When using any of the GB roms on my AT&T Note, when I go to connect to my iTech Bluetooth keyboard (it uses HIS and SPP Bluetooth protocols) it sees the keyboard, then I get a popup on my phone displaying a random 4 digit pin that I punch into the keyboard and hit enter. It then connects.
The issues (and this is on every ICS Rom/Leak), my Note sees the keyboard and tries to pair, but just sits there. I found that if I hit enter on the keyboard, the popup window will flash with the password, but the issue is, since I hit enter, it is too late and the password entered (nothing) was wrong. Then I try again, the 4 digit password it changed.
So does anyone know how to see (maybe with ADB) what the 4 digit password is without being able to see the popup, or another way to make the popup show?
Thanks for any help

When pairing my phone with my new Mercury Milan (which uses Sync) I was having some issues. Basically every time I tried to enter the 6 digit pin the car gave me it would error out. It appears that either there is a very short time out period or that the phone does not support 6 digit Bluetooth PINs.
To connect your phone to the car you need to get to the point where is gives you the 6 digit pin. Then by pressing a button (usually volume +) you can prompt the car to give you a special pin which is 0000. Using the 0000 "special" pin I was able to pair my phone with the car on the first shot.
This may also be an issue for other devices that default to 6 digit pins. I hope this helps someone out as it frustrated me for a few days and they shouldn't have to play with different radios and ROMs if I already did it for them
Thanks for the informative post.
Every time I scan for my keyboard it shows up, I click it, and the box pops up to enter the passcode. But within half a second or so the box disappears and the phone says "there was a problem pairing with Motorola wireless Bluetooth keyboard because the pin or passkey was incorrect." Half a second was not even a long enough time to enter in the pin it showed briefly anyways, how can i pair?

I have the same problem. Any suggestions?
I needed to do the following:
Reset keyb to factory settings: hold N, E, W keys while powering on
Power off the keyboard
Turn on phone's bluetooth AND make the phone visible to other bluetooth devices (it counts down for 1min 30secs)
Power on the keyboard and tell it to be ready to pair with a computer: hold V, A, R keys while powering on
Now hit scan on the phone
Enter the 4-digit passcode on the keyboard and press [enter]
You should now be paired!
I've tried 2 keyboards on 2 devices.
-Nintendo's keyboard for DS
https://sites.google.com/site/neotechni/Home/nintendo#TOC-Pok-yboard
-Sony's keypad for PS3
https://sites.google.com/site/neotechni/Home/playstation#TOC-Wireless-Keypad
on both the 7" original Galaxy Tab, and the Xperia Play. Both using Android 2.3.3
I can't get either keyboard to work on either device.
The Galaxy Tab asks me to type in a number during pairing, I do so, hit enter, and the prompt disappears indicating it accepted my text, then the device shows as Paired, but when I long-click to select Connect, it does nothing.
The Xperia Play asks me for a code typed in on the phone rather than the keyboard (it suggests 0000 or 1234, I tried both) and after a while it says it was rejected by the keyboard.
Both keyboards are known-good devices (tested on a UMPC, DS/3DS, and PS3)
Right now I am in big trouble. I was trying to automate my phone so that it would turn off my PIN when I am at home and connected to home wifi network using Tasker and Secure Settings, and vise-versa (when I am not home, enable it). But it was not working. In other words, it would detect that I am at home and it would activate the Profile, but it won't be able to disable the PIN. It continued to ask for the PIN.
So in order to make sure that it is taking some action at all after detecting when I am not at home (to test it at work, I changed the "when I am not at home" profile), out of my infinite wisdom, I changed it to actually enable password instead of PIN to see if it asks for the password instead of PIN. That way I would know if the app is able to make any security changes at all.
Sure enough it looked like it has made the password enabled instead of the PIN now. However the keyboard that I get has only the numeric characters, no alphabet. How on earth am I supposed to enter the alpha-numeric password????
I don't know which app messed it up. Is it the Tasker? Is it the Secure Settings plugin? Or is it the SwiftKey keyboard app that is stupid enough to not change from numeric to alpha-numeric.
I have never setup a Password before, only the PIN. I don't even know how the keyboard looks like when you setup the password instead of PIN. I am sure it is supposed to show the alpha-numeric keyboard. But it is NOT.
Please help.
Thanks.
The issue is resolved. Just for someone else running into this issue, this is what happened. I accidentally ended up in pressing the Emergency Call button and it popped up the dialer. Of course I exit out of it, but now the keyboard I got was the correct keyboard - alpha-numeric, and I was able to enter the password.
Hi guys
I am trying to connect my external bluetooth keyboard "Hama KEY2GO X500" with my Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Global (mido).
When I enable the pairing mode the phone wants me to type a pass code on the keyboard and press return. But - I figure this is some kind of bug - it doesn't show me the pairing code. You can look at the attached image to see what i mean.
I was able to successfully pair this keyboard with my old xperia z1c and it worked flawlessly, the phone showed me the code, I typed it on the keyboard and it was connected within seconds.
Do you have any idea how to do this on Redmi Note 4?
Ok never mind. Just when I watched the attached image at my computer screen closely I recognized the pairing code is barely visible. I checked my phone screen and I cannot read it.
so i just started pairing, quickly took a screenshot and sent it to my PC, reading the pass code from my computer screen and entered it. Worked!
