Hey Everyone.
I was trying to pair a BT mouse (MS BT Notebook Mouse 5000) to the prime this morning to see if I could get it to work. In short, the pairing process hung after I entered the code. Now, I can't successfully unpair the mouse to try again. I click the device, click unpair, and nothing happens. I've tried it with the mouse on and off, having restarted BT on the prime, and having completely rebooted the prime.
Suggestions? Or am I stuck with a broken pair setup until I root and re-rom this thing?
Thanks in advance!!
update...
After about an hour or so, the BT info for the mouse disappeared. I was able to go ahead and add the mouse, so that's all well and good. However, I still have to wait a very long while to get a device to unpair. Does this happen to any other prime or ICS users?

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 am trying to pair a bluetooth mouse to my TF201 on ICS. It asks me for a password and I put in 0000 and 1234 and it still says wrong password. I have paired these with another laptop but it doesn't want to work on my Prime for some reason. I don't have it connected to the dock, is that the problem or is it something else?
It should work. I'm setting here using my TFP with my MS bluetooth mouse. I hadn't thought of using it with the out the keyboard, but it works!
Once you get it paired, don't ever unpair it! Also, if you're downloading a large file, you'll lose BT connecitivity. Took me a long time to get the BT mouse working again.
Do only certain types work? I have tried a Logitech and an HP both with no success.
I know that this is not Bluetooth....but it is a damn good mouse and works well with my Prime and Dock:

Ehhh kind of defeats the purpose...
I got the cheapest one I could find on eBay and it paired. BUT ... the mouse has 2 modes. It has to be switched on first with a slide switch underneath. Also underneath is the pairing button. The mouse has a blue light to show it is doing this. Click on the wakeup button on the top and the optical red light comes on. It will not pair if you wake it up!!! Only switching it off and back on again let me press the pairing button. Once paired, it stays paired. With the blue light going, I set the TP to scan for devices.
When you say it won't pair when you wake it up, does it say it's the wrong password?
I have a 101 G9 1.5 Turbo I got off sellout.woot back in march. I have one of surdu_petru's rooted roms on it based off gingerbread 3.2.80 (can't remember which one exactly!)
I just recently tried to pair it with my cars bluetooth (2010 Mazda 3 iTouring). I went through the pairing procedure and it connected to the car. I see a symbol of headphones on the line for the Mazda but the tablet locked up after it paired. I tried unpairing the mazda on the tablet and redoing the pair. But the same thing happens and the tablet just locks up. It has even randomly rebooted itself after the lockup.
I'm just wondering if anybody has tried to pair their tablet to their car like this before? I did manage to copy the logcat.log off the tablet from the last time I tried pairing it and poked through the log file for any bluetooth error messages (available if anyone wants to look at it?) But I don't know what to look for in it.
Any help would be appreciated.
I flashed to stock rooted 198_7 from lokifishs dl page so I could use ubuntop. I am trying to connect my logitech bluetooth keyboard to my mopho. At first they connected and paired great but after disconnecting & trying to reconnect I keep getting a error saying my keyboard wants to pair but I have to initiate pairing from the phone which doesnt work. Why do I have to pair again after the two devices have sucsessfully paired and connectted? and why isnt there an option to forget the device and start all over? this is driving me nuts please someone help. I would loce to upload screenshot but cant?
I haven't used bluetooth much on this phone yet, so I don't know if this is device specific or a general problem. Anyway, my phone pairs with my car bluetooth dongle and works normally the first time, but when it's already paired it just won't connect, no matter what. It works again if I unpair it and pair it again, but that's not very convenient...
Has anyone else noticed this kind of behavior and is there a fix for it?
Try clearing the system cache and a network reset.
Well, I don't know what happened or changed but today it just worked... Weird.
Ah, turns out with this phone, I just need to wait until the dongle is properly initialized before trying to connect, otherwise it just gives up and won't even try again.
With my old Huawei, I could do it straight away and it would connect when it's done...

Try in safe mode. May have a 3rd party app conflict.
Could also be a coincidence and the crappy dongle is giving up.
It's a cheap eBay bought one that renders an mp3 file on the fly so the car stereo can play it like normal flash storage. My wife's Xiaomi also had some issues connecting to it yesterday, and today as I was driving music stopped several times and the stereo said "USB format incompatible", then skipped to the next track and continued. I'm planning on installing an Aux input into the car soon so I can plug a better bluetooth receiver into that, so hopefully that'll solve the problem.
