I'm on stock unrooted MRA58R and bluetooth, for the most part, works just fine. I have two audio devices paired and a pebble smartwatch, which all function flawlessly.
Recently, I tossed a bluetooth keyboard into the mix (make that two).
The two keyboards I've tried so far is the "Logitech Tablet Keyboard" and the Logitech K380 (which is brand new).
Both devices pair just fine, But they do NOT connect!
I've tried clearing data/cache for bluetooth share, rebooting, toggling airplane mode, toggling bluetooth, un-pairing and re-pairing, and both keyboards work fine on a kindle fire HD6(FireOS 5) and my old LG G3 (running 5.1.1 LP) as well as my windows 10 laptop.
Something is seriously wrong.
If someone could point me towards a log that i can pull which bluetooth errors dump to, i'll gladly provide it.
TL;DR: i've tried every trick in the book but my N6 still does not play nice with bluetooth keyboards.
EDIT: Here's my logcat capture when i attempted to connect the keyboard: http://pastebin.com/sr0i4PPk
SOLVED. by... well.. myself.
I COMPLETELY forgot that I was running a custom kernel until i saw this fly through my logcat:
Code:
11-16 22:57:14.456 9661 9821 E bt_btif : bta_hh_co_open: Error: failed to open uhid, err:No such file or directory
Which gave hint to a missing HID driver.
Downloaded a kernel that contained a compatible HID driver, and now it works like a charm. (Which happened to be Despair Kernel R38. Thanks bro!)
Side note: i'm unrooted because i like to use android pay, but still have a custom kernel for the added features and benefits over stock. As long as i keep SE Linux enforcing, android pay is a happy camper.

it pairs fine with my Archos, and the nook (flashed to CM7-177) detects it and attempts to pair but never finishes.
any ideas? do I need to "unpair" from the archos (which is in another room with BT off and I power cycled the KB...)
I am having the same problem. HP touchpad keyboard will not pair. Also tried it with my LG Optimus V phone -- won't pair with that either.
My NC is running CM7.
The phone is rooted stock android.
Any ideas?
Download bluekeyboard jp in the market, its free. My nook would detect the ipad keyboard, but would never pair with it until I downloaded bluekeyboard jp.
hope this helps.
To pair, type in a code on the NC, then press power on the keyboard, then the code, then enter.

Are you referring here to the Apple Wireless Keyboard? If yes, would you mind giving me the exact steps you're using to make it work? I've tried everything, including using bluekeyboard jp, it says connected and paired, I choose it as my input method, android keyboard disappears, message tells me not to touch my keyboard as it's connecting, and still nothing happens when I try using the keyboard. Am I missing something obvious?
Edit: got it working, don't know what I did that made it finally happen (except ask for help). Had tried so many times. Happiness!
I got one the other day from OD, it paired up after a few tries, I didn't enter anything on the keyboard, I just entered 0000 as the code. If it doesn't work, keep powering it off and rescanning. I'm running CM7 as well.
Would definately like to figure out how to remap the WebOS buttons to android functions.
I recently purchased an HDMI cable to use my Bionic with, and alongside it, I also have an Acer AK00LB bluetooth tablet keyboard that I purchased for my Android devices. I have used this keyboard with everything; it works perfectly with my computer and the base Android OS on the Bionic. However, when I pair and attempt to use it with the Webtop mode enabled, the entire phone crashes from anywhere to a few seconds to a minute of use. It doesn't do this unless the Bluetooth keyboard is connected and typed on. I don't know whether it's the custom ROM I have installed, a problem with the webtop itself, or the keyboard. Has anyone else run into this problem?
I am using:
An Acer AK00LB IconiaTab keyboard.
ROM: [R3]BLURR3D v2.0
The Webtop is base. I have not tried reflashing the webtop partition yet.
I am also using Webtop2SD and the appropriate 'ubuntu expansion' packages.
If someone can tell me where the webtop might store core dumps or log files, I can pull them off and post them.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
hey guys I've been searching for a solution all day and I'm out of ideas.
my bluetooth keyboard came in the mail today and for some reason it refuses to work on cm9. the keyboard works perfectly with my netbook, my friends iphone, his ipad, and even booted into webOS but when I'm booted into cm9 nothing happens. I can successfully pair it and it says its connected in the settings but none of the buttons respond. Does anyone know what the problem might be?
edit: forgot to mention I also tried wiping and flashing a new rom. tried both cm9 alpha 2 and aokp m4. same problem on both.
I don't know if this will help, but I've got a Motorola BT keyboard that is designed for android that doesn't work directly with WebOS (or Windows for that matter). To get it to work with WebOS I have to press and hold the 'V', 'A' and 'R' keys when I turn it on.
Perhaps your keyboard has some similar way of selecting alternate platforms?

nope that doesn't work :[.
so I tried my friends bluetooth keyboard and it works great. It seems android 4.0.3 on touchpad seems to be partial to certain keyboards..

So what keyboards are compatible with HP touchpad? I'm thinking of ordering one next week but don't want to waste the money on one that doesn't work.
Specifically it's an ION iCade. I've tested on stock, CM, and SlimLP, and it doesn't work. It is able to pair and connect, but beyond that it just does nothing. It will pair and type on my iPhone but not my Fire. I have tried unchecking and rechecking the "Input device" option, and it says "Connected to input device", but it doesn't show up in "Language & input" (though I'm not sure if it's supposed to.) I have tested mame4droid and mame4droid reloaded as well on every rom (on the slim chance that it's being recognized as a controller, not keyboard) and it has the same problem -- nothing happens.
Edit: I have also tried an app called Bluetooth Keyboard Bug Fix (com.heightdev.ganhou), and it didn't do anything to help either.
I'm quite new to Android (first device I've gotten) so maybe I'm missing something obvious.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?

Hmm. Don't know, dug mine out and tried it now, my bluetooth keyboard just connects. Didn't see a check box anywhere. I thought it might ask for a code but it didn't. Shows up in Keyboard and Language settings in section I don't think was listed before connection called Physical Keyboard rather than in the keyboard and input methods list.
Yeah that section vanished when I turned keyboard off.
So erm can say that stock can use a bluetooth keyboard but not much in way of clues as to why not your one.
Is it possible to use a Generic Xbox 360 controller (made by PowerA) on this phone? When on my Note 4 in ePSXe the gamepad shows as "(9414:21258)Generic X-Box Pad."
On the Desire, when plugged in with OTG cable the controller number lights just all blink. I kinda want to use this phone as just a little retro machine, it plays gba, ps1 and even psp pretty well. I've been having a lot of fun with it, but when I went to plug in the controller it didn't work. So far I've gotten the custom recovery, rom flashed so it's rooted, and link2sd set up. I also followed a guide that spoke of putting a "Vendor_045e_Product_0291.kl" file into system/usr/keylayout, setting chmod to 644, and restarting but that did nothing.
I'm about to try flashing this kernel, through all my searching this is the only thing that mentions gamepad support. I've backed up everything just now, but wanted to post in case it doesn't work out so I could get ideas from others, if it does then I'll post an update.
(EDIT)
Flashed said kernel, verified it flashed by checking Settings > About Phone, and the controller still doesn't work. Strangely though, the front camera still worked after flash even though that was a reported bug in the kernel. Currently restoring my backup, because everything was perfect as it was and I don't want to deal with anything buggy if that kernel didn't agree with the rom. So, now it's up to you guys. Thanks in advance for any input provided, wouldn't have this phone running so great if it wasn't for everyone here!
