hi there,
since froyo the A101IT is perfect for me. i was wondering if I can pair my speedlink bluetooth mouse which I use for my thinkpad but i'm not able to pair it with my tablet, because android always wants me to enter the bleutooth passcode. the speedlink mouse does not use a passcode, it pairs BT without a code.
how do I tell android to pair the bluetooth mouse without code? if I dont enter anything the OK button is greyed out ...
Did you try entering 0000 as a passcode?
Moved to general as not android development

yea, and 1234, neither work as it tells me that the code is incorrect - I have a MS wireless BT mouse. I was frustrated, and glad to see im not alone.
did you try leaving the passcode blank - seems obvious - but that is what you are "TOLD" to do on Windows
- Stephen
sure i tried leaving it blank but you can't continue because the button is grayed out.
i also tried 0000 and 1234 of course but the 101 just tells me, that the code is incorrect.
as soon as you enter something in the input field the button is clickable. if i delete the entered code the button keeps clickable for a second, but if i press it quick, it still says incorrect code i thought there is an app for everything ....
@Mr. Clown
sorry for that
other default i have seen is 1111
- Stephen
no chance... my mouse requests a blank code ...
I have the same problem on my at&t streak running official froyo 340 . My bluetake bt510 white bluetooth mouse requires no passkey but the dell streak always asks for one I also tried 0000, 1234 and many others with no pairing success but I think I found the answer well sort of not really well because on my at&t samsung captivate running froyo also (ji6) it automatically pairs with no pop up to enter pin or passkey obviously theres a diference but I highly doubt its hardware related but this info in the right hands should help all of us no passkey bluetooth pairers lol...
Any solution for this?
Is this really something that no one can solve? Sorry for bumping old post but I'm also having this problem with Interlink Bluetooth Mouse + Galaxy Tab 10.1. It does not give me the option to choose no passkey; however, the mouse *requires* no passkey.
Anyone find out yet? I have the same issue?
Just got my Razer ProClick mouse to work with SGS3.
At first SGS3 software always promted me for a PIN code and I know that my mouse has none. It wouldn't allow me to input a blanck code...
What I did was I connected a normal USB mouse (well, not really normal - a Cyborg RAT 7 lol) via a micro USB to USB cable then disconnected it. Then I simply tried pairing the Bluetooth mouse again and it didn't ask me for any PIN code! It just paired automatically. Must have picked up some mouse drivers via USB from another mouse, I don't know.... but it works flawlessly now.
Maybe someone will find it helpful...
If i remember you can enter 0000 or 1234 try those codes. Check archos fans forum mentioned the accessories section.

Try this https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=26041#c33
Hey! Just found a solution!!! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jpn.frontia.waka.Bluetooth
Worked on my Samsung N7000 and BT Genius mouse:
1.Install app and open it
2.Make BT devices search and find your mouse
3.Push single button on the top of application screen
4.Little message apperes below like "ChineseSymbols!"
5.Turn your BT off and on
6. Take a look at you paired BT devices
7. PROFIT!!!

Asked on archos fans but no ideas.
Anyone know how to make android accept a bluetooth pair with no passcode or with an alpha passcode?
My bt gps needs one or the other but doesnt have numeric passcode
My BT GPS pairs with the code 0183. Worth trying might work.
It does not have a numeric passcode it has an alpha one (will also pair with no passcode)
So I am guessing there is no way to make android 2.2 accept a blank passcode or get it to accept alpha entry for passcode (like every other device I have ever used)
I just type a number delete it and send
same problem with my bluetooth mouse on streak 2.2.2 but works with no passkey on captivate 2.2 really need a fix for this
Anyone find a fix for this?
Hi all,
in our business, we use software to print to blutooth connected printers. The newer version of these printers pairs and connects correctly. The older version (older BT Firmware) of the printer has issues reconnecting. The printer pairs and prints OK, but once the printer is turned off then on again, it does not reconnect. When I try to print, the phone comes up with a message in the notification bar asking for the pairing password (12345). This needs to be entered before printing can happen.
Does anyone know how this 'user input' can be avoided? We have had 1 developer look at it and he has been unable to find a solution.
We are unable to update the firmware on the printer.
Essentially we need a routine to watch for a 'pairing password' request (in the notification bar) and auto-enter '12345 OK'.
Is this possible?
Thank you
I believe the latest Android releases somehow broke connection to Icade devices, and now they can no longer authenticate although you try and try to enter the 6 digit code.
I believe i found a workaround, at least because it works here now.
I think i got it working by pure luck here.
- install the Bluez IME from Play store
- enter the app and configure the bluetooth device by searching for the Icadecore (only one i tested)
- select IME (bluez ime) and activate your Bluez IME keyboard.
- try to connect with wrong code and let it fail.
- disable selected IME as keyboard and just use ordinary keyboard now.
- in regular android Settings, you will see the device is paired, and that you can configure it or connect to it. I tried to connect a few times using the white E2 button and after a few tries in got connected.
I believe the Bluez IME somehow makes the device authenticated in Bluetooth settings, and although it fails at native bluetooth connection a few times, it does connect after 3rd or 4th try.
if it still fails , re-enable the IME -> Bluez IME keyboard and when it connect try to type code, although it will fail. and then go back and deselect the IME and use internal keyboard. and then enable bluetooth in android settings and it should be connecting now after 3 or 4 tries and it always work the first time after this step. remember one of the white buttons awakens the devices and connect to android device
i can now connect without using the "Bluez IME" app.
hope it helps those trying to use it on Android4.2.2 (CM10.2)
I think i went through your motions right, couldnt get it to work
I was hoping my iCade Core could work with my nexus 7 so i could get controls working in a game I'm making, but for now looks like the controls will be iOS only *tear*
Nuxes 7 running 4.2.2
Thanks for your tips though I guess you're the lucky one
yes of good course:good::good:
hello, I tried several times but I was unable to pair the device on my nexus 7 with 4.2.1 rooted
any hint?
I can pair it with my galaxy tab 2, but after this, under mame, it won't work even if I can map the keys! Why is that??
I reason I went through your motions right, couldn’t get it to work.:good:

Thanks a lot. I thought I couldn't make this work because in my Nexus 10 running 4.3, Bluez IME wasn't able to connect (I got differente errors regarding BT sockets). However, after trying to use Bluez IME, the iCade appears as already paired in Android Bluetooth settings. I had to try several times but finally it worked (I don't remember if touching "iCade" or the settings icon next to the name in the Bluetooth settings screen).
Off to play some Snow Bros now
Just tested this under 4.4.2 and it still works fine with BluezIME just so you know.
Trick seems to be to select Icade in BluezIME as controller type, and to make it fail a few times when you select BluezIME as keyboard and code fails. then after some tries to connect the device appear as authenticated in Bluetooth devices and you no longer need BluesIME as previously explained.
Bug somewhere in bluetooth, but it is working after some combo's to connect in that app.
For those that can use this method with success:
Would you please make a video of the whole process? And after the joystick is somewhat recognized, how do you enable it in, say, mame? Thanks!

What do you mean when you say to select the BluezIME as keyboard and code fails? I can't get any response from the iCade let alone a failed code message. This is a nightmare. I purchased a HP Touchpad and installed CyanogenMod 9 thinking I saved a bundle on an iPad!
:Edit: I figured it out! You don't try to enter any code at all on the iCade. Open the BluezIME app and turn on Bluetooth. Then scan for the iCade and while it's scanning hold down the five buttons on the iCade to make it visible and select it. Then go down and enable and select BluezIME keyboard. With bluetooth still on keep selecting the BluezIME keyboard again and again. Then (again making sure bluetooth is on) select the Android keyboard. Eventually with a bit of messing you'll have a paired iCade.
The big Eureka moment for me was when I realise you didn't need to do the traditional process advised by the iCade's makers at all. You don't need to go pressing buttons and moving the joystick to enter any code at all.
When it's paired don't forget to enable it as an input device in its bluetooth settings. Also it needs to be enabled in Mame4Droid too! Happy days lads!

Hi all. Sorry to thread resurrect, but it looks like this one comes back every now and then as people figure out a method to make it work.
Here's what worked for me (HP TouchPad, using one of the early-ish CM9 betas, never bothered to upgrade):
Install BlueZ from Play Store. Install the BlueZ HID enabler thingee from the main android-bluez-ime repo over on google code (i can't link because i've hardly ever posted here)
Attempt to pair the iCade from the regular Android Bluetooth menu. When it asks me to enter the code on the iCade, I instead open BlueZ's menu, hit "Select device", then select the iCade. Then "Select Device Driver" and select iCade (HID). Then "Select IME", and select the BlueZ IME.
If it gives any errors, make sure the default IME is set to Default Android (otherwise BlueZ will repeatedly try to connect and fail and you won't be able to get the regular Android settings to try to pair), then go to the Android Bluetooth menu, set the iCade to pairing mode, select it in the Android bluetooth menu, when it asks to enter the code, flip back to BlueZ and hit Select IME and select the BlueZ IME. The connection works every time for me this way.
Then, I select my buttons in the main MAME keyboard settings. If you go this route, you are using BlueZ's IME, and you should NOT select the iCade option in MAME.
Of course, something that I discovered from randomly mashing buttons, is that it seems to be impossible in MAME's UI to actually -unset- buttons without possibly pairing an actual keyboard, or uninstalling the app and/or possibly the roms you want to reset, or something. Haven't figured it out yet, but I need to, because I really screwed up some keyboard settings.
Right now, this does seem to be getting some mixed results in some games that have 2 buttons seeming to always think that I'm pressing both buttons at the same time.. but I think that's because I screwed up my keyboard settings and can't figure out how to unset some of them.
Got it working a couple of times on the TF101 KitKat but now it doesn't work anymore. The ROM is the same as before, same version too. Bluez keeps reporting an error with bt socket. The icade works fine on the iPad. Is there a way to reset it or anything I can do? TIA
Hi,
I've just bought an iCade for use with an nVidia Shield tablet and cannot get it to work at all. I have tried the suggestions a couple of posts above but I constantly get 'BT socket errors' when using Bluez IME.
I have tried it on the shield and a hudl2 which are both Lollipop.
The iCade must be working because I can enter the 6 digit pairing code using the controller and buttons to successfully pair it.
Has anyone got it working with Lollipop?
Regards
My experience:
- Nexus 10 Tablet
- Ion iCade Core
Install BluezIme 1.20 and the HIDenabler.
Select your Icade in Bluezime and in driver: [iControliPad], I have not been able to make it work with [iCade (HID)] because it returns a connection failure [bt socket connect failed icade].
Select the IME Bluez IME.
In the bluetooth settings of your tablet select the iCade will try to appear between the synchronized items. Go back to the BluezIme menu and select the Gboard in IME.
Go back to the bluetooth settings of your tablet and select the iCade again and now it will connect.
The only problem I have is that the iCade does not disconnect automatically, I have to do it manually.

I have used an App, Bluetooth Auto Connect and it seems that the problem of always turning on the Icade has been solved.
Edit: In the end the auto disconnection works. I have chosen ICade (HID) again and the strength to insist at the end the bluetooth of the tablet has recognized it.
Hey guys, I have a HTC 7 Mozart flashed with Deepshining v8.0.
I'm trying to pair a bluetooth keyboard (HP Touchpad Bluetooth Keyboard) with the phone but seem unable to do so.
I put both devices in search/pairing mode.
The phone detects the keyboard, recognizes it as the HP Touchpad BT Keyboard.
I tap to connect. It says to enter a pin.
I enter the pin # (1234 or 0000), then enter the same # on the keyboard and hit enter.
As soon as hit enter on the keyboard, it says "device not supported."
Am I doing something wrong here? Is there a specific pin # I have to enter? Or is this BT keyboard not supported for some reason?
Thanks!
