Hi Nick, Can you tell me please which devices use ACL Connections, do common bluetooth handsfree devices (like the ones present in cars ) use this transfer protocol?
I am researching this to implement a new functionality on my app Voice Alerts (+info -> http://49ers.es/corbi/voice-alerts) so the app activates automatically when the phone gets connected with a bluetooth headset or car system. i appreciate the help, Best regards.. Alex.
