Bluetooth

I know by default the stock rom doesn't support bluetooth, but is the hardware actually onboard and disabled, or not there at all?

I am wondering this as well...it would open up a lot of possibilities for the nook, such as a bluetooth keyboard...or even using it for Skype with a bluetooth headset...

BT reference in the B&N kernel sources
Hi,
I think it could be enable
In the kernel sources we can notice this :
gpio_direction_output(WL127X_BTEN_GPIO, 1);
Maybe it is the GPIO for BT enable
We just have to dig for the UART connection.
I think it's just a problem of BT licence.
Cheers Occip

Is there even a bluetooth chip / antenna in the NookColor? I did not see any on the tear down.

CM7 CM9 Bluetooth Audio and camera/video issues

Hey all,
I'm kinda confused cauz I read various postings. Anyone of the pro's here can tell me if BluetoothAudio and camera/video work 100% on CM7 ? I know it won't on CM9, but how about CM7 ?
I am looking for a custom ROM to install on my Droid3 which support my camera/video as well as BT Audio, cause I'm listening lots of music inside my car.

This is the second topic you've made a post in development that had NOTHING to do with developing. General is the place for all posts that are not about releases, ports, etc. I assure you that people read General and that your question would be answered there.
To answer your question, CM7 is quite stable. I have not done extensive bluetooth testing, but camera works perfectly if you download a software camera such as cam360 or Camera Zoom FX.

The camera works on CM9 just not the video camera because of no hardware codecs yet. As far as BT goes I think they got most of it ironed out for CM9.

As far as I know, the Bluetooth works just fine while you're using it. The problem occurs when it's turned on but not in use, the audio to other things, such as calls and ringtones doesn't work. I've used a bluetooth headset with it many times and never had any issues with the actual bt functionality.

Guys he said cm7

Last I saw, CM7 camera/video and bluetooth had the same issues as CM9. Hashcode was the only one I know of that did work on CM7 for D3 as well and he stopped development for that to work on CM9. So the CM7 camera does not work (correct me if I'm wrong), video definitely not. But bluetooth should work.

Hello again,
just wanted to add as feedback, that I flashed CM9 solana and Camera works with CameraFX Pro App, as well as Bluetooth Audio in my car. I can listen to my music which is played on my Droid3 through car audio. I also can make phone calls through Bluetooth audio in my car with no quality issues. Great! Video does not work as known for CM9 due to missing hw codecs.

So you're saying the Bluetooth works but what about the issue when it is on and not connected? I leave it on all the time since I use it in the car, but not anywhere else. Does the sound still die on that release when on and not connected?

thats right.I have to add that I had experience another issue.Bluetooth Audio for listening to my Music from my Droid3 in my car works great.But I have very bad phone call quality while using it via BT connected to my car.Sometimes it works,sometimes not.Even clean rebot and fresh BT reconnect to my car didnt help.I dunno how to reproduce this issue.Seems that theres reallly BT bugs active

EDIT: I've switched to Maverick 4.0 as BT is essential for me. Now I have BT audio and a working video cam, too. I can say, I really like Mav 4.0, looks good till now. Hope I will keep satisfied.. we'll see

[Q]Best JB Rom with working BT? (or alternative CM9)

Hey guys, ive been running CM9 on my touchpad for ages but want to move to a JB rom. Im going to be using my Touchpad as a media device for outdoor speakers i have in my patio so i can walk around and change music as need be (instead of having to go inside where the receiver is to change music then go back outside). I was looking for improved roms with better battery life maybe and especially working bluetooth with A2DP. Are there are any JB roms that fit the bill? Some googling turns up Jscullins roms, but i was reading he was only doing it as an experiment and figured his BT fixes would be included in more (and possibly better) roms. Something stable with decent battery life and working BT with A2DP is what im after. Any suggestions? Thanks folks.
also, if there is nothing that fits the bill what would be the best CM9 ROM that does? I have noticed that my current CM9 build has an annoying issue with the touchscreen where if im scrolling around and let go, sometimes it registers that as a tap/click. My girlfriend hates it. A smooth CM9 build with good battery life, good working A2DP BT for music streaming, touch issues fixed (which i heard of for CM9 builds so thats why i mention it), and stable would be awesome.

Well I am running JC Sullins 0808 CM10.1 (4.2.2) ROM, and this is working well with BT keyboard and mouse. I did sync it to the car for BT Audio and that worked fine on the 5-10 minutes I used it, not tested audio over BT for any longer than that.
Generally the ROM has been stable, and am happy with it. I hope his fixes make it back into the dailies/weeklies, but we'll see, been a while now.
I did a complete wipe and start again on the device to get it working, and so far very happy with 10.1. I also am starting to use BT Audio more and more, so BT is important to me.

[Q] Bluetooth woes (ME57C/CL)

I have both a ME57C and ME572CL, running 5.0.1 WW, and they exhibit the same problems with bluetooth, which seems to rule out a unit-specific problem.
1/ BT audio works fine in headphones mode (ie stereo listening only), quality wise, but fails as a headset on the audio-in front (tested with two different BT headsets, including a JABRA BT3030) : audio in comes garbled and clipping to the point of uselessness.
2/ Whenever BT is active, it seems to interfere with WiFi networking, leading to frequent drops and reduced throughput on WiFi connections (both TCP and UDP).
Other features of BT seem to work OK (file transfer, keyboard/mouse connectivity, etc) although I haven't tested those extensively.
Anyone with similar issues or clues as to fixing the problem(s) ?

Have you contacted ASUS to ask for support or at least to make a bug report?

Not yet : I'm asking here first to see if it's a non-official-yet-known issue (I couldn't find anything on the ASUS support resources), my experience being helpdesks work best when the users do their homework.

Miracast and Bluetooth lollipop aosp

In lollipop there is an option to cast screen in display settings with wireless display active, I have the m7spr ,in 5.0.2 cm12 it works almost flawless but some lag , I use a Bluetooth controller(Asus gamepad) to play games using miracast, something similar to the nexus player, but during use the Bluetooth stops working ,the controller stays connected but does not allow me to push anything from the control, the only way I have found to make it work is turn the Bluetooth off and on again and reconnect , is there anyway I can fix this as cm12.1 5.1.1 aosp ROMs the miracast is broken and 4.4.4 doesn't support many games ,it has to do with the Bluetooth activity system app as it does sometimes fc , so can anyone help me fix this or a rom that has no problems , and also somehow to improve performance when streaming the screen ,I'm using roku TV with miracast capable ,with 6M internet
