[Q] Simultaneous Blue tooth connections - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Team,
I have a Z1 with 4.4.2.
I ride a motorbike with on-board bluetooth and bluetooth enabled GPS. I also have a bluetooth headset.
I have an application on my phone called Garmin Smartphone Link that enhances the information on the GPS via bluetooth. I have just seen that the phone can handle simultaneous B/T connections so would I be able to connect the phone to the GPS (for Smartphone link) aas well as retain the main B/T connection between the phone and the headset?
Cheers

I've tried using a smartwatch with wireless headphones and a heartmonitor and it was too much for it, it lags and wasn't communicating well.
I can use smartwatch + HRM, didn't try SmartWatch + Heaphones, but it works well in my car with SmartWatch + A2DP audio.

How many Bluetooth devices can be handled by HTC TyTN II in *the same time*?

Hello
How many Bluetooth devices can be handled by HTC TyTN II in *the same time*?
To be more precise I’m wondering if my TyTN II can handle following configuration (3 Blouetooth functionalities / devices in the same time):
Device 1:
Internet sharing enabled in TyTN II. It means Bluetooth communication with my notebook.
Device 2:
Bluetooth stereo headphones (connected via Bluetooth to my TyTN II).
Device 3:
SonyEricsson MBW-150 bluetooth watch (connected via Bluetooth to my TyTN II) used to control Windows Media Player and to receive SMSes and voice calls.
Can someone confirm that such configuration can be handled by TyTN II?
Kind regards,
Adam Wozniak
If believe that I've read 'somewhere' that only two things can be done...
cant you connect the TyTn II to your notebook via USB

Nope
I hate cables (and I love wireless solutions).
btw:
I want to use my TyTN II (Internet Sharing) in my daily train (30 minutes in a single direction) when I am traveling to work (and back). Wired solutions are very uncomfortable in such places (no time to get wired everything together, there is no place to put something beside, etc.).
But, anyway, thank you (all) for replies!
Regards from Poland,
Adam

I have tried using a bluetooth headset, A2DP streaming and a bluetooth watch at the same time and they all connected but the music streaming was skipping and not working very well.
I guess it might work but depends on the bandwith of each BT device?
Hi
I will answer my question by myself
I've bought an A2DP Bluetooth stereo headphones (VEDIA SRS-210BG).
I would like to confirm that (for my TyTN II) using Internet Sharing and my A2DP Bluetooth headphones DOES NOT work properly
During activities on my Internet Sharing connection (via Bluetooth) communication with my A2DP stops and I can hear no music in headphones
Those music delays can take several seconds. It's absolutely not acceptable.
Kind regards,
Adam [Poland]

Hi benbranson
I don't get you
So how many Bluetooth devices you have connected to TyTN II in the same time? Three devices:
1. bluetooth headset
2. A2DP device
3. bluetooth watch
... or 2 devices (Bluetooth headset and A2DP device is the same one single device)?
btw:
Which bluetooth watch do you have?
btw II:
You tried this configuration on TyTN II or other smartphone model?
btw III:
You said, that [this your configuration] "not working very well". How long those music skips was? It was (or not) acceptable for you?
Regards && Smiles, Adam
The Tilt can handle more than 3 connections simultaneously - but they have to share available bandwidth.
Things like the watch, ICS and standard mono headset are relatively low bandwidth and buffered and can be used together, transmit things in turns, one waiting while the other transmits etc.
A2DP however is realtime and high-banwidth, so it pretty much needs to be used alone, it won't like sharing the bluetooth hardware with other things.
One thing you can try is instead of connecting the A2DP headset to the Tilt, connect it to the PC, and play music on the PC. Depending on the PC's BT hardware/software it might work well there.

Sony Ericsson MW600 Headset

Anybody here has tried to use the "Hi-Fi Wireless Headset with FM Radio MW600" with the Ameo?
My Ameo has the (German) HTC WM6.0 stock ROM but I want wo try a WM6.1 ROM. I want to make calls with the MW600 bluetooth headset, voice dialing and audio steaming. And caller-id on WM600 display would be very nice.
bluetooth disabled after pairing
Well, because nobody can (or want) to answer me, I had to test by myself.
The MW600 stereo bluetooth headset is a very nice gadget. With silver and white colors it looks very nice beside the Ameo (with has the same colors). The headset has two parts - a small controller with an oled display, some buttons and connectors and a good in-ear headset. The headset has very short wires but because you only have to connect it with the controller, it should be no problem. If you want another ear-phone you can connect every 3,5mm standard ear-phone.
The controller has buttons for on/off, call, play/pause, forward, backward and a volume slider. Pairing with the Athena was very easy, similar with other bluetooth headsets. The MW600 supports hands free and wireless stereo profile.
Once connected, the controller can pair the Arthena automatically - very nice.
With wireless stereo you can use the MW600 as a stereo ear-phone for music and videos. On CorePlayer you can control pause/play, forward, backward and skip over bluetooth and the controler can show the play time.
On incoming calls you see the phone number (not tested if caller-id/name is working) on the controller display. And you can use voice dial for making calls too.
The MW600 has a built-in RDS radio - very nice because the Athena has no radio.
Well... but there is a big issue.
After Athena and MW600 are paired, the Athena disables bluetooth after some seconds.
I have tried some ROMS like original HTC WM6, irus' AP4 vanilla or AGB 3.0. On HTC WM6 I can't use the call button on the controller too.
On a WM6.1 ROM bluetooth is disabled but not the blue led. I had to disable and enable bluettoh some times to reactivate it.
On AGB 3.0, led and bluetooth state are identical and I can reactivate bluetooth with one simple click. The headset pairs automaticly on enabled bluetooth but after 10 seconds, bluetooth is disabled again.
Well, if I'm fast enough to start CorePlayer, I can use the headset without problems as stero head-phone. If I have a call, I can use the headset without problems too. Very strange.
Now I have deactivated wireless stereo on bluetooth settings and the connection was stable for some hours.
I have a simple Jabra BT2080 bluetooth headset to, only useable for mono hands free connections. But this works great with the Athena, stable connection for more than 8 hours.

I able to pair this mw600 with my laptop and 2 phones(HTC Touch Pro2 and Sony Ericsson F305).
1) I can answer a call from SE F305 while on movie from laptop/FM/musci from HTC without any prob. The quality of this device SUPERB!!
2)The only prob is with HTC,I can't pair HTC with MW600 while on movie from laptop/FM/music from SE F305. I tried change many option and tweak but hopeless. Anyone have a solution for my problem?Or MW600 compatible multipoint with SE phones only?

[Q] Multiple bluetooth connections at one time?

I have a Nexus One paired with the motorola hd 9 earphones and I want to connect a bluetooth heartrate monitor at the same time while I train...can this be done or can I only use one at a time???

should be doable, but it depends on the app that accesses the heart-rate monitor as what type of device it's being addressed.
I know, because I use a BackBeat 903 headset for "phone" connection and a Motorola T505 for "Audio" connection, which pipes my music from my N1 into my car stereo via FM. When a call comes in, the Music stops/pauses and the N1 switches the call into my BT headset. After the call is done, the music continues via the T505/car-stereo.
According to bluetooth specs (if i recall right) Bluetooth can handle 7 devices at once/parallel connected
Thanks for the reply...

How to force A2DP over Wireless Android Auto?

Hi all,
I've been searching around and it seems there are many use cases for this, mine specifically is I have a cheap AA screen which I want to display Waze on, but I want the music/audio to go through the cars standard bluetooth stereo system.
When you connect to wireless android auto all audio is routed over wireless to that unit. Is there any way around this?
The unit I bought only has a terrible inbuilt speaker or FM transmitter for audio output, and the quality of both is awful.
Hi. I have the same problem
Short answer, No - Android Auto routes only phone calls over Bluetooth and all other audio is routed through WiFi or USB. This is by design.

Double devices in AA/Car.

Hello everyone,
I am looking for a solution to connect two phones in the car via Bluetooth at the same time.
I wonder if it depends on AA or on the car itself and its software.
I use AA cable in opel astra 19r. - works great.
A second phone would be enough for me to be able to connect via BT to handle calls. How to do it?
I mean that the connection of two phones should be simultaneous - that is, no matter which phone is ringing, the sound is heard through the loudspeakers in the car.
In the case of wireless headphones, the connection of two phones, a computer works without any problems - and the headphones "catch" on which device there is some action and switch to it.
Maybe someone found a way to do it? Any hints?
Hands free calling is only possible with one phone if you use Android Auto (regardless if wired or wireless).
On some cars there is the possibility to connect a second phone to listen to Bluetooth media (but this depends on the car).
I was also looking for a solution to connect two phones. In the end I gave up...
It's up to the car (or headunit).
