AppSupport Bluetooth feedback thread

Thanks for this (though I’m very upset that “Meta AI Raybans” exist)

Yeah, it’s by design that AppSupport has no access to search for WiFi networks or decide which ones to connect to. It’s just not some thing that we think users would like Android to be able to do. There are quite a few apps that seem to rely on these things though, and with the Bluetooth hurdle down this might loom larger. It’s possible but eww.

Without problems so without the neex to restart Bluetooth via Sailfish Utilities?

Yes, but later, phone was connected and when I took a call, no sound anywhere… I have to stop/restart BT to take the call. Then, it doesn’t work very well for sure :roll_eyes:

Turns out, I had to fire up ScooterHacking Utility on my Pixel and update the SHFW (now on 3.10.1) on my G30e II for it to work! :partying_face: They block the app running on C2 (claiming the environment is “not safe to use”) so I’ll just throw it on my computer since they offer an AppImage.

Works fine with the Norm 2 smartwatch and the Android Norm app. Health/exercise data, etc all syncs perfectly and you get phone notifications on the watch (although obviously only those from installed Android apps and NOT from any native SFOS apps).

Withings ScanWatch and ScanWatch Nova doesn’t work.

It’s almost impossible to connect, and if it does, it disconnects again within a few seconds.

Renting and opening a car at Hertz 24/7 in Germany works without problems

Successfully connected a Sigma Rox 11.1 Evo bike computer to the Sigma Ride App. Did a firmware update, downloaded my previous journeys, uploaded a new track, did a ride with navigation instructions (turn-by-turn texts) coming from the app (while listening to gPodder episode via the standard Sailfish audio connectivity to my BT ear pieces at the same time).

P.S. SFOS 5.1.0.11 on Xperia 10iii, pairing via QR code on bike computer’s display didn’t work due to the camera not being able to focus on the low-refresh-rate lcd. The device was found by the app anyways.

Works fine with Xperia III and Tile key finders

(If anyone knows of a better key finder solution, please let me know - the Tile/life 360 apps are horrible and very American!(school shooting alerts :flushed_face:)

Looking forward to my Jolla smartphone next :victory_hand:

Successfully paired a Max Go fitness tracker to the Personify Health app. Data from the fitness tracker syncs with the app, however I have to restart the tracker prior to reconnecting through the app for it to be successful.

  • Sony Xperia 10 III (5.1.0.11)
  • Max Go
  • Personify Health v3.276.0
  • Device paired via AppSupport

Haha, mine is still a bunch of parts that I need to solder.

Now back to the topic, what’s the proper procedure:

  • install Bluetooth for AppSupportr from store
  • reboot phone
  • turn on Android App Support
  • blue tooth: search for new device
  • once the device shows up, long press and select “add to AppSupport”
  • device should now be visible to android apps, too.

Right? Am I missing something?

I have paired my Suunto 9 Peak watch with the installed Suunto app, paired only in the app. The sync works but activities was not successfully synct sometimes. But they showed eventually up in the app. Notifacations works. Have not tried the multimedia control.

on Xperia 20 IV

Have paired my phone with my Volvo V60 2025 Hybrid. Calls works, and I can see my contacts.

The car is not a AppSupport device. Xperia 10 IV

I connected Galaxy Buds 3 Pro earbuds and I can listen to audiobooks via Storytel (Android app for audiobooks).

Volume control works but there are two separate scales: SFOS volume and earbuds volume (by gestures on the earbuds itselves)

There is some instability with sound transmission during sending a file (screenshot in my case) via Bluetooth. Screenshot shared from default Gallery app, to another phone.

This seems to just work with pebble time 2 and the official app, using an Xperia 10 (the first one). I haven’t tested everything yet but I am impressed. I think this was a blocker for many people for a long time!

On my XA2plus:

I wanted to send some files (PDF, txt) to my device via BT, but got always the error “please set your xa2 to receive files”.

Nothing helped BT restart (both devices), full restart, switching off AAS.

Only de-installing AAS BT support enabled me to receive files from another phone.

Bummer and no-go :frowning:

What app are you using? I use LocalSend and it has worked well for me.

Standard Bluetooth share from an Android

(again, after deinstall it worked flawkessky)

Happy to say that the Bluetens app (logged in) and the BT connection to the little Bluetens device both worked great. J2 on 5.2 (13)
