Ps3 bluetooth wont pair. - HTC EVO 3D

Does anyone know why my ps3 Bluetooth can't connect to my phone? I could connect it to my pos intercept. Its an official ps3 blutooth. (urban camo)

Is your phone rooted and have custom rom?

No its stock virgin mobile ics. I had the same prob. W/ the two triumphs I had for three weeks. On the Bluetooth there is a phone button that you push to pair w/ a phone. I guess ill research what the audio codes are to see if they match. Well that's the only thing that worked better w/ the intercept. Lol

I've been told that there is a conflict with sense and the bluetooth ports that are used for pairing the ps3 controllers.
Install an AOSP or a sense-less rom and you should be able to pair them just fine.
I've tested on a MIUI rom about 4-5 months ago and it ran fine. I think there is even a thread around here somewhere for preset controls for some of the more popular games.

Got it to work.
Its for the Bluetooth earpiece not the game controller. Doesn't look like it will support navigation and reading me my email and messages. Maybe there is an app for it.

Got it to work.
All I had to do was hold the power button down until it flashes red green. Since this is designed for the ps3 first and has a seperate button to pair w/ a phone. I was using the same method I used for the intercept . I didn't get a manual w/ the bluetooth, it had only been out for three weeks when I bought it used from gamestop. It was 50 bucks retail and I got it for 32.00 . Thanks guys, ill save my money now. I also saw some settings on the phoune regarding messaging and text through the bluetooth. Gonna try it now. Thanks again... Sony still doesn't have the manuall online lucky for me its basically the same as the first one they came out with.

gps and bluetooth on galaxy s2

I'm looking to swap out my new iPhone 4s for a galaxy s2 but I was wondering how the gps and Bluetooth is. Are there any issues with the gps? Are there any limitations with the Bluetooth (I.e. unable to pair wiimote/ps3 controller)?
I came from a Samsung Captivate so it would be nice to know before committing to it.
Thanks.

Gps is great first lock takes a while after that its all good. Works with ps3 dont have wii ant comment on that. I love precaching my navigation and turning off my data and just using the vos works great like that, especially with a limited data plan.

Wait you have an unrooted stock SGSII and are able to pair with a PS3 Controller? I've been told that's impossible unless you are running CM7. Do tell your secret.
I'm interested on how it was done as well. To be honest I just wanted to make sure the Bluetooth has good support for headsets, hands free setups, keyboards, and mice.
Good to know that the galaxy s2 isn't plagued with the gps issues from my captivate.
Can't speak to the controllers, but GPS is night and day batter than captivate. I use a stereo Bluetooth headset for hours on end every day, and never have issues. The Thrill had issues, that is a big part of the reason I got the SGS II.

Cool. I'll take a bluetooth keyboard and mouse with me into the AT&T store when I go in tomorrow. I'd go in and swap the phones out today but I left the box and all the other accessories to it at home so I can't do it anyways.

Rooted and running CM7 then I assume?
Bluetooth is fantastic. It connects to everything (I use) pretty much flawlessly. It's the only phone I've ever used that streams song and artist data via A2DP. Vlingo has a listen over Bluetooth mode that activates when you say "Hi Galaxy" and allows you to call, send texts & e-mails, and take notes. Of course there's a big YMMV because Bluetooth is dependent on two devices to work properly and people have had issues with certain in-car systems on the international SGS2 forum. But there's less Bluetooth *****ing about the SGS2 than any other device whose forums I follow.

[Q]Galaxy s2 i9100 + bluetooth mouse. 2.3.5 breaks it. 2.3.6 fixes!

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?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
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?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
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!

[Q] Connecting to IOGEAR BT Device

I haven't seen anyone post this yet, and I'm hoping I won't draw the usual search you fool comments. I am trying to connect to an IOGEAR GBHFK231 handsfree car device which I know usues a passcode to connect. It pairs without prompting me for the passcode, and when it tries to connect i get a message bluetooth device has disconnected, and the BT no longer shows up in the list.
I am currently using Scotts Cleanrom 1.6.5 without any mods installed, but I have had this problem with stock before unlocking, Nils ICS, Scott's Cleanrom ICS, and a few others ICS and GB.
I have also contacted IOGEAR who says they have not received any reports of issues, and will get back with me if they get any information. I'm holding my breath. Notice the blue color.
Any ideas from this renowned collection of geniuses?
This is a cheapo device by the way, and relaceing it isn't a problem. Just looking for answers.
Thanks,
Matt
Wow no responses yet.. I had it connect one time and was able to make a call using voice dial, but after it was disconnected it went back to paired but not connected, then disappeared when attempting to connect. I'm planning to upgrad my car stereo with a bluetooth calling built in model. Am I likely to have similar problems?
Thanks again.
Am I the only one to experience this problem? anyone using a Bluetooth hands free car device and can verify it working? I'm a little hesitant to buy another and have the same problem.

No comments about searching. See? :-D
You might try Amazon reviews to see if there are any reasonable complaints there.
Not sure where Berlin is but, if you live in the south, the bluetooth device itself may overheat on your dash, and that may cause the issue you describe.
Also, not familiar with BT pairing for your device, but you should be prompted for a pin / code. Make sure you're in BT wireless settings on your Rezound when you are trying to pair. It might be good to "forget" your BT device and start with a fresh pairing attempt.

If you've had the device previously paired to the phone, the phone I'd has changed according to the device. Clear your pair list and re-pair or pair, delete the pair, re-pair.

BT is flaky at best right now with the ICS rom. Mine works most of the time when it wants to. Occasionally I will have to reboot my phone to get it work right.
I have the turtle beach px500 headphones and my phone hooks up to them over Bluetooth just fine. Can make calls, listen to music.

htc uses its own BT stack. Unfortunately, BT still has too many variables which is why I have never bought the BT peripheral for my pioneer system. Not worth 150 bucks to have it not pair with a phone down the line.
Thanks for all the replies. I've been through stack problems in the past with some car audio bt devices never won one yet. This issue started before I ever unlocked my phone, and I have used both GB and ICS roms with no luck so I'm going to rule that out for now. I've started getting error messages that say I am using the wrong pin to pair, but have never been given the box to enter a pin. So far as heat etc this was working fine on my Dinc, and hasn't been in the car since I switched to the Rezound. I have also connected it to other phones while trying to fix it without a problem. Does anyone have a method to force the box to open to enter the pin, or is there possible a security setting that I need to remove?
Well I figure it out. I changed the bt device to a setting to use 2 phones, then reset it to factory default and it's working now. I don't know why the other resets didn't do the same thing, but it's working.

anyone here using the MOTOACTV with the GNOTE

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!!

(Help) USB /BT joystick center issue.

Just got a usb otg cable and ps3 mock pad which works just fine, however when trying to get a wired Xbox 360 controller to work, it doesn't seem to like it.
So I did a little search and found an app which someone has used in a video to show off exactly this as well as other otg connectivity.
The app is called USB/BT joystick center.
There's is a free version which is the only one I can get for the galaxy s 3, the paid for version isn't available apparently, even though I think it may work, I've no issue buying it but I can't as it won't let me.
The problem I have with the free one is that I install the center app, which is needed, I am able to see my Xbox controller, then there's a second app which is used to map keys etc.
This app always says that the center app is not installed?
There is very little info out there about this app and this particular error.
I know it can work on the galaxy s 3 as I've seen it in a video, it has been posted on xda recently and it is legit.
Does anyone have any ideas on this please?
Many thanks.

Well I bought it the other day and haven't really played around with it much yet but I tried with wired Ps3 and 360 and it is showing key inputs. and you can also use a wireless Ps3 controller but you have to plug a compatible Bluetooth dongle into phone first to get Mac address.

Yea that's exactly what happened to me, so what I did was switched my old evo 3d on and signed back into it, for whatever reason its available on sensation and the evo 3d. So I bought it, backed it up with titanium, copied the back up to my phone, restored it then allowed it to verify my email address, which it did and now it works
What a pain in the Arse that was.
Now I've got the problem of trying to decypher the actual app lol, all fun an games.
