I have a 16gb HP Touchpad running webOS 3.0.4. Anyway, I was messing around with the Bluetooth on my TP and was trying Bluetooth this photo to my TP from my Nokia Lumia 710 Windows phone and I forgot it was still connected and my TP started ringing and I noticed my phone was also and I was able to answer it with the touchpad and talk and hear the other person. It was so cool lol. I have been trying to get that to work a while ago and gave up because none of my other phones I had ever worked. I also remembered a thread on what phones worked with the touchpad but couldn't find it to add that Nokia Lumia 710 WORKED and possibly all or some other windows phones works.
It also works on samsung galaxy S!

my u8800 is working that way with tp webos too. Its sooo cool, i wish i could do that running android too,
Yeah, one of the last couple updates made it so that option was available for all phones. But not text messaging. I think it depends on the phone. I dont see why something hasnt been made for an android tablet and an android phone to do the same thing. Its just a bluetooth connection. Whats so hard about that?
By the way OP, I beleive the latest webOS version for the Touchpad is 3.0.5 if you wanna try updating.
I made a thread about this, you can get some phones to support the text messaging with the touchpad, go to the link below.

I spent three hours with Moto level two tech support to try to get either the phone portal or the media sync to work on windows 7 32 bit pro running Chrome 15, EI 9, and firefox 5 to work correctly either via usb or wifi. I keep getting security blocks (insecure content) even though I whitelist the IP address/port and no program is blocking it.
When on USB media sync just sits there trying to connect with the phone until it times out.
I have had an Epic 4g work, A HTC EVO3D work and it strikes me that the Moto software just sucks. What Level two said was to go back two to three generations on my browsers to try that as that is what they developed it for. Great, the wonderful software development team at Moto did not test the new product on anything remotely close to current software.
Plus I can not get the damn thing to recognize the unit on any powered usb hub. I have to dedicate a port directly from my computer (never had to do that before even in the Palm days).
I left Samsung due to their ineptness in software development for the Epic 4g waiting for updates but now I wonder if I made an even worse choice with the Photon software capability.
Phone portal is working great for me on Wifi. That's all I've tried.

I just recently bought a white galaxy s2 from newegg. I have an MHL to HDMI cable incoming, and when I saw that you could use a mouse with the device, I was really excited.
link: I'm too new to post links, but search google for "magic mouse samsung s2" and the youtube link should pop up first.
However, even though I am able to pair a mouse (I've tried a magic mouse and a mini presentation Microsoft Bluetooth mouse so far) when it connects, it instantly disconnects... and it keeps doing that over and over.
Bluetooth is able to keep a connection with other devices, like a headset and transfer data over bluetooth to my computer.
When I called Samsung support, first the girl didn't know connecting to a mouse was possible, and upon seeing the video, her response was why would I ever want to do that, and there was nothing she could do to help.
I saw other threads mentioning bluetooth problems could be fixed with a factory reset, but after doing so I have identical behavior. I don't think its a hardware issue, and I applied the newest update 2.3.5... I'm really confused here. What should I do? Any other details required? Maybe my magic mouse just doesn't like my phone?
From what I have heard apple magic mouse does not connect correctly.do you or a friend have a different bt mouse to test?

I have now tested the Bluetooth with a Logitech lazer Bluetooth mouse, in addition to the magic mouse and Microsoft mouse, with the same results. Does anyone else have this problem? Could the mouse HID been disabled by Samsung? or should I do a hardware warantee exchange?

I bought a cheap (8€) noname bluetooth mouse from amazon and it works perfectly on the Galaxy S2 on the stock rom, it also works on my Galaxy S running CM7.
Are you sure you have set your mouse to pairing mode?
(I had to press the connect button for 5 seconds)
I'm sure it's pairing. I press and hold connect on the mouse until it becomes visible to my galaxy s2. It ends up showing up as paired after I tap, but when I tap again, it only connects for a second (enough that the options for that device now show me HID) but it just drops immediately. But perhaps these mice with special buttons (like the Microsoft presentation mouse) and apple mice, and the Logitech mouse, are all beyond the scope of running on the phone.
I bought a super basic and cheap bluetooth mouse ($15 cdn) from amazon, it should arrive in 1-2 weeks. I'll follow up with this then. If the phone can't connect to that, I'm going to call Samsung and ask for a hardware exchange.
Also, I may be able to get my hands on a USB host cable, to see if i can get any mouse period working.
I really can't imagine it being faulty hardware though, considering all other Bluetooth functions work? or am I incorrect in assuming that?
So I decided to see what happens with a Bluetooth keyboard, and indeed I get the same result, connecting for a second then dropping.
I'm going to exchange my unit for a new one, hopefully that solves the issue. I'm getting paranoid that something is different with the white galaxy s2, can someone extinguish those fears for me?

Alright, follow up post. The new phone connects to mice/keyboards fine. It is current on 2.3.3. Could someone with an updated 2.3.5 s2 just confirm that the feature still works after update?
Edit: Ok, i let me phone upgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.3.5, and nothing can pair once again. Wow. Did Sammy really remove this functionality?
Final edit: Flash stock 2.3.6, and mouse will work again. So to recap, 2.3.3 good, 2.3.6 good, 2.3.5 bad
I have an Apple Mighty Mouse which work fine with my SGS1. It doesn't connect to SGS2. Same issue, the connection drops out after a second. My SGS2 is running on 2.3.6 Batista ROM with Siyah 2.3 kernel.
HID Bluetooth killed by 2.3.5 upgrade
Hi, I think I have a good picture of what has happened having trawlled the net looking for answers. In summary:
2.3.3 and 2.3.4 supported and worked with bluetooth HID devices (like my sandberg mini bluetooth keyboard).
2.3.5 as suggested by Samsung key's had issues with bluetooth from the start. It all looked good until you turned bluetooth on then it went into a FREEZE, BLACK SCREEN, LOCK SCREEN cycle with a 20-30 second window at best to try and turn bluetooth off once you realised it, repeating "ad infinitum".
Some folks found that a factory reset cured this. I got a replacement from Otrange UK after a lengthy discussion!
BUT however you may have fixed this is seems that any bluetooth HID device (Mouse, Keyboard) will not stay connected against 2.3.5. They pair ok, they even actually connect for a fraction of a second then bomb out again.
I just spoke to Orange UK Tech who in turn spoke to Samsung who said they were "Not aware" of the issue but would "Escalate a resolution" and get back to me. 2.3.6 is supposedly about to come out for Orange UK within "2 Months" and will contain a fix. Apparently. Looking at other stuff, 2.3.6 does appear to be the best hope.
They confirmed something though; 2.3.5 back to 2.3.3 / 2.3.4 is not supported/advised/safe so waiting for the new version is the only hope.
All this, so the lists won't bounce a'la APPLE and have a blue "bottom of list" flash instead... Ok, maybe there was some good stuff in the rom but it's kinda been overshadowed for me
Good luck out there and hold on to your hope!
I heard back from Samsung support today (Orange having referred my case).
They said that their 2.3.5 was new (erm, yes) and that it wasn't backwards compatible, and for any devices that no longer worked I would have to get that devices supplier to provide new software on that device.
They used a car kit as an example.
So I specifically asked "Are you saying you released an update without any warning, that would render all previosuly compatible bluetooth HID hardware incompatible?" And he answered that this was the case and that I would have to ask Sandberg to update my device so that it would connect to 2.3.5
Now, either he had absolutely no idea what he was talking about, or there is something very wrong at Samsung.
I have asked for him to confirm this to me in an email. (I intend to make use of this writen statement if it confirms the above conversation.)
Has anyone else ever heard anything so bizzarre?
I surely hope this can't be right!
Hey all, I bought the TP and it came with a bluetooth keyboard which is extremely responsive and portable - it works awesome with the HP software, anyway.
I wanted to use it with my phones (CM7 Inspire 4g and CM7 Evo 4g) at first and found basically nothing on the subject, but then I got a wild hair and tried it with the CM7 Touchpad - NOTHING. Even though it still has the settings and works great with the webOS software.
Any ideas? I'm sure I'm not the only one!
Mine works. Are you just turning it on or is it failing to pair?

i have the samsung note AT&T with ICS 4.0.3 and i cannot answer my calls from the MOTOACTV or return calls from it. the call back button is grey out i can't press it to received calls or to call back. i also have the motorola sf600 bluetooth , i can see the call on the device but i can't answer from it i have to use the button on the bluetooth to answer my calls.
I have a MOTOACTV and did some testing last night using my Note and my Motorola Atrix.
I have a bluetooth headset, and after connecting it I could not answer calls using the MOTOACTV with EITHER phone. I then connected a wired headset and was able to answer calls using the MOTOACTV, but only on the Atrix, not on the Note.
Just curious--did you install the hacked app before Moto released the new app that is supposed to work on any phone?
I tried it with my Gnote and I coulldnt get ANY notifications from the phone at all. And yes its connected. I have tried both the modified version and the newest version of the motoactv app. I also clicked yes and no when deciding what phone I have. ie with motorola phone ver2.1+.
My motoactv is rooted with Cleardroid 1.1.2A rom. Firmware version is 1.1.6. Any help to even get the SMS notification would be greatly appreciated.
Updated: Turns out Handscent SMS is not supported. Now I can see notifications, calling and text. However I cannot answer through the motoactv. I dont even know if i can do that...Any answer would help.
i have since returned my to bestbuy
i don't think it's possible to get all the fuctions working if you don't have a motorola phone. i gave up i went and got all my money back from them. **** this, i'll wait for samsung to come out with one that does with everything or at lease works with samsung phones.i'm not about to buy a motorola phone just to get this thing to work lol.
I have been using the Sony Smartwatch for the last week on the note and been working great! love it! havent charged it in 5 days!
yep the Sony watch looks nice but it is really a different device than the Motoactv.
Primarily the Motoactv has a GPS. I the Moto for golf, marathon training and bicycling. It has wifi auto connectivity and upload and auto sensor connections to Heartrate monitor, bicycle cadence, etc.
It does have a few software issues such as interval training, short battery life, and i can't get it to work at all via bluetooth with my Note. IT connects but that's it...no messages, etc. LUCKILY the problem areas aren't of interest to me but I can see where it is frustrating for those who do need those features.
For my activities...golf, running, bicycling...it's awesome. Was the gorilla glass since it can break...just like smartphones.
where did you get from ?

Have you tried using the earphones that came with the device? (ie. sf200)
Also try this: Go to bluetooth settings on the Note and click on the Motoactv. It should say something like "Connected to phone audio" under the device name. That's how I got my wired earphones to work. For some reason it doesn't automatically connect.
Haven't tried it with a bluetooth headset though.
Sorry for posting here. Old thread, but I think this is going to help.
Tried this with My S3 and my motoactv and worked well. You have to sync your headset to your motoactv AND your gnote.

Not what I wanted but It works and I can answer calls right from the Headset (i'm using a jaybird freedom btw)
hope it helps!!

Sorry this is a reply to an old post, but I was really interested in getting the Sony Smartwatch but was a little let down when the site sad it would only work with certain phones and the Note wasnt listed. Have you have any issues?
Hi All,
I'm pretty sure this topic has been posted up before, but open ended threads usually closed with no definite answers.
I've got the TF201, and quite simply want to use bluetooth (hands free) headset on Skype.
Going into a fair few forums, this is quite a frustration and disappointment that it works on ipads, phones and windows.
But I've tried this on Nexus 7 and TF201 of which are using JB, and even used a modded skype to make the bluebooth work, which it doesnt.
Anyone else have this issue or know a solution to this?
Ive bought :
officeworks com au/retail/products/Technology/Phones/Mobile-Phones/Bluetooth-Accessories/PL8813009
and
laser bluetooth headset
which both doesnt work on skype.
Thanks in advance!
