HI All,
My Nexus 4 was ota to 4.3 last night. This morning I have been trying to get my H7 to pair via bluetooth, given that both the Nexus 4 and H7 support Bluetooth Smart.
Has anyone managed to pair their H7's over bluetooth? If so what did you do and which app did you use.
I think that the H7 is working as it's sending a t31 signal to my polar f6 watch, so i'm assuming that the bluetooth is also switched on, however I no way to verify this, as i don't have another bluetooth smart receiver to check it with.
Thanks

I just have tried it also without success. But just take the battery of the H7 short out and you will be able after inserting the battery to get paired. So hardware works fine now, but apps aren´t working yet: edemondo pro, runtastic pro. Does somebody have already an app that works?
Same here. I was able to pair after removing the H7 battery and inserting again but is not showing my heart rate.

Same here!
My N4 is able to pair with the H7, but apps don't show my heart rate..
Hi,
I also tried this and my Nexus 4 was unable to find the H& in the BT pairing menu.
I realised yesterday that my wifes S3 also support BT smart, via smasungs own bt stack. I tried to pair via the normal BT menu but failed. However I download an app called NRF (by Nordic Semi) and managed to pair the device directly from there, so atleast i know that my H7 works. I guess it just matter of time before support is introduced by the various apps.
I wonder if manufacturers like Samsung will provide wrappers for the own BT Smart api's to conform with the Android API v18 (the one with BT Smart)
Thanks

HI
i tried yesteday to connect the Polar H6 to the Nexus4 using Runtastic app. Didn´t had success i tried to reboot the phone and also released the battery of the polar sensor.
Do you know if there´s other software which i can use to pair them? Or how bluetoot smart pairing works in general?
I am also unable to pair my Bluetooth Smart heart rate monitor to my Nexus 4.
I am using a 60beat Blue and the device is not detected in either the Bluetooth settings menu or the Runtastic PRO V4.0 App.
When I try and connect to a app 'nRF HRM Demo' (the app 60beat support directed me too to test if the device worked) I get a message pop up "Bluetooth Low Energy isn't supported by your phone " Could other users try this app and let me know if they get the same message before I reply to 60beat?
I am running Android 4.3 (stock factory image and I am not rooted) JWR66V
I am waiting for a reply from Runtastic support to see if this device is compatible with their APP.
I do know my heart rate monitor uses the Transmission frequency of 2.4 GHz maybe this is the problem.
I will reply again once I receive a response from Runtastic as I requested a list of compatible hardware.
It does seem strange that I am unable to find much information about this new feature and how to test it.
FIngers crossed we will be able to definitive rundown of what works and does not work on both the Nexus 4 and Android 4.3
After having no luck getting a response out of Runtastic I have finally found an App in the store that reads my 60beat cheststrap (released today);
I am unable to post a link to the Play store but search for BLE Heart Rate Monitor
My device still does not show up in the setting menu but at least I know that 4.3 is working with BLE and it's Runtastic's fault that my monitor does not pair with it's APP.
I will reply again once I hear back from Runtastic with there response to this issue.
Let me know if anyone finds any other apps that work with their devices.

Got a response from Runtastic via Twitter;
"@Runtastic Why do you lock out the use of other BLE HRM from you Android Platform, I thought the point of BLE was for easy implementation?
@Dichdude From now we don't offer support for third-party hardware anymore. Thanks for understanding."
To sum it up Runtastic will only work with there own BLE heart rate monitor. I did reply asking them why and that it looks like a money grab but they have not responded to that question (suprise), so it looks like we will have to wait for other Dev's to implement Smart BT.
We just have to wait for developers to update their apps to be able to make use of BLE. The internal libraries don't yet support that protocol even though the phone does. I'm sure it won't be that long until apps updates start rolling out for the more popular apps. Unfortunetly there is only the one app (BLE HRM that a few have mentioned) that works. Considering 4.3 was released/announced less then 2 weeks ago, we should give the developers some time to get that update out before we start to fully complain.

I got an H7 today and downloaded BLE Heart Monitor. As soon as I started scanning I got it in the list of devices. I was able to connect and it seemed pretty accurate. However, I'm not able to connect again and it's not even detected as a device. I tried taking out the battery, re-booting the phone but nothing seems to work. Anything else I can try to get this to connect again with my Nexus 4?
Runtastic says they will only support their Runtastic-branded Bluetooth Smart HRM chest strap. I'm still waiting on Endomondo & RunKeeper to respond to my inquiries. The best thing to do is keep hounding them.
Confirmed working Polar h7 - at least in a basic app that was just updated today.

Just wondering, can you pair the h7 every time? I can do it once, get to the heart rate screen, see my heart rate but if I close the app it will no longer pair with the H7. It will show it in the list of devices but will hang on the "Connecting" screen. After this I have to clear the data for the app and take out the battery of the H7 to get them to pair again.

I'll check when I get back home.
I tested for a little while tonight. Doesn't seem to handle a reboot nor temporary disconnection. I'd hope it would reconnect if I toggle the Bluetooth radio for a moment. In the event of temporary loss of signal I had to stop the app in android settings and once I restarted the app it would recognize the monitor once more.
My concern with all of that is my phone could reboot for whatever reason mid-run and I'd have to mess with whatever running app again. I'm usually listening to Stitcher radio and using whatever running app in places where phone signal isn't always great. That combination seems to cause my phone to restart on rare occasion which already annoys me so I'd expect reliability.
So I confirmed that turning Bluetooth off and on will resolve the connection issue, it's able to re-connect everytime. I did a ride today running both BLE Heart Monitor and RunKeeper and I had a stable connection throughout. At the end I just entered the average heart rate in RunKeeper. I really wish RunKeeper would release an update already or at least provide an ETA!
You're saying runkeeper saw it? Nm. I just read it

Ok got something interesting here and wanted to see if anyone else got this issue. I currently use a motorola bluetooth head set (S9-HD) when working out, I now have a polar bluetooth heart monitor that I use with sportstraker live (i have also used other apps to see if the issue happens in them and it does) Now here is the issue I am having. If I try to use both bluetooth devices I lose signal to the heart rate monitor and the audio cuts in and out on the headset...If I only use the heart rate monitor it works find and I have to use a wired head set which also works fine...my theory is that the blue tooth stack can not handle 2 devices asking for information...does this theory hold true? And if so is there a way I can have it where I can modify the stack so I can use both devices? I am using cyanogen 6.1 btw
I can't really offer any technical advise here. However, I did want to check and see if you've posted this over in CM's forum's as well. Your honestly probably going to get more help there since it's their ROM.
I am subscribed to a few Google group conversations about Bluetooth issues with the Nexus 4 and reading each complaint prompted me to ask. Does anybody out there with a Nexus 4 NOT have an issue with Bluetooth?
I am on my 2nd replacement Nexus from Google Play device support and a third is on the way. If this third device doesn't work, then I either can opt for a refund or wait for Android 4.3 to hopefully fix it, if the problem is software salvageable. So I'm just curious if anybody's N4 actually has no issue with Bluetooth and in what manner do you use Bluetooth and with what devices?

I got my N4 in the first batch from play store back in November
I have never had any issue with Bluetooth
Granted I don't use it often (once every couple weeks on average) but each time I have its never failed in any way.
I have used in my car for hands free and also to send pics to my GF's phone and a couple times to transfer files from my laptop
Started out stock and then last few months been on custom ROM's with no change
Day 1 N4 here too - never had bt problems. Pairs with my car, Motorola headset, and Moga Pro just fine. Fiancée's stock unrooted N4 pairs with her car and jawbone speakers fine. Hoping 4.3 brings LE bt support for my fitbit flex, but besides that haven't had to do anything but turn on bt and pair.
What problems are you having? Haven't heard of people really having issues...
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
To my knowledge from researching the problem myself people claim it's a hardware issue based on some of the responses they get back from google I guess? I knew right away it wasn't just me when someone else I know has a N4 as well and when I use my LG Tone with his while connected via WiFI it pulls a dubstep and drops.
Other than that it's the only issue I have with BT that I can replicate. Hands-free while connected via data works like it should.
No Bluetooth problem here.

Stock 4.2.2 doesn't work properly with my car (BMW E61 5-series). Basic phone works, but no contact sync due to bugs in the N4 bluetooth stack. Moved to CM10.1 which contains various fixes for this and it's worked perfectly since then.
Honest truth - if the first device didn't work and the second was the same, why on earth would you assume that this was a hardware problem and keep sending the phone back? Either request a refund, switch ROMs or put up with it!
Oh sure I guess I have heard people mention that... BT and both 2.4ghz and 5ghz wifi coexist just fine on both N4s here. I just wish it could take advantage of my ac router.

No Issues
Bought my N4 a month ago and I have used Bluetooth hands-free headset, transferred files from my old phone and from my netbook without any problems. Haven't tried stereo audio, though.
Got my N4 in the second batch of those available and have no issues pairing with my vehicle. I don't use Bluetooth for anything else, though
Bluetooth generally works, it only screws up from time to time for things like pairing with a new device. It's been more or less this way since JB and generally if you have a regular bluetooth setup of headset, in-car radio etc, it 9/10 works just fine.
Introduce some complications and it does wonk out sometimes. I've had plenty of times where it wouldn't want to pair right to my laptop or desktop after I factory reset my device. Sometimes it just won't get picked up either when BT is on, visible and another device is looking for it.
I believe I remember reading that there was a legit explanation for this regarding drivers and or some security thing but it's been long enough that I don't remember what the details were or where I even read it on XDA. May have even been the GN forums.
I've seen the exact problem indicated by the video on CM 10.1. I just restarted, wiped dalvik and all was well again.
Other than that my BT has been perfect. I use it daily in my car for audio streaming and phone. At home I pair it to my PC for audio streaming and it works perfectly.

I actually haven't run into many issues with Bluetooth. I use it mainly with Jawbones Jambox and it pairs up just fine. I think it may have dropped connection a couple times but less than a handful. I do run into problems when I miss a call from someone though. The audio quits playback though the devices remain paired.

I guess I have issues. I leave BT on all the time and only randomly does it automatically connect when I get in my car. I generally have to go in to the BT settings and click the device to pair with. It identifies the device, but doesn't connect automatically.
On stock 4.2.2, I had issues with BT not connecting at all and it would get stuck in an on/off post ion (it would never fully turn off or turn on when I toggled the switch). I would have to reboot to get it to work. I have yet to see this happen on cm10.1, I just have the automatic connect issue with cm10.1
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I usually have no issues pairing and using. But I definitely have these two issues:
1. BT won't turn on at all (like in the video).
2. I notice my phone hot and draining battery. I look at the BT indicator and it is blue indicating a connection but I'm not connected at all. I only use BT in the car and I'm nowhere near my car. Yet the indicator is blue and my phone is hot.
Either is resolved with a quick reboot. I'm not troubled by it but is annoying at times.
Hi all,
After doing some research on BLE support for Android, I'm somewhat disappointed by the apparent lack of commitment on both Google and Samsung's part to get this sorted out properly, especially given the fact that they advertise BLE support on the product's packaging. By "properly" I mean the ability to find and pair with devices using the device's native Bluetooth Settings menu, not varying support from app to app. There seems to be a bit of information floating around for Nexus and Galaxy S3 devices, but none for the Note 3 - which prompted me to start this thread.
I have a BLE Heart Rate Monitor (Mio Alpha Pro strapless HRM watch) which I have been using to test functionality with my stock, unrooted Galaxy Note 3. Here is a summary of what I've discovered so far:
The Galaxy Note 3 does not find the HRM using the system Bluetooth scan feature,
Samsung's built in "S Health" app does not find/connect to the HRM.
The "BLE Heart Rate Monitor" app in the Play Store finds/connects to the watch fine and receives the HR signal, all without changing the Bluetooth icon's connection status in the notification bar.
Runtastic is the only fitness tracking app that finds and connects to the HRM, with no issue, straight from the app store. Endomondo, Runkeeper, MapMyRun etc have all failed to find and connect to the HRM
xda user dimfish has posted this thread in the Android Software and Hacking General forum, it's a mod that enables BLE conectivity for Fitbit (I am yet to test this, but replies suggest that is working on all 4.3 ROMs).
Given the fact that BLE connectivity works fine on Runtastic (and now Fitbit, with the mod), I am hopeful that native support for all hardware capable Android devices isn't too far away. In the meantime, please share what your thought's experiences are.
Cheers,
BT

no news from app vendors in terms of adding BLE support. Don't much understand why it should be that difficult now that the android 4.3 OS does add support for it. So from the app standpoint it should be quite straight fwd!
It looks like Samsung is backing Ant+ rather than BLE somewhat.
The good news for us competitive cyclists that use Garmin products (Garmin owns Ant+), the Note 3 now ties-in with our heart rate monitors and power meters.
While I don't see me strapping the Note 3 to the handlebars, it can stay in my jersey and record the data.

From a developer point of view, the ANT+ API is much, much simpler to implement than the BLE API. The ANT+ API already handles device discovery and decoding of data events from sensors into the useful data without even reading the Device Profile. You just request access to heart rate, cadence, etc, and then subscribe to the event handlers which pass the data to you decoded. The BLE API still requires a lot of work to do the decoding properly, handling characteristics, etc

Hi BT,
Have you had any success in this since the post. Got the same gear you have and given Alpha MIO says the phone was supported i find this very dissappointing.
Hi mate,
It turns out support for the Alpha is down to application level. I am using it with the latest version of Endomondo and it works as it should. I believe Runtastic works as well, but anything else I can't speak for.
Good luck!

UPDATE: I have Endomondo Premium, Linked with MyFitnessPal and this now works well. I have used it for the past 6 weeks no problem. You need to connect in the right order but this does work.
So, Myfitnesspal is linked to Endomondo Premium (needed for the Heart Rate Monitor)
On first application you need to ADD the Heart Rate Monitor in the Endomondo APP itself, with the Alpha in Workout mode. Make sure you turn WIFI off, on your phone for connection. After the first application the following works everytime
1. Alpha on, put into find heart rate
2. Turn WIFI Off and then Bluetooth on and GPS on (if tracking run or ride)
3. Ignore connection from Native Samsung connection
4. Go into Endomondo, after about 10 secs its then connects
5. Press to start workout mode on the alpha (Endomondo will still track the heart rate and zones even if you forget to put it in workout mode as the app is purely using the Alpha as a heart rate input device.
6. Press Go in Endomondo.
At the end of the training session, do the above in reverse order
I'm reading where the S5 has ANT+ by default and I see where the ANT+ app is installed on my S5. I also see where the Garmin heart rate monitors are listed in the supported devices via the S Health app, but I can't figure out how to get the phone to sync with my HRM? I was thinking it was under bluetooth (the same chip), but it didn't seem to find the HRM when I had BT turned on and was searching.
Anyone else have issues?

I feel like an idiot now. I realized just a few moments ago that you have to pair from WITHIN the app, not from the Bluetooth screen.
Pretty straight forward once I realized that.
Same here,

I've got an Escort SmartRadar detector that I've been using with my Nexus 5. It connects by bluetooth. However, I cannot seem to get it to connect to the 6p. The phone sees the detector and appears to pair. However, there is no actual connection. I don't believe it's an Android 6.0 problem because I was running 6.0 on my Nexus 5. It may be a problem with the Escort software (Escort Live) or with the detector. I put a call into Escort but not answer. I wasn't sure if others had the same problem (or similar problems with other bluetooth devices).
I am having the same issue. Thanks for posting!
I am using escort live with escort 360 max and it seems working perfectly, no error nothing .
I keep escort live in background with waze running on top and I get both the notification of waze n escort live in car bluetooth with some music playing in background. I don't see any problem with connection the only problem i came across was while paring it took me several tries to pair with bluetooth but the app connected fine.
Ever find a fix?
yes. the fix is to load 2.1.3 version, pair with detector and once working load version 2.1.4 which is the latest version. Something with the newest version will not allow pairing but if pair with previous version it works. Good Luck!
