Bluetooth GPS & Internet at the same time. - Samsung Galaxy Gear

Ok Gear owners. Who of you that DOES NOT have native Bluetooth Internet Tethering, have you been able to get both a GPS receiver and Internet receiver to work at the same time?
I have a Note 3 (T-Mobile) and I can only connect Internet or Bluetooth. not both at the same time.
I have tried several Bluetooth GPS services on my phone, but none of them will let the gear connect at the same time I have PdaNet+ running.
I have PdaNet+ & ShareGPS running on my phone
I have BlueGPS & PdaNet Tablet on the gear
Running (Null_9)
Also what map program are you running on the gear? does it provide audio navigation?

He/she observed that only 3 parallel Bluetooth connectionw are possible with the Gear. Pretty weird limitation. I planned to confirm (falsify) it but forgot to do so. The limitation could explain your issue.

kindle fire hd bluetooth gps

does anyone know if we can put a bluetooth gps receiver for the kindle fire hd?
Well, I can tell you that the TomTom MKii will not pair with the Fire HD. I just got one yesterday and found out the hard way.
I get this error message:
Cannot connect
The bluetooth device is not compatible with
this Kindle. Please pair with a SUPPORTED
Bluetooth stereo headset, speaker, keyboard
or source device.
Not only that, but the app needed to make it work will not even install, much less run.
I got it from Amazon, and believe me, they heard an earful about it today on the phone.
question
Would it be possible to make a hack to enable spp bluetooth profile on KFHD. Because the tomtom bluetooth gps receiver uses that profile.
I have to completely agree with drhanley i wish i could have at least bluetooth gps on the kindle fire hd.
Drhanley have you seen in the android market bluetooth spp app make an app from the market could enable the spp profile needed for tomtom gps receiver ????????

i am new to the whole bluetooth profiles, i search the app store for an app that would allow spp profile but i am not sure.
i been looking at this app BluePair - Bluetooth SPP but i am not sure if it will work
app description
"if your mobile phone doesn't support Bluetooth SPP Class 0 device discovery, then this software is for you. With BluePair SPP software installed, your phone shall be enabled to pair with these devices. eg.Disto D8 laser distance meter This software does not look for devices automatically. Software usage: Enter MAC address in the Edit Box. MAC address is labelled on the device usually under the batteries (DISTO D8) or on the back of the device. This software is needed only when third party software is unable to pair your phone with remote Bluetooth SPP device. I tested this code with Samsung Galaxy Fit Android Gingerbread 2.33 mobile phone and Leica Disto D8 laser distance meter. If you have queries or suggestions please leave a message at http://libella.com.au/android"
i need to buy the tom tom gps
I tried the BluePair on my KFHD rooted and it paired with my BT GPS just fine using the MAC address, but it would not connect. When trying to connect I got a Javaexception IO error and that was it....

[Q] GPS Nav & Maps Loses GPS

GPS Nav & Maps Loses GPS connection (using BlueGPS on GEAR, ShareGPS on Phone) the moment you use 'navigate' to a specific POI.
Is this working for any of you? Seems to be the case even when Bluetooth Internet Tethering is off.

Option 2 dude
Yep, same result. I think GPS Nav & Maps offline edition, takes so much memory that it pushes the other back ground apps out.
What do you use for gps map?

Android Auto for maps and Spotify, iPhone for calls

Hi, is there a chance to use two phones at the same time? Every day I use the iPhone, but I would like to be able to use Google Maps on the Discovery Pro screen in a VW Passat. Is it possible to connect an Android phone with Android Auto, which will display Google maps to me, at the same time be connected via bluetooth from the iPhone to be able to call from it? I am currently using MirrorLink, but this service works very poorly and slowly. Apple CarPlay is not an option, their maps are miserable. Thanks for help.
Ok, no one wrote back, but I found a solution.
I have Xperia Z5 Compact, on which I made root.
I have permanently turned off the Bluetooth sharing service. After installing Android Auto, I went through all the configuration steps. The service started working on the car screen without disconnecting the connected iPhone X via bluetooth.
The sound and picture are sent via a usb cable. When someone calls the music pauses, and when the conversation ends it plays again. It is a perfect combination if CarPlay is not enough, and we don't want to stop using the iPhone.
Thx for the interesting post and especially to come back with a solution. A real strange thing that people actually do follow ups.
I am also interested in this. Having multiple phones I would leave 1 in the car just for Android Auto and the other one just as a phone. If Android wireless was active the use for me would be a bit less needy.
What some people forget is that your phone barely charges if you use Android Auto and that would make it better for me to really charge my other phone while driving. During Android Auto and connected to the USB of the car the phone is in data mode and will probably only output like 400 to 500mA . This is barely enough to keep the charge.
The S7 that I have goes to about 1.9 Amp(so 1900mA) when charging on a non QC charger so after lets say an hours drive it gets more than enough juice to keep you going.

I installed the Root Essentials app from Google Play and found the "Bluetooth Sharing" service in the Memory / Application Manager tab and turned it off. From the normal application settings, this can not be done. Thanks to this, the sound and image from Android Auto is transmitted via USB, and my iPhone is connected via bluetooth for calls.

No joy unfortunately... Is it related to the usage of AA and not mirror link ?

The steps I have described have helped in the operation of AA, so that the car does not disconnect my Bluetooth-connected iPhone. When I used MirrorLink, my iphone was not disconnected and I could use both phones without any modifications.
In my case, I turned off bluetooth first and then I installed and configured Android Auto with my car. As a result, the iPhone was not disconnected which made me happy. I would also like to add that the procedure was performed on the Discover Pro radio in the Passat B8 with the App-Connect service.

I did try almost every configurations ... I erased previous telephone settings in head unit to start with a clean install. BT has been disabled on tablet (the one dedicated to AA). As soon as the tablet is connected through USB, the phone is deconnected from head unit, and the reason given is that BT is already engaged by another unit (the tablet 0-o). I did a hard reset of the tablet. No joy either... I don't know what to do next. I should stress the fact that AA is installed from APK, as the tablet is not eligible for having AA.

In Volkswagen cars, Android Auto connects via USB, however the phone connection is connected via bluetooth. Maybe your car is configured differently with AA. I also downloaded AA from the apk file.
Can your car simultaneously handle two phones connected by bluetooth? It is possible in the Passat. Maybe there is a problem here.

That needs to be checked for sure, but I still cannot understand why, with BT completely removed from tablet, Head unit still maintains a kind-of BT link with it, thus disconnecting the phone ... It appears like once AA is running on tablet, all other BT connections are killed.
Not working for me! Please help

Hi Pixege,
I have the exact same setup (Sony Xperia Z5 ROOTED + iPhone + VW Discover Pro on new Tiguan) and followed your instructions here but no luck.
Here's what I've done.
1. Made sure there is no pre-existing bluetooth pairing between Xperia and Discover Pro) - I reset the Discover Pro just to be sure
2. Paired iPhone with Discover Pro (this is the phone I want to keep connected via bluetooth for calls, etc.)
2. Permanently disable bluetooth sharing on Xperia using Root + App
3. Installed Android Auto on Xperia and connected device to Discover Pro - AA now works fine
This still caused the iPhone to be disconnected from bluetooth... when connected via AA, no other connection is allowed.
Did you do anything different from the steps above as it didn't work for me.
Thanks for helping out.

use 2nd phone for Android Auto
I was able to root my LG V35 and turn off all BT using Link2SD. Now my old V35 is plugged into my car's USB in the center console and my new S20+ connects to the car on BT for calls. It took a lot of effort, but thanks to all the tips posted here, I was able to make it happen. Rooting the V35 was the hard part. Getting the boat loader to unlock took a lot and I bricked the phone twice trying. But rooting after that was somewhat easy, though frankly, I'm not sure how I did it exactly. I was able to unlock the boot loader using the instructions here, step 1 and 2. Though somehow, I bricked the phone (for a 2nd time) trying to get through step 3. I was able to get it to go into fastboot mode and I flashed the boot with an img that was labeled twrp and magist 7.5. I wish I could remember where I got that image from, but after that, magist was installed on the phone and a few clicks later, suddenly it was rooted. Then disabling BT with Link2SD only took a minute.
GREAT post - THANK YOU!!
I have a Note 20 Ultra and a 2020 Tiguan SE, and my 2 issues are (were):
1. I hated connecting and disconnecting the phone to cable for every damn time you enter the car.
2. Since I am spending a lot of time in the car, not necessary driving - I wanted more. Especially Video.
Knowing that AA uses BT and automatically pairing every devices it connected, I though to go to iOS, and get a cheap Iphone to run Carplay, while my Note will stay on BT.
The idea of disabling BT from system after root never crossed my mind. So once seeing that post, I ordered from Amazon a Pixel XL, rooted it and removed all the un-necessary crap out of it, disabled all APKs and services using BT - and it works like a charm.
I have my Note in and out from the car with me, working on BT, and the rooted Pixel juts sits in the car connected with the wire.
Thank you!

Hi,
Not anything in particle, where are you stuck?
I just used any of "app disabler" app from Google Play and freeze every service you find for BT.
Other then that, once in car, make sure your phone is up and running the BT connection, before you plug the secondary device into the wired AA connection.
Good Luck.

Hi,
That's what I did.
I don't know why it doesn't work for me.
Have tried them all before.
New ROM, Call function disabled, Android Auto function disabled.
I don't know...
Maybe it's because of the VW firmware?

I have a 2020 VW Tiguan SE (USA) if it helps.
Rooted with Magisk
I used "link2sd" and "servicedisabler" apps to do it, but their are plenty others out there who will do the same.
The 2 BT services I disabled in the Pixel XL which is connected now to AA by wire are:
com.androind.bluetooth
com.androind.bluetoothmidiservice
And once again, be sure to be paired and connected with your phone ti BT, before connecting the other device to the wired AA.

How to cancel bluetooth to use two phones in Android car

I wanted to share how to solve the problem of using bluetooth on a second phone having another mobile already connected to Android car.
The easiest solution would be to use a duplicate of the Sim card, but in my case my telephone company does not have that service and cannot be hired.
As you know, at the moment that a mobile phone connects to Android car, it no longer allows us to pair a second phone and use it to make calls via bluetooth, forcing us if we want to make calls to use the one that is connected by USB to Android car.
Well, using an application we can disable the sharing services by bluetooh and thus be able to use the 2nd phone. The negative part is that it is necessary that the mobile is broken.
The name of the application is: Service Disabler https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kunkunsoft.rootservicedisabler&hl=en
“IT DOES NOT HAVE THE PHONE WITH ROOT”
To deactivate all the services of sharing via bluetooth is easy, we open the application and type the word bluetooth in the search area and it will already be in the list, and now it is just click on it and we will leave the option to deactivate everything.
From this moment on, all audio from the connected phone will be through USB.

This isn't really an Android Auto issue. But I understand a workaround may be useful if you have a headunit with this limitation.
How many phones can be connected depends on the headunit. My Kenwood will allow two phones to be connected and both can answer and make calls. Usually, I have my Pixel connected via AA, and my wife's iPhone will connect via Bluetooth at the same time. I can even select Bluetooth on the headunit and play music from the iPhone. In fact, although only two phones can be connected for calls, it will allow up to 5 phones to be connected at the same time for music (I've never tried that many, though).

Most cars have this problem. I think is very useful, i will implement it. It may be easiest solution. Phone has root to work mirroring so, probably with freeze bluetooth with titanium, could have the same, but havent try it yet..

Issue with Spotify on wireless AA

Hi.
I got a new car yesterday - Hyundai i20 - and it's my first experience of wireless Android Auto. I've got it working OK but I cannot get Spotify to actually play anything. I can select a track and it appears as playing but nothing actually happens. Work's fine when wired. Any suggestions? Thanks
I've worked out that this is because my phone is connected to the car Wi-Fi and Spotify is trying to access the internet through this but it does not have internet access. Blocking Spotify from accessing Wi-Fi solved this but I need to figure out a way of blocking only the car Wi-Fi.
You can just configure to use mobile data when the wi-fi doesn't have access to internet, its quite easy
I've done this but it doesn't work 100%. Mostly ok but not always, maybe due to my LTE coverage
Or you can enable similar thing in android dev. settings, to keep the mobile data active while on wifi
