Bluetooth Bug with Android Head Units

[kzimmer]

Hello @Quadzilla Power,

 

I really think it's time we deal with this problem. I've brought this up in the past, but I haven't pushed the issue hard enough. I'm willing to lend some time to help with this wherever possible. I know this is a common problem, and I know it's isolated to the iQuad app.

 

On my Android device in my truck (Android Head Unit), running 4.4.x or 5.x.x, iQuad will not see ANY bluetooth devices. The app itself, has no communication with bluetooth devices. I can even pair the iQuadBT device, no problem. Pairs fine. My phone pairs fine. My OBD2 scanner pairs fine, and works with Torque Pro. I have taken the necessary steps to make sure the iQUADBT is allowed to pair. My bluetooth manager on the device sees any bluetooth device nearby. When iQuad says it's looking for devices, it doesn't find any, whether they are paired or not.

 

I can't stress enough, that iQuad is the only issue on this device. Everything else works flawlessly. Please help get this sorted out. Let me know what you need from me for information and I'll get it to you as soon as I can.

 

When we get this one fixed, maybe we can sort out why the logs won't export on these devices.

 

Thank you in advance,

-Kole

Hi @kzimmer,

 

Have you tried updating to the latest version of the app? We have been working to solve this issue, and believe the latest update should fix this problem! Thank you

I am currently on the latest app from the app store as of Aug 16th. Is there another update? Sorry for the late response, I didn't get a notification of your post.

@Quadzilla Power I have verified this problem is not fixed. Just tried the latest app from the app store on Android 4.4.4, and tried upgrading to 5.1.1. No change. Phone connects on Bluetooth. OBD2 Bluetooth device connects. IQuad even appears to pair. But the app has no communication with the Bluetooth service, and does not find any devices.

@kzimmer We will do some more testing on our side and see if we can fix this issue in our next update. Sorry for the delayed response!

No worries, thank you for keeping up with this. If I can help in any way, please let me know. I'm well versed with Android and can handle moderate tasks, USB ADB, etc. I also have root access if needed. And if you want me to test any changes, I can.

Well, rather than waiting for this to be fixed, I bought a new Android head unit with a newer version of Android. This is still a problem for other people, I just couldn't wait for a fix anymore.
