Wondering if there's a way to make my Evo behave as a Bluetooth headset so I can connect it to my PS3 when I go online. I always seem to lose my BT headset and would be great if I can use my Evo and broadcast it over its external speaker. I've tried searching in the Market and on the net for an apparently that would allow us to do that. I would imagine since our phone is BT ready, it would be easy to cook up an app to allow this function. Problem is I have zero app developing experience.

i think the playstation's Bluetooth works a bit different then normal? I think this because of the way you need to pair the controller on PC bluetooth dongles. It's not as simple as a regular bluetooth device.

Well, out of the box, if the Evo offered a BT service as a "headset" then it wouldnt be a problem. You can use any bluetooth headset on the PS3 as long as you have the sync pin, ya know.
So it sounds possible, but I'm not a developer either so I don't know for sure.
I have an TF101 running 4.0.3 stock rom, rooted with ViperMOD.
I have a bluetooth speaker, HMDX Audio HX-P230.
It won't pair with my device.
My tablet will see the speaker, but when I try to pair them it gives me an error: cannot communicate with [bluetooth ID].
Now, I know the bluetooth in my tablet works because I use a PS3 control via bluetooth.
I tried resetting my tablet, and disabling and reenabling the bluetooth.
I made ABSOLUTELY sure Sixaxis Controller was not running or started or active in any way.
I know the speakers work because they will pair with my phone.
So why won't they work together?!?!?!?

I'm going to assume that you have tried the pass code of 0000 when pairing the 2 devices. While they are SUPPOSED to work with "all tablets," the majority of the time the manufacturers think ONLY of a tablet as an iPad, instead of the many Android variants out there. Some tablets in the settings you HAVE to enable audio over bluetooth, while others do it automatically.
Also I've found often times when trying to pair devices the one that you want to pair with i/e your speaker, turn it off wait 15 seconds, turn it back on and make sure that the lights are flashing showing it is searching for a host. Then under the tablet settings have the tablet search for the device, and try to pair with it. It will either do 1 of 3 things. Auto pair without prompting for the pass code, or it will put the pairing on hold until you input the pass code, in this case 0000, or it will fail.
You might have to go into your phone and "forget" the pairing connection with the speaker for it to be able to be found and used by another device.
Hello,
This is probably a long shot but I was wondering if anyone running the latest official CM10.1 preview has an iPega Bluetooth gamepad and if it is with working for them? Mine was working when I was on CM 9.1 but not since I went to CM 10.1. It pairs but none of the apps that had worked with it before recognize the input using any input mode. Other than that the ROM seems to be fine and hats off to the devs for the great work. Thanks.
So it turns out that I am having the same issue with a BT mouse (MS 5000). It will pair but not connect. I have unsuccessful tried several things like resets, reboots, and some of the bluez related fixes posted on other forums related to this specific accessory. (From what I have read, bluez is not the method JB uses for bluetooth anymore so that did not work.)
The controller is supposed to just act like a BT Keyboard (in the way I have configured it). I am wondering then: has anyone running this rom successfully used a BT Keyboard or BT Mouse?
Thanks.
As a final update I sold the ipega and never did see it working on CM10.1. However I did pick up a Moga which works well with the universal drivers in the play store.

Has anyone been able to get a DS4 control to pair to the N5 at all over BT? I dont mean getting it functional in games i just mean getting it to pair period. I have my DS3 working w/ the sixaxis app but my DS3 wont connect to my surface via BT so I decided to try my DS4 which works great. I tried to pair to my N5 and it shows as an available device but just hangs on "Pairing" and never goes anywhere.

The NP works with Bravia sync and the Sony tv remote. You can navigate with the arrows, play, pause etc. I figured this out by accident.

Xbox 360 Wireless controller: works with the official wireless PC adapter. I've tested 4 controllers. Button mappings aren't the same as Bluetooth HID. R/L bumpers act as the R/L triggers. R/L triggers act as the X/Y axis of the right analog stick (mouse simulation). Other discrepancies.
Nexus Player Gamepad - Not perfect either. Uses standard Bluetooh HID mappings, but lacks a proper start/select button. Does not work properly with Soul Calibur.

Nyko Playpad Pro works perfectly, got 2 of them for $12 at gamestop:
http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/nyko-play-pad-pro-tablet-controller/104098
Another Controller...
Two things to add to the list of things that work....
* The Gamestop Red Samurai. It is listed on their site as "Tablet Wireless Game Controller V2", here: http://www.gamestop.com/android/accessories/tablet-wireless-game-controller-v2/104425 I like it because it is $12 and has a rechargeable battery. I have a pair of these. I have only had issues in one game, but I have not tried too many of the games with this controller. Warning, when I went into the store, the two employees there had no idea what I was talking about, I brought up the web page, showed them the product and that they had it. I have been to two game stops that had it, and it is always in the back room, very odd...
For Remote:
* Logitech Harmony Smart Control. This is the fairly current one, it has a little black WiFi enabled emitter and a simple remote. I was able to get it to talk with my Nexus Player and I can do everything that I can do on the regular remote. Works great.

I believe the high-end Harmony (ultimate?) can also connect via bluetooth and registers as a bluetooth keyboard, which is pretty sweet.

harmony smart and harmony ultimate
both use the exact same hub
just different remote
all communication is done at the hub
the smart is working for me (with a workarround tutorial posted in the harmony forum)
(basically you add a windows pc and tell it you have a bluetooth keyboard, then map the keys in the activity)

I had to clear it's state. Power it on. Then press and hold the select button for 3 seconds. Then after that click the NES30 option on the nexus player to pair the device. It should work after that.
Ok I tried that last night and it would pair but then unpair a minute or 2 later. It would work and then I could load up a rom. However, 1 minute into the game it would unpair. It is a brand new controller.

I'm having a couple of issues with the button mapping. My play/pause aren't fulling working. How did you set this up? Did you pick Windows PC or what bluetooth device did you assign the controller for?
Thanks

only one i cant seem to map is the letter (C)
as you need that in xbmc for contect menu to schedule a recording or delete one
OUYA Controller
went out and bought an ouya controller based on this thread
the description of it working with some games as exceptions is a bit misleading
its very flaky, disconnects frequently, sends incorrect button presses randomly, and just stops sending commands out of no where. as an example the trigger is used for gas in a car game, every 5-10 seconds you need to release and pull again or the car stopps as the trigger acts like its not connected.
now before you blame the ouya controller or the batteries
i have connected it to my nexus 72013, my nexus 5, my nexus 7 and my nexus 4
it works perfectly on all of them
and the nexus 5 and nexus 7 2013 are on lolipop 5.0
so the issue is with the nexus player rom
my nexus player itsself is not defective
all other bt devices (remote, keyboard, mouse) work fine without disconnect
to anyone thinking of buying an ouya controller based on this thread
dont waste your money
just wait for the asus controller to arrive
(too bad they dont sell them in stores, i hate online orders always 2-3 weeks to arrive)
Also the "measy rc11 air mouse" works very well (I have one that I used on a mini PC mk808)
