[Q]Support for BT mouse - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

When I try to connect my bluetooth mouse to the Xperia S it says "Paired but not connected".
Is there another way to do this or I am doing anything wrong?
I am using stock XX.73 Firmware.

Tried.. the same ... I could use same mouse with Galaxy Nexus so maybe ICS only support this

Hi calibx
I had the same with connecting bluetooth keyboard saying pair but not connected. However, i can pair and used the keyboard with my Mac Pro bluetooth. Seems like something wrong with the xperia s bluetooth software. Hope Sony can get it fix with a cumulative update.
Same .73 Firmware.

Just bought an OTG USB cable. My Logitech USB Receiver (unity) works without any problem !
It seems Sony include usb mouse support in the Xperia S but not BT mouse.

RF keyboard mouse had no issue as the Sony boutique did just that. The only problem is BT which cannot seems to work. Even there is a youtube showing problem with BT headset. Otherwise, i will connect a wired keyboard instead.

Do you know wich rom support bluetooth mouse for the htc amaze ?

ICS have some improvement in BT but is far from work like we all desire.

Sony don't developed a driver to make easily the use of BT HID devices, so many users give up and uses OTG, so then buy a pricey dock for Sony victory... but here you find a nice alternative.

App to connect a BT Mouse?

I have a Nexus Galaxy, I'm wondering if it's possible to connect a BT mouse to it and what app I'd need to use to help pair them?
Thanks!

Because I have HDMI out and it would allow me to [easily] control the phone from a distance.
I've got a GN and a Bluetooth mouse and they work together just fine. Pair with the mouse from within the Bluetooth settins thingy and it'll be good to go. Same with the Bluetooth keyboard I got.

You're right - my BT mouse worked without having to setup anything additional, no extra apps, I just went to the Blue Tooth screen, enabled it and it found the mouse right away!
FYI - mouse was nothing special, just an extra one I had laying around from my old Dell, turns out the other mice I was testing with weren't actually BT, that was the disconnect!
Thanks!

[Q] Apple Bluetooth Keyboard

I have a aluminium apple bluetooth keyboard. When I connect it to my tablet I put in the passcode to pair it and then check the box to use it as an input device, but when I go to type anywhere it doesn't do anything and the touchscreen keyboard comes up. I have tried the tablet with a wired keyboard, which works fine.
Thats odd. Ive paired mine as you and when i press any key the internal keyboard goes off. Are you sure you have set it up as the default keyboard?
How do I do this? In language and input I can only choose standard keyboard as the default.
YOU must type the correct Numbercode and hit the Enter Button on the Keyboard. This works i hope

I have an Apple Bluetooth Keyboard and want to use it with my Xperia Tablet S 32gb,
I input the 4 digit code and it pairs, but it doesn't input anything. Strangely, it works on my Xperia S mobile phone!
I posted here about it! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1908522
If you have any ideas, please can you post for me?

Hey there, I do believe this comes down to incompatibilities with the version of bluetooth supported. Eg my my bluetooth mouse works on my laptop and galaxy s 2, but not my tablet s. My bluetooth key board which I know to be bluetooth 2.0 works fine on all. No idea what the mouse is, it was just a cheapo one with limited specs available. Wroks great on compatible devices though
Hi DreadPirateDan!
thanks for your reply,

I understand a bit about Bluetooth Human Interface Device Profile (HID) and wonder if some genius has worked out a way to get these to work together..
But guess I will have to give up! I have the case with keyboard for the Xperia Tablet S but the viewing angle is not good for me. Maybe I will find a cheap Bluetooth keyboard.
The Sony one - http://www.sony.co.uk/product/other-sony-tablet-accessories/sgp-wkb1 is a bit too pricey!

The Tablet S doesn't support Apple Bluetooth keyboard is because the kernel excluded module hid-apple. You can root your tablet to support it.

I not sure whether to root yet. Only experience is with my Samsung 7" tablet, and that must be 2 years ago now...
Then I am not sure how to add the correct Bluetooth profile!
Lots of reading and research to do!

[Q] Pair PS3 Controller with Dancing Pixel Studios App. Help!!!

So I bought a cheap OTG cable off amazon to connect my ps3 controller to my phone. I followed all Dancing Pixel Studios' instructions and I can use my controller while its plugged in, but it won't pair through bluetooth. When I press start it connects to the controller, but after it connects I try to click pair controller and it says "No controller found - please connect it via USB cable. The cable I bought is kind of janky, it only works when I position the cable just right. I don't think the cable is the problem because I get it to connect and I keep the cable in the exact same position and click pair and still nothing. I even tried pairing it in the bluetooth menu but it just keeps pairing and pairing, and nothing happens. BTW, I am on the latest cm9 build from gray wolf with little to no issues. Any help would be awesome!!!

I've been using my PS3 controller with a Nexus 7 so it should work pretty much the same. To get it to pair through bluetooth, you must go to the dancing pixel website and download a little exe called something along the lines of bluetooth address changer or something like that. This will let you change the bluetooth address of the controller to the bluetooth address of your rezound. The controller will then pair with your phone through bluetooth. hope this helped!

If it's still not pairing I would make sure that the bluetooth address of the controller matches the one of your rezound because that happened to me the first time I tried to pair it with my nexus 7.

Yep, just double checked it and it is exactly the same... this is annoying. I appreciate your help thus far though.
update: I just connected my controller to my phone, opened sixaxis app and pressed Start and it found the controller right away, so I pressed Change IME and chose ps3 controller and I used the d-pad and square to choose pair controller and click pair. It still said no controller found. Bahahaha!!!!

Hahaha nice, a faulty app! Glad I could help
If I remember right it's a Bluetooth stack/ Bluetooth driver issue on the
Rezound and other Sense phones. I believe there are some Non-Sense Roms that have the correct Stack/driver that will fix the issue but I can't remember which ones they are sorry. Also have you tried Wii remote? That works for me even on Sense Roms.

You are correct, the only way to pair a ps3 controller on an HTC device, is to be rooted, and have an aosp, or an aokp Rom on ur phone. That's it. Plus.... You need to have an OEM ps3 controller. Any cheapo controller won't work

Ps3 controller problem

I can connect my original Ps3 controller to my Z2 wired and this if working well but it's not working wireless after disconnecting the cable When I disconnect the cable all leds are blinking on my controller. My bluetooth is working fine and I'm on the latest stock 314 rooted and bootloader locked.

you have to pair via bluetooth to use wirelessly
perhaps try turning controler on
then phone bluetooth
then select ps3 controler

When I try to pair via bluetooth directly without cable my Z2 doesn't see the controller at all.
When connecting via Xperia connection it only works wired.
I'm sure my bluetooth function on my Z2 and controller is working just fine.

Yes I will try further.
ps: I will charge my controller fully altough i know it's not empty and try again later
You can't find the controller because it is hidden. The only way to connect it with bluetooth is to write phone's Bluetooth adress to controller's memory. Try resetting dualshock 3(find in google how to do it). It helped me once when it didn't want to work. Hope it helps.
EDIT: That's also why USB cable is needed. To write things to controller's memory.
I have reset my controller with the reset button on the back and tried again but still no luck. I have tried my friends controller and it works flawlessly. I have tried to connect my controller with the sixaxis controller app and this worked as well. Any suggestions or shall I have to use the sixaxis controller app as I am rooted anyway?

Working Devices

Belkin F3U047 10/100 Ethernet Adapter working - working (Had to boot into recovery and then reboot before it works. If I unplug Nexus Player and reboot, it stops working until I boot into recovery and reboot again)
Nyko Playpad Pro - Working in G Play games that I have from store etc.. but not so great in some emulators yet (still working on it)
diNova Mini Bluetooth keyboard - Cannot get it connected

Did they make a bluetooth version? I have two K400 keyboards and they are both Logitech Unifying connections; I am using one with the Nexus Player via the USB dongle and it works fine.

xBIGREDDx - My bad. Yes, it is a wireless Unifying keyboard (NOT bluetooth). Nonetheless, mine did not work. I know the dongle is fine as it's recognized by windows, so I'll try again tonight.

Oh! I missed where you said yours had worked. That's awesome to hear. I'll give it a shot myself when mine comes in. Did you have to do anything special?
Nope. Just pulled the receiver out of my PC and connected it to the Player with an OTG adapter. Works through an OTG hub as well.

My dumbass.... Had wrong dongle.
Found correct one and K400 works.
Sweet! I'm going to use the K700, which came with the Logitech Revue (Google TV). We kept using and were really happy with the Revue, to honest. But it died about a week for the NP went on sale. Timing was perfect, but we balked when it first went on sale, and then it was taken off the market for a few days. I bought a Unifying adapter, and configured the K700 on my PC, and it works great. I also tested it on my Oneplus One over OTG, and it's fantastic. Love that the home and back keys work, and the touchpad.
I've tested a Rii RT-MWK02 Mini Wireless Keyboard and it seems to work fine via Bluetooth - http://www.amazon.com/Rii-RT-MWK02-Wireless-Keyboard-Pointer/dp/B00BVZZG0C
I haven't done extensive testing but it does work.

Microsoft Wedge Mobile Bluetooth Keyboard --- Working
EDIT:
Microsoft Sculpt Comfort Bluetooth Mouse --- Working Kind of
Found that once it was connected if I activated voice search and then jumped out to the home screen while it was still connected, it would keep the mouse connected... otherwise I would just receive the same error.

Logitech Dinovo Edge works beautifully
paired the keyboard and it works nicely. installed xmbc through google browser using this keyboard and built in mouse...
K700 Keyboard
K700 Logitech keyboard, that came with the Revue works. I got a cheap Unifying dongle for it, configured/pair them on my PC. And plugged it to a hub via OTG, and it works pretty great. Things like the volume/mute and some Function buttons don't work. But for typing and the D-pad and touchpad/mouse works great.
Installed ES Filemanager, and it can read a USB Flash Drive, and sideload apps from it.
I'm really happy with this so far.
