when Sprint brings the new Gingerbread update? I have seen where a bluetooth mouse works on some devices that have HID. I tried one a couple weeks ago and it didn't.
Then I have seen a USB adapter that says you can hook up an external mouse thorugh it.
I didn't know if the upgrade would make these devices work.
Bluetooth HID should mean that you can pair a Bluetooth mouse, and a ps3 controller
someone should work on that
Found it....sweet... did not want to be one of those guys that gives up and just makes a new thread..... so updated my tab today......features were..... HID Bluetooth and gingerbread.....which turned out pretty good tab does not lag as much scrolling through home screens and app drawer.... here's the million dollar question....any of you out there bought that Brando Keyboard Case and still have it??.... is it good to go? Can I buy one now and an icontrolpad? That would be freakin epic.....

More bluetooth woes from another Sprint Galaxy Tab user
Anyone been able to pair and connect their bluetooth keyboard since the Sprint update to Gingerbread?
I've been touch n go with one OEC model (no name brand). Bought a Motorola Wireless Keyboard last night and while the Tablet would recognize it, it wouldn't allow me the time to type in the passkey. It would go straight to error.
Here are my Sprint Tablet (7) specs:
Model:SPH-P100
Firmware version 2.3.4
Kernel: 2.6.35.7
Build: GINGERBREAD.EF17
On a seperate note, I was able to pair it with my HTC Evo, but not connect.
I'm beginning to suspect that Sprint didn't include the HID as I had read or I'm just an noobie idiot...appreciate the assistance either way.

Hey,
sorry if this has been discussed already. I searched but couldn't find an answer.
I am wondering if I can tether the Galaxy tab from my blackberry Storm. ie. share the data from the Storm with the Tab.
I know about rooting the phone and changing the setting to allow wifi tethering. It seems to me that this only applies when tethering an Android device to the Tab via wifi. This wouldn't work with my phone because it doesn't have bluetooth.
So is there a way to provide internet to the tab via bluetooth from the Storm?
I tried blutooth thethering to my rooted droid eris and never got it to work. I went wifi a few day ago and it works well.

hope it works. I don't want to buy a new phone, atleast not yet!
can anyone help?
I tried Bluetooth tethering with my iphone 4 and was able to pair to recognize the iphone 4 and also on the iphone the galaxy pad was recognized however if you try to connect - the iphone 4 does not connect even though the Galaxy tab says it is paired.
Not sure what is the issue here. I read in the other issues with Bluetooth keyboard that they also have issues pairing certain keyboards.
I too want to use my iphone 4 data plan on the galaxy tab for data usage.
Anyone tried this or experience same problem?
Thanks
I m using the application "bluetooth file transfer" on my htc hero and it works just fine. And no need to root.
Didn't try on my tab though
Edit: sorry didn't read your post well thought you wanted to share files..
It disheartens me to see no activity in this thread. I'm really hoping for a bluetooth tethering option for my Blackberry (company won't give us any other option). Can't BB and Android just get along?!
Can anyone explain what the issue is with the Galaxy Tab and Bluetooth tethering?
They apparently have it working fine on the Xoom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=968801
Why would it work there and not with Galaxy Tabs?
Not sure why this had to be done by Google in Xoom stock rom. Archos had has this feature. At first it would not work with BB. Then a forum member discovered the issue was the compression parameter. Recently archos incorporated this fix in the newest firmware and BB are tethering fine now.
Ordered a Galaxy Tab today. I will see if I can figure this out once it's here...
I've played with this issue on Archos Tab.
If someobody wants to play with this, here's some info on how we got it to work see here:

Hi
I have no problem on my blackberry 9780. I can tether this devices internet connection via bluetooth. the app name is PdaNet. Along with this app you can tether blackberry's connection to any device via bluetooth. It was successfull with my ex tablet.
however I couldnt manage to connect my galaxy tab. the issue to solve is the tab.
if we can find to connect this table via bluetooth (for internet sharing), the problem would be solved.
anyone has a solution?
thnx
I was wondering if it possible to connect wireless (2.4GHz Micro Receiver) mouse Logitech V400 to Galaxy Tab.
Mouse in question is this
http://www.everythingusb.com/logitech_v400_laser_cordless_notebook_mouse.html
Any app that can simulate the receiver dongle?
No luck - I think
The Tab does not have either an IR or Radio transmitter that can send/receive a 2.4Ghz signal.
Why not get a bluetooth mouse? - mine works fine with the tab
Software to simulate a wireless receiver dongle? Um, no
As Bert says, you can just a bluetooth mouse, or you can try and track down the USB socket adaptor that Samsung was supposed to release for the SGT. I don't know if it's ever actually officially been released but if you want to try and use what is essentially a standard USB device, it might be your only option.

Nah... it's not possible. Just get a decent Bluetooth mouse... but check first if your ROM has the necessary HID support... I think the Verizon ROM makes problems in that case...
Just ask a friend who has a bluetooth mouse if you may try it, so you can be sure if the purchase of a new mouse (they are rather cheap though) pays off.
Just don't try Apple's Magic Mouse. I failed at pairing (Euro Tab, unlocked, unbranded, stock ROM)
T-Mo tab takes bluetooth mouse and keyboard. As soon as you pair, the cursor shows up. It's actually quite good.
Magic mouse to samsung gtab p1000
I was able to connect an apple magic mouse and Hid bt keyboard. The keyboard works great, the mouse scrolls and all, but no mouse pointer!;( im using a CM7 beta kang ROM. Ive seen posts for themouse pointer for cm7 but only for the evo4g, cant find anything for thep1000. If anyone knows please tell me, i would donate for this thank you.
wait, a magic mouse? I thought it would only run in Mac OSX and Windows!

Theres a difference between a wireless mouse and a bluetooth mouse. Wireless is a no-go.
use otg cable
Are there any wireless mouses out there that work well with the TMobile Galaxy Tab? I have the samsung dock and love it I just need a mouse to complete it! Help!

I think you will need a bluetooth mouse. I have a "ThinkPad Bluetooth Laser Mouse" at home. Worked fine, but I just made a quick test and don't use it generally.
Is there a store that they are sold at or is it online? Thanks for the help

Bluetooth pointing devices can be paired with the 7" Tab w/ Froyo, look for YouTube videos for proof.
One guy has a video showing a Logitech BT keyboard w/ integrated touchpad, and it works fine (search for "galaxy tab hdmi", and it should be one of the first vids by a British guy).
Pairing a Bluetooth pointing device (mouse, trackball, whatever) works and when connected, you will indeed get the familiar arrow-style mouse pointer on the screen. Even scrolling will work.
As a side note, a desktop-spec BT keyboard will do more than just type characters; for example, the Escape (ESC) key is like our back button, and the home hey is like our home button... and the cursor direction keys will move around from icon to icon on the screen.
I use an iGo folding BT keyboard, but I've been looking for an ultra-portable BT mouse for my Tab.... any recommendations are welcome.
I'm using a Logitech V470 CORDLESS Laser Bluetooth Mouse and it's working great with my Galaxy Tab.
Additional I'm using a Microsoft BLUETOOTH Mobile Keyboard 6000 (also working very well but German Umlaute (äöü) are a bit complicated because the SGT normaly only supports QWERTY BT-keyboards.)

I like the Mogo PC Card Mouse
Before I flashed Overcome I used a Mogo PC Card Mouse with my Froyo Galaxy Tab. Worked great eventhough I had to buy a USB adapter cord to charge the darn thing. It was compact and easy to pair, fit nicely in my pocket, etc.
After flashing Overcome however, I haven't been able to get the card mouse to pair. Anyone have any suggestions?
Anyway, while awaiting a solution to the pairing issue I dug my "really old" Think Outside Stowaway Travel Mouse out of the drawer, installed new batteries and viola! It paired and works great. It's just not as compact as the PC Card Mouse.
You can search for either "Bluetooth PC Card Mouse" or "Bluetooth Travel Mouse" on any of the electronic sales websites. A bluethooth mouse and keyboard are both indespensible to get full functionality out of your tab.
Have looked but not found. Once the Nook Color is rooted does it use the HID bluetooth profile or the SPP bluetooth profile? Or another profile? And does it vary depending on what one uses to root?
I need to know to think about/try bluetooth keyboards. (If it matters, planning to root with Cyanogen mod either on my own or buying chip. Probably on my own with Sandisk Class 4 16GB.)
Thanks guys and will share what I learn.

You need to have CM7 rather than just be rooted. It is CM7 that added support for the bluetooth hardware that was in the Nook but was not used until CM7 developers turned it on.
Range of operation can be quite limited and varies from device to device. I successfully use a mini bluetooth keyboard/touchpad (iPazzPort) which connects with a HID profile. This device works well up to about 8 feet away.
Where did you get the keyboard?
Sent from my MB520 using xda premium
You can get them via Amazon. Search for "iPazzport Bluetooth". Be careful to look for the Bluetooth version as they do a very similar model which works via non-bluetooth RF with a special dongle. The model I got is something like KP-810-10-BTT and it has built in touchpad, laser pointer and a USB Bluetooth dongle. They do other models with just keyboards but I liked having the touchpad as well.
I actually got mine on eBay saving a bit more over the Amazon sourced version. I think I paid about $26.
As well as Nook usage I found it works well as a little remote keyboard into my Media Center PC, although I am now using the Nook itself with the Universal Remote App as a remote control for this as well.
Did anybody paired a mouse to the Vivid? Any recommendations?
I already use my old Motorola BT keyboard, does anyone knows if I can pair a mouse and a keyboard in the same time? Don't know if BT allows multiple connections...

Why would you want to use a mouse with a phone? I don't think the phone even has a mouse cursor!
I think it does. I want to use HDMI out on my TV, and use it that way. Also watching YouTube and use the mouse to scroll and select from the couch or bed, more like a remote...

I haven't tried it, but I'm dying to see if the ps3 bluetooth remote works. Bluetooth mice didn't fare so well, tried syncing both the Apple Magic Mouse and a old Kensington bluetooth mouse, both paired but did nothing
