Won't pair with my HD+. Keyboard works fine with my Galaxy Note and the Nook seems to pair fine with my notebook. Any ideas?
I have the Think Outside Stowaway Universal Bluetooth keyboard, this thing came out since 2004 I think, and I have no problem with any thing pairing with it yet. I originally brought it for my Nokia 770 and N800 back then.

Good old trusty...
Quick update: it looks like there's a request to confirm pairing pin that's not showing. I was attempting to pair it again and noticed when I pressed enter on the Bluetooth keyboard I immediately got a pop-up on the Nook stating that it was unable to pair because of an incorrect pin.
Update: I see similar comments on B&N's site. No pin pop-up. Also happens with other keyboards (Logitech K810 for example). Some have reported other bluetooth keyboards working.
I'm going to say that I had similar troubles pairing with my phone, had to do it on the phone, not the tablet, pairing request didn't show properly...

Is there an answer to this that doesn't require rooting?
Or what keyboards have people found to work with the nook HD+?
Google Play App Solves Bluetooth Keyboard Problems
I had the same problem, but with different hardware, an iHome "mac compatible" keyboard. Bluekeyboard worked for me

Hey guys,
How come when I pair up my Microsoft Notebook 5000 Bluetooth mouse, CM7 just literally FREEZES. It pairs fine, says it's paired, then BAM, frozen.
Anyone else have this issue and know how to fix?
Thanks!
EDIT: Okay, got CM7 to stop freezing, but now it just pairs, connects and then unconnects. WiiMote was painless, but a Mouse is a PITA. Anyone have tips?
EDIT 2: After a dozen attempts, it decided to pair.
EDIT 3: When turning on my mouse, it instantly pairs, and freezes CM7 to a lock. Does no one else have this problem? Hello? Anyone out there?
I have this same thing happen with two different brands of mouse, Logitech Mx1000 and a generic Inland BT mouse. I don't know the fix but I'm seeing the same shenanigans as you. It'll freeze every version of CM7 and Phiremod I've tried, and if I restart the Nook and turn the mouse back on, the system will lock up again as soon as the "connection arrows" appear on the sides of the Bluetooth icon in the status bar.
Same here but with a speaker phone. Shame. I was hoping to call out with Skype.

Same boat here - I have a Lenovo BT N6901 mouse which I use together with HP BT Keyboard KT-1087. I had to force shut down 3 or 4 times today.
This is how I finally get it to work - power off the keyboard and mouse, then reboot NC - then go to settings and enable BT and connect each of the devices one by one.
Occasionally, sometimes I have luck with deleting both devices and then pairing one device first or other. Just keep retesting.

Hello all
I thought i would let you know of my set up i have for my nexus 7, ever since day 1 on nexus ownership the desktop has been un used, it is such a amazing tablet, far better that ipads and other android tabs which ive owned.
if anyone is looking for a do-it-all set up i have to let you know of mine.
I wanted a Bluetooth keyboard so i got the Logitech android Bluetooth keyboard which was great, after a bit of use i thought i would get a Bluetooth mouse as i didn't want USB cables all over, so i got the Microsoft wedge tough, such a weird mouse, but it is fantastic. The problem was lag, when i had both the keyboard and mouse on (both Bluetooth) they keyboard kept lagging, for example if i typed android it would look like andrrrrrrrrrrrrrroid. this was so annoying so i got the wedge Bluetooth keyboard, again a fantastic keyboard and connected them both, the problem was still there so i experimented with some applications and i found one which solved the problem, if anyone is having the same issue then download external keyboard helper, ever since i got this app i have had no problems, i have seen a few threads so i thought this would hopefully help people out.
If you are looking for a keyboard and mouse combo, go out and get the Microsoft wedge touch and keyboard, there expensive yes, but they are so good, and get hold of the app, currently I'm using the demo version and it has solved the problem, but if anyone has tried the full can you let me know how good it is and whether it is worth forking out the few quid
For audio i sue the Logitech Bluetooth audio hub, so i can use my half decent creative t40's wirelessly both on my nexus 7 my one x and with my desktop, even with the 3 Bluetooth devices connected to my nexus 7 i still have not encountered any other issue with bandwidth or lagging anymore.
i hope this helps some people out there that were experiencing the same problem that i was if anyone needs any help with the Bluetooth problem on JB then let me know and ill help out to the best of my abilities

Does the app work with the Logitech keyboard and other mice?
---------- Post added at 12:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 PM ----------
How well is the microsoft mobile keyboard optimized for Android?
i got the helper pro, it helped alot but still have the issue of when both bt keyboard and bt mouse are connected the browser freezes, restarts.
i have tried mouse and keyboard individually and are 100% perfect on there on.
i still get aaaaaa but rarely with KHP and both bt Kb/mouse connected.
tried usb keyboard with otg cable and bt mouse all was perfect
incidentally for those wanting to fix this it must be with n7/jb as the bt mouse and bt KB work perfect on my htc one x when used in the same configuration as we have the problem on the n7/jb
Spot on!

You Sir, are a legand. I have purchased the same KB and mouse and was very frustarted with the lag., I still have some lag with the mouse, but this is now a very useable setup, loving it!
Pairs and connects, but input is not working. Anyone have any idea why?

Just my 2 cents, but I have a few devices that pair and never connect. I have an iHome Bluetooth keyboard that works perfectly. but a USB game controller that doesn't. I can pair it with my Milestone phone, but it doesn't do anything.
Fact of the matter is, some things work and some things don't.
I know this isn't exactly helpful. There is also a list of "Known functional devices"... but some things on that list don't work for my NC either.

Poor quality control on the manufacture's part. I went through four BT keyboard/cases for my 10 inch tablet before I got one that works.
The NC doesn't have the strongest Bluetooth radio as that was not intended to be used when the device was first released.
I too have had mixed experiences with different devices.

So I connected my Apple Wireless Keyboard to my HD+ over Bluetooth and it pairs fine, connects, but then doesn't actually work. I can't type anything. Any suggestions? Thanks.

You have to enable the use of the Bluetooth keyboard first before you can use it. To do this go to Settings->Language & Keyboard then check the box for Bluetooth and make sure no other keyboard apps are checked. Your should now be able to type things with your Bluetooth keyboard, I would suggest taking a look at this guide for more information on pairing and using a Bluetooth keyboard.

Any progress? My apple wireless keyboard(A1314 - 2AAA battery needed) acts like yours.
It seems paired but none of keys are working.
Tested on stock ROM (2.1.0) and CM 10.1(20130615 and 20130624).
None yet. I'll keep you posted. My friend got the Anker Super Slim and it works without blueinput on CM10.1

Forget it. I gave up apple wireless keyboard and bought imation BKB-232.
Works like a charm.
Has anyone tried pairing a bluetooth keyboard to their HD+?
I'm running 10.1.3RC2 and trying to pair a Motorola bluetooth android keyboard. I can get it to show up in the devices list when searching, but it always fails to pair. I never get the security key dialog.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Try turning off wifi while you try to pair.

I did get this to work eventually. I blind typed the pairing key and it took.

Are you serious even in CM10.1 the security key dialog does NOT show up? This isn't good because I have a logitech keyboard which randomly generates a security key and I wanted to try installing CM10 to pair it but from what you're saying that won't help me in the slightest.
Can anyone follow up on this I really don't want to go through the trouble of shipping this back i just want to make it work, it's just a shame I'm stuck because a stupid dialog box won't pop up.

I never saw one, I figured I didn't have anything to lose trying it.
I just did a complete reinstall(did a factory reset + format /system) so I think it's probably lost the pairing. I'll re-do it and report back how it goes.
This time it'd be on 10.1.3.
Ok gave it a try. So, interesting...what I thought was blind entering the pair code last time might not have been it.
Once I figured out how to get my keyboard to reset and try pairing again, the tablet saw it and just paired immediately.
On the one hand, it sorta seems like it remembered the pairing from previously, but that seems unlikely, as powering the keyboard on and off several times, it did not ever autopair.
But it didn't ever ask me for a pairing key this time, but maybe it just tries 0000 by default?
TLDR:
it paired without asking me for a key, but I didn't enter a key either.

Hm maybe that keyboard doesn't require it or doesnt show a dialog because it's always 0000 but unfortunately the logitech keyboard randomly generates a 6-digit code everytime which is super annoying. Didn't really want to modify the nook but if i had some hope it would pair I'd just do it.
I'm not sure if anyone can give me an answer about CM10 allowing me to see the pairing code, but is anyone familiar with the app Bluetooth keyboard easyconnect? I'm not really sure what the app does but someone on another forum made it seem like that may be a solution to a problem someone else was having.
Edit: I went ahead and installed CM10.1 using the install guide for dummies just to chance it and I'd like to confirm that with the logitech keyboard the 6-digit Pairing code DOES appear now and is completely 100% usable. Hopefully anyone who may be searing for info on this topic in the future will find this post helpful.
So my keyboard will pair but I can't get it to work for input. Works fine with my laptop.
