I've got a Logitech MX5500 keyboard and mouse combo for my PC. I have no intention on buying a dock, however since they keyboard and mouse are bluetooth, I thought I'd find out if I could pair it with the Prime. Does anyone know how to set this up or if it is possible?
The Logitech SetPoint software has a Bluetooth Connection Assistant included, and the Prime will recognize and pair with the Bluetooth dongle on the PC, but the keyboard and mouse will not connect to the prime. I saw this video and this video which shows someone connecting the TF101 with this keyboard and mouse, but he doesn't explain how that is accomplished.
After running the Bluetooth Connection Assistant on my Win7 PC, it shows 2 Bluetooth devices in my device drivers which both show "Bluetooth peripheral device driver not found". When attempting to pair with the keyboard or mouse, the Prime says "Cannot communicate with (Bluetooth Address)"

I have a mx5000 that I use. I just pressed the red connect button on the back of the keyboard and when I searched for Bluetooth devices my tfp found and paired to the keyboard. Never tried the mouse yet.

Thanks, I tried that as well. The keyboard and mouse both pair up with the ATP briefly when pairing it directly like you described. It asks for the PIN on the keyboard, then for the mouse it asks for the PIN on the Prime. However, after it pairs, it immediately unpairs and asks for the PIN again. This is for the keyboard or the mouse. This is different than it not pairing at all, or entering the incorrect PIN, bc it does show paired for a second when the correct PIN is entered.

I have a Microsoft IntelliMouse with BT that I use with my laptop.
I'd thought I should try and see how it works with my Transformer.I paired but then the Transformer asks for a PIN code (I tried both 0000 and 1234) but it doesn't have a PIN code. When connecting with the laptop i set it for no PIN code (can't be bothered trying to remember something so trivial).
While it will pair, it refuses to connect. Now, I can manage fine without the mouse but I'm curious as to why the Transformer requires the PIN when the laptop doesn't.
MS and Targus mice su**s.
try 0000 worked for me
I have one and it works great on my transformer and desktop.

My MS BT mouse works great. 0000 is the pin.
Asus TF101 ICS 4.0.3
I think the OP is refering to the original intellimouse for bluetooth, metallic gray, takes two AA's and comes with a stupid blue dongle with a female micro usb port that plugs in to a silver base which is the male version so there was no way to use it in a laptop. That particular mouse was the first BT one that MS made, and it was made before the HID profile was standardized as i found out when i did some research. As it has no HID profile what it did was rely on the dongle to initiate a pairing request via the intellipoint software that came with the mouse (which i couldnt' even download for the longest time from the site). There was a whole thing about people with macs not being able to pair because the intellipoint software for mac wasn't updated to include that particular mouse.
TL|DR: If it was the very first intellimouse explorer for bluetooth, you can't pair it to any mobile device unless that device has the ability to pair without using a passkey.
Hello!
I've tried to connect my Galaxy S2 (Checkrom V4) to my pc via the Logitech dinovo mini usb dongle. For some reason my phone doesn't even find the dongle. So I want to know, if there is any way to do so.
Thanks for your help!
Instead, you need to get your PC to find the phone. In order to use the logitech dinovo bluetooth dongle to act as a bluetooth one, you'll need to remove your dongle, and then press and hold the connect button while plugging in the dongle into the USB.
This is because the Logitech dinovo dongle have two bluetooth modes:
1. Embedded mode
2. Bluetooth Mode
The embedded mode is the mode your Logitech DiNovo connects to without doing all that pairing stuff. This only connects your Logitech keyboard. So in order to connect to other devices, connect in Bluetooth mode with the instructions I have listed above.
Hope that helps.
Thank you very much for this information. You just saved me hours of research.
I have a Himedia Q5 smart tv box and since this device has no built in bluetooth
but i had an old diNovo mini and thanks to android 4.03 and your information,
i'm now happy typing using this dongle and the di novo mini keyboard (incl. mouse feature).
So I bought yesterday a ps3 controller for my TF
But when I tried to pair between them its keep telling me
to enter a passkey in the controller....how the hell I can
enter a passkey with a gamepad
I tried with sixaxis but its still does not work
Can someone please help me
By default usually 0000 or 1234, or you can use Sixaxis Controller is better
PS3 controllers only shares its passkey over usb connection. Once you connect it once over usb it will pair again in the future. (Its the reason the PS3 system always tells you to connect the controller via usb)
download and run the sixaxis pair tool here: http://www.dancingpixelstudios.com/sixaxiscontroller/tool.html
connect your ps3 gamepad via usb to a pc, and change the bluetooth address in the program to the one you have on your tf (search for bluetooth address finder in play store if you don't know your tf's bt mac address).
After it has completed the pair process, just turn on bt on the tf, and press the ps button on your gamepad. It should work.
I just got my tab today and was wondering does the controller connects via bluetooth w/ this app and doesnt matter what ROM youre on.
I know how to use it cause i use it w/ my phone to play ff7 w/ fpse and shadowgun, just wanted to makesure i can with this tab

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:
http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mice-pointers/mice/devices/6536
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?
Hi, I have an Acer Iconia B1 tablet, and I'm stuck with Android 4.1.2.
I'm trying to pair with a Verbatim 96674 bluetooth mouse, but the pairing process insists in asking for a PIN code, and does not allow to pair without it. The small catch is that this (and probably any bluetooth mouse on earth) does NOT require a PIN. :silly:
I have tried every single bluetooth pairing app from the store, without success. The "bluetooth pairing" app (com.jpn.frontia.waka.Bluetooth) almost worked, but it never paired the mouse, while "blueinput demo" (com.teksoftco.android.blueinput) reports that my Android "does not support HID", and when trying to pair using SPP, it does not work either.
The question is, can I pair manually with some of those bluetooth SPP apps in the store? Is there ANY chance of pairing this mouse with Android 4.1.2 or getting a bluetooth mouse with security PIN?
Thanks in advance.
I have this problem... And this mouse and Tablet Asus MeMO Pad HD 7 (ME173x) With Android Version: 4.2.2 And this **** asking for pin code, WTF Google!?

Could not find Bluetooth pairing app anywhere
I am in the same boat trying to use my Sony BD remote on an android tv stick. However I can't even find the com.jpn.frontia.waka.Bluetooth apk. Seems like that app is no longer available anywhere. Can someone put it up plz.
Thanks,
