I need a way to make my esp32 add an event to my Google calendar via Bluetooth. The idea is that it periodically syncs some events to my Google calendar, or deletes others.

I like to use Android auto but I have a Bluetooth headset for calling and listening. I can't find a way to have both work at the same time. Any suggestions?

I work in cybersecurity, including penetration testing, and I need examine how a phone interacts with proprietary hardware via BTE. What are the go-to tools these days?

Hello,

I want to create a system which will alert me when a dog gets close (within 5-10m) of any sheep. I have BLE 5.0 tags on the sheep (range 100m).

Assuming I have a custom device with a Bluetooth transceiver on the dog, how can I approximate distance from the dog to any given sheep? Ideally it would not require pairing since the number of sheep might exceed the cap on paired devices (I think the limit was 7 last I looked).

I was thinking signal strength could be an approximation. Not looking for any precision just need to know when dog gets too close.

Kind regards

I have a low end bluetooth soundbar with sub woofer and have been using it since past 6-8 months with my PC. Yesterday, suddenly the sound stopped coming from the soundbar. I thought it died but then i connected it to my phone and it worked fine. I thought the problem is in my PC then so I connected a bluetooth headset and that worked fine with my PC.

So if both of them work fine independently, why isnt any sound coming from the speakers despite being paired and connected as an audio device.

(Even the sound line in sound mixer is moving while some video plays)

Can anybody help please?

I visited an electronics store to find Bluetooth ear muffs two days ago. I wanted something modern and useful. I also wanted outdoor comfort. But when I checked the ear muffs I felt disappointed. Some looked good but features were unclear. Some were expensive. I could not trust them. I could not decide confidently.

Then I visited another shop in the same area. Some ear muffs looked better but battery life was weak. Some were affordable but sound quality was low. Some seemed perfect at first but connection was unstable. I remembered I used a device last time that stopped working quickly. That made me hesitate even more.

To check more variety and options while scrolling many online marketplaces including alibaba I found many Bluetooth ear muffs. Some looked advanced and useful. Some were simple and low price. Some had better features and connectivity. There were many options available. This made me excited but also confused again.

Now I am thinking should I buy Bluetooth ear muffs online or trust local stores for testing features? What would you do in my place?

I often leave my phone in a different room of the house. I still want to use my headphones , or have my Garmin watch sync, or what have you, from these other rooms, but the furthest ends of the house are out of range.

Heck, it'd be nice even to use headphones while I'm out doing yard work, while my phone is inside.

Is there like a docking cradle or something that will enable me to extend my phone's Bluetooth range?

Hi everyone,

I’m having a strange issue with my T3 Pro earbuds.

When I open the case, they connect to my iPhone automatically every time with no issues. But on my Windows 11 laptop, they usually keep switching between connected and disconnected repeatedly.

To get them working, I normally have to open Bluetooth settings in Windows, wait until it shows disconnected, and then manually click Connect. After that, they stay connected.

This happens about 9 out of 10 times. Only once in a while do they connect properly by themselves.

Has anyone experienced this before or found a fix?

Thanks in advance.

To get straight to the point; my girlfriend likes to sleep while on Instagram call since we're long distance currently. The issue is, I have tinnitus and like wearing my manta Bluetooth sleep mask 2.0 to play rain sounds while I sleep. This used to work perfectly fine, we would sleep on call so she feels safe, and I have rain sounds with a mix of snoring in my ears which I find relaxing as well.

Now that's out of the way, onto the actual problem:

For some reason recently, my sleep mask has been disconnecting and reconnecting constantly, as in it will change the output from phone to sleep mask on loop but only while in a call (it works perfectly normal outside of call), making it almost impossible to sleep.

Just wondering if anyone would know a possible way to fix this? I've been trying to fix it for a month with no luck.

Extra details in hopes it helps:

- I use a google pixel 10 pro xl

- It stopped working after I tried setting it up on my laptop to have my mic pickup from my laptop and play sound through the mask which worked fine, but now it doesn't even work on the laptop or any other devices after that night

- I've fully reset the sleep mask, Bluetooth settings, and disconnected it from every single device it's been connected to

- 95% sure it's the mask doing it, since all other Bluetooth devices don't do it but the mask does it in every device I own

- I used to have the original Manta Bluetooth sleep mask that I used for it as well but it started to get a little old so I replaced it with the newer model. I tried using it again since this problem happened, and guess what? That doesn't work either

If someone can please help, I feel like I'm going insane over this

Some months ago my WiFi configuration started to have problems: it doesn't apear in the taskbar and, when I try to look at it from the configuration itself, it crashes and exit the configuration at all everytime I try to look at the WiFi configuration and it just happen with that one. I tried today to repair and restart the WiFi, ethernet, vpn etc the whole network and just enter again my WiFi... just to find that it didn't restart with that at all and my WiFi was still connected and working, and the crash is still happening.

It didn't bothered me so much since my WiFi connection is okay and I don't usually have a lot of problems with it, so I didn't spent too much time trying to fix it. I started to worry when today my Bluetooth started to have problems as well: Everyday, I connect my earphones with bluetooth. Every single day, and today it just wouldn't. The earphones work fine, I can connect them to my phone and they sound and all. I tried to delete the earphones and vinculate them again, and, having my bluetooth activated, it says that I cant vinculate anything without activating my bluetooth. I tried to repair this too and it just say that there is something wrong that couldn't be fixed.

Pls someone that knows alternative ways to fix it or what can be happening, even understanding what's wrong could help me, I also have friends that know how to manage these things so anything u know could help me.

MBA M2 on Ventura.

Got a Lypertek, a Monster and a Soundcore set of headsets and.

Today it started to sound out oh phase, thin and wobbly, like when you transform a MP3 several times and it sounds worse every generation, only this is live, on all sets.

1/8" sounds perfect direct to SOundcore, and every app that handles audio (IINA, Spotify, Apple Music) just sounds like thru a tube.

I killed BT thru Terminal 2 times, no dice. Turned off BT and on again, same thing.

I wonder if this is a known issue, I have done the dance several times today with everything sounding like underwater movie effects.

Any comment is appreciated.

I have a bluetooth car radio and whenever I connect my phone to it (Motorola Edge 60) the sound is quiter than to FM (even though my phone is at max volume).

Than my friend with an IPhone connected to it and it sounded louder and better, why???

I bought a pc and idk why but nothing is showing up on the Bluetooth thingy when its searching for devices, in my old pc a bunch of stuff would show up even if what i was trying to connect wouldn't show up and yes i did try devices and printer settings still dosent show up (i am trying to connect my sony heaphones)

I recently got a new stereo head from Amazon -China because factory touchscreen stopped working. I have a 2016 Jeep Patriot. I bought used. Uconnect Bluetooth. When I bought it, Bluetooth music had a 6 second delay and phone calls were great. Now that I got the new stereo head, it's the opposite. Music plays fine but now I have a delay in phone calls. I cannot, for the life of me find any info on solving this but maybe I'm not use the right key words.

Is it a wiring issue, possibly?

I've tried everything, I think. Updated software, connected/ reconnected...

Help!!
