[Q] route calls and texts to tab via bluetooth?

Are there any apps out there for android that allow you to connect your phone via bluetooth to the tablet and have any calls or texts get routed to the tab just like most car bluetooth systems do? Would love to have the tab replace the entire car system. Nav and music is great but this would put it over the top!!

I know it isn't exactly what you're looking for, but if your tab has a cell number you can always configure your phone to forward texts to it...

You want yo use the tab as a bluetooth car-kit?
Neat idea

I just bought a new car stereo that had bluetooth. Now my music, nav directions and calls go through my car speakers

Can do that pretty easy but what I want is the Tab to be the head unit and pull the calls and texts from the droid phone. The tab is a way cooler and programmer friendly device than any stereo head unit. If someone could point me to any exampls of accessing the bluetooth stack I may find the time to dig in to it myself.

OHH man, i work for Vodafone NZ, and I've been playing with the tab for a few days now. IT IS AWESOME. I have been trying to find a solution to this exact thing. I would love to have the TAB and another android phone (prob galaxy 580) but only have one number, when i'm using the tab i want call and txt to go to there, when I'm not i want to use the phone... get back to me if you have any ideas, i know you can route 3G connection... thats a start...

Food for Though
One more note: is Bluetooth the best option? The tab also has WIFI....?
What does the new blackberry play-book use to connect the blackberry phone? They can reportedly do this exact thing....

Textab
Found Textab after hours of google only works for text messages... can be found on the market here's is the link to the creator http://www.xoomforums.com/forum/motorola-xoom-apps/6931-textab-sms-send-sms-through-your-android-phone-via-your-android-tablet.html
i wish i could find something like the "BlackBerry Bridge" for our android devices would be awesome

I just posted this about TexTab and our Tab 7:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1191822
There is a link in that thread to the point in the developer's thread where I discuss it... and today I posted screenshots in the developer's thread as well.

I would pay for an app like that. Essentially it would be exactly as you stated, an app that makes your tab function like a car head unit, or bluetooth headset, having the ability to control your phones call functions and media controls. With the added ability to send and receive text messages.
I remember back in the day someone showed me a program on a PocketPC (may have been an iPAQ) that had SIM card access over bluetooth, depending on the bluetooth stack on the phone it should have been able to control phone calls over bluetooth.
Would love to see something like this on the SGT.

Textab. From Samsung apps seems to work OK. It's sounds like its should be better/more fun than it really ends up being IMO but its a cool "LAN party" trick geek style

Desperately looking for this too!!
I actually more interested in being able to make and receive calls from my tablet so I can leave my phone in my pocket or backpack while using the tab, I would definetly pay for this app!!

[Q] SmartTags

Hi!
Just a short question about the SmartTag functionality.
Let's say I'll put one SmartTag into my car. By touching it with the Z, I want Bluetooth to be switched on, and let's say GPS. When leaving the car, can I touch the SmartTag again to switch off Bluetooth and GPS, or do I have to turn them off manually?
What do you think? Do you have any experience with those SmartTags?
Thanks and have a nice day.

You can program two tags, one two switch on bluetooth and gps and one to turn off bluetooth and gps
OR you can program it to switch on bluetooth and gps and keep the phone on top of the tag and then to switch it off as soon as you remove it from the tag

thanks for your reply.
what a shame. that's more than inconvenient. then i need to have two SmartTags for each "situation/location context". and keeping the phone on top of the tag isn't useful either.
maybe we can setup the smarttag to toggle options everytime it is touched?!

Possibly, i'm going off my brothers Xperia T, he received free tags, you could potentially keep a battery saving tag on your keyring, so essentially when you touch it it will switch off, bluetooth, wifi, GPS, etc, assuming your outside, so one you get in the car, maybe get a windscreen dock and stick one on there, everytime you dock it, bluetooth on, gps on, run navigation or something, then when you get out, just tag it to your key to switch off all wireless options besides Data,
I'm not sure about the toggles you will have to check that out,

they do both now from one tag....they always have you just have to set it up properly

[Q] Fuelband as a Trusted Bluetooth Device?

So I am eagerly awaiting my Cyber Monday (Wednesday) Moto X and while doing so, I've been browsing through accessories I might want to enhance my Moto Xperience, and I really want to take advantage of the Trusted Bluetooth Device along with Touchless Controls.
I've been searching around, but I haven't been able to find a definitive answer, just off-to-the-side mentions of its use.. I have a Nike Fuelband SE that has BTLE. Nike doesn't support AndroidOS, so there's no dedicated app for it. I am, however, able to discover it with my current phone (Droid 4).
So basically, does anyone know if I will be able to use my Fuelband as a Trusted Bluetooth Device, or how I might go about doing that? I guess I could find some BL keychain if there was no way to use it.
Thanks ahead of time for your replies and help.

If your droid 4 can see it I can't see why the moto x won't. Once you connect to a Bluetooth device it will ask you if you want to make it a trusted device. If it doesn't the setting is under security. I can't see why it wouldn't work. Good luck.
Sent from my XT1060 using xda app-developers app

Thanks. I was concerned because it didn't actually support Android, but was hoping it could simply act as a dummy BTLE device. Got an e-mail from Fedex telling me it's arriving today so I'll test it out and come back here with what I've got

If anyone happens to be interested, the Fuelband SE isn't continuously syncing via Bluetooth to the Moto X. It pairs, and the Moto X asks if I want to make it a trusted device, but the notification tray icon never turns blue. It doesn't seem to be able to continuously sync. Too bad I was really looking forward to this.
If anyone knows a way around this, please let me know. Thanks!

have you done any other testing? kit kat got rid of the blue theme. the icons are either orange (no connection), white (connected) or dark (disabled).

I just tried it with a bluetooth headset and the icon turns and stays white. With the Fuelband connected, it just stays sort of grayed out.

Working!
This has been pushed back due to what I assume is a lack of interest for, but in case someone else decides to figure this out or something similar to it, I have managed to get the Fuelband SE to "sync" with the Moto X and act as a Bluetooth Trusted Device.
There's an app on the Play store called "Bluetooth Auto Connect" that you can set to sync with the Fuelband (and what I assume would be any device) and it will do so automatically. The icon stays greyed out, but turning the Fuelband's BT on and off in turn pops up that Trusted Device notification on the Moto X.
I hope this helps someone else with any type of random trusted device need.
Cheers

You can use it as your trusted device to keep your phone unlocked while you're in proximity to it and connected via Bluetooth. Saves me those few seconds of having to enter in my password, and maintains some security.

Oh, I thought you were referring to what I can do with the pairing to the Moto X.
I've been using the fitness aspect of the Fuelband since March 2012. The newest one that I have now I can use to track my general activity throughout the entire day, tag specific workout sessions in order to keep track of my workout intensity over time, track hours of sleep, and set goals for myself (via # of Fuel points) every day to give me an activity level to reach for. Since there's no Android app or any sort of Android support on Nike's end, I do all my data syncing through my PC.
And now I can use it to keep my phone unlocked when it's on me

I've got a Pebble syncing fine and enabled as a trusted device but my bluetooth icon is always greyed out. I think it only turns white when there's an audio connection like with a headset or stereo.

Makes sense why mine is grayed out too. Pebble supports Android though, and since there's no support/app for the Fuelband on Android, I had to use the auto bluetooth connect app to force a pairing to make it a trusted device. Was close to buying a Pebble though. Saw it was on sale for $90.

Yup. I got mine yesterday from Best Buy for $90. Wasn't planning on buying one but, at that price, I thought what the hell. So far I'm really digging it.

Its a shame it wasnt hacked already it would be nice to have wristband with notification...I am not into fitness or watch stuffs :angel:

Thanks for the info on the app!
By using this app to ensure a connection, how long does your Fuelband SE battery last? I suspect it has shorten considerable from when you were not using BT at all.
Also, since there are at least 2 battery sizes depending on the band size (circumference), which size is yours?

Android Auto and the Nexus 6.

I thought it may be interesting to have a thread where Nexus 6 users with the supporting hardware systems could post: Tips, How to's, experience, etc. about the Android Auto APK and Nexus 6 devices. Please feel free to enlighten all who enter. :good:

Android auto is just a remote display and sound, isn't it? I don't find it particularly interesting since it *depends* on the phone for the "android" aspect. It is a much better option to install an Android HU in the car, then it isn't functionally dependent on the phone.

Not sure if you're asking or telling.

It is a mobile application for using your phone in a car. It displays on the cars touch screen and is controlled by voice commands. It only uses the bluetooth stack for phone calls, all other sound and video comes from the phones usb port. This equates to better audio and clear, crisp video. By the way, it only works on the latest Android HU.

i've been using it with my Pioneer 4100-NEX, it works quite well. i wish you could swipe away cards and have more notifications push though (ie, sms and hangouts come through, but not facebook messenger)
all in all i'm pretty happy with it, it's fast, simple, pretty and i've been pleasantly surprised with how responsive the resistive screen on the HU is.

HU does *not* require android to work with android auto.

If you want to try out Android Auto you can sign up for the beta of the app called AutoMate. First you'll need to join the beta group in Google+. Next you'll have to agree to be a beta tester with google play. Then you'll finally be able to download the app. I have been using the app for a couple of days now and I personally think that it is great. Its just like Android Auto, at least from what i've seen in all of the android auto demos. I have a pretty good car mount that can fit the nexus 6 so when I took a 4 hour trip this weekend everything worked flawlessly. The best part is that you've already got a giant 6 inch capacitive screen, why not use it instead of paying at least $800 for the cheap resistive screen version of the pioneer head units.

I have a pretty interesting issue where my Android Wear watch (Moto 360) is being CONSTANTLY pinged by my Nexus 6 while plugged into Android Auto. For the life of me, I can't figure out why. Maps is the only app I use regularly in Android Auto and I have it muted on Android Wear...yet, it's draining my Moto 360 battery QUICKLY every time I plug in. It's the strangest thing. I've had to start putting my 360 into Airplane mode to avoid problems while driving. As soon as I unplug the Nexus from my Android Auto HU, I then have to reconnect my 360 in the Android Wear app...or else it won't reconnect and continues to drain battery.
Seriously the weirdest thing.

yeah I have the pioneer 4100nex and originally was using a Moto G and it works great and then I preorderd the ATT galaxy S6 Edge and received it on tuesday, well the S6 edge doesn't work with the Android Auto, so I returned it and just bought google play edition Nexus 6 64gb, and works perfect, I really like the google navigation, reads texts and you can voice reply to the texts,you can play your google music, I`m very happy with it.:good:

That is not the purpose of this thread.

I like to believe we all know how to use our phones hands free in a car and need no special app to do that. That's the way most of us have been doing it for the past six years or so since the smartphones came out. A simple bluetooth radio used to give you all you needed paired with your phones screen. But now it's much easier to get into your car, plug your device into your hidden USB port and let it charge with screen off and have a heads up display on your radios big screen while the audio is streamed through USB and the only thing using the bluetooth stack is the phone part of the phone. Sound quality is vastly improved and everything runs so much smoother. Plus the steering wheel controls for answering calls, activating OK google and other voice related options allows you to keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel.

First if your car already has Bluetooth like mine then you still have all of the same controls as the actual android auto head units. Also just like on my phone it's not like you can just say OK Google with the music playing but if the music isn't at least I can just say OK Google even with the screen off as well and will get a response. More that likely a person will still end up looking at the device or take their hands off of the wheel when giving a command. I mean come on, Google now works but everyone knows that it's still not perfect yet. Even on my phone I still have to type out what I'm saying even if I'm annunciating perfectly just FYI... Bluetooth audio has also vastly improved over the years. I would argue that the average person would not even notice the difference between Bluetooth audio and being playing directly over USB. Also don't say that it runs 'so much smoother' because most of us have seen the videos and they are still laggy and still not as responsive as our phone themselves. I was simply giving an option to people who wanted to try out android auto without having to buy a crappy resistive screen head unit unless you wanted to shell out over $1000 for one. Also is not a heads up display... A heads up display would be something out in the area of where the driver will be looking out of the windshield as to not having to take their eyes off of the road ahead.

Please.

Please try and understand what I started this thread for. It is for those of us who are using Android Auto with a supporting head unit. Just like back a few months ago, I was using the sync system in my car. I have never had any issues with my voice to text, every once in a while a word would be incorrect, but the more you use it in a quite environment the better your results get. My text messaging reads back my response before it sends and I can either allow it to send or say the message again. I have not had to touch my phone in a car for five years and don't plan on doing anything like that today even with the radios display. The idea of hands free is exactly that, Hands Free. If you don't have the tech to support and help contribute to developing apps that help alleviate the use of hands in the car, this is not the forum thread for you. I don't know what music application you prefer, but the ones I use I pay a premium for because they offer me higher bandwidth and truer sound. And you can immediately here the difference between bluetooth and wired. It's been rumored already that Bluetooth is soon to become extinct and it seems that is the way mobile tech is rolling. BTW, HU the way I was using it my Head Unit not heads up.

The good part is.....

That would be the ideal, but very few cars come with a built in cellular connection, I know they are available but this is the inexpensive way to go. What I like the most about it is the ability to put the phone in my center compartment where the USB outlet is hidden, shut the compartment while the phone is charging and still have access to all of my phones functionality straight from the steering wheel. It's wonderful not to have to look at a screen, and if I do glance at the screen to see a turn that might be coming up or what song is playing on a stream, it is big and clear and takes not even a second to see. Luckily, the Navigation in google maps is pretty trustworthy and gives voice commands with plenty of time to spare so it's rare to even have to look at the Map when moving. My next car will have built in cellular service, it was just still to expensive four years ago when I bought my car and my service provider did not have a system in place for plugging in their tech. They do now but I won't be in the market for another car for at least another year. The thing that got me into having a Android Auto supporting HU is my text messaging application and the sync system, would not play nice together anymore because of changes in Lollipop from kit kat. Sync kept crashing the bluetooth sharing feature anytime I received a text. And since I was using that tech for the past four years, there was no way I was going back to having to touch a screen or try and type a text in the car. The developers I work with tried many fixes to see if we could alleviate the problem, but every thing we tried failed. The problem was immediately remedied with the new HU. Now I'm trying to find others that use the same tech, so we can share our experiences and any other useful features we find or help each other with certain problems one might experience. That is what this thread is about. If you have a Android Auto compatible HU and a Nexus device, this is a place to share.

Open garage door with Android?

Hello, I will try to explain the best possible.
I want open the garage door using my Android Radio installed on my car without any device installed on the garage door.
All I see are devices that are installed next to the garage door and through an application connects to this device and opens the door.
I would like to be able to install this device directly in my car, which has powerful antennas and can be powered by usb, to install it hidden inside the car connected to the android radio.
Any idea?, thanks!

If you fit it in your garage your should be able to control it from your car. If your garage door opens with 433MHz it may work. I would like to do the same, but my garage uses 868MHz and rolling codes so I dont think it will work for me. Too bad.

That device I see that it is a receiver 433mhz, not an emitter, which should be installed next to the garage and welding two cables (if I am not mistaken).
Regrettably if your door code is variable, you need to make a cable installation next to the opener (you can see this video for know how Install on your garage, mute the video if you don't understand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3XYTUuW-WVs ).

Android device have no way to do it,you can try to use a Raspberry pi with bluetooth(try to replace door controller with Raspberry pi)

Yes I think you are right. In my case the manufacturer of my garage door motor is a french company called Somfy and they do sell a WiFi to RF converter, but it cost USD 240 which I think is too expensive. https://www.somfysystems.com/products/controls/mylink

Kurt Lund

I also have a Somfy garage door opener.
I installed a garage door opener very simply on my motorbike. I got a "1 Channel AC DC 12V RF Wireless Remote Control Switch Receiver +Transmitter 1 CH" from ebay.
Connected the receiver part across the key switch contact on my Somfy door controller, powered it from a mains to 12v adapter, removed the battery from the remote control, and wired it in series with one of the direction indicator bulbs on the bike.
To open/close the door, all I had to do was briefly turn on the direction indicators on the motorbike, and as if by magic, the garage door opened!!

Hello, I will try to explain the best possible.
I want open the garage door using my Android Radio installed on my car without any device installed on the garage door.
All I see are devices that are installed next to the garage door and through an application connects to this device and opens the door.
I would like to be able to install this device directly in my car, which has powerful antennas and can be powered by usb, to install it hidden inside the car connected to the android radio.
Any idea?, thanks!

What would you gain? You press the screen button on the android head unit to open the door. How is that different than pressing a physical button?
If there is a geek factor in it for you then maybe check this one wire usb adapter:

It's simple comfort, but I'll give you some examples that may make you change your mind.
1- The remote control is stored, you need to stop the vehicle to find it.
2- You must keep the button pressed, and many times the door does not open and you must play with the position of the remote control.
3- You can run out of batteries, in this case if you do not have spare batteries in the car, you will not be able to enter or leave the garage unless you have another method until you change the batteries.
I also thought of installing a good antenna so that I could open it early enough and quickly.
Using a shortcut on the home screen of my android radio would be a simple touch of the screen without having to distract or stop the vehicle, saving time and effort.

Well, the amount of time required to get something working on android is greater than the time it takes to purchase batteries and store backups in the car. Several cars have built in garage door opening functionality that you can program. You can very easily take a remote and wire it to a new button you can mount in your dash. Plenty of after market remotes that include a visor clip. Old skool radio works better on doors, but if you just gotta have something else look at the available options like:

I do think this is an old problem. There are now several garage door openers with google home integration. An "OK Google, open the garage door" should work with them through your android auto.

This is the one I use: https://www.amazon.de/meross-Garage...jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

This is how I have been doing it for a couple of years. I can use either an OK Google command or a shortcut on my Android Auto launcher. More recently (only in the last couple of days), I've set up a couple of Macrodroid macros to automatically open or close the garage door when I am connected to my car's bluetooth and I cross over a boundary 300m from my house.

I use the phone app to call one of my family members to open and close the door. It's a low cost option.

I've automated my garage door a couple of years ago and I did not had even a single issue until a couple of months ago. My garage door was not opening at first, then it was blocked at all. I was trying to it on my own but I am not an engineer, so I called a local specialist but as far as I know he was in vacation, so I've called a friend of mine who's barking locksmith. The guy really know his job and he was working with smart locks for a while so he fixed this issue of mine in a couple of minutes
