IPhone and Bluetooth Devices

I have a request from a couple of different customers to have an iOS device connect to a product that my company has produced for many years. The standard interface to this device is either through a serial port or Bluetooth (it can be either serial over Bluetooth or OBEX over Bluetooth). I have been attempting to contact someone at Apple to discuss this issue. I know that the current iOS does not support RFCOMM or OBEX on its Bluetooth stack (which seems to make this issue much more difficult). Any help is appreciated.

BT & Accessories -- All Bluetooth accessory developers must go through the Made for iPod program. Once you have an MFI device you can then talk to it via the ExternalAccessory framework.

You'll have to go through the MFI folks to get this ball rolling. Their contact address is <[email protected]>

If we upgrade to a Professional Edition DPS license can we create an unlimited number of Single edition apps for iPad, iPhone and Android devices?

I work for a organisation based in Sydney and we have a team license for creative cloud (single edition).
We have been producing single folio apps for the iPad and want to continue this through 2015.
At the moment we can only create apps for the iPad platform. If we upgrade to a Professional Edition DPS license can we create an unlimited number of Single edition apps for iPad, iPhone and Android devices?
We do not need multi-folio apps as we are not a publishing company.

Thanks Neil
I sent an email yesterday and am awaiting a reply. Here is my email for reference.

We are not a publishing company so we will produce a small number of the apps. If you could get back to me with a solution and approx price that would be great.
Thanks for your time

The "view" buttons in the showcase page are not visible in iPad, iPhone and Android device

I was trying to test the demo in the showcase page (http://html.adobe.com/edge/animate/showcase.html) in my iPad, iPhone and HTC device. None of them has the "view" button visible, so I cannot check the demo at all. Do you encounter the same issue? Any thoughts?
thanks,

Hi Elaine,
Yes, I understand! Actually we have tested the previous examples last month before the new release! In general they were working fine but with some bugs in the mobile devices.
Is there any possibility we could test some live examples via mobile devices?
In the past years we have heavily relied on flash tools. With the rapid growth of the usage of tablets and smart phones in our business, we will have to get rid of flash tools as soon as possible. We are in the phase to select and test new development environment intensively. Unfortunately I have aleady shared the same link with many of my colleagues for testing (didn't realize that they are not working any more). Any suggestion would be great!
Thanks,
Wenlong

HT4059 why can you browse, and buys books from itunes but not read them on my iMac? Pretty lame I think. my kindle show up across all my computers, iPhones and Android devices no problem.

just wondering why you can browse, buy on itunes but not read on an imac. My kindle apps work on the imac, ipod, asus netbook, iphone and android devices. Why not ibooks on imac?

"just wondering why you can browse, buy on itunes but not read on an imac. "
Because Apple does not make an ibook reader for computers.

Can someone verify the following regarding Find My Phone: I assume the lost device (iPhone) and the device (ipad) one is using to find the lost item must have the identical Apple ID, Apple PW, and iCloud PW and username? Otherwise it won't work?

Can someone verify the following regarding Find My Phone:
I assume the lost device (iPhone) and the device (ipad) one uses to find the lost item must have identical Apple IDs , PWs as well as identical iCloud identification?

Back now. Are you saying that you entered you iCloud ID and password in the Find My iPhone app (see photo below), and it said you don't have an iCloud account? Are you sure this is the ID for your iCloud account (check Settings>iCloud next to Account at the top on the device you are trying to track)?
Also, did you try using this ID and password on icloud.com on your computer to try to track it, as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmfc0f2442? Did that work?

MacBook pro, snow leopard, iPhone and Bluetooth PAN problems

Short Version:
I am having connectivity issues connecting my new MacBook Pro (MBP) to the Internet thru a Bluetooth PAN on my iPhone4. This has been working fine for a few days and then today it just stopped working responding that my iphone connection is not available, it's off, too far away or whatever. This is not the case. When I try to connect the iPhone to the MBP the iPhone is saying my MBP is not supported. I can pair the devices, but as soon as I try to connect to the Internet thru the iPhone via the MBP the connection fails.
Long Version:
I received a shiny new MacBook Pro only a few days ago and I am having Bluetooth Paired networking issues as of today, 2nd, March, 2011. The MacBook Pro is running Snow Leopard 10.6.4, and is brand spanking new, unmodified, factory defaults.
The iPhone(s) I am using are iPhone 4's with iOS 4.1
On the first day I paired the MBP with both iPhones with ease, it was so easy my grandparents could have done it. So point and click and it just worked....
The iPhones are set up in iTunes with names similar to dave1 and dave2
On the MBP I can select which device I want to connect to the Internet by going to the Bluetooth icon and connecting to whichever iPhone I have handy at the time. Since the plans are limited connectivity, I do load share between the two.
Today, for no apparent reason, I have been unable to connect to my wife's phone just getting a basic "The Bluetooth network is unavailable" message telling me the iphone is out of range, not on, etc etc etc. Not true.
No problem, I just connected to my phone instead. Occasionally I tried her phone again, but it just never worked. I eventually got her to reboot it, still no joy.
Then, a couple of hours ago, while in the middle of reading my rss feeds, my Bluetooth connection dropped out. My phone is sitting right next to the MBP. So that's not the issue. No amount of reboots of either the MBP or the iPhone have fixed this. I have unpaired and repaired the devices (on both phones) countless times. I have removed the sim card and rebooted, I have disabled and reenabled Bluetooth on both, rebooting before doing this, and after and during, I have reset network settings. Nothing I try is working here.
Pairing alone is an event, but here's an example of what's happening:
I go thru the motions, the MBP shows me a number (eg, 451234) and the number is displayed on the iPhone. They see each other. The numbers are the same. Good. I click PAIR on the iPhone and MBP and everything appears good. But then if I go to connect to the iphone on the MBP I get the out of range error.
I have made both discoverable, and tried to connect to the MBP from the iphone, and got a different error message altogether: Connection Unsuccessful - "{insert my name}'s MacBook Pro" is not supported. W-T-F? It was an hour ago? What has changed?
Then, the only option on the iPhone is to "Forget Device". ok, forget it, and start again. Same same.
Neither the iPhones nor the MBP have been upgraded or changed in anyway today, or even recently. In fact, as mentioned earlier, I was actively using the connection without any issues for a number of hours when it just stopped for no apparent reason.
Not that these matter, but I am in Thailand (live here for the time being), I'm on the TrueMove network, which offers 3G coverage in my area (Patong Beach).
This could easily have been filed under MacBook Pro, iPhone, OSX and possibly many other discussion headings, because the issue can be any or all of the OS, the MacBook Pro Bluetooth adapter, the iPhone Bluetooth, (iOS for that matter), or some other unforeseen conditions...
My head is sore from pulling my hair out. I am open to any suggestions (reasonable or otherwise!)
For further info (not that this post is long enough already, or anything, but), I thought it was interesting that the phones didn't fail at the same time, so I pulled out an old iPhone 3GS and set it up, but after pairing, the two can still not connect.
I know its not an issue with the data plan on the iPhone since I'm here surfing now without an issue, so it's not a data problem.
Open to ideas....
If you've read this far and you're ever in Phuket, give me a call... I'll shout you a beer

Ok, now I do wish I could edit....
I forgot to APPLY the network settings for the USB cable to work. Connected thru USB I can tether.
So, I kept playing, and playing some more...
I had previously unpaired everything, and gone as far as removing network devices HOWEVER...
I didn't remove the Ethernet, Firewire or Airport Network devices.
Now, I have done so. I REMOVED EVERYTHING
No pairing, no network devices.
Bluetooth was already turned off, and I rebooted.
I turned off tethering and rebooted the iphone.
I turned on bluetooth (on the MBP), I turned on tethering. I browsed for the iphone. It said I was already paired???? Ok, repair AGAIN, and THE IPHONE SHOWED MY BLUETOOTH TETHERING BLUE BAR at the top of the screen!
I opened a web page, no go... d4mn, I was close...
Opened network preferences and the created a new bluetooth PAN and voila! Internet back on the MBP. I am about to reinstall the ethernet and airport (I can live without firewire for now) and see what happens.
Basically, the link I posted two posts ago, I had already done that, but I NEEDED to remove ethernet, firewire and airport as well...
So MAYBE it's fixed, we'll see for how long. I'm not going to mark this as answered for now, because basically, it has failed for no reason, and I want to know why...
Hopefully someone can come up with something, but having to delete and reinstall all pairings and network devices (to me) is not really a solution, it's a workaround (at best).

IPhone and Bluetooth printing

Hi
With the latest iPhone OS(4), is bluetooth printing supported?
If not directly from the existing apple apps, but using the SDK/development tools to connect and print (even text format output) to a bluetooth printer?
I have a requirement to develop an app that needs to produce some output to a printer. Will this be possible?
Urfan

Hello
Thanks for the reply but, Iam not looking to print via the existing apps, like photo/notes etc.., but from my own app.
If a bluetooth connection is possible to a bluetooth 'device' (e.g. a small BT printer) then I would want to send output to the device.
This output could be simple text/ASCII using spaces/tabs to align the data.
In other words, can I connect in a similar fashion to a serial device via BT?

But I couldn't find iPhone start SPP connection request to our car radio.
I wonder whether SPP connection has been start from other device such as our car radio?

Yes that is what I observed.

Old password stuck in iphone and other devices

My password did not update on my iphone, ipad or ipod. I have synced all devices using my pc. When I view my Apple ID on my devices, the password that is showing is two characters shorter than my password. The old password must have remained in the devices and I cannot remember what it is. I even did a factory reset. I would like to add that this was not an issue beforw th3 ios 7.3 update. I would appreciate any help.

Video format for viewing on both iphone and android devices?

hi there,
what's the best format to export a video to so that it can be seen on both android and iphone devices? does adobe support this or is there another program that i'd have to buy? any help or insight would be appreciated.
thanks!

H.264 works for both iOS devices and Android devices. Here's a page with a list of the formats and specs for Android:
http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/media-formats.html
If you choose H.264 as the format in Adobe Media Encoder, you can then choose from a bunch of encoding presets for specific devices, including various iOS devices.

Iphone and Bluetooth earpeices.

Ok, so I've had the iphone since it was released and the only real issue I have with it is the reception for bluetooth earpeices. I've had 3 different ear peices, the first 2 were plantronics, they both worked fine but then eventually got so much static in the ear peice I couldn't hear from them unless I had the phone less then a foot from the earpeice..
Eventually I thought just the earpeices were peices of garbage so I just bought a new jawbone ear peice today, charged it, paired it and I'm still getting tons of static...
Can anyone give any insight? I'm lost.
Thank you!!!

Sorry. Those ** stands for a word that rhymes w. smell and shell. It's the place you go after you die if you've been bad (e.g. posting profanity.) Didn't think it was offensive. Again sorry.
As for the moto H700 (I checked the model number.) I don't know if it's still around--I've had it for awhile. I've been to two different Circuit City stores and both Verizon kiosks have clearance moto BT headsets for $15. It works good. The newer models have the fold out boom to toggle 0n/0ff. The $15 jobber is a 500 (older still) series... No toggle (bit for fifteen clams it's a steal any which way.)
The latest Moto BT whichever series they are up to has got to be as good and presumably better.
I agree w, the post that suggests all BT are subject to interference/static--to a point.
The phone and the BT headset have a great deal to do w. how that interference is handled.
I've been in a convertible going 50mph w. the jabra--noise cancel/military grade supposedly--and it worked like a charm--no static clear convo on both ends.
I've been one foot from the iPhone BT headset and iPhone and turned my head mid call and couldn't believe the static. Also when walking to my car to office--the thing sounded like that place you go when you're bad (rhymes w. smell.) It wasn't windy at all but just the mere walking made it sound like a wind tunnel.
iPhone thus far has less than stellar BT going for it--from what I've read here, my own experience and people I've spoken to. That being said, I use a BT more than I don't and while I've had better performance w. other phones (the convertible example was a Bb phone)---It still can be made to work--for me anyway.

HT4914 Syncing iPhone and Other Devices

Hi,
Does anyone know if you can sync your phone or other devices from different PC's if they both have itunes and are linked to the iTunes Match?
The secnario is as follows:
I have and iPhone for Work and a laptop with iTunes.
I have a HTC phone and a media server at home.
I want the music from my Media server at home on my Laptop.
I want to sync both my iPhone and HTC to Playlists from that Media server libary on my Lap top while i am at work.
Can this be done with Tunes Match?

Iphone and another device

Hi All,
So for reasons I dont want to bore you all with I need a to use both a Droid X and I also want to get an Iphone 4.
Now my question is how easy is it to activate one device from another. So for example on my commute on the bus I would use the Iphone but towards the end of the journey I want to put the Iphone away and activate the Droid X for the rest of the day at work.
Is this possible? If so how would I do it? I think it is, and I also think if one of my devices was something like an Thunderbolt that the LTE would cause extra complications. But for an Iphone 4 and Droid can I seemlessly day to day switch between devices (obviously moving my number as I switch)?
Hope this makes sense!
Thanks...

I have been trying to do the same thing myself, no success though
It should be as easy as shutting off the currently activated/programmed phone, turning on the phone you want to switch to, dialing *228 option 1, entering in your phone number and last 4 digits of your SSN (or account holder's SSN if you are a dependant/secondary line), then it should reprogram the phone and transfer your number, then do the same thing with the other phone to switch back
That said, I have noticed some issues with that procedure personally, so it isn't completely foolproof
In my experience, after dialing *228 option 1, then typing in the number and SSN for my number/account, it tells me it's going to program the phone, immediately followed by a message saying "the phone cannot be programmed" or something similar, then hangs up, all Verizon reps I talk to say it should transfer just fine and I shouldn't be having that issue
In my case, I only use my old Droid phone for navigation and some apps, so I just decided to tether it with my iPhone and forget about switching

I am confused as to why you would need two phones that has the exact capabilities except the iPhone 4 has facetime and the X has flash player. I could understand if you needed a feature phone while at work because of some restrictions companies may have, but I can't understand switching between two smartphones that can do the same thing. I would just stick with one phone, and not fork out the 100's of dollars for a full retail price phone.
There are many reasons why someone would want to switch back and forth between an iPhone and Droid
While the iPhone and Droid are similar, there are major differences, the Droid (in my experience) has a superior navigation/GPS app and hardware compared to anything for the iPhone, and has apps and widgets that you can only dream the iPhone getting, yet the Android OS, while wonderful as it may be, has some major flaws, most of them being that you can't close out of apps, causing, among other things, app/OS crashing, lagging/freezing, and most importantly, battery issues (the main reason I switched to the iPhone), and being I had the Eris, if I remember right, the last available update was Eclair, so I have no hopes of seeing Froyo, Gingerbread, etc.
By having both, you get the best of both worlds, then you can just switch back and forth depending on what you want/need to do at that particular time without having to get 2 numbers/lines
The OP may have his own valid reasons for switching between the two, there are enough differences to require both

Why have apple disabled file transfer between iphone and other devices?

I have recently purchased an iPhone and i was about to send a file from my iPhone to a friends android and i found that it wasnt possible. Does anyone know why apple have not allowed this feature on any of the iPhones?

I venture to say security is the primary reason.
