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.
Sent from my Nook HD+ running CM10.1 on emmc.
I forgot to follow up.
I did get this to work eventually. I blind typed the pairing key and it took.
Thanks!

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.

Hi,
I have a strange comportment of my Diamond when I try to pair bluetooth devices whitch have pairing code different of 0000.
Everytime I try to give the pairing code of the device (1234, not changeable), the enterred code in cleared when choosing the "next" button.
(assuming then that code is not needed or is 0000).
Has anybody a solution for this problem ?
Diamond is with original firmware from HTC (the one dowmloadable on there site).
Thanks in advance for your answers
Bouhboulle.
More of the same
I have the same problem (posted earlier). My car's hands-free requires a random code provided during the pairing process, and pairing never succeeds. I understand the Diamond tries 'standard' codes - 0000, 1111, 1234, etc. is there a way to disable this?
Me too
The same for me using Diamond from Vodafone with Vodafone 3D touchflo. I can't pair with any BT device. Please help from anybody.
Thanks a lot.
I do not have this issue.
I can pair with any code on laptop. And my carkit (parrot) just pairs perfect with 1234
BUT
When entered the code, just WAIT, and don't fill it in again. I often see the 'code' field again, and want to enter. Pairing twice gives error etc. Just ignore the empty field, when paired it dissapears.
Think its a tiny bug.
Still the same...
Hi Riel.
There is no option to enter the code twice, once you press next automatically deletes the field and acts as an enter.
BUT, surprisingly, I have installed a cooked ROM and the same again... I now have my doubts about the BT application, I think is the original one from the OS and not an cooked accessory.
I hope that anybody reading this could put some light on it as is one of the strangest behaving I've seen around PDAs in many years.
Thanks for any help.
Its strange my diamond works fine with parrot kit but not with my bt kit
anyone knw why,
Here is the solution
Go Start/settings/connections/bluetooth/right down press security tab and uncheck passkey
Doesn't work, for me at least...

Thanks for the answer but I have tried and doesn't work. On the screen says this is for infrared connections, or am I lost?.
Cheers.
EDIT: I got it finally but the only way is to flash the original ROM and later the one you like. Also remember that some devices does not support more than one pairing partner, this happened to me with a Nokia BT headset, I had to refresh it.
Good luck.
My phone wouldn't recognize my new Plantronics Discovery 925 headset. I tried pairing with a samsung headset too, it wouldn't recognize that either. But my phone recognizes other phones and works fine. Please help.

First and foremost, what ROM are you running? Are you on stock? Rooted? What modifications have you made, as those are the most likely culprits.
If the answer to all the above questions (save for stock) are no then I perhaps asking Plantronics or google about your phone/headset might work better as its likely that one or the other is defective.
I bought the phone only a week back and I have not made any changes to it. In fact my friend and I got our phones together. His phone is not recognizing the headset too. But my headset works fine with other phones of any make.
I have and use that specific headset on my Nexus S. And it works and pairs right away. Have you tried resetting the bluetooth before pairing?

Did you do anything particular before connecting your headset or did it just show up on the devices list?
Resetting the bluetooth as in switching on and off? Yes, I did.

Sorry, I dont understand. How do i set the headset to pairing mode? Please explain.
Folks, I finally managed to pair my headset with the phone. It is working fine now. Here is what I was doing wrong. I was trying to pair my device with the phone by just switching on the device and scanning for devices on my phone. When I try to scan, the device would not show up on the list.
This is because, the device was not in pairing mode. In the Plantronics Discovery 925, you need to switch off the device, power it on back by holding the power button and keep holding it until it flashes red and blue. This is when the device gets into pairing mode and it shows up on the phone's list. All this has to be done while the phone's bluetooth is ON and it is scanning for devices.
Hope this might help someone. My thanks to all those who cared to reply.
That's great you figured it out.
but here's for future reference:
Plantronics Discovery 925 (Pairing)
Pairing the Plantronics Discovery 925 to Your Cell Phone
1.Put your phone into pairing mode
This can usually be accomplished by going under settings in your menu and selecting Bluetooth. Follow the prompts to "find a new device." If you are having problems, refer to your phone's user guide.
2.Put your Discovery 925 into pairing mode
Start with your headset off. Press and hold the call button until the indicator flashes red and blue.
3.Select the headset in your phone's Bluetooth device menu and enter in universal key
Your phone may or may not ask you to enter in a key code. If it does, the code is always four zeros: 0000
4.You are paired up!
That is a rather ridiculous process, with my motorola I just have to flip the mic boom open and it works.

It's probably straightforward for some brands, not with others. My Jabra BT3030 still needs passcode entry for the initial pairing. After that, just turning it on pairs it with the unit.

Uh what? They're talking about the pairing process, you're talking about the connection process. Every bluetooth device every created in the history of mankind has to go through a pairing process. After the initial pairing, they all connect to each other automatically, your motorola is no different.
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.

I've got an Apple BT keyboard, and can get it to successfully pair with my Nook, but nothing else. I've tried using BlueKeyboard JP, and it sees the keyboard as well, but when I go to an input window, it says "Connecting, do not touch keyboard...", then after that goes away, its notification message says it's there but disconnected. This is really the last thing I want to get working on my NC before I'm really happy with it, but am kind of at a loss. Any suggestions? Thanks! Oh, and I'm running the latest nightly (160).
I've gotten my Apple BT Keyboard (came with my iMac) to pair, but keyboard does nothing.
(do not pair with a CM modded phone, causes the phone to bootloop unless you keep the keyboard far far away from it or disable bt on the phone or poweroff the keyboard etc.)
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+?
