So I decided to install WSA again after quite a few months of it dying (thanks W Update!) - and it;s all back up and running nicely, with the proper Play Store etc. However I have noticed that Bluetooth STILL isn't supported! I mean what use is WSA if there's no BT as most apps connect to stuff via that (or at least all my robotic apps do) ... has any heard of any progress on getting it implemented? Thanks

I am guessing no news is bad news! All my robots that need blue connections can't be added via WSA :-(

Had to look up what WSA means, pretty sure it wasn't about Surfing. Anyhoo, this article seems to apply to the question:

Interesting - they say WSA Android 13 supports it, but don't point to where to actually download it LOL. Unless they mean the latest official WSA is A13 and supports BT, but then if we need play store (which of course we do to install useful apps) then we can't use the official version.... hmmmm

Mines is manually built so if you know of any apps that can use BT headphones, I can always try it.

I know but what I meant was to check if Bluetooth is working at a minimum.
