Tried connecting various devices to my rooted Photon via Bluetooth and ran into some issues...
-My Motorola S9 earphones pair up just fine (go figure, made by Motorola).
-Tried to connect to my desktop for OBEX and the phone is only being recognized as a Dial Up Network connection. There is no option given for OBEX.
-Tried to connect to my MS Wireless Entertainment Keyboard 7000 to use with the dock. The phone recognizes it and tries to pair with it, but it asks me to type a passcode to confirm the connection, can't input the code from the keyboard side, so the connection fails.
Anyone else having any issues with Bluetooth? I know my desktop supports OBEX and just about any other Bluetooth profile so I don't think the problem is with the computer. The same for the keyboard, since I use it with my computer with no issues. I'm pretty sure the issues are with the Bluetooth profiles on the Photon...
I have the 6000 keyboard and there is a bit of a dance you have to do in order to pair it with an Android device. I had figured this out from trying to pair it with my gtablet. When it asks for the passkey you need to type a 4 digit number on the phone and on the keyboard. The dance part is that you also have to hit enter on the keyboard right after you type the passkey on it and have hit the button on the phone. It will take you a couple of times to get the timing right but it will work. The first time I got it to work with my gtablet it took several minutes of messing with it to get it to pair.

I had an OnCourse BT-339 hanging around in the house. I used it for my Dell Axim 51v. So I thought I would give it a try connecting to my gtab. I have read many posts about connection issue but can't find one specific to my issue. I cannot get the gtab bluetooth to pair with the gps. I tried my bluetooth headset and that connected fine. Is my gps unit outdated or am I doing something wrong.
I just paired my OnCourse BT-339 with my Nook Color running CM7 RC4 so it should work for you as well. I had to download an app from the marketplace called "Bluetooth GPS". Just download the app and launch. If no devices are paired it will take you to the pairing screen, this time it should pair (I too could not pair before downloading this app even though I could see the BT-339 in the list of BT devices). Once paired, it should show the BT-339 in a pull-down list. Just hit connect and it should connect.
Hope it works.
I purchased a Targus Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard (has the Android logo and claims compatibility). It paired and connected without any issues and works with all of the apps that I have tried (gmail, text client, Docs To Go, etc.). It also works with Webtop apps, including Citrix (which is why I needed the keyboard).
The problem is that when the keyboard is connected, Webtop will randomly crash and re-start (Motorola logo appears and Webtop re-initializes). I have tried this many times, with and without the keyboard and it is definitely related to having the keyboard connected. Sometimes it will crash right away, while other times it will last 2 or 3 mins. It always fails with 5 mins.
I have tried it using 4G (mine will go to 3G at times due to my area) only (WIFI off) and did not effect the crashing (though WIFI does seem to have conflicts with Bluetooth being on).
Has anyone successfully had a Bluetooth keyboard work? Is there a setting I am missing?
Any help would be much appreciated.
I am still having this problem. Has anyone gotten this to work?
I am using a logitech bluetooth keyboard for android 3.0+ tablets, a bit of a PITA to get it paired, but has been working flawlessly for 2 days now.

Not saying its the only one that will work, I'm sure there are more.
Just a heads up for anyone that gets this keyboard, pairing procedure for the razr is...
1. turn on the keyboard
2. hit the "connect" button on the bottom.
3. find the keyboard in the bluetooth menu on your phone and touch to pair to it.
4. When prompted for the password type "0000" in the popup on your razr.
5. On the bluetooth keyboard type "0000" and press enter. Its VERY important to press enter.
6 your keyboard is paired!
I've used an iPhone4 BT keyboard on my ATRIX....and on RAZR works, too.
Well it turns out the Motorola Wireless keyboard works flawlessly with Webtop as well. Guess I chose the wrong keyboard for my first try.
I am now using the Motoroal Wireless keyboard ... bought through Amazon.
Thanks for all of the posts!!
I just bought a Logitech bluetooth audio adapter (Model 980-000540) and am having a lot of trouble getting my Asus Transformer Prime to pair with it.
I've got the gold TF201, 32GB, all software up to date. I've gotten it to pair a couple times reliably, but the other 20 times I've tried pairing it works like this:
1) Press the button on the Logitech that puts it into discovery mode. The light on the unit starts flashing green to indicate it is announcing itself.
2) In the Prime settings, I have Bluetooth enabled, and then search for devices.
3) The Logitech unit shows up in the "Available Devices" list pretty quickly. Sometimes I see (what appears to be) a MAC address, sometimes it shows up as "(A9)Logitech Adapter".
4) When I click on the Logitech item in the list, it goes gray and says "Pairing" underneath it.
5) Most of the time, it the moves to the section above, to indicate that it has paired.
6) Immediately the green light changes to red on the Logitech, indicating it has lost pairing.
7) Shortly afterwards, the Logitech item goes back into the "Available devices" section.
8) If I try to pair now, with the Logitech no longer in discovery mode, the Prime will show a dialog that says "Couldn't pair with (A9)Logitech Adapter because of an incorrect PIN or passkey." The only option is OK, and there is no ability to set the PIN.
This happens 19 out of 20 times, but it's locked on a couple times and seems totally solid and reliable after that. It's just the pairing process which seems unbelievably fragile.
To my surprise, my Samsung Galaxy Nexus (LTE) has no trouble pairing with it at all. It paired the first try, and now whenever I turn Bluetooth back on it immediately syncs with the Logitech with no hassle at all. Rock solid.
I've tried various tricks, but none seem to work:
- Put the tablet into Bluetooth-broadcast-visible mode at the same time.
- Turning bluetooth off and then back on, etc.
Has anyone else had trouble with Logitech bluetooth speaker adapters too? Or does anyone have any tricks or apps that can coax the Transformer Prime into pairing more reliably?
Thanks for any help,
Jim
I had a very similar problem last week trying to pair a LG headset with the prime, connected with phone perfect, and but likewise when trying to connect also to prime second got the lost connection, incorrect pass/pin etc etc.
I solved it by connecting bluetooth headset to phone, then under phones bluetooth settings press and hold device name to bring up a menu, and select options. Then unchecked the Media option/box. I then tried to connect the device to prime and it worked flawlessly. Since then I haven't had an issue and can even switch between the phone/prime & bluetooth device with no issues.
Hope above helps and you get it sorted.
Try this app. It may help if nothing else does.

Not sure if the Prime or your Logitec gives you the option to input the BT address or not. I've not had any problems pairing or connecting to any of my BT devices.
I just updated to the new ICS leak, which I've heard supports Bluetooth HID. I'm trying to use the phone with a bluetooth remote control. On my wife's droid 3, when I try to connect to the remote, it prompts me enter a pairing code on the phone, which I then do (its 0000) and it works. On the Rezound, however, it tells me to enter a code on the remote, which I can't do, because it doesn't actually have a keypad. Is there anyway to switch how it does pairing? Or to copy the pairing file from my wife's droid 3 to the Rezound?
Is there a way to get the remote to go into discovery mode.. Normally, you do that and then the device you want to link to it sees it and then asks for the code.
I can and do get it into discovery mode, but it still asks me to input the pin on the remote, which i can't do because the remote doesn't have a keypad. What I want it to do is ask me to input the PIN on the rezound, or alternatively, transfer the pairing profile from my wife's droid 3.
Put the remote onto discovery mode, not the phone.

Did that. Doesn't help.
Has anyone come across this before: my obd2ecu adapter keeps asking for a pin every time I connect. Once connected it's fine until I close the app but next time it asks again...... this used to work fine on my one x and my s2.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
My Galaxy Nexus is doing the same thing with my new Passat's Bluetooth connection.
I had to make my GN discoverable and initiate the pairing from the car, which I think might be part of the problem. When the phone isn't in the car, the car doesn't show up in the list of paired bluetooth devices, and when I start the car, it asks for the PIN twice and pairs... without me setting my phone discoverable.
Thoughts, anybody?
Rob
Mine is doing the same ???
