But this:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dancingpixelstudios.sixaxiscompatibilitychecker
Says it's incompatible with the Infuse 4G.
This is just the checker, and I would assume that you could at least download the checker to see if it's compatible... or is the fact you CAN'T download it the check itself? Strange~
Also, this is kind of a +1 for adding PS3 Controller compatibility, or if anyone knows of an alternative for the Infuse 4G.
I hope it works,it would be cool
Not compatible with ANY GalaxyS (or similar) phone. Also not compatible with any HTC Sense phone.
Both Samsung and HTC break the Bluetooth stack in the official firmwares. In fact the general rule (with the Galaxy Tab 10.1 being the only exception) is: If it runs Sense or TouchWiz, it won't work.
Cyanogenmod ports have a fully functional Bluetooth stack (when they have one that works at all - Bluetooth is completely missing from LinuxBozo's CM7 port so far)
I have not yet seen an example of someone "un-breaking" the Bluetooth stack in a stock-based firmware - only in full-blown AOSP/Cyanogenmod ports.

Wish it was as simple as taking a folder called "Bluetooth" from one phone and just slapping it into the Infuse. Oh well, patience then.

Is anyone tried mini bluetooth keyboard from ebay its so confusing that it would work or wouldn't. I asked some sellers some say it will work some will not work, one one seller posting says it would not work with Android 2.2 Any input on this issue I appreciated.

I don't think it will work with our phones. From what I understand, we have BT 2.1 but HID enabled BT is 3.0 at least.

No, the problem is just that Android doesn't have proper drivers for HID. I've been using bluetooth keyboards forever on my old Windows Mobile devices, so I know it's not a problem with bluetooth version. More importantly, no bluetooth keyboard would even benefit from the BT 3.0 spec - 2.1 is just fine. This is true (as far as I know) for all Android devices, except maybe for the Galaxy Tab, where Samsung may have taken time to make bluetooth HID drivers. Not 100% sure on this, but last I saw, Android doesn't natively support bluetooth HID.
It's a shame too - these large screened, high-res devices (especially the EVO with it's built in kickstand) would make great note taking, IM/email devices when paired with a portable keyboard. Would be a great notebook/netbook replacement and/or supplement.
So buying me one of those mini bluetooth keyboard is not gonna do any good for me, some vendors saying specifically android on their title, and one vendor responded that yes epic and evo will work, or its just a scam.

There's a company that sells a thirdparty app to use Bluetooth SPP profile keyboards on most Android phones, but most new Bluetooth keyboards only do HID. HID should work on the Epic when CM6 is ready, but it's unlikely to ever work on an Epic w/stock ROM.

So, like the title says, does Nexus S have Wifi-Direct compatible hardware? Wifi-Direct does not show up in the settings on my NS. Some people have reported to have it though. Is it that they in fact have the 4G model, which has it? Or is it because my ROM / kernel does not support it? I am running CyanogenMod 9.0.0-RC0 v3.4.
i am not sure about it, but older motorola with gingerbread had it, so it is either a HW limitation of samsung vs. motorola, or motorola just implemented it in its bloatware roms
This might not be specific to this phone, since most Samsung phones don't have the ability to do this by default, but maybe it is.
My first Android phone was a Nexus One. Loved the phone, but after about 2 years, it died on me. I was ok with it too, as I was on AT&T and the data speeds were always SLOOOOOW.
Anyways, I have this phone now, and I do miss using a bluetooth gamepad to play snes roms. I tried using the bluetooth input app from the market (the one made by CCP or whomever) and naturally I get the, "This will not work on most unmodified Samsung phones" error message.
While part of me kinda wanted to buy the Galaxy Nexus, which I knew would work with this without any problem, the phone is just too large for me.
If you've rooted your Blaze and taken out some of the apps, have you ever tried to use a bluetooth gamepad (such as a wiimote, which is esentially what I'm using, since I have a Datel gamepad that is basically a wiimote built in) or the newer method which of course is a Sony PS3 controller, that is paired via a connecting cable?
I'm not sure specifically why most of the branded phones don't work with this, all I know is that supposedly the Sense UI phones don't have the proper bluetooth license in their chip so it never worked, I don't know if that was true though, and if it's also true for Samsung's Touchwiz.
I look forward to the day when there are stock ICS rom's that work with our phone available! Until then, I'll use what I have.
Thanks!
If anyone else is wondering, I rooted the phone a couple days ago, and yes, it does. I have not yet personally used the wiipad setup because I don't have any AA batteries currently, but https://play.google.com/store/search?q=sixaxis+controller&c=apps works very well. It connects with "type 2" which means that it has to disable all other bluetooth devices so you can't use a set of bluetooth headphones to listen to music or talk while you are playing a rom, but oh well.
I noticed that Prime 5 has HDMI out working while Ordroid 8.1.0 does not. A black screen appears on Ordroid.
1. Would there be an easy way to look at the differences in libraries between the two and figure out which files are needed for MHL to work properly if anyone is familiar with which binaries provide HDMI out?
2. I saw elsewhere that if it isn't just a HTC specific library, then the correct kernel should provide the MHL interface and swapping the kernel could make a Sense 4 ROM do HDMI out. Any further thoughts?

Do any of the available kernals for the Infuse support Bluetooth 3.0? Is there anyway to tell which version of BT I currently have?
This should be in Q&A. I'm almost positive that the Infuse is v2.1

pretty sure stock rom with touchwiz is 3.0 but it also lacks some older protocalls that they use for game controllers, i've also been unable to connect to old smartphones (windows mobile and symbian) for contact exchange with touchwiz roms.... do you need something fast? because the bt 2.1 on cyanogen mod and other opensource roms has much more compatibility. what do you intend to do thatyou need bt 3.0?

I have a controller that needs BT 3.0 or higher. But I'm thinking it's probably best to upgrade the phone after the holidays.
