Can't connect to a Bluetooth earpiece

I've hired a developer to create an air app for me on Android. The app needs to record audio from, and send audio to, the user, ideally via a Bluetooth earpiece.  The developer tells me air doesn't support Bluetooth earpieces, which surprises me (he's gotten the app to work with a wired earpiece/mic). He's new to Android, though (I hired him for other expertise), so I just thought I'd double-check here.  Is a Bluetooth earpiece/air/Android app really that difficult?  If there's a way to do it, can someone give me some pointers to pass along?  Thanks.

He is partially correct. Whether the "built-in" headset of the device is used, a wired headset or a BlueTooth headset is chosen at Android system level, not at application level. If it works with a wired headset it should also work with a BlueTooth headset if the phone is configured correctly.
AIR 3.0 has some new functions that allow you to choose between headset & speaker, and to enumerate the microphones, but they may not be available on all devices. In any case, if your app already works with a wired headset these functions would be irrelevant.

    IPad2 can't connect ipod2 using bluetooth
    why? Can anyone tell the reason?

    For what purpose are you trying to connect the two?
    Bluetooth between iOS devices is limited to only specific peer-to-peer apps for specific functions (like mutiplayer games).
    You cannot just pair the devices, you need an app that specifically uses Bluetooth for communication.

  • No one can hear me through by bluetooth earpiece altho I can hear them

    I am a new user of a 9630 through Verizon V4.7.1.61 with a LG HBM - 570 bluetooth earpiece.  It has worked fine until today when suddenly I can hear callers but they can't hear me at all.  I would appreciate any help in getting this corrected.  thanks.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    A year ago a lot of people had problems on Verizon devices and I have seen some
    posts on this just lately. Try Green Key, menu key, options, enhanced audio set to automatic.
    On both my Storms it was disabled. I set it on my Storm 9530 but it didn't help.
    It does seem my Storm 9550 sounds better,I have a lot fewer complaints.
    Let us know how it goes!
    Thanks,

  • Iphone connection with generic bluetooth earpiece.

    I have an iphone 3G that I have recently updated with OS 3.0. I also have a generic bluetooth earpiece that worked perfectly prior to the OS update. Now it will not connect. It still connects easily to another phone(Nokia) so it is working. Nothing I have tried from deleting it and starting again to searching the 'net for help. Does anyone have any ideas??

    Hi
    have the same problem on OS 2.2 generic bluetooth headset worked after OS 3.0 update will not pair.
    The phone sees the headset but after entering the pin message says "could not pair" or "incorrect pin". Worked fine before snd now nothing. I'm not ready to spend £££ for a proper one from Apple store
    please help

  • Looking for a bluetooth headphone for my Macbook Air and Ipad Mini, I am not looking for a headphone that needs a transmitter to be connected to the source rather a headphone that can be connected directly via bluetooth to the source device

    I am desperately looking for a bluetooth headphone that would be compatible to my Macbook air and Ipad mini both. I am more of looking for a headphone that does not need a transmitter device to be connected to the source (in this case Macbook Air and Ipad Mini) and headphone acting as a receiver, rather need a headphone that would be connected directly via bluetooth to the source, it would be great if multiple apple devices be connected simultaneously. Please suggest some good headphones.

    Hey sorry for the late reply, I was busy to figure out alternatives as harman kardon was a difficult affair to find and acquire, but the good news is I managed to get hold of alternative.
    Sony I assume recently launched a Bluetooth headphone DR-BTN200 which is compatible to my MacBook Air , iPad mini and android phone galaxy s2 with ease, the sound quality is pretty good as compared to other brands of Bluetooth headphones I checked compatible or incompatible to apple devices alike, this is definitely what I was looking for, costed me 7990 INR, this is highly recommended for ppl who are confused, I carried my devices to the store and checked before I bought a pair and pretty much happy,
    The best part of this is its battery backup, I have used this hours for 3-5 days but this has not drain even then, but I do keep this charging once in 2-3 days just to keep this ready otherwise it does not even ask for it neither the quality of sound drops after 2-3 days of use.
    This is over the ear headphone which is very soft but it's get sweaty around the ear I guess that's bound to happen.
    Do get back to me for any other details, would be glad to share with all :)

  • I'm can't connect my apple bluetooth keyboard to my pc laptop

    I'm trying to connect my apple bluetooth keyboard to my pc laptop, but it fails saying "unknown error ...error code 0x80070015". It the says to contact the device manufactorer for assistance... any ideas out there?

    No. It came with my iMac when I bought it 1.5 years ago, but I had also bought the regular wired keyboard for the number keys. I just bought a PC laptop and am trying to match the Apple wireless keyboard with it. (The small size is perfect for the space I have available.) I did change the batteries, but I did notice that the green light showing it is on only stays on for about 15 seconds. Another thing is that most of the time my PC doesn't see it. I have managed to sinc the laptop with the iMac, so at least it doesn't seem to be an anti-Apple issue.

  • How can I connect to other bluetooth devices

    Hi Folks,
    Having only just become a new iphone 4s user I've now found out that my iphone will not connect to any other manufactured phones and other Bluetooth devices, is there any way around this or is it an iphone only club!!!. Many thanks in anticipation of a reply, Astonharry.

    You need to go to the App stores and find compatible apps. iOS device do not natively have to ability to transfer info to a computer via BT to a computer.
    With iOS 8 you can use AirDrop

  • How can I connect a second Bluetooth track pad?

    I bought two track pads to use with my Lion OS on my MBP. One for the home and one for the office. The first one I set up was flawless. When I tried to repeate with the second one it would not connect. I tried to rename the first and the new name was accepted in the preference list but the details kept the old name. Any insight?

    The names of the trackpads doesn't affect anything so you can leave them or change them.
    Turn the trackpad you want to pair off by holding the power button 5 seconds.  Go to Preferences > Trackpad > Setup Bluetooth Trackpad button > you should see the other trackpad listed and it "searching". > Tap the power button on the new trackpad once to turn on in discovery mode.

  • HT201205 How can I connect to a bluetooth devise and use the head phones at the same time? I have a new  ipod Touch  (32GB)'and want to play through a stereo system using the headphone jack and connect to a blue tooth speaker in another room

    How can I

    Not possible, there is a physical switch inside the headphone port, when the headphone jack is plugged in the switch is open and disables the iPod speaker and Bluetooth networks. Cheers.

  • N80. I can't connect to PC. bluetooth from toshiba...

    my N80 version V4.0623.0.42
    my PC Suite version 6.82.22.0
    my bluetooth software version v4.20.08(T) Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba
    pcsuite is not found my n80
    help me please!

    Hi Noan,
    I have a Toshiba bluetooth chip in my laptop and had a few problems with PCSuite, i.e. it worked when it fancied doing so.
    I didn't find the Toshiba stack and software bundle very informative on how to use it or what it is able to do, it seemed to be very limited in what tasks it let you perform.
    I have used the Microsoft stack since and can safely say it has improved bluetooth usage 10 fold.
    Not only does PCSuite work seamlessly, it is a lot easier to send and receive files across bluetooth too.
    This is my opinion, so it may not be suitable for all.
    Makes sure you have a copy of your Toshiba stack and software in case you prefer it.
    Try uninstalling your Toshiba bluetooth software ('Start' -> 'Settings' -> 'Control Panel' -> 'Add/Remove Programs' -> Select the relevant program) and/or remove the Toshiba stack/hardware ('Properties' of 'My Computer' -> Hardware -> Device Manager, then uninstall the bluetooth hardware).
    Try rebooting and Windows should install the device and it's own drivers as well as enable the MS bluetooth software.
    I have full End User experience of:
    5510, 3210, 3310, 3510, 3510i, N80, N80IE, 7610, 2610, 1208 and current E90.
