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 had an OnCourse BT-339 hanging around in the house. I used it for my Dell Axim 51v. So I thought I would give it a try connecting to my gtab. I have read many posts about connection issue but can't find one specific to my issue. I cannot get the gtab bluetooth to pair with the gps. I tried my bluetooth headset and that connected fine. Is my gps unit outdated or am I doing something wrong.
I just paired my OnCourse BT-339 with my Nook Color running CM7 RC4 so it should work for you as well. I had to download an app from the marketplace called "Bluetooth GPS". Just download the app and launch. If no devices are paired it will take you to the pairing screen, this time it should pair (I too could not pair before downloading this app even though I could see the BT-339 in the list of BT devices). Once paired, it should show the BT-339 in a pull-down list. Just hit connect and it should connect.
Hope it works.
Tried connecting various devices to my rooted Photon via Bluetooth and ran into some issues...
-My Motorola S9 earphones pair up just fine (go figure, made by Motorola).
-Tried to connect to my desktop for OBEX and the phone is only being recognized as a Dial Up Network connection. There is no option given for OBEX.
-Tried to connect to my MS Wireless Entertainment Keyboard 7000 to use with the dock. The phone recognizes it and tries to pair with it, but it asks me to type a passcode to confirm the connection, can't input the code from the keyboard side, so the connection fails.
Anyone else having any issues with Bluetooth? I know my desktop supports OBEX and just about any other Bluetooth profile so I don't think the problem is with the computer. The same for the keyboard, since I use it with my computer with no issues. I'm pretty sure the issues are with the Bluetooth profiles on the Photon...
I have the 6000 keyboard and there is a bit of a dance you have to do in order to pair it with an Android device. I had figured this out from trying to pair it with my gtablet. When it asks for the passkey you need to type a 4 digit number on the phone and on the keyboard. The dance part is that you also have to hit enter on the keyboard right after you type the passkey on it and have hit the button on the phone. It will take you a couple of times to get the timing right but it will work. The first time I got it to work with my gtablet it took several minutes of messing with it to get it to pair.

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?
Got the Arctic P311 bluetooth headphones and tried to pair them to my prime.
It Pairs and then drops to available devices, I go to pair it again and it tells me that it cannot pair because of incorrect pin or passkey.
There is no spot to put in the pin or passkey
While it was connected I was able to go into settings for the device and it shows a change name field and media and phone
It does not stay connected long enough to do anything and while connected does not have audio
Stays connected for about 10 seconds
I have no roms or firmware just up to date android system.
Have seen that other people have these connected to there prime without problem.
If it helps, tried to connect a Motorola Bluetooth keyboard and it connects then immediately gos back to available each time i try to pair it
I'm finding the pairing of the Folio Keyboard with my Nexus 9 to be problematic. I'm not sure if this is because there's an issue with NFC on either device or I'm just doing it wrong.
Pairing the keyboard using only bluetooth works but needs to be triggered by selecting the already paired with keyboard in bluetooth settings and can take 10s of seconds before it is connected. I expected that the keyboard would connect as soon as it came in range of the NFC chip, but it doesn't. I think NFC at least partially works as the keyboard is detected by the tablet as a trusted device via NFC. When I follow the directions to pair the keyboard via NFC by placing the tablet on it in the right manner it does not pair though I hear a tone when the doing it, that doesn't happen when I change the orientation of the tablet. From this I conclude that the NFC hardware works but something in my use of it, the configuration of the tablet or a system bug is stopping it working properly.
1) Is it a reasonable expectation that I can be expect once pairing has been completed that placing the tablet on the keyboard will be recognised by NFC without having to lay the tablet in the manner described in keyboard documentation?
2) Assuming the desired outcome as described above is possible will this trigger the tablet to turn on bluetooth (if it is turned off) or is it necessry for bluetooth to be either manually turned on, left on or find some other mechanism that triggers bluetooth to be turned on in order to connect the keyboard?
3) Is it a reasonable expectation that keyboard and tablet to be quickly connected (in a second or so) via bluetooth?
1. Once they're paired. They're paired, no need for nfc.
2. It will not turn on bluetooth automatically. Just leave bluetooth on at all times.
3. Mine connects pretty quickly once I learned the proper method to do it, that being with bluetooth on, slide the camera portion of the table slowly over the portion of the folio just above the number row. And visa versa to unpair.
The only annoying thing about this keyboard folio is the fact that I need to turn back on the "hardware input" to either see the on screen keyboard when not using the tablet, and turn off the onscreen keyboard when using the folio keyboard. I wish it did that automatically. I'm either missing something, or need to figure out a way to do that with tasker, via touch imputs or something.
Yeah, once you connect via bluetooth, NFC is no longer needed.
The frustration I am experiencing is that once the keyboard is paired and connected...if I turn bluetooth off or it disconnects, it won't automatically reconnect the next time BT is turned on. Am I missing something here? It's like the keyboard is asleep and the nexus can't find it to connect to.

I generally just touch an input then hit a button on the folio keyboard. In about 1 or 2 seconds the letter will show up and the on screen keyboard will disappear. From there I just type normally.
