Has anyone used/tried a Bluetooth keyboard with this phone, I am finding myself missing tactile keys since moving to this phone. Are there any compatibly issues to worry about or will any Bluetooth keyboard be able to work on the phone?

Bluetooth keyboards AND mouses (mice?) work. Here's the caveat: on any 2.3.6 ROMS, they load once then after you shut bluetooth off and turn it back on, you're done. It cycles on and off continuously. It's a problem with all 2.3.6 ROMS, and it's not a kernel issue, it's a bug within the Android System itself.
Meanwhile, if you have a 2.3.4 ROM or 2.3.7 (CM7 and MIUI are these builds) the keyboard and mouse will work without a hitch. I've tested it, and it's pretty legit man, not gonna lie.

Hmm thank you, I actually noticed that bug on my phone with my Bluetooth headphones and now I know why

The bthid issue has been fixed in the kk6 build as well as newer releases, thanks to Entropy512, his newest kernel has it working again.

I bought a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for my Galaxy Tab 10.1 and found it actually works much much better on my GS2 than it does on the tab. Wasn't able to sync the mouse to my phone though, not that it would be that useful with a mouse anyways.

I don't use bluetooth often but my wife's new car has bluetooth and when I had froyoi could connect no problem. Now that I'm running gingerbread (have the issue with simply honey 3.5 and 3.6) It says failed to connect every time I try to pair it. Anyone else having bluetooth issues or know of a fix?

it could be the rom, try another GB rom and see if thats gb rom!
I was living in the stone ages using the 3.5 mm audio cable. I won a wireless gateway from Blackberry at work and aww man. The music hasn't sounded better.
Neways back to ur question I would also like to know. That's one thing keeping me away from gb

Just got a Bluetooth mouse. It worked with my laptop. Try connecting to phone and it pairs but wont connect. It did connect once somehow but wasn't even working. Now I can't get it to connect at all. It looks like it connects for a split second then goes back to just saying paired.
I'm on shostock rom. Does it not work with 2.3.6.
Any help is appreciated

Well luckily I had a restored to stock sgs2 right next to me (exchange through warranty department for defective screen) and it worked perfectly on that with no problems.
So looks like its either this Rom or android 2.3.6.
Is there a way I can put Bluetooth from 2.3.4 on this Rom?

I have updated to LPQ hoping the Bluetooth phone book issue would be fixed but it is not Does anyone know if cm9 rom has the same problem on the sgs2? Let me know so I can decide on putting my phone on sale or install the right ICS rom

No help?

I actually think ICS has a compatibility issue with certain BT devices.
I bet you ran in to no issues on the GB platform.
My BT crashes my phone when paired with my car stereo and streaming music. And I cant get my phone book to work either.
Actually I did.

This might not be much of an answer but since noone has yet I'll bite..... I tried to set it up in my 2011 Kia Sorento through the "ipod" dock and it kept going like it wanted to connect. Started charging the phone everything. Im having an unrelated problem with my charging port/battery charge somethingorother so it wouldnt lock on but I would say its a definite possibility when I get my issues fixed it will work. I say that because when I was on GB or ICS and tried to do it, it would immediately say no media connected and cease charging. This actually tried to connect and I feel if I didnt have my other issues it would have. Hope that at least gives ya some idea!
USB Audio Out...
Does not work without a dock on our phones, and even if you have a dock, it doesn't work on any CM based ROM. We need to have a Touchwiz based ROM to enjoy audio out via USB.
I love CM9 ICS and it kills me that I can't use my car dock fully.
I did search didnt see it addressed so figured id see if anyone else has issues with Bluetooth. Ive tried my bluetooth headphones and speakers with 2 other phones and my tablets and have no issues. With my note im lucky if i can get more than 5 ft of range before it starts breaking up. Im currently running bigfau blackstar rom. Tried stock and cm10 jb but none made any difference in bluetooth. Also tried without my case still no change. Thank you for any input

I use my bt all day, every day for both phone and music and haven't noticed any difference between rooms, and I've tried a bunch.
That's strange. I have a set of Beats Wireless BT headphones.
I can be quite far from the phone with them still working fine. I've tried on all the ROMs I've tried; mainly CM9, PA (earlier), AOKP, etc.
Just for giggles, remove a case if you're using one and see if it improves. A TPU or plastic type case shouldn't matter, but just isolate it as a problem.
I use BT Tether between my phone and tablet reliably 5+ feet away, and my BT GPS works for at least 5 feet (and that's about norm for how far it goes; small antenna on its side), so all seems about on par to what I'm personally used to.
