Kinivo BTH220 Bluetooth Headphones NOT Compatible?

Weird, my Nexus 10 can't find the Kinivo BTH220. These are very popular, inexpensive bluetooth cans. From Amazon reviews they are reported to work with Nexus 7. Anyone else have problems? I'm stock for now on the Nexus 10.

Tried to pair my Kinivo BTH220's as well - same issue. Doesn't find them. I'm too much of a noob to offer a solution but wanted you to know you're not alone with this question. Wonder what's going on with the N10, they work perfectly with my phone...

Don't know enough about Bluetooth. Possible the N10 doesn't have the right frequency or radio to support these headphones?

Incompatible bluetooth stack?

Oh No...this is not compatible with Google Nexus 1.
OMG. Is this headphone not compatible with Android devices?
My google nexus one (rooted) is not able to discover the headphone at all.
Is this headphone only working for Apple products and Windows 7?
On the manual, it should work with Android devices though.

I'm hijacking this thread since I searched the forum for bth220, but my kinovo's aren't working on my HTC One X+. Can pair with my car.

Hmm, not sure what's going on, but I have those headphones and they work great on my nexus 10.

I found this from a review on Amazon: ... I contacted Kinivo when I had some difficulty pairing the headphones with my Nexus 10. It turns out the pairing difficulty was my fault (I was making the Nexus 10 bluetooth visible to devices but forgot to also have it search for devices). Kinivo responded almost immediately and walked me through the correct setup. Bottom line, buy the Kinivo product, you won't be disappointed!
Update: I tried again with Nexus 10 and paired ok. I'm not sure what the problem was.

I used it with my GS3 just this morning. Try this. Turn off the headphones. Enable bluetooth on the phone. Hold down the power button on headphones for 10 seconds or so until the lights flash. On the phone scan for new bluetooth devices. It should pair.

How is the sound quality with the s3 ?

I have these headphones and they work fine on my Nexus 10. I also have the newer model the 240 and they also work fine...

It just ok. Cuts out occasionally when not fully charged. I still use with an S3.

These headphones are great. I have 2 sets, one at work and one at home. The company is awesome too. A friend of mine had a pair crap out on him and Kinivo sent him a replacement free of charge and didn't even ask for the old ones back.

Pioneer AppRadio2 and ARLiberator. Any Experience?

I recently ordered a Pioneer AppRadio2 and have ARLiberator installed on my Note II. Waiting for the radio to come in from Amazon.
Does anyone have experience with the AppRadio with the ARLiberator on the Note II?
How does it run? Is it smooth? Is it worth it?
Thanks!:good:

I have this combo and it is excellent. Pioneer should be paying the dev of arliberator as it is way better than the garbage that pioneer offers!

Do you have to install a brake bypass switch for it work?

I got the appradio 2 its awsome with the note II you have to buy the adapter for the mhl cable or it wont work or just buy a compatible mhl cable but yea I love it in my wifes car.

I installed the brake bypass... worth the 15-20 dollars.. otherwise you have to toggle the ebrake for video. Simple 3 wire connection

For some reason, I left my brake wire unconnected and it works just fine without any warnings when I hook up my phone either immediately before or after the Head Unit turns on. However, if i were to hook up my phone some time after the AppRadio has been turned on, then it will show me the warning screen. So I left it unconnected and just hook up my phone immediately. My AppRadio 2 is a US version too.

Oh, one other thing is I have to have ARLiberator and Bluetooth ready for a connection as well.

Have a new gs3 and i rooted it. I will download ARLIberator once the head unit see the phone. Bought the android pieoner cable, had cable installed by BestBuy (which is where i bought the head unit and had it install by them) and then went and bout gs3 cause of all the reviews. Only thing that works is my phone charging, unit do see phone. Any help would be great..

Go to samsung site or newegg and buy the 5 to 11 pin mhl adapter. Don't buy from ebay as you may get a fake unit and end up with snow issues.
S3 and note 2 needs 11 pin and the pioneer android kit uses 5 pin mhl.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app

Or just return that pioneer cable which costs way too much and just buy the Samsung 11 pin mhl adapter and any hdmi cable. It's way cheaper and you can get the official Samsung adapter from the Samsung site with the 50% coupon.
the pioneer kit doesn't work with the s3 is cause its a 5 pin when the s3 needs an 11 pin.

Thank u for reply. My pioneer cord is already install and i got it for $35 off Amazon. Do u have a link for the adaptor? With that adaptor my phone will work and charge at same time? Also wondering what a tasker app does and which one do i download? I heard that the tasker will do everything once phone is plugged in and turn off screen too. I plan on plugging in and putting phone in compartment out of site. Again thank you for taking time to answer the other questions and now these if u can..

Its currently out of stock though.. try checking samsung site for the same item.
As for tasker, im using it but it didn't work too well with turning the screen off. Once in a while the screen turns on. Other tasks work ok tho.
You can try downloading tasker and screen off apps and search around how to use tasker to toggle screen off.

I bought two Samsung mhl called one from Amazon one from eBay. Gave me snow every 5 seconds. So video was cutting out as well as audio. Bought one from Samsung and tried it with the identical issue. Ps they are all 11 pin. The hdmi cable is good and bought it from mono price. Anyone have any suggestions.

I use an appradio2 in my car in conjunction with my note 2, I am using an allshare cast dongle so theres zero wires. Everything remains in my glove box.

Boo, my bh-8400bt doesn't have a hdmi port in the back I believe, but it does support app radio capabilities on iOS.

30 more then I planned but if it really works. Wish i had known about it, could have saved me 30 by not ordering pioneer android cable...

[Q] 4.4 Touchless control doesn't work when aux cable is plugged into phone

Title says it. It always worked no sweat on 4.2. Now whenever I have the headphone jack plugged in it doesn't register any voice commands or input at all. Kind of annoying if you use your phone while driving to listen to music. So my question is has anyone else noticed or can test theirs for me? Am I missing a toggle in the menus somewhere? It's really frustrating me.

Saw this yesterday...Very frustrating as you said...This used to work in 4.2 right?

Yeah it definitely worked in the previous version.

Bluetooth issues

Anyone else have issues with bluetooth and calls?
When I'm in my car, it cuts in and out and is almost completely useless as a phone. Don't remember it being like this when new.
Att is sending me another phone to see if it does the same thing.

Skipping effect in the car for me. Also have a hard time getting my BT headset, a Plantronics Backbeat Go, to sound right. It's very "canny" sounding until I make a phone call (an old trick). Car connection is an HTC stereo clip.

both my car ('13 vw gof tdi, stock head unit) and my headset i use in the office (lg hbs 730) seem to work fine, not sure that helps though.

This happens for me if I have my Gear 2 watch paired with it and it's streaming music in my car. It'll cut out for a second and it's not a notification.

Afaik it wont be resolved with new phone as well. Its a bug in kitkat. Only way to fix this is turn wifi off when connected to bluetooth and driving.

Is it a bug with kitkat on TouchWiz? I had a nexus 5 before this and never had this issue. Will try turning off wifi and see if that does anything.

I have a nexus 4 previously and now a moto x and s5. Everyphone has this issue.. My problem is when i am on call and driving for some reason i can hear others voice but others cant hear mine. If i switch to ear piece and back to bluetooth it works just fine again for sometime. So i searched a lot and found that turning wifi off solves the issue. It works for me atleast

I'm not doubting your experience at all. Though, I will add that I always have wifi off in the car when connected to Bluetooth (profile scheduler turns out of four me), but I still get the music shipping problem.

If your music stutters then it might be a problem with memory. Trying freeing up memory with clean master. Also check what process are running in settings>applications and kill some apps which are not useful for you. Try it.. Hope it works out for you

Joying ODB And Dash (Dash.by)

I use Dash for my ODB monitoring but I am unable to get it to find my ODB BT device. I have my ODB connected (ODB shows connected under Bluetooth and ODB shows on the top right of my screen) and even Torque is reading it but I cannot seem to get Dash to read it. Has anyone here had success with that?

Ive let Dash know, they need to see some logs that can be reported in the app. Maybe if we both do it, it will help them out faster.
