Hey guys. I have been through a dozen threads but no solution to my problem.
I have a Transformer tf201 running Android 4.1.1
I have been trying to pair my icade.
When i try through bluetooth on the tablet it gives me the 6 digit code, i enter it, and nothing.
So i downloaded Bluez IME. The problem here is, when i go to select device it never finds the icade. It just sits there searching forever (and i did the 4 buttons on the icade).
Can anyone help?
I used these instructions with success on android 4.4.4.

Yeah I tried that one. I got it to connect once. But i never could get it again. And the one time it did connect it didnt control anything.

Purchased a Targus Bluetooth Keyboard for iPad (yea I know it said iPad) Model AKB32US from OfficeDepot today. Probably taking it back tomorrow but it is such a nice looking and sized Bluetooth keyboard.
Attempted to sync it with Viewsonic Gtab (TNT ROM) and Archos 101 (Stock Rom) with no luck. I know I need a APK to go along with the keyboard but I needed to try anyway.
Did some searching but the Google-Foo was weak today. Left a message at Targus.com but don't really expect an answer. Tried the Android Bluetooth Driver from the My Gear area on all settings as well.
Anyone had any success stories on Bluetooth keyboards and Gtab?
There are several threads that discuss bluetooth keyboards and different ROMs on the gTab.
Do a search in the Market for an app called Bluetooth Keyboard Easyconnect. It seems to have the most success of making connections for keyboards to the gTab.
Anyone else find it a bit ridiculous that you need an apk helper program to get almost any bluetooth device working with the gtab?
I've had some success with this keyboard/gTab combination. I was running into problems with entering the passphrase. My gTab kept asking me to enter the passphrase. It suggested 000 or 1234 and neither appeared to work. I was able to connect the keyboard to my Galaxy S and it seemed to work fine. When connecting that one though it prompted me on my phone to type a passphrase on the keyboard rather than the phone. Since it (the passphrase) was different everytime I assume it was randomly generated on my phone and sent to the keyboard for authentication. On my gTab it wasn't like that. It prompted me for the passphrase on my tablet and didn't connect. I read on another forum that someone was able to connect by typing the 0000 on their gTab then typing 0000 on the keyboard. It connected for me. Good, now I don't have to return it.
Since I'm not sure which, if any, did it for me. Here's the things I loaded to try and get it to work:
1. First tried to to a straight connect. No luck.
2. Loaded Bluetooth Keyboard Easy connect. (In market). No luck.
3. Loaded Blueinput. (In market also). No luck.
4. Tried the 0000 input on gTab then again directly afterwards on the keyboard. Voila! Success!
5. Uninstalled Blueinput. Rebooted, still working.
6. Uninstalled Bluetooth Keyboard Easy connect. Rebooted, still working.
I am running the VEGAn-7.0.0-RC1-Harmony ROM. (which is absolutley fantastic by the way...)
Much luck to you all.

1.) Put batteries in Keyboard
2.) Put Android Device in bluetooth search
3.) Turn Keybaord on and Press "Connect"
4.) Once the keyboard shows up on Android Device, enter the paskey "0000"
5.) Press connect on your android device, then immediately type "0000" on the keyboard and press the enter key.
That's what worked for me.....

Does this need to be done every time? Or does it remember after the initial pair?
I just got the Targus keyboard working with Honeycomb on the G-Tablet. This is the fastrack version and sems to be working pretty well. No driver needed

Just loaded this Keyboard on my Galaxy Note 10 inch. Works nicely. Nothing required to install.
So in my search for an answer, I have been led to this forum. I have been trying unsuccessfully to log in and register my serial number for my TF-201 with the ICS OS.
I would like to be able to see what updates I am downloading when I am notified that I need to install the update. But this is the message I get after I input my serial number.
"This service is currently not supported on Eee Pad Transformer (TF101) and Slider (SL101) running on Android Honeycomb. It will be available on ASUS Android devices running on Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich)."
So I click on the "OK" button but nothing happens. Zilch. I tried all weekend to do it and it just kept saying "sending". But today, the above message appears. What the heck gives and how can I sign into the site?
I dont know, it worked for me.. I selected "Sign in with Google" logged in with my gmail account, then added my serial number without any issue.

I had to switch over to chrome, but mine is just sitting at sending also, that is after entering the serial number.

Sweet! I didn't know that this service existed. Thanks.
It had a placeholder that said "Comming soon" [sp] until at least 3-4 days ago when I last refreshed the page.
Anyone having success at this?
I am partly convinced it needs to see a GPS location to even have a chance to work, and we all know what great GPS performance the Prime is know for... sigh.
I even tried setting up my TomTom Bluetooth GPS Transceiver before trying the for the umpteenth time, and still no joy. Most of the utility is obviously for laptops/netbooks, but if nothing else I would LOVE to see my firmware update history... double sigh
worked for me indoors, fairly sure I didn't have a GPS signal. Took a long time to download the page though (and on my PC too)
Hey all, my name is Dan, long time lurker, first time poster.
I have done alot of research on the topic, but didn't find much in the way of this particular problem.
I currently have a SGS2 running Ressurection 1.8 and a Galaxy Tab 10.1 running the latest build of AOKP.
So basically the problem I'm having is that both of these devices are stuck in Bluetooth Legacy mode, and what I need is to somehow enable Simple Secure Pairing (SSP).
I have a bluetooth mouse that has no PIN. It was designed strictly for SSP use.
When my SGS2 was running stock 3.2.6 I had no problems pairing my mouse.
My tablet was running 3.2, and it would not pair, it insisted I input the correct PIN. There was no way to leave the field blank and continue, and inputting anything got you a failed pair.
Fast forward to now, I updated both devices thinking that SSP was the standard and now I'm sad to learn that Legacy mode seems to be the only way to pair any of my bluetooth devices.
So basically does anyone have any idea of SSP can be enabled?
Easy solution is to buy a new mouse.
But what would that solve? lol.
Thanks for readin.
Hi there,
I cannot get my Universal Bluetooth Mobile Keyoard to work with my Sony Xperia Tablet Z. Sometimes it will ask for a code, and before I can enter it an error message pops up saying "cannot communicate with device". Other times I am able to enter the code with no errors, however, key presses are not registered at all on the tablet.
The most confusing part about this problem is that my Microsoft Wedge Mobile Keyboard works perfectly well with my tablet. And what's more, when the Wedge keyboard is connected, the bluetooth module in quick settings displays the Wedge kayboard name. While, when the Universal keyboard is connected, the bluetooth module in the quick settings doesn't seem to pick it up. I have also tried using both keyboards with my Nexus 5 running Android 5.0, and both keyboard work fine. Even more confusion!
It's important to note that while trying to connect either device, I've unpaired the other from the tablet. Basically, only one keyboard is paired with my tablet at any given instance. Therefore, this is not the issue.
I've heard that there was a bug in 4.3 Jellybean which caused some connectivity issues with bluetooth devices. My tablet is running a Cyanogenmod 4.4.4 Kit-Kat ROM, so that issue shouldn't be present here (at least, I think...)
Has anyone encountered this problem before, or have a solution?
Cheers!

I think it is an issue of CM. Try stock ROM or CM12.

Turns out CM was the issue. Running stock 4.4.4 and it works perfectly now! Thank you so much!
My first problem is that every time I try to connect to my Nexus 9 using my phone, it pairs for a brief second but then immediately disconnects, and the same thing happens when trying to pair to my phone from my tablet. My second problem is that I can't find a service or app that will directly link the two devices so that I can use my phone as a wireless keyboard for my tablet. Has anyone tried anything like this/have any advice or help? Thanks!
