PS3 Bt headset/wireless keypad works on rooted Honeycomb View tablet - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

I have successfully paired my ps3 bluetooth headset and wireless keypad to my view running honeycomb (gingerbread with the headset) and they both work flawlessly.
The wireless keypad has a touch mode which enables the keypad to double as a mouse.
It takes some time to get used to using the keypad for full navigation but it's a nice option to have along with bluetooth keyboards.
It's a nice alternative to the $50+ bt keyboards and so much more smaller. Give it a try sometime if any of you have access to these items.

Interesting. Did both work wih Gingerbread?
What did you do to get them paired? I guess there is a special USB cable to hook them to the tablet for pairing?

Are you rooted? Have you modified the build.prop? Is your mic on the headset working or is it just media. I tried to connect my motorola finiti and all I got was media.

I only tried the headset on gingerbread, not the keypad. Pairing is the same for any bt accessory; put the accessory in pairing mode, turn on bluetooth on the tablet then enter the passcode when instructed.

Yes I am rooted. On gingerbread I modified the bt profiles number and set service.brcm.bt.ag_supported to 1. After that I rebooted and made some calls with the headset and the mic worked flawlessly. On honeycomb the bt profiles number is already correct for the same devices so all you need to do is set ag_supported and pair the accessories.

Can u post a picture of the pad or a link to where we cab buy it

This is the keypad I am using

Both work great on honeycomb. On gingerbread I only tested the headset, not the keypad.

I just got one over the weekend, ill try it on the GB view, the pads were on sale for $25 at BB.

So the pad u r using its like a key board and trackball? In other words u can control the tablet completely from the pad ?

Just about. The only downside is you have to switch between touchmode/trackball mode and typing, you can't do both at the same time. It isn't hard though to switch between the two as it has it's own dedicated button to go between the modes.
I haven't tested it with games but honestly that's the only time I prefer to actually touch the screen. Other than that, it's nice to be able to let my tablet sit on my night stand and just control it with the keypad.
And at less than $30 (average) you can't beat the portability factor.
All I can say is between the keypad and the headset I don't always have to be near the tablet to touch it for simple tasks.

No on hc view.

Do you actually have the headset paired to Hands-Free or just Media Audio?

I used the headset to make phone calls on my view tablet.

You are able to use the mic on the BT headset to make calls on Honeycomb? How?

Skype, grooveip. On the headset you also have to press the phone button.

What I mean is that the HFP profile is disabled in Honeycomb. Even if the build.prop is edited it will show, but devices won't actually connect to it. I'm wondering how you got around that issue.

I'm wondering the same exact thing. Can someone shed light on this. My headset won't actually connect either and it's driving me nuts because the build.prop method seemed like a sure fix. Someone please help!

The build prop is not a fix. LEEDroid is working ona a fix, but no solution yet. Check his thread / ROM

I am only interested in the keypad.
Will the PS3 one work on an unrooted/stock evo view?

From what I remember HID is not a fully functioning option for Android.
You can use an app to get it working. Do a search on the Market for Bluetooth Keyboard.

No luck with the energy rom and kern... But the Rom is nice ... I Think ill keep my BT keyboard and pray that someone enables L2CAP's in an ICS Rom... The keyboard I'm attempting to pair with my phone is called the rii mini touch 330... It's pretty cool it has a built in touch pad... I wanted to be able to use it to text and as a portable controller for my emulators (gensoid, nesoid, n64) when I attempted to pair it tells me that the L2CAP is disabled on my phone.. :banghead:

[Q] Liquid ICS JMOD Google Voice dialer

First of all I believe this ROM is the bomb; finally have ICS on my TB. The only problem I am having is getting the Google Voice dialer to work with my bluetooth earpiece Plantronics M1100. When I double tap the earpiece the GV dialer pops up, I hear a double beeb and then nothing.
Anyone else having this problem and have you had it resolved. Thanks guys.
There seems to be Bluetooth problems with this Rom. I've read that formatting in EXT3 resolves this issue? I'm not positive though.

I attempted reformatting with EXT3 and still have the same problem.
Thanks for the advice; it was worth the try

The Bluetooth issue isn't a result of the file system, it's the kernel. In other words, we will have to wait for liquid to release a more stable version of his kernel. I use my Bluetooth a lot as well, and as a result I have to deal with the same issues. I've had issues where no audio streams through the Bluetooth headset, but when I toggle from Bluetooth headset to speaker and back to Bluetooth, I miraculously get audio.
P.S. the radio's won't fix that either.
Thanks for the update. I just hope Liquid can get it going quickly.
This is a slick ass ROM and would really like to continue using it.

Voice Dialer Problem with ICS....a work around
While I could get Bluetooth audio to work on several Thunderbolt ICS Roms, I could not get the voice dialer via the bluetooth headset to work. I tried using several apps to resolve this issue and finally found one! Try using the app called "Voice Control Full" and it works perfectly! The app is $1.99 for the full version and there is even a trial version I believe called "Voice Control Trial". This works way better than the stock Android dialer - much more accurate! Good luck!
I attempted the use the Voice Control Full app; it would not wake the phone up via Bluetooth.

Auxiliary audio and Bluetooth

I noticed when I'm playing music through the audio jack to my car's auxiliary, bluetooth headset is disabled for calls. I have to pull the audio jack, then the button for bluetooth is enabled again.
My G2 would allow calls to go through the bluetooth headset and then once the call was done, music would continue on auxiliary.
Is there any way to get this back? Anyone else think this is an issue?
Yep have the same problem, thanks for asking the question hope we get an answer.

Glad I'm not the only one who misses this... Seems pretty basic.

I thought this was a bug as well. However when using the aux, I am having an issue with the audio being muted when I disconnect the headphones and no way to bring the audio back up unless I restart the device.

how to pair BT headphones

This may be a stupid question. I tried searching but didnt find this. How do I pair my BT headphones to the TS? I can get to the BT menu, but cant "scan", or dont see the button to do so.

Swipe from left to right in the TrueSmart Bluetooth menu to see additional options, but to pair BT headphones that was necessary on mine.
