im not able to turn on my bluetooth on my cell phone! i search and search for a patch or answer of why this is happening but i still havent figure it out. To be more specific i go to comm manager communication and click on the turn on bluetooth and it doesnt go on. i also tried going to setting connection and click turn on bluetooth and than ok and it wont go on i tried everything to get it to go on! i did a hard reset a week ago for this reason to fix the bluetooth issue it worked but now it doesnt again. please help me!
How do i get this bluetooth keyboard to connect. Its soo annoying. I keep gettin paired but not connected
Is it compatable with BT 3.0?
Also have you done the update?
BT seems to cause issues for the amaze .... I still cannot get my amaze to work with my torque app. I think its just my peripheral doesn't support the 3.0 BT used on the amaze, that may be your issue as well...maybe someone else can chime in. Make sure you have all the updates dl'd.

I have it. When it says to enter the passwork. Press the "0" 4 times (from the keyboard) and press enter (from the keyboard). The Amaze will ask for the password. Press "0" 4 times from the phone and it'll connect.
Anyone succeed with XS connecting to PC Companion via wireless?
Mine stays like that (attached) forever!!!
I just tried it out and it worked just fine.
I have Win7 x64, and I think the trick is, while doing the process have it in the phone in the connections menu (Xperia > connections like it tells you in the first place) and keep it awake, or else you don't get the pairing notification.
After it started to pair, it only took less than 30 seconds to pair and confirm everything.
I have no idea if that helps, but it's how I got mine to work.
Mine works fine too. Had the issue with not getting notification the first time. The tip above here works fine.
Once it's paired it connects fine in a few seconds.

Thanks guys, will give a try!
Interestingly it never ever worked for my arc and now I'm trying this with XS.
1. I have been unable to connect it to my PC for a while, I tried downloading and installing the Samsung USB drivers, and connecting with the white USB cable it came with but it always says Device Failed to install properly, and my Device Manager says Unknown Device. I've resorted to using AirDroid to download my pictures and videos which takes a little while and is annoying.
2. Tumblr app: my login does not work, after I type my password and hit login, it says logging in... and it tries and tries and says login failed. I tried setting up a new account using the app but that did not work either. I tried using a non official tumblr app to see if it would work and same problem happened.
3. Goggles App: Does anyone know how to use this?
4. Youtube App: Just about every other time I watch a video using this app, it somehow loses its connection to youtube and a button appears to Retry, and I hit that several times and nothing comes up. I end up closing the app and re loading it, and it works for one or two videos and then the same thing happens. Super frustrating. I am able to use other youtube apps without a problem like Zing Youtube but I am unable to login and see my subscribed favorites.
5. Twitch App: It lost the feature to search, so I found a non official app called Twitch Player that works great except that some streams cause my phone screen to turn off and I have to take out my battery and turn it back on in order to get the phone working again. Quite annoying.
My friend said he just rooted his S4 and said it was easy, and I was thinking about doing it too but I am hesitant since I have never done that before, and this is my first smart phone which I love dearly. Any advice? I want to do it so I can use the app ShareKM which allows you to use your PC mouse and keyboard on your android.
Thanks!

1. USB to PC problem
A: Delete all drivers for the phone from your PC.
B: make sure your phone isnt plugged into the PC and make sure USB Debugging Mode is off
C: replug your phone to your PC and allow the MTP drivers to install, then switch to camera mode (PTP) and let those install then you can go back to USB debugging mode
2. Tumblr app problem
A: make sure you have the correct login info by trying to log in through the PC's browser. If not, just press "I forgot my login info" or whatever and have the password reset email sent to you.
B: make sure app is updated. if it is and youre certain you typed the info properly then the app is buggy.
C: firmly swing a hammer on your phone.
3. google goggles
Its works when you take pictures of logo's or landmarks and google tries to use its knowledge graph to identify it and give you info on it. as you can imagine this is a tough program to get to work well. As such it doesnt.
4.
If youre using a custom stock android rom like cyanogen or AOKP or paranoid or any variation of the three you probably flashed a bad google apps file. If youre not using one of those, make sure youtube is updated from the play store and it very well could be a connection problem with your router.

The questioms have already been answered but something caught my attention, you want to use your keyboard and mouse on your phone. You can already do that, the Note 2 has USB OTG active so you can use just about anything on it, except XBOX controllers, like PS3 controllers, jump drives, external hard drives (they have to be formatted a certain way but they are able to be used), mice, keyboards, etc.
You should still root your phone because it opens an entirely new world for you.

Wow! I ordered one of those little cables that lets you plug in USB things but never thought to simply try using a USB keyboard or mouse with it! I am typing this on my USB keyboard and it works like a charm I also tried using a USB mouse and it works great, the wheel even works for scrolling up and down. I will try my wireless keyboard and mouse combo later to see if it will work but I am doubting it will work if it needs drivers (It is not the bluetooth kind). I wonder if this thing can handle USB splitters....
Thanks!!! Love the Note2

Yes it works great with USB splitters, at least the few I've tried and a few other members have tried. And it very well may work with the wireless keyboard, I have one from somewhere around '00 and it works perfectly, you never know until you try!

I was able to get the PC USB connection working thanks to eboodnero's advice, but the real issue was that I was trying to connect the USB plug into a splitter USB plug instead of directly into the computer A poor mistake, learned the hard way.
Also, I tried logging into the Tumblr app after changing my password to an easy one without special characters, and that seemed to make it work ^shrug^

Yeah, you always have to plug straight into the computer with this phone it seems, especially for things like Casual or Odin.

glad it worked out for you bud! =)
I have appradio unchained , gs4 and a pioneer appradio3. I am not completely helpless on a computer but I am far from your levels, so please be patient. I have been at this for about a month, lol and I have it all working except I cannot get the Bluetooth media connection to stay connected. it actually connects and works via Bluetooth but as soon as I hook up my mhl cable it disconnects the media connection through Bluetooth.
I bring this up because even though I have a mirrored image on the hu I cannot use the touch screen and I read somewhere I need the Bluetooth media connection to use the touch screen.
Any idea on how I could get this to work would be appreciated,
Thanks in advance
Any chance im missing some basic settings?

Just thought id add that maybe ive missed some basic setting in my gs4 that allows or disallows having a mhl cable and Bluetooth functioning at the same time? I just cant find any reason why it shuts down only the media side of my Bluetooth when I hook up the mhl cable?
Please let there be help for this!
any idea were else i could post?
Dos anyone here have any idea of another forum I could use to try find some help? I am running out of ideas.
Thanks

Yes I did. appradio works fine. I just cant get appradio unchained to work. Maybe this is crazy but I am thinking I may need to completely reset the phone or install a new rom in order to get this to work.
Ill check out this other thread.
Thank you for responding!

Ok well I have read already and that's were I downloaded appradio unchained. I went over the survey and didn't find anyone with the s4 running4.4.2 that had it working.
Dos anyone think installing a custom rom would fix the issue and if so which one would you recommend?
Anybody think the s5 might help?
