Bluetooth Peripherals on One Android Phone

Daniel wants to connect headphones, a PTT button, a camera trigger, and a keyboard to one Android phone — all at once. The number everyone quotes (seven) turns out to be an implementation detail in the BLE stack, not a designed feature, and the real constraint is which profiles those devices are competing over. This episode walks through A2DP, HFP, HID, and GATT, explains why "multipoint" means something completely different from what most people assume, and digs into whether Flic buttons and PTT triggers expose the unique identifiers you need to bind a specific button to a specific app. Episode #916497 — open it directly at myweirdprompts.com/916497
