[Q] anyone have this keyboard? - HTC Amaze 4G

How do i get this bluetooth keyboard to connect. Its soo annoying. I keep gettin paired but not connected

Is it compatable with BT 3.0?
Also have you done the update?
BT seems to cause issues for the amaze .... I still cannot get my amaze to work with my torque app. I think its just my peripheral doesn't support the 3.0 BT used on the amaze, that may be your issue as well...maybe someone else can chime in. Make sure you have all the updates dl'd.

I have it. When it says to enter the passwork. Press the "0" 4 times (from the keyboard) and press enter (from the keyboard). The Amaze will ask for the password. Press "0" 4 times from the phone and it'll connect.

How to pair(almost) any phone with TouchPad to send and recv SMS/Calls!!! Like Pre3

Make sure you follow these steps exactly! If you don't, you will have to do a webOS doctor and start from the beginning to get it to work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Things to do first!
Download freeTether from Preware.
On your phone, go into where the bluetooth settings are. Turn on messaging access or MAP. (these settings are in all cyogen roms and a lot of other phone too, like sensation and MyTouch)
Make sure you turn off WiFi during the pairing, it can confuse it. You can turn it back on after if you want.
In freeTether make sure you enable "Auto BT Tether " in general preferances and enable "PAN profile" in bluetooth pref.
Turn on touchpad and phones bluetooth now!
Tethering time!
1st - Launch freetether and just leave it running.
2nd - have your phone search for devices.
3rd - You should see the Touchpad, but don't pair it on your phone yet! Now launch the bluetooth setting on your touchpad(don't close freetether though)
4th - Now pair with your touchpad on the phone. Wait until you see a pairing request on the touchpad bluetooth settings screen. It comes up at the bottom. Accept there and then finish on your phone and your done.
5th - you can now close freetether just don't uninstall it. From now on both devices will automatically recognize each other so all you have to do is turn on the bluetooth on the touchpad and touch your devices name that's saved under bluetooth settings.
Hit "Thanks" and Enjoy!

This enables you to use your TouchPad as your phone basically. The TouchPad comes with a Phone Dialer and and a messaging app installed already, so you don't need to download anything extra to get it to work. The TouchPad was designed to only pair with other WebOS phones to use the SMS/Calling, this is a way around that to allow you to use other OS's.
And no bluetooth headset is needed, calls play over the speakers on the TouchPad.
very cool will try this later tonight thanks!
Can you please edit the "Motorola Droid Charge" to the "Samsung Droid Charge"? I saw it like that in the Palm forum and it really irritates me!

Fixed just for you, my bad! Haha
don't see the messaging access setting on desire running miui pretty good find though!
Some Phones/Roms dont require you to active the MAP. So Give it a shot anyways. Worse comes to worse, the calls will still work for ya.
Sounds very cool... Will try it.

htc evo 3d has report issues and will resend the texts sent from the hp touchpad once the phone is restarted.
mine did it.
I have a Samsung Infuse 4G but it does not "find" the Touchpad when I do a search on the phone. Both bluetooths are turned on. Also on the TP, what do you select to find the phone? Do you choose Audio or Other?
On the 'Free Tether' app a circle symbol has appeared next to Bluetooth and it also shows as on, yet my android phone is picking up the touchpad
Any ideas?

Well you shouldnt be doing the paring from the TouchPad, you should be doing it on your phone and then wait for a pop up on the TouchPad. You will probably need to doctor your TouchPad and start over now. From some reason if you make a mistake with the pair process the TouchPad won't allow it with that phone again.

If you can't see your TouchPad on your phone Or your phone on your TouchPad under the bluetooth settings, then the only thing that I can recommended trying is doing a WebOS doctor and starting from the beginning. Like I said in a previous post, there are so many phones and Rom out there the pairing will be different with a lot of them. Just play around with it and post how you got it to work here!
So I managed to pair my Milestone 1(droid) with TP. I can answer phone calls with TP but I can't dial out. Furthermore, text messaging doesn't receive and I don't know how to send one.
Any ideas?
PS: This is so fun to answer a phone with my TP though!!! Thanks a million!
Can confirm voice calls work with Photon 4g, text messaging does not
ive tried it but i dont see a pop up screen om the touchpad to inter the password...
Great guide, many thanks.
Calls working on my Desire with CM7 and HD2 with WM7 (mango)
SMS not working though, would be v interested if anyone can fiddle it so it works!
This didn't work for my HTC Inspire. The phone didn't find the TouchPad at all.

[Q] Pairing Bluetooth Keyboard ICS

I'm trying to pair my bluetooth keyboard, which worked perfectly under Gingerbread, but will not pair under ICS. Basically, the keyboard will not go into pairing mode until I give it a pin, and ICS won't give me the pin until the keyboard is pairing. Is there any way to tell ICS what pin to expect before trying to pair? This is the sequence I am doing:
1. Put keyboard in discoverable mode.
2. Select the keyboard in the bluetooth menu.
3. Type in a pin on the keyboard and hit enter.
4. A dialog comes up on the tablet telling me what pin to use to pair. (I have to type in the pin in the keyboard for this to come up)
5. Pairing fails after about 1/4 of a second.
Anyone I have the same thing. Get a pop up for a quarter of a second that has a pin but I can't enter it or even read it and then fail.
Please been looking for a solution for a while.
HP Touchpad CM9 4.03
I've downgraded to cyanogenmod 7, and am purchasing a case with a built in keyboard that hopefully does not share the issue. I think these are the only two options.
Bluetooth keyboard in ics
Hi all, I hope I'm in the right area, I have android ics, when I go to pair a Bluetooth keyboard, I put the keyboard into pairing mode and then search on the phone. The phone finds the keyboard and sais please enter the pin code on the keyboard, and press enter, wichita I do and the message on the phone disappears and the keyboard seems to be pairs, but when you look at the keyboard the pairing light is still flashing. The keyboard works great on my partners...dare I say it iPad, but I can not get it to work in ics. I've tried blueinput, blue keyboard jp ,but neither of these program's seem to help. The can see the keyboard but don't seem to connect to them. Any help would be appreciated. To me it seems as tho the keyboard is not receiving an acceptance message from the phone to say connected.

I would venture to say this is a device specific issue. I'd recommend going to the forum for your particular device and replying to a six month old post there that is vaguely related to your issue.
I have looked through the forums, and havnt found anything that helps. I have tried different programs and possible fixes. To no avail. I have a generic phone with ics so rooting may not b an option. One thing i have noticed is ics automatically generates a bluetooth access key. Is there a way to change this to manually choose or enter a pass key. I think this may be part of my problem. Or possibly fix the issue i have. Any thoughts.

[Q] S3 Bluetooth issues connection to car stereo

I have a Sprint S3, and it will pair to my car stereo just fine, but it keeps disconnecting. Once paired, there is option boxes for "Call audio" and "Media audio"
It seems like if I turn one option on, it disables the other, and vice versa. Every time I start the car, the pairing is out of whack and I have to start over, enabling whichever one I want, and after a few times it works. I did get both to work one time, but as soon I turned car off then on, it was broken again.
My old phones have never had a problem connecting both Call and Media to my car, so I am concerned it is an issue with the S3.
I have 2010 Nissan Altima with the upgraded stereo. I have removed all previously paired devices so only the s3 shows up. I have removed and re-added the s3 several times. I have renamed the car's bluetooth name several times as well.
Is anyone else experiencing a similar issue, or can you test it with your car audio systems and let me know if it works for you?
Let me know if there some information I should provide to better understand the issue.
Thanks,
Rob
Hey robmtx, this might help you out. Theres an app in the market called bluetooth fix repair.
I had the same issue with my last two droids (1 and 3), and this solved the dropped connections. good luck
Thanks.
I'll give that a try.
I've also been reading how this might be more of an ICS issue than a device issue. It appears there are similar discussions in other device threads. I'll keep researching and also try this app.
I used my S3 in a rented car a view days ago and paired it with the installed Ford car stereo.
I played MP3 via Bluetooth and made some calls via Bluetooth. It all worked flawless. I also did not see any checkboxes for "call audio" or "media audio".
When I left the car and came back later it connected automatically. So I guess the problem is not a general problem.
this happens on mine as well from stock XALE8 to the latest XALF5. i went ahead and posted on samsung's FB page..but doubt we'll get a response
by the way, ive had this same issue whether im connecting to a bluetooth 2.0 or bluetooth 3.0 headset/car kit.
Right I might know the answer to this as I had the same problem as few weeks ago.
If you have Facebook, twitter, whatsapp or anything like this best thing is to get rid of them if you don't want to go to your accounts and sync on your phone and untick the sync with contacts on any of the apps you have installed.
Then go to call log and clear your call history.
Delete the bluetooth pairing turn the phone off and back on, repair with the car, mine has worked perfectly since I did this.

yes this is your firmware version. settings > about > build number > I9300XXALF5. this is the most current. stock should be I9300XXALE8. under baseband version is your modem (which should contain the drivers for your 3G radio/bluetooth/wifi (i think)

bluetooth bug
I have a strange problem with my bluetooth audio...I have a Denso radio in my Ford Mondeo and the nightmare starts whan I connect phone via bluetooth to it. Phone some time don´t wake up from sleep. The only way how to solve (partialy) this is to reset phone (long press of power button). Then phone connect perfectly and everything is working like a charm. This problem I had on every rom I´ve tried yet
Every other phone I´ve had before didn´t suffer such prblems (galaxy note, evo 3d...)
Somebody could help? I don´t know what to do...
Same Issue
I'm having the exact same issue with my SG3 (Stock, not rooted *yet*). The initial pair works great - phone and audio sync. Once I shut the car off and back on again, the Phone connection does not automatically initiate and I have to manually connect it on my head unit. I'm driving a 2013 Mazda CX5. It's not my headunit since both my HTC Inspire 4G and HTC One X connect without issue. Another annoyance is the lack of song titles or other ID3 info on screen. Even my old Inspire had that!
My connection is great, but I am having an issue with tags. I'm using PowerAmp, but my Alpine unit displays the wrong song info - it automatically uses the default app. Is there any way to fix this?

i have the exact same problem, having before a Milestone/Droid 1 and a Galaxy S1, both have functioned flawlessly with my car...
By the way, my car is a Renault Fluence 2011, maybe it uses the same BT chip as your Altima as Renault and Nissan are pratically the same manufacturer...

ICS ROM with Voice Command?

Do any of the ICS ROMs available on XDA have Voice Command that will work with a BT headset?
Or has anyone found an app that enables you to voice dial from a BT headset? I've scoured the forums and haven't found a solution that works for my AT&T Galaxy S2.
I'm running Serendipity and it doesn't have it. I've also tried Vlingo and Cyberon without success. Shocking that Google wouldn't carry voice command over from GB!!
I just found a vlingo apk that is really the Samsung Voice Command from GB ported to ICS. It works well.
I've attached it for those interested.
I think that was something samsung messed up, not sure though

Follow up for Voice Command
I have been testing the Voice Command apk I attached in my previous post and it works well except for one fairly big problem. Voice Command doesn't work when my phone's screen is off. As soon as I turn on the screen by pressing the Power button (but with the lockscreen still on), VC works fine.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately I don't have any ideas...I'm in the same boat. I'm using the samsung VC app (pulled from sammy ICS - I posted it up for someone, somewhere a while ago) on Task/Ktoons AOKP. It works perfectly fine launching from the BT headset button if the screen is on, but it won't wake the screen - I haven't been able to get it to work on any custom ROM actually...
Hmmm...now that you brought this up, I wonder if it's possible to integrate this into a tasker profile to make the BT headset button wake the screen, then launch VC?
Thanks for getting me thinking...guess I have an idea after all...

Which BT headset are you using (I just bought the Blueant Q2)? I was hoping that it wasn't just my headset, so I wouldn't have to return it.

Well, digging around in tasker, it appears it does not have a Bluetooth button trigger. Or if it does, I'm looking in the wrong place for it. I haven't actually tried, but it appears to be possible to force the phone either to screen off awake state, or full screen on awake upon bt connection. This would at least automate the process upon initial Bluetooth connection followed by an immediate call. Doesn't fix the problem of a user wanting to initiate a call on a stable idle connection though... gonna keep digging a little more.
I'm using an LG headset I got for 6 bucks from newegg 2 years ago. More reliable and better battery life by far than the 2 previous 70 dollar motorolas...
