So since HTC has issues with Bluetooth compatibility, I was wondering:
Do any of you have bluetooth gamepads? Which ones? Do they work?
I've heard This one is pretty good, but it's out of stock, and I haven't seen anywhere that it's actually compatible with the Evo 3D. I'm just looking to find something real quick to set up my super portable omni gaming console (Controller + MHL Adapter + Evo 3D) and I don't want to buy something that doesn't work.
Prefer something with analog sticks, too. Not just the cross pad.
Input is appreciated! Thanks.
It's the Bluetooth 3.0 that is making all of your old ones incompatible, it's not HTC's fault. More Bluetooth 3.0 accessories will be out soon enough though.
Evo 3D is confirmed to support the bluetooth HID profile, therefore the Phonejoy will work - heres my demo with the HTC Sensation (forward to 3:30):
More info here including stuff on the new Phonejoy version with analog sticks, the video is using a Galaxy SII, but it will work the same with the Evo 3D. I recommend it highly!
I have a Zeemote ZS1 and it wouldn't pair because the sense bluetooth stack requires the HID device to type in a numeric code but obviously there's no way to do that from a gamepad.
So is there any point in pre ordering a phone joy controller ? with the e3d
icontrolpad works just fine too

You don't need to pair from bluetooth settings, it can all be done from within Bluez IME. All you do is long press the pin text entry field and change the input method to one of the keyboards on your handset, then change the input method back to Bluez IME after inputting the code...
The link I provided above has a tutorial video on pairing that shows you how, if you need it.
Can't see any reason for the Zeemote not to work where the Phonejoy does...

I have a DesireHD and i use bluezIME to connect to my Icontrolpad. Does it work without bluezIME on the Evo3d or Sensation? I mean directly through HID profile?
This would be awesome because this would theoretically mean if I use a Sense 3 rom which is basically a port from the Sensation rom, it would also work on the DHD.
BluezIME is just fine, but there is no analog support for FPSE/N64oid^^

I tried that, and tried it again after your post but it doesn't work for me... when i switch to another IME then put focus on the dialog asking for the pin, and enter the code nothing happens. When I hit enter from the keyboard IME it says "authentication failed"
Any other tips?
Which code are you using? Can't remember the Zeemote code off the top of my head, but should be either 0000 or 1234.
well when the evo 3d sense tries to pair, it generates a random 6-digit code and asks you to enter it in from the zeemote. when i switch ime's to touch input or swype and enter the code on the dialog box it doesn't pick it up. i tried using 0000 (which is the default code for the zeemote) but it didn't work. i think sense has a funky bluetooth stack that insists on using that pairing method
That's weird, because with the vast majority of BT devices you obviously can't enter a custom code provided by the phone... Anyway, Phonejoys are entering production again, I ordered one (mostly for my tablet but I'll try it on phone too). The shipping is kinda steep but it's still cheaper than most other controllers, even stock PS3 pads. The order page is kinda hard to access from a phone browser, it's a cascading menu that wouldn't open for me so I used a direct link someone shared, if you have trouble just access it from a PC.
Catpunt,
I had exactly the same issue, but I've just found an Android app recently published by Zeemote that successfully paired the Zeemote with my HTC EVO 3D. It's called "JS1 Quick Start Application" on the Android Market:
market.android.com/details?id=com.zeemote.android.js1.quickstart
The app first tried to auto-pair the JS1, and when that failed it asked me to choose 1 of 3 manual methods for pairing. The one that worked for me was #3. The Bluetooth device status is now "Paired but not connected." So now Bluez-IME connects to the Zeemote, and it works perfectly.
There are also a few games out there that have built-in Zeemote support that don't need JS1 Quick Start or Bluez-IME, such as SpeedX 3D and Overkill.
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.

Okay, I was thinking about an app to make...
The perfect idea hit my brain.
It involves using my android phone as an input device, and then controlling my Galaxy Tab with it. It would be a magic mouse, just for Android to Tablet.
I have ideas of going about this, but I'm not sure it's possible.
1. Build the mouse app on the phone, to mimic a mouse, or track pad. Then make Bluetooth functionality like the app that pairs PS3 and Android Phones. Add the track pad area, buttons, scroolbar on the right hand side, some nice GUI, and bam, it's paired and working.
2. Build the mouse app on the phone, to mimic a mouse, or track pad. Then create a receiving server app for the tablet, that includes settings, mouse speed, the connection, login, etc. Then make some kind of something on the phone to be able to connect and communicate with the tablet's server app, to allow it to be set, paired and then working.
Would either two of these be possible?
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 have an old Samsung centura that I rooted recently. It is not hooked up to any service but I would like to tether it in my car via bluetooth. I have enabled bluetooth on my S3 and I do get the pin code pop up. But after that, the centura just says pairing and when it does seem to pait I can't get internet to work. Is there another setting or order of events I need to do?
