Enable Bluetooth on Raspberry Pi3

mcpat

Can we expect any update to the b+? Waiting since april for an bluetooth update... Payed for license, up to now for nothing...

It is very high in our priority list, but we can't provide any estimations yet.

how high is high?

IKS

@mcpat There are no error messages, so we have no idea where to look for the problem right now 🙁

It's unbelievable that no one owns a bluetooth USB adapter to give us any feedback whether it works or not!
@IKS Is there any plans to make it work?

Bdw: i been waiting for an answer regarding this issue since October 2017 :neutral:

Hello, which USB bt-dongle do you use? I have adapted the config but have not yet found a dongle that works.

roxette

@Mauli, i use MSI bt adapter which works fine using Raspbian & LibreElec after editing the config file.
It even works flawlessly while playing games using Logitech bluetooth keyboard on EmulationStation & Retroarch.
However, it refuses to work on Emteria.
but have not yet found a dongle that works
This means that you tried many bt adapters but none worked?
Or you you are still trying to find an adapter that works?

Similarly, there are also problems with the bluetooth module, turned it off in the system, put usb-bluetooth, but also did not see it. Bluetooth is also important to connect to the car radio. the sound comes with terrible stuttering. Even with wi-fi turned off, although it works perfectly. I tried a lot of firmware the same story. See the problem in my pb3. One of these days I will travel around the city to check different usb-bluetooth can help. I thought at first that it was only my problem.

I have doubt that it's missing driver + missing bt HAL as well.
As it's described in the following logcat
09-06 02:32:40.996 4268 4284 I bt_vnd_conf: Attempt to load conf from /etc/blu
etooth/bt_vendor.conf
09-06 02:32:40.996 4268 4284 D bt_hci : start_up starting async portion
09-06 02:32:40.996 4268 4293 I bt_hci : event_finish_startup
09-06 02:32:40.996 4268 4293 I bt_hci_h4: hal_open
09-06 02:32:40.996 4268 4293 I bt_userial_vendor: userial vendor open: opening
/dev/ttyAMA0

It's configured to open /dev/ttyAMA0 only. (for the built-in bt module)
I was thinking if i can change that in bt_vendor.conf however my bt USB adapter is not recognized because of missing driver.

Here is LibreELEC bt log using the same bt dongle which refuses to work on Emteria, i don't see anything special though :#

Edit: when i switched back to Emteria i noticed that the bt dongle is recognized but it just goes in a loop looking for the built-in bt module.

I have to admit we are not working on this feature right now, as there were no new hints on why it doesn't work :confused: We are going to update to a new kernel first and re-try loading the BT firmware.

Which feature do you mean?
Using bluetooth USB adapter?
Do you have one to test?

IKS

I mean using builtin Bluetooth module on RPi 3B+.
We don't have external USB Bluetooth adapters at our lab :disappointed: Probably we should just purchase one and give it a shot.

Aditya

I am having the same problem with RPi 3B+. Even an external USB BT dongle is not working

I have tried with an external one. Still fails terribly

Jedwards

Connected a obd2 Bluetooth to the rpi 3b but the issue is the device shows up that it paired but it says disconnected under Bluetooth trying to figure where the miscommunication is to why it won't stay active.

Good night!
After reading the comments about the lack of bluetooth connection on the Raspberry pi 3 b +, I do not understand why the technical team has not yet presented a solution regarding bluetooth connection. In the end, we are talking about a paid product !!
If I have not fully discussed this issue, please indicate how to resolve this issue.

IKS

Because some problems are easy to solve and others aren't. We don't have a solution for Bluetooth on B+ yet.

bruno25191

@IKS At least then indicate a palliative solution to have the audio, because at the moment the Raspberry pi3 b + has no audio. The p2's audio is poor in quality with interference. Could you indicate a way to get audio?

IKS

@bruno25191, this topic is about bluetooth. Please feel free to check our forum for audio-related threads and ask your question there.

is you are right about bluetooth it seems to me that there is nothing to disrespect (DOES NOT WORK THE BLUETOOTH OF EMETRIA !!!)
