I was looking around the Blackberry Playbook and they have this technology or application that bridges the playbook with the bb phone that comes with it.

like if i want to text, instead of getting the phone the tablet will be used and recieve the text via the tab.
i hope you get what i mean..

Has anyone had success pairing their Galaxy Tab to any bluetooth device using the Serial Port Profile? Description of woes below...
Alright, I went into buying the Verizon Galaxy Tab understanding a somewhat nerfed bluetooth stack, I have intentions on trying to correct this later, but for the time being it doesn't really bother me all that much. I found this page prior to purchasing: http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...=2&PROD_SUB_ID=2076&PROD_ID=2083&AT_ID=346816 which outlines that it does in fact support SPP (Serial Port Profile). I got all excited about this, ordered up a BlueSmirf from sparkfun and set out to make a based device for all my electrical engineering serial monitoring needs. I'm sitting here with my shiny red box of parts, and I decided to make sure the BlueSmirf module worked. I powered it up on a bench supply and after RTFM and a couple of Doh moments I had it sucking down 0.030A, happy days. So then I tried to connect to it with my Galaxy Tab... which failed, miserably, I can't even find the device. My Droid 1 connects like a champ, and the serial app I prototyped using the App Inventor hums right along, sending and recieving serial data like its supposed to. A little more investigation (and this may be indicative of an issue on the BlueSmirf end) shows that every time my Galaxy Tab scans for Bluetooth devices the power usage on my bluetooth module drops to 0A. This is my first go with bluetooth (I've worked with ~900mhz rf before and GPS) so I'm not wholly sure what to make of this.
Did you ever get this figured out? I was hoping that it could be done easily via app inventor and a small script attached to a button to issue commands to an Arduino Uno.
What kind of range are you getting with that BlueSmirf? I am considering getting a Bluetooth Mate Gold for a robotics project of mine. I want to communicate using my T-Mobile G2 and also maybe a tablet.
Any help you can offer I would greatly appreciate!

the ec02 update for verizon moved bt support to the HID stack.
you can find the old, dj11 files, which support the SPP stack, in a sticky in the dev section, i believe.
I've been trying to get an older (2007?) version of a BlueSMiRF to pair/connect with my Vibrant running Bionix-v 1.3.1 with absolutely no success. The Vibrant doesn't even see the BlueSMiRF during a Scan for devices. My MacBook Pro pairs and communicates with the BlueSMIRF with no problems, and the Vibrant talks to the MacBook Pro and a Bluetooth headset with no issues.
Maybe there's an issue with Samsung's Bluetooth hardware or drivers?

Dear all,
First of all, great forum! Reading other people's posts helped me a lot to fix multiple problems.
Although I am not a big fan of starting threads myself, I am really stuck with this one. Long story short, I bought a generic no-name bluetooth keyboard for light gaming purposes while traveling.
The keyboard worked perfectly well straight from the box with my work MacBook Pro, with colleague's iPhone and with my Ubuntu netbook. Unfortunately, my Samsung Galaxy Mini didn't even "see" the device. My phone was running Gingerbread at that time (frankly, I was fine with it). Since I really wanted the keyboard to work, I decided to try out some roms. I have tried:
Cyanogenmod 7
CM 9
CM 10.1
CM 10.2
On each one of them, the phone would "see" the keyboard and pair with it, showing "connected to hid device" message, but it wouldn't actually allow me to type anything (suggesting that either the connection was immediately lost or these two devices are incompatible). I tried googling this problem and didn't find anything involving Samsung Galaxy Mini working with a bluetooth hid device. I've only found posts like this:
I recently bought a mini bluetooth keyboard that I have paired with my phone (Samsung Galaxy Mini) with no problems but I have no idea how to get the two to connect so I can use the keyboard. The keyboard works fine with my iPad, PS3, and macbook pro, just not my phone.

Such posts would typically not get any good replies. So, essentially, my question is whether there is any hope of making these two devices work. Or should I just stop trying?
Hope that somebody could help me.
Thanks for reading
Title kinda says it all...
I have the tab s2 mounted in my car, and I would love if my phone could be used as a remote or whatnot for my passengers to throw videos to my tab s2 (t-mobile edition) - is this a possibility? I've searched a lot and can't seem to find a way to do it.
It seems like it would be a no brainer, but I can't seem to find a solution. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Have you looked at this app or something similar? I've never used it, but it seems to address your problem.

Does the Tab S2 have NFC? You can use that to beam videos to the the Tablet, but it might be hard to do from the back seat...
check sidesync
it can do a screen sync from phone to tab and tab to laptop
It seems rather difficult to find exactly what I need, especially with the myriad of remote control type apps out there.
I have a Galaxy Tab S hanging in the back seat of my SUV for our toddlers, the tablet is not connected to any internet connection, when I take it into the house I'll download several videos on to the tablet, problem is, to change to another app with other videos requires you to get up out of the seat and reach way back, not only not safe but impractical.
Basically I want a remote controlling/mirroring app so that I can control the tablet from my Galaxy Note 8, perhaps through wifi direct or Bluetooth or something. Also, I CAN do mobile tethering but I would prefer not to l, as I have limited monthly data.
Side Note: My note 8 is not rooted, but the Galaxy Tab S is.
I currently use Android auto in my van via my Galaxy S22. The downside is the screen in the van is only 7" and I would prefer a larger one.
I have recently become aware that you can use a tablet for your in-car display. The problem is that the only Tablet with a suitable screen size is the A7 Lite which I think was a 8.9" screen. However after doing some research it appears that is the one Tablet that is no longer compatible with Android Auto.
My cunning plan was to use the Samsung flow to transfer my phone to my Tablet and then use it for Android Auto.
Can anyone kindly shine any light on this please
Regards
Gareth
It looks like Samsung has dropped Android Auto support on their newer tablets. I have an S7+ and had to sideload the Android Auto APK because it wasn't available thru the PlayStore. Installation went just fine but when I connect the tablet to my Pioneer head unit, the head unit reports a communication error. I also wasn't sure I wanted to leave such an expensive tablet in my car anyway, so I opted to buy the Aldocube iPlay 50 Pro ($179 on amazon) with the hope that it would work out of the box with my head unit. It worked perfectly out of the box and it also has a sim card slot in case you want to use it on cellular networks. I'm a cheap skate so I just use my phones WiFi hotspot whenever I'm driving to save money on another cellular plan just for the tablet.
