Currently I have an E4GT, and my BT works great. I can connect my S9-HDs, PS3 controller, wii-mote without a hitch.
This wasn't the case with my OGEvo, the audio would cut in and out, and I couldn't connect any controllers without being on CM.
Is there any info about the BT stack on the 4G LTE? I'm asking here because I assume that it's different that in the OneX, if I'm incorrect let me know and I'll ask over there.
It looks like it has many more profiles then og 4G. I saw some has a wiimote paired with one x (although it is laggy)

I think they'll probably have the same stack. WiiMotes work fine with my One X, I didn't have trouble with latency. My Phonejoy also works fine. PS3 controllers work with Root via Sixaxis app, although I'm presently locked to stock while reviewing the handset for Telecom NZ, so haven't personally confirmed that.
Bluetooth audio should be much better, since BT 4.0 has much higher bandwidth for audio streaming (although the receiving device may end up being the bottle neck). If you have a receiving device that is also Apt-X capable then the audio will be excellent, basically the same as wired up to around 370kbps (the Samsung HS3000 is cheap, versatile, and has Apt-X).

I just read on another thread that our EVO does not have BT 4.0. Does the One X have it though?

Really? I'd be surprised if it didn't, since all the other One series phones do (maybe not the One V, but the others at any rate).
Yes, the international One X has BT 4.0

This is what the build.prop from the latest Jewel leak says:
Code:
# system property for Bluetooth Hardware information
ro.product.bluetooth=4.0
That suggests BT 4.0 to me.
Hope my icontrolpad works with it. From these comments it looks like it should. I like stock but a huge reason I want this phone is to run emulators on that awesome screen and have it propped up nice on that kickstand during my lunch hour.
I've already bought the Sixaxis app from the Play Store as I use that with my PS3 controller on my Prime. Would be great if it really does work on the Evo LTE as I wouldn't even have to spend any more cash.

I have read that the bluetooth stack is not same as og evo. I am curious if anyone had info on this. If it its true it might and I stress might allow us to use bt devices such as wii or ps3 controllers. Now with full hdmi mirroring this could make for the ultimate gaming phone for those into emulation. What are ur thoughts?

i use a wiimote on my evo4g now. Just have to run an AOSP rom not SENSE.
I love the idea of emulating from my phone like I do now, playing Final Fantasy 3/6, 7, Tactics with a wiimote is already epic on the phone, couldn't imagine on a huge TV so easily now too. I ned a tv worth it though.
I have not found any custom roms I trust enough to void my warranty for. I have ran cm6 and cm7 and I did like them but as many phones as I have went through especially my hero last year ill stick with stock sense and hope evo 3d will allow such bt devices such as wii or ps3 remotes to work

what does the thread title and the OP have to do with each other?
The Evo 4G supports bluetooth profiles like A2DP for wireless stereo headsets, and FTP and OPP (object push) for file transfers. But when it comes to connecting an interface device, it does not support bluetooth HID (human interface device) profiles. It only supports SPP (serial port protocal).
Which is why things like the MSI BGP100, and the FreedomPro Keyboard work with it. Both of these devices use SPP bluetooth profiles. Drivers were created and released in the market, and a stock Evo 4G can connect to these.
Everyone blamed the HTC Sense interface for why we couldn't connect HID devices, (Wii Mote, and several keyboards, mice, etc). Which is why the OP mentions Sense 3D, because he still thinks it was sense that did it. It wasn't actually Sense that did it. HTC just never built bluetooth HID profiles into the phone.
AOSP roms don't have sense, but they are also built from ground 0, so they have HID profiles built into them. A lot of people have mistakenly thought that it was taking Sense completely out, that brought bluetooth HID back in, but it was really just coincidence.
For example, iPhones don't come with HID profiles, but someone in Cydia released an app that alters the bluetooth stack for you, and adds additional profiles. Theoretically, someone could have done this for the Evo 4G, but no one has yet.
That being said, I have seen several sites, including HTC's own, showing bluetooth HID under the specs for the Evo 3D. This isn't something I was ever able to find for the Evo 4G.
Don't quote me on it, but I am banking on all the WiiMote apps, bluetooth keyboard apps, and any other bluetooth input device, working properly with the Evo 3D right out of the box.
Thank you bradley. that is exactly what I was curious about. u answered my question and educated me at same time. that was much appreciated.

No problem. If you get a chance, hit my thanks button.
So I got wind of the fact that you can still possibly get a full upgrade even with just a partial upgrade. Now my favorite part of my Evo 4G is easily playing Super Nintendo games with my classic controller.. almost to the point that I think it might even be a dealbreaker for me getting the Evo 3D. Any news on if the bluetooth will be functional this time around or if there are any new 3rd party controllers that work?
Way to early to know that for sure.

HTC Sense has a weird bluetooth stack that didn't allow the wiimote applications or bluetooth mice to work. I believe that's what the OP is referring to, since an Evo 4G with CM7 on it can run wiimote or a bluetooth mouse/keyboard, but not with sense.

Has anyone successfully connected their Bluetooth keyboard? And which kinds can you confirm work for our EVO 3D?

Yes. I had a Logitech connected, and now have my Think Outside stowaway connected.
I currently have a "Rii Mini" (bought off ebay) connected, and it works great. It is a mini keyboard with touchpad.

Sent from my Shooter
Dinovo BT.
I'm not even sure what model/brand this BT keyboard is, but it paired and worked first try. Awesome, since I couldn't get it to work on my EVO 4G.
It's Bluetooth Mini Keyboard from ebay, and it was really cheap when I got it, though I don't remember the price. It's slightly smaller than the phone itself, and thinner.
Made in China, and I think it was shipped from there too.
I have a Logitech MX5000 Bluetooth Keyboard. Paired and connected perfectly.
Whenever the two devices are close by, I just switch on the Bluetooth on the EVO3D and boom... auto pair/connect!
Now we need a good dock with hdmi out (not the one that Best Buy/Sprint was selling) so that this little guy can completely replace my need to carry a laptop around all day long.

Cool, if it supports bluetooth HID profile then the Phonejoy will work - heres my demo with the HTC Sensation (forward to 3:30):

HID profile not available on original EVO. This is the evo 3d forum.
Is there any kind of gamepad solution for the Evo 3D that is confirmed to work? I don't care if I have to purchase a new product, but I would like a way to use either a bluetooth or USB gamepad.
I know the HTC BT Stack lacks support for the Wii remote and PS3 controllers.
Just looking for some input from other Evo 3D owners before I end up wasting my time and money on something that will not work.
You have an option of going to an AOSP rom and using it on there? it works on all bt devices i tested it with a wii mote w/classic controller

Alas, there is not, the only way to get a pad working is to have a stock rom, then connect a pad via usb, wiimotes and ps3 pads work very well indeed, but with sense roms the bluetooth stack isn't compatible with pads, due to sense and it's bluetooth limitations, HID USB i think it is, basically devices can't be used as peripherals, including pads.
I'm in the same boat m8, watching my mate on his Gal nexus whilst i'm slumming it on a touchscreen pad is just a kick in the teeth, i do believe no one has ever gotten a pad to work over bluetooth on any device using sense.
Get Gannii's stock ICS rom when they fix the bluetooth and your golden, the camera doesn't work yet tho either

I think I'm going to go with the iControlPad. From what I've read it's compatible with HTC Sense when using BluezIME, has dual analog sticks and a clip-holder to hold the phone as a screen. Sure, it's $70, but comfort is important when gaming.

I like that the iControlpad comes with a little clip mounting system that makes it feel more like a real handheld gaming device. I don't like the idea of having to prop my screen up somewhere and warp my neck to squeeze in a little gaming
Although I might buy one to have a 2nd controller for when I get my HDMI adapter

Yeah. I've found that Amazon can have some killer deals on some things you might be looking for, namely such.
the moga works well. i got one when they were giving them out for 5 bucks(just pay shipping). i use it from time to time. gets a little weird if you have it linked to a tablet and a phone like i have it for my nexus 7 and dna, but still works. you might just have to delink it and relink it to whichever you want to play at that time. definitely worth the money if you're big into console gaming on android.

Much appreciated for the info. I think I just might be sold on the moga, if it's still in stock by the time I can order it.
I own a Moga controller, use it for my Nexus 7. Pretty awesome gadget to have for mobile gaming!
the moga pro (if same price) might be better. looks way more awesome and probably feels really nice. unless you're going for portability... either one should be good.
I bought a Moga from Wal-Mart so that I could return it if I didn't like it... and I returned it. It irritated me that they went with proprietary support instead of as a general bluetooth gamepad. Most of what I wanted to use it with wouldn't work, and honestly the games that did support it seemed laggy. I'd let go of the thumbsticks and things would still keep moving. It's a shame, cuz it's a really slick controller, and that built-in clip is also awesome, but in the end it just didn't work for me. I also didn't care for the lack of a d-pad (yes, the pro has one, but I like the smaller form factor), and the buttons felt shallow and clicky and required too much pressure to use for my tastes.
I also tried the Nyko Playpad, and while I felt it was a better controller by having a d-pad and two more L/R buttons which were analog, I never got to actually use it because the damn thing didn't work at all on my DNA no matter what mode I used. My phone would "connect" to it, but the gamepad would still keep blinking at me as if it hadn't connected, and it never worked even for a moment.
Note to HTC: if you want to sell phones, stop needlessly f***ing them up. I love my phone, but I hate what they and Verizon have done to it... it'll probably be the first and last HTC phone I ever own, and that's a real shame.

Aside from my last post, has anyone tried a bluetooth gamepad that actually works besides the Moga? I'm dying to get my emulation on with a gamepad, and without root and roms I can't use my previous go-to, my PS3 controller. Actually, has anyone tried a PS3 controller through USB? I'm really curious to know what people have tried and what works with gamepads and the DNA.
the ps3 controller works with sixaxis app don't think it works with usb though.

He's right about the Bluetooth. I haven't tried it using CM yet, will probably try it later on today.

I have been enjoying using my PS3 controller on my phone for a while. Does the bluetooth stack have anything to do with firmware? If so it probably works for me because I'm running an AOSP ROM. I didn't try it on the stock ROM before I flashed a new one.
bump.any luck with any Bluetooth controllers on stock Rom with DNA? thanks
