Pairing Code Missing: External Bluetooth Keyboard Pairing does not connect - Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers

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!

Bluetooth HID issue in ICS

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
BTY here is a video of the keyboard working and connected on GB

Garmin vivofit pairing

Hi,
I got my new smartband, Garmin vivofit and installed Garmin Connect
I signed in to my account, and try to pair back my Vivofit to my phone. The phone can find my vivofit via bluetooth and show the number that displayed on my vivofit's screen. But, it cannot pair when it comes to connecting to the device. It showed a red frown smiley. I tried and tried, it still cannot pair with my phone. What's wrong with it? Is there any alternative app to Garmin Connect, which can be used with Vivofit?
I tried my smartband on two other phones - Honor 4C and Xiaomi Mi4 and it worked properly.
Thanks for your help!
EDIT: My phone is Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Prime

Make sure that wifi, aeroplane mode should be off in your phone while connecting your watch with phone. Because if anything from this is on then it act as interrupt in connection b/w both devices. If these are already off and delete the Garmin Connect app from your phone and reinstall it start connecting again. Still face any issue then check Garmin Vivofit Manual- guideusermanual.com/product-name-vivofit-manual&po=503479&lang=English for troubleshooting.

Screen android phone broken, no USB debugging on, mouse working no visual

Hi guys,
My screen recently died. Before fixing it at a specialized shop, I want to retrieve the data from the phone. Sadly the phone is pattern-locked and until I unlock it I can't access the data when I connect it to my PC. The screen is essentially dead. The image is almost totally black except for small layer in left top corner and the touch sensor is unresponsive, but other than that the phone works and receives notifications and so on.
USB Debugging mode isn't active on the phone and thus I can't replicate the screen of the phone on my PC through software alone, when I connect it via micro-USB. I also didn't think of this problem in advance and I'm not registered on Sony's FindMyMobile or any similar apps.
I tried using a HDMI-MHL adapter and I confirmed that the phone is indeed working because I'm able to get the phone screen's image on my TV. The problem is I can't actually interact with the phone because as I said earlier the touch sensor is not working.
The HDMI-MHL adapter I've used also seems to have a micro-USB port but that seems to work for power only. If I connect a USB-OTG cable on it and connect a USB mouse to it I get image but no mouse. If I connect the USB-OTG and the mouse, alone, I get a mouse cursor but I can't see what I'm doing (phone vibrates as I 'try' and draw the unlock-pattern blindly).
So, Sony Xperia Z3 Compact screen is dead, I wanna connect my Xperia to my TV via HDMI AND use a mouse at the same time to control my phone. Is this possible_
I also thought of another option... go to recovery mode and flash a zip that removes lock. I thought of trying step by step (switch keyboard and TV al the time just to get at point where I can find zip file and flash it). Unfortunately in recovery mode the phone does not allow to stream to TV. It only works when phone is after SIM lock.
Two additions: by removing and re-installing ADB on my laptop my phone is unauthorized. Only a matter of clicking on yes/allow on phone but that's not possible and TWRP 3.1.1-0 is installed.
Anyone any clue? I know I ask a lot but I'm searching the internetz for 2 days now and I'm devistated.
THNX a great bunch!!!
ciao

PS Copy/paste a part of the text from a guy from the internet who had exactly the same problem as I did but his thread ended a few months ago without result.
Just 30 minutes after my post I magically had all the dots correct and that blind!!! So turned on USB debugging and got rid of lock pattern. It was a nice three days of my life Guess there was no solution than getting lucky like I did or screen replacement and getting all your data removed.
ciao

Parrot MKi9200 with Galaxy S2

I've recently upgraded my ROM on my S2 i9100 phone from the standard 4.1.2 official to various unofficial ROMs. None of these allow me to use the hands-free features of the MKi9200 device. All of them will pair with the Parrot but the phone-book does not sync. Pressing the green button on the Parrot (which should allow you to voice dial) simply gives the message "phonebook is busy please wait".
I have reached out to Parrot without any joy to date even after 8 emails each way. My symptoms to them were along the following lines.
"1. The phone pairs with the MKi9200 still but still does not automatically connect when I get into the car.
2. After pairing the phone, the menu item “Bluetooth/paired phones” is still greyed out. It used to have my phone listed there before I upgraded. I guess that this is why the MKi does not automatically connect.
3. As noted above, I have to manually connect my phone now, whereas before I upgraded the smartphone Android version, it connected automatically. When it does connect, it says it is synchronising for a second or two.
4. I can dial a number using the “Phonebook” on the MKi device using the central knob and the menu system. I cannot use the green button as it always says the “phonebook is busy please wait”, even after 15 minutes.
5. When I finish a call, the iPod music does not restart automatically and I cannot start it manually using the “Play” button. The green play icon appears for a few seconds then goes away. I can play a track/playlist by selecting it from the menu system and the central knob.
6. I can play music from my iPod through the MKi9200 but when I press Pause, the red “pause” icon appears and the MKi “freezes”. I have to reboot the MKi to get it to work again.
7. I have tried various options for pairing the phone such as “force AT sync” but none have worked yet."
Any clues from anyone would be very welcome. I've had the Parrot for nearly 10 years and love it. I know it still o=works as I can pair an old phone (with my SIM card in it) and it works flawlessly. There is clearly something about unofficial ROMs that it doesn't like.
For info, I have always installed Micro GAPS or lower and have tried disabling bluetooth scanning and the software "Bluetooth File Transfer (Android)" by Medieval (versions 5.2 and the latest).
Parrot say the MKi9200 is not compatible with Android 8 but I have tried various other ROMs below that with no success.
Apologies if this post is in the wrong place but it seems to be an unofficial ROM thing to me. I feel there is something in these ROMs which is not compatible with my Parrot and was hoping someone would know what that was.

Pixel 2 non-functioning screen, options for using ADB?

Greetings fellow techno-wizards! Got a big problem that I'm hoping you can help me with.
Long story short, my trusty Pixel 2 had one too many drops, now the screen won't turn on and won't respond to touch. The logic board is operating, and I haven't rebooted since then, so I can unlock with the fingerprint sensor.
I plan on getting an Pixel 5 when it releases, and have an LTE Tablet to limp along until then.
My biggest problem is authenticators on my phone that I may or maynot have the backup QR code for, as well as many other things I'd like to get off the phone before I retire it.
I have the following things at my disposal:
Pixel 2, with USB Debugging turned on, and recently trusted the PC. No screen, no touchscreen.
WearOS watch paired to phone (can get notifications and texts)
Bluetooth Mouse
Wired mouse with USB to USB C adapter
Chromecast
Win PC with Scrcpy installed, already tried to use it to show the screen on the PC, I'm guessing its been too long and I have to press a notification to trust the PC.
The Goal:
To cast the screen to a chromecast and pair a bluetooth mouse, and/or get Scrcpy working by accepting the dialog that I can't see. This would allow me to use the migrate tool to the new phone I will eventually get.
I tried long ago to use a USB C to HDMI adapter, that doesn't work. Google wants you to use a Chromecast for such things (Thanks a ton Google )
The thing I need to figure out next is how to use ADB to force the phone to start casting to a Chromecast, or to remotely accept the dialog. The wired mouse with adapter should work to control the phone instead of the touchscreen, but without any video out, I'm clicking blindly. The microphones are working, but I've never tried to command the assistant to start casting before.
Can anyone suggest the next step I should try?
Just had a thought, there are accessibility features for blind people that would let them use the screen without seeing it. Is there any ADB command to enable these features? If I plug in a keyboard, is there a keystroke combination to turn them on?

Since you say ADB is enabled on the phone you should be able to pull out by means of ADB-driver the data in mind to your Windows computer.
