i just paired my galaxy s with my tf and theres nothing i can do with it! i was hoping that i could route my phone calls to the tab any other workarounds?

This is something I really hope comes to honeycomb. I would love to bridge my phone and be able to text or even see incoming calls from the tablet. Or even transfer stuff from phone to tablet. Kind of like the HP touchpad bridge functionality. But from what i understand there is nothing like this right now, unfortunatly.

If you've got an android phone try installing and running Bluetooth File Transfer on both the handset and transformer to allow you to transfer files wirelessly between them.

More than file sharing im looking at call routing...im guessing thats not possible right now and that sucks :-\

I do know you can use Syncsms and have the ability to text with the Transformer thru your phone directly from the Transformer, but for calling nothing out that I know of so far but im sure the DEVS will find a way to make this happen
Well the only bluetooth thing I've used with my TF is tethering with my DX oh and file transfers work well too, ya that doesnt come up on the list but as long as both devices have the app for it your set.

I just wanted to know if anybody has tried using a bluetooth keyboard and mouse setup. I am interested cause i think this phone would be amazing to use as a 'pc' just like the evo especially since we can hdmi mirror natively and i have verified that using droid overclock to change lcd density works.
I am absolutely DYING to know if this works. My entire life is on my phone and it would be so wonderful to connect a keyboard and mouse and put the hdmi out to my tv. cmon, this has to work. how can the evo do this and i can find nothing, absolutely nothing anywhere on doing this with the g2x?
find it very hard to believe that with all the people on this forum we cant get an answer for this very simple question. Someone please assist.
i have a bt mouse at home. i'll check this evening..but somehow i doubt it... the keyboard SHOULD work tho.. but I don't have one.
I think it's likely that you will need an additional driver to use a bluetooth mouse and keyboard. Search in the market for "bluetooth keyboard driver."
I know Teksoft has an HID driver for Android that is supposed to allow keyboard/mouse input. Its called BlueInput....here...
http://www.teksoftco.com/index.php?section=blueinputandroid
I don't know if/how well it works on our device. I only know it exists. If someone wants to try it and report back I would be interested in knowing too. This could save me from hauling my laptop to work every night.
Hope this helps...
I was in bestbuy and tried the motorola BT keyboard that they market for their android tablets. I kept getting an error on my device while pairing. said, "problem with pairing. please make sure the password on device is ******"
the *'s are always random numbers. I would really like to get this to work. gahhhh
Passwords are usually 0000 or 1234 for most devices, but if not you're screwed and need documentation. I'm going to be ordering a bt keyboard/mouse for my atrix cuz I hacked the webtop on it so I don't need the dock, hopefully input devices work without....

Oh wait, I realized what you're talking about, bt 2.0 uses different password methods.... Back from spacing out, you should be able to click yes that they do match and likely out will attempt to connect.
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
welllll. there is no option to say yest they match. the password changes everytime i try to pair. So yeah, still no definitive answer on whether or not the G2X supports bluetooth hid. how is this so FFFKKKKNNNN hard to find?!
Bump. any help please?
Is this something i need cm7 for? do i get mouse pointer like the evo had in cm6? im so confused please help
There definitely have to be more of us that want to see this become an easy task. im sure many would benefit from this. I know i would love to be able to take all my work notes on my phone without using my thumbs for pages and pages of notes. any ideas folks?
I think the stock rom doesn't support it. I couldn't get my wiimote to pair until CM.
Probably the same deal. I'm sure CM has support for those profiles.
Thanks so much for the input. I've been trying to get the wiimote to work too? Any feedback? Using nexus aosp by faux.

Mines just updated. Supports up to 5 fingers. Much better ten before. Also remote listen/webcam "creepy". But guess you can stream audio for movies now.
Dont tink its as smooth as splashtop. But i did buy this for my milestone, a long time ago.
This works over 3g. So this is best for me. Using my citrix for work over 3g to my tablet or desire.

This is the update i was waiting for because you can leave the app without it disconnecting
The new ui is also a nice change.
yeah this app kicks ass! I bought it for my droid when I first got it, and forgot about it. Tried it on my Transformer and its gorgeous! I bought this transformer/dock combo to replace my busted sreen laptop, and I am just leaving my laptop plugged in and on in a corner of my livingroom.
Some uses for it.
1: I stick an SD card into the laptop, got on phonemypc, downloaded the firmware update for my Transformer, took the SD card out, and updated my firmware!
2: I needed some .txt file and .pdf file ebooks to be converted into proper .epub ebook format. So I downloaded them via my PC using phonemypc, used the program I have and converted them, droppe them in my laptops dropbox folder, and voila! They were on my Transformer!
3: I also bluetooth connected my Transformer to my phone so I have constant internet on the Transformer on the go (Who needs a paid 3g plan specific for a tablet anyway?? Waste of money)
Anyways, at work, I pulled up phonemypc, logged in, and viewed the webcam with sound to spy on my dog!
I love this thing. Love it.
Typed out using my Asus Transformer Dock
is it something like removing too PC?IA m looking for something to able to remote into my PC and be able TP do things PC from remote using transformer ..is impossible with phonetics or do I need to be looking for something else?
This is a pretty awesome app. I like tier connection system in that it only goes through their servers if it cannot find the computer directly. Very responsive on my transformer.
Possibly reviving a dead thread here:
Has anyone tried this with the Transformer's keyboard dock?
Does the cursor / touch pad work?
How about keyboard shortcuts?
hey there!
i've been using a htc desire (gsm) for over a year and got my hands on a transformer 2 days ago. i haven't rooted the transformer yet, but i will.
the question is: is there an app for me to send an sms over bluetooth to my desire from transformer?
that would be great considering the comfort of a physical keyboard.
You could use Skype to send SMSes if you have wi-fi access or tethered data access.

SyncSMS (Use WiFi and DropBox to sync)
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.d0lph1nk1ng.syncsms&feature=search_result
I've used both textab and syncsms, and have to say that I prefer textab much more. It does work through Bluetooth which eliminates the lag that I get from sending outgoing messages via wifi on syncsms. The process of turning textab on and off is a little annoying for me though. It doesn't seem to want to just toggle on and off for me like syncsms does. I have to actually go into settings and pair the devices even when I leave Bluetooth on both devices. Also sometimes I don't get a notification on my phone when I receive a text and the devices are paired.

both apps looks good. will try them both when i get back home from work. thanks a lot!
Just came across SyncSMS. Came back here to mention it, but I guess I'm a bit late.
I was wondering if like laptops and the psp (maybe otherdevices as well) if thereis a way to reduce power when using wifi activley, for instance im right next to my router and dont need full power to pick it up from far away.

I have never heard of a way to do that. My guess though is that at some level android already does this. At least I hope google was smart enough to realize a feature like this would be very useful to mobile devices. However it is possible that our "mobile" hardware isnt capable of doing something like that. But I would sure like to know if it can and how.
I wasnt sure if thehardware is capable or not, in my view I would think you would have to have this idea in mind before hand and make the hardware capable of it. It makes sense for psp ( close ad hoc gaming), and laptops are meant to be versitile, but i could understand if this is not thought for with tablets, while some people use them as laptop replacement, the idea of a tablet is more free and moving around and such)

FYI - in case anyone is interested, I was able to easily tether my TF700 to my Android phone over bluetooth. It'll even share your phones wifi connection via bluetooth! Extremely easy to setup and it just works...
1. Install FoxFi on your phone
2. Install "PDANet for Tablets" on your TF700 (available for free in Play Store)
3. Select "Activate Bluetooth DUN" in FoxFi on the phone
4. Run PDANet for Tablets on the TF700 and configure it for bluetooth.
5. Simple pair the tablet and phone from within PDANet for Tablets.
6. That's it - you'll be tethered to your phone via bluetooth!
I can't believe how well it works.... Enjoy!
Also - Can do the same thing for wifi tethering as well. The nice thing about bluetooth tethering though is that you can actually share the wifi connection on your phone via bluetooth (something you can't do with normal wifi tethering)... Although, I guess if your phone can connect to wifi, you could just connect your tablet directly to the same wifi! But, it works nonetheless!

Are you saying that you can use your phones mobile broadband connection (3g or 4g) on your tablet with this method?

Absolutely. It works flawlessly and without jumping through any hoops.

Is this for those who arnt able to do a mobile hotspot? Trying to understand the advantages. You also mentioned sharing your wifi connect...don't understand the need there either. Not trying to be a smart ass by any means, just trying to understand why BT over hotspot.

Well, if you mean the "paid" hotspot, this method is free. Plus, bluetooth tethering should be easier on the battery as well.
Agreed about with sharing wifi over bluetooth - like I said, it works, but if your phone could connect to wifi, your TF700 should be able to connect directly to the wifi as well. Only purpose for that would be if your TF was not "allowed" to connect to the wifi due to some policy (but your work-supplied phone could) - you could just connect to your phone for wifi access...
But again, the main purpose would be for free tethering (instead of paying a monthly fee).

I paired my phone to my tablet without any of the apps mentioned and was able to get online using the phone's 3G connection. I do have an older phone (DroidX), maybe that makes a difference as far as not needing PDANet, etc.
Forgot not everyone has the ability to do free hotspot. My phone hasn't had a stock ROM since the first handful of stable ROMs were available.

Also, just thought of a use for the share wifi feature. AT&T has alot of free hotspots that are free to ATT devices only, often found at McDonalds. There is often regular free wifi, but the ATT only is less crowded and I usually see faster speeds. I suppose in this scenerio it would be useful too.
It's useful if your traveling with kids and they want to download a new app or something. I have actually found quite a few uses including at work to use it. I just use the hotspot though. The only bad part is that it kills your battery FAST so make sure you have a charger.
I just use Widgetsoid on my Galaxy Nexus to tether.

I have a 5200mah on my note so it'll stay live and kicking for awhile. May have to try BT and see if it's any better on battery then BT.

I set up a profile with tasker so bluetooth tethering to my phone (running cm9) is automatically activated as soon as i turn on bt on the tablet. Works great.

Am I missing something here? I thought this was a standard feature or is this method required for carriers that ban tethering?
I have a galaxy s2 running Samsung stock 4.03 on Telstra Australia and I tether by Bluetooth all the time to my Tf700t by just enabling it in the phone tethering options, pair devices and connect. Done. No hacks or apps required
you dont need any of those apps just sync phone and tablet via bluetooth and it will ask if you want bluetooth to share internet

Either I'm missing something or this is *not* a "Standard" feature for all carriers. In my case, I'm using a "pre-paid" phone from VIrgin Mobile. It's $35/month for unlimited everything (except phone minutes - you get 300 anytime minutes). I certainly can "pair" my devices via bluetooth, but I don't get an option to share my internet (and even thought the devices did "pair", they will not "connect" to each other).
I do know that "tethering" was an extra monthly option in my case (an extra $15/month option!).
Again, I don't see any way to tether without using these apps. The phone itself is an HTC EVO V 4G (re-badged EVO 3D) - If I try to enable the wifi "portable hotspot mode" I get an error and it just won't work. Cannot find a way to share the internet via blutooth either (without said apps).
So, I do believe that this method will be useful for some as I don't believe that you can tether for free with all carriers.
Again, unless I'm missing something!

I tried to tether my iPhone with optus prepaid and got an error saying it was not activated by the carrier so I am sure android must have this carrier dependant feature in place. I had to install a hack on my iPhone to get around it so I can why you may need apps to get around it for Android as well. Just thankful my carrier allows free tethering a stupid idea IMO to not allow it
Sorry a bit OT, but how does one enter the pin code for BT pairing the Asus? (I have a GNote)...I get them to pair but not to connect...I type the number keys on the asus dock and nothing happens...

As I mentioned, I use wifi tethering. I also have the GNote (ATT Version, I717) running King Kang AOKP rom and never have an issue. If you flash ROMs you may be better off just using wifi as it'll autoconnect when you pop the wifi from your phone and no pairing and connecting and pin code mess. Just a thought.
Having no problems with built in bt tether....to my sensation

Widgetsoid is probably a little better. You just create a widget for portable wifi htspot and turn it on. I use it on my galaxy nexus.
