Hi can anyone tell me if the Nokia 7 plus has Bluetooth low energy enabled? I've checked my phone with ble checker and it's compatible.
The new android 10 update is supposed to allow cochlear implant processors stream directly. But I can't connect at all, is there a 'switch' that needs enabling,?

As far as I know, you can't connect other thing than headset with windows phone 8. :crying:
Audio profiles work, file Transfer via OBEX Object Push works and Apps can implement their own Bluetooth functionality but this is only available for that App. To my knowledge Runtastic supports their Pulse Belts.

I have an inquiry made to Samsung about it. No answer yet. We connect a Plantronics Savi W200 to the phone and it works.. Why does the phone recognizes the keyboard, starts normal connection and after the full run starts over with connecting.. over and over Just not to understand
Here the answer from Samsung to my inquiries
Yes our Ativ machine does support bluetooth keyboards but you would need to contact the actual manufacturer of the keyboard you chose first to verifiy compatability as we do not have access to all suitable keyboards
I think either you asked incorrectly or they responded incorrectly, because the Ativ line is used for Windows 8 / Windows RT devices as well as Windows Phone 8 ones. It sounds like the response concerns W8/WRT, not WP8. Boo...
It was clearly asked for the Ativ S WP 8 - several emails have been going back and forth until the quoted answer came
It seems you are right, the answer is incorrect. I bought the IKKB10 keyboard which should be compatible, but the same as before, connect/disconnect cycles. Send an inquiry to the manufacturer.
Finally the answer from Microsoft - no Keyboard at all It read
Windows Phone 8 supports Bluetooth 3.1. This is an improved version of Bluetooth that automates the pairing process between Windows Phone 8 and Bluetooth devices, such as phone headsets, car audio systems, speaker docks, & NFC pairing.
Windows Phone 8 supports the following Bluetooth user profiles:
•Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP 1.2)
•Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP 1.4)
•Hands Free Profile (HFP 1.5)
•Phone Book Access Profile (PBAP 1.1)
•Object Push Profile (OPP 1.1)
•Out of Band (OOB) & Near Field Communications (NFC)
The Bluetooth HID (Human Interface) profile required to support keyboards and other input peripherals is not present in the Windows Phone 8 Bluetooth stack - this has been the case since Windows Phone 7.
We can complain by MS, does it help, probably not...
Hello, my curiosity of the Chromecast take me to this website:
http://asia.cnet.com/google-chromecast-supports-bluetooth-62221903.htm
Accord to this article the Chromecast supports Bluetooth 3.0, then my question is, why we cant play some local music in Google Play Music for listen on the TV?
Probablly is disable this tecnology but I know this comunity could do the work for add this function.

I didn't look at the article but to answer your question most wifi chips now are made with bluetooth and sometimes FM radio option. Bluetooth as of now is not used on this chip/device.

if we dont ever end up seeing bluetooth active on this it might even be because its physically disabled inside the chip via the manufacturer so even with device drivers on the unit it wouldn't be able to use it.. its happened before sort of a method to ensure that nobody uses something that needs to have a licensing paid for to an organisation or another company.. does Bluetooth 3.0 need to have a license paid per X# devices?
anyways random thought.. who knows maybe it is enabled and an update in 6 months will see it active on the devices via an update.
Yeah, I don't know if there are specific licensing fees but there are licensing restrictions that require an agreement with the Bluetooth SIG to enable Bluetooth in your device.
Either way, this should ultimately be possible through WiFi which would give you much better audio quality. It's just that none of the Android apps support streaming content directly from the device (yet).
Since the Z1 supports Bluetooth 4.0, therefore following the Android 4.3 update - does The Xperia Z1 now support Bluetooth Smart?

OK, so I borrowed a Beets BLU Bluetooth Smart Heart rate monitor and it would see the device in the available devices list occasionally (1 out of 4) but would not pair, I also borrowed a Garmin Premium HRM (ANT+) and could not get that to connect at all.
I could of course be doing something completely wrong especially with the ANT+ device as I can find no instructions on home to pair the device
instructions or help with either?

You might just have be having the typical 290 issues with Bluetooth where devices can't pair. Maybe someone else will chime in with more feedback, but I don't have any BLE devices to test.
Ok So I managed to get the ANT+ device to work by installing ANT Radio Service & ANT+ Plugins from the play store following guidance from this website
http://www.thisisant.com/consumer/ant-101/ant-in-phones/
Which was really helpful, especially as the Z1 is slated as being ANT+ native supporting but still needs additional software drivers installed, but there is nothing on Sony's documentation to drive you to this conclusion.
As for the Bluetooth 4.0/Bluetooth Smart device still no joy - Anybody any further ideas or is it just a case of waiting for a bug fix?
Install BLE Heart Rate Monitor from store. In the settings pair with your HRM. Don't try and pair through phone bluetooth settings. Bluetooth smart isn't designed to be paired like this apparently.

Thanks for the info - partially works, connects but drops the connection routinely even after refreshing the Bluetooth system , as suggested by the app - probably needs a bug fix
This happens sometimes unfortunately. I had no problems on my Nexus 4.
I would like to understand whether it's possible to activate bluetooth 4 and bluetooth "classic" individually. The background: I want to use a bluetooth 4 tag in combination with tasker to automate certain things once the tag is within reach. I got a Texas Instruments SensorTag which is recognized by the Z1 and can be accessed via the TI software. Tasker is currently being improved to play with BT4 devices. The issue is that there is just a single bluetooth switch within Android, but of course I want to avoid the power hungry classic bluetooth and use bluetooth instead.
Any ideas if there is a solution? Maybe via an Xposed module?
Cheers,
Torsten

It is already BT 4.0 as long as device you use has it too, no further activation needed. If you try to use it with device that has older version like BT 2.1 functionality of BT 4.0 will be downscaled to work with older version.

Many thanks! This sounds good! To be fully sure: once a BT2.1 device disconnects, BT falls "back" to 4.0? The longer I think about it I wonder whether it really makes a difference if a phone waiting for a connection is using BT2.1 or BT4.0. Do the 4.0 improvements have an effect on the power consumption before the connection is established?

It is more like imposed limits by older version go away. Power consumption in BT 4.0 is more like: little power used to connect, pair and then it uses more power when large amount of information needs to be transferred (like opening higher bandwidth based on Wi-Fi that uses more power for shorter period of time). While discovering device awaits connection it consumes very little of battery on either 2.1 or 4.0. from what I can see versions of BT evolve in added functionality that is based mainly on transfer rate as well as better power management.

So it was announced today at Google I/O that Android Auto is going to be updated soon to be able to function over Wi-Fi. My 2015 Hyundai Sonata has a Wi-Fi connection. I can connect to any hotspot that I want. So, my question is do you think that the automaker will actually have to support this functionality and make some change in the car or is this all done on Google's side? Obviously, if the car maker has to make a change to support this then I'm guessing it is highly unlikely that existing car models will be updated to support this.
i wonder how it will impact audio quality
Hi,
I was wondering if it could be possible to port a feature from Samsung that allows multiple Bluetooth devices to be connected to the same phone? I don't know if this is something that already is implemented in Pie? Developer options show 'maximum connected Bluetooth devices: 5', so maybe there's something I'm missing?
That's a feature of Bluetooth 5.0. Not sure you can add support for a different Bluetooth version like this at all. Look at the Bluetooth version your phone supports.

Yes it has Bluetooth 5.0. I'll dig into it. Thank You for Your answer!
Ok so the device has to have the dual audio feature currently on Galaxy s8.
And the peripherals have to be 5.0 as well. So, no dice yet for me.
Someone has made a library:
