So its got Bluetooth issues.. I still like the tablet though so I'm looking for an
easy workaround..
Any recommendations for a bluetooth gps receiver that is known to work with the prime? something small that I can easily use/mount in a car?
Check the main GPS thread. This approach is a bit of a pain, but works great.

I don't use Bluetooth that much I’ve really never used it for anything except for trying my PS3 controller. I can use it wired though or use a wireless controller. I was just asking because I finally got a Prime that will run 18mb/s down in same large room as my router, consistent. So what can I do with Bluetooth that I can’t do wireless. Not a real big gamer I got a 360 and PS3 that mainly just sit there over 30 games for each. I do like racing games though. The only problem is that my Prime is mismatched which I don't really mind most of the time it isn’t docked anyways. I got it in an Acase.
My mismatched prime I like it really though, that's what matters. After 6 Prime duds, I love this thing!!!

Bluetooth is mainly used for connecting device to devices, which is something you may or may not be able to do over WiFi depending on what devices you are using and what kind of router you use.
I personally mainly use Bluetooth on my Prime to connect it to a couple fo different sets of wireless headphones while listening to music or watching Netflix. I have also used it to transfer files back and forth between my phone and tablet when I was away from WiFi. I have also used it to set up internet tethering between my phone and tablet (before I found FoxFi).
Sometimes I use bluetooth in my car to connect my tablet to my car stereo so that I can stream music from my tablet to my car, but usually I do this with my phone since my phone can use Pandora or TuneIn with its constant data connection.
I use BT mainly for either tethering internet connection, connecting to my Atrix and transferring files, photos, and movies, connecting to Atrix to use it as a BT controller.
24 hours bluetooth for tablet talk
Don't forget that you can also use bluetooth to connect to an external GPS device.

yeah, I do that also. forgot to add that in there. works great!
I used to use it for BT speaker when streaming netflix or pandora but when I'm connected to my home router my wifi degrades by a lot so it became useless. I noticed the same when I use ps3 controller and I'm playing online. But those 2 were the only reason I used it.
I use B/T to connect to Jawbone Jambox to listen to music when outside or I used it today to watch a movie w/o earbuds. Cool speaker & works well.

-BT gamepad (iControlPad)
very nice BT drivers on the prime imho. Its been horrible on my phone^^ Had to use a few workarounds and install a custum rom to get it working with all my devices...
On the prime though, everything just works and connects instantly.
I use it for my ps3 sixaxis controller. Mostly gta3 and zen pinball. Everything works great. BTW if you want to try it, just plug the controller in with a usb cable then goto bluetooth and pair it then unplug the cable and done.

Does anybody know how to pair TF to phone and to use TF as handset to answer calls and maybe to dial via phone?
I use my logitech bluetooth mouse and keyboard with my tablet. I know I know, why not buy the dock but I had bought this combo way back in the day so it works.
I use the Wii mote with a classic controller for N64oid.
And the wii mote for gameboid.
Works great for me.

bluetooth audio and 3.5mm out
slightly OT question
I don't have a prime yet but would like to get one. Have one question about the bluetooth. Can one use the bluetooth headset and the 3.5mm audio out at the same time?
thanks,
I use the bluetooth to connect it to an apple keyboard when my dock runs out of battery.

How did you get it to work with the apple wireless keyboard, because I can get it connected but it doesn't do anything.

How exactly do you transfer files? I did this once before a while ago and remember it worked perfectly, but I simply can't figure it out now. I have the devices paired, now what?
I use my Bluetooth for file transfers from my come PC to the TF and same from my phone to the TF, also I use it for tethering for Tablet Talk

Using a bluetooth controller with Onlive
Hi, while I don't have the Onlive controller, I have used the wireless PS3 controller and can confirm that the WIFI signal drops too much to play a game. I am trying to get an external bluetooth dongle to work but no luck so far
Hope that helps
Bluetooth muse Logitech V470 is working without any problems.
Too bad that the "side to side scrollibg" thingy doesnt have support...
