram and 800Mhz is not very much, isn't it?!), a crappy software design with bad german translation, navigation software that doesn't work properly.... Problems we know from "NoName China Devices"..
So i'm wondering if it is possible to install a clean Version of WIN CE i could customize by myself ? Can i upload the ROM that is installed on the device just to take out drivers? (I guess, i'll have to?!)
I have heard, Windows Phone 7 is based on the WIN CE 6.0 Core. Is it possible to install Phone7 on a WINCE device ? I like the Design of it better than the WINCE- and Windows Phone would deliever a Software store, were i could easily download Apps, i guess.
Would it be possible to install a clean version of Android on this device? In those days i was hacking my HTC, Android actually came on and some custom ROMs appeared that managed using Android on WInMob Devices by using HaRet as "boot loader" , i deeply remember....
Headunit Version 2: Please search on Alieexpress for " Pure Android 4.4 Car radio DVD GPS for BMW Mini (up to 2013) with Bluetooth RDS USB SD IPOD SWC Rearview 3G Wifi Support DVR "
This Headunit is equipped with a more powerful 1,9 Ghz Cortex A9 CPU, 1GB Samsung Ram and 8 GB ROM. Even the quality of the software design and display resolution is much better. Also it has WIFI, a Can Interface, Bluetooth, GPS Receiver, and so on. Another benefit that there is already a version of Android running on it- but it's still no clean version. The description says something about that the google market is installed on the device. Could any problems come up to me that the market won't work properly?
Is it possible to take this device, take the hardware drivers out of the original ROM and finally install a current clean Android ROM on it?
Can man make the Google Market work? ( I heard there are Problems with self-cooked ROMs and the Google Market- but im only a noob )
I still remember, building a custom rom and make a upgrade ROM work is a big amount of work- but if this is possible it would be worth it, for me and sure for other Mini Drivers since most of them are sad about the bad Entertainment.
Please don't be angry about the large text and maybe some dumba** questions. I did much to find a solution by myself, but still im sitting here without any idea
I'm looking forward for your answers,
Robin
If you want a hackable Chinese headunit, I would recommend the 2 most popular here on XDA:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/and...4-4-2-kitkat-head-unit-newsmy-carpad-t2865525
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2660662
But I don't know how well they or their variants will fit in your car.
If you just want "Android Auto" you can try my headunit app on a tablet: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60894402&postcount=94
Hey hey! Thank you for your fast response!
The Version 1 Headunit you wrote about is my absolute favourite. very nice thing. Sadly, putting a 2-Din Headunit into my car means a lot of work, and there is still the old command unit for the standard radio that won't work anymore if there is a new sound station installed.
If there is no better solution i'm fine with that. But as long as there are - maybe - head units that fit into the original interior, this would be more satisfying.
A few Minutes ago i sent a Mail to the Customer of the Android DVD radio if there are any limitations within his android version and if there would be a possibility sending me a clean rom version if i buy the radio. Last point is a high expectation- but who knows

Looking for a MHL / Mirrorlink 1.1 / Android auto phone

I am getting crazy to find a phone, which will be used in the car with a Kenwood DDX-7025 probably. AFAIK the DDX-7025 supports MHL, with Mirrorlink I am unsure, looks like the 7015 supports Mirrorlink. But I want to use Sygic which needs Mirrorlink 1.1 if I don't want to use MHL. Actually I don't know what I should prefer MHL oder Mirrorlink. So my goal is to buy a phone which supports MHL and Mirrorlink 1.1
The cheapest I found is a HTC One (M8), when I check https://cert.mirrorlink.com/ProductListing/ On the on side it is a little bit above my budget and on the other side, I would prefer a bigger display. Android auto shoul be supported too, which needs Android 5.0 min.
Is there a Sony phone which supports Mirrorlink 1.1. Looks like most Sony phones support Mirrorlink 1.0 only.
As a person who tests car head units supporting MirrorLink, CarPlay and Android Auto for a while now, I can only conclude that MirrorLink (even in the 1.1 installment) is the buggiest of all three. Sadly, CarPlay seems to be the most consistent.
Yes, it is really sad. Do you know any headunit which supports Mirrorlink 1.1?
I've never looked to buy a head unit. I've only been involved in the developing of the project, as a tester. Sadly neither of the projects are launched yet and even if they'd be launched, you'd have to buy the whole car, as they were OEM head units.
Bottom line is, if you want remote UI on your head unit, try to search for something that supports Android Auto or CarPlay (depending on what phone you have or want to buy). Usually, head units that are currently in development will support either all three standards or just AA and CP.
Out of the two standards available for Android, ML needs, as an extra, a certified phone. It also is, from what I've seen, more buggy and generally less stable than AA or CP.
What I want is to mirror any app on the head unit screen and that is hard to realize. Android Auto is Google dominated, I don't want the Google navigation and I am not interested in things like how high is the "Empire State Building". Mirrorlink is limited to certain apps, a catastrophy which apps, especially which navigation apps are allowed. So the only solution would be MHL, what I found out. But with MHL it is very critical with the devices. I read that it stopped working sind Android 5.0
What did you end up with?

Good question, at least I forgot the connection between phone and head unit. I bought an Alpine head unit INE-W990BT (including navigation), which I won't buy again because gps is too inaccurate, I assume Kenwood is better and use this for navigation. In case I need more than I use a Zuk Z1, which has an excellent battery, which is mounted below the wind shield.
I have a kenwood ddx9702 and I connect android auto up with my sprint htc one m8 (bad boys ROM s-off). Using MHL it only mirrors phone screen. Using USB I get android auto to work.

Projecting Screen (software demos)

I have an M8 GPE (converted from Rogers).
I'm trying to come up with a way of doing web-demo's of my software. Thought the xda community may have suggestions. Apologies if this is the wrong forum for this question.
I have a Mac. For demo'ing an iPad app I use a lightening cable and quicktime to capture the video which then goes out to the world on a join.me. Sounds a bit convoluted but it works pretty reliably. I use the cable to mitigate video slow-downs with AirPlay on a congested wifi.
Are there any similar options with M8/GPE?
I can use Miracast to project my screen to a compatible TV, but it seems that Miracast Clients are not great (http://www.airserver.com/, www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/android/).

Bluetooth HFP 1.6 wideband audio (HD Voice)?

It's lame that in 2016 we still have to ask this. Google was very late to the party to implement hands-free profile 1.6 with wideband audio. They just started with the N6 in late 2014, the N5 did not have it. But, the N9 does not have it, the Shield Tablet does not have it, the N10 of course doesn't either, so no Google tablets that I know of (haven't tried a 2013 N7 though).
If you're wondering, so-called HD Voice in bluetooth (not to be confused with the carriers' "HD Voice" which is a similar thing but within their network) is also called wideband audio because normally BT cuts out at about 3kHz for voice/talk. HFP 1.6 wideband doubles the bandwidth to about 7kHz so voice is much, much clearer.
Usually this is advertised for phones cause the carriers are implementing their own HD Voice, and you'd need a BT HFP 1.6 wideband headset to take advantage of that, but what everyone seems to miss is that pretty much all VoIP apps use a wideband codec, and those work great with these HD headsets.
So, if anyone is familiar with this, could you test it on the Pixel C? You'd need a HD Voice headset, of course. I know pretty much all Sony ones are (but for some like the SBH52 and BRH10 you have to explicitly enable it with an app), and most modern ones from the big brands. If you don't know how, you can make a hangouts-to-hangouts voice call from your phone, and listen to the clarity. (Don't use Skype though, I think its Android app while it does use wideband normally, falls back to narrowband for bluetooth.) There shouldn't be much difference between using headphones and using the headset connected to the tablet. If it's not HD Voice, you'll notice a big difference with the higher frequencies, especially the "S".

Hey Andy o
I have a Plantronics Voyager Edge with Wideband - I use it daily with my N6P on voice calls (GSM).
I'd be happy to pair it with the Pixel C and happy to try via hangouts, but no one I know uses hangouts anymore. PM me if you want to try and test this.
Seems that the pixel c has no hands free Bluetooth profile at all (not narrow band and not wide band). When you connect a Bluetooth headset the tablet pairs but doesn't connect to any hands free profile. It has A2DP for music streaming but if you were thinking of making voip call using a Bluetooth headset, forget it. Pretty lame for a $500+ device.

Hence why I returned it. This and the lack of auto correct when typing with the keyboard killed it for me.
I wonder if this is because of the rumors that it was designed for Chrome OS which, unbelievably, just got the HFP profile last July. If so, it might be available in future updates, and would support the notion that the software on this thing was rushed out.
Regardless of the reason, it is simply unacceptable that such a premium device being sold and a high price tag will lack basic features like this.
I'm sure most users won't use a headset with this device but for the price support for it should be included. The original nexus 7 didn't have it either. The second nexus 7 had it (lowband). The nexus 9 had this profile.
This is why apple is doing so well. Everything just works.
I don't even think "premium" comes into play. That any modern tablet or phone doesn't have it is nuts. I can't imagine a modern BT chip not having support for it, so it's probably a software/drivers issue, but who knows if Google will fix it.
BTW, are you sure the 2012 N7 didn't have it? I remember it not having a TRRS (headphone+mic) connector, which also crippled it for Square payments, and which was just as dumb a product design choice. But IIRC one of the workarounds was to use a BT headset.
Also, I don't think the N9 has HFP 1.6 wideband. The audio itself is just terrible in comparison with HD-enabled devices like the N6P, N6 and my iOS devices. Even using a frequency generator just to be super sure has it cut off at just above 3500 Hz which is expected for the narrowband profile. With wideband I can still hear on the other device up to 7800 Hz or so.
Yes I don't think the N9 had wideband either. As far as I can recall the N7 2012 didn't have HFP profile either as I remember it driving me nuts that I couldn't use a Bluetooth headset on it to make voip calls.
I went ahead and opened a thread on the Google product support for the pixel c and it has been escalated. Let's see what comes back and if they intend to enable HFP on this device or not.

I don't believe the Nexus 7s or the Nexus 9 have HFP support (low or wide). I can confirm the Nexus 9 doesn't, I couldn't use my bluetooth headset for voip calls via Hangouts. Here's Google's table with Bluetooth profiles:

I can confirm that the table is correct about the Nexus 10, I used Plumble and Hangouts perfectly with the same Bluetooth headset as I used above for calls.

That table is wrong. I can 100% confirm that the Nexus 9 and Nexus 7 2013 did have hands free support. The Nexus 7 2012 did not.

I'll have to check my Nexus 9 with Plumble + Bluetooth then, only used it with Hangouts video chat and it worked great, but Hangouts Dialer calls to a phone number wouldn't work with my bluetooth headset.
Anyone here with the Pixel C on the latest developer preview? Can you confirm if they added Bluetooth headset support (hands-free profile)?
How can one check, which Codecs are used over Buetooth ?
On my Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite I can somehow enable under Developper Mode the APT-X and LDAC Codecs,
but how can I test it, if it being used e.g. in Skype for Android or other Voice Applications ?
My Blootooth Stereo Headset has Apt-X , but during Skype calls or a Wireless Video Recorder app, it still uses only the 8 Khz SBC bad audio codecs...
Any idea how I can test it and how to enable the Wideband Audio Codecs ?
Many thanks.
Regards., Stefan.
It has to support mSBC for handset:

An app like Bluetooth Monitor might show more info about the actual connection.
