One of my friends with an iPhone showed me how a battery level meter is next to the bluetooth symbol when his headset is connected(new feature in iOS5 from what I found online). He was also using a cheap Motorola headset too. Is there an app or widget that does the same thing on Android?

if it was possible to route audio files from the phone to a bluetooth headset on versions of Android API Level 7 and under (so versions older than the new Froyo) If so, do you know of any sample code I could look at to figure out how to do this? Or perhaps just point me in the right direction?

It's take the form of a widget with a on/off switch. The apps is at 1� (I need the money to set a humanity project in Madagascar, so, it's will probably became free later). It's work on HTC Desire 2.2, and maybe on others devices. Please, report if so QR Code...

Is this a know issue with CM7.1?
A friend wanted to know if he could use his android tablet as a headset, and after some searching it looks like quite a few people would like this.
So I was sondering if this is possible, I am new to Android development and I have been playing around with the Bluetooth samples and cannot seem to figure out how to make other devices see Android as a headset.
So my main question is- Is it possible to make a app that would disguise an android device as a headset so it could receive calls and maybe even dial number?
I would like to clarify if this is even possible with the Android SDK
The main use if i make this app is for people who can't afford the data plan that is required when buying a smartphone from a carrier. So if this person has a small android MID they can pair it with their dumb phone and essentially use their MID as a phone.
I've already connected different bluetooth things to my TF201 (with CM, so it's 4.3.1), but am not able to connect my bluetooth headset to it. The tablet just doesn't see the device. (I already had this problem before I installed CM). Is there something I could change in order to make it visible to the tablet. Most people issues around this is that they don't pair when the device is visible. (I assume that it is not related to the CM)

View 1 Replies View RelatedBasically my Samsung Galaxy S2 gives me unlimited calls to mobiles/landlines and I want to make A LOT of calls throughout the day. I have a plantronics pro uc bluetooth headset which syncs up with my phone. I can send SMS and remote access the phone (too slow and clunky to make calls fast and simply).
What I want to be able to do is dial a number from my computer and my phone start call it. Essentially just want the phone on my computer. Paste a number in/dial it etc... click a link and the app/whatever call it.
(P.s. a remote desktop is not the solution as it is too slow - I tried that with MyMobiler. I have a skype number and can pay a small fee for unlimited landline calls but would have to pay for mobiles so this isnt a solution either).
Is there anyway to use an Android phone as a bluetooth headset for the Galaxy Tab (or any Android tablet for that matter)? im planning on getting T-Mobile's prepaid Android 2.2 phone and i want to keep my minute usage down by using Google Voice on the tablet. And since they both have bluetooth capabilities it should be possible to use it in this manner, right? I do not want to use one of those hideous, uncomfortable bluetooth headsets because im already going to have a bluetooth device (the phone) with me that im more comfortable using. Is there any way to do this or an app that enables this functionality?

View 3 Replies View Relatedis there any app that allows you to "turn" a wired headset to a bluetooth one via android?
You might think to connect an android smartphone to a normal wired headset (such as those supplied with most phones) and to exploit its bluetooth connection to use it on pc/consoles/... Do you think that it is possible?
Is there any application or way to customize the actions performed when the headset button is pressed?
I use Tasker for various automated things, but looks like there's nothing there (did I miss something?).
Specifically, this is the button on a bluetooth headset that would normally start the voice dialer -- I'd like it to do something different, perhaps. I know that the button's "command" can be intercepted by some applications, because I know that Vlingo, when installed, becomes an option of an application that would "handle" the bluetooth button press (i.e. when I press it, it pops up a window for "which application do you want to use for this").
Unfortunately, Vlingo just uses this to launch its own voice dialer... If it matters, I'm using the Galaxy Nexus on ICS.
I've been having issues with bluetooth headset dropout during a call. Pairing is never an issue, and the bluetooth connection is solid outside of a call, but during a call the bluetooth may drop out without warning. This means that while I'm talking to someone, there is no audible noise or visual cue that the connection has dropped and has defaulted back to the phone, and thus I'm relegated to a "hello? hello?" query before I check the handset and find out the caller was asking the same thing to my pocket (which also shows the devices are never more than, say 1.5m apart maximum when this happens).
As far as the phone is concerned, it's still 'connected' to bluetooth, as indicated in the dialer, and somehow isn't aware the connection has been dropped (or is and isn't showing). I thus need to redirect the audio via the UI either to the handset or speakerphone (away from the bluetooth connection it still think it's on), wait for the reroute to register, then redirect once again to the bluetooth to reestablish the connection. Again, without any audio cues the caller magically appears again on the headset, and we play the whole dropout game all over again. Connection duration seems arbitrary, lasting anywhere from 10s to a tens of minutes (with a 2-3 minutes on average).
This isn't isolated to any particular hardware, as I have had this occur on every one of my phones (Nexus S @ Android 3.x, stock and custom; Meizu MX @ Android 3.x - 4.x AOSP, OEM stock, and custom; HTC One @ Android 4.2.x - 4.3, stock only) and across all the headsets I've tried (Plantronics Discovery 925, LG HBM-585, Motorola H790), with Android being the common denominator. Note, I have used a Plantronics Discovery 655 and the same Plantronics Discovery 925 headset on my Nokia 8800 in the yesteryears, and have NEVER had connection or dropout issues.
I have a Galaxy Note 2 and can't figure out how to record via my bluetooth headset not via the phone mic. Tried 20+ apps that record great via the phone mic but not via my headset.

I have a friend with a Windows phone who can listen to and reply to text messages as well as initiate calls through his bluetooth headset without touching the phone. It's very very cool, and I don't know that my Android has an answer to it. I would love to be able to do this on my Android and to use Evi through my bluetooth device. I have FlexT9 from Nuance, but it seems to require that I speak into the phone's microphone, as does Evi.
I have a rooted HTC Thunderbolt running das Bamf (don't remember the version) and a Plantronics Voyager Pro headset (same headset my friend with the Windows phone uses to control his phone).
I know this might be a silly question and probably not usefull to many but i am trying to connect audio out via bluetooth and out the headset jack at the same time

Is there anyway to get these tablets to recognize when the bluetooth button on the bluetooth devices is pressed? I notice in the menu in settings for each bluetooth device that there is only the option for "use for media audio" and not "use for call audio." If this is the reason is there anyway to modify jelly bean 4.2 to add the use for call audio option?

I have only had my Hero for a couple of weeks and am generally happy with it, but this issue is really, really bothering me. I dont know if it is an android OS issue (there are no settings I can find to overcome this problem, and My old HTC Touch HD also made by HTC did not have this problem). When listening to music via the headphones, the phone MUST automatically reduce the volume of the incoming call and notification ring sounds. It is dangerous for healthy hearing! Seriously, my phone is almost always set to full volume throughout the day, but when I plug my headphones in, and am listening to music, when the phone rings the ringing is UNBELIEVABLY loud and has frightened me out of my wits a number of times. My Touch HD used to automatically reduce the ringing and notification sounds when headphones were plugged in. Perhaps Android OS is not capable of this? I am curious to know, and would buy an app which could overcome this problem.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI really struggle when using my phone with my bluetooth headset as the audio level is so much lower than all my previous Sony Ericsson phones. I have made sure all the volume levels are at max on the X10 itself, and on the headset itself, but still the audio level is very low. The transmitted audio is fine, and the person I am speaking to never has a problem hearing me, but I really struggle to hear them. Is this a known problem that Sony Ericsson are aware of? Are there any fixes I can apply? I have downloaded a number of different volume apps from the market place, but not found any that seem to be able to increase the volume.
